Yes

“Fine!” he pulled it up before pushing me out of the way began to interrogate him, “Please sir, he isn’t well!” the woman spoke as we heard Arthur snap, “We should take all this equipment just to cover your down payment!” “Please I’m trying. Just a bit more time!” I looked to the woman who pleading to me spoke, “Please!” I looked at her before looking at Arthur beat the man I asked, “How much is the down payment?” “$100” I nodded before pulling it out from my roll of cash spoke, “Right, I’ll pay it and you can owe me after you’ve paid the loan off. Hear’s an extra $25!” she nodded before kissing my cheek gratefully spoke, “Thank you. Thank you!” “Now get this thing up and running!” she nodded handing him the money, “Andrew we have the money!” Arthur growled before kicking once again snapped, “Next time don’t cough over me!” “Luckily you were wearing mask!” I bragged “ Jacob let’s get out of here!” I nodded before shrugging spoke, “Whilst you go back and finish packing, I will head to Valentine in my ‘official capacity’; to see what I can find out!” “Alright. And here’s your share!” “Keep it and give it to Mary!” he nodded before heading off in the opposite direction I headed on back to Valentine attaching my badge to my vest and slipped my hat back on readied myself to dig into Valentines crime scene.

Hours later and readying the carts Charles rode back in to the camp with news of their new and altered position, “Alright then let’s go...” Dutch ordered watching everyone mount up, “What about James?” Mary queried, “He tracked us before, he’ll do it again!” “Not if we actually cover our tracks properly!” Arthur snarled looking to Bill and Javier, “Don’t worry about me!” James spoke riding into the former campground, “I found out what I needed to find out... shit, a big lot of shit!” “What happened?” Hosea asked petting Alice as James quickly dismounted with Arthur lighting an cigarette listening in, “Cornwall is furious. He is going to be throwing in even more money to get you all and even more resources. They didn’t get my description as the shooter on the roof which is a bonus to me but the Pinkleton’s are now sniffing around, what’s left of the town are all looking for you and have given me and others descriptions, lucky for you Arthur they just said ‘It’s Arthur Morgan’ and described the others. John, Strauss I would keep your head down and I mean way down for now!” “But what about the money from the cattle rustling?” John asked and laughing I spoke, “If that’s the attitude then why don’t you just go and turn yourself in right now?! Because that’s the equivalent!” “Good work James!” Hosea spoke I nodded before climbing up to the woman’s wagon asked, “You okay?” “We’ve fine James!” I nodded before mounting the wagon stated, “I’ll drive this one, Charles you take Alice” “What? She’s gonna buck me!” “Alice behave!” the horse looked over to me before looking back waited for Charles’ bulkier weight to mount her, “Told you!” he nodded before cautiously riding off to lead the group I thrashed the reigns to start the horses felt the delicate hand on my gloved saw her nervously smile at me before looking back to the road as we rode in silence for at least part of the way.

“James...” Mary muttered as they rode past the burnt house, “Yeah?” “I’m... worried. We don’t usually head this far East and we don’t usually move in this short space of time!” James looked back at her before stating, “I said it isn’t good and I just don’t understand their logic. They want to shake the law off but instead of laying low they rob a train... I would be worried when you have these idiots planning and making the decisions! At least Hosea is being smart or trying to be!” Hosea looked back before nodding slowed up to join our side as he stated in agreement, “I understand what you are saying. It concerns me as much as you!” “The thing is we both see the same thing. The end, my version is the woman are safe and a few others and the rest are hung or shot. You see it as everyone escaping!” “If only you know what I thought about this” he was cut off by James’ hands being raised to silence him before nodding spoke, “We have people tailing us!” “I’ll warn the others!” James shook his head before handing the reigns to Mary stated pulling his hood up and removing his badge, “I’ll handle this!” before sliding off clutching his rifle. He watched as the four horseman stopped to dismount and shout at the man blocking their path but ignoring them he stated, “Who are you?” “We are the Lemoyne Raiders and these are our roads and your settlement haven’t paid the toll!” “No one owns a road!” “We do!” “Ahh so I get it, I’m dealing with idiots!” they held their rifles up but being met by two quick shots killing two of them, James took cover behind one of the dying Raiders before flicking his wrist stabbed the next as he used the gun from the next victim to kill the last one. He looked back as Charles rode up with Lenny but seeing the man simply clean his blade spoke, “So you have another gang to worry about, more organised as well!” “Who are they?” Charles asked, “Lemoyne Raiders. A bunch of jobless thugs from the civil war, who don’t want to accept it’s over!” they nodded before seeing Alice stopping in front of him, “Come on we’d better go otherwise Mary will worry!” they laughed as he mounted the horse and seeing began to follow Charles to the spot ignoring the bodies whilst taking the spare mounts with them, with luck they would be worth something.
