Chapter 28: The Duel

Warning! This chapter is quite graphic and a bit gory.

It was a cold day, but he could feel anything but cold as he ran out the restaurant.

"Hey!" The Red Wolf called out as he saw the girl trying to make off with his things. "Hey! You girl! Get back here right now!"

She stopped dead in her tracks as she heard the voice getting closer. She didn't know what to do as she slowly turned around to see the man in red clothing walk closer to her. Her heart pounded as she felt the feelings of terror. She made a gamble to steal from him, but it didn't pay off at all.

"Give them back" He stated firmly with no nonsense, he didn't care about the cold as his rage was more than enough to keep him going. The snow just disappeared as it faintly fell on him.

"I have no idea what your talking about" Mary-Beth lied as she tried to smile nervously.

"Yeah you fucking do. My ring, my money now!" He had his hand on his right Scholfield as he walked closer to her with his spurs clinking on the ground as he walked over.
"For a thief like yourself it must be pretty embarrassing to have yourself caught."

Mary-Beth started to step back a bit as she saw the man stepping closer to her. As she looked at his face, she realised how handsome he was along with his charming English accent. She was heading back towards the wagon where the others were and had hope that someone would see this. The look on him meant imminent danger. Realising now that this person who she robbed from was the one who caused the gang's current problems.

But fortunately her saviour showed up as he stepped in-front of her. He gently put her behind him as she let Arthur Morgan deal with him.

"Why don't you leave the girl alone Red Wolf?" Arthur growled with his voice laced with venom, he too had his hand over his holster with his blue eyes glaring at the opponent opposite him.

Glancing over to the other person, he knew that voice. He hadn't seen him as much but he shared the same rage onto him. It was a volcanic rage as he spat out. "This is between me and her, Arthur. Now fuck off."

"If anyone tells me to fuck off then it is between me and them." He retorted back.

"Tell her to give me back what's mine. And it's all over Morgan." Red Wolf replied stoically trying to keep himself composed as some people in town had started to take notice of the scene unfolded.

"Is that so? Even after your shot some guys over a misunderstanding!" Arthur shouted back.

"Liar, your just nothing but a cheap and dirty liar Arthur." The wolf snarled at him.

Arthur had enough as his free hand turned into a fist and his other hovered closer to his revolver. "You better leave her alone or I'll make sure your face will match your clothes."

"I'd like to see you try. I've killed better fools than you." His cockiness and vanity was showing off now making Arthur more angry at this young man. This young man had no right to steal their scores, shoot John and Davey, steal from Dutch and disrespecting him to top it all. It was about time he had to be dealt with right here and right now.

A set of boots was heard from a distance as Jessica Green ran towards the scene as she tugged onto her lover's shoulders trying to calm him down. "Rob! This is going too far!"

"I know what I'm doing Jess." He reassured as he kept his emerald eyes peeled on both Mary-Beth and Arthur.

"We'll Id listen to your girl if I were you wolf-man. You waste your time howling at me over nothing then makes you less of a man." Arthur insulted as Tilly and Uncle began to watch the scene unfold. With Uncle edging closer to see if he had to do something.
