One Cell -Part 4
It had been almost a week since Marian had gone now, and Robin continued on as always acting like she would walk back into camp at any moment. But she wouldn't and he knew that. Marian needed her space, and he remembered the last time he had tried to force her to do something. She had shut her room door in his face, bursting hid nose in the process. He did not want to know what she would do now. He did miss her though. He had gotten so use to and enjoyed having her share his bed. He felt rather incomplete without her by his side. But he had things to do, so he could not dwell on the thought, no matter how much it broke his heart, to think of her gone.
Robin had a plan that was going to get them a lot of money for the poor. Sheriff was said to be keeping a rather large sum of money in a strong room. He and the gang were going to break into the strong room and take all the money.
'Easier said than done Master.' much shrieked at Robin's plan. It was never going to work.
'I have a plan Much.' Robin stated, then mumbled something that Much swore sounded like half a plan.
'I'm not bein' funny but the Sheriff's gonna have guards everywhere.' Allan stated the obvious.
'Which is why.' Robin said bring out two guards clothes. 'We have these' He smiled.
'So what's the plan.' Djaq asked as everyone moved in closer to listen to Robin's plan. Or well half a plan. Much thought to himself.
The Outlaws were all gathered in Nottingham now minus Djaq who was to stay and watch the camp, much to her annoyance, hiding in different places of the market. Robin watched as five guards left the castle, and whistled for the rest of the gang to follow him in. They did so without hesitation. Much was close on Robins back, not letting him out of his sight.
Finally they made it too the strong room. Will and Allan were already standing there in their guards uniform. They noticed the others, and Will began working on the lock to the door. Allan and Much kept a look out while John helped Will, and Robin just stood there holding the large bags ready to go and fill with the money.
The door made a 'bang' noise and Will nodded to Robin and then to John, giving him the signal to bash the door down. John nodded back and without another word the door was laying on the floor. Robin smiled and walked in and began filling the bags with money. Will and John helped while the others kept a look out. Robin had put the last of the money in the bag. Too easy. He thought. He Will and John turned to find Much and Allan unconscious on the floor. Gisbourne was standing in the doorway with at least ten guards behind him.
'Guards, arrest them.' He smirked.
Spoke to soon. Robin thought again.
There were too many guards and all they could do was surrender. They were taken and thrown into the dungeons, to be hanged. Now he would never see Marian again.
Marian was sitting on the hill watching the waves bash against one another. It was a beautiful sight to say the least. But right now she wished she was sitting on that hill looking at Locksley as she and Robin had done so many times in their childhood. She missed that childhood, so carefree and foolish and in love. No war to take him away and no evil sheriff to keep them apart. It had been almost two weeks now, and she missed Robin even more as each passing day went by. She had decided that it was time...time to go home...to Sherwood...and to him.
