Raph was bleeding he knew that, it wasn't fatal but it hurt like hell when they had him bandaged up. He need to let Jackie know he was alright in some way, he then remembered his old eagle messenger bird. He quickly grabbed a pen and a piece of paper.

[center] [i] Dear Jackie,

I am alright just.letting you know, but the city's surrounded that's what the scouts are telling me, it looks like there is going to be a big battle going on in a few hours if you can. Tell anyone that will listen that Jericho and the assassins need help, if they start refusing tell them that we the assassins will work under the kings order and no one else's. Just hurry things will turn bad for us in a few hours we have civilians living in this city as well. Men, women, and children that will but killed if we can't hold here I hope this letter finds you.

Love your assassin boyfriend

He told the bird where to fly and what to look for, as he put the letter in the note holder on the eagles back. He knew everything hung in the balance, if that letter did not reach her then this city would be destroyed if it did he hoped that reinforcements would show up and soon. Raph got to his feet and let the bird take off toward its destination, the sword had struck him in his shoulder it wasn't fatal of course but it hurt.
