Robin Hood was a legendary English outlaw and folk-hero who appears in ballads from the thirteenth century. He lived through the reign of Henry II, Richard I and John. He feuded with the Sheriff of Nottingham and lived in Sherwood Forest with a band of followers, his 'Merry Men'. They robbed the rich to give to the poor. Among Robin's companions were Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett and Alan-A-Dale. It is said that Robin was born in about 1160 at Locksley, Nottinghamshire. Ancient ballads abound with anecdotes of his personal courage, skill in archery, generosity and great popularity. He protected women and children with knightly chivalry. The first literary mention of Robin Hood was in William Langland's celebrated poem Piers Plowman (c. 1377).
The planning was complete, and the three girls started their once in a lifetime journey. It had taken a lot of planning, but not as much as was needed later. It all started off so well but left Deb in a filthy cell with nothing to do but count the cockroaches, which there were many, the fetid water she was given gave her stomach cramps. Then Dad arrived... but how? He grabbed her quickly and pulled her near the door to unlock the hand and ankle cuffs that secured her. She sighed so he did not need to check her pulse. He managed to lift her onto his shoulder, noticing how light she was - a bonus in a way - as he managed to move quickly across the road. He quickly retrieved his bow and disappeared into the bushes, managing to trip only twice and never enough to floor him. Can they get away for good?
If you would like to put a little excitement in your life, come along for the ride! The detective stories in this book will give you a thrill and a smile. When I started my journey through life, through the eyes of a private detective, I started seeing the world in a different way. My detective stories shared in this book show the good, the bad, and the ugly of the American society. You, as the reader, can judge how the good got good and how the bad got bad. There is a saying that you can't judge a book by its cover; as a private detective, you can't judge people by their appearance, but it does seem that sometimes you can find the good in most people, even in the fast lane...

You're probably sick of hearing: 'You're not alone, just be happy, it'll pass, your life isn't that bad.' Just feel it out. Feel your pain and know that it's ok to feel numb.
