Red Dead Redemption: Reborn
Chapter 11
To Mexico
The news started to spread around fast as now everyone knows that John Marston is indeed alive and tried to kill Edgar Ross. With Bonnie holding on to me and almost the whole part of the west now knows that I'm alive, I think the best place to go right now to hide is Mexico.
Little words were shared between me and Bonnie as I continued to travel to Mexico, I reckon I will hide out there until the heat goes down.
"John, I thought you took care of your problem with Ross?" Bonnie said just as I crossed the border from America to Mexico.
"Yeah, I did kinda, I sent him a message that John Marston is still alive and he didn't get the job done at all." I said as we took a right and continued down the desert trail. The best place to be right now is Chuparosa, at least I have a place there we can stay for awhile. After another 30 minutes passed by, we stopped at Chuparosa and settled down once I talked to some of the locals as best as I can. What I can understand is that they were talking about Landon Ricketts and how he was a great man. Or at least thats what I got from the very little Spanish that I know. After all was set, I showed Bonnie my small place as we sat down and breathed in a sigh of relief, at least we are safe for now.
"Well, we are safe for now." I finally said but I knew that Bonnie wouldn't take it so well.
"Safe John? I don't think you knew what you were doing back in Blackwater." She said as her anger was starting to show.
"Now Bonnie, you know what I've been through these past few weeks and this was the best thing I could do right now." I said.
"But now your in more trouble then ever before now John! You just don't understand that getting revenge on someone isn't going to make you happy. You have to realize that there are certain things in this world that you just have to walk away from!" He said but I just looked the other way.
"You don't understand Bonnie, nobody understands what I've had to endure. I thought I was dead but I'm not. I heard news that Ross murdered my wife and child because he was afraid that they will get revenge on him. And Ricketts was retired from his old days and still Ross had to shoot him down. And for what? Nothing more then fame and fortune for good old Edgar Ross. I'm not the kind of man that sits by as his friends are getting killed by a man that doesn't deserve shit!" I told her.
"But John, this isn't just about you now. It's like a whole different John is talking with me now. What ever happened to the man that would actually think about what is going to happen if he takes certain actions?" Bonnie said as I stood up.
"That man is still here Bonnie. You just don't understand my life. All my life I was a troublemaker to everyone and when I thought things were going well, I was back stabbed from my own gang and left for dead. I decided to leave that all behind and just settle down with my family. But then one day, Edgar Ross came to me and said that I had to stop my old gang from making anymore trouble or I will never see my family again. You know how hard it was for me to realize that everyday I was out alone, I might never see my family again? It hurts. I did what I was told to do and I could see my family again. But I guess that my past is the reason why Ross decided once and for all to kill me right then and there and just because I was a former member of a gang that means nothing anymore. I felt Death take my hand but then, I think God stepped in and decided to make things right. When I woke up and stumbled out of the grave, I felt like shit. I have never felt this much pain in my life. I knew I was crippled in some way so I got my horse and just tried to make it somewhere, anywhere that can heal me. I ended up here when Ricketts was still alive. THis is not my battle anymore Bonnie, this is something different now." I said as I walked outside, leaving Bonnie behind.
I decided that I was going to think about this for a long time. I just walked around on the rooftops, thinking of what I can do right now. I could wait it out but then again, I don't have chances to waste anymore. I have to get rid of Ross once and for all. Even if it costs me my own life.
