A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 53 We can’t keep Micah

Horseshoe Lookout Campground.

In a clean tent that has just been packed away.

Bill was lying on the sleeping bag. Although there seemed to be no external injuries on his body, Javier said that his horse was hit in the crossfire and pinned Bill under the horse. It is estimated that his ribs were crushed. Broken.

But seeing as he is still alive, his internal organs are probably fine.

Arthur thought he might have some fat to thank for that.

Javier was sitting in the tent. Apart from being shot in the arm, he still looked very energetic. Tilly was replacing the blood-soaked gauze on him with a new one.

Except for Tilly, the only people present now were Arthur, Dutch and Hosea. Everyone else had been driven away. None of the three people spoke at this time. The atmosphere was very heavy. No one spoke. Everyone knew that it must be Something's wrong with Micah.

After Tilly replaced the gauze on Javier's arm and left, Dutch finally asked:
"Tell me, what happened? How did it end up like this? Didn't I tell you to get back to the camp as soon as you got your things! And, damn, where are the Micahs?!"

By the end of it, Dutch was very angry.

He couldn't understand how the originally perfect rescue operation ended up like this, but he just took the first step and didn't take them back to the camp.

Hearing Dutch ask, it's okay not to mention Micah. When he mentioned Micah, Javier's lungs were about to explode. He didn't know what to say or where to start. Finally, he took a deep breath and then He slowly exhaled the breath again, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it! Mai! Ka! Bei! Er!"

Javier said it almost word for word, gritting his teeth. Beside him, Bill had just been given some painkillers and was now falling asleep, still letting out one or two low groans of pain from time to time.

"Tell me! What's going on." Dutch could see that Javier was extremely angry, but he was also very anxious.

"Micah didn't go back to get something. Listen up! This bastard made us fight the whole town! Damn it, we almost killed half the town before we escaped!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

Although Arthur had some preparations in his mind at this time, he still couldn't figure out why things ended up like this even though he had already rescued Micah according to his plan.

Just listen to Havel gritting his teeth and continuing:
"That bastard took us back to find the people he was hanging out with before, and then he shot and killed the couple without any reason. This fucking alarmed the townspeople and the sheriff, and then he shot Ka directly led us all the way out... As you saw, Bill and I were both injured."

"What about the Michaels?!" Hosea interrupted directly. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Damn Micah.

"Yes, where are the Micahs?" Dutch also asked.

As if he was angry, or maybe due to excessive blood loss, Javier felt very dizzy. He forced himself to calm down, and then tried his best to continue in a less angry voice:

"The bastard is still alive. He said he didn't dare to come back. He knew he had caused trouble. He also asked me to tell Dutch that he would find a way to make up for it, but before that he had to stay by himself for a while."

After hearing this, Dutch's face turned dark.

Hosea calmed down and started smoking as usual, but it seemed that he took too big a drag, and the light on the end of the cigarette did not dim for a long time.

Finally, Arthur spoke:

"Let's think about it first. In other words, Micah took you two back to get something, and then killed someone, and then you got into a fight with the townspeople without saying a word, and then you killed them. Half the town? Is that a generalization correct?" Javier nodded. He was dizzy, and now he felt that a large part of the reason was because he was angry. He really didn't want to speak.

He glared hard at Bill next to him. It would be great if he was the one who fell asleep now.

Now Arthur finally understood what the whole thing was about, but he still confirmed it with Javier one last time:

"So, I think Micah was recognized as expected. Are you sure you haven't spoken to the townspeople?"

Javier nodded again and said: "Micah should have been recognized. Even if he was not recognized, as long as he looked at the couple who died in the house, everyone would know that he did it."

Arthur nodded and told Javier to have a good rest here, and then pulled Dutch and Hosea outside.

Everyone in the camp was gathered around here. When they saw them finally coming out, everyone looked at them with questioning eyes.

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with Hosea and Arthur. Let's all disperse. Everyone is fine. It's just a small situation on the way back. Let's end the banquet early. What should we do? Why are you going?" Dutch dispersed the crowd, and everyone reluctantly accepted this answer for the time being.

After all, Dutch's face is too dark.

Arthur stopped Lenny, who was about to leave, and asked him to go to Valentine Town, first go to the Sheriff's Office to find Malloy and let him sleep late. He would go to him later, and then go to the clinic to find him. Nellie Calloway brought him back and asked Lenny to remember to tell him that the patients here might have internal injuries, and asked him to bring all the medicine and tools.

Lenny nodded and left.

What Arthur was thinking about at this time was not about Micah. Although Micah was indeed a real dog, this was not what he was concerned about now. What he was most concerned about now was the aftermath of this incident.

Dutch used the identity of Sheriff Valentine to take Micah away, but Micah turned around and led others to massacre half of the town.

It's not noisy.

Arthur must handle this matter properly and quickly, otherwise it will not only affect his business in Valentine, but may also bring a lot of unnecessary attention to them.

"Dutch, I'm going to Strawberry Town in a minute. Give me the police badge." Arthur had a preliminary plan in mind at this time. Of course, he and Dutch asking for the police badge had its purpose.

Dutch heard that Arthur was going to Strawberry Town, and his face was full of confusion. Pick this time?Going to Strawberry Town?Isn’t this a wish to the Lord of Hell that he thinks he has a long life?

Of course, these are not the exact words in Dutch's mind, but that's what they mean.

Dutch persuaded:
"Arthur, don't be anxious. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. What can you do now?"

Hosea also spoke to persuade Arthur. He knew that Arthur must be worried that his business in Valentine would be affected, so he was so anxious, but it was really too reckless to let it go like this.

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Arthur felt that he might not be able to explain clearly to them for a while, but time was running out now, and he had to rush to deal with it before the news spread.

Therefore, Arthur didn't say anything, just took Dutch's police badge and walked out of the camp.

Dutch stood there with a frown on his face.

Hosea took two steps and originally wanted to follow Arthur, but in the end he turned back and said seriously to Dutch:
"I finally see it clearly. Micah is a scourge and we can't keep him!"
