Chapter 2:

At the other side of the city, in the St George Roma Hotel bar to be precise, holiday goers were relaxing and enjoying a few drinks with the elaborate stain glass window above them alighting the venue with mixtures of golden yellows, calming blues and robust reds. A young man sat in the far corner of the bar looking pleased with himself and was merrily checking out the surroundings, namely the girls. His scarf, jacket and bag sat in a heap on the seat next to him. As he leant back to zone out he soon picked his head back up when he saw a youthful woman enter and sit at the bar. The man was content just watching her dab off the sweat on her brow as his eyes scanned her. Her hair was loose and a luxurious chocolate brown that reached her shoulders. Her white tank top and light blue skinny jeans flattered her figure immensely.

"If that top was any tighter she might pop out" thought the chilled man in the corner with a cheeky smile leaning back again but still watching the girl. The blissful man was awoken from his own world with the thud of a magazine on the table. With one look up at the person who dropped the magazine, the relaxed man turned his gaze back to the girl at the bar.

"Ok I agree she's pretty Nate but we have bigger issues." Nate looked back at the other man with a look of intrigue on his face. "You need to read this." He pushed the book across the table so Nate could reach it. As he began to read it Nate's face changed from that of delight to that of anger.

"What the hell Sully!" he began to read the article concerning him, getting louder as he read on. "Drake achieves impossible. Nathan Drake has not only found a lost journal from Marco Polo's private collection but has also helped the police arrest the feared gang L'oscurità Del Destino single handed!"

Nate looked Sully in the eyes and realised that Sully genuinely thought he had done this.

"Sully I'm not stupid enough to go anywhere near that gang…at least not on my own." Nate was now speaking so loud that everyone in the bar had turned to face him. Nate noticed this and lowered his voice. "Sully I've been here the entire time. Ask the barman."

Only one person continued to watch the adventurers out of the corner of her eye and as the more irate Nate grew, the wider her grin became. Sully's face had now also changed. His experienced face appeared more worried.

"So we have some nut job dressing up as you and…doing a better job than you" finished Sully with a smile. If looks could kill Victor Sullivan would now be six foot under.

As Nate was now silently seething reading over the article again, Sully had taken up the job of checking out the girl who was no longer watching them. The bar had no sooner returned back to its relaxed state when three armed goons entered the hotel bar. With Sully and Nate being no strangers to danger, and mercenaries, they naturally assumed the goons were here for them. Trying to act casually Nate gathered his things but as he did so, the leader of mercs grabbed the arm of the girl and dragged her clean of her chair. Nate, being the man he is, immediately tried to help but was halted in his tracks as one of the subordinates turned and pointed his assault rifle directly at his face. The girl pulled her bag to her side, got onto her feet and casually raised her hands above her head with no flicker of fright but continued to look at the floor. Clearly she was also no stranger to danger.

"That's it beautiful, raise your hands." said the first mercenary eyeing up the girl. "Now where's the book?" She made no attempt to respond which angered the leader of the goons. "C'mon Drake we know you have it!"

At this Nate re-entered his anger state.

"Err hello I'm Nathan Drake!" he realised quickly after shouting this at the top of his voice that all attention would go to him and that it was a really bad idea. Now it was Sully's turn to shoot a look that could kill. Whilst the goons argued amongst themselves the girl had, once again, a grin on her face and whispered "Found you".

The mercs were still arguing about which one was the Drake that they were after with the first one saying that it was Nate, the second adamant that it was the girl and the third backing him by saying that the name Nathan Drake could be a pseudonym. At this point someone else had entered and, with an extremely brief look of shock, Kurtis Trent reacted to the situation by saying "What've you done now?"

As soon he had finished the sentence the girl turned her head ever so slightly so she could get a glimpse of Kurtis whilst, once again, Nate began protesting…loudly. Turning back to face the leader of the mercenaries she simply said "We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine." her smile widening knowing that she had successfully annoyed the first mercenary.

By this point the first goon had lost all of the little patience that he had had and reached out for the girls arm again but she was too quick for him. She twisted his arm around forcing him to drop the gun. The situation escalated quickly. Sully bear hugged the second merc giving Nate a chance to run for the dropped assault rifle. As he sprinted for the gun the merc managed to get an arm free enabling him to clothesline Nate as he ran by. Kurtis tackled the third mercenary to the floor and began to fight him as the girl swiftly and elegantly knocked out the leader. All of the other people in the bar took this chance to flee the scene.

With the leader unconscious Nate had expected the girl to run but she didn't. She marched straight over the goon who had Kurtis pinned down and pulled him off with great force. Kurtis was bleeding from his eyebrow and took the brief moment to catch his breath. Sully and Nate were now wrestling with the other mercenary as the girl with surprising agility jumped at the third mercenary and used a hurriconrana to drag him to the floor.

She then went to help Sully and Nate with the second merc, however the third goon was not unconscious and, out of desperation, pulled the pin on a grenade throwing it into the centre of the room. At the sound of the grenade tinging on the tilled floor a mad rush followed to escape the blast.

Kurtis ran to Sully and Nate dragging them towards to back door as the girl slid across the floor kicking the third merc in the head as she went as well as picking up her bag and headed for the front door. Whether she got there or not Sully, Nate and Kurtis never found out as within seconds of them escaping there was a deafening bang and smoke surrounded them.
