The carriage was old but sturdy. Aragorn lay back in the plush velvet cushins and waited for Beregond to return. Closing his eyes he rested and tried to pretend he wasn't in enormous pain.
The shouts of the surrounding guards penitrated his solitude and the king poked his head out of the carriage. "What's going on?"
Everybody continued running around, nobody stopped and replied. Startled at this lack of disrepect Aragorn cast around for Beregond who appeared, panting moment's later by the door.
"Sire, there's been an escape."
There was no need to ask who had escaped, it was obviously one of his attackers. "Which one?"
"Tall, burly."
Aragorn waved his hand, needing more information.
"The leader."
Ah, that one. "How did this happen?"
Beregond muttered something.
"What was that? Do we not have the finest guards? Are they not trained expertly from childhood?" Aragorn was incredulous. He had downed the man himself and knew him to be clumsy and slow of wit.
How on earth had such a man escaped?
