As well as my Evie & Jacob one shots, I am also writing a modern Assassin's creed series

Previously in this series: After being framed for a crime, Jacob left the Order and the Assassin village. Five year later, the Young Assassin team meet Vex and enter into an agreement with him and his club.

Please enjoy, and read and review :)

….

"No!" yelled Amanda, who worked as Agnes's assistant, taking a step forward as Vex tensed up, "No, there is no chance that any of the bar staff are responsible for this!"

Vex shook his head, "Amanda please. Only the bar staff, who come into my office at the end of the day to give me the tills, know where I place the money. Where's Agnes?"

"Her son was sick, so I said I would cover for her whilst she went to take care of him."

"What's happening?"

Amanda and Vex turned around to see the five bartenders who were on duty that night, stride into the room.

"I'm sorry Amanda…" Kenzi sighed, "…. But we're getting to the bottom of this. Now."

Amanda looked as though she was going to argue, but she just scowled. "Well at least let me have a word with them first. They're good friends, and this is going to hit them hard. If they find out that one of their friends betrayed us- "

"- That won't be necessary." Interrupted Vex as he strode over to the six bartenders, "They're grownups, they can handle this. You five. Sit down."

As they went to sit down, Connor and Evie entered the room, making their way to the back of the room in order to make sure that nothing untoward would happen.

Vex nodded at them, indicating that he was accepting their presence, before turning his attention back to the bar staff. "We have a traitor amongst us… or more specifically, you have a traitor amongst you six, if we include Amanda."

The five all glanced at each other in dismay, clearly not believing that one of their friends could betray them.

Vex turned his attention to Giulio, a nineteen-year-old Italian teen. "I need to know what you did during your shift."

There was silence for a few moments, before Giulio shrugged, "I-I don't know…. What I usually do I-I suppose."

"Things like what?"

Giulio's hand were trembling slightly under the pressure, "Mi dispiace Sir…. I'm a little nervous. You're both my bosses!"

"The way I see it…" sighed Kenzi, striding over, "… if you tell us the truth, you don't need to be worried about anything."

"Giulio's telling the truth!" exclaimed Melissa, a brunette who was working at the bar in order to pay her way through school, "He's one of the best cocktail makers in this team. He very rarely leaves the cocktail area except for breaks."

"Is that right?" asked Vex, "You were making cocktails almost all night?"

"Si signore"

"Did you enter my office at any point during the night?"

"No signore."

Vex and Kenzi stared at him for a couple of minutes, before Vex nodded. "I believe you. Thank you, Giulio."

They then turned their attention to another bar tender, "Candice? Where were you?"

"I was waitressing Boss…" she sighed, "… we had a 'leaving' party book a table for the night, and they were ordering food most of the night."

"So, you were doing that all night?" asked Kenzi, "Was anyone helping?"

"It was me and Melissa, Boss."

Melissa nodded in agreement, "I was working on the bar for a bit, but the party really were ordering lots of food, so I decided to help. The bar was quiet enough."

"Can anyone else confirm this?"

"Ummmm, the party was from Burrows and Hicks, so I think they'd be able to confirm it."

Vex glanced at Kenzi, and she nodded. "I'll give them a call." She confirmed.

"Let me talk to them!" Amanda begged as the two went to the next bar tender.

"It's okay Amanda…" Robert stated, "…. I have nothing to hide." He held up a bandaged hand, "I went to see Terry to get my hand wrapped up. I was cleaning up some broken glass and I got cut. Terry will confirm that she stitched me up."

Gently taking a hold of the hand, Vex examined it before nodding. "Alright…. Go to the hospital later ad get it checked out properly."

Kenzi and Vex then turned to Gabriel. Gabriel was new to the team, having been fired from his old job.

"Gabriel? Where were you?"

"I was helping to serve food…."

Melissa shot to her feet, "No you weren't!" she yelled, suddenly remembering that her bosses were there as she flushed, "I-I mean- "

"If you have something to say Melissa…" sighed Vex, "…. Then say it."

Giving Gabriel an apologetic smile, Melissa explained herself. "Gabe only helped in the beginning. We didn't really see him for much of the evening."

"Where were you Gabriel?"

Gabriel shrugged, "I was just going through the crowd, making sure everyone was okay."

"… You know I'm going to need a better answer than that."

There was a tense silence, before Gabriel sighed. "I was near the South-East exit…. Didn't want anyone to see me making this." He pulled a bead bracelet out of his pocket.

Kenzi frowned, "What is it?"

Gabriel flushed slightly, "It's for… it's for Candice."

"For me?"

Nodding at Candice, Gabriel flushed, "You said you hadn't every had one of these before…. So, I decided to make one for you."

As Gabriel handed the bracelet over, Candice beamed at him. "Wow! I can't believe you made this for me! Thank you!"

The rest of the team seemed to agree, giving Gabriel approving looks as Candice leaned over and kissed the other teen on the cheek.

Amanda however, wasn't as impressed. "So you lied?" she scolded, "Gabriel, that's not good. Lying about where you were only tells me that you might have lied about other things. How do we know that you didn't make that bracelet earlier? Maybe you were doing something else tonight?"

"What?!" Gabriel shot to his feet, "H-hang on! I really was making the bracelet!"

"Calm down Gabriel…" scolded Amanda, gesturing to the two assassins at the back of the room, "… and don't say anything else. I think we need to get law enforcement involved. If you were so desperate for money, then you could have asked…. Now all you have is monopoly money."

Gabriel scowled, knocking Amanda's hand away from him, "Maybe you should talk Amanda? Tell them where you went! I was near the exit closest to the main officer wasn't i? I saw you go in!"

"Gabriel. I have been patient but- "

"- I saw Melissa and Candice waitressing. I saw Giulio bartending and I saw Robert going to Terry… I also saw you go into the head office!"

"I'm Agnes's assistant. Sometimes I have to go into the head office."

"Then why were you looking so nervous before going in?!"

There was silence, before Amanda shook her head. "He's obviously feeling cornered…" she said to Vex.

However, when she glanced over at Vex and Kenzi, her face went slightly pale when she saw that the pair were frowning at her. "Amanda…" began Vex, "… What did you mean 'now all you have is monopoly money'… how did you know that only monopoly money was stolen?"
