This chapter is dedicated to "tim harp" for his review that made my day :) Thank you for it !

" Tofah ! Tofah ! " yelled a merchant next to his cart full of apples. In arabic, tofah, meant "Apple".

A hooded man approached the merchant and talked :

- Akam ?

- Seta leera !

In english, the hooded man had asked for the price, which the merchant replied to, six syrian pounds. The hooded man handed the money, and grabbed several apples. He placed his bag on the floor and loaded it with the fruits. He then placed it back on his back and started walking in the opposite direction. He then placed one finger on his ear and said :

- Eagle Alpha, here. Status check.

- Eagle two, currently approaching the tourist group on your left.

"Eagle Alpha" turned to his left and saw a tourist group, which was following a guide. Another hooded person immediatly blended with the said group and kept walking.

- Eagle three, I'm currently overlooking the area from the top. I'm at your west, Alpha.

- Roger that, Three.

Alpha then continued walking towards the tourist group and quickly adressed a signal in the air with his two fingers. After a couple of seconds, a couple of hooded persons blended in with other groups and followed up. They all headed to the top of the area. Over there, they could see, further ahead, a forteress. That said forteress was a tourist attraction. The forteress was a medieval castle, an old one.

- Alpha here, I want two eagles to deal with security personel.

Two hooded men seperated from the groups and headed towards one security guard. They seemed to be talking to him. They told him that something was going on in an alley, the guard then went to investigate, and before he could realize what was going on, he was knocked out and tied up in the alley. They then hid the man inside a garbage bag.

- Good job.

Alpha then entered the forteress with the tourists. He walked towards the entrance and entered the castle. It was all there. Old, but very significant. Everything he had seen in the Animus, was almost identical.

- Alpha here, everyone regroup at the entrance.

Desmond, Rebecca and the others then appeared at the entrance next to James. James looked at Desmond and noded. Desmond then led the group towards a wall. He then touched it with his hand and said :

- I'm sure it's the one. It is.

- Alright everyone. Me and Desmond are going to head inside. We'll retrieve the "P.O.E" and get the hell out. C4.

A hooded man opened his bag and handed a hand-crafted explosive device. He sticked it to the wall and they all went for cover. "BANG". That's what was heard. A tourist guide immediatly rushed and saw the wall blown up.

" WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ? " he spoke in english.

James and Desmond immediatly ran inside and freeran towards the entrance of the Vault. The door was open. Yes, it was. It was since centuries. They walked towards the dark alley with flashlights and entered what looked like a library. They advanced towards the end of the alley until they saw a chair. On that chair, was a skeleton. The skeleton of a legendary assassin. One of the best, the mightiest. Desmond and James stopped and looked at each other. James walked forward and said calmly :

" My respects... Mentor Altaïr. "

Desmond nodded and they both walked towards the indicated location. James saw a little square on the wall, and touched it, trying to see how to open it. Immediatly, a bright yellow light illuminated the library. Desmond had his eyes wide open looking at James... not knowing what to say. James was surprised at what had happenned. The square in the wall then opened, revealing a golden apple. James pulled out a cloth and envelopped it inside. He then placed it inside his bag. Desmond looked at him and said slowly :

- You... you... can do it... too ?

- What do you mean ? Nevermind, we got no time. The others are already struggling, let's go.

James ran towards the exit and jumped out inside the wall. The other Assassins were already shooting at the security guards. James shouted :

- RETREAT ! To the cars !

Everyone obeyed and they managed to get their way blocked by a police blocade.

- Crap... Wait... GET UPSTAIRS !

James rushed upstairs and started running towards an ancient desk in which behind was a large broken window. Desmond understood what he was trying to do. As Altaïr had done before, they all jumped out of the same window and escaped the fortress. They rushed towards the village and entered their vehicles. Rebecca switched the engine of their car on, and pressed the accelerator. James pulled out his high frequency radio and talked :

- This is Eagle Alpha, Fish Delta, do you copy ?

- Ten-two, Eagle, go ahead.

- We've retrieved the package. I repeat we've retrieved the package. Make sure to have our transport ready. We won't have much time at the airport. Did you copy that ? Over.

- Copy, Eagle. Wilco. Fish Delta out.

James smiles as he put away the radio. He looked at Rebecca and said :

" We've made it. We finally made it. After so many years... We did it. Everything is working. "

But every good thing has to end, we all know that.

Thanks everyone, for the nice reviews I've been receiving, I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I've enjoyed writing it ! Please stay tuned for the next chapter !
