Raphael lowered his book and turned to watch the group gathering to leave. He scratched Athena behind her ears while Maisy made her radio announcement. Standing Rafe set down the book and leaned against the wall and watched as the group left. 

Cupping his hands around his mouth he yelled after them. [color=#808000]“Have fun storming the castle.”[/color] His eyes fell to the scouts in the field below. [color=#808000]“You guys see what your supposed to be watching for yet? No? Then keep looking.”[/color]

It took a bit of discussion before the group left the barge. The first argument was about the women having to carry the prisoner; This was solved when it was established that both Billy and Vicky were armed and neither would allow anyone else to handle their rifles. The second discussion occurred when Maisy made her announcement over the radio. 

At first the former captives reacted poorly. Suspicions forming about their rescuers, suspicions that the Lasthopians were quick to dissuade. However the conversation turned to the Arlingtoners desire to wait for Maisy’s group. Once it was pointed out that there could also be bandits on the way the group was quickly on its way.

Billy strode ahead of the women clustered around the prisoner while Vicky brought up the rear. The march was uneventful, and soon Arlington was in sight. The rescued women started to rush ahead, William dragged his heels a bit but allowed an increased pace.He raised his arm in a slow wave to the guards on the wall.

The women not carrying the Duke rushed forward as the gates opened. William singled out one of the guards. [color=#FFA500]”Fetch whoever is in charge and a friend. You need to take this prisoner off the ladies hands.”[/color]

His head swiveled looking for a face he recognized. Spotting one of the troopers Billy waved him over. [color=#FFA500]”Fetch the boss,”[/color] He started. [color=#FFA500]“She should be here when we turn over this one.”[/color]
