 Merry and Frost stepped out of the bedroom and
 joined the rest of the guards in the living room.  
 Everyone but Rory had expectant and worried expressions
 on their faces.  Merry took a seat in one of the 
 chairs facing the couch, Frost took a seat on the
 arm of her chair and the rest of the guards arranged
 themselves in front of her.
 
   "We have a major problem," Merry began," Doyle
 has already had a run in with your new friend from
 the Seelie court Rory, compliments of the queen. 
 His back didn't fare much better then yours, but to 
 add to that he is expected to be challenged tonight
 at a feast in honor of my cousin."
 
   "We've got to get him out of there now." Rhys
 said angerly
 
   "That is my intention, but we can't just go
 storming in there.  So Barinthus is going to try and
 get him out to me tonight." Frost said.
 
   "I'm going to take Rory with me for backup, only
 because I really don't trust your motives yet Rory.  
 The rest of you will be on heightened guard.  There
 will be no less then two guards outside at all times,
 someone must be with Merry at all times and someone on 
 inside duty also.  We can't take any chances until I
 get back here with Doyle."  Frost continued.
   
 "Merry, I also think you should call the office
 and alert them to the situation, and please until I
 get back here don't leave the house.  Just to be on the
 safe side, we can't have you getting attacked again."
 Frost said as he laid his hand on Merry's cheek 
 lovingly.
    
 "Well I can't believe my eyes. Frost has fallen
 in love with the princess," Rory said snidley.
    
 "Rory I suggest that you keep your comments to
 yourself, for I'm in no mood to deal with you at
 the moment, but as soon as Doyle is safe again all
 bets are off." Frost said coldly as he kissed Merry on 
 the forehead, and rose to gather his weapons.
