A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 340 Are You Still Alive?

Dutch and others, who successfully used explosives to blow open the back wall of the bank vault, finally got rid of the situation where they were trapped and died in the bank.

The first ones to evacuate were Dutch and others behind the bank.

At the entrance of the hole, Javier grabbed Dutch's outstretched hand and said to Dutch in a serious tone after stepping out of the blown hole in the wall:
"We shouldn't be robbing this bank, Dutch."

Dutch stood by the broken wall, taking the sack filled with gold and banknotes from Bill, and replied:

"Javier, we're done. We have money. Now just get rid of these damn police officers and I can take you to Tahiti."

Bill, who crawled out of the hole with Dutch's help, did not feel as regretful as Javier. Although there were constant gunshots from behind, he still happily responded:
"Hey! We can finally leave the ghostly place we are in now!"

"Bill! Stop dreaming now. David, where is John?" Dutch asked loudly to David who crawled out from behind.

David pulled off his mask and said:
"He and Fatty are still behind."

"Damn it, what are they doing? We don't have any more time to waste here!"

Dutch could already hear the piercing sound of police whistles approaching.

the other side.

In the bank, the fat man finally couldn't wait any longer. He shouted to John who had no intention of leaving:

"John! What are you doing? Dutch and the others have already left. Hurry up and follow me. I'll give you the back seat!"

In fact, John was in an extremely tangled state at this time. He looked at Abigail who was holding him tightly, and then turned to look at the fat man who was exchanging fire outside. He didn't know, he really Don't know what to do.

Outside the bank, after the failed storm, Schmitt Rudy, who was Director Lambert's deputy and now serves as temporary director, also came to the scene. At this time, he was shouting into the bank:
"Listen to the gangsters inside! It's over! It's better to surrender! You can't run away!"

Unfortunately, Rudy's well-intentioned attempt to persuade him to surrender only resulted in bullets flying through the window.

Behind Rudy, Jacob came with others. He introduced himself to Rudy:

"Jacob Spencer, director of the Bureau of Investigation, what's your name?"

In fact, Jacob left the town of Rhodes one day earlier than Arthur. After he returned to the stronghold originally belonging to the Pinkerton West Branch, he was taken from the agents left behind by Webster. Got the news that the Van der Linde Gang is going to rob the Saint-Denis Bank.

Today's bank robbery was actually the cash prepared by Jacob. He had actually arrived with people a long time ago, but he didn't show up until now.

"Schmidt Rudy, interim chief of the St. Denis Police Department, Mr. Spencer, what are you doing here?"

"Capture Dutch van der Linde."

"How do you know these robbers are from Van der Linde?"

"You just need to cooperate with me. I have arranged my manpower in advance. This area has been blocked by my people. They cannot escape." Jacob said confidently.

"...Mr. Spencer, is this the job of our St. Denis Police Department?"

"I'm sorry, our investigation bureau is authorized by the Ministry of Justice, so you'd better cooperate honestly. Now, don't waste time thinking about negotiations. I heard an explosion just now. I guess they have left from behind. You now What we have to do is to send people to rush in immediately.”

Jacob's tone of treating Rudy as a subordinate really made Rudy dissatisfied, but looking at the obviously weakened firepower in the bank, he knew that Jacob might be right.

"By the way, don't hurt the gangsters who are still inside. If nothing else happens, the only ones who are still inside are ours."

"...?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just do as you're told."

As soon as Jacob finished speaking, there was another gunshot, but there was no bullet fired.

Immediately afterwards, a gun was thrown out. John raised his hands, pushed open the bank door with his shoulders, and then walked out. He shouted:
"Surrender, I surrender, don't shoot."

Rudy asked with a smile:

"Is this guy one of yours?"

Jacob replied with an ugly expression:
"No, arrest him."

……

Pushing forward a little bit, what happened in the bank just now?The fat man saw that except for John, Dutch and the others seemed to have left. He ran to John anxiously and said:
"Damn, what are you dragging?!"

"I'm sorry, Fatty, please go and leave the affairs of the Queen to me."

"...?"

The woman and child in front of him were clutching John tightly, which made the fat man realize that these must be John's wife and children.

Although he didn't know why they were here, Rudy knew that they were in trouble now.

Fatty was the traitor originally sent by Pinkerton to Miles, but by chance, Miles died in the hands of Dutch, and he also joined the Van der Linde gang.

Now, it was time to close the net. Dutch and the others would definitely not be able to escape this time, so naturally there was no need for him to escape with them.

But he also knew very well that if his identity was exposed, he would never be able to bear the revenge on Dutch and the others.

To be sure, he could only do this...

Rudy said:

"Okay, then I'll go first."

As he said that, the fat man turned around and pretended to leave. When John turned his head to say something to Abigail and the others, the fat man turned his head and aimed the gun at John.

And this scene was seen by Abigail, who was facing John.

Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out.

However, it was the fat man who was shot.

Abigail held John's gun in her hand. She originally stole John's gun to force him to stay, but unexpectedly it came in handy at this time.

John, who was confused by this scene, immediately grabbed the gun from Abigail's hand, but when he turned around and saw the fat man falling facing him, still holding the gun in his hand, he was even more confused.

It can only be said that Abigail is Abigail after all. Compared with John who still couldn't figure out what was going on, she had already understood and complained loudly to John:

"John! He wants to kill you, he actually wants to kill you, how long are you going to live like this!"

"I... what should I do?"

"Surrender, surrender, this is the United States, everything is tradable here, as long as you survive first, as long as you survive, Arthur, Arthur will definitely have a way to help you."

"I've missed so many opportunities, Abigail, I'm not sure..." John said with a frustrated look.

Abigail held John's head with both hands and said seriously:

"As long as you are alive, you still have a chance! At least this time, for me and for Jack, please seize it and don't miss it again!"

"Abigail..."

"John, believe Arthur, he will never give up on you."

……

On the other end, while John was still hesitating, Dutch had decisively led the others to escape first.

On the way, Dutch and the others encountered people who intercepted them. All of them were not police officers from the St. Denis Police Department, but detectives from the Bureau of Investigation who were wearing Pinkerton Detective Agency uniforms and ambush here in advance.

"Damn it! Kill them all! These bastards!" Dutch shouted while shooting at the enemy.

"These bastards!" Bill yelled and threw igniting explosives at the enemy behind the bunker.

After a fierce exchange of fire.

"David! Are you still alive?" Dutch shouted from behind the bunker.

David, who was behind another bunker, replied:

"Yes, he's not dead yet, but if he doesn't find a way to leave, I think he will be soon."
