"Now!" Dutch yelled, while drawing both his pistols out and pointed at Micah and the other at Arthur and Tifa

"Who amongst you is with me" he said as he stepped between everyone "and who is betraying me?" He seethed in anger, glaring at Arthur and Tifa, his tone of voice and his words made her stare at Dutch

"Betraying...?" Tifa asked in a non belief voice at Dutch "Dutch..."

"Bill...Javier,...Think! Think for yourself!" Arthur said as he continued to point his gun at his former mentor and the two outlaws as they stepped to the side Tifa glanced away from the dying Grimshaw and had a sad face looking at Bill and Javier, having stone cold faces as they stared back at her and Arthur. Bill's hand jittered slightly in hesitation as he slowly drifted his barrel shotgun to point at Arthur instead, giving the others beside him a quick shift of eyes

"Please don't do this" Tifa tearfully said as she pleaded with her eyes to Javier and Bill, but to no avail they were not to be reasoned with

Javier had guilt in his eyes as he pointed his pistol upwards

"Lo Siento, Tifa" he mumbled under his breath while Bill frowned his brows in guilt

. . .

This was it...the gang was torn to shreds

"So...this is how it ends, huh?" Tifa muttered as she looked Dutch's way with mixture of a tearful and bitter expression as she drew her pistol but instead of pointing at Dutch it was at Micah "This." She gestured to the snake and the other nobody's with him not including Bill and Javier

"This is how you really are" she finished bitterly "Dutch"

"It's been that way for a long time, no other" Dutch said so matter of factly with Micah nodding to her troll like, ignoring him, Tifa felt her heart ache when Dutch eyed her with an intense glare "Now are you with me or aren't you?!"

'All of this...everything...us, was nothing but a goddamn lie...'

Tifa scoffed and looked down again, Dutch sighed deeply and frowned

"So be it" he mumbled under his breath, turning his back to her and went to get on the count

Right away, Tifa felt like something got ripped from inside of her, she balled her fist very tightly, feeling disgusted with him and herself, she couldn't believe she allowed this man to string her along in his pointless crazy vendetta, to touch her and lead her on, making her think they we're actually gonna have a future together...

There was nothing left to lose at this point...

"Dutch...I have to do what's best for our child and that's to put its safety first...enjoy living in your false facade!" she yelled behind his back, Dutch's hand jolted to a halt hearing what she said, as she looked up at Arthur and he met her gaze

"Arthur, let's go"

Arthur nodded "Lead on" he mumbled as Tifa turned Faith's reigns and galloped with Arthur in the opposite direction

Dutch watched with a shocked face as she disappeared down the dirt road along with Arthur leaving nothing but dust from the dirt and as the hoof beats faded. Micah came up next to the count as Dutch got on the count and also looked at the direction Tifa and Arthur rode down

Dutch looked down at his horse and processed everything that just occurred

'She was...pregnant...this whole time'
