Karl Marx's Memories
Chapter 10: Cat & Mouse
Three weeks have pass, Evie was spending time with Henry, Andy was relaxing with his sister and Alexandria was running around with Jacob as the arrive at the train station and then heard an argument, "Has a crime been committed, sir?" the officer asks the man, "Yes, a crime against Humanity, I demand you live up to your responsibilities!" the man shouts, Alexandria looks at Jacob as they were confused, "You're a fine one to talk about responsibility. You look like a bloody tramp!" the officers states and Alexandria walks to the two.
"Listen to me, I have been order to keep your rallies off the street." the officers tells him, "No, you must listen to me! The people of this city are in dire need of your assistance!" he tells him, but the officer walks off. Alexandria walks over to the man and places her hand on his shoulder and he looks at her, as the couple were minding own business, but he stop them, "You are Alexandria Dorian and Jacob Frye, are you not?" he asks them. Alexandria looks at him, surprise that he even knew her, Jacob places his hand on her arm and pulls her back into his chest.
"We are at a disadvantage, sir…" Alexandria states, "Karl Marx. Much like you. I am an activist of sorts." he introduce himself. "You got the look of a man that wants something." Jacob states as he place his chin on top of Alexandria's head and wraps his arms around her and held her tightly in his arms. And she places her hand on his arm "Indeed, you've done more for London's citizens lately then any endeavor has accomplished in a decade. But those citizens were already well provided for. I challenge you both and your fellow comrades to help those who REALLY need your assistance. The working people." he informs them.
Alexandria was intrigue, pulling her hand away and crosses her arms. "A very interesting challenge. We accept." she tells him and Jacob moves his chin off her head and looks at her, "Shouldn't we at least talk about things fir…" he states as she leans up griping his coat, making him lean down and whispers something in his ear. He pulls back, staring at her, she pulls back and smirks at him, her gloved finger touching her lips, he sighs and then looks at Karl. "Sod it, we accept." Jacob tells him. Karl smiles and walks off, Alexandria moves out of Jacob's arms and follows and Jacob follows after her. "I am organizing a discreet meeting with some like-mind friends to discuss trades unions." Karl informs them.
They then start to walk away from the train tracks, "Alas, the police seem to have notice my activities. They've struck to me like flies on Scheisse." he adds on. The two assassins looks at each other as they step outside the night sky was out, along with the rain, Alexandria pulls on her hood, keeping herself dry. "In any case, I need you to help me get to that meet without the interference of the police." he informs them, and they walk into a back alley. Alexandria uses her eagle vision and saw two on the spies. She cracks her neck and walks of ahead.
One was in her sight, she walks up to him casually, grips the back of his coat, drags him off to the side into the shadows. Then she shoves him up against the wall, pulls out her kuni and slits his throat, the man gasp and Alexandria pulls over to the shadows and lowers him to the ground, she then walks out of the shadows and back to them. Karl was impress as Jacob just smirks and they walk along and Jacob moves up to the next spy, Alexandria eyes the barrels above the spy, then pulls Jacob back and he looks at her, she turns his look to the barrels above the spy.
He catches on and throws a kuni at the ropes and the barrels drop on top of the spy and the three make there way through the alley. Alexandria then shot up to the roof and Jacob followed after her, they make it over to the other side and saw two spies following Karl, Alexandria reaches into the back end and pulls out two kunis, wines them back and throws them right at both the back of the spies heads. Jacob smirks to himself and they quickly followed Karl and jumps down to the ground, "Tonight, sundown, the usual place." Karl tells a merchant, he nods at him, "I'll be there." the merchant tells him and Karl turns away.
The two assassins followed after him, "You know, I had similar problems with the police in Paris. Well Paris and Brussets. And also perhaps Cologne." he tells them and Alexandria giggles silently to herself. "Our next worthy ally awaits us in a nearby pub! Onward!" he tells them and the two just followed after him. "O doubt, police already have agents stationed within. I'll wait here until the coast is clear." he tells them, "Wie Sie wünschen, mein guter Herr." Alexandria tells him, the man smiles at her and bows his head a little at her and the two walk off, "You know German?" Jacob whispers to her.
She just kept walking, "I'm fluent in all languages, Jacob. That's one of the benefits of being a child of Eden." she answers him and walks on, he watches her go, "God, this woman turns me on." he mumbles to himself and quickly catches up with her, they ran down the side walk and up to the bar. They look inside seeing a spy with a policeman, they lean back. "We need to cause a fight." Alexandria tells him, Jacob nods at her. Then saw a few Blighters, then look over at the other corner on the other side of the street and saw a few blades and Rooks they two look at each other and walk over to them, "Are you boys ready for some fun?" Alexandria asks them, they look at her and smirk. Then the group walks over to the street and Jacob raises his fist, "Let them have it." he tells them and they take off and fought with the Blighters.
Drawing a lot of attention to themselves, also the policeman and the spy. Then Jacob took his chance, walks up behind the spy and stabs in right in the back. He grunts as she moves away from him and he fell to the ground, then the police came at her, but she twirls silting his throat with her hidden blade and walks to the pub. Jacob felt really turn on with she goes all badass, he keeps his cool and they followed Karl into the pub, then Karl walks up to the bartender. "The usual location. One hour." Karl informs him. "Right you are, Mr. Marx ah." the bartender tells him and then Mark walks out of the pub.
Alexandria stop and looks at the man that was frighten of her, she smiles at him and places her hand on his shoulder, making him stiffen, "Try and get a job and stop drowning in alcohol, your wife wouldn't what this for you." she tells him, he looks at her in surprise and she pulls her hand away and walks with Jacob, who places his arm on her shoulders and they followed after Marx, "I believe our work here is complete. Come, let's slip away and get to the meeting." Marx informs them, "I do appreciate your assistance in this matter. Only when workers are able to assemble freely and in strength will we be able to achieve the reforms we most assuredly deserve. Might I trouble you to stay near by until the meaning s over? I fear we may yet meet with some mischief." he warns them.
Jacob sighs and Alexandria elbows him in the ribs, he looks at her and hiss quietly, then rubs his ribs. They then walk into the alley and stop at the end, Elizabeth peers out, Jacob looks over her as they saw someone was meeting with the police, "I told you, Marx will be here! Hear it from the man's own lips! Now about my payment." the man said, and Alexandria scoffs in disgust. "You'll get your thirty peaces, chum, don't you worry." the officer tells him. Then Marx turns back to them, "It seems the movement is ever doomed to be betrayed from within. Will you fetch the gentlemen back here? I would look him in the eye and ask him why he went back on his brethren." Marx informs them, and the two moved in the shadows.
They followed the group through the alley, then Jacob throw a smoke bomb at them, making them go blind and he went up and grabs a hold of the man as Alexandria knocks out the police men. "Wait! You're making a big mistake!" The sellout tells him as Jacob twisted his arm behind his back. "I don't require a reason to end your life, my lady on the other hand…" Jacob states as they walk into the street and they both look over at Alexandria. "I'm the only thing keeping you alive." Jacob tells him and they walks down the street, keeping the attention low and then the arrive at a park and Alexandria took the liberty and shove the man forward, them Marx walks down and face the man. "Simon. My friend. What possessed you to do this? Has the party not taken care of you?" Marx asks him.
Simon lowers his head in shame, "The gov'nor at the mill say any man what joins a Union, he'll be put out of work come sunup. How long will the party feed my family for?" Simon questions him, "Acts of a desperate man." Alexandria whispers to Jacob who nods in agreement, Marx sighs. "If we do not stand together, we are lost. My heart is broken, Simon. Please go." Marx tells him, Simon nods and left them. "I thank you my friends. I hope you will continue to aid the struggles when the opportunity presents itself." Marx tells them, Alexandria looks at him, and bows her head.
Marx bows to them and left them, the two stood there, sigh then Jacob places his arm on her shoulder and slowly lead her away, she looks up at him in confusion. "Jacob?" she asks him as they walk into an empty alleyway. He then suddenly pushes her up against a wall, she gasps at contact, but it was short-lived as Jacob places his lips roughly against hers. Then their tongues battled for dominance, Alexandria combs her fingers through his hair as he lifts her off the ground and she wraps her legs tightly around him. "Jacob… not in a place… like this." Alexandria gasp between kisses as he rams himself against her, "Your fault… you were being deadly tonight…" he mutters as he attacks her neck.
Making her gasp, "Then the train… please…" she mumbles at him. "Fine." he growls against her neck and pulls her legs off his hips and swung her over his shoulder making a dash for a train.

The arrive back at the train and into the car that was Jacob's bedroom, he then sets Elizabeth down in the floor and they both work at their buckles, kicking off their shoes, pulling their gauntlets off, coats, gloves, shirts, pants and trousers.
Then Alexandria jumps up, Jacob catches her as she wraps her legs around his waist and then presses her lips hungrily against his as he equally do the same to hers and they collapse onto the bed.
