It was a cool breezy night in this small kingdom. Two gaurds stood outside the casle steps, one with a torch

in hand. There was a torch hanging on the arch over the entrey way to the castle, also down the hall like street with two big stone walls on each side, on both of those walls was a torch. But the four torches and the two gaurds were not the only ones out side this cool night. They heard slight foot steps, but paid no attention.

"So, how's the misses at home?", ask the gaurd with the torch, who, in the lighting that we have, seemed large with broad shoulders.

"She's helpin' me out alot" said the man beside him, he looked skinny in the light but alittle taller then the man with the torch "'Cause this gaurd duty doesn't pay much"

The man with the torch sighed, then with alittle bit of anger in his voice and a little bit of a raised voice he said, "Haven't you figured this whole thing out yet?"

"well I-" started the skinny man

"You have to get more then one job in this town." the man with the torch said, interupting the skinny man,"Your problem is you are too lazy to do anythin'!"

"But I-" started the skinny man

"There's no "buts" about it."

"but i need to tell-"

"I don't care! Just to remind you i didn't make the patner schedule for me and you to be on gaurd together"

"But sir-"

"I said shut up" said the big man caliming down a bit.

The skinny mans eyes widened, the bigger gaurd looked at him puzzled, then the skinny man ran into the castle yelling "Help! Help! Intruder!" yelled the skinny man

"Intruder, eh?" mumbled the bigger man.

Just then as he turned around he saw a black figure about three feet in front of him he say the figure looking for somthing on his black clothing, as he stop moving around the bigger man saw a hand raise then the bigger man saw a blackjack comming to his head.
