Description
Shocked at the betrayal of Uberto Alberti, whom Ezio's father cosidered as friend, Ezio reaches his home only to find out that it has been overrun by the city guards who are hunting for Ezio. With every guard in the city looking for him Ezio tries to make sure his mother and sister are safe.

Dialogue

Surviving

He and Annetta both enter the building which turns out to be a brothel, not exactly what he had expected. A woman approaches Ezio. Annetta speaks quite highly of you. I can see why.'' Come.'' Ezio follows Paola to the back of the building. She instructs him about the ways of blending into the crowd. My girls will show you how...'' Ezio follows Paola's instructions. To test him they take a walk around the brothel. Ezio keeps moving from one group to the next, confusing any guard who might have seen him.
