Chapter 16-Colm's trap

Everybody besides Colt and Sadie rides back into camp. Dutch looks up from the book he was reading. "You got him. Good job. Where's Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Adler?" Dutch asks.

"Colt said he was going to do a little bounty hunting. Sadie went with him," Charles says. Dutch nods.

"Good, well, boys. We have got jobs to do. So let's get to work," Hosea says. Everybody nods as they talk with Dutch about what he found out.

Colt and Sadie

Colt had Sadie waiting by the train station while he went to the bounty office. He walks in and sees Mr. Milton and Mr. Ross. They look at him. "Mr. Morgan. Did you find anything?" Mr. Milton asks.

"No, I came here to do some bounty hunting. I thought you and Mr. Ross were back in Blackwater," Colt says.

"Nope, we will be staying here for the night. We're heading back tomorrow," Mr. Milton says. Colt nods. The sheriff pulls out a poster and hands it to Colt.

"A brother and a sister. Killed their whole family for money. Has a gang up at Fort Bennet. They are wanted for $1000," The sheriff says. Colt nods as he grabs the poster.

"Thank you, sheriff. Good day folks," Colt says before he leaves. He climbs on his horse and rides to Sadie, who was waiting by her horse. He stops by her. "Come on. We got quite a ride ahead of us," Colt says. Sadie nods as she climbs up on her horse, and they head for Fort Bennet. They had just gotten past the mountain about a minute later. Sadie looks at her friend.

"So, who are we after?" Sadie asks.

"We are after a brother and a sister who murdered their whole family for money. They have a gang up at Fort Bennet," Colt says. Sadie nods as they ride forward.

A cabin

Colm O'driscoll was sitting in a cabin near Rhodes when one of his men came in. He looks up at him. "What?" He asks.

"I was in Valentine. I saw that new man that has been with Dutch and a woman. I heard that they are heading for a bounty, then to Annenberg," The man says.

"Good. I want two traps set up from both ways out of Annesburg. After they take in the bounty, you trap them. Don't kill them. I want the man. Try to get the woman. If anything, use her as bait," Colm says. The man nods as he leaves, and Colm smiles.

With Colt

Colt and Sadie arrive near Fort Bennet by nightfall. Colt looks and sees a few guards. "There are only a few guards. They will most likely hide under the cabin in there. We need to move fast. You ready?" Colt asks. Sadie nods. They move closer and aim. They both shoot, killing two guards. They hear shouting as men start to shoot back. The two friends shoot as they watch each others backs. Colt shoots the last guard. The man falls to the ground as Colt and Saide stand up. They walk inside the fort and walk into the cabin. Colt walks over to the ladder and looks down. He pulls out a dynamite stick. "My friends. I'm gonna throw down a stick of dynamite into this hole. I bet you won't survive. You have ten seconds," Colt says. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine," Colt says.

"Wait. We're coming out," the brother says. Colt smiles as they climb up. Colt ties up the sister and Sadie, the brother. They walk out and put the siblings on their horses before they head to Annesburg. They get there about an hour later and drop off the bounties. They get their money and spilt it before they head out of town. They were about halfway to Van Horn when a barrel full of gunpowder comes down the hill and blows up, throwing them both off their horses. Sadie heads for the trees as Colt hides behind a rock. They shoot at the O'driscoll's when one shouts at the others to stop as one comes out of the woods with Sadie; a gun to her head.

"Let her go," Colt says.

"I don't think I'll do that. I have a deal though you come with us, and she lives," the O'Driscoll says. Colt holsters his gun and puts his hands up. The O'Driscoll smiles as they tie him up and knock Sadie out. Sadie falls to the ground as they knock out Colt and leave with their prisoners, leaving Sadie on the ground.
