Chapter 8 - Escaped?

As Roland was rushing to the door the other guards, alarmed by the screaming, came rushing in from all sides to stop the intruder and apprehand him. Roland had to pull out all tricks just to make it past the guards and to the door. He threw some smoke bombs, threw sand in their faces and pulled out a grapling hook to jump over some guards. "Can't you see I'm trying to leave?" Roland shouted at the guards, laughing to himself. He lands in front of the door quickly opening it and sprinting outside. All of the guards that were patroling the outsides of the mansion noticed the ruckus that was made and also came rushing to the door, seeing Roland leave the building. "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" they shouted at Roland while he was only thinking "Oh come on, not again..." rushing to the main gate but the guards were quicker and blocked the exit. Roland quickly took a right turn and wanted to circle the mansion to try to exit through the back gate. Luckily for him he was quite quick on his feet and left the guards, who wearing their full armor couldn't keep up with him, in the dust. He safely reached the back gate and exited through it. "Finally it's over" Roland said.

But fate had something different in mind

As soon as Roland exited the grounds he was stopped in his tracks by someone. He couldn't make out who it was but he could see he was standing tall and wearing heavy armor. "So a rat managed to sneak in." The person said while Roland was standing there keeping his distance and was ready to run at a moments notice. As the moon rose higher and the light wandered he could see who it was that blocked his path. Garen himself stood right before him. "Why...? You weren't supposed to..." Roland stuttered. Garen still standing where he was looked at Roland "I forgott to grab something from home and when I got closer I noticed that something was going on. And seems like my prediction that a thief would always try to leave through the back was right on the mark." "Seems like I even have to get away from the almighty Might of Demacia" Roland ushered while slowly but surely moving to the right to get to the tree line
