A month passes and Jacob and Alexandria meet up with Dickens as the other three rest again.
The two meet Dickens at warehouse, he turns to them, "You both seem tired, my young friends. Everything alright?" he asks them, "No rest for the wicked, Charlie." Jacob tells him, "And I am wicked." Alexandria adds in and Jacob lightly bumps her shoulder, she giggles. And they followed Dickens, "Today's Ghost Club investigation involves a carriage! It's said to be covered with a gold leaf, dazzling passersby when the sun shines! Naturally, it's rumored to be haunted. Now lets see if we can find it!" he states, the two look at each other and walk up to the carriage. "I presume that this was once used to carry the mail." Jacob states as he examines it.
They then walk up to a make shift bed, they both yawn, Jacob stretches and Alexandria rubs her eye, "That actually looks remarkably comfortable." he states and the two laid in in each others arms, letting sleep over take them.

A moment later, they both walk up and Jacob stood up and then helps Alexandria to her feet, she stretches, lifting her arms to the sky and they continued on with the investigation, they both saw a letter on the ground, "What the devil?" Jacob exclaims and kneels down, Alexandria kneels down as well and picks up the letter from the ground and then reads it aloud:
My dearest Frye,
How I long to be in your arms again. Ever since our last meeting I have been racked with loneliness. Your absence drives me to despair, I implore you; return to me at once, I long to see you and hear your voice. Do not delay, I await your arrival and offer myself to you completely.
Your very own Elizabeth.
She finishes reading it then tore the letter in half, Jacob flinches a little bit. She then takes a deep breath, "I'm fine, I'm fine." she mumbles to herself and left go of the letter, "You sure about that?" Jacob questions her, "Yes, ever sure." she answer. "It's not because your jealous, are you?" he smirks at her.
She looks at him, surprise at his words and, then looks away as her face started to turn red, "Whatever." she mumbles, Jacob just smiles at her. But then they heard someone calling out, so the both look over. "Help! Please, someone, help me!" a woman calls out from her carriage, they saw a few men making off with the carriage. They stood up and ran over the carriage across the street, they both hop up and Jacob took the reins and cracks them, making the horses cantor.
He followed after the man and making sharp turns and going down back streets and intersections. "Please someone help me! I have been tore from my home and family by these villains!" the woman inside shouts out, then Alexandria jumps on top of the carriage roof as Jacob was right next to the carriage, "This will not work, sir! You may kidnap me but you will never have me!" the woman shouts out and Alexandria jumps over, sat down next to the man and snaps his neck, then kicks him off the carriage and took a hold of the reins, then Jacob climbs onto the room and jumps over as well and sat down next to Alexandria. "Who's there? Are you a friend?" the woman calls out.
"Yes madam, don't worry, you're safe." Jacob tells her as Alexandria continues on. "Oh you save me. That wretch would of force me to marry him within the hour. I must return home." she tells him and Alexandria went down the bridge, took a right, going down the street then took another right and down the next bridge and stop in the middle. "Oh! His accomplices will surely murder you! Quickly. We haven't a moment to loose." she says to them. "Right you are, Miss." Alexandria states, then cracks the reins and the horse turns around and takes off. Oh, who is up there with you?" the woman calls out. "It's milady, Miss Alexandria Dorian." Jacob calls out and shot at the men following them. "We've lost them. Thank you both, you have been a great help. Will you please take me home?" she asks them both. Then Alexandria went straight one.
"I owe you my thanks, you have to a great deal of trouble for someone you don't even know! What is your name?" she asks him, "Jacob Frye, miss." he answers her, then the ride back was silent and they arrive back at the woman's house. "You have preserved my honor and saved my life. I am Elizabeth. Won't you climb down here and sit beside me, so I can see your faces?" she asks them, Alexandria perks up at her name and climbs down first Jacob follows after her.
They both step into the carriage and found that it was empty, "Miss? Where are you?" Jacob calls out and Alexandria notices a letter on the seat, "What's this?" Alexandria mumbles and took it them read aloud:
My dearest Mama and Papa,
By the time you read this, I shall likely be dead. I cannot marry the Marquis, for I love another. I must escape this brutal tyrant, but I know that if I do so, he will hunt me down. I am so afraid.
I love you. Goodbye
Your daughter, Elizabeth.

Jacob flutter his eyes open and found himself back at the warehouse, he then looks down and saw that Alexandria grunts awake and saw that she was in the same position when they took a nap. He pulls himself up and she followed him, and there Dickens stood in front of the two. "You look as though if you're just about to collapse! What on Earth has happened?" he asks them both, the two look at each other and back at him. "You wouldn't believe us of we told you." Jacob tells him. Dickens nods at them and walks off, Alexandria sighs and Jacob pulls her into his arms. She blushes and places her hand on top of his.
