I'll repeat All the Sadie/Sarah scenes.. those two finally get focused on at the John chapters..
FIRST CAMP;
Sarah sees Sadie give a false concerned voice to him, telling Kieren "you must be hungry."
"I am." Kieren admitted, weakly.
"I'll leave it here then." Sadie said, and then drops the false sympathy and coldly pours the bowl of stew on the grass.
"On the ground! Where the other O'Driscoll's left my husband!" Sadie cried angrily and stormed off. Sarah decides to still run after her as Arthur, Bill and Dutch approach Kieren.
"You're starting to creep me out." Sadie said annoyedly, as she saw Sarah trying to follow her.
"Dutch said we should bunk together. I wanted to get to know you." Sarah said, nicely as she could, even though Sadie wasn't being the same.
"Yes, yes, I heard all that, I heard what you said, and I don't trust it. I mean, I never met you lady, so how the fuck are you my cousin!?" Sadie cried, quite rudely actually.
"No need to curse Sadie, I'm a.. Distant one." Sarah replied.
"Whatever you say blondie." Sadie said dryly, and she combed some of her long blonde hair while sitting on a tree stump, the same one used to chop firewood, as the axe leaning against it is dropped down as she sits, making a noise. Sadie's ironically blonde hair is much darker than Amber's. Darker than Seras's even. ''Well I..'' Sarah starts but suddenly she stops as she spots Bill run near them, grabbing some tongs from a fire while laughing, and then runs back, not seeing the girls.
Sarah Amber follows Bill with her face and eyes, and sees Bill threaten to cut off Kieren's penis with the hot thong, which is an interrogation method, though I personally don't believe actually would have done it. The scare tactic works, and Kieren reveals the location of an O'Driscoll camp. Arthur, Bill and John Marston ride out to it, Kieren riding with them on John's horse.
"Hmm." Sarah said to herself, and turned back to Sadie to see her gone from the spot, she looked around and saw Sadie heading to the corner and sitting by herself, having grabbed some canned beans from Pearson's shelf of supplies, remembering she never actually ate anything yet. Sarah sighs to herself. This isn't off to a great start.
"feeling lonely are we? I can help with that." Came a familiar voice.
"Not happening Micah." Sadie said in a deadpan tone, not even turning to him and heads to the stew pot, collecting some of the stew herself. Micah gives one of his chuckles and goes up to do the same after she walks off.
CAMP 2;
Sarah finds Sadie Adler arguing with Pearson, the camp cook, to the point she pulls a knife on him threatening to cut him open over a minor sexist comment that really isn't to offensive, least for the time. Sarah manages to break them apart and brings Sadie on a shopping trip in Rhodes. Once arriving, Sadie wants to rob the store but Sarah says they are simply customers today, no guns. Sadie groans annoyedly.
However, once outside Sarah finds someone trapped in the basement of the gunsmith and tells Sadie they 'are' gonna rob someone. And they force the gunsmith to bring them to the basement, Sarah frees the hostage, and lets him escape. However, the gunsmith breaks down and reveals that his real son died in a tragic accident when he was showing him to shoot a rifle (the blowback from the rifle caused his son to get thrown into the river where he was washed away) and he was keeping the man prisoner and having him dress as his son out of guilt for his son's accidental death. The prisoner refuses to be so sympathetic. And neither does Sadie Adler, who actually goes upstairs and empties out the register. Sarah feels weird about it, but doesn't stop her.
Worse still as the ladies ride back, the Levine Raiders attempt to rob them, recognizing Sarah Amber. Sarah tries to defuse the situation peacefully, but unexpectedly Sadie pulls out her Cattleman and begins a gunfight against them, which the girls quickly win and ride back. On the bright side, Sadie does finally start becoming more friendly and open to her cousin.
The girls bring the stagewagon of food and other supplies back to Pearson. Sarah goes over to her and Sadie's tent and takes a nap. Walking by Javier punching a drunk Micah in the face, after he made racist jokes about Mexico.
CAMP ONE;
Sarah wakes up early, having that awkward moment where you just kinda stare around when nobody else is up. But from Sadie's tent, Sadie's quiet snore keeps her awake. She looks around; she's still in Dutch's camp at Horseshoe Overlook. An empty pot of land just near the town of Valentine, where Dutch's gang set up their camp. She discreetly checked the time on her phone. 5am.
Sarah carefully got up, and decided she might as well get an early start, and gave herself another tour and she explored the camp carefully not to wake anyone, especially as a good few had no tents and were using sleeping bags around the camp. On the bright side, there was still that pot of coffee next to one of the fires, and she poured out a cup. Black, but can't have everything. But as she does so, suddenly her modern phone rumbles from her pocket, she thankfully has no ringtone so it just vibrates in her pocket. Sarah runs towards a nearby forest just outside of the camp so nobody sees her, and she answers it, somehow not spilling her cup as she accidentally presses facetime rather than a regular call. But decides to go with it anyway.
"You're okay, thank god." Carly replied in relief.
"I'm fine." Sarah said, showing her some of the camp from the phone. Getting a sleeping Lenny in the shot by accident.
"It's kinda beautiful." Carly replied.
"Yes, the leader, Dutch, said it's a place called Horseshoe Overlook. Some empty bit of land the other leader Hosea found for them to hide out in." Sarah said.
"You find her?" Johnny asked, entering into the room.
"Hi Johnny." Sarah said quietly.
"Hey. You alright?" Johnny responded.
"Not so loud, they might hear you." Sarah said. Carly and Johnny node.
"Anyway. I met Sadie.. I introduced myself as her cousin. Dutch bought it, but Sadie clearly doesn't.. She's kinda rude actually.. But I'm giving it time."
"Always best." Carly replied quietly.
"Least that Lenny guy has been really sweet, so has Charles and Marybeth.. Dutch and Arthur have been really kind to me two, honestly makes Dutch's future really tragic." Sarah said quietly.
"It does. No one's really born crazy." Carly replied.
"Still though, what the fuck happened, why am I in 1899?" Sarah cried in a whisper yell.
"Woah, you really were drunk weren't you." Johnny teased.
"I must've been." Sarah responded
"A professor I know.. He said you came in hammered and threw yourself into a time machine for no direct reason near as he could tell.. Well you gave a reason, but you also called yourself Princess Ketchup so it wasn't very reliable." Carly explained.
"Damn." Sarah responded.
"So yeah. When you come back, please don't go into any more time machines." Carly teased.
"Just get me home." Sarah said dryly.
"And where might that be?" came a new voice, Sarah spins around to see Micah Bell stepping out from behind a few trees, facing her. Holding a Repeater Carbine he was using to keep watch of the camp.. He never sleeps anyway, maybe six hours at the most. Because of this, they never bothered making a bed for him. Though he sometimes sleeps underneath a tree.
"M Micah.. Hey." Sarah said nervously. Still holding the phone and Carly ends up seeing him from the screen. Micah's nose is still bandaged up from when Sarah hit him with her gun, but he's otherwise in good health.
Micah looked at the phone looking at Carly who was face timing.
"H Hello." Carly said awkwardly.
"What is this Amber? I knew there was something off about you. New York my ass."
New York is where Sarah claimed to be from, when actually it's Vice City. Well she was born and grew up in San Andreas, but likes to say she's from Vice, even though it's only been since she was 19. And met Tommy almost immediately at arriving, so she barely even got to really explore the city.
"I.. I come from the future." Sarah admittedly reluctantly.
"So, Mrs Future, are you a spy?" Micah asked, not joking either.
Sarah doesn't respond, which angers Micah. Without warning he suddenly draws the Repeater Carbine, and fires into her stomach. Poor Sarah falls onto her back, the gunshot waking everyone up. Her coffee spilled over the ground.
"Are you a fucking spy!?" Micah cried violently. Sarah again doesn't respond. Micah picks up the phone, demanding answers out of Carly. Who simply just ends the facetime call, exiting herself from the conflict. Micah turns his attention back to Sarah, and prepares to kill her with the gun, but suddenly Dutch steps in front of him. "Enough Micah!" Dutch cried sternly, almost fatherly even.
"She's from the future!" Micah cried.
"She's one of us, future or not." Dutch said, taking away Micah's gun, and sending him to Dutch's tent, like he was punishing a child. Micah swears under his breath annoyedly and walks over. Dutch picks Sarah up, taking her to Susan Grimshaw who would take out a medkit, and operates on her, and she rests on Arthur's bed, as he and the Dutch are the only ones with mattresses. She ends up spending the night on it, Arthur himself goes over to Valentine and rents a room so he would have a place to sleep for the night.
"I warned you Dutch, Micah is a problem." John Marston said.
"Micah is just a little trigger happy, but he's a good man." Dutch said nievely.
"Whatever you say boss." John replied, unconvinced.
Dutch examines Sarah's phone, as I'm sure anyone would at the time. But ultimately gives it back to her, sensing it was important.
Grimshaw stayed with Sarah til she fell asleep. As despite her rude tough love demeanor not exactly making her the most likable woman in the world. She's still the team mom. Like how Hosea Matthews is the team dad, though Hosea is admittedly a lot more likable and friendly.
A few days later, Sarah Amber manages to recover, still wearing some bandages under her clothes. She's seen looking at the lake, commenting to herself how beautiful this spot is. Suddenly she's approached by Sadie Adler. ''Hey.. So guess I really am a ancher.'' Sadie said, finally over her rough outer shell.
''Am I really you anchester?'' Sadie asked, Amber nodes. ''I have so many questions about the future.'' Sadie said. Amber smiles happily to herself.
''I nicknamed myself Sadie.. Always looked up to you.''
