It was a few days later before they saw Commissioner Edmund Henderson again. Jacob, Evie and Commissioner Henderson met in a small café. Commissioner Henderson was dressed in civilian clothing, so as not to attract attention to himself.
"I've gathered that there is going to be a Templar gathering on Saturday, at an apartment in Westminster. I have a feeling some of my corrupt men will be present. I want you two to go there and kill as many scumbags as possible. You'll be helping yourselves and the world."
Commissioner Henderson finished his coffee before walking out of the café. Jacob and Evie sat around for a while longer before leaving as well.
On Saturday, Jacob and Evie, leading a group of ten Rooks, went over to the location. The two of them posted four guards outside the apartment, two on the main entrance and another two at the back entrance. Jacob and Evie then entered the building, with the remaining six Rooks.
The meeting was located at the second floor of the building, in Apartment 7. Jacob eavesdropped to ensure that Commissioner Henderson had gotten the correct location.
"Are all of us here?" one voice asked.
A second voice replied, "Sir Wallace Callaghan and Logan Blimes will not be coming. The former has been killed and the latter arrested. The work of the Assassins."
"The Assassins are seriously becoming a pain in the side," a third voice said. "We need to take action before they deal serious damage."
"Especially the Fryes, those rotten leaders of the Rooks. They destroyed an entire shipment of weapons that Master de Vita had ordered," a fifth voice added.
Finally, the sixth voice, who sounded authoritative and senior, told everyone in the room, "Not so loud! We don't want to attract attention, or even eavesdroppers."
At that moment, Jacob gestured for everyone to draw their weapons. He checked as quietly as possible if the door was unlocked. It was locked.
Seeing that the door was locked, Evie whispered for the most muscular Rook to break the door down. Stepping backwards all the way to the wall opposite, the Rook charged at the door, bringing it down. The Rook scrambled out of the way as Jacob and Evie rushed into the apartment, with the Rooks outside ensuring that no one escaped.
Charging at the first Templar, Jacob's fist, reinforced with brass knuckles, rammed him hard in the gut before he could even draw his weapon. The Templar, dressed in upper-middle class clothing, doubled up in pain and Jacob finished him with a second blow to his cheek.
Evie released her Hidden Blade, strolling up to the second Templar. She grabbed him by the neck to hold him in place as she drove the Hidden Blade into his intestines. Pulling the Hidden Blade out, Evie threw the Templar down onto the floor.
There was a Templar dressed in police uniform in the apartment, and he drew his revolver. Jacob saw the revolver being unholstered and had no choice but to kill him. Raising his hand up in the policeman's direction, Jacob fired a lethal poison dart at him. Before the policeman could fire his revolver he was struggling to remain on his feet. A few moments later the policeman was dead.
A fourth Templar, in all the confusion, had managed to get out of the apartment. But he did not know there were Rooks standing outside. The nearest Rook took the Templar's arm as he ran and pulled hard. As the Templar was pulled to the Rook, he punched the Templar in the head, knocking him out.
Two Templars remained, one of whom was dressed in police uniform. Jacob walked up to the policeman while Evie walked up to the other Templar. Evie, deciding to kill the Templar, slashed him across his throat, killing him quickly.
"When Master de Vita receives news of this, you guys are so screwed," said the Templar.
Jacob punched the Templar's stomach with his brass knuckles. The Templar was controlling his urge to vomit, and Jacob moved him away just in case. After ensuring that the Templar would not vomit, Jacob pulled him back.
"Your name and rank," Jacob ordered.
The Templar said, "Police Sergeant Nick Hatkins."
Jacob pushed the Templar until his back was against the wall, before kicking one of Nick's thighs. "Are you sure that's your name?"
"Ye…Yes," Nick was beginning to stutter.
"Well, Nick. You have the privilege of coming along with us!" Jacob then knocked Nick out.
Dragging Nick's body out of the apartment, Jacob tossed his body over to one of the Rooks.
Evie ordered the Rooks, "Bring all the unconscious ones back. Only two are dead. One with a dart in him and the other with his throat slashed."
The Rooks went into the building and dragged the unconscious bodies out. Jacob gave them orders to bring the bodies to a nearby apartment which he had bought and tie them up.
Once the Rooks left, Jacob and Evie returned into the apartment building and shut the door. They started searching the apartment, to see if there were any clues about Templar activities.
But before they could start, they heard a knock on the door. Instinctively, Jacob dragged the two bodies into a cupboard in the bedroom and stuffed them in there. Shutting the cupboard, Jacob kept his weapons and pulled up his hood.
Evie had opened the door to find three policemen at the door, all armed with rifles. "How may I help you, officers?" Evie asked.
The first policeman informed, "There were reports of a fight between a group of five or so taking place in this apartment."
"There's only my brother and I living in this apartment. No way a fight on that scale could have taken place here."
The three policemen entered the apartment, checking the area. "There're bloodstains around the place," the second policeman noted. "Why?"
Jacob lied, "When we bought this apartment it was already there. And about five hours ago a friend accidentally injured himself. We had to bring him to hospital, as he was spilling blood over the damn floor."
"So no fight took place around here?" the third officer wanted to confirm, as he peeked into the bedroom.
"None of that, officers," Evie answered.
The three policemen then left the apartment. "Sorry to have disturbed you all," the first policeman said before shutting the door.
Once the policemen had left the building, Evie locked the door before they began their investigation. Soon Jacob found something of interest. It was a letter addressed to one of the unconscious Templars, sent by Marcello de Vita. The letter was rather short, and it went:
The Assassins, especially the Frye siblings, are weakening us by the day. We have to counterattack immediately. Meet me seven days from now at the London Zoo, near the quagga enclosure, in the late morning. Burn this letter before our meeting and make sure you are not followed.
Jacob crumpled the piece of paper before tearing it into shreds. He did the math and discovered that the meeting day was in two days time. At least now Jacob knew what he was going to do on that day.
