It was two weeks before David was needed again. David loved the Caribbean. Its sceneries were beautiful and David did not have to fulfil his duties as an Assassin as often as in America. However, this time when David met Ah Tabai, he had a tinge of fear in his voice.
"Yes, Mentor? I heard you called me here," David lowered his head as a sign of respect as he entered. Ah Tabai replied, "Indeed I called for you. I will be quick about this. A Brig of the British Navy has been lingering near the island for three days already. Cuba is under Spanish rule, yet a British Brig lingers near one of its islands. The Spanish must also be rather suspicious."
"I sent scouts to the ship and discovered that the ship's first mate is Tony Langley, son of the half-brother of the late Templar Woodes Rogers's wife. Sadly, he is also a Templar, like Woodes Rogers. Go to our ally Miguel's ship, he will tell you of the plan."
David made his way to Miguel's merchant vessel. Two other Assassins, Kylie and Abraham, were also on the merchant vessel. Miguel greeted David warmly and explained to David, "You and the two Assassins will pretend to be my workers. As we pass by the British Navy ship, I will offer some goods to the ship. You three Assassins will bring some empty crates over, and one of you will seize the opportunity to kill Tony Langley."
They nodded in reply and left Inagua half an hour later. Miguel's ship was directly beside the British Brig. "Hello there! I'm the Captain of this ship. I have been told to deliver a few crates to this ship?" Miguel lied.
The Captain and Tony came out, discussing with each other before agreeing. "Alright, bring your goods across. And be quick with it!" David, Kylie and Abraham brought the empty crates to the hold of the British ship while Tony supervised them. Abraham and David made sure there was no one else in the hold, then signalled to Kylie.
Kylie Ashford ejected her Hidden Blade and tapped Tony in the shoulder. Tony turned around and Kylie drove her Hidden Blade into his chest. Kylie pulled the Hidden Blade out and kept it. "Let's go," said Kylie as she walked out of the hold.
"Thank you, Captain! On the Navy's behalf, I thank you!" the British Captain waved as Miguel's merchant vessel sailed off. Where is the first mate? the Captain realised as he walked back to the Captain's quarters. Forget it, he's probably drinking somewhere, the Captain dismissed the thought.
Two hours later, a midshipman burst into the Captain's quarters. "Captain, the first mate's been murdered in the hold!" The Captain was shocked. "Must be that darn lads from the Spanish ship! We have to return to our port now! Sail ho!"
The three Assassins reported back to Ah Tabai. "I hope that is the last of the British Navy. Ships will probably return in a month or two to investigate the area. But for now, our location is kept safe."
