Chapter-The Break out
Colt and Lenny ride into Valentine. They see Arthur off of a man. Colt and Lenny hitch their horses and walk over to Arthur and Dutch, who was talking with a man. Arthur looks at him. "Colt Lenny," Arthur says. Dutch turns and looks at them.
"You find anything?" Dutch as Colt as Javier and Charles came over.
"I found out that Sean is alive," Colt tells him. The man with them nods.
"I found out the same thing. Josiah Trelawny," Trelawny says to him.
"Colt Morgan," Colt says to Trelawny, who looks at Arthur and then back at Colt.
"Oh. You're Mr. Morgan's long lost brother," Trelawny says. Colt nods.
"Look Charles head to Blackwater and scout it out. Javier, you go with Trelawny. Arthur join them when your ready," Dutch says. The men nod. Javier Charles and Trelawny leave.
"Bill walk Lenny over to the doctor's he popped his shoulder out of place," Colt says to Bill, who nods as he walks away.
"Where's Micah?" Dutch asks Lenny.
"Colt will explain it to you," Lenny says as they walk away.
"Bring him back to camp when you're done," Dutch says to Bill, who nods.
"Where's Micah?" Dutch asks Colt.
"Let's head back to camp. I'll explain there," Colt tells the two men who nod. They all get back on their horses and head out of Valentine.
They ride into camp and hitch their horses. They then walk over to the table Hosea was sitting at and sit down. "Now, where's Micah?" Dutch asks.
"He's in the Strawberry jail," Colt tells him.
"We have to break him out," Dutch says.
"We can't break him out in Strawberry," Colt says.
"Why?" Dutch asks.
"Because if we let Michah out in Strawberry, he will kill everybody because he will be pissed. He'll kill the law and anybody else who gets in his way. Innocent folks be damned. I may be part of this gang, but I will not let the law and innocent people die for no reason," Colt says to Dutch, who looks at him and smiles.
"You're right. Do you have a plan?" Hosea asks.
"I say we set a trap," Colt says.
"How?" Arthur asks.
"I head to Blackwater and tell agent Milton. He has a few Pinkertons, and me head to Strawberry and grab Micah. After we leave Strawberry, you kill the Pinkertons and grab Micah," Colt says.
"There is one big flaw in your plan. If you're there and nothing happens to you, they will know you're working with us," Dutch says.
"That's why you'll have to shoot me," Colt says. Arthur stands up.
"No way in hell. We are not risking you for Micah," Arthur says.
"Arthur, you would shoot me in the side or somewhere else. Nowhere fatal, and if I die, I will be fine with that as long as nobody in Strawberry has to die," Colt says with them.
"Let's say we do this. Who would you take?" Hosea asks.
"Bill Sadie John and Dutch. Hosea to if you want to come," Colt says.
"Are you sure about this?" Hosea asks.
"This is a good plan. This is also a good way to make Milton think I'm working for him," Colt says.
"Fine, we'll do it," Hosea said.
"Hosea," Arthur says.
"Your brothers right Arthur, this is the best plan we have got," Dutch says.
"Then why can't I come?" Arthur asks.
"Because as soon as we get Micah, you need to grab Sean," Colt says Arthur nods. Bill and Lenny ride into camp.
"He'll be fine Dutch. The doc said he would need to take it easy a few days," Bill says.
"Good. Lenny go rest. Bill grab Mrs. Adler and Mr. Marston," Dutch says. Bill nods. Bill comes back a few moments later with Sadie and John.
"What's up, Dutch?" Sadie asks.
"Micah is being held in Strawberry. The only problem is that you won't like it, Sadie, and we need you for it," Hosea tells her. Sadie looks at him.
"What is it?" Sadie asks. Dutch then explains the plan to Sadie Bill and John. By the end, Sadie had a look on her face that could kill.
"No," Sadie says.
"We ain't go a choice Sadie," Colt says.
"We could let Micah die," Sadie says.
"No, we can't. I will be fine," Colt says to her. Sadie turns to Dutch.
"If he dies. I will kill all of you," Sadie says to Dutch.
"I do not doubt that," Dutch says.
"Head out tomorrow morning. I should reach Blackwater by nightfall. You should see us going into Strawberry if you get there by noon," Colt tells them. They nod. Colt walks to his horse. Sadie and Arthur follow. Sadie hugs him and kisses him on the cheek. Arthur shakes his hand.
"Don't die," Arthur says. Colt nods before he gets on Thea and rides out of camp.
Colt arrives in Blackwater and goes to the sheriff station. He opens the door and walks in. Milton looks up at him. "Mr. Morgan. Your back already. I hope you have some good news," Milton says.
"I do. I have found Micah Bell. He's locked up in Strawberry," Colt says. Milton smiles.
"Good job Colt. Tomorrow you and a few agents will head over and grab him. We'll hand Mr. Bell," Milton says.
"Good, sir. I will meet you here tomorrow morning," Colt says before he leaves and rents a room where he sleeps.
The next morning he rides over to the sheriff station. He sees Pinkerton agents with a jail wagon. Colt walks over to Milton. "Ah, your here, Mr. Morgan. Grab what you need off your horse," Milton says.
"I already have," Colt says. Milton nods and gestures for Colt to get on the wagon. Colt nods.
"I expect all five of back here by nightfall with Micah Bell. I'll watch you're horse Colt," Milton says. Colt nods as they leave Blackwater. They arrive at Strawberry in at noon and get out of the wagon. Colt and two agents walk into the jail.
"We're with the Pinkerton detection agency. We are here for Micah Bell," The agent says. The Sheriff nods.
"He's down in the cell. I'll grab him," The Sheriff says. They come up a few moments later with Micah.
"I want my guns," Micah says.
"If I grab your guns. Will you cooperate?" Colt asks.
"Yes," Micah says.
"Fine. Where are they?" Colt asks. Micah tells Colt, and he leaves. Colt knocks on the house door. A man opens the door.
"Yes?" The man asks.
"I need Mr. Bell's gun. I'm with the Pinkertons," Colt says. The man nods before he goes in. He comes out with Micah's holster and guns. Colt nods before he leaves. Colt goes back to the men, and they leave Strawberry. They were going to the river when the first gunshot when off, killing the agent driving. Multiple shots go off after, and all the agents fall down dead. Dutch Bill Sadie John and Hosea come out of the woods.
"Yes. Good job, boys," Micah says. Bill breaks the lock, and Micah walks over to Colt and punches him before he grabs his guns.
"Micah stop," Dutch says.
"He's with them," Micah says.
"No, he's not. I'll explain on the way back," Dutch says. Micah nods.
"You ready?" Dutch asks Colt, who nods as he steadies himself. Dutch shoots Colt in the side close to his stomach. Colt falls to the ground and looks up. He hears the horses leave. He closes his eyes, ok with whatever happens next.
