Grave mistake

“Feeling better?” “A lot, Thank you! You always looked after us!” “Someone had to!” “I remember when Susan slapped Mary and you went for her!” “No one touches Mary, Micah almost got shot because of it” “You two are perfect you know. She is the coolant to your fury, she is the opposite to you which is important, you also look like one her guys from her fantasy novels: a brave man but has a cute lover which he protects and despite what he does to people he stops when he is with her. Her latest is pretty cool actually; she started writing it in prison; it’s about the whole situation, you will probably been shown as lean, tough and devilishly sexy!” “Or am I just like that in your imagination?” she snorted before kissing me spoke, “I know you like Mary but if you ever find yourself alone, I will be there for you!” that was sudden and leaving the cart journey to be quiet I thought about ways to start the conversation up again to ignore what had happened, “Mary can’t have children...” “I’m sorry to hear that, why?” “Her Sheriff “Friend” did want the child so cut it out messily in a drunken rage!” she wrapped her arm around me before looking down spoke, “I’m sorry to hear that, she didn’t deserve that; neither of you did” I looked away before saying, “I remember being at Horseshoe Overlook and laying for hours by the fire discussion babies names and talk about everything else such as: godparents, jobs and the rest; seems all irrelevant now!” “Just don’t do anything impulsive!” “I will try but if I see him then who knows what happens!” “If you want a child in the future... me or Sadie would probably being the surrogate for you, I doubt Karen will live much longer with the amount she drinks!” “Why do you think I have tied her to a chair for? Her hands can’t touch it!” and as we parked up and I helped the woman down, “I will take care of the beer, you get the supplies from the store and throwing her a bag of coins she nodded walking off.

I walked up to the counter and dropping the coins onto the counter he retrieved them from his seller and loading the crates onto the wagons returned inside the tavern hearing the drunken antics of the Sheriff who was sat back talking drunkenly to the women, “Is your Sheriff always like this?” “Why does it matter to you?” I showed him my badge as he asked, “What are you doing so far away from your territory?” “I am on the look for Dutch Van De Linde’s old gang members so I can track the new gang down! I heard he let two slip!” “They were helped!” “Amateur!” I walked up to his table and sitting opposite him he stared judging until I showed my badge, “What are you doing so far away from your district?” “I am trying to find Dutch’s old gang, hoping to track him down; but I heard you let two members escape!” “I never let them they were broken free!” “I also heard you had let then ten men guarding them!” “It’s enough” “You fool with what they know and the likelihood of them confessing what they know to spare the rope, it was always going to happen!” “I will catch them both of them?” I thought about it as I spoke, "Do you remember a woman by the name of Mary-Beth?" leaning back against my chair, "That's one of the women on the run! Seen her Sheriff?" "Quickly let's go somewhere quiet!" he nodded and following me outside a fair time later to behind the hotel he leaned in, "What do you know?" It was then when I pushed him against the wall **** him with my forearm as I spat sticking my blade against his chest, "You shouldn't have touched Mary-Beth like that!" "Who are you?" "I am her partner and you made a mistake even going near her...stabbing, cutting the baby out, now that is a grave mistake!" "She deserved it for being an whore!" I stuck my blade into his chest, "I promised I wouldn't do this again but with someone like you I just can't help myself!" and stabbing him repeatedly cut away at his organs pulling them out, “Mary is not a 2-dollar whore” and carving the words "****", "murderer", "Breaker of Law!" cleaned my blade to see Tilly watch in shock, "That is the last time he touched Mary!"

“Tilly what’s wrong?” Tilly sat there as they watched the blood trickle from my sleeves, “What happened? James! What happened?” Mary-Beth growled and pulling me to face her stated, “The Sheriff won’t be a problem anymore!” “What did you do?” “He butchered him, did the exact same thing to him as he did you!” I burnt my jacket and gloves before putting my fresh pair spoke, “He said you were an whore and my blade slipped!” Mary slapped me before growling snapped, “You promised no more needless killings! You said freeing those who needed it and then only what is part of your job!” “I know! It’s just I saw him and thought about what he did to you...I couldn’t stop myself” she smiled faintly before hugging me spoke, “Thank you but you have to stop! What would your brotherhood think?” “Actually...they would think I was right he is corrupt and is probably loosely associated with the Templar’s!” “You fool, we will have to move tomorrow, I doubt it I covered our scent on the way back going through the shallow rivers and and muddy water part!” “Where do we go next? Because Abigail is any easy pick up?” “Tilly and Mary will head north to Annesburg! Find her but don’t engage unless she is in trouble! We will head to St Denis!” they nodded and seeing Mary grab my hand I nodded taking her hand, “You want too?” Lenny asked and smiling Tilly spoke, “It could be worse!” and nodding Sadie sat by the fire looking at her picture of Arthur and her from one of the few times they were together, “I miss you Arthur!” “Hey Sadie want to join in?” “What?” “Well Mary deserves all the attention? I think the both of us can handle her!” “Who handles me?” “We will soon see!” Mary stated copying me in poking my head out spoke, “Well let’s find out!”
