Chapter 3

She arrived at her cubicle in haste. Immediately, she put the untraceable earpiece in.

"Lucy, are you there?" she asked as soon as she turned it on.

"Talia?!" she heard in response.

"Oh, thank God, you are alright." Talia said, "I just got a grilling from Vidic. You don't know how grateful I am that Gavin trained me. Even though they were worst six months of my fucking life."

"What did he ask you?" Lucy enquired.

"It was mainly about you, about what you had told me about your work, if I knew that you were an Assassin" she replied. "I did what Gavin taught me I twisted the truth and kept my answers vague. I don't think he suspects anything, he let me go when I declared my devotion to the Templar cause."

"That's good, I don't want you getting hurt because you're protecting us." Lucy said "So are going to start Ariana's journey soon in the Animus?"

"Yeah soon. Speaking of Animus', how's Desmond? Is he going to start Ezio's journey soon?" she wondered.

"He's fine, Rebecca's setting up Animus two-point-oh and Shaun's setting up the data collection. Before we eft Abstergo, Desmond witnessed Ezio's birth." She informed Talia.

"Oh my God, he is so lucky"

"Why, because it's his descendant or because it's Ezio?"

"Both, but mainly because it's Ezio" she could tell Lucy was rolling her eyes. "Come on, he's sexy as hell and it totally helps that he's Italian."

"I didn't say anything" Lucy responded, "but isn't that weird your descendant Ariana was married to him."

"What?!" Talia heard through the earpiece, "wait so Talia and I are related?" She heard Desmond ask Lucy.

"Distantly" Lucy replied.

"Look Luce, I need to go. Could you tell Desmond everything he needs to know and tell him that most of everything to do with Ezio and Ariana are explained through the Animus." Talia told Lucy, "tell Rebecca and Shaun that I look forward to meeting them one day."

"I'll talk to you soon Talia" as soon as that was said, Talia switched the earpiece off.

She moved and laid down onto the Animus and plugged herself in.
