So I've decided that I am going to be using some scenes from the Capture of Benedict Arnold because that episode was just amazing! I will be changing some of them to fit my story though. I hope you like this second chapter. Also, I don't own Timeless!
Agent Christopher had beat them to Mason Industries by only a few minutes so Lucy was a bit surprised to walk into the building with the others and see Agent Christopher already ready for them. She stood in their usual meeting room with a file in her hands and Connor Mason at her side. Agent Christopher had her usual stoic look on her face and didn't seemed at all bothered by Connor's presence.
"Flynn's gone back to September 25, in the year 1780-"
Lucy cut her off already knowing the significance of that date, "During the Revolutionary War-"
"That was when Benedict Arnold became known as the biggest traitor in U.S. History."
All eyes turned to Wyatt who smiled a little, "Like I told you before, I know my war history."
Lucy, who was usually annoyed when she got cut off, simply smiled. She turned back to Agent Christopher and Connor Mason, "So Flynn's gone back to the discovery of possibly the biggest traitor in American history...why?"
She didn't expect an answer and she didn't get one.
Connor simply shrugged, "We don't know but I do know that every second we waist here is another second Flynn has to destroy the beginning of-of America so it's probably best that you three hurry."
Lucy exchanged a glance with the others and knew that they had noticed Connor's anxious behavior too. She left the room with the others and went down to grab the proper clothes they would need for this trip. Lucy smiled as she saw Jiya follow Rufus, probably to say good luck and kiss him. Lucy grabbed a blue dress and after getting dressed she re-grouped with the others. As they got into the time machine Lucy felt this bad feeling stirring inside of her like this trip wasn't going to end well but, just as she did back at Agent Christopher's house, she shook the feeling away.
The door to the time machine started to close and as soon as the door was completely closed Rufus started the lifeboat and took off.
Lucy swore that travelling in the lifeboat never got any easier even after all the missions they'd been on. She heard Wyatt groan and knew that it hadn't gotten any easier for him either. The team of three slowly made their way out of the lifeboat and into the woods of 1780.
Lucy walked silently with the others to the house of Benedict Arnold and as she looked around she felt the same feeling of amazement she got every time they went back in time. Lucy was standing in front of Benedict Arnold's house, the biggest traitor in American History, and it took her breath away.
"Don't move!"
In a second there was a group of Patriots surrounding the three with muskets pointed at them. The three put their hands up as the General stepped forward to address the group. The General had a scowl on his face but that's not what caught Lucy's attention or made her heart stop. What really caught Lucy's attention was that it wasn't just some General it was-
"General Washington." Lucy felt a small smile creep onto her lips, "Your excellency."
She felt both Wyatt and Rufus look at her but she didn't turn to them instead her eyes remained on the legend himself.
The General looked at Lucy, his eyes seemed to size her up, then he looked at the other two and addressed his soldiers, "Bring them inside."
Washington quickly walked inside of the house while the three shared a glance. Before any of them could say anything there were guns pressed up against their backs and a rough voice saying, "Move."
Lucy glanced at the others and then lead them inside the house. They were quickly ushered into a private room where they were left to wait for the General's orders on how to proceed.
Lucy saw Wyatt glance around the room as if looking for an escape while Rufus nervously paced the room. Lucy sat down on a nearby chair while her brain tried to process what was going on.
Wyatt, after finding easy way out, turned to Lucy and Rufus, "Where's Flynn."
Lucy shook her head, "There's no way of telling where he is right now, he could-"
"Be right here."
They all turned to see Flynn standing in the doorway with a gun in his hand. Lucy quickly turned to Wyatt only to see that he already had his own gun out and pointed at Flynn. Flynn had a look in his eyes that Lucy couldn't quite place but it wasn't a good luck.
"Put the gun down." Flynn told Wyatt, "I don't want to kill you...but I do need your help."
Wyatt didn't put the gun away, "Why would we help you?"
Flynn looked frustrated, "If you don't I have a man outside who will kill Washington if he hears even one gunshot. When Washington comes in her I need you to just agree to whatever I say."
"You wouldn't kill Washington!" Lucy had a feeling that he would but she couldn't allow him to.
Flynn glanced at her, "I killed Abraham Lincoln."
There was silence for a moment. Lucy turned to Wyatt desperate to save their first president, "Wyatt put the gun down."
Wyatt didn't budge.
Rufus took a cautious step forward, "Wyatt-"
The door handle turned and in stepped Washington along with some other men. Wyatt growled but quickly hid the gun from the General's view.
Washington, who didn't seem to notice anything bad going on, turned to the Wyatt, Rufus, and Lucy, "Are you who this man says you are."
Before the others could reply Lucy nodded, "We are."
Flynn stepped towards the General, "Can we please tell them about the mission?"
Wyatt glanced at the General and Flynn, "What mission?"
Lucy looked at Flynn who looked at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. Lucy unconsciously took a step back getting that weird feeling in her stomach. She already knew this wasn't going to end well. It never did when Flynn was involved but this time...this time she knew it would be worse. Much worse.
The Capture of Benedict Arnold was a rather intense episode and I hope you guys liked it as much as I did. I want to thank the three people who reviewed my first chapter and I hope to see more comments on this chapter. Thank you so much for reading. :)
