Todd: Rules
"It ain't right, that's all." Grim looked his name today.
"Of course it ain't right, but it needs doin'. I hate it as much as you do, but there's no one else who could, or would." Blue slid out of his saddle and pulled a rope off his bag. He eyed enough length of it while Grim grunted and slid off his horse. He reached up and pulled the sack off the head of a third rider. He spit on Grim immediately.
"Shit on the both of ya!"
"Always a charmer, aren't you, Tyle?"
Blue took the coil of rope and swung it around a strong looking oak branch, giving it a good tug.
"...the hell?" Tyle franticly jerked as the noose went around his neck.
"No killing kids, that's our law. You gotta swing for it."
