Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet,
I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Well, I'm back, yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Ho yeah
Oh yeah
Yes I am
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah
Back in now
Well I'm back, I'm back
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Out of the sight

She sings to herself in the long road it's dark and she's soaked from the heavy rain but she's almost made it to Bree and she doesn't wish to be late for the meeting with Gandalf and their mysterious leader she's to meet upon arrival.


She pulled Otis along the nightly  streets of Bree to the small tavern, she seats herself in a corner table with her hood drawn and her smoke pipe between her lips as she waits for her beer, Gandalf and the dwarves leader; Thorin Oakanshield as Gandalf had told her in another letter he had sent just a few days before her arrival. 

She soon spots a dwarf making his way to a small table for two by the fire, she always seems to see the way other mens; bounty hunters eyes follow him probably for the bounty written on his head by a certain White Orc and his beastly company of evil little creatures. How Hali wished to run the stupid beast through with her blade and be done with him all together but she hadn't caught wind of him in sometime and it pissed her off. Without even noticing to stuck in thought she looks up to find that Gandalf had perched himself in the seat in front of Thorin talking in hushed whispers to him probably about his bounty and the quest he wished to push the dwarves on.

Hali sees him look up and around the room, most likely for her, she moves from the shadows of her seat coming up behind Thorin.  "I hope you haven't gone into too much detail about everything Gandalf there are unfriendly ears and eyes watching among us." Her voice reaches Thorin's ears he turns around to find her still with her helm still on but he would know that cloak anywhere, she had saved his nephews a few months before he set out to follow the rumours about his father. "It's good to meet you Thorin, both your nephews and Gandalf speak highly of you" she removed her helm giving him a short bow of her head.

"You are being hunted Thorin a quarter of those men are within in this room so Gandalf refrain from speaking of such a highly sensitive and secretive quest within the walls of this fine establishment" she whispers to them both leaning much farther into the table.

"Shall we say we gather in a more secure location once you have sent word to your kin, a hobbit hole in Bagend where the sixteenth member of this adventure will greet us. I will leave my mark on their door so that it may be found easily" Gandalf says they both nod in agreement. "May I accompany you out Thorin" Hali asks, even though she new thorin was good with his sword she knew he could not take on all these men if they felt like following him. They both head out and Thorin back  to the blue mountain to gather the kin of Durin.
