Sir Loki had lifted the gate out of the back of the wagon and was sitting in the bed, Sir JonPop and Sir Bret had climbed up on the board seat and were deep in thought. The rest of the Knights were leaning on or just standing around the wagon talking softly. Everyone was in a pretty black mood at these turn of events.
Sir JonPop said, "I have an Idea. You all know that the King isn't going to pay a 150,000 ransom in gold for Sir Stud and Betsy especially when he wouldn't give in to King Richard and pay the ransom for the Queen, so this is what I purpose. He had everyone gather around and told them his plan.
The sun was just starting to set when Sir Sonic came riding up to the wagon, he dismounted, looked around and didn't see anyone. The farmer and his wife had been instructed to stay inside and to show no lights.
He took two heavy leather bags from his horse and with a heave, tossed them into the back of the wagon.
He then mounted, swung his horse around and with a final look, yelled, "Come and get your gold you filthy ass holes." Kicked at his horses ribs and took off in a gallop.
