Chapter 28-Talking with Arthur
Colt wakes up a few hours later when he hears shouting. He gets up and gets off the cot. He grabs his hat and walks towards the front of the house where Abigal was hugging Jack. Hosea walks off with Dutch as John goes with Abigal. Arthur walks over to his brother. "You okay?" Arthur asks as he lit a cigarette.
"How'd you get him back?" Colt asks.
"Had to kill a few graverobbers for some bastard named Angelo Bronte," Arthur says.
"Angelo Bronte. Good job, another rich guy to piss off," Colt says.
"What do you know about him?" Arthur asks.
"No much. Never had a run-in with him. I know that he runs Saint-Denis. He has eyes everywhere," Colt says.
"Well, he invited us to a party," Arthur says.
"And let me guess. Dutch things that there will be money in it," Colt says. Arthur nods.
"Charles and I are making a plan. When this gang falls and it will. We're gonna try to save as many people as possible," Colt says. Arthur looks at him.
"You can't be serious," Arthur says.
"I am. Come on, Arthur, it doesn't take a smart man to notice that our time is limited. The world is done with people like us. This gang's time is limited. Might as well save who we can," Colt says.
"Who all knows?" Arthur asks.
"Besides Charles. Only you," Colt says.
"You have a plan yet?" Arthur asks.
"Nope. Gotta thing a few things over," Colt says.
"I'm with you," Arthur says.
"I know," Colt says. Arthur walks over to Mary-Beth and sits by her. Colt watches as the gang celebrates and has fun. He walks over to Charles and sits down. Charles was sitting down. Colt sits by the man who was cleaning his gun by himself.
"I'm assuming you just told Arthur," Charles says. Colt nods. "What did he say?" Charles says.
"He's with us. I came over here because we need to decide who are the people that will join us and not tell Dutch or Micah," Colt says.
"Then we should hold off on Bill and Javier. I don't know where they stand. Mary-Beth will follow Arthur. John will do whatever takes to keep his family safe. Kieran will stay with whatever keeps him alive. Sadie will follow you. What do you think about Hosea and Lenny?" Charles asks.
"Lenny will follow us. Hosea, I don't know. He wants to see everybody safe, but Dutch is also his best friend. I don't know where he would stand," Colt says.
"Then, we wait. See what people do and decide later," Charles says. Colt nods. They party for a little longer before they head to bed.
I know short. Next chapter, we head into chapter 4 more and hopefully longer chapters. As always, thanks for reading. Until next time.
