I remembered, from the game, that the Assassin's Bureaus were always in the dead-center of the city. They also had their symbol on the roof next to it. So I just had to find a ladder to the roof tops, look towards the middle of the city, and find the symbol! Easy-peazy, lemon squeeze-y? It certainly sounded so.
I located a ladder on the side of a nearby building. I climbed up it and stood up on a roof. It was getting kind-of dark, so I had to hurry. After a few minutes, I spot a dark mark next to some sort of lattice roof-thingy. It had to be it. If it wasn't, I swear, I would punt a puppy or something. I was tired, sore and hungry. I turned towards the direction of the bureau and took off.
After an hour, I arrived next to the bureau entrance. Luckily, I didn't have to jump across the roof tops because I always found boards or something to cross over. Sure, I had to take some detours, but it was better than breaking a bone or something. It was really late, so the assassins inside were probably sleeping. I didn't want to wake them up. Maybe I could sneak in and hide. I was desperate. It was freezing outside. And those pillows looked very enticing right now. I slowly climbed down the wall, I didn't want to mess up. Eventually, I almost made it to the bottom. There was only a foot or two left. I put my foot on the faucet of the fountain when I slipped. I fell into the water. I was now all wet and dripping. I freaked out. I looked around frantically. I saw a heap of white where an assassin was sleeping.
I immediately froze and held my breath. He rolled over, but he still appeared to be asleep. Thank you, dear god! I crept closer to him, cautiously. I made sure he was asleep before looking at his face. I couldn't see it very well at this angle, so I leaned over him. There was a familiar shape to his jaw and cheek bones, and he had a scar on his smooth lips. It was Altair. He was more handsome than the game version. I thought he was another assassin at first, but apparently not. I guess he was on a solo mission, because I didn't see anybody else in the entrance room.
I felt a droplet of water run down my face, all the way to my bottom lip when it fell. Darn it! I had totally forgotten about my bath in the fountain. Time seemed to slow as I watched the droplet fall down, landing right on the corner of Altair's mouth.
His eyes shot open.
