Outlaw
““Until now, Father,” said Robin, his voice hushed, “I have obeyed you in everything, but blind or not, I shall not leave you here to die.” And he loosened the rope around his father’s neck as he spoke. “We shall walk out of here, me as a sheriff’s man and you at the end of this rope as my prisoner. Just play the games I play, Father, and we shall both live.”
“What for? What is there to live for?”
“To fight. We will fight this tyrant, and we shall bring him to his knees, I promise you – if it takes my whole lifetime.” He pulled gently on the rope. “Forgive me, Father, but from now on I must treat you as they would. It won’t be for long. And curse me back all you like, it’ll be all the better if you do.” He took a deep breath, and then shouted into his father’s face. “Up, you scum-bag! Up!” He threw open the door and dragged his father out past the guards.
“A bit early, aren’t you?” said one of them.
“Sir Guy of Gisbourne’s orders,” Robin said.
