Gustave and Erik walked the dark passage with a small lantern in hand. Erik was the only one of them that knew a safe he way through the passage and Gustave needed the help. He could sense something off with his father; Gustave had known him long enough to know when something was wrong. "Father?" Gustave said as they walked.

"What?" He replied.

"Is something the matter?" Gustave asked, hesitantly.

Erik chuckled a little brushing off the question. "You're worse than your mother sometimes when it comes to questions."

Gustave stepped in front of Erik stopping them in the middle of the passage. "Father, please. I know when something's wrong. Now what is it?"

Erik grew a little irritated and the visible side of his face showed it too. "I just want to get this over with and get back." Erik said then moved around Gustave.

"Eliza can handle herself." Then something struck him and he scrunched his face up a little. "Or is it Evan your worried about?" Erik stopped. "And I don't mean dying?"

Erik gave a heavy sigh and turned around to look at Gustave. Erik shrugged and said "Can you blame me?"

Gustave shook his head and scoffed "I don't believe this."

"Gustave," Erik started.

"He almost died to keep Eliza safe and you hidden! And you honestly still don't trust him?!" Gustave yelled exasperated. Erik just glared at Gustave. "But wait, I'm asking the man that decided he was going to trust a murderer!"

"Don't test me Gustave! That is enough!" Erik yelled. "I have my reasons for not trusting him. And Darius is a mistake I regret dearly. Not a day goes by that I don't think of how everything would be if I had never taken him in. Second to leaving your mother, that is the biggest mistake of my life." Erik said calmly.

Gustave just shook his head. "No. That was the biggest mistake of your life. Saying that leaving mother was a mistake is the same as saying Eliza was a mistake. I'll tell you what your second biggest mistake was and still is. It's not trusting Evan. After everything he has done for us in the short time we've known him, you still doubt his loyalty? If you can't trust Eliza's judgment, then trust mine."

"You don't know his father," Erik said trying to explain.

"No but I know him." Gustave said cutting him off. He just glared at his father and spoke, choosing his word carefully. "Eliza loves him, and won't leave without him. Think about that for awhile." Gustave walked past his father down the tunnel until he reached a fork in the passage. "Which way to the Harem?"

Erik motioned to the left and Gustave walked down until he came to a well-hidden door. Cautiously he cracked it open. When he saw that the cost was clear he opened it a little wider. When he saw a dark haired girl sitting by herself bored, he once again checked if it was clear.

"Emmy." He whispered, praying she could hear him. "Emmy." He called a little louder. He saw her furrow her brow and start to look around. "Emmy." He said in almost a normal tone. She looked toward the door then did a double take as she spotted him.

'What the hell?' she mouthed. Gustave gave a little smirk and motioned her to come over. She huffed and looked around to make sure she wasn't being watched, then walked over and in. "What the hell Gustave?!" She said pushing him as the door shut.

"Do you know what's going on?" He asked.

"Are you talking about Evan?" Gustave nodded. "Yes." She crossed her arms. "The guards came in and said none of us were to go anywhere near his chambers. They said it was the Shah's orders. What do you know that I don't?"

Gustave looked to his father then Emmy went wide eyed. "Evan's been hiding my father. The Shah found out and Evan's been punished for not telling where he was hidden."

Emmy just stared then she finally said. "You've been hiding right under his nose." She said then grew a smile. "It's brilliant." Then laughed a little. She looked to Gustave going a little more serious. "How can I help?"

"Wait, you're actually going to help?" Erik said surprised.

"Anything to get back at that bastard." Emmy said then looked back at Gustave.

"How long can we steal you away?"

"However long you need me. I'll make up some excuse if they ask questions when I come back." She replied. Gustave smiled at her and nodded.

Erik and Gustave took Emmy to Evan's room. Eliza hadn't left his side, and when they entered through the secret door Eliza looked up at them immediately. "Eliza this is Emmy." Gustave said as Emmy smiled at her then looked at Evan.

"He's got himself into some deep shit this time hasn't he?" Gustave nodded. "There's a bag in the back bedroom closet. It's brown get it and bring it to me." Gustave nodded and ran to the bedroom. Emmy walked over to the bed and looked at the wounds.

"Is he going to be alright?" Eliza asked.

Emmy looked at her almost surprised she spoke. Then she nodded. "He will be when I'm finished." Gustave returned with the small bag and set it on the bedside table. Emmy opened it and pulled out a syringe and started rummaging through the contents; mainly bottles of medicine and other drugs until she found what she was looking for. "This will help with the pain." Emmy said as she filled the syringe and injected it. Eliza saw Evan flinch and make a face of pain.

"Hang in there Evan." Emmy whispered.

As time went by Emmy had disinfected and stitched Evan's back. Emmy knew she had to get back to the Harem before they noticed she was missing, but she wanted to check on Eliza first.

Eliza stood on the balcony in her room watching the sunset. "Hey." Emmy said.

Eliza glanced at her. "Hey."

"Evan is going to be fine. I wanted to tell you that one myself." Emmy said.

"Thank you." Eliza replied. Emmy started to leave but then she heard Eliza speak again. "Wait. Please." Emmy turned and looked at her. Eliza now faced Emmy and stood tall with determination in her eyes. "I need your help."

"With what?" Emmy asked a little confused.

"I'm going to kill the Shah."
