Desmond awoke after what he felt was like hours. I saw Lucy was still sleeping. Even though he wanted to push her away, he couldn't help but be happy to feel her touch. The back door of the van opened.

"We're here." William said.

"What do you want me to do about her?" Desmond asked.

"Think you can carry her?"

"Sure. But do you have any blindfolds? I don't want her to see anything that could lead the Templars to us."

"I do."

Desmond took the blindfold and wrapped it around Lucy's eyes. He then carried her bridal style. Lucy was starting to wake up.

"Desmond?"

"I'm here."

"Where are we?"

"I don't know."

While Desmond was carry her downstairs towards a room, Lucy realized that she had never heard Desmond's heartbeat before. She found it very comforting and soothing. Once they reached the room Desmond placed her down on a bed and took off her blindfold.

"You're going to be staying in here until we know what to do with you."

Desmond started to walk away when Lucy grabbed his arm.

"Please wait, Desmond."

He sighed heavily but stayed.

"I just…"

"Please…don't say anything else right now Lucy. I need to be alone right now."

"I understand."

Desmond shut the door and left Lucy. He looked out through the window and saw her crying in bed. He felt bad but he didn't want to be near her right now. He actually felt worse. He still felt like maybe he should have killed her and be spared of this pain. But he then thought if he had killed her he would have felt worse because he did care about her. His father approached him and touch his shoulder.

"How are you feeling son?"

"How do you think Dad? The girl that I care about would I have betrayed us all."

"It's not just about her betraying all of us is it?"

"No. It isn't."

"You want to take some time off and let me handle her?"

"That would be great Dad. Call me if you need me."

Desmond headed upstairs looking for a beer or wine. He just needed something to drown his sorrows in. Shaun watched as his friend found a bottle of wine and started to pour into a glass.

"Have room for one more mate?"

"Always. I have room for two more."

"Good because I need a drink too."

"Where'd you come from Rebecca?"

"Looking for same thing as you guys."

Rebecca and Shaun grabbed chairs and sat next to Desmond. He poured wine into all 3 glasses.

"What should we toast to?"

"How about to being a step ahead of the Templars?"

"Sounds good to me."

"I'll drink to that."

They drank deep. Hoping that they would get drunk enough to forget this awful day. But they knew that wouldn't happen.

One day later, William decided to try and get Lucy to talk. He took her out of her room and took her to another room. He sat on one side of the table and she sat on the other. When she sat down, Will could see that she must have cried herself to sleep. Because she had dark circles around her eyes and they looked very red.

"I think you know why you're here aren't you?"

"Yes."

"All right. Let's get down to business. First I want to why. Why would you betray us?"

"No offense Will but you weren't a big help. I though you abandoned me. Warren showed me that."

"Let's get one thing perfectly clear. I never abandon my own. Whatever Warren told you wasn't true."

"Oh so you never abandoned me, like you abandoned your son?"

Will started to get and was about ready to slap her but he stopped himself.

"I never abandoned my son. He left on his own free will. And yes, I spent every day looking for him. And it wasn't because I wanted to make him into an Assassin. It so I could apologize. I'll admit it, I did a shitty job as a father, but I would have given anything to get my boy back."

"You really care about him don't you?"

"Yes. Which is I am more hurt that you hurt my son than I am at the fact that you have betrayed us. Desmond thought very highly of you. He didn't tell me much but I can tell that he liked you. Maybe even loved you. And you betrayed his trust."

Lucy looked like she was about to cry again. Will felt bad that he made her cry but at the same time, he had to be honest and she betrayed his trust. He gave her a cup of water in a plastic cup.

"No glass?"

"Sorry. But from what I've learned all these years, you can never be too careful. One Assassin made the mistake of giving a Templar a glass of water and he ended up with a slit throat."

"Yikes."

"Yeah."

"Will, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Is it true what Desmond said?"

"About what?"

"About that during the early years of the Great Purge, the Templars murdered children?"

"Yes. I'm afraid it's true."

"Oh God…."

"I thought you knew."

She began to start shivering.

"We've talked enough. Let's get you back inside your room."

He escorted her back to her room. Once she was inside, he looked behind her.

"Damn me for a fool."

He handed her a photo.

"What's this?"

"A reminder. Just so you remember that there is someone who cared about you. And probably still does."

She took the photo and saw that it was a picture of her and Desmond. She was asleep in Desmond's arms.

"Where did you get this?"

"Rebecca took a picture of you two while you were sleeping."

"I know it doesn't mean a lot coming from me, but thank you."

Will shut the door behind him and saw her staring at the picture. He heard her say to herself:

"What have I done?"
