duncans eyes widened as he took in the slumped genovsens in front of him. he whirled around calling to his assistent "john go and get crowley again" he said urgently the small man scurried off to get the commandant.
hal knelt down next to them roughly grabbing their boots off. quizzically horace asked what he was doing it for not taking his eyes off his task he replied grimly "stupid assasins always carry knives in their boots" he grumbled will raised an eyebrow musing to himself "always wondered how that genovsen escaped" the last time he had encounted the genovsens working for the outsiders he had killed him will had been angry and worried for his friends not to say exhausted so he had waited till the morning and had just dragged the body into the trees not bothering to work it out. he had regreted his actions later as his curiosity had been piqued and he had never been able to satisfy it. thorn eyed him "something tells me one does not just escape from you" he let the statement hang and will grinned innocently "no idea what your talking about and crowley i know you're there so don't sneak up on us i know you like your revenge nearly as much as halt" dissapointed crowley came out of the shadows his boyish demeaner vanished however as he saw the cause for his summons.
he wrinkled his nose "bit ripe aren't they" he gestured to the assassins' feet now that he mentioned it the others could smell a slightly off scent. alyss rolled her eyes "can we get on with it" she asked slightly impatient will shrugged disinterested and studied his nails "i don't know there's paperwork and we should drag em down to the cells before we do anything besides thats no place for a girl" before he knew it he was on the floor gasping for breath alyss towering over him with a very fierce expression on her face
"you may be joking will treaty and you may be my husband but i suggest you never say that in either my nor paulines hearing or assasins will be the last thing on your mind" she threatened meekly will nodded the others were reminded off a small boy in trouble. they all grinned as will pulled a face at them when alyss turned her back without looking she raised her foot and stomped on wills stomach redriving his air from his lungs out he groaned and the others guffawed.
"if you're all done joking would someone please explain why there are 3 unconcious assasins lying in the hallway" crowley asked good naturedly will pulled himself to his feet his joking demeaner gone now in the serious atmosphere
"we just walked out of the office but just as thorn here was about to crush all my ribs i kicked the legs out from underneath him just before a crossbow quarrel could hit him i then shot that beuty over there but he moved at the last minute so i shot him in the shoulder then the other two charged out with their knives and stig obliviated them" they ones who had not been present let out low whistles, alyss looked badly shaken and will moved to stand next to her and wrap an arm around her waist it had to be admitted that stig had felt a little disappointed to know the beutiful tall courier had already been claimed.
after a small disscusion it was decided that they would take the genovsens down to the dungeons where they would be interrogated. now they where down in the dimly lit space waiting for the assasins to wake up.
one of them, the one stig knocked out, groaned and started to wake up only to be confronted by a group of angry men and a woman. he reared back slightly underneath their gazes only then noticing that his hands and feet where tied to a chair with thick rope. he sneered at them
"well what do we have here" he taunted will raised an eyebrow "i believe thats our line" he said quietly the genovsen studied him
"so your the famous will treaty"
wills jaw tightened at the snide remark and the contempt it was said with alyss rested a hand on his shoulder stopping him from doing anything to rash
"i suggest you tell us your name and purpose" he spoke quietly but his words where filled with venom it had been unofficially chosen that will would lead the interrogation. the genovsen shrugged
"my name is garrati as for my purpose i am surprised you have not worked that out yet ranger"
"well garrati perhaps you could enlighten me"
"perhaps you could enlighten me"
"alyss it might be better if you stepped outside for a minute"
wills eyes never left the assasin while all the others in the room watched on alyss pursed her lips but nodded a small sliver of fear in her eyes she touched his arm gently then moved to let herself out when she was gone the king spoke
"will what do you plan to do exactly that your wife shouldn't be hear to see?"
"not sure your majesty but i didn't want her here even if she is a courier"
will had turned to look at the king as he spoke
"acturally it might be best if i do this myself"
he hinted the king sighed taking one more look at the assasin before turning to leave gesturing for the others to follow. crowley raised an eyebrow at the younger ranger who returned his gaze evenly and surely, i got this the look seemed to say crowley sighed turning to leave as well horace just went straight after him knowing his friend could handle it. the skandians where more reluctant seeing as though it had looked like thorn was the target they looked at the genovsen with slight loathing. will held the gaze of their skirl who reluctantly got up and walked out stig following close behind after one more glare at the assasin thorn stayed where he was
"i would crack my knuckles but for some reason i think i would break them if i tried" he glanced down at his warclub he had replaced his hook with it after the attack will grinned slightly
"i got this thorn"
thorn sighed
"i know will treaty i know"
he got up and left after that. finally the ranger and assasin were alone. will turned to garrati again.
"who was your target"
the genovsen shrugged, like lightning will had grabbed one of the poisened quarrels and pressed it into the mans shoulder.
"i suggest you start talking the closest man with the antidote to this poisen lives 8 days away by that time you would be well dead so i repeat who was your target?"
the genovsen paled
"y-you and h-hal"
"who sent you?"
"a skandian i don't know properly he only did letters and signed with an x"
"why"
"he wants you two gone he knows if you are ot of the way he can take the crown of skandia"
will stood up grimly sent one last disgusted look at garrati then turned and stormed out.
