Interrogation time- Oh mister Church!
Angelica flips through the diffrent pages of the binder, a grin on her face.
"Yes, yes yes yes yes YES!" She squeals, hugging it. "Everythings here! Oh thank god, James, if I wasnt married, I'd kiss you right now!" James steps back, looking worried. He did NOT want to piss off Angelicas husband, John Church.
Angelica had managed to get a text message off to him, ordering him to stay the HELL away from New York and to stay at their house in london, and to text her about anything that happened. So far he was texting her about some day to day stuff that happened at the palace, like how Fredrick had bragged to him in private about beating his own son until he bleed(Angelica had words to hand to Fredrick. Really.Harsh.Words.), and how he sent his own daughter and sister away to Russia so they, quote on quote, wouldn't get in the way of his plan.
"Let's just focus on the binder right now, love." Lafayette says, sitting beside her. They were back at Theodosia's house, Buzzy laying against Thomas's purple jacket again. Angelica knew the dog knew they were TRYING to find her owner, but they didn't know where to start looking. Hopefully with this binder, they could find out who to ambush and interrogate first. "Whose the first two names on your list?"
"Let's see..." She flips for a while before getting to the list, glancing down it. Many names were of republicans, and many names were crossed out. There was only five names still at the top of the list that she had triple circled and underlined twice. "Benedict Arnold, Thomas Conway, Charles Lee, John Adams, John Andre. We can cross out Lee, I only left him on cause he pissed me off."
"Which leaves the two people James saw on his trip there, Conway, and Adams." Lafayette says, humming. "Did you see either Conway or Adams when you went to the offices that day, James?"
"No, when I walked past his office Andre was in there. It was like his entire office had been cleaned out and replaced with Andre's stuff."
"And our offices?" Angelica asks, and James sighs. "Cleaned out too. I saw Eliza and the others though, I think they have our stuff, Eliza's bookbag looked like it was full of those snow globe things you collect, Angelica. Hercules also.." He grabs the envelope in his pocket, handing it to Lafayette. "He wanted me to give you this. He said he was sorry for being an asshole, they all apologized."
"On what grounds?" Theodosia frowns. "Eliza pointed a damn gun in my face." Lafayette stares at the note in his hands before shoving it into his pocket.
"They said they'd been threatened by Arnolds and Andre, but I didn't buy it in the slightest. I think Hercules was really sorry-"
"If he wants to apologize he can do it after we find our friends." Lafayettes voice is cold, quiet. He sounds upset, but at the same time resigned. "Right now, we focus. Where does Adams live? We can visit him first." Angelica flips through the book again- she'd scribbled down the adresses of several of them from time to time to make sure she knew exactly where they were- and stops at Adams resume. Right, she had snatched this off his desk one day while he wasnt paying attention.
"3051 M St, Washington, D.C." Angelica rattles off, and Laf grabs the keys to Theodosias car.
"We go there then." He says, turning to leave. "Let's go."
"Laf, we should really talk-" James starts, but goes silent when Angelica yanks him over.
"Let Lafayette deal with this himself, James." She hisses into his ear. "He's a big boy. Plus, you know how he is with feelings. He doesnt come to someone until he's processed it himself."
"But I'm worried about him!" James complains, and Angelica sighs. "I am too, but right now, we make sure he doesnt do anything stupid and that he stays on the right track, okay?"
"Okay.." Angelica let's go of him as they follow Theodosia out to the car. "Just.. Can we make sure he doesnt hurt himself?"
"Yeah, of course. Now get in the car, we have a long-ish drive."
-
Angelica get's out the car, pulling Lafayette's hoodie more over her head. They had stopped by Lafayettes apartment again to borrow some more clothes to wear, since Angelica was using Theodosias, and James was mainly in Hercules's clothes. She pulls the sweatpants up again, tying it up for the fourth time.
"This is the place." She says, looking over at Theodosia and the others. "Atleast, that's what his resume says."
"Hopefully he's here." Lafayette mutters, looking both ways before crossing the street. Angelica waits as a couple of cars drive by before crossing the street as well, holding the binder tightly in her arms. That was the LAST peice of evidence they had that SOMETHING was going on. If she lost it she didn't think she'd ever forgive herself. Laf rings the doorbell twice, stepping back as someone makes their way to the door. A young looking light skinned woman awnsers the door, and Angelica remembers that Abigail was younger than Adams by nine years.
"Abigail?" Abigails eyes widden, and she rushes to hug Angelica.
"Angelica! Holy crap, I thought you were dead!" Angelica pulls away, staring at her in concern.
"Why did you think I was dead? What the fuck Abby?" Abigail glances around before tugging Angelica inside, letting the others walk in before shutting the door.
"John's dead. My John, not yours." Angelica's eyes widden, but Abigail continues. "Single gunshot wound to the head. They said he was killed when those shooters were in the White house, but like I was telling John, your husband, Angelica-"
"Johns here?!"
"In the parlour-" Angelica pushes past her, nearly running to the parlour. She hadn't seen her husband in so long; He had moved to London to be nearer to his sick and dying mother, and since Angelica was a senior advisor for Washington, she couldn't go with him.
"Johnny!" She all but jumps into his arms, kissing the man, who confusidly kisses her back. "Oh, I've missed you so much! What the hell are you doing here- I thought I told you to stay AWAY from Washington!"
"Ah, no, you told me to stay away from New York." John cheekily says, pulling his wife close. "You never said I couldn't come to Washington." Angelica swats his arm, a small playful frown appearing on her face.
"Your lucky I'm so nice."
"Jay-Cee! What a pleasure to meet you again!" Lafayette walks over to the couple, shaking Jay's hand with a smile. "Suprised to see you here." Jay nods at James, who only nods back.
"Suprised to see you guys here. Glad you are here though. I thought Abigail here knew where you were, so I've been trying to get information out of her."
"Why do you need us?" Angelica steps back, one hand going to the knife in the sweatpants pocket, and Jay raises his hands.
"Nothing bad, I promise babe! Or well, it is bad when you think about it but-"
"Whats wrong?" James says, and Jay takes a deep breath before speaking.
"I know where Washington and your friends are."
