False Accusation

"C'mon! Can't I poison a guard in peace?" Ezio growled to himself as he ran from the trio of guards chasing him. He dove into the nearby waterway and swam under the bridge, hiding.

"I can't see him anymore!" The Venetian guards yelled, searching. When they gave up, they quit throwing stones aimlessly into the water and walked away. Ezio climbed out of the water and walked up to the trio of guards again, guarding the codex page. He stopped and turned, seeing someone in a red cape running away.

"Help! Guards!"

Ezio turned and began running after the courier. The courier ran up a set of boxes, climbing up the building.

"You're not supposed to be up here!" An archer began running after Ezio and the courier, the assassin unsure which one the archer was chasing. The courier jumped across to another building, gripping the edge of a rail and pulling himself up. Another archer noticed the courier and began chasing after him, confirming to Ezio that the archers were after the courier. Ezio tried to outrun the archers, wanting the money of the courier himself. The assassin attempted to tackle the courier, but was shoved out of the way by a third archer.

"Damn it!" Ezio growled, and saw the third archer pull out his sword. "No! Don't kill…"

Blood splattered in the air as the courier fell from the archway between buildings. The archers walked away, ignoring Ezio as he stared at the dead body.

"Shit…" The assassin jumped to the ground and looked at the assassin. He shrugged, "Oh well…" and proceeded to loot the dead courier.

"Hey!" A spear bearing guard ran up to Ezio.

"C'mon! I didn't even kill him! You Templar bastardi did!" Ezio proceeded to jump into a nearby waterway.
