The Red Wolf ~ A Red Dead Redemption story

Chapter 4: Joys of youths

Arthur walked on the streets of Jamestown. It was Dusk and the Outlaw was quite tired after he robbed a supply wagon with Davey, went hunting for deer and began scouting the gold mine that he and Hosea were meant to investigate. 

He didn't get very far as there were many armed guards around the mine and that he wanted to wait for Hosea to be get ready for their scheme. Whatever they planned together it was usually met with laughter even if the take isn't that good. But since it was a gold mine Arthur had high hopes they'd take a good score from it.

But for now he was minding his own business looking for other leads like Dutch had asked him to do all the time. Though since evening was shortly closing in and he was quite tired, he figured for once he to treat himself. He planned to have a couple drinks in the saloon and then rent a hotel room for the night. He paced his way through town giving a couple greets to whoever was in his way. 

"Women deserve their rights to vote!" A young voice yelled out.

Looking around, there at the street was a young woman in a red dress holding banner. Curious Arthur thought as he walked passed the saloon he were going and heading towards her. As he did he looked at the banner she held more properly as he saw it were a suffragette sign. He had seen some groups of people like that when he were in Minnesota. Though then he was too busy to notice (The distillery robbery with Dutch and Bill took his attention away).

The girl in question looked to be no older than 20 years old. She seemed to be average height for a woman who was also quite skinny. But what was very distinctive was her very long red hair, as it reached down to her elbows. It would seem she liked having her hair loose than to be tied up in a bun. Her winter attire seemed to be making the young woman look more attractive. In some ways it reminded Arthur of Anabelle, Dutch's engaged lover till she was murdered. Though her speeches to the town as everyone seemed to ignore her except for the brutish outlaw, as he approached her.

"Look I can be as strong and smart as any perfect man in this town and yet other people look down upon us. We know our place in this world and we believe it to be equal to this man's world! More than a 1 dollar donation can help the suffragette movement get moving along! Please tell me what you think! We can help make the state a better place if the un-spoken voices are heard in congress! I only argue that we should be equal to men in this godforsaken world!"

"Hey Red what you doing?" Arthur asked as he stood before her.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm explaining why to the many gullible idiots in this town to support women's rights. How come Utah, Ambarino and Wyoming have voting rights for women and not for the rest of the country its absurd!"

The woman replied rather passionate. Maybe this wasn't worth his time, he had no time for politics.

"Well, good luck to ya." He retorted as he turned around.

"What is your opinion on this...mister?"

This time he turned back. Maybe it could be something, he never knew if there could be valuable information from this suffragette speaker.

"Arthur, Arthur Morgan. Well if women want to vote then by all means do it. I'm not someone who likes the government, and they dont like me. They made this land man-unleashe-"

" 'Man unleashed' please don't tell me you'd believe some weird beliefs." She interrupted with an eyebrow raised with a fake smile.

"Not really, that's something my mentor sometimes preaches. But if your gonna do this you better be a true believer. Hell if 'he' spoke the truth then he'd be president." He chuckled whilst crossing his arms.

"What's your name then miss? Don't tell its 'Grand speaker of the Dakotas'"

"Jess, Jessica Green. And I'll take that as a compliment mister Morgan." Then the pair just chuckled with her giggling out loud before composing herself as she looked into Arthur's eyes.
