Red Dead Redemption: The Legacy [Rewrite]

[12]

The next few days, things were put in motion. Arthur and Sanity set out to meet with Dutch in Lagras to Sanity's dismay. Meanwhile, I set out to Citadel Rock to meet Eagle Flies. "You made it," Eagle Flies states as I hop off Salem. "I keep my word, Eagle Flies," I tell him as we both look off to the plantation. "There's a foreman. His name is Danbury. He has an office above the refinery," He hands me a pair of binoculars. I look through them, spotting the office as well as many, many guards. "If the files are as criminating as we believe, Mr. Cornwall's men will destroy them if they know you're coming," I hand him the binoculars, a smirk upon my face. "Cornwall wastes a lot of money to guard his things. Trust me, I know. Trust me, kid. I will be in and out before they'd even notice anything's amiss," He nods. "What will the files say?" I ask. "There'll be a report from Leland Oil Development Company," I nod. "Great. I'll see you in a bit,"

"Stop that woman!" I ran through the oil yard, running from Cornwall's men. After getting the report, I jumped out of the window only to be caught by some drunken idiot. "So much for being silent," I mutter as I take out my revolvers. I begin shooting the men, trying to find a way to get Salem near without being shot. Suddenly, a big explosion catches everyone's eye. I see Eagle Flies waving towards me. I run towards the fire, still shooting the men on my tail. I get to Eagle Flies, who also had Salem. We run off on our horses away from the plantation.

"So, that's being silent," He states, once we get somewhere safe. "Well... that part doesn't matter as much as..." I take out the report from my satchel. "You got it?" I nod. "It was easy. Getting out... not so much," Eagle Flies reaches into his horse's saddle bag, handing me a stack of bills. "Thank you. And whatever you or your tribe need... Let me know," He nods. "Thank you for your help,"

I get to camp by morning time. "Hey, Elisa," Hosea states as I get off Salem. "Hey. How's the bank job coming along?" I ask. "Well... if we play our cards right, it's going to be a good pay out," I nod. "Hey, you know where Sanity is?" I ask him. "Uh, last I checked he was in the shower," I nod. "Thanks,"

As I enter the house, I run into Arthur. "There you are, Kid. Are you ready to go help Eagle Flies?" He asks as he lights a cigarette. "About that..." He stares at me. "What did you do?" He asked. I walk backwards. "Hey, how'd the meeting go?" Arthur takes a puff before chuckling. "You're not going to distract me so easily," I nod. "You go help Mary yet?" Arthur sighs. "No. It went fine. We fought an alligator and got a way into Bronte's mansion. You're not going to get away with this, kid," I nod. "What was that, Sanity? Coming!" I run up the stairs. "Damn that kid," Arthur mutters before walking out.

I reach the bathroom door to find Sean already staring at it. "Are you waiting for an invitation?" I ask tauntingly. Sean glares at me. "That's not funny," "It is, though," I open the door. "Oi, what are ya doin'!?" Sean exclaims. I close the door not answering him. I face the door as Sanity glances at me. "I heard you fought an alligator," "Arthur fought an Alligator. I just shot it," I chuckle. "So, everything's a go?" Sanity hums. "I've noticed something different about Arthur," He states. "How so?" I ask. "He's been coughing. And they sound different from my coughing fits," I stare at the door, thinking to myself. "Micah also started calling him 'Black Lung' instead of cowpoke. You know anything about that?" I shake my head. "No idea... although... I think you might be right,"

Arthur and I ride to Lagras. "Hey, Dad?" He hums, looking over at me. "If something was wrong... you'd tell me, right?" He nods. "Of course, kid. You would be the first to know," I smile and nod. "That's good,"

We get to the docks, where Bill, John, Lenny, and Dutch were waiting. "Sanity didn't come?" Arthur asks as we walk towards them. "No. He wanted to visit his mother," He nods as we approach the men. "Arthur, Elisa. There you are. Come on," An older man is already in a boat. Arthur looks at him. "Thomas, this is my daughter, Elisa," Thomas shakes my hand. "Good to meet you," "You, too," We all climb in the boat. "Thomas, let's get going," "Right you are," Thomas says.
