Okay, I'm just gonna keep the character introduction's short since this story is getting dragged out longer than it should be.
Rodes was just a little ways away, so John told everyone to get back, then he started walking to the General Store. Even though this town wasn't as busy as the others, he wasn't going to take any chances of the others getting shot.
So, tell me what exactly we're doing here again? questioned Kieran, who took the form of an owl.
How many times we gotta tell you? We're getting Pearson, Hosea told him.
Arthur shook his head, his mighty antlers following suit. He knew that Kieran was gonna ask the question, but he was starting to get tired of explaining the situation that he got himself into. But if Arthur told himself this, he'd be lying.
Let's just wait for John, okay? he said impatiently.
A few minutes passed before John came walking back to them with Simon behind him. "So, you guys..." he took a moment to survey the group of animals before continuing. "Are our old gang members?"
As if to prove it, light shone down on Arthur, turning his pelt to the beautiful golden color John was used to seeing. "Well, I guess that proves it," Simon said, turning to John.
"Okay, now we need to get Sadie," John took his hat off and rubbed the sweat off his forehead.
"Mrs Adler?"
"Yeah, I met with her on a couple of bounty hunting trips. The last time I saw her, she said she would be in Valentine."
I know Sadie would LOVE to put an end to this nightmare,
John thought. And maybe... finally set Arthur and the rest of them free.
In the saloon, a blond haired woman sat in a chair with her feet on the table in front of her. The waiter came over with her beer and she took a swig of it.
"Ma'am?" the waiter said, holding out his hand.
Sadie rolled her eyes and dug in her coat pocket. "I didn't forget, you son of a snake," she groaned before putting 2 cents into his hand. The man went back behind the bar.
At that moment, John stepped through the swinging doors and looked around, finally spotting his friend. "Sadie," he called going to her.
The Bounty Hunter let out a laugh. "Well do my eyes deceive me? Mr Marston. How are you?"
The cowboy let out a small chuckle and sat down. "I've been well Sadie, if that means anything. I actually came here to tell you something, and to ask a question."
Sadie raised her eyebrow at him, signaling him to go on.
"Arthur is alive," he stated.
"What? No, he's dead. He died from TB. Are you saying he somehow survived?"
John hesitated. "Well, he didn't and did at the same time. He got reincarnated into a deer after he died."
"Well, I heard weirder stuff then this," she admitted.
"And there's another thing," John continued. "What's that?" Sadie asked, taking another swig of her beverage.
"Micah's back too."
Hearing this, Sadie's eyes widened and quickly spit out her beer, almost choking. "What!? But that's impossible! We killed him."
John scratched his chin. "We did, but like Arthur and the rest, he, Javier and Bill got reincarnated into wolves. Dutch got turned into a bear."
"The rest?" she questioned.
"The rest of the gang. Arthur told me his plan. Would you help?"
Sadie laughed, "does a pig play poker? Of course, I wanna see this bastard meet his doom." With that, she finished her beer and she and John left the saloon.
