He was near Wallace Station, a little further away from Strawberry, when a heavy rain began to fall, a misty sound that filled the air with the howling of wolves and even the lurking of a bear nearby. As they moved forward a little, the sound of Albus neighing heard, as he could smell the stench of a corpse.

" Woah woah easy, easy... no no boah...shhhh...shhhh. it's okay boah."

As he dismounted to look at the crime scene, he could see the blood trail of the poor victim's dismembered body parts on the ground. The poor feller was tied to a rock while, like the previous victim, there was a letter in his mouth.

" Poor feller "

Arthur put the clues together and then, they got as far away as they could to reach the Strawberry. A bear had chased them along the way and he was able to make a good amount of money selling its skin by shooting a few bullets.

When they reached to the Strawberry. Arthur went to the Jail's town and it didn't take long for him to meet the wounded and battered Micah through the window of his cell.

" Psst Morgan. Down there... "

"Well well well, look who's there, howdy old friend ! had a good time? huh?"

" Very funny. Ya gotta get me out of here, Morgan "

" Give me a reason why? "

" Ya knew I always looked up to ya, Morgan."

" So? "

" Then help me! "

" I haven't decided yet... "

" Arthur, please "

Sigh... " I'm goin' to regret it. "

Arthur moved a little away from his cell and then lit a dynamite, threw it at the wall. The dynamite exploded and soon the Laws was charging at them. Micah came out of the cell and killed his cellmate with a bullet. He and Arthur joined one another, killing the laws one by one.

" Hurry up, Cowpoke, we need to get the hell out of here ! "

Baylock and Albus escaped from Strawberry and the Laws were chased after them . Arthur was a better shooter than Micah, But since Albus was a Shire, which made it harder to escape the Laws. Finally, they both managed to escape and hide next to an abandoned cottage.

" Nice work, Cowpoke..."

" Ya insane ?? Ya almost killed us both ! "

" Don't take it to heart, Morgan. ya and me are brothers, sons of Dutch, and sometimes brothers make mistakes. "

" Ya wanna go back to camp? "

" No, I've been a bad boy. I have a little camp near the Strawberry. Come and meet me there, Cowpoke. See ya."

Micah pulled the bridle of the baylock and then in the blink of an eye he was out of sight. Arthur stroked Albus' neck.

" Ya are my big boah! "

He then turned to the Blackwater, which wasn't far away.

" C'mon, boah. "

Albus let out a neigh and trotted off towards the Blackwater, even though posters of all the Band of Van Der Linde were scattered all over the city, but Arthur still hoped that Trelawney had a better plan to save the Sean. They were halfway there when they heard a man's voice and it wasn't long before they met a guy chasing a coyote that had grabbed his bag and was running away.

" Help!! Someone help!! "

Arthur raised his pistol and fired, sending Coyote running away and dropping the bag.

Easy there, partner. Here, take your damn bag. "

" Oh, thank ya so much, sir. Thank ya. Albert Mason. "

The man extended his hand to Arthur to shake his hand.

" Arthur Morgan. "

" Nice to see ya, Mr. Morgan. "

" So, ya a..."

" Oh yes sir! I'm a photographer. I was takin' pictures when that damn coyote stole my bag . "

" Well, glad I could help. "

" Wait, can I take a picture of ya and your magnificent creature? "

" Ya mean him?? "

And he gestured to Albus, who was grazing a few steps away .

" Can I, sir? "

" Sure. Why not. But about that magnificent creature, he's a dumb bastard . "

" Oh, I'm sure that he ain't that bad, sir "

As soon as Albert took a picture, he handed it to Arthur and then said goodbye to them to take more pictures of the surrounding scenery, while Albus trotted towards the Blackwater. Arthur could see Javier and Trelawney huddled in a corner.

" Gentlemen. "

" It's good to see ya again, Arthur. "

" Hola, Amigo ! "

" So, what's the plan? "

" When I asked the sheriff, I l found that the bounty hunters had taken Sean out of town and across the river. Charles is up on that rock, He can see everythin'. Ya better be ready, gentlemen, this is our only chance to save young Sean. "

" Sounds like one of the Dutch's plans. "

Javier could hardly contain his laughter. Even in the worst of circumstances, Arthur could joke.

" Anyway, hurry up, gentlemen. "

All three of them rode horses to the boat where Sean was there, Trelawney managed to distract the bounty hunters, to let Arthur, Charles, and Javier rushed towards the bounty hunters. The sound of shotguns filled the air. Many of the bounty hunters died and some of them escaped. Finally, they freed Sean and took off the sack on his head.

" Ya okay, man? "

" It's good to see ya again, Englishman. "

C'mon, get out of here, Javier, take Sean back to camp, Charles, go another way.

" What about ya? "

" I'll join ya, now c'mon, get out of here. "

After a few minutes, Arthur whistled to call his horse, then he headed back to camp.

A few hours later, when he returned to camp, it was completely dark and the members were gathered around the fire, celebrated the Sean's return. Although there was still no sign of Mac, but everyone was happy about his return to the camp, even Uncle, who had drunk himself a corner, started dancin' like an idiot.

" My friends, Sean is back! My boy is back! Let's show him how much we love him! "

Dutch played a peaceful song on his gramophone and everyone raised their whiskey glasses and sang happily for Sean's return. Javier was playing with his guitar while Karen was sitting on Sean's lap with Sean's arms around her. Arthur walked past them with a bottle of whiskey in his hand, grinnin'.

" So, how's your boyfriend, Karen? "

" He ain't my boyfriend, ya idiot! "

" Yeah, yeah, whatever ya say.. "

Everything was doin' great and there was a little party at the camp, Arthur was drinkin' his whiskey and then lookin' at Mrs. Adler who was sittin' in the corner on a rock. It had been almost a month and a half since they had come to Horseshoe Overlook, but she kept withdrawin' and ignorin' everyone even the girls of the camp.

" Mrs. Adler. "

Sadie looked up and stared at Arthur who was standin' right in front of her.

" A drink? "

" No, thank ya. "

" Ya sure? It will make ya feel better. "

" No, I'm fine. "

" Mind some company? "

She just looked up at him before she nodded. there was an awkward silent between them until Arthur finally spoke.

Hosea looks at them. It was clear that Arthur was tryin' to contact Sadie . He rubbed the back of his head in frustration and a little embarrassment as he turned away

" I have somethin' for ya. Here. I bought this book for ya at a general store in Strawberry. Jack asked me for chocolate bar and Mary Beth asked for a fountain pen, but ya didn't ask for anythin' from me, so I thought to myself...Never mind, just take it. There was a small shelf of these books where ya lived. "

Arthur turned away from Sadie again as his hat was hidin' his eyes, started to walk to his cabin to sleep a little.

" Wait. "

Sadie looked up at him again

" How did ya know the books were mine, not Jake's? "

Arthur chuckled softly and looked at her.

" The men ain't usually the book readers, and besides, they just usually throw books out of their wagon instead of food, unless they want to please their stubborn wives ! "

After that, Arthur retreated to his cabin to rest a little, when Miss Grimshaw angrily approached him.

" Mr. Morgan. "

" Miss Grimshaw. "

" Ya have a letter . "

" A letter? From whom? "

" It's that girl again, Mary! I don't like her. She usually writes to ya whenever she needs your help. It's such a shame ! "

Miss Grimshaw angrily handed the letter to Arthur as she immediately walked away. Mary Gillis. What a lovely name! The one who had captivated Arthur for years was back. Despite Mary's father's objections because Arthur was an outlaw and would not allow them to marry, Arthur still loved Mary. After the deaths of Eliza and Isaac, his only joy was Mary. Mary, and now Mrs. Linton. Finally he opened the letter, and the smell of expensive perfume and her good handwriting plunged him into memories of the past, as always.

" Arthur. Oh, my dearest Arthur!

I have written this letter to ya from the bottom of my heart, I hope it reaches ya. I would like to see ya, I would like to be together again as before, I would like to immerse myself again in your lovin' arms and your warm lips. Meet me at a house north of Valentine .

Love, Mary. "

Arthur rubbed his eyes in frustration, tryin' to calm his thoughts. He opened his journal to write somethin', but nothin' came to his mind. Today had been a crazy day for him, from rescuin' that idiots to meetin' a photographer and now Mary. Finally, when he picked up his pencil, he just wrote one thing. Somethin' that only came to his mind at that moment .

" I saw a chicken Today. "
