Vol 2 Foreword - Who killed cock robin?

[sharpclaw13]

It is a bright sunny day, Clawtool was walking casually in  Hobbiton, planning to visit the Green Dragon Inn in Bywater, When

she was thrown helplessly to the ground by a small group of angry hobbit as they rush to the Ivy Bush Inn. Clawtool dusted

herself from the ground and headed over to the Ivy Bush Inn to find out what is going on.

Inside the inn, a small crowd is surrounding a short male hobbit wildly gesturing and screaming at him. Clawtool noticed that

the local Inn league member, Moonlight Sandheaver is here grinning.

 

'Did you know?'

'Who could have done this?'

'Why was no one inform about this?'

'What am i suppose to do now?'

'We must inform the other bounders'

Clawtool recognised that the hobbit being surrounded was none other than Shirriff Robin Smallburrow, whom unflattering

nickname is 'Cocky robin'.

 

'CALM DOWN EVERYONE,' Robin attempted to calm the crowd, waving his ineffective arms as the crowd ignore his gesture.

Clawtool sighed, dipped inside her side pocket and pulled out some Deluxe Stink Bomb and tossed them into the crowd!

Moonlight glared wickedly at Clawtool, while she and the rest of the crowd coughed and spluttered. Clawtool run into the

crowd and pulled Robin, on his sleeves and drag him and herself out of the inn and push him towards the road to Bywater.

 

Clawtool turned towards Robin and wait patiently, as Robin catches his breath.

 'What is going on?' Clawtool asked worryingly.

'Certain people are missing and they want the bounders to find them,' explained Robin.

'Like who?'

'Foxglove Grubb for example'

'But isn't foxglove a member of the Ale league?'

'Yes, she been missing for 3 days, she was last seen near her home testing a new ale created by a new member'

'Hmm,let me think' Clawtool considered her options and decided the best way to solve this mystery is to enlist her fellow

brotherhood and discuss the situation.

'I don't know what else to do now,' stuttered Robin.

'Wait a minute, you mention that a new member of the Ale league wanted to join, who is it?'

'It is .... ugh' started Robin, then gasped in shock as a arrow protruded out of his chest and collapsed to the ground.

'ROBIN!' screamed Clawtool.
