ALEX POV

I DIDN'T mean to let them die.

I DIDN'T.

I Didn't..

I didn't..

" Alex!" Jefferson yelled, pounding on my chest. I coughed out blood, along with.. water?

I looked around, It was a blur, what happened? " Are you okay Alex?" Jefferson bit his lip, not believing he said that.

" Where are we?" I didn't know where we were, honestly.

Thomas looked around, his white shirt was muddy and some of his and skin was too. My shirt was damp with mud and pond water? My hair was out of it's ponytail, stuck to my skin like glue. Slowly peeling off. Thomas turned back to me and responded, " We're in a jungle."

" Can you contact Washington? " I asked skipping about five heartbeats every two seconds.

" I'm not sure, " Thomas got up, " But we need shelter. "

I grabbed his hand, Thomas flushing.

CLASH*

I stared around me. " Did you hear that?"

Thomas nodded.

" This way!" I yelled, tugging on Thomas out of fear, a alligator missing his neck.

I ran, slowly but surely getting lifted off the ground by Thomas. I flushed red, but then realized this wasn't a good time.

" Behind that log! " I called out.

Thomas ducked down behind the log, we blended in perfectly due to the mud. We waited for a few moments, a awkward silence disturbing me.

" Did Washington send people to search for us? " I asked, nervously.

" If he didn't, I need extra pay Darlin'! " I grinned at what he said.

I got up and started to walk along the trees, Thomas didn't notice at first. When he did, he raced after me since I was halfway to a clearing. I stopped. It was a beautiful sight. Thomas didn't say anything, just looked around us of course.

I took a step forward.

" It's beautiful! " I looked up at a big tree, smiling ear to ear.

" I can clearly see that, Alexander. " Thomas said ever so rudely.

" You can clearly see my foot up your as—"

" ALEX! What would 'Daddy' think?" he said sarcastically, snorting.

"Lets try to contact Daddy now. " He suggested to me.

"Fine!" I knew he was right, he had a smug look on his face when he knew he was.

[JEFFERSON POV]

This man is going to get us killed! I know it. Why couldn't he shut up for once? Stupid orphan. I was too lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice Alex walking off towards a clearing.

It wasn't until he was halfway there I noticed, quickly getting up and running at his direction. So arrogant, he leaves his partner for dead like this? I caught up with him to see beauty everywhere.

"It's beautiful!" Alexander said, I felt myself heat up for some reason. What reason?

" I can clearly see that, Alexander. " I said ignoring how.. Wrong I felt?

"You can clearly see my foot up your as—"

" Alex! What would 'Daddy' think? " I did a smug smirk, knowing I was right.

" Lets call daddy now." I suggested, letting out a snort or two, his face was pathetic!

" Fine!" The teenager pouted like a toddler, just realizing my smug smirk plastered onto my face by now.

I felt my ear chip, grateful it still worked. I spoke into it, " Code 335? Plane crash, stranded? " I repeated it about 4 times then got a response. I heard a worried Lafayette on the other end,

" Mon Amie! Comment est-ce arrive? Venaient!" Lafayette said still shocked that Washington's best spys seemed to fail their mission already.

[The French was – My friend! How did this happen? We're coming!]

Me and Alexander layer down against the tree. I turned to see him asleep, laying in the sun like a cat. It was.. cute? Before I had time to make a smug joke, I felt my eyes fluttering, finally locking shut.

[Woman] Poor him, what happened to his leg?

[Man] Don't know, but he looks like a freak and a coward!

[GUN FIRE]

[A.B] Glad we had this talk, now.. Thomas, do you yield?

Help me walk at least, right buddy?

Please?

Don't leave me!
