Chapter 5

"Hey! What are you two doing?" I yelled as they jumped and quickly gained their attention. They turned over to me and I saw one push the other in front of him.


"H-Hey! Who-who are you-u?" The one in front said as he stumbled over his words and visibly shook.


"Are you questioning me, do you even know who the hell I am? Who the hell are you anyways?!" I demanded getting up into both of their faces.


"N-no sir! Ma'm, Ma'm!" He said backing up a little bit before eventually falling over his friend knocking both of them over and onto the ground. "Agent Milton told us to watch the bounty until he was able to send someone up to collect him."


"Where the hell is he? I'm here to collect him" I growled gripping onto his tie.


"They brought him up to a camp up in the cliffs! I swear I don't know anything else!" He cried as tiny tears ran from his eyes. I gripped onto his tie and his green eyes looked up at me in fear.


"Well, get up now! We are not animals." I snarled angrily as I let go of the bounty hunters, attempting to keep up the pissed-off officer.


"We're sorry ma'am." They both muttered as they scrambled to get up.


"I will forgive you but only if you turn around." I said as Arthur and Javier went up behind them with knives out. Both of them turned around only to get a knife into the gut or throat.


"Come on! There's some more up the canyon." Javier said as they grabbed their guns and ran behind some rocks.


"I'm gonna head up to the camp and see if I can get eyes on Sean. Try not to shoot me boys. Give me a couple of minutes to get up there before you start going trigger happy." I said looking out to see two hunters standing there.


"We will head in once we see you on top of the hill." Arthur said with a wave of his hand. I gave him a small nod and started charging up the canyon. I didn't care about hiding, they wouldn't give a second thought. The two bounty hunters looked over at me for a second before turning back to their conversation.


I quickly made my way up, none of the bounty hunters questioning me further. Once I reached the top of the canyon, I walked over to the edge and looked down into it and saw Javier and Arthur looking up at me. They jumped out from behind the rocks and began shooting at the two guards. I jumped slightly when I heard gunshots behind me. Yelling and screaming from the shock of the bounty hunters caused some of them to start firing at me. I ran and slid behind a large pile of wooden boxes in hope of some cover.


I saw Charles firing away at some of the hunters and I could faintly hear both Arthur's and Javier's voices over the gunshots and screaming. I ripped my gun from my holster and quickly shot up from the cover.


I shot at them, in an attempt to take some of the heat from Charles and onto me, which would give him the chance to get Javier and Arthur up here once they cleared the small canyon.


My eyes watched as they ran and fell in various places. I could hear Charles, Arthurs, and Javier's voice coming up behind me as they fanned out and joined me in shooting.


"Maybe we should just turn Sean in ourselves." Charles said over the gunshots.


"How about we focus on getting out of here first and alive in one piece. Then we can talk about your friends bounty."

"Arthur!" A ginger irish man said with a slight groan as we walked up to him. Arthur, ignoring the man, walked up without a word and cut the rope. Sean to hit the ground with a slight thud before looking up at us.


"Ya know, your a lot less ugly from that other angle Arthur." Sean shot as he waited for Arthur to cut the rope around his feet.


"Come on!" Arthur said as he pulled Sean up from the dirt. Sean looked over at him with his arms out and a slight smirk.


"Don't I get a hug Arthur. A warm embrace for a lost brother, now found."


"You know, nothing means more to me than this gang. Bond we share, it's the most real thing to me. I would kill for it, and I would then die for it. But in spite of it all, I would have easily left you here to rot, if Charles hadn't stopped me."


"I don't believe a word of that Arthur."


"Get him out of here!"


"Your a great man Arthur Morgan. The kind that a young whippersnapper would really admire."


"Oh shut up"


"My, my, you boys really are like a family. Bickering like two brothers." I said slightly under my breath. Javier and Charles must have heard me a little because both of them laughed as the two bickered endlessly.


"Who the hell is this? Damn Pinkertons are letting women join the ranks. You guys are bringing in former government agents, she could be a spy." Sean said jumping at my voice slightly.


"Former Pinkerton actually. But no, not a spy. Arthur and Charles invited on a mission to save your sorry irish ass." I said whistling for my horse, before laughing slightly. "Never told me that you and Arthur were this close. But while I am sorry to say this, but we should really get going. God knows how long it's gonna take before the Pinkertons show up and I can't stop all of them."


"Right, Sean you ride with Javier, Y/n do you think that you can lead us back. It might seem less suspicious that we follow you rather than the other way around." Arthur said nodding to me and Alea.


"Sure! Where are you guys camped up? I can bring you right to the outside of your camp and then head home." I said as we jumped onto our horses.


"Horseshoe overlook, do you know where that is?" Charles said as he moved his horse towards mine.


"Yeah, I do. I know a quick way to get over there, the only thing is that it's a bit of a bumpy ride. We will go through cougar territory, but only for a couple of minutes."


"Lead the way Y/n, we will follow you."
