Shay's POV

I walk through New York, I eventually reach the lower part of Manhattan. I find Coronal Monroe in front of a random brick building. I walk up to him, Coronal Monroe sees me.

"Ah, Master Cormac," Coronal Monroe greets me, "What you have learned from Le Chasseur was confirmed. The local lawbreakers are changing tactics," I look at Coronal Monroe.

"What's there plan now?" I ask him. He starts to walk slowly, I follow him.

"Their boss hired Benjamin Franklin to produce new weapons," Coronal Monroe tells me, "He's very well guarded,"

"Benjamin Franklin.... the scientist?" I ask.

"You have heard of him, good. He is making equipment to spread gasses among the populace. Toxic ones as it turns out," Coronal Monroe tells me.

"The populace? I ask a little shocked, "I thought they would use it against the authorities," Coronal Monroe looks at me and raises a eyebrow. I realize what I just said, "Though that would be terrible as well.."

"The ruffians we have arrested refer to a intimidating woman," Coronal Monroe tells me, "I believe she is behind these nefarious plans,"

"I'll look into this," I tell him. He smiles.

"Thank you," he says and then he leaves. After he leaves, I think for a moment. An intimidating woman? Then I realize who it might be.

"Hope... I pray it's not you," I say to myself.

Kathryn's POV

I kind of followed Shay. I know weird, creepy. But I hate not knowing what it is that he is doing. I hate being in the dark. I here his and Coronal Monroe's whole conversation, behind a building.

The criminals are using toxic gases against the populace! The Coronal mentioned an intimidating woman. I think for a moment, I might know who it is.

"Hope, please let it not be you," I say to myself. I hear foot step walk in my direction. I quickly hide in a hay pile. I hear someone sigh.

"Kathryn, I know your hiding somewhere," I hear a man with a Irish accent tell me, Shay. I sigh and I come out of the hay pile. I brush away the hay out of my hair and my dress, "Kathryn, what are you doing here?"

"I was curious on what you were going to do," I tell him. Shay raises a eyebrow.

"So, you followed me?" Shay asks me. I sigh and I nod, "Kathryn, go home," Shay orders me.

"But...." I start to say.

"No! Go home!" Shay practically yells at me.

"No! From what I can tell I am a human being. I can go where I please, and go home whenever I want!" I nearly yell at him, "And staying in that house alone is not what I want to do!" Shay shakes his head.

"You have to go home!" Shay pleads with me.

"I want to help!" I tell him.

"I'm not letting you around toxic gases!" Shay tells me.

"I never said I would be around any gases," I say, "Lets just say I got some 'connections' in this particular part of the city,"

"What kind of connections?" Shay asks me.

"Well, I have this friend who could possibly get you in and out of Franklin's property without being noticed," I tell him, "he's sort of a gang member,"

"He's a gang member? What makes you think he won't stab us in the back?!" Shay asks. I roll my eyes.

"He owes me," I say, "he told me that he would help me when I need it," Shay still doesn't look convinced, "look he is a very good friend of mine, we knew each other since childhood, he has never let me down,"

"Fine, lets meet this friend of yours, but afterwards you are going back home," Shay tells me.

"Okay, I'll go home afterwards," I tell him. Shay nods
