The three of us headed back to camp and Sara rambled about how excited she was to show jack her new shoes. Bill pulled Sara off his horse and placed her on the ground as she ran towards Abigail and johns tent.
I giggled heading towards Pearson's wagon.
" hey Pearson"
"Hey Miss Levine, how are you today?" Pearson asked salting some rabbit meat.
"Im doing well, had to bail Micah out of the jail in strawberry, wasn't the highlight of my day" i said pulling out a few potatoes from the sack sitting on the table as I began cutting one up.
"That means he's coming back to camp then?" Pearson sighed.
"Nope, apparently he has to grab some cash for camp before coming back, he said he was a bad boy and dutch is mad at him"
"If he's out near strawberry maybe he should also hunt some food for camp as well"
"Damn, should of mentioned that" I chuckled.
Cutting up a few more potatoes a saw john walk towards the horses and hoist upon his mount kicking it harshly as it sped out of camp. I rolled my eyes knowing that he had fought with Abigail again.
I placed the knife down and headed towards Abigails tent.
"Abigail?"
"In here" she said sounding defeated.
"What happened?" I asked sitting down on the cot beside her.
"John got mad that I mentioned you bought shoes for jack"
"Excuse me?"
"I know, he got mad because i didn't ask him to do it, this man confuses me, one minute he say's he's not his father but than gets upset when i don't ask him to do things for jack" Abigail sighed placing her hands over her face.
"Men are confusing, especially when it comes to men and kids" I reassured her.
"Ugh..i just wish he wasn't like this and acted like a man not some teen"
"He'll warm up one day abby, don't worry"
"Thank you baby" Abigail slightly smiled.
I nodded standing up from the bedroll and walking out of the tent towards the camp fire.
"Vanessa I need to see you again!" Dutch called out. I sighed turning around and heading towards his tent. I really hated it when he'd call me into his tent, it was so weird and i always felt like someone was watching me. Which there always was. It was molly.
"Did you get Micah out of the sheriffs?"
"Yes i did"
"Okay..so where is he?"
"Not coming back to camp, he said you're mad at him so he's trying to make it up to you by finding some cash" I shrugged.
Dutch sighed sitting back in his chair. "Well great, I need you to go on guard duty since Arthur, Lenny and Micah are gone"
"Fine"
"And heres that $15 you wanted" dutch said handing me a clip of money.
"Thanks boss" I smiled taking the clip and walking out of his tent grabbing a shotgun heading towards the entrance of camp where I leaned against a tree cleaning the barrel of the gun.

It had been a few hours and the sun had already set when I saw a horse trot up the path.
"Who's there?" I called out.
"Lenny"
"Oh, where's Arthur?" I asked as Lenny slowed his horse.
