Will was riding to Halt's cabin, he got down from Tug and knocked on the door. No reply. He knocked again, still no answer. " I had informed him earlier about my visit,"muttered Will to Tug. Tug shook his mane, Maybe he has important matters to attend to. Will mounted Tug and rode back to Castle Redmont. He jumped of Tug and walked his horse to the stables. As he was feeding Tug, one of the soldiers rushed over to Will pointing at the tower on his left, " Sir! Thank goodness you are here! An assassin was spotted climbing the tower and we can't catch him." Will jumped up onto his feet and mounted Tug quickly."Is Baron Arald still at Caraway Fief?" asked Will. The man nodded, "He will only be back by tomorrow or this evening." Crowding around the tower were a group of soldiers yelling and throwing all sorts of items at the hooded figure scaling the tower. Wasting no time, Will started climbing the tower in pursuit of the assassin. The assassin saw Will and started climbing faster. By the time Will had reached the middle of the tower, the assassin had reached the top and had started climbing through the window. Will muttered a curse and started climbing quicker. When he reached the window at the top he saw the hooded figure rush past to the other room. Will did the only thing he could-as he had left his bow at the bottom of the tower to keep his hands free while climbing, he ran after the assassin. When he reached the corridor the assassin had disappeared, nowhere to be found. That was when he heard a shout of triumph, rushing to check what had happened he saw that two guards on duty had caught the assassin. "Hand that person over to me." demanded Will. The guards looked at Will and remembered that Will was a ranger. The assassin was struggling to escape, Will brought out a coil of rope and begun binding the assassin. Will grabbed the assassin's wrist in an iron grip and dragged him to Baron Arald's office. Forcing the assassin down onto a chair, Will asked, "What were you trying to do?" The hooded assassin did not reply but kept his eyes trained on the ground. Will repeated the question. The assassin did not reply or even look at Will. Getting impatient, Will whipped back the assassin's hood and looked him in the eye. His anger turned into surprise as he looked at the assassin's face.
