A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 108 Deputy Sheriff Archibald McGregor

After Arthur took little Jack to a big meal, he took him to prepare a gift for everyone in the camp.

Finally, Arthur returned to the office with little Jack who had put on new clothes. It was almost evening. Abigail and Karen had also returned, and they were sitting here chatting.

"Wow, look, where is this handsome boy?" Karen said with a smile.

Abigail also saw little Jack in new clothes at this time. She stepped forward and hugged little Jack who rushed towards her, raised her head and said apologetically to Arthur:
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Arthur."

Arthur shook his head and said with a smile:

"Going out for a walk with little Jack made me feel better."

Abigail didn't say anything more. Arthur had already helped her too much. She didn't know how many times she had said her thanks. She lowered her head again and looked at little Jack in her arms and asked with a smile. :

"So, how were you two guys doing?"

Little Jack said happily:

"Very good! We had a big meal and I picked out a new dress for you..."

"Jack?" Abigail frowned when she heard the gift and the new dress.

Arthur hurriedly said on the side:
"Haha, I wanted to give some gifts to everyone in the camp, but I didn't know what to give, so I asked Little Jack to help me choose."

Hearing what Arthur said, Abigail relaxed her frown, but she still held little Jack in hand and asked:
"Jack, have you thanked Uncle Arthur?"

Little Jack raised his head and was about to speak.

"No need, we had a lot of fun, Abigail." After Arthur said that, he turned around to get the wrapped gifts that were placed immediately. After asking the two of them to help take the gifts back, Kelly was present. First unwrapping the gift, which contained a bottle of good wine, Kelly thanked Arthur very happily.

In fact, these gifts are not expensive, but they are all liked by everyone or can be used. It has to be said that little Jack still knows very well what everyone in the camp likes or needs. of.

Arthur said to several people:

"Then Little Jack will be returned to you intact. I'm going to go do something... By the way, Little Jack, you behaved very well."

After saying goodbye to a few people, Arthur went to the Rhodes Town Police Station. When Arthur opened the door, he saw Leigh Gray sitting on the ground who had drunk too much. Archibald on the side stepped forward to receive Arthur. He opened his mouth and said:
"I'm sorry, Chief Gray is not feeling well right now..."

Facing Archibald who was telling lies, Arthur did not expose him, but said politely:
"Then it seems that I can only trouble Deputy Sheriff to come with me. I have already sent my people to explore the moonshine workshop hidden in the swamp that Chief Gray mentioned before. However, They haven’t come back yet, and I’m about to go take a look.”

"No problem. Then, Sheriff, I'm going out for a while. You...you drink less." Archibald turned around and told Sheriff Gray, then followed Arthur out and mounted his horse.

The two left Rhodes Town, and not long after they walked, they saw a large farmland on the side of the road.

Archibald said to Arthur from the front:

"Are you familiar with this area? Mr. Callahan."

"No, not familiar." Arthur replied.Although he said this, in fact, Arthur was very familiar with it. He had already inquired about it and visited it on the spot.

Next door is the Gray family's Caliga plantation.

After Archibald heard Arthur say that he was not familiar with it, he proudly introduced him to Arthur:
"To your right, those tobacco fields, they're all part of Caliga Plantation, they're all owned by the Gray family."

Arthur didn't want to follow the compliment, so he said:
"Well, these tobaccos look a little dry."

"To be precise, it's very dry. We desperately need some rain here. Listen, the Gray family has lived in Caliga Manor for generations, and they are good people."

Different positions mean that everyone sees another person from a different perspective. Arthur guessed that Archibald grew up in the Gray family, right?
As expected, Archibald continued:
"My family has worked for the Gray family for a long time. Of course, the person I am most familiar with is Chief Gray. I may have spent more time with him than my father."

As if remembering the past, Archibald continued to say nostalgically:
"Today's Rhodes Town, how should I put it, it is not what it used to be before the war, but today it also has another charm."

Arthur nodded, he mentioned deliberately:

"I know there is another manor west of here..."

"Ah, the Bravest family estate, that's a terrible family, a disgusting family, and as the Sheriff told you, they've been in constant conflict with the Grays for as long as I can remember. .”

The two turned right at the intersection ahead.

After walking some distance further, visible to the naked eye, the scenery on both sides of the road began to become completely different from before. Arthur could already see several potholes and muddy areas.

Archibald asked:
"Did you remember to remind your people not to go too far into the swamp? It is said that there are Lemoyne raiders in the old Shebeledi Manor, and they are not very friendly, especially to government personnel."

Well, good question, Arthur thought about it for a while, he and Lenny had never considered this issue at all.

Seeing that Arthur didn't reply, Archibald guessed that he must not have said anything, so he sighed and said:

"Listen, we can only look around the perimeter. There is no way we can deal with the Lemoyne Marauders with just the two of us."

Arthur nodded. He didn't think too much about why Sheriff Gray didn't mention that the Lemoyne Marauders' stronghold was also here when he gave his location. It was obvious that whether he was drunk or on purpose, he targeted him this time. The actions of the Bravest family's moonshining workshop should be a test of the strength of Arthur's men by the Gray family.

Similarly, the reason why Arthur went to see Sheriff Gray was because he wanted him to see his people's skills with his own eyes. This was something Arthur and Charles had already agreed on.

As for what he said to Archibald, about his people going out for investigation and not coming back yet, it was just an excuse. Arthur just wanted to bring the Gray family to see what they were doing. Doing things.

Sheriff Gray is inconvenient, that's okay, for Arthur, the Deputy Sheriff is the same, they are all from the Gray family anyway.

Moreover, Archibald grew up in Gray's family, and his family has worked for Gray's family for generations. Arthur believes that his words may, to some extent, make Gray's family more reassuring than the words of Leigh Gray, who is an alcoholic. The old patriarch was convinced.

　Hey, let me share an interesting thing with you. After I posted it, I had to read it on my phone again to correct typos, grammatical errors, sentence fragmentation, etc. But I found that after it was put on the shelf, I also had to read it on my phone. It costs money! ! (Shocked) Yes, in the end I spent money to read my own book. Who told me not to check it on my mobile phone and find out the problem... Everyone is still the same. I read it just after the update. The experience is not good. It is best to wait for me. Completed.
