The war room fell silent as General Washington laid down his maps, his brow furrowed in confusion. His trusted aides were absent. With a heavy sigh, he exited his office, following his instincts to the local tavern. Pushing through the doors, he found Hamilton, Laurens, Mulligan, and Lafayette in a raucous display of drinking and dancing. The General stood in the shadows, his stern expression belying his frustration. He cleared his throat sharply, the sound cutting through the music. The four men froze, their laughter dying as they spotted their commanding officer glaring at them, visibly annoyed by their lack of discipline.
