I was devastated. Sean was dead. And I couldn't bare the thought of him without crying. I stayed in my tent most of the day. There was some commotion but I didn't care.
I had cried myself to sleep only to wake up to Micah placing a bowl of stew on the table beside my head, placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Sean wouldn't want to be living in your tent all day hun..he'd want you to laugh and joke about all the memories you two had together, reminisce about the good times not the bad" Micah whispered before leaving the tent.

"Come here Sara, wipe your eyes you know your uncle Sean loved you a lot okay?" I heard Micah tell Sara making me cry again.

Sean had made such an impact in not just mine but Sara's life, I didn't know what to do. Sean was the only one who could cheer up the camp with his stupid jokes but that was gone. Who was going to annoy Arthur? Or head butt the O'Driscoll or even piss off Hosea. I missed Sean and regretted not getting the chance to say goodbye.

"Dutch we got a problem" Lenny announced.

Sitting up from my cot I stepped out of my tent looking in the direction of Lenny when i saw two law men behind him.

"Dutch Van Der Linde? This is agent ross and I'm agent Milton of the Pinkerton detective agency, you lot are on civilized land and id advise you all leave" the man declared earning a chuckle from dutch.

Wiping my eyes i hurried towards the circle surrounding these two lawmen. Everyone had their hand readied at their gun for any conflict. Dutch began bickering with the two men before getting up with his arms in the air surrendering.

"Excuse me friends but i have a appointment with theses fine men" dutch said.

Miss. Grimshaw cocked her gun holding it up to the men as everyone followed her. Now everyone in that huddle had a gun pointed at the law men.

"I best advise your friends here to leave" Grimshaw growled as the lawmen scoffed.

"I'll be back with 50 men! And ill kill every last one of you"

Lenny escorted the men back to their horses as they rode out of camp.

"Friends, we should get packing. We will find a new camp for the mean time as we are not safe here anymore" dutch commanded as everyone got to work.

The camp was packed up and the gang set off to their new destination. Arthur had suggested a abandoned manor him and Lenny shot up.
When the wagons pulled into the large path towards the house Arthur walked out with his arms in the air.

"Welcome, all'o y'all to my a'humble abode" he snickered. "Don't mind the alligators..or the dead bodies in the marsh" Arthur muttered.

"Arthur son, I love it! You did a great job" dutch praised jumping off of his small horse.

"Everyone get to work, we've got loads of unpacking to do" Dutch ordered as everyone got to work.

I was still worked up about Sean, I still couldn't believe what happened but I couldn't think about it at the moment, right now I had to worry about my family. Hurrying towards Micah He hulled a few boxes into the manor muttering to himself.

"Mr. Bell what is that I hear?" I teased.

"I don't get why I'm the one hulling in everyone's shit!" He whined.

"Stop being such a baby" I giggled shoving his arm as he placed the crates down.

"I'm not a baby, baby" Micah grinned.

Rolling my eyes i turned back towards the door but was stopped by Micah grabbing onto my arm pulling me into him.

"Mr. Bell!"

"Mrs bell" he smirked leaning down and roughly kissing me.

I giggled as he slowly made his way towards my neck.

"Micah, we're out in the open!" I whispered getting a hum in response.

"We could go upstairs" Micah purred.

"Not yet Micah..not yet" i said stroking his cheek as he sighed.

"Alright"

The doors opened and Sara came into the manor quite shyly. She was never really that shy so it was a bit concerning to why she was acting the way she was. As she walked up to Micah and I she put a finger on her lip as she chewed at her nail looking down at the ground.

"Sara what's wrong?" I asked bending down to her level. Sara didn't look me straight in the eyes, something was wrong.

"I saw Two men take jack" Sara explained as shouting began echoing through camp.

"Has anyone seen jack?"

"No sorry Abigail"

"He's probably around here somewhere, don't you worry"

Exiting the manor a frantic Abigail paced around the camp looking for her young boy.

"Miss Roberts!" The O'Driscoll boy called out.

"What O'Driscoll?"

"I think them old woman's son's came to camp and took him"

"What!" Abigail scouted in terror hurrying towards dutch.

"Dutch! Oh Dutch help please!" She cried.

"Miss Roberts what is all this commotion?"

"That Braithwaite woman took my boy!"

A look of anger came across dutch as he called out for Arthur. Arthur came rushing towards them as dutch ordered every gun man in camp to join them to confront that Braithwaite hag.

"Abigail!" I called out running towards her as she cried hoping nothing happened to her son.

"Oh baby what if they don't find my boy in time"

"Trust me Abigail by the look i just saw on johns face you're going to get your boy back, there's no doubt in that" I reassured her.

"Lets hope" Abigail sighed wiping the tears on her cheeks as she walked away towards the manor.

He's going to come back, I know he will.
