Alexander knew he had to do everything he could to leave the gang, not just for his sake, but for Eliza and their child.

The next week, Alexander strolled into the warehouse, with only one thing on his mind; to get out.

"Washington, Sir." Alexander said and walked straight to his desk, slamming his hands down.

"I don't care what I have to do, what I have to pay, I just need out. I need out of this." Alex said frantically.

Washington looked up at him, and just laughed, shaking his head, almost in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? Why? What's so important?"

"My life. My personal life." Alex retorted back.

Washington stood up, towering over Alex.

"You'll regret this." He said, rather pissed off at Alexander.

Alex shook his head and started to walk away.

"I'm always watching. Remember that." Washington said as Alexander walked out, passing John, Hercules, and Lafayette.

"Damnit!" Washington said and threw things off of his desk.

_____________

Alexander couldn't be bothered with Washington right now. He just wanted Eliza. His Eliza.

He headed straight to Reynolds Coffee, hoping to catch Eliza on her break, or if she wasn't, he was hoping the shop wouldn't be too busy so that they could talk.

______________

When Alexander walked into Reynolds Coffee, he was annoyed to find out that they weren't just busy, they were slammed.

He sighed and decided to write Eliza a note and slip it into her pocket as she walked by.

'My dearest Betsy, if you're reading this note, I'd like you to meet me outside at the next possible chance you can. I really need to talk to you about what I did today; don't worry, it's nothing bad, but we really do need to sit and talk. I know you're busy today, which is why I didn't sit and wait. I'll be waiting on the bench. Much love to you and our child.
Ever yours, Alexander.'

Alex waited for Eliza to walk by so he could slip her the note.

Eliza walked by, not really noticing that Alexander was there. She had a tray of drinks on her hand and walked to the table she was serving.

Alex was quick to slip the note in her pocket, and then slipped out of the door.
