Chapter 25: Diving Mrs. Disraeli
Tomorrow came much faster than expected, it was close to Night as they Meet up with Mrs. Disraeli in the park. "Madam." Jacob states, "Mr. Frye, Ms. Dorian." she smiles at them, "Ready to take the air? Devil's Acre should just be coming alive." Jacob tells her, she smiles sadly at them, "I'm afraid I must cancel our engagement." she tells them, Alexandria cross her arms and raise an eyebrow. Mrs. Disraeli stood up and next to them. "The lawn is carrying scandal-hunting journalists, and I simply cannot be seen in the company so people so…" she tries to find the right word to not offend them.
"We'll see them off, you follow along when it's clear." Jacob tells her and he and Alexandria start to walk off. "Yes, yes. Be gentle, won't you?" she calls out and they stop and look at her. "The Press are notoriously touchy about any violence to their person." she warns them, picking up her bag with her small dog inside. "Hahaha. We'll barely ruffle a hair on their heads." Jacob states and Alexandria scratches the dog's head, he barks happily at her. "Shh, Desmond." she tells her and they both walk off. -Desmond… Desmond, why dos that name sound familiar to me?- Alexandria asks herself. She shrugs it off.
They then walks out to the street and Alexandria jumps on to the carriage and acted normal, as Jacob made a little get the reports attention as she lies about Jacob being someone famous. "You better run Frye or they'll tear you to shreds." Alexandria tells him, he smirks at her and takes of running, the reports followed after him, Alexandria then jumps down as Mrs. Disraeli walks out and moments later, Jacob came back with the reporters gone. "Nicely done, young man. Dizzy ought keep you on a deal with the Liberals. Now a drive is an order, I think." she tells him as Alexandria offers her inside the carriage and closes the door behind her.
Then she and Jacob jump on the front seat, Jacob takes the rein and started the horse at a slow trot. They went long well until more journalists came after them. Alexandria sighs, turns around and glares at them, her eyes turning golden and the Journalists stop in their pursuit and left them along. Alexandria's eyes turn back to their original state and she turns back around. "What did you do?" Jacob asks her, she looks at them, "Erase their memory of ever seeing Mrs. Disraeli this night, they'll think that saw some other girl being escorted home." she informs him, he just smirks at him and leans back, letting her energy restore itself. Jacob did his best not to look at Alexandria's creamy tan neck that was alluring him to it, he just breaths and they arrive at Devil's Acre.
Jacob stops the carriage and they both jump down and Alexandria opens the door and helps Mrs. Disraeli step out of the carriage. They then walk down the step in to the poor district. "Oh, what a rough place! Give me your arm, Ms. Dorian, lets see what the Devil's Acre has to offer." she tells him, Alexandria nods at her and offered her arm, Mrs. Disraeli wraps her arm around hers and Jacob took the lead and they started to walk. Then Desmond started to bark. "Is your dog quite alright?" Jacob asks her, "Oh Desmond's fine, he's just not over fond of strangers. Or cats." she informs them. Jacob looks at Alexandria how shrugs at him and they continued on.
Then they stop as Jacob held up his fist, "Stay here, I'll clear the way ahead." Jacob tells them, "Will do." Alexandria nods at him, he nods at her, "Be careful." she adds, he smiles at her and took off. Mrs. Disraeli looks at Alexandria and smiles at her, "Mr. Frye is a strong man." she states and the young Assassin looks at her, "Well of course he is, how else is he going to defend himself." Alexandria tells her, but Mrs. Disraeli looks at her with a sly smile. "That is not what I mean, Ms. Dorian." she tells her. Alexandria looks at her then her face was now burning deep scarlet red. Mrs. Disraeli just giggles, "I knew it, you fancy Mr. Frye." she tells her, "What… n-n-no I don't." Alexandria denies, but Mrs. Disraeli just giggles. "Lie to yourself all you want, your face tells me everything." she states, Alexandria looks away.
"Why don't you tell him how you feel?" she asks her, Alexandria calms down and looks at her, "Because I don't know how I feel towards him yet, I'm still confused." Alexandria answers her, Mrs. Disraeli sighs at her, then Jacob returns and they walks again, showing her Devil's Acre and they pass a coupe making up, both Jacob and Alexandria blush at that, and Mrs. Disraeli tease them about it, and they both pull on their hoods to cover their scarlet faces. And they got away from the area, both letting out a breath of relief. And they pass a stand with man selling meat. Alexandria refuses to answer Mrs. Disraeli questions and they arrive to their destination.
"Ah, here we are, the old One Tun Pub. Best beer in Devil's Acre." Jacob states and the three take seat and beer was deliver to them and they cheered. "So this is a 'pint' is it? Remarkable." Mrs. Disraeli giggles, Alexandria smiles and drinks her pint, then a man walks up to them, "Nice doggy." he stated and takes Desmond. Making Mrs. Disraeli, Jacob and Alexander jump to their feet. "Desmond!" Mrs. Disraeli shouts and the two take of after him and thanks to their eagle vision, the found the man's footprints trail and they heard Desmond barking very loudly.
They followed the tail and sound and found the man trying to get Desmond to be quiet. He spots them and took a hold of the bag with the dog in it. "Good boy, Desmond. Hand the mutt over." Jacob orders him. Neither of them saw that Alexandria right behind the man, "You'll change your tone when me and my friends come find you!" he snaps and tosses Desmond back to Jacob and Alexandria wraps her arm around his neck and pulls him into a head lock. "Then come and find me, I will kill every last one, you want to know why?" she asks him. Jacob like the dark cold seductive look in her eyes. "We have no reason to be afraid of a whore like you." he snaps at her, she chuckles dark as Jacob clutch his fist. "I am no whore, sir. I am the Lady in Blue." she said as she whispers into his ear. The man stiffens in fear and struggles out of her grip, but she lets him go.
"Demon, foul temptress, evil witch!" he spats out names and ran off. Alexandria shook her head and walks up to Jacob as he tries to restrain him jumping at her and he looks down at Desmond. "Now then, Desmond, to get you back to your mistress…" he states as realization hits the both of them. "Whom we just entirely left unattended in one of London's most dangerous puds." he states and they both ran back to save Mrs. Disraeli from the other thugs.

But when they arrive back, that saw thugs gathered around and they were… listening to Mrs. Disraeli speak to one of them. "Well if you never told your father how you felt about him, how was he suppose to know?" she asks the one sitting in front of her. "I've never thought of it that way. I suppose deep down we all just want to be loved." he states, Alexandria nods. "Amen." she mumbles and Jacob shoves her shoulder a bit, she just smiles at him.
"Just so. Here, have a sweetie." she handed him a sweet and he takes it. Jacob places the bag on the table, getting their attention. "Oh Desmond and Mr. Frye and Ms. Dorian! I'd like you to meet… sorry I didn't quite catch your man." she tells the man in front of them. "John the Tosser." he introduce himself. "Charmed." Jacob states as Alexandria bows her head at him, "I think we'd better get you home." Jacob tells Mrs. Disraeli. She smiles at them. "Right you are Mr. Frye. Come along Desmond!" she states and stood up, taking a hold of the bag with Desmond inside. And they walk off, and Alexandria bows to the men and they walks off.

Morning started to come as Mrs. Disraeli walks into her carriage and Alexandria closes the door and just as they were going to jump up front and drive, an annoying voice came to their ear. "Well, well, well… if it isn't the dog walker and his whore." the man states, Jacob clutches his fist at the man that he gave that name to Alexandria. As she pulls out her gun. "Now lets not do something, we'll regret." Jacob warns them. The two went to run at them, but Alexandria pulls out her gun and fires at them and they drop dead on the ground. They man looks at her in fear. "If I were you, I would hurry along now and don't bother to come after us again." she warns him, he gulps down his spit and ran off.
Alexandria smirks, then blow the smoke from the barrel, then holster her gun and walk up to the front and pulls herself up, Jacob shook off his shock and follows after her. He jumps up as well and they hurry off. "Well, I must thank you for a most energetic and enlightening evening, Mr. Frye, Ms. Dorian." Mrs. Disraeli tells them. "No, thank you Madam. Perhaps now you might tell us about the man in the Hussar's uniform?" Jacob asks her. "Quite right. Lord Cardigan is the gentleman you seek. Tiresome man. Always blathering about his military adventures." she informs him. "Do you know where we might find him for a… private conversation?" Alexandria asks her.
"I do indeed. He's in town now, as it happens campaigning against the corrupted Patrice Bill. Perhaps you could catch him in the Palace of Westminister. Do be careful—the government can ill afford another scandal." she tells them. "I assure you, we will be very discreet." Jacob informs her and they arrive at her house. Jacob stop the carriage and they both jump down and Jacob open the door for her. "Your stop, Madam." he states. "My 'stop.' How delightful, thank you." she tells him and Alexandria helps her out of the carriage.
"Thank you for a splendid evening, Mr. Frye, Ms. Dorian. I shall be sure to speak highly of the both of you to Dizzy. Oh, yes." she states walks into her house. Jacob closes the door and Alexandria leans against the carriage. "Strange woman." she mumbles and Jacob leans next to her. "Took the words right out of my mouth." he states, Alexandria giggles. He smiles a little, love hearing her angelic vice, he blushes a little and scratches his cheek.
