A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 397 The Orphanage

After leaving the boy's home, Arthur looked at Carmen who was smiling and counting the bills in her hands, and said with disdain:
"You also rob the children's money? You are really a human being."

"Hey, you'll know when you have a wife. She controls all the financial power. If you want to go to a bar and have a drink, you have to pay on credit!" Carmen said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you going to steal your son's money back?"

Arthur was too talkative to ask this, really.

Looking at the smile on Carmen's face, Arthur knew that this guy must have not only robbed, but also done a lot.

"Boss, this is not called robbing. It is called taking with my own son. As for the child just now, it is not called robbing. It's just that he is still young and has such a huge sum of money. I'm afraid he won't be safe. Besides, this money is not safe. It’s not what you gave me, boss, at best you can take it back.”

Wrong reasoning, pure wrong reasoning. Arthur didn't know what kind of mood he was in. Anyway, he said an extremely classic sentence.

"Carmen, be careful. Don't be old. Before you die, your son will be buried in a coffin for you."

Considering that Carmen might not know what "doctors no longer need to resuscitate" means, Arthur was very considerate and gave him some flexibility.

"Don't worry, boss, even if I'm old, those brats don't have the courage. Do you really think I can't pull the trigger?" Carmen said, patting her chest.

Just like this, they bragged with Arthur along the way, and Carmen led the way, and they came to the orphanage.

Next to the gate of the orphanage, the list of donors to the orphanage is printed on a copper plate on the wall.

At the top, Arthur saw two familiar names. The first was Old Beckman, and the second was Brighton Vincent.

Looking at the closed door, Arthur said to Carmen:
"Knock and go."

"Dong dong dong."

"What's going on?" The door opened a crack, and a slovenly man leaned half of his body out and said.

"that……"

"Boom!" Arthur came up from behind Carmen and kicked open the door of the orphanage without waiting for Carmen's reply.

The sloppy man who was knocked down by the door was caught off guard and landed on his butt before he could recover. Arthur pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against his chin and said:
"I'm looking for a woman named Maria. Of course, it's possible that she doesn't have that name, but she should be back soon. Now, tell me, where is she?"

Behind her, Carmen looked out the door neatly, and then closed the door.

"I……"

"Hush!" Arthur interrupted him by grabbing the safety cover and added:
"Only one chance."

The sloppy man's eyes widened, and he couldn't say "I don't know" anymore. He could clearly see that the man wearing a cowboy hat in front of him was not joking with him.

"Inside, inside."

"Very well, lead the way." When he stood up, Arthur saw a few children of different ages hiding on the side, leaning their heads to look at him. Arthur smiled at them, and the children seemed to notice When they were discovered, they all ran away.

"Carmen, you stay here."

After telling him what to pay attention to, Arthur escorted the sloppy man towards the orphanage.Soon, led by the man, Arthur came to a hidden basement entrance.

"What is it here for?"

Arthur saw that the man had no intention of answering his own question, and he didn't bother to ask. He could only know it after seeing it himself, so he directly knocked him unconscious with the butt of a gun from behind, and then picked up the gun and hung it on the wall. With a kerosene lamp on the bed, he explored forward on his own.

The basement is very large. Apart from the chains, cages, and filthy garbage, the most common people here are rats and children wearing rags.

As he saw more and more things, Arthur began to doubt more and more whether he could really find the woman named Maria here?

And he couldn't help but feel that he had the misfortune of knowing something that others might not want him to know.

These children, whose necks were chained or locked in cages, all looked very dull. Arthur was not sure whether it was because they had been kept in a dark basement for a long time or because they were fed. What kind of medicine? In short, no matter how Arthur asked, they didn't have any answer.

"What do you want to know from me, Mr. Morgan?"

This sudden question made Arthur reflexively raise his gun and coal lamp behind him. If he hadn't used the light of the coal lamp to see clearly that the woman asking the question was Maria, Arthur would have almost fired. .

After confirming that Maria had no intention of running away and had no weapons, Arthur said in a bad tone:
"Ms. Maria, there is so much I want to know."

……

On the other end, Eamonn and others were still waiting outside the manor where the Dixon brothers were suspected to be detained. Seeing that the time was approaching as agreed with them before Arthur left, they began to prepare to invade by force.

"Eamonn, what do you say, the time is up, do you want to come in?"

Logically speaking, this question shouldn't be asked. After all, Arthur made it very clear when he left that if he hadn't come back with Carmen by this point, he would just take action first, no matter who the enemy was. First, take control of the Dixon brothers.

However, Arthur's order was not to go in and rescue the Dixon brothers, but to ask them to use a rescue method that did not let anyone go.

What does that mean?

It's a stealth mission where you don't bend down and just shoot. It's a Russian-style rescue that kills everything but the hostages.

Yeah, a neat metaphor.

In short, it was this request that made the employee speak to Eamonn again to confirm whether he really no longer wanted to wait, but to start acting as planned.

After all, it is normal for someone to die in conflicts and battles, but shooting with the purpose of massacre still makes people a little wary, especially if it is a conflict initiated unilaterally by oneself.

"I know what you are worried about." Imon turned back to look at the employee who just asked, and then continued:
"But don't be too optimistic. The enemies in that manor are not lambs lying in the sheepfold with their limbs tied to be slaughtered. It is impossible to say who lives and dies. As for your question, yes , the time has come, we should take action, as employees of Heishuihe Company, just treat this as a commissioned task with a generous bonus."

After replying to the person who had questions, Aemon looked around at the others and said:

"It's time to test your daily training results. Don't give it to me, and don't embarrass Charlie. The three-person team adopts the tactical arrangement of total annihilation and releases a gap in the east. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

"action."
