Now that they had started their attack, they would all be in danger until it was over. His personal experience taught him that speed trumped strength and skill in most cases, and this was especially true in a sneak attack. He moved through the deep shadows between the inn and the buildings around it. The barrels were still stacked neatly beside the alehouse. He climbed up them quickly, feeling a little shaky as he stood up on the top barrel. He gripped the shed’s rough exterior to steady himself.He expected Griff to be waiting for him, but the young man was gone. He wanted to call out to Griff, but he couldn’t risk alerting someone to his presence. The roof of the ale house was now at Stone’s chest, and he boosted himself onto the rough shingles without much trouble or noise. Heights didn’t normally bother Stone, but there was so little light that he feared he might stumble or fall through a weak spot in the shed’s roof. He could see the dark shape of the inn, but he wasn’t sure where the shed roof ended.
