Chapter 30-Bronte
Dutch and Arthur have left for the swamp to get a boat. Colt walks over to Hosea, who was sitting by a table. Colt sits by the older man. "How do you feel about this Bronte business?" Colt asks.
"I think it's a bad idea. It's just going to draw attention to us and bring the Pinkertons on our tail," Hosea says. Colt stays silent for a moment before he looks at Hosea. "What is it?" Hosea asks.
"Charles and I are starting to make a plan for when things go wrong. I don't know what else we're supposed to do. This gang is falling, Hosea," Colt says.
"So that is why you and Charles have been talking so much," Hosea says.
"Yeah. We have Arthur and John on our side. I don't know what side you are on, but you should know about it," Colt says.
"Give me some time to think, and I will tell you what I think," Hosea says. Colt nods as Arthur ride back into camp. "Everybody who comes gets ready. We're meeting Dutch and getting Bronte," Arthur says. They all nod as they get on their horses and follow Arthur. Saide and Hosea stay behind with Kieran.
They get to the swamp about an hour later, where they see Dutch. "You boys ready?" Dutch asks. They nod as they all get in the boat, and Thomas starts to row them towards Bronte's home. They get there soon and get off the boat. They follow Dutch over the wall. "Colt, Arthur, Lenny, Charles, head left. Javier Bill, Lenny, and I will head left," Dutch says. They nod as they start to move. Colt stays towards the back. Arthur shoots off the first shot killing a guard as the firefight begins. They kill the guards outside as Dutch, John, and Arthur head inside. They kill the guards that start to shoot at them. Dutch and John come out first, and as Colt was about to ask where Arthur was, he comes out with Bronte over his shoulder. They kill the rest of the guards. They get in the boat and leave. Bronte wakes up and looks at them. He starts to try and bribe the group. Dutch grabs him after a while and drowns him before he throws him to a gator. "Jesus Dutch, what part of your philosophy books cover feeding a man to a gator?" John asks.
"The part that covers weakness," Dutch says. The gang leaves.
I know these last few chapters have been super short, and I am sorry. But I am almost done with chapters 4 and 5, and 6 will be long cause I have things planned for them.
