The Black Serpent docked at Tortuga, down the path from the manor. "If they don't know we're here, they must be blind. A massive ship with tattered sails and a huge serpent figurehead docking here doesn't spike their interest then the noise we'll make sure will." Adelaida muttered as they hurried across the rocks to get to land.

"What do you want to do?" Edward asked.

"The moment my crew create a ruckus," she glanced behind her. They dived from the ship to swim to the proper dock on the other side of the island. She looked back at Edward, "we strike. Head for the manor."

They darted into the foliage. "Now we wait." Edward murmured.

Adelaida nodded. "And now we wait."

Before long the Black Serpent crew started shouting profanities and throwing objects at the guards around the plantation. While they created the distraction, Edward and Adelaida rushed the manor.

They unsheathed their swords and pistols and sprinted up the hill. They shot at the guards in their way. "Adelaida, duck!" Edward yelled. She dived into a side roll as he shot a brute rubbing at them.

"Gracias, Edward." Adelaida breathed, standing up.

Taking off left towards the manor, they shouted at the slaves to head for the Black Serpent. More British officers stood in a line blocking their way. In the middle of them was the old Spaniard Pedro Soto.

"Debo alabar por la distracción. Casi te hubieras me deje engañar ... pero no del todo. (I must praise you for the distraction. You nearly had me fooled... but not completely.)" Soto said. He looked at Adelaida and pointed at her. "Usted sería Adelaida Guerrero Huerta, esposa del maestro asesino Ah Tabai. Walpole nos dijo todo sobre ti. (You would be Adelaida Guerrero Huerta, wife of the assassin mentor Ah Tabai. Walpole told us all about you.)"

Adelaida shifted uncomfortably. Edward glanced at her. "What's he talking about?"

Soto then pointed at Edward. "Aunque no sé su amigo. (Though I do not know your friend.)"

"Habla Inglés, Soto. (Speak English, Soto.)" Adelaida said. "Este idiota ni idea a mi lado no se puede entender una palabra de lo que estamos diciendo. (This clueless twat beside me can't understand a word we're saying.)"

Soto laughed. "English it is."

Adelaida rolled her eyes and tightened her grip on her sword. "Are you going to return the Assassins or are we going to do this the hard way?" Soto clicked his fingers and his men stepped forward. She cocked her head with a smile, "La manera difícil que es. (The hard way it is.)"

When the guards broke into a run, Adelaida tossed a smoke bomb at them. "Edward! Get them. I have Soto!" She shouting through the smoke, sprinting after Soto.

Edward cut down the officers in the dissipating smoke. A brute blocked an attack from Edward and punched him in the nose. "Is that the best you've got?" The brute jeered.

Edward rolled his eyes and kicked the man in the stomach. He thrust his hidden blade up in the brute's skull. He dropped to the floor like a stone. Edward sprinted off to find Adelaida.

Sebastián nearly collided with Edward, neither looking where they were going. "Kenway! We have the Assassins!"

"Get ready to set sail, quartermaster. I'll find Adelaida." Edward told him. Sebastián nodded and hurried towards the Black Serpent.

Edward found Adelaida cornered by a troop of British soldiers. Soto's dead body lay at her feet. Her eyes flickered to Edward. In a flash, her sword was in the stomach of an officer and the British charged her. The pirate captain charged into the fray, swords clashed and bullets flew. Edward sliced anyone who wasn't a pirate and Adelaida swiftly killed them too. Edward shot the last man in the stomach and he dropped to the floor.

"Well fought, Kenway." Adelaida said, looking around at the dead.

"Same to you, Adelaida." They looked around at each other. "Your quartermaster said they found the Assassins."

"Good. I'll take them back to Tulum after we drop you off at Nassau."

"Thank you."

"Not a problem. It's what I promised Adéwalé." Edward chuckled a little at that. "Come on, my ship awaits."

The duo headed back to where the Black Serpent was docked. They sauntered down the incline. "Die!" A man screamed. They looked up. He jumped from the rocks and landed on Adelaida. Edward was quick to shoot him. The assailant's back arched his back as the shot went through him; he tumbled onto the ground.

Adelaida stared at him with wide eyes and back to Edward. She rubbed her neck. "Are you alright?" Edward quickly asked.

"Sí," they locked forearms and Edward pulled her to her feet, "just a little scratch, that's all." Adelaida rubbed the blood away. "Gracias, Edward. If you had shot a second later, I'd be dead."

"I couldn't have you dead. I don't want to give your man another reason to see me killed."

Adelaida laughed, "Ah Tabai doesn't want to see you killed." She paused and wore a concerned expression, "At least... not to my knowledge." Edward's eyes widened Adelaida slapped his arm with a smile. "Come on, Edward. Let's get you to Nassau."

Edward glanced at her and asked slowly, "So... Friends?"

A paused followed as Adelaida thought. She nodded. "Sí, friends."
