Thanks to Lizhi Anne for her review. You won't find out what's happened yet, that would spoil it.
"Well, Guy what has happened?" Lily turned at the bottom stair as her husband bounded in.
"The children are gone, we need to gather everyone we can at The Manor"
He sensed eyes above him, begging "Jake put your thickest coat on"
"It's past his bedtime Guy" Lily's voice was stern
"I don't care, without him I wouldn't even know they were missing"
When the Gisborne's entered Robin's home they found the entrance hall bursting with people. All the Gang and their relatives were there, the Guard that Guy himself had roused and some older friends of Edward's.
"Hullo Gisborne!!!" at the shout of his surname Guy looked round and saw Carter, a one time friend, on the other side of the room.
Edward and a policeman stepped out onto the landing above the crowd. Instantly silence fell
"Thank you for coming everybody" Edward's voice was clear and commanding "As you know my three grandchildren have gone missing and we will need everyone's help to find them"
The policeman took over "Now we can't do much until first light, I have set the department to making posters. Come back here tomorrow to collect them and put them up everywhere you can get permission..." he trailed off
"And all the time just please keep your eyes open, that goes for other children too"
Jake mimed an army salute, jerking his hand down sharply before anyone noticed. It was common knowledge that Edward had been in reserve during the war, though never called up.
Sorry for the short length. Writers block is plaguing both this and my Merlin story Camelot: a new chance. I hope it goes away
