Part 11 – Decision.

A week after Robin's apparent death Thomas finally decided he need to talk to Robin and Much again.

"Robin, Much, I understand you have a life here, but the King, he needs you." Thomas said breaking the happy silence around camp.

"You can't go" said Marian firmly; she had been filled in on the argument.

"You're staying," Will agreed.

"We stay." Much nodded, giving in.

"Ok," Robin gave Thomas an apologetic look. "I'm sorry if he gets angry with you."

"It's ok," Thomas patted Robin on the shoulder, "I need to leave now, I've been gone long enough, goodbye my friends, keep England safe." And with that he grabbed his horse, which was tied up near by, and galloped away.

"Well, who wants to go and surprise the Sheriff?" Robin asked grinning, and the other outlaws groaned, getting up, ready for another long day.
