The dreamers of the day are dangerous men for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible, This I did.
-T.E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia"
"Everyone remember the plan", Nate asked, he, Ella, and Sully all walking down the London Streets at night
"We got it, kid", Sully said, tossing his cigar away
"I get a feeling that something bad is gonna happen, just be careful", Ella asked
"Don't worry, hopefully everything goes as planned", Nate said, opening the bar door, "after you, Mrs. Drake",
"Thank you, Mr. Drake", Ella said, she, Sully and Nate walking inside, all eyes were on the three as the bartender motioned the three upstairs with his head; as the two gentleman and lady walked upstairs, someone got up and followed them up; not long after, the three arrived
"Hands up", a guy ordered, the three putting their hands up as the guy patted them down, beginning with Nate
"Enjoying yourself, pal", Nate asked
"Yeah, you're a comedian", the guy said, moving down the line
"Nice warm welcome", Sully stated, as the guy finished
"They're all clean", the guy said
"My apologies, one can't be too careful", a man in a suit said
"Im guessing you're Talbot", Sully asked
"Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. and Mrs. Drake", Talbot said
"That's right", Nate said with unease
"Do you have it", Talbot asked
"Let's see the money first", Sully stated
"Cutter", Talbot said, Cutter came over to the pool table with a briefcase, which Talbot opened up, showing the three
"It's all there, now let's see it", Talbot stated as Nate took Drake's ring off his neck and showed it to Talbot
"I'll need to authenticate it", Talbot said
"Of course", Nate replied, handing over the ring, as Talbot looked it over, while Nate, Ella, and Sully looked at the money
"Silver... 16th century... Elizabethan design... Inscribed with Sir Francis Drake's motto... well, it appears to be genuine", Talbot stated
"Well, of course it's genuine", Sully said
"If I may ask, how did you three come into this", Talbot asked
"Does it matter", Sully asked as well
"My client will be very pleased", Talbot said
"Hold on a minute", Ella called out, all eyes on her
"Sully, this is fake", Nate stated, handing a wad of cash to Sully
"I assure you, Mr. Drake, Mrs. Drake...", Talbot began
"Whoa, whoa, you are right, this is phony as a three-dollar bill", Sully stated, throwing the wad of cash back to Nate, who threw it back into the briefcase, "what the hell are you tryin' to pull here",
"Perhaps I should be asking you", Talbot asked
"This is bullshit", Ella stated, grabbing Drake's ring off the table and putting it around Nate's neck, "deal's off",
"And you, you can tell your client you blew it", Sully added, "come on, Nate, Ella, let's get the hell outta here",
"You're not really in a position to negotiate", Talbot said, "now, give me the ring, take the case, and walk out of here like gentleman and lady, while you still can",
"Do as the man says, son", Cutter stated, stopping the three from leaving the room
"You're a thief", Nate said in anger
"Well, now that's ironic", Talbot sneered, everyone eyeing Nate, Ella, and Sully; not long after, Nate grabbed a pool stick and hit Cutter in the head, Sully doing the same with another goon, Talbot snuck out as the whole upstairs turned into a fist fight.
"Just like old times, huh", Ella asked, punching a goon in the face
"Define which one", Nate called out
"He has a point", Sully stated as the three continued fighting, not long after, all the goons were unconscious; right before they could leave, a big guy came in the room
"Hey there, big fella", Nate greeted in unease until Ella jumped on the big goon's back
"Hit him... now", Ella shouted as Nate quickly grabbed a chair and hit the goon over the head
"Bad idea", Cutter said, throwing Ella off of the big goon as he then threw Nate out of the upstairs window and down to the bar below where a huge fist fight occurred; the big goon began making his way downstairs, Ella and Sully following down
"This a private party or can we join in", Sully asked, punching a civilian, Ella doing the same, getting one off Nate
"Be my guest", Nate said, the three continuing the fist fight in the bar, until Nate was tackled by the big goon and the two continued their fight in the bathroom, both were pushed back into the big stall until shattering was heard
"Nate... hon, are you ok", Ella called out from the open doorway
"I'm fine", Nate called out, staggering out of the bathroom stall, Nate walked up towards Ella
"You sure, not hurt anywhere", Ella asked
"Just my pride", Nate said
"Hasn't stopped you before", Ella stated, making Nate smile
"Come on, kids, let's go", Sully called out, making the two focus on what was going on around them, moving away from the bathrooms; Sully had the back door opened, which the two walked into, Sully following behind, through the kitchen and outside, into the alley, only to be surrounded; Cutter grabbed Nate and began punching him, two other goons grabbing Ella and Sully and beating them up as well; throwing the three into the trash right outside the door; not long after, a car pulled up into the alleyway, as the three attempted to get up, Cutter told them to stay down, the car pulled to a stop, Talbot exited the car, followed by the backseat doors opening up, two women exiting the car, holding umbrella's, one with short blonde hair, and the other with medium brown hair
"Hello Victor", the woman greeted
"Kate", Victor greeted back,
"Still wallowing in the gutter with your protege's, I see", Marlowe stated, "not very dignified for a man of your age",
"Shoulda known you'd be behind this", Nate said as Marlowe and the other woman put their umbrella's away
"Careful, don't want the wicked witches to melt", Ella stated
"Same cocky little shit", Marlowe sneered
"Must be passed down, right... mom", Ella asked as the woman glared daggers at Ella
"I wonder what you're really afraid of", Marlowe asked, pulling out a dagger from her umbrella and advancing towards Nate, moving the dagger down, grabbing the string of Drake's Ring, later cutting it off and taking the ring, "Mr. Sullivan, I won't harm your precious boy, I merely want what's mine",
"Give that back", Ella stated, only to be shot by Cutter
"El... Ella, no", Nate panicked as Ella fell down, back into the trash, Nate attempted to fight, but got shot as well, Cutter later shooting Sully last
"You fool", the woman shouted
"Anne", Marlowe stated, sternly, "what's done is done, let's go",
Marlowe and Anne walked back to the car, got in and drove off, leaving Cutter behind with the bodies of Nate, Ella, and Sully.
