National Treasure

The Idea.

Skylar's pov
They all looked at me a mix of emotions in their eyes, Katie looked pissed while the other two looked panicked, and slowly nodded then we all got up and walked out of the café for a few minutes and went into an empty, old, abandoned part of town where it was just us, and a few other people occasionally, but most of them were probably assassins or allied with the assassins, as when they spotted me they showed me an unnoticeable shine of their hidden blades...and since I'm an assassin under Mentor Altair he makes us memorize every high ranking assassin in order to move up the ranks, if I'm being honest which puts both pressure and relief into my veins as if they are here then if I needed them I could probably ask them for help but that also means if I mess up everyone is expecting a lot of me being a apprentice to Mentor Altair. So no-one that could ruin our plans could overhear us or our planning of anything involving this mission.

"So what is everyone good at so that we can understand what to do and when so that we can plan to steal the Declaration of Independence better then just throwing a random plan together?" Katie asked while we climbed up an old rusty fire escape that probably hasn't been touched since it was made and if it was it was probably to get up on the roof, which I might use later.

"I'm pretty good at stealing things mostly money" Mercedes says smiling sweetly but there was something hidden behind that smile, stress? Fear? I couldn't quite tell as it was mixed with something else, but I'm busy thinking about what am I going to say cause I can't say that I'm an assassin, hitman, or mercenary which are the only three things I can think of to describe my... expertise, we had crawled through one of the windows , if I did that would mean everyone here besides...nope everyone here, including the Sacara and Mercedes, would get killed...well besides me and Nate...we would get demoted and I'm NOT being demoted not now and not ever it happened once and I was lucky to be given a chance to fix it.

"I'm pretty good at...driving..." Katie says slowly as if she's not trusting us but I don't really care if she does or not that's not my business cause I don't trust them either... it's just convenient that if this goes south I now have three people to blame it on. Ok so, so far we have a not fully trained assassin, a hacker in training who is training under Aiden Pearce and who only does it cause of money...or well not quite sure on Nate's motives just yet, a thief who probably could not survive if she got into a fight with a templar or anyone with even simple training, a getaway driver who we would be lucky if she didn't turn us in herself right here right now, and most likely a historian...well speaking as she was sad when we found her she probably got fired from her historian job which can be useful.

"I used to be a historian I got fired" Sacara says sadly, her and Mercedes trust way to easily, hugging herself. So I was right she did get fired from the job wonder why...I'll ask Nate to find out. Then they all look at me and Nate wanting an answer from us about our professions which is going to be scary of they don't be careful.

"I'm a excellent hacker and she's quick on her feet weather it be mentally, emotionally, or physically...she normally makes the plans" Nate says, for me, and I send him a grateful smile but mentally sigh for how close that was. He says I'm quick on my feet, emotionally and physically yes I am but mentally not yet which is why I'm not a Master Assassin just yet but I will become one! If it's the last thing I do I will be one, I mean the ones who work under Mentor Altair always do and if they don't...well I don't know I've never heard about that happening. I snap out of my thoughts when I see Nate open the window...I guess it was kind of warm in here.

"So we have a hacker, getaway driver, historian, thief, and a distraction" Mercedes pointing Nate when she said hacker which makes him glare, then pointing to Katie at getaway driver she huffed and leaned against the wall, then at Sacara when historian was said who just smiled sadly, then to herself when she said thief she gave a smile which reminds me of Mentor Ezio's smile a little bit, then to be when she said distraction and part of me hated that title. Nate glanced over at me as my hand twitched in annoyance.

'Oh yeah cause I was already the rank of distraction before...twice! And I got up to the rank Apprentice Assassin twice! And I am not dishonoring my family again BY GETTING DEMOTED' I mentally snarl grimacing slightly as I clench my fist digging my nails into my palm before I hear something hit the ground, I also heard some trash cans fall over, so we run onto the fire escape and look around while they all look. I hit Nate, who gains everyone's attention, then I point to a girl who's running away from the building with heels on? Damn I wish I could do that...wait if she's running from this building then she heard what Katie said! Shit.

"Jessica!" Sacara growled gripping onto the railing I looked around and noticed that since we're in a not so good part of town most of the building had low roofs so I made a plan instantly to climb up. I check my hands and they were fine so I could use them to get up without pain.
