When Jacob and Evie returned to the room, they saw that Marco de Vita had managed to free himself of his restraints. Upon seeing the two of them, Marco's eyes widened.
"Oh shit," Marco uttered. He decided to fight them instead of giving up.
Marco ran towards them, shooting his fist towards Evie when he was close enough. Evie took his fist, forcing it open and twisting his fingers. Marco howled in agony as Evie threw him to the floor.
Jacob smiled as he shook his head at Marco. "That was a sad attempt you made there," he commented. "Now, let's continue, shall we?"
"I remember I told you to stay put before leaving the room," Jacob said. "You obviously didn't follow my instructions."
Before Marco could struggle, Jacob grabbed him and threw him across the room. Marco's body slammed hard against the wall. As Jacob walked towards him, Marco raised his hands in defence.
"Stop, stop please! I'll tell you what you want!" Marco finally conceded. "Marcello owns a jewellery store in West End, it's…it's called De Vita Jewellery!"
Evie asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm very sure of it!" Marco said.
"Wonderful," said Jacob as he drew his revolver. "Now we can kill you."
Seconds later the two of them left the room, leaving behind the now-dead Marco de Vita.
The next morning, Jacob and Evie made their way to De Vita Jewellery in West End. Clara from the Seven Bells had told them that De Vita Jewellery was one of the most popular jewellery shops in the area, so they were prepared for civilians to be in the shop.
Entering the jewellery shop, Jacob and Evie looked around the area. There were three civilians in the shop, a young well-dressed woman with a handbag, a man in his fifties with a walking stick and a middle-aged man wearing a trench coat.
Jacob walked up to the cashier while Evie walked around the shop. Jacob asked, "May I know where the owner is?"
The cashier answered, "The owner will not meet with strangers."
"I know who the owner is," Jacob said, pretending to be annoyed. "Mister Marcello de Vita, an Italian merchant that is very secretive."
"He will be here soon," the cashier said.
At that moment, the cashier pulled a revolver out, aiming it at Jacob. The woman produced a revolver from her handbag, training it on Evie. A blade ejected from the man's walking stick, while the middle-aged man pulled a dagger out from his trench coat.
"The Assassins have finally caught up," said the cashier. "You two must be Jacob and Evie Frye. Master de Vita has been expecting you for a while now. He's upstairs, waiting for you. The three of them here are one of the best Templar assassins in the country, and they'll be following you, so I suggest not to do anything foolish."
Marcello was wearing a black robe, with the Templar insignia on the front of the robe. His hood was down, and he was not the least surprised to see Jacob and Evie. Marcello was a man in his thirties, with a stocky build. As the two of them were forced to sit, Marcello took a cigar out and lit it.
"So you are the troublemakers," Marcello scanned the two Assassins. "I have to say, you two are quite remarkable."
Jacob sneered. "Your cousin is dead."
His facial expression did not change. "I knew it would happen sooner or later anyway. I had already mentally prepared myself for that. It is saddening to lose such an important member of the British Rite of the Templar Order, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made."
"Just like you, so the Assassins can advance," Jacob spat.
The middle-aged man with the dagger retaliated, punching Jacob hard in the jaw. Jacob took the man's fist, twisting his fingers.
"You bastard!" the man said.
Marcello flashed a look of annoyance. "Calm down, damn it. Let's try to settle this in a civilised manner. Like grown men…and women."
"The only way we'll settle this is with your death," Evie said.
Marcello shrugged. "Then we'll have to settle this the hard way."
At that moment, the woman fired a shot from her revolver. The bullet hit the wall. At that moment they heard loud footsteps below.
Seconds later five policemen rushed into the room, led by a Police Captain armed with a rifle.
"What took you so long! These two over here were trying to kill me! Your pays would be gone if not for me!" Marcello said with a faked look of horror.
The woman sobbed. "Those monsters, forced us all here and tried to kill us!"
"Arrest the two of them!" ordered the Police Captain.
Jacob and Evie released their Hidden Blades, but before they could even move, they were shot by the policemen. They were helpless as they were arrested and handcuffed.
As the policemen brought the two of them out of the room, Marcello smirked and shook his head at them.
"You'll pay for this one day, you bastard," Jacob uttered menacingly.
