A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 31 Closing work
Arthur asked the clinic owner where he could wash his hands. The clinic owner now looked at Arthur with fear in his eyes and told Arthur obediently that there was a bucket outside the house.

After cleaning the stains on his hands carefully, Arthur thought about the news he had just asked about Malloy, and was distracted for a moment.

"What are you doing, Arthur?"

"Oh, Dutch, Hosea, you are back, how is it? Is everything going well for you?"

Dutch said happily:

"It went very smoothly. Look, we are still an efficient team under my leadership. Haha, it is completely effortless to deal with these scumbags from the Odrisk Gang. So, Arthur, can you tell us now? What is your plan in this matter?"

Hosea complained with some dissatisfaction:

"You have to explain to us why I told you to keep a low profile, but in the end it turned into a full-scale war against the Odrisk Gang in Valentine."

Arthur wiped his hands casually on his body and led the two of them directly back to the secret base of the clinic through the back door. The O'Drisco gang's money box was still on the table, and some scattered money was scattered on the table.

The three of them sat down at the table and watched Dutch and Hosea start puffing away skillfully. Arthur rolled his eyes in his heart. It was true that two of the people around him were smokers and it was really difficult for him to quit smoking. Adding to the difficulty, he coughed lightly and said:
"Let me think about where to start. Well, first of all, we can use the Sheriff of Valentine. You already know this. This is what I think. Since we are going to stay here for a while, The closest place to us is Valentine Town. Whether it is purchasing supplies and necessities, inquiring about information, or making money, we can have this opportunity to integrate here. The additional relationship with the Sheriff will help us no matter what we plan to do next. Things will be much safer.”

"What happened in Blackwater Town is still on the front page of the news. No one knows when the wanted warrant issued by the authorities will be sent here, and there are also those lingering Pinkerton detectives. No one knows when. It will appear here, and I don’t want us to be caught off guard again.”

Hearing Arthur mention the failure of Blackwater Town again, Dutch's expression was not very good. He blew out a smoke ring and said:
"I think I've said this many times. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Don't mention it again."

Faced with Dutch's obvious displeasure, Hosea said from the side:
"Arthur, your worries are justified. There's no harm in being more prepared. We don't know how long we can stay here. But, is this how you want to get rid of the Sheriff? By taking down the O'Drisco Gang? Arthur, your approach will at most make him have a good impression of us, but the prerequisite is that he doesn't know our identities, so you are probably just busy in vain."

Hosea sighed before continuing: "Once he knows our identities, he will not cover us, and we have nothing to hold him."

Arthur agreed with Hosea's words, but he had his own plan, and he didn't intend to confess it now, so he changed his words:

"Yes, you are right, but we only planned to hide here for a while, didn't we? So in general, pleasing the Sheriff can make our life easier during this period, which is not the same as our original plan. There’s no conflict, it’s just a matter of buying another insurance before our identities are exposed.”

Dutch nodded to acknowledge Arthur's statement. The group of people returned to chatting about the matter in front of them, and Dutch said:
"All the members of the O'Drisco gang have been taken back to the police station and locked up. They can't fit into the two small cells. The deputy chief is watching them. Don't worry about them causing trouble. They were all beaten up pretty badly. I guess they can't be messed with. What's the trouble?"

Having said this, Dutch turned his head and looked at the miserable-looking member of the Austrian gang who was tied to a chair, and then continued: "Looking at his appearance, I guess you can tell me about the whereabouts of our Sheriff Malloy. Should have known?"

"Well, Malloy was not captured. He followed him there on his own. The destination is not clear to this group of people. I will look into the follow-up of this matter. That should be it for now. Do you plan to go back to the camp? Spending one night in the town? The innkeeper in the town is also a friend of ours. Although he just got smashed somewhere, I think it’s okay for you to stay one night.”

It was already late at night, and considering the need to walk back to the camp at night, Arthur suggested this.

However, both Dutch and Hosea refused. Hosea said that he was worried that Lenny was the only one left in the camp, while Dutch said that he preferred to be close to nature and be with gang members, and that he could afford a bed in the city. Not used to sleeping, but they will ask other people who are okay if they want to stay overnight.

"Do you really don't need us all to stay and help you?" "No, everyone has been busy all night. There should be a lot of work in the camp, and some of it is for you." After Arthur finished speaking, he put the table on the table. The cash box left by the Drisco gang pushed it to Hosea.

"Go back and give the brothers a share of the money. By the way, there is another thing. I met Trelawney in the town and he told me the news about Sean."

Dutch and Hosea were very excited when they heard the news about Sean. Hosea quickly asked:
"Sean, is he still alive? Trelawny found him?"

"In Blackwater Town, he was caught by a bounty hunter, but there is no danger for the time being. I heard that they and the authorities did not negotiate a price."

The surprise on Dutch's face faded, and he said solemnly:
"This is not good. If we step into Blackwater Town, we will definitely die. There are Pinkertons everywhere. However, since Sean is still alive and he is one of us, we still have to try to save him. He comes out."

Seeing that even though Dach was well aware of the situation in Blackwater Town, he still made such a firm statement that he would try to rescue Sean no matter what, Arthur agreed in his heart. After thinking about it, he still reminded:

"Dutch, what they want most is you."

Dutch didn't care at all about these words. He stood up and walked to the tied members of the Austrian gang. He turned to Arthur and Hosea and said:
"It's always like this..."

After saying that, he did not look back, took out his gun, shot the Austrian gang member to death, and then continued:

"I will first arrange for Charles to go back to Blackwater Town to explore the situation."

Arthur and Hosea had no objections to letting Charles go to check out the situation first. Charles was a recognized expert. Even if he didn't get the news, nothing would happen to him. As for the Austrian gangster who was killed Member, no one paid much attention to it, after all, he knew too much.

After Dutch and Hosea left, Arthur began to figure out what to do next.

Seeing Kieran and the clinic owner who were called in, using rags and water to carefully clean the blood stains on the wall and the floor, Arthur thought in a daze that it would be perfect to use the place in front of him as a casino. However, not only is the space large enough, but it is also hidden enough. The two special security doors at the front and back make it look very safe.

As for the hotel he originally chose, Arthur planned to change a few rooms into a higher-grade, high-end card game venue.

The casino here at the clinic has no threshold, but the hotel is on an invitation-only basis and only entertains certain wealthy guests.

Yes, Arthur is thinking about making money now. In his opinion, the Sheriff should not be in any danger. Although he has known him for a short time, based on his understanding of him during this period and the dead Austrian gang Based on the members' previous confessions, Arthur believed that Malloy was not a person who would make fun of his own life.

His adaptability should allow him to come back safely, or he might have some cards in his hand that Arthur doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have followed the O'Drisik gang and left.

Therefore, Arthur doesn't worry about him now. After all, he has done what he promised. As for the follow-up matters related to the O'Drisco Gang, he will wait until Malloy comes back. There is no need for him to worry about it now. The advantage of having a strong gun barrel is that no matter what happens next, no matter how bad it is, Arthur will be confident that he can solve it with his own gun barrel in the end.
