Sting

Toby Longholes


"Oh heck! he knows I'm here!" Toby panicked and without thought and driven wholly by fear he jumped up with a start and started running, after a short while he realised that Kaldir was not following and stopped, placing both hands on his knees and panting heavily, he began scolding himself, "you fool of a Longholes, what are you thinking spying for rangers, if either Barrold or the bounty hunter found out they would string you up for sure and what good would the rangers gold be to you then!" he spat on the ground and slowly drew himself up, "they would have to catch me first" he chuckled, "Perhaps there is profit to be had from both sides " he grinned greedily as he made his way back to the gate.

Toby moved swiftly down the familiar streets, towards Barrold's place, intent on selling the ranger out to his villainous colleague, perhaps Barrold would be mad enough to rid him of the rangers constant interference in their business, but as Toby rounded the last corner he scrambled backwards. Sitting outside Barrold's less known hideout where two tall, dark hooded figures, "Blast and darn it, there is more of them he spat! What in Arda is that old cur up too that he has three rangers looking for him," he groaned, quickly he changed his direction and heading towards the inn. "Perhaps he will test Butterbur's patience by returning there" he chuckled.

It was about an hour before he eventually caught sight of Barrold, he had an advantage over the rangers he knew the location of Barrold's usual haunts, he was dismayed to see that he was not alone, even in the darkness of this moon less night his hobbit eyes could make out the second figure, Tall and wrapped in a calico cloak, "Oh great! Avanill!" he groaned trying to remember if he had any outstanding debts with the dangerous young man. "No, no, I definitely paid him" he thought walking towards them.

But as he rounded the conrner he stopped short his eyes wide with surprise!
