A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 80 Micah returns to camp
On the other side, Horseshoe Lookout Camp.

Micah is back.

Dutch heard Micah's voice before he could see him.

"Daqi, I brought you a gift."

"saliva--!"

Javier spat hard as Micah passed by him.

Bill was also glaring at Micah, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

However, Micah chose to turn a blind eye to all of this.

He came straight to Dutch, with a proud smile on his face, as if he had forgotten everything about Strawberry Town.

The expression on Dutch's face at this time was very subtle. He just stared at Micah.

Micah nodded to Hosea who was next to Dutch, which was considered a greeting.

Then Micah continued to look proud and said to Dutch:

"Daqi, I brought you a gift. It's a bank carriage full of banknotes! I've figured out its time and route, and now I'm just waiting for us to show up to pick it up. .”

"Micah...before that, I think, maybe Javier and Bill, they would like you to give them a reasonable explanation first?" Dutch said, his face darkening.

This wasn't a sign of anger, but a hint that Micah needed to explain.

Although not everyone else in the camp gathered around him at this time, everyone's attention was actually focused here.

Hearing that Dutch wanted Micah to explain, everyone began to expect that it would be best if Micah couldn't explain and was driven away.

When Micah heard that Dutch actually mentioned the matter of Strawberry Town again, he looked in disbelief and said:
"Aren't these two guys still alive and well? What do I have to explain to them? If I'm grateful, I've already said it. I appreciate their kindness in coming to save me. However, it is obvious that the two of them did not contribute much in this, didn’t they rely on you, Dutch, to rescue me?”

When Micah said this, after seeing Dutch's face darken, he immediately changed the subject and said with a sorry smile:

"I know, I know, what happened after that was indeed a little trouble caused by me, but isn't our life always full of accidents like this and that? In terms of the result, we are the winners. , that’s enough. Dutch, let’s discuss this bank cash carriage now! This is my carefully prepared apology gift.”

After taking a look at Javier and the others, Dutch finally nodded to Micah. This was the end of Micah's trouble in Strawberry Town.

Others might be dissatisfied, but seeing that Daqi didn't intend to pursue it, they gave up their respective ideas.

After all, everyone knows that everything is weighed in Dutch's heart.

Among them, Micah is actually different from the other people who joined Dutch. Most of the other people were rescued or taken in by Dutch, but Micah was saved by Dutch. Dutch invited Micah to join out of gratitude.

In theory, Micah didn't owe Dutch anything.

So in Dutch's opinion.

Although Micah caused trouble, the final result did not bring them any losses.

What Dutch just said was more about expressing an attitude to others, and then asking Micah to give others an explanation.

Originally, Dutch's plan for Micah was to 'lift it high and put it down gently'.

"Tell me about this plan. The gang is in need of cash right now. You may not know it yet, but Pinkerton has already chased Valentine. We may have to move to other places soon."

When Micah heard Dutch mention Pinkerton, his expression was very calm. He didn't seem to be surprised by it. When he heard Dutch say that he was preparing to move the camp, he asked curiously:
"Where are we going next? And where are the Arthurs? Why didn't I see him in the camp at this time." "It hasn't been decided yet. I'm discussing this issue with Hosea." Dutch said as he looked over Hosea glanced at him and saw that his old friend had been somewhat silent recently.

As for the questions related to Arthur, Dutch simply chose to ignore them.

Micah leaned forward and suggested to Dutch:
"Otherwise, we should go back to Blackwater Town to find the hidden money. As long as we have that sum of money, we don't have to worry about Pinkerton. A happy and unrestrained life is just around the corner. Dutch..."

Dutch didn't hesitate. He still had the same attitude as when Micah mentioned this suggestion in the past, which was rejection.

Dutch still claimed that now was not a good time and he would get it back when the time was right.

Although Micah had guessed that this might be the result before he spoke, he was still very disappointed, so he could only work hard with Dutch to promote his prepared plan to rob the bank's armored truck.

Just as Dutch and Micah were discussing the plan.

Sean also returned to camp with Strauss.

The two of them came back at this time with their own purposes. Sean had news to bring to Dutch, while Strauss came back to pack his things and prepare to say goodbye to Dutch.

Karen, as soon as she saw Sean coming back, she rushed to greet him, but she was not here to care about Sean, but to ask for news about Arthur.

Sean still had the same heartless smile.

He joked to Karen:
"Ms. Jones, shouldn't you take care of me first? I'm telling you, I'm riding back and forth until my butt is almost split into four pieces. How about I go to your tent later and you can rub it for me? A rub?"

Faced with Sean's dishonest look, Karen kicked him directly on the butt, but not with much force.

Karen thought to herself, Mom, I haven’t drunk too much, so I’m not in the mood to do this with you.

"If you know anything, just tell me quickly, otherwise I will rub your butt with a wine bottle in a moment."

"Don't, don't, don't do it. I'm really scared of you. Arthur is fine. He won't really leave us. Is there anyone here who doesn't know that Arthur won't leave us all like this? Yes, don't worry, he will come back sooner or later." After Sean said that, he quickly attacked Karen with his mouth, and then ran towards Dutch's tent with a smile.

Karen didn't catch up, but just stood there and scolded Sean for being a 'quick shooter'.

What does this mean? No one else understands it anyway.

"What's the matter, Mr. McGuire?" Dutch asked Sean.

Of course, Dutch had already heard the news of their return, because he knew that Sean had gone after Arthur before, so what Dutch wanted to know first was that Sean came to him now because he had something to say to him. It was Arthur who asked him to bring a message to him.

Sean took a look and saw that there were other people there. He put away his playful smile, mainly because Micah was also in the tent, and he said:
"Dutch, we bumped into Detective Pinkerton on the road."

"Then what? Did you exchange fire? Was Arthur injured?" Hosea asked nervously from the side. Arthur and the others ran into Pinkerton. They must have encountered a fierce battle, but now they are not with Sean. Coming back together, he must be injured.

As for whether he was dead or caught, Hosea didn't think much about it at all. Looking at Sean's current condition, he knew that both scenarios were impossible.

Micah stood in the corner, then raised his ears and listened carefully to the conversation between Dutch and Sean.

"No, this group wants to make a deal with us." Sean replied looking at Dutch.

Dutch frowned. Sean usually talked a lot, but when it came time to talk about business, his words came out like squeezing out toothpaste. Dutch had no choice but to continue asking:

"What deal?"

"The people at Pinkerton said they would let the rest of us go as long as Dutch van der Linde was handed over."
