Chapter 35
Hana was a little upset that she wouldn't be joining Altair in the serious part of the mission. Before their interruption with Robert De Sable in the market, they had overheard some vital information regarding their Target, and Altair had gone to complete the final part of their assignment. The assassination.
Hana had no doubt in the Master Assassin's abilities, although she had butterflies in the pit of her stomach the moment he had left that morning. The Dai tended to her wound whilst Altair had gone, and he was impressed by how well it was healing after the painful ordeal the other day.
"I don't think it'll be much longer," He began, wiping his hands as the female pulled her over shirt back on. "Before it'll be healed."
"Thank you," She smiled up at him, "I appreciate what you've done to help me."
"And I appreciate you keeping Altair out of trouble." He said, "I overheard you that evening, when you returned from the market. You did the right thing, Hana. I will be writing a letter to Al Mualim to inform him of the deed you have done."
She said nothing because Altair had just dropped through the ceiling and she was worried that she would scream with excitement if she dare even open her mouth. About two seconds later, the city bells began to toll overhead, and the female was happy that the Master Assassin had made it back to the Bureau safely before he was in danger of being spotted on his return.
He had blood splattered across his chest, and she was relieved when he moved with ease – signifying that the blood was not his own. The Master Assassin stepped into the room, pulling a stained plume out from the pocket on his belt, leaving it to rest upon the counter beside the Dai.
"It is done." He said, "Inform Al Mualim that Hana and I will leave Acre to return home in the morning."
The Dai nodded, "Well done, Altair."
