"Sit down."
Jack threw Lucy in a chair and told the others to follow. Wyatt and Rufus followed. Wyatt looked over at Lucy who was rubbing her.
Only with his eyes, did he ask if she was alright. She replied with a nod and small smile.
"Who sent you? What do you want?" Ruby asked the lot.
"We want nothing from you. We were following someone and when we turned the corner he vanished and you appeared."
The man laughed. "Do you think I am that stupid? My men warned me about this. People trying to stick their nose in my business." He shook his head with mock disapproval and tsking his tongue.
He turned to the man that was in the room with them. "Tie them up. Take Blondie's weapon. I don't want them to interfere with tonight's plans."
The man did as told. He tied Rufus up first, then Lucy. But Wyatt wasn't going to give up that easily. He didn't hand his gun over.
"You will comply," Ruby stepped towards Lucy. He looked down at the game gun in his hand and placed it against her head. "Or you'll never see her again."
"You wouldn't," Wyatt narrowed his eyes and clenched his jaw.
Jean cocked the gun. And just like that Wyatt was weaponless and tied to a chair.
"Now-"
"Sir," Another man entered. "A mean is here to see you. Says he was sent to help you tonight."
Jack furrowed his brow. "Send him in."
Lucy's eyes went wide, though she shouldn't have been surprised.
Garcia Flynn walked through the doors. "Oh," He said with amusement in his voice. "I'll wait."
"Thank you." Jack turned to the trio. "Now... You never told me who you are?"
"I'm Wyatt, that's Lucy, and that's Rufus."
Ruby nodded. "Who sent you?"
"No one sent us! Not to you." Lucy said.
Flynn stood and watched. He had to say this was amusing, just a wee bit.
"Was it... Rittenhouse?"
Everyone froze except Jack and his man.
"Rittenhouse?" Flynn muttered and Lucy breathed.
"Ah, ringing some bells?"
"We don't know what Rittenhouse is." Lucy answered honestly. Rufus was shaking his head wishing he could somehow change the subject.
"What? Oh love," The sick man traced her face with the gun. Lucy jerked away. Wyatt was on edge, Rufus was concerned and sick and Flynn... Well, he's respectful just as Wyatt is, so his stomach turned too. "Not what, sweetie, a who."
"Who?" Lucy looked past Jack and at Flynn who wore the same surprised expression.
"Yes. So if it wasn't Rittenhouse-"
Flynn stepped forward and knocked the man out with the but off his gun. Then shot the other men in the room. He turned to the door and locked it so no one else would enter.
"Flynn!"
"He was taking to long." Flynn shrugged.
Flynn untied the trio and used the ropes to tie Jack Ruby up.
"What are your plans for him?" Wyatt asks.
"Interrogate him. Rough him up, probably."
"Why?" Rufus asks.
"This man wasn't just a member of Rittenhouse. He was an extreme activist. He was sent to kill Oswald because the latter was caught! Oswald killed John Kennedy because Rittenhouse told him to. They couldn't risk being discovered."
"'They'? But he said a who..."
"Well, then I guess he had a lot of explaining to do."
