	Griffin's intervention didn't prevent the Templars from eventually finding the warehouse where the teenagers were reliving the memories of their ancestors and they sent a strike team which captured four of them. However, the last two, Owen and [[Javier]], escaped thanks to the [[Bleeding Effect]] and Griffin retrieved them thanks to the tracking device in their stolen Abstergo bike. Griffin convinced Owen to trust him, and the teenager in turn convinced his reluctant friend to work with the Assassins. The teenagers revealed that during their time in the Animus, they discovered that a [[Trident of Eden#The Daggers\|Dagger of Eden]] was gifted to [[Ulysses S. Grant]] who kept it until his death in his family cottage. Griffin prompted them to use [[Eagle Vision]] to see if he was truly trustworthy and promised to secure the Brotherhood's help in order to prove that Owen's father was innocent of the crime he was arrested for. He then brought them to his safe house.<ref name="~~ACLD~~"/>		Griffin's intervention didn't prevent the Templars from eventually finding the warehouse where the teenagers were reliving the memories of their ancestors and they sent a strike team which captured four of them.

	After equipping themselves and receiving a call from [[Gavin Banks]], who revealed that the Dagger was in fact a prong of the [[Trident of Eden]], they took a private plane to New York and from there drove to Grant's house. However, Monroe arrived there first and left with the artifact before, the stash being empty. Before they left, three helicopters filled with Templar agents arrived to the house and after Owen destroyed two of them with a grenade, they escaped. Griffin subsequently scolded Owen for disobeying his order not to engage, threatening to forgo his promise of exonerating his father to the teenager if he disobeyed again. He then reminded Owen and Javier that there were still three Pieces of Eden that Abstergo desired and the Templars believed they and the other teenagers were the key to finding them. He offered them a choice to carry on, to which Javier was considering refusing, but Owen on the other hand was willing to accept Griffin's offer.<ref name="~~ACLD~~"/>		After equipping themselves and receiving a call from [[Gavin Banks]], who revealed that the Dagger was in fact a prong of the [[Trident of Eden]], they took a private plane to New York and from there drove to Grant's house.
