PROLOGUE

Flynn Rider hadn't always been a thief. No, but alone in the world it became rather necessary. At first, it was simple. He only took food, and just enough to keep him going, nothing more. Until he met up with the Stabbington brothers. It had been merely by accident that he had bumped into them – literally. And they didn't take too kindly to being bumped into. Before he knew it, Flynn was in big trouble. He'd made a deal with them, to save his nose from getting rammed.

"Don't fail, Rider. Or we will delight in bashing your face in."

Then he was on his own again.

It was Flynn Rider the thief that ran through the forest the next day, carrying a satchel containing his trophy from his raid. Food was old-style now – he'd stolen his first bag of money. With guards hot on his trail, he had taken to the forest. It had been so easy to sneak in, take the bag, and then saunter away. If only that white horse hadn't chosen that moment to neigh, catching the attention of the guards. Flynn might have gotten away if it had stayed quiet! But the guards recognized him at once and the chase was on. Now, as he dashed through the forest, he wondered if this was a good idea after all.
