Finding their friends
"You do?!" James had never seen Angelicas eyes light up as fast as they did in that second. "Where are they?!"
"First, babe, calm down." Jay grabs her by the shoulders. "Take a deep breath in, and out." He waves his hand to the couches, looking over at Abigail. "Abby, I know we're using your house, and I'm terribly sorry about that. Can you make us some tea, love?"
"Of course I can. Just stay here, I'll make some lavender tea." James sits down beside Lafayette, who huffed.
"Spill the metaphorical beans, Jay-Cee. How do you know whwere they are?" Jay pushes his wife down onto the couch before sitting down himself, clearing his throat.
"As you all know, I work in the British parliment. instead of being elected in like all the rest, my family has served the crown for as long as the crown has existed. Of course, my family did help with the american revolution by descreetly going behind the ruling monarchs back and handing information off to the general of the army here in america, but it was for a good cause." Jay chuckles. "Recently, my family has been keeping eyes on both George and Fredrick. Their the two biggest leaders since the american revolution, and it's getting bad. George openly opposed Fredrick, and Fredrick openly hated George. I was charged in keeping track of Fredrick-"
"Mon aime, not to be rude, but what the FUCK does this have to do with our friends?!" Lafayette frowns, and Jay huffs.
"I'm getting there, I'm getting there!" He says, continuing. "I was charged in keeping track of Fredrick, aka, making sure he didn't do anything stupid. About a mouth or two ago, Fredrick made the trip across the atlantic to Canada, somewhere he rarely visits. That's when the bombing happened, and the missing papers started, correct?"
"How did you know about the missing documents?" Angelica asks at the same time Lafayette says,
"How did you know about the bombing?"
"We had a spy on the inside watching George. His name was Ollie, Alex hired him. Poor boy was killed during the shooting."
As Angelica fought with the man infront of her holding a gun, she saw a younger boy on the ground outside. A name came to her- Ollie- and before she could move again, the assailent had knocked her to her feet. They slam the butt of the gun into her head, and Angelica saw stars. She weakly kicks at them, but the pain was too much, and she passed out, barely registering the needle that was inserted into her neck.
"He managed to get a message off to us before he got shot. We put two and two together and knew Fredrick must have been in the middle of it."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Angelica asks, and Jay sighs.
"I love you babe, but we didn't know if they had got to you. I came here to break you out of whatever jail they had put you in- They are seriously looking for you guys- but I see that you guys have been doing quite well on your own."
"They've been staying with me." Theodosia says, taking a cup of tea from Abigail, who places the cups on the table infront of them. "I've been making sure nobodies found out about them." Jay nods.
"Thank you abigail. Nice job, Mrs.Burr. I've been staying in London so far, poking around and trying to find out if anyone in the palace knew where they were when Fredrick came to me. He was dead drunk,couldn't get a word out of him at first until he spilled the beans and told me he had to call a doctor for his prisoners. I asked him why, and he told me one of them, a girl, had gotten sick, and that she was staying with Washington for the time being, because he didnt want anyone else getting sick. He's moving the rest of his prisoners to the tower to isolate them." Angelica gasps slightly.
"Peggys sick..?"
"So sick that she needs a doctor, yes." Jay says. "I need all your help in saving your friends, but we have a small problem."
"What's the problem, Jay?" James asks, and Jay huffs.
"We'll have to take a ship to London. Their screening everyone at the airport, and plus you guys are now FBI's most wanted, since you guys know what really happened."
"And if we take a avion they might catch us." Lafayette says, and Jay nods. "We will have to be smart about this then..."
"Thats why your taking a ship there. A frieght ship, my family owns the company. It'll take two weeks, so by the time we get there, we'll know what Peggy has."
"What if she has something bad..? I mean, we don't have an actual way to save them once we get there, If Peggys really really sick, then we won't be able to move her." Angelica says, looking over at her husband, who was grinning. "Why are you smiling, this isnt a smiley thing??"
"Remeber when I told you he sent his sister and daughter away to Russia?"
"Yeah why?"
"His sister can legally take over the throne if she so pleases. It's her birthright, technically."
"Dosent Fredrick have two sons? One of them is older, right?"
"One is almost eighteen, the other is only ten. Caroline is thirty eight, she's old enough to take control. You guys will be watching Fredrick and things like that while I go to Russia and bring Caroline and Amelia home."
"Will they even come with you? Do they trust you?"
"Amelia is twenty three, I've known her since her mother died." Angelica raises an eyebrow, looking over at her husband, who huffs. "And yes, we did have an affair when we were younger, okay?" James chokes on his coffee, looking away.
"Anyway!" Lafayette says, a smile on his face. "When is the ship getting here? How are we getting on?"
"Shipping crate and in an hour." Jay says. "You all will be placed in a shipping contanier with your things and set onto the ship." He rubs the back of his neck. "Our ships have been getting looked over since we've got here, so you'll have to stay in the container till we set off."
"We won't be hurt or anything?"
"As long as you guys don't more around to much. You'll be fine. Now, you guys get back to Laf and Theodosias house and get some clothes. It's going to be a very, very long trip."
