Clyde

Settled

I've been tagging along with Phil for 4 months now. The law seems to be less on our tail, at least we're hoping.  Nobody blames me. Everyone understands. I'm having a hard time accepting it's not my fault.

This place has a lake near it, it's not on the lake. I got used to my little lake spot. I ended up getting a shovel from a local store and made my own little spot by the lake.

I got up and went to the lake once the sun started coming up. This lake was a good temperature usually to just get naked and sit in the water.

I floated in the lake and watched birds fly over me. The sky was a nice blue, purple, and pink. I felt serine.

"Whatre you doing up so early?" Adam called out.

"Go away! What're you doing out here?!" I freaked out.

Adam turned away, "How was I supposed to know you were naked?".

"My clothes are there for one, and why would I be out here in my clothes?!".

Adam didn't answer.

I swam back to the shore and dried off with my towel and got my clothes on.

"Done yet?" Adam asked.

"Yes. Now, what in the hell do you need?" I felt annoyed.

Adam turned around, "I just wanted to hang out. Maybe go on a ride and explore a little? Do a duo rob?".

I smirked, "I can't stay mad. When do you wanna leave?".

"After some breakfast," Adam held his hand out, "My lady?",

I walked past him.

"Come on!".

We walked to camp and grabbed a quick bite to eat.

"What is y'all's plans for today?" Phil sat down beside Adam and I.

I took a second, "Not sure. Sounds like a boring day".

Adam smirked.

"Going to camp somewhere for the day to have endless sex?" Phil joked.

"Okay," Adam stood up, "Why the hell are you so obsessed with who I'm sleeping with? I'm not sleeping with Amira. Never have, never will. Now, you and everyone else can shut the fuck yo about it!".

Adam rushed off. Phil and I both were a little taken back.

"I mean, I just try to joke with the kid" Phil sighed.

I nodded, "Maybe it's going a little too far?".

Phil took a second, "Maybe. You two go have fun, alright?".

I got up and met Adam at the horses.

"He pisses me off" Adam got on his horse.

I got on mine, "I know".

We rode off a little bit and stopped by a little cottage in the middle of nowhere.

"Why did we stop?" I asked.

Adam took a second, "A guy named John Wilikens lives here. He runs an illegal horse business, sounds weird I know. He makes a lot of money off of stolen horses. There's a bounty for 250 dollars just in this state, and who knows what he's got in that crazy little house of his".

"So you wanna turn him in?" I looked at him.

"Yeah. I'll turn him in, you can search the house. I'll be back after. It isn't very far".

I nodded, "Sounds good".

We rode over to the cottage and snuck inside. He was sleeping in his bed. Adam grabbed him by the neck and choked him until he passed out. He tied him, and got him onto his horse.
