Chapter Two
Dear Connor,
You have never met me, but Haytham has mentioned you to me. It is with utmost importance that I am writing this letter. First and foremost, I am your Aunt, Jenny Kenway. I know you would have had a tough time deciding to do what you did, but I do not blame you because you are only doing what you think is right. It was very shocking for me too when I found out that my own brother is a Templar when he had been raised to be an Assassin.
Sentiments aside, it pains me to inform you that the threat of the Templars is still not yet diminished. Before he left, Haytham left an important item that has lead me to contact you. I cannot explain everything in a letter as this letter may be intercepted and destroyed. I need your help. Come to England immediately.
Regards,
Jenny
I set the letter down on the table and stood near the window. The sunset cast a pink glow on the sky. And so I pondered on the new possibility that someone yet remained in my distraught family. How was I to know that this letter is legitimate? What if this was another trap? Then I decided, I was not about to let this chance go. If this was indeed a trap, I could handle myself. After all, I was an Assassin. It was decided. I would set off for England soon. The only problem was getting Captain Faulkner to allow me the Aquila for the journey.
"To where, my boy?" Faulkner asked as he sipped a cup of coffee
"England."
"What?!" He was now gagging. "That must be some hell of an important business you got if you want to bring the Aquila that far, with all the risks of pirates along the way."
"Rest assured, it is, Captain. I hope this isn't too much trouble for you." There was a moment of silence. His eyes gazed away, in deep thought, I presumed. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to. This was too much to ask from-
"When do we set off?"
