[Fool Of A Took]

Fredgar was really confused now. Hamthorne was innocent, was it really all an accident. Fredgar had hard to believe it, but it sounded true and the dwarf seemed trustworthy. He nodded and fumbled with his handcuffs and fasten them by his belt. All these explanaitions made him quiet confused. He took one step backwards and looked at Hawthorne. He could see that she was crying and could almost tell that she was afraid of getting into a cell.

"Well, if Aman agrees, I will not put you into a cell. But, you must get punnished anyway, thats the law." he sounded a little bit harsh and he turned his head to Aman.

Aman had crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at Hawthorne while she explained. What a mess, Fredgar thought. He took of his green hat and scratched himself in the head. Aman had sent a message to Mr Meriadoc. Fredgar was worried about his reaction, since he was Hamwthorne's uncle. He drew a deep sigh and looked down on his feets. This was the hardest case he had ever been involved in.

Thinking of a solution was hard. The dwarf didn't think that Hawthorne should be put into a cell, and actually Fredgar didn't want anyone to be in a cell. But sometimes he had to, it was his job. The dwarf squirmed and seemed very uncomfortable about the situation. Fredgar tried to avoid both Hawthornes and Amans gaze. He pulled himself together and looked up. "Well, we must reach a solution!" he said and tried to stand right up and not avoiding anyones gaze. "We can't just stand here! What do you think Aman? After all it's your Inn." Fredgar took another step backwards and looked up at Aman that still stood quiet and seemed to think of something. Hawthorne squirmed where she stood and Fredgar could tell it was of the reason that she was afraid of how her Uncle Meriadoc would react when he gets to know about this.

When Fredgar saw her fear in her eyes he just wished that he was someone else. Not the shirriff of Hobbiton, and most of all he didn't want to be here. He felt so sorry for the hobbit, yet he felt that she in some was guilty. He looked around himself and now noticed that Buttercup and Ruby, and a few other faces, had turned to them as Aman had starting yelling at Hawthorne. Fredgar thought this was a little bit embarrasing, but he tried to hide it. He blushed and stared at the ground.
