Mini reunion

we rode up to the camp and seeing Mary lifting another crate groaned causing me to jump down and immediately help her, "Where is she?" Mary groaned before indicating to the one remaining tent and smiling cried, "Sadie Adler!" Sadie hugged her before correctly her said, "Sadie Morgan, I thought a new last name would you know prevent people from raising questions! Now help me get out of this damn contraption!" Mary laughed before seeing me roll my eyes snapped, "No more **** for her got it?" Sadie saw the feet of Karen and pulling my gun out said, "There is only one way to wake Karen up in that state trust me!" and firing a round a few metres away from the tent the feet immediately jumped and Karen to roll out, "Don't do that James, jeez you almost gave me an hea…" and seeing Sadie walk off said, "Is it Sadie?" I nodded before collapsing the tent snapped, "We are going to New Hanover and we need you to be there with us mentally. So, sober up because you are our diversion whilst we get Tilly and Lenny out! Got it? GOT IT?" she nodded before clutching her head said, "I'm sorry it's just I don't like think about what happened!" I laughed before calling her out said, "What about the other hundreds of bottles that you have drank?" she looked down and nodding I said, "Exactly, now come on and you know what?" I grabbed the last remaining the bottles and throwing them down the hill said, "You are going to clean your act up or else! Arthur would have wanted it, so do it!" "Why do you care? You aren't him, he was the only one that did. In his grumpy way he always tried to help but he is gone now! He could have kept us together, he would have but after Hosea and you left he was all by his god damn self, I curse you for leaving! you should have stayed!" It was then when Sadie walking out adjusting her coat said, "He 'wasn't part of us, he had no responsibility to care on what happened to us' I believe that is what Dutch told him numerous times, he could have stayed but when you aren't wanted by those you are trying to help, why should you? Karen he warned us all he said there was likely a rat and even on times believed it was Micah. He knew it was either Bill, Javier or Micah but no one listened not Dutch, not Hosea and not even Arthur!" and sitting back I remembered that day in Shady Belle...

Flashback:

“Dutch listen to me someone is a rat! Hosea, Arthur I know it!” Dutch lit a cigar before laughing said, “We have had bad luck recently, nothing that can be helped!” causing me to snap, “And why do you think that is? Every time you try something, it goes wrong. Listen to me as part of my training I learnt how to sniff out when a traitor was part of the brotherhood, I can see from their actions, gestures and attitudes. So listen to me when I say this: someone is a rat!” Hosea taking an more serious attitude to the claims said, “Who do you think it is?” as Dutch walked off laughing at the idea, “It’s one of three Javier, Bill or Micah. Bill seems too stupid to not cock up somewhere, Micah’s overconfidence, willingness to help Dutch, cause division and cold attitude is a sign and Javier never seems to be around when you want him to be!” Arthur looked at me and laughing said, “And you? You aren’t part of us but part of an brotherhood who hate our kind, no everyone who isn’t them and is causing diversion. A sheriff as well, how do we know it isn’t you?” I laughed before simply saying, “My people defend innocents and that is what I am doing now. I couldn’t give a shit about the men because apart for Pearson you are all murdering criminals who hurt innocents despite your claims. I am defending the women: Mary-Beth who couldn’t hurt anyone, Tilly who hasn’t done anything technically illegal and Abigail because Jack needs a mother, I am doing this for Molly who hasn’t done anything there is a reason why nearly all the men have a bounty. If I was here for self interests I would have grabbed Mary and marched right out of here. Mary here is the only non-duty reason for me to be here. Yes I am part of the police **** but I have been covering your tracks and not sending my forces out anywhere near your direction. Have you seen any of my men? No!” the rest who were there stopped as I snapped, “If you are constantly moving and I am covering your tracks someone in here must be an informer for them to find you so fast! Listen to logic not loyalty!” I was only stopped by Mary’s cries, “Get away from me Micah!” she rushed out the door to be pulled back towards him, “Come on just a one off, he doesn’t have to...know” and stopping I threw him against the wall and growling smashed his head against the wall before he retaliated with an knee into my groin, I dodged his swing and kneeing him in the ribs several times sweeped his leg to taking him off his feet and landing several brutal kicks into his ribs started to pummel his face before being separated from him by Bill, Charles and Lenny as Micah laughed, “She isn’t part of your gang, part of ours what happens to her is none of your business!” I drew my gun and seeing Mary stand in front of me she begged, “Don’t do it please, look at me! James look at me, remember what Lewis said, think with your head not your emotions!” I lowered it and nodding holstered my gun as she hugged me, “It’s okay and thank you!” Micah in the meantime return with an annoyed Dutch who snapped, “Get out of my camp, you even come near us and I will shoot you on sight, we don’t need or want you here!” I looked at them before looking at Mary she nodded hugging me again, “If anything happens to you I will **** every single male here, I swear it!” Arthur who sitting there spoke, “Nothing will me, Charles and John will make sure!” I nodded before taking a breath said, “One of them is a rat and if you don’t listen to what’s staring you right in your face, it won’t end well for any of you!” Hosea looked down before nodding tapped my shoulder as he said, “Don’t worry about us son, you speak with passion not wisdom. Go back to your job and maybe one day you will try and prove it!” I looked at him before saying, “Or maybe one day your ignorance will cause you to ride into a moving train!” and whistling for my horse said, “Mary you know where I am stationed! I am done with this, good luck because I am actually going to do my job from now on. Any crimes committed will not be covered, any one of your men spotted near Rhodes Hanover will be arrested and hung, maybe then you will understand what I was actually doing for you!” and riding off left them alone
