Arthur awoke to the sound of Javier calling his name. "Arthur, wake up." Javier said, standing over Arthur. "Dutch's wantin' you to come with me and a few of the guys to rob a bank." Javier said, rolling his eyes at the mention of the job. Most of the gang memebers had begun to dislike all these early morning missions.

Arthur sat up and rubbed the sleep fron his eyes. "Now- Why 'n the world are we doin' this?" Arthur asked, frusterated after being woken up so early in the morning. "Y'know, we need money." Javier said.

Arthur rolled his eyes and dragged himself out of bed. "Alrigh', gi'me a sec." He said, changing into his day clothes and grabbing his holster. He walked towards his horse, a strong and beautiful shire that was given to him by Hosea, named Baylow. He begin to ready his horse for the day, patting the gentle giant. Lenny walked up as Arthur finished getting Baylow ready. "You finally done?" Lenny asked, sarcastically. "Thought we was gonna be here all damn day!" He said, laughing and walking back to his horse. Arthur chuckled slightly and mounted Baylow. He rode over to Javier and the rest of the boys who would be coming along. He nodded at Javier, signaling he was ready, and they were off.

The ride to Saint Denis was fast because the boys had made the risky decision to enter and exit along the railroad track that led very close to their camp. "Alright boys, this is it." John said, putting his mask on and getting off his horse, grabbing his rifle. Arthur got off and grabbed his shotgun, sliding his mask up as well. The two waited for Lenny and Javier, then kicked open the doors of the bank.

" A'right, everybody on the ground, now!" John shouted, taking the lead. The screams of people filled the room. Arthur looked around to see if anyone wasn't listening to John, stopping his eyes on a girl. She was gorgeous, with (h/l) (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes. She was huddled in the corner, listening to John's demands, but unlike everyone else, she didnt look scared. She looked almost relieved. Arthur shook his head gently and turned his attention back to the worker. "A'right, open the damn safe!" He shouted, pushing the worker towards the safe. The man tripped over his feet and slammed his head into the safe wall, causing Arthur to have to hold back a laugh to keep up his intimidating look.

The man took about 4 minutes to open the safe, earning a few smacks from Arthur and shouts from John. Arthur had glanced back at the beautiful girl from earlier, and this time, they made eye contact. Arthur couldnt help but smile when she began to blush, causing her to smile back. He shook it off and went back to the man, shouting at him. The moment he opened the safe Arthur entered and took the money they had. He came back out with a few thousand dollars and shouted at the boys. "A'right, lets go!" He shouted.

As Arthur and the men began to walk to the door, a small voice spoke from behind them. " Im sorry, but.." The voice paused. "Could I come with you..?"
