Chapter eight
Hudson farm Robin's room
Later that day, concerned and confused about today's events I decided it would be best to seek help and advice from my three friends, feeling safe in the knowledge they would understand and offer useful advice, yeah right.
LittleJohn has now joined the conversation.
WillScarlet says: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
MarkTheMuch says: Let me get this straight, you chased him away by throwing pegs at him?
RobinHud says: Well yeah.
WillScarlet says: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
LittleJohn says: what's so funny? What'd I miss?
MarkTheMuch says: Robin chased some guy out of her garden by pelting him with pegs.
LittleJohn says: Ok.
WillScarlet says: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
RobinHud says: And it wasn't just some guy! It was Adam.
LittleJohn says: Who's Adam?
WillScarlet says: Robin's ex.
RobinHud says: Thanks Will .
LittleJohn says: And what's up with this Adam guy?
RobinHud says: Nothing except the fact he's an ass…..
WillScarlet says: He cheated on her, on their anniversary.
RobinHud says: With my best friend!!!
WillScarlet says: Achem!
RobinHud says: Sorry Will, a close mate from school.
LittleJohn says: Ouch.
RobinHud says: Yeah, tell me about it.
WillScarlet says: Well at least it got u out of that relationship.
RobinHud says: True.
LittleJohn says: Why?
WillScarlet says: He used to pull her down, make her feel worthless u know.
LittleJohn says: No, seriously!! Your right what an ass.
RobinHud says: Can we not talk about my failed relationships please.
WillScarlet says: Yeah, but just thinking about what that mug did to u makes my blood boil!!!
Will had always had a massive problem with Adam and hated even him more after he found out what Adam did to me.
MarkTheMuch says: Yeah you're all starting to sound like a bunch o girls.
WillScarlet says: WHAT!
LittleJohn says: Hey!
RobinHud says: Mark I am a girl.
MarkTheMuch Says: lol, Anyway what's up Robin u said that wasn't what u wanted to talk about?
WillScarlet says: Its not?
RobinHud says: No. You'll never guess who came to the farm today.
WillScarlet says: who?
MarkTheMuch says: who?
LittleJohn says: Who?
RobinHud says: George Baxter.
MarkTheMuch says: Robert Baxter's son?
RobinHud says: Yeah.
WillScarlet says: What did the pampered prince want?
RobinHud says: His dad sent him to collect our land tax.
WillScarlet says: Big surprise.
LittleJohn says: Is that a new one?
MarkTheMuch says: Yeah, anyone who owns land, like Robin's family with the farm, has to pay money back to Baxter to have the right to own it.
LittleJohn says: The whole worlds gone mad, taxing someone to own their own land. Robin did u pay him?
RobinHud says: No, we don't have the money to pay Baxter's stupid make believe taxes, and even if we did I wouldn't have given it to him, anyway I need to tell you somat.
WillScarlet says: It's not the whole world John, just the Baxter's. Their all money mad, and from what Robin said Baxter's grooming his son to take over the family business, sponging people out of their hard earned cash!
MarkTheMuch says: So did anything happen when you got a visit from the enemy?
RobinHud says: No.
Ok so I lied, but honestly I wasn't gunna tell them about the whole thing when George grabbed me, I mean look at how they reacted to him just being there, let alone anything else, not that there was anything else. Im not stupid. And besides, Will would probably call me a traitor.
WillScarlet says: Ok is that it then? R we done?
MarkTheMuch says: I almost forgot, none of you best be busy tonight. Rent day's coming up for 'The Road' so we gotta deliver them the money tonight. And Joe wants to see us after.
WillScarlet says: Well our evening off was nice while it lasted.
LittleJohn says: so long early night.
RobinHud says: Meet u all usual time, usual place?
I dunno what their all so miserable about, I love the thrill of sneaking out late at night to help the poor, but maybe that's just me.
WillScarlet says: Yeah, C ya.
WillScarlet has left the conversation.
MarkTheMuch says: Will do, bye.
MarkTheMuch has left the conversation.
LittleJhon says: C ya later Robin.
LittleJhon has left the conversation.
Don't you just love good mates, how they understand and want to help you with all the problems in your life, always there for you. Wonder what it'd be like to have mates like that.
