I had woke up early in the morning. In fact I couldn't sleep at all, I was so worried for what was going to happen and if Arthur was right..but i still didn't want to listen to him. I needed to go.
I was by Pearson's wagon scrubbing a few dishes when I heard Dutch speaking with Hosea from upstairs.
"Do you really think this is well thought out?"
"..I don't know...but, it will work out I believe it will" Dutch hesitated.
Now knowing that even dutch was worried made me almost sick to my stomach. I felt a lump rise in my throat but I forced it back down as I tried to take deep breathes.
"Mrs bell" I heard someone say from behind me.
"Oh, H-hi Hosea"
"What's wrong? You're acting..odd"
"I don't know what you mean" I said clearing my throat.
"Vanessa, don't try to trick me, I know somethings wrong by the look on your face" he smirked.
I exhaled. "Im worried Hosea"
"I know....I am too, but everything will be fine...even if something happens we will all be fine"
"I don't know Hosea..Arthur seems to think that something real bad is gonna happen"
"And maybe he's right, but we don't know that until it happens" Hosea said placing a had on my shoulder."Don't overthink it...you've matured a lot over the years..the old you would've been all over this without a thought in mind about weather or not people were going to die. You've become an amazing adult Vanessa Levine...Bell" Hosea chuckled.
"Thank you.." I smiled as Hosea tapped his palm against my cheek before walking away.
Even though Hosea's words were comforting I still was sure this would end badly.
And sure enough, it did.
As the time came Micah, john, Arthur, Javier, Dutch and I saddled up while Hosea and Abigail rode on the wagon full of explosives and bill and Charles rode on a larger wagon for the money we were going to collect.
As we rode closer and closer to saint Denis my stomach began to turn. I looked over a Micah as he gave me a confident smile. Then I looked back where I saw Arthur glance at me with a straight face. Arthur knew I was nervous, why couldn't Micah tell.
The bridge to saint Denis came into sight and Hosea decided to go ahead with Abigail to go forth with their part of the plan. The rest of us rode towards the bank in an ever suspicious group. And then there it was. The large yellow bank just off the corner of the long street. We all dismounted and hitched the horses. I took one final look around before utter chaos erupted. And something sure did erupt. Just down the street a loud boom came from one of the buildings giving us the cue to head in.
"Oh I love that Hosea" Dutch laughed as we ran towards the building. Dutch kicked in the door and boomed across the room. "Ladies and gentlemen this is a hold up, don't do nothin stupid."
A few women began to scream and the men shivered with fear as bill ushered them into a back room. I stood around the large counters with Lenny, Javier, Micah and Charles as Arthur forced the bank clerk to open the vault. As the clerk took his sweet time Arthur began to get angry and cracked the butt end of the gun against the mans head making him tense in pain. I think Arthur was letting out some rage that was built up from our fight. But finally the vault was opened and Arthur rushed in to unlock the safes. Bill had made sure the clerk gave Arthur the codes as he was able to open one of the safes before the law began rushing to the bank.
"Hurry up in there boys!" I called out.
"Its the law!" John hollered.
