They arrived at the guard station. The town was full of chaos; guards were running all over looking for the fugitives, the wounded were being taken to the hospital, and the dead were being taken to the morgue for burial. Most of the dead were mercanaries but there were a few guards among the fallen. Luckily, none of the company had been captured, or they would be at the station also.

Arlómë and Einen were taken and put inside an empty room in the station. The guard closed and locked the door behind him. They were alone. Immediately, Einen got up and started inspecting the windows, but it was useless.
"We can't escape. There's too many guards outside. They'll notice if we leave through this window." Einen said.
"I think it would be better to get out of Bree legally instead of escaping. That would just set them out in pursuit of us, and they'd know that we are connected with the fight at the Inn. We need to convince them that we are innocent." Arlómë said.
Einen nodded. "We didn't fight any guards anyways, so I guess that does make us innocent." he said.

They waited there for an hour. During that hour, they could here orders being given outside to squads of guards to pursue the fugitives.
"We have a group of dwarves, elves, and men that have escaped. They are the ones responsible for the fight at the Pony, and it is possible that the dwarf, Bali, is with them. We do not know what direction they were headed, so we will send guards out in company's of 20 to search for them in every direction. Be advised that they are armed and very dangerous."
One of the guards spoke up. "Sir, since they have elves in the group, it could be possible that they are heading for the nearly deserted elf village of Rivendell."
"Ok, we'll send 5 squads out towards Rivendell."
I]5 squads! Thats nearly 50 soldiers[/I]Arlómë thought to himself. They'll be able to handle them, hopefully.
But the company was spread out with some traveling by themselves which made them vulnerable to be captured...or killed. They'd be picked off one by one.
"Be advised that the fugitives are wanted dead or alive!"
That wasn't good. Einen looked out the window and saw the squads of guards heading towards the gates...on horseback.
"Hopefully, the others have a good headstart on these guards."
The two men sat there and waited.
