one.\u00a0 He really wasn&#8217;t a hobbit!\u00a0 With practice ease from years of training from Dwalin and the boys, he easily dodged the first attacker, slicing the sword downwards taking out the knee before turning swiftly and taking his head.\u00a0 \u00a0As he turned to face the second he found Thorin holding him up in the air, choking him while demanding answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Honey though this is very dramatic he needs to breath to talk.&#8221;\u00a0 Bilbo gave him a pointed look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thorin dropped him to the ground.\u00a0 &#8220;Who are you working for?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Look man we were just told to snag him, so we did.\u00a0 I have no idea who paid us.&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It wasn&#8217;t the answer Thorin was looking for, so he took his head, then glanced at his Mate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t look at me I haven&#8217;t pissed anyone off, well there was Mrs. Turnstall who lost to my prize winning tomatoes, but I doubt she hired a hit squad.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen those competitions and yes they would hire a hit squad.&#8221;\u00a0 Thorin shook his head.\u00a0 &#8220;Fili and Kili are prowling around to see if they can find some information, but right now it feels very random and disjointed.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s been a while since we had an outing like this.&#8221;\u00a0 Bilibo cleaned Sting then handed it back to his Mate, who slid the sword into the sheath that was tied to his back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Bilbo, this was a kidnapping not a date.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Ate you sure?&#8221;\u00a0 He gave him a wink.\u00a0 &#8220;You are very hot when you go full Assassin pissed off Mate mode.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;You hired these guys?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Well no I wouldn&#8217;t waste my money!\u00a0 Besides total amateurs.&#8221;\u00a0 He slid up to his Mate pulling him down for a kiss.\u00a0 &#8220;But still hot, when you slam through the enemy like a damn freight train.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;No making out!&#8221;\u00a0 Fili yelled as they walked into the warehouse.\u00a0 &#8220;Wait until innocent eyes are not present.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thorin glared at his boys.\u00a0 &#8220;And who would these innocent eyes belong to, not you two.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kili glanced around.\u00a0 &#8220;I see freight train dad came through.&#8221;\u00a0 He kicked at some dust, then made sure to take the head of the one left who&#8217;s neck was broken.\u00a0 &#8220;Nothing outside, so you two are free to make out &#8230;
