Chapter 3
Robin was watching both the sheriff Nottingham and Kent closely. Kent was staying with Nottingham and Robin wanted to know why. What ever they were planning it couldn't be good.
Will had done an another vanishing act. Robin knew Will was escaping anyone questioning him Azeem and the other outlaws who wanted to know how he knew Kent. But Will would just lost his temper. Robin had to do lot of guess work. Will first meet Markus when he first went to Kent or was it when he was gone for two weeks? Robin guess it was when Will move to Kent as a child.
Will wasn't gone too long. He come back with a whole lot of money and some food. "How did you get that?" asked Robin
"I'm a thief, how do you think I got it?" asked Will
"Who gave you that title?" asked Robin
Will looked darkly "It's not a title. It's a way of life"
...
Robin soon found out why Kent sent men out to kill Will. All the outlaws had a price on they head, Robin more than the others. But Will was catching him up fast. Will had five hundred gold prices on his head. Robin read the paper that come from Nottingham. According to that Will had killed a noble and a guard while he was living in Kent. Robin knew from what Fanny and John had told him Will was only just a boy then. Why would a young boy want to kill a noble or a guard for? It made no sense. Robin read a bit more and said Will killed some more guards a few weeks ago. (the two weeks Will vanished)
Robin wasn't sure what to make of it. He then wonder were Will was as he hadn't seen him. But hopefully he was alright. Robin was glad most of the outlaw couldn't read. Will wasn't on the best of term with the others and Robin fear they would hand him over.
"What up Rob?" Robin turn to see John
"Just thinking" said Robin "John you knew Will as a child right? What was he like before he went to Kent"
John looked a bit confused why Robin was asking but shrugged it off "William? Cheeky thing he was. Always had something to say. He was after food mainly, his mother didn't always remember to feed him. A right pick pocket too, had coins from travellers before you could blink." John paused "Independent that what he was. He couldn't always rely on his mother, he looked after himself since he was knee high to a grasshopper. He got in fights with older boys all the time"
Robin looked back at the paper "How about after?"
John looked on the floor "When he first come back he was ill. Show up out of the blue. Fanny looked after him till he was well. Didn't say a word for a few weeks. Just had a dark look on his face. Then he got back into fights and insulating anyone one who talked to him. Then he went off on his own for a bit. He always come back after a few weeks for food or shelter if it was clod or raining. Since he got back form Kent he was just angry lasted all his cheeky"
Robin was shook what he learn from John Will was more or less looking after himself since he was a small child. What ever happen in Kent change Will forever.
