Turns dark

“Micah let’s get her!” Dutch ordered and smiling he spoke, “It’s been a while since we had a woman’s company!” Javier looked up nursing his injured wounds before snapping, “Don’t you dare even try Micah, don’t even touch her!” Micah grabbed his revolver and holstering it spoke, “Why shouldn’t we? She is a woman; we are men in, she suits our needs!” “So is that what we are now? Rapists, what next? child slavery? Dog butchers? We can’t sink much lower but Mary-Beth doesn’t deserve it!” Dutch placed his hand on Javier’s shoulder as he spoke, “She won’t receive any harm, just like before...” John spat on his rifle and scrubbing the blood off it spoke, “She never did last time, Tilly yes, Karen yes, Abigail before Jack yes, even Molly did but Mary believed in romance and when James came fell in love with him!” Micah snorted before smiling spoke, “More of a reason to, show we ain’t messing!” John shook his head before protesting, “Well I won’t, not to Mary, she don’t deserve this and you do it; James will guts us all, fuck his protocol he will make sure we suffer outside of the law!” Dutch mounted his horse before looking back spoke, “Don’t worry my son, I will make sure she is fine!” and watching them ride off John snapped, “Utter horseshit!” Javier nodded before saying, “Unfortunately we are stuck with them; we have to make sure Mary isn’t harmed!” “Harmed? Javier with Micah here she will be treated as nothing more than a two-dollar whore!” Javier looked down before agreeing ordered, “Well we will have to protect her!” “This was too easy!” Micah laughed riding back with Mary hogtied protesting, “What’s that Mary?” Micah spat removing her gag, “Why are you doing this to me? I never did anything to harm you!” Micah laughed before shouting, “After what James did to our gang! Killing four of our members, he deserves it!” Mary looked at Dutch pleadingly before saying, “It’s his job, you are outlaws and he is a law enforcer...his job is to catch or kill the criminals, no matter how you see it, he is still doing a job! I wanted him to leave it and move on but you rode straight on through. Your bounty is staggering and all over America, he had ****!” Dutch looked down before stating, “We just want a truce! He has something we want and I have something he wants!” “He will rip you apart just for taking me!” and laughing Micah snapped putting the gag back in her mouth, “Wait until later...he will really get mad!” “Micah no!” “Dutch, we have the resources, the men need relief” “No you want relief, Javier maybe...John wants nothing to do with it!” “You’ve always liked her...” Dutch nodded before responding with, “That’s right but I respect their relationship, he never tried to seduce Molly, he actually stopped Sean and others from forcing their attentions on her and I know how he feels towards her...I felt the same a time or two ago!” whilst they rode into camp.

The tent screamed as Micah and Dutch **** Mary to receive everything they wanted, “Take it you whore!” Micah would bark and hearing and slap John looked away as the screams grew louder and the cries for help shook John to his bones, “James please! John, Dutch please!” John tried to blank them but her cries remained in his head” “John your turn!” Javier spoke doing his jacket up, “Bleeding much is it? Given her enough ****? Too loose is she? You promised to protect her and now what...what state will she be in when she gets returned to James? You all planned this... does it make you feel big? Feel big to pick on her!” John mounted his horse as he heard “John...” Dutch spoke, “No fuck off...Another victim because of us... the most honourable you can do is give me Mary-Beth and let her be taken home” he looked over to the crying woman, bleeding and bruised body, “John...” John looked down before saying, “Loyalty Dutch. Loyalty to all and we defend our family from each other and outsiders; if this is your loyalty then James was right... We don’t deserve to be free and one of the few who did nothing wrong ever, innocent of charges gets the punishment” he rode away leaving the members and coughing Javier spat more blood up, “We need to leave.”

I had returned from a long night investigating the **** of two people near the road and bringing the criminals back to the cells stopped as we saw an familiar horse and Lenny marching out with John, “Considered it have you?” John rushed to me and in handing me his gun spoke, “James it’s Mary...” “What do you mean it’s Mary, where is she?” John looked down before saying, “Dutch has her!” I stood there weary of my next question but John answered it first, “She is in bad shape...they have been using her!” I growled and putting my badge away spoke, “That’s it they are dead!” I pulled I threw my hat to the ground and pulling my hood up hood, “She as been **** James and quite badly...I don’t know what you will find!” I looked behind me and seeing Sadie walk out with Abigail Abigail slapped him before slapping him again as she yelled, “Where were you... I had to prostitute myself for Jack and almost died if James never stopped the man, whilst you ran away!” she wailed and nodding John spoke, “I know and I deserve that, I wasn’t ready to be a father” “Jack doesn’t even remember you, ha thinks James is his father despite what we say to tell him it’s not true!” he looked at me before saying, “Thank you for caring for her and Jack!” I didn’t care I was angry and pacing back and for snapped, “Why didn’t you stop them or rescue her?” I yelled kicking him and punching him heard John yell, “Six guns against two... you can’t blame me!” I nodded before seeing Sadie mount her horse spoke, “Let’s go get her, Charles, Lenny mount up!” I looked over to Haytham who nodding out a deputy badge onto Karen, “Do what I say and we won’t have a problem!” before looking over to the other deputies behind them, “You coming John?” I barked, “Or do we have to do this by ourselves?” “Yeah, I’m coming; if it earns your trust I will!” he kissed Abigail before mounting up raced away with us following the track he took, “I can’t guarantee the they will still be here!” “It’s a start” Sadie spoke and taking the lead we quickly followed onwards.
