His Greatest Steal (Sam Drake X Reader)

Chapter Two

"Nate! Sam! It's so good to see you two again!" You laughed as you greeted your two longest friends. It'd been a couple of years since the three of you last worked together, but by chance the three of you were brought back together by a mutual friend.

They walked into your hotel room behind said friend, Rafe Adler. You and he had been dating for little over a year when he expressed his interest in working with some men he'd met to find the treasure of Henry Avery. Almost immediately you'd been sure he was talking about the Drake brothers, and sure enough, it was the two of them that came back with him.

"Y/N? My god, what are you doing here?" Nate laughed as he dropped his bags and picked you up in a bone crushing hug. You just laughed and held onto him, noticing how Sam stood behind him, his face showing his own surprise at finding you there.

You waved at him from over Nate's back and he smiled and gave you a small wave back.

There was something strange about his expression, and you wondered if it had anything to do with the argument you'd had last time you worked together. You debated just saying outright that it was in the past, but that meant the other two would hear, so instead you ignored it, hoping to explain later.

You felt Rafe step closer to you in answer to Nate's question, entwining his fingers with yours. "This is my girlfriend and partner in this hunt. I'd introduce you, but it would appear that you all know each other somehow..." He trailed off slightly, clearly waiting for an explanation, so you dragged your eyes away from Sam and turned to him.

"We were kids together. We got into this whole thing together and worked a few jobs too. I haven't seen them in a while though! I can't believe they're here!" You laughed again, slightly more forced this time as you saw the strange look on Sam's face. Clearly he was not happy about something, and you could only guess that it was working with me again.

Rafe was oblivious though and chuckled, himself. "Well that saves on the introductions. So what do you say we get down to work?"

You nodded and led the way to the spare double bed in your room where you'd sprawled the plans out, going over each step of what you'd need to do to find the first puzzle piece. It involved breaking into an old prison and searching for clues in the cell of an old pirate. After a few hours though, the four of you were still debating on how best to get to it.

"Well I'm the smallest, and so less likely to be seen. I could hike across here," You said, trailing the path on the map in front of you, "and then climb the ruins. Then when I've searched the area, I can make my way to you guys who can wait on a boat nearby..."

Sam seemed to be considering it, but the other two shook their heads. "It's too dangerous, Y/N. What if you get caught?" Nate tried, and Rafe nodded.

"You have no idea what they might do to you in there. What possible reason could you have for trespassing?"

You rolled your eyes and stood up, going to the other bed and digging around in a suitcase for a second before turning back to the others, a camera in hand and a badge around your neck.

"I'm so sorry! I'm a History student doing my final paper on the history of Pirates and was looking for some pictures! I didn't know I was trespassing, I'm so, so sorry! Please don't throw me in jail!" You sobbed, laying on the innocent act thick, and you saw the three men share a look before nodding.

"That could work..." Nate started, looking sold by your performance, so you grinned and wiped away imaginary tears before taking a bow, but then Rafe was speaking again.

"What if they shoot first and ask questions later? They might think you're an escaping inmate and shoot you on sight... No, it's too risky. I'm not letting you risk your life for what could be an empty cell. We'll find another way."
