Aragorn sat back down, and picked up the paper and turned to the 'Crime section' The main heading read, "Local Hobbit Steals Apples" he looked at the picture of the hobbit, even just the back of the hobbit resembled Frodo, "Oi Frodo, you seen this article?" he asked smugly.

Frodo looked guilty, but he did his best to put on an innocent face, "no Aragorn, sir, I would never steal, it's wrong!" he tried to make the same face Merry made when he was caught by farmer maggot.

Aragorn stood up, put is hands on Frodo's shoulders and turned him around so that Frodo's back was facing him and held the article up, the outlines of the bodies matched perfectly. "Bilbo, take a look at this.." he said.

"Just a minute, I'm, er, a little busy!" Bilbo yelled out, as he drained another bottle of Winyards, Frodo turned to Aragorn in shock, "You wouldn't!!"

"Oh I would.. believe me.." he said to Frodo, enjoying watching the terrified look on his face, "well.. if your as innocent as you say you have nothing to worry about. right?" he finished off.

Frodo decided there was nothing to do but own up. or was there.? A crafty smile formed on his face as he looked at the fire, just behind the big man, if he were to just give the paper a little nudge, it would burn up, and there'd be no evidence.the perfect crime! Quick as he could, he spun around, grabbed the paper and threw it into the fire, he relaxed as he saw the .

Aragorn watched all this with a too calm look on his face. "Bilbo.. I'll be back in a minute, just going out to fetch today's paper" he shouted to the drinking hobbit and grinned at Frodo as he walked out. He walks down to the market place , he purchased the paper and made his way back to Bag End.

A/N:What will happen to Frodo?? Will he be found guilty?? Review. and give me suggestions.
