"They're about a mile or two from the corner." Said Much as he joined Robin and the others where they were hiding in the undergrowth. "Looks like a rich noble."

"How many guards are there?" Robin asked as he looked around at their surroundings for the best vantage points.

"About 5, I think." Much replied

"You think?" said Allan skeptically "I'm not being funny but don't we want more reliable facts? I mean you could say 'about 5' but for all we know there could be millions and we'll get killed for sure."

"Allan, shut up." Robin sighed

"I'm just saying, we're risking our lives here and for all we know we could be goners."

"Shut up!" Robin shouted as loud as he dared. He sighed and rubbed his temples "Okay, how sure are you Much?"

"Fairly sure. It was hard to see 'cos they were far away and the carriage was in the way but I think there were only 5…ish."

"Ish?" Allan asked.

"Well I can't actually count so…" Much tailed off and looked at Robin for support.

Robin sighed, "Okay Tuck, Little John and Kate go over by those trees and wait for my signal then cut them off at the back." Robin looked around at them, "Well go."

The three of them moved stealthily over to the bushes and Robin's heart swelled with pride as he saw them moving soundlessly through the undergrowth and remembered back to when they'd nearly blown raids due to noise.

He was brought back to reality with a jolt by Allan who was still chattering in his ear.

"I mean this'll be a piece of cake. A rich carriage with some pathetic noble who'll be winging about something and has probably never done a days work in their life. Ha, they won't know what's hit them."

"Shh, they're nearly here." Robin motioned them back into the undergrowth.

"But it's not fair." A girls voice drifted towards them, "Why can't I walk, I'm so bored."

"He he, I told you. Some spoilt brat moaning 'cos she has to walk." Allan muttered to the others.

"Please." The girl said, "I can look after myself and it will give the horses a break."

"Man, this'll be a breeze." Allan smiled to himself.

"Allan I don't think that's what she's saying." Much replied looking puzzled.

However, before Allan could reply, the carriage rounded the corner.

"Here we go." Said Robin as he stepped out of the bushes in front of the carriage.

"I am Robin Hood." He said loudly.

Much came to stand next to him.

"And this, is an ambush."
