Sorry about the short update but I am having a little bit of a blank. Feel free to review with ideas! (Silly ideas enjoyed too!)
Chapter 24 – Suspect.
Time slowed slightly as Will watched Allan groaning on the floor and guilt began to flood through him. He instinctively stretched out a hand to the man on the floor who, after wiping the blood from his nose looked at it incredulously.
"Sorry," Will muttered, "We need to talk...outside."
Allan nodded, choosing to ignore Will's help and getting himself off the floor. They checked Robin's peaceful sleeping form anxiously before realising he was oblivious to the action going on around him. The two friends walked out into the corridor before finally meeting each other's eyes.
"Look, I overacted and..."
"No," Allan interrupted, "I shouldn't have and I'll work hard to make things go back to the way they were; I'm sure Djaq will too, so we're not awkward around one another."
Will nodded, awkwardly examining his fingernails as the question he desperately needed to ask worked its way to his lips, "So you...er...still like her?"
Allan fought his desire to look away from Will and stared his friend straight in the eyes, "Yeah." Will let out a breath he didn't realise he'd been holding, "But she doesn't feel that way about me; you two belong together..." Allan let a sad smile creep onto his lips.
Before either of them had made a conscious decision to do so the two best friends were embracing, each man clapped the other on the back before they broke apart as Will whispered two words, "Thank you."

A few miles away Guy Gisborne sat in a prison cell his head in his hands fury pulsing through him . Fury at the accusation. Fury at seeing his old 'friend', turned enemy Vaysey. Fury at being out of control.
He heard footsteps outside his cell and ran towards the door suddenly, bashing it with his shoulder and adding some swearwords to the noise in his pain and anger.
'Oi! Let me out! I haven't done anything."
"We are legally allowed to detain you for 48 hours so various interrogations can take place, please try to relax Mr. Gisborne," The guards answered him in a monotonous voice before his echoing footsteps started to fade.
"I didn't do it!" Guy's voice broke as he screamed out the words, "Why would I burn down a building if the woman I love was inside?"
