then Arthur say which town then Archibald say Rhodes sir you don't know it where we're headed right now ain't what it was before the war but it has it charms I'm sure you already know of the Braithwaites then Arthur say like I said just got down here then Archibald say another big family in these parts they have an estate west of here awful people truly awful they've been fighting with

has been a real pleasure the mostly good citizens of Rhodes we welcome you then Dutch say well we're just honored to be here then Leigh say make your friend behave we got enough trouble from some of the residents old timers who've gone sadly to seed and lost their dignity then Arthur say where is Nia then Hosea say she went to see the doctor the sheriff send her then Dutch say how terrible come along now I will keep this fellow on the straight and narrow then Nia had walked over to them then Leigh say you got that hand looked at then Nia say yes I did he even give me some medicine for my hand then Leigh say come back and see us sometime soon excuse me gentlemen and lady now Beau these better be ugly rumors is it true you were seen talking to that wretched Penelope Braithwaite then Josiah say can't thank you enough then Dutch say where have you been then Josiah say around then Dutch say where are you staying then Josiah say I'm renting a caravan at the edge of town behind the church it's horrible but no one comes looking the whole town is trapped in this interminable feud between the two families then Nia say the Grays and the Braithwaites then Josiah say yes those are the one then Dutch say interesting then Josiah say two old plantation houses and falling out over rebel gold and marrying cousins and not marrying then Nia say the Grays own a plantation it's an tobacco plantation it's in Caliga Hall turns out the Grays live there then Dutch say Arthur Nia and Hosea you start poking around see what you can find out about that it looks like Nia has already started then Josiah say I have missed you boys and girl I've heard about bounties then Dutch say there's been a price on my head for 13 years it'll take them months to find us down here and it seems like we can have a little sport then Josiah say well they're good bounties then Hosea say where you hear this then Josiah say some fellows I met at a camp near the state line said there was talking of it in bars of the north and west for 500 miles there was talk of super agents or some such then Dutch say super agents I'd love to meet one it's just talk then Josiah say I'm sure it is but I could now tell you then Dutch say stay out of trouble then Josiah say thank you gentlemen and lady then Dutch say okay these two plantation families Arthur you start sniffing around the Grays place see what the story is there and take Nia with you then Arthur say yeah I passed by it earlier with our friend Archibald then Nia say and I been doing work for both of those families but they don't know I'm just using both side and that Braithwaite lady say she trusts me then Dutch say good Hosea you see what you can find out about these Braithwaites then Hosea say all right but I might need Nia for that than you Arthur then Arthur say quite a fishing trip then Dutch say there's still time I'm up for it then Hosea say how about you Arthur have you had enough of the chase for one day then Arthur say sure why not then Dutch say what about you Nia you're coming with us then Nia say sure I'll come then Dutch say great and you can show us how you catch fish with your hands Hosea why don't you lead us to that spot you were talking about I kind of like this place then Hosea say okay let's see if we can avoid any more excitement then they that got on their horse then Hosea say all right gentlemen and lady follow me then Arthur say so how far is this creek then Hosea say it's a bit of a ride still and it's not a creek it's the same lake we camped on just a different part it'll be worth it I saw some big drum and sturgeon should be some rock bass bluegills perch pickerel too it's a good spot Nia you should know it you been there then Nia say yeah I know it I took Matteo there once then Dutch say we'll see if you're as good at catching fish as you are at catching criminals Arthur then Hosea say and Nia you did good holding your tongue for once and you actually listen for once then Nia say it took everything in me to do it then Arthur say Trelawny owes me for that then Hosea say Trelawny owes everyone for something but his information is good then Dutch say plus we are now ingratiated with the local law I'd say it was a worthwhile diversion all around then Arthur say Trelawny's like a bad penny then Hosea say I'm not sure how good a magician he is but he's certainly good at disappearing when he feels like it then Arthur say where does he go then Dutch say everywhere and nowhere it seems we wouldn't have got Sean back if he hadn't been weaseling around down that way then Hosea say hey Dutch remember that time you found him in the outhouse then Dutch say oh yeah we hadn't seen him in weeks we stopped in some dead-end town in the middle of nowhere don't even remember the name then Hosea say you and Bill were off doing something Arthur then Dutch say so we pick some supplies I go to relieve myself open the door and there's Trelawny sitting there newspaper in hand "Mr Van Der Linde" I say "what the hell are you doing here" he said "I could ask you the same thing now if you wouldn't mind giving me a little privacy I ate a rotten oyster" then Arthur say hey maybe they are actually a hundred Trelawnys then Hosea say what a terrible thought then Arthur say so you're going back to see that Sheriff Gray then Dutch say yeah I don't see why not they don't know who we are down here then Arthur say he didn't seem the sharpest of tracks neither did that deputy then Dutch say if he thinks we can be useful to us a little hiding in plain sight I feel like we're always hiding in plain sight but sometimes more smartly than others then Hosea say this is the spot down to the left there I saw some boats around last time be good to get to deeper water yes over there on the shore I'm sure nobody would mind if we borrowed one of these come on then they had got off their horse and went over to the boat then Hosea say all right this looks like a fine vessel then Dutch say okay come on Arthur let's get her in the water then they had got the boat in the water then Hosea say I got a good feeling about fishing here it's supposed to be some incredible sturgeon then Arthur say okay here we go let me rope you boys are too old for real labor no more then Hosea say and you're too dumb for anything else then Nia had let out a small laugh then Arthur say you're still too quick for me old man then Hosea say I enjoy picking on children now take us to the deeper water and pray for good luck and stupid fish then Arthur say what about stupid luck good fish then Hosea say that'll do too keep going I think here is good then Dutch say all right good luck gentlemen and lady then Hosea say I should really come here at dawn or dusk that's when you catch the best fish we should use a lake lure that'll give us a better chance to hook in something big like a sturgeon or like Nia like to use lures she makes when she's not using her hands then Nia say I'm better at using my hands than using a rod then Arthur say what's wrong with good old worm then Hosea say worms are good for tiddlers like bluegill and rock bass but you'd be real lucky to catch a sturgeon with one then Dutch say lures it is then you heard the expert Arthur let's bait up and Nia you start doing what you do then Hosea say keep the lure and moving slowly on the water so it looks like a little fish just asking to be eaten you got a bite fish on the line Arthur then Arthur had got the fish then Dutch say well done Arthur then Hosea say they can row a lot bigger than that feller told me once a monster lake sturgeon near the mouth of the river just South West of Saint Denis 50 pounder he reckoned then Nia had catch a fish with her hands then Hosea say look at Nia go then Dutch say my lord she is good at that then Nia had caught a Largemouth Bass then Hosea say wow good catch then Nia say thanks then Dutch say I would like to see that there hooked him hey Hosea you remember the time we sent Arthur out fishing he came back with three beautiful bass then Arthur say not this again then Hosea say I don't think I do then Dutch say oh yeah you do Nia you should remember as well he was maybe 20 21 walked in all full of himself we had a big feast toasted him all night then Arthur say this was 15 years ago then Hosea say I remember now then Dutch say then the next week Arthur and I are at the market and fishmonger calls out "so how did you enjoy those bass" then Arthur say look you can fish or you can go drinking all day rob someone and buy some fish then Hosea say I got a bite ha got ya I used to go fishing with this feller back in the day Wesley his name was real miserable bastard but he loved to fish we'd go out all the time but one day we were on a river fishing when we see a funeral procession going over the bridge and out of the blue Wesley stands up takes off his hat and bows his head then he sits down picks his rod back up and carries on doesn't say a word so I'm a little surprised and say "Wesley that was nice of you" he replies "well felt like I had to after all I was married to her for 30 years" then Dutch say oh there he is then Arthur say oh dear god I might swim to shore then Dutch say got him then Nia had caught another fish then Hosea say remember those big salmon I caught in Montana last year we had a banquet planned that night until Copper went and scoffed the lot then Dutch say you have had control of that dog then Arthur say he had some spirt though never lost the puppy in him right to the end then Dutch say you know I remember us saying how Blackwater was the furthest East we'd ever been as a group I mean then Arthur say it was like the more we tried to head West the further East we end up then Hosea say we had all those safe spots picked out to lie low in New Austin after the ferry job then Dutch say I like it there still open and wild the way it should be somehow the desert makes you feel closer to the sky then Arthur say no point us trying to get back that way anytime soon Pinkertons have patrols out all over Tall Trees and Great Plains we saw when we went back for Sean then Dutch say well look at us now huh it could be worse plans change that's just how left goes then Nia had caught another fish then Hosea say looks like you got a bite Arthur then Dutch say just got to reel him in now Arthur did I ever tell you my mother's buried in Blackwater then Hosea say really she is then Dutch say apparently so I only found out from an uncle of mine years later last I knew she was still outside Philadelphia I left home at 15 and didn't see her again she and I didn't always see eye to eye I wasn't always a very obedient child then Hosea say I can only imagine then Dutch say still I loved her my own way and she me in hers somehow even from the grave she managed to have the last laugh you're getting the hang of this then Hosea say keeping that one eh then Arthur say I reckon we call it fellers and lady then Hosea say already then Arthur say you ain't been chasing down outlaws then Dutch say all right I think we got a decent haul here I know Nia do Pearson will be happy should we head back then Hosea say we could keep the boat not too far back to camp from here then Dutch say good idea could be useful then Arthur say what about the horses then Dutch say well they'll find their way back then Hosea say just follow the South Arthur then Dutch say that was fun thank you boys and girl now Hosea then Hosea say yes then Dutch say how about a song then Hosea say okay all right I got one for you then Hosea say I asked that gal to give me some then Arthur and the rest say mmm hmmm mmm hmmm I asked that gal to give me some she says "wait til taters is done" mmm hmmm mmm hmmm I couldn't wait til the taters was done mmm hmmm mmm hmmm I couldn't wait til the taters was done threw her on the floor and knocked out some mmm hmmm mmm hmmm I wish to god I'd passed her by mmm hmmm mmm hmmm I wish to god I'd passed her by taters got burnt and so did I mmm hmmm then Dutch say that was pretty good but you know what song we should be singing then Hosea say what then Dutch say well look at us four mariners then Hosea say ah of course well we be four poor mariners newly come from the seas we spend out lives in jeopardy while others live at ease shall we go dance this round a round a round shall we go dance this round a round a round and he that is a bully boy come pledge me on this ground a ground a ground we care not for those martial men tat do our states disdain but we care for the merchant men who do our states maintain to them we dance this round a round a round to them we dance this round a round a round a round and he that is a bully boy come pledge me on this ground a ground a ground a ground a ground a ground then Dutch say oh bravo but you know we should not let the folks back at camp think we had too much fun then Hosea say indeed not then Dutch say all right I think I well I mean we are going to be okay I know I always know whenever I got you three by my side things are going to be just fine this place will be good for us for now anyway then Arthur say I hope so then they had got to the shore then Nia had got out of the boat and got her sacks of fish she had caught and went over to Pearson then Dutch say well I am going to take in the view then Hosea say I'll give these fish to Pearson then Matteo had saw Nia and went running over to her then Matteo say look mama look what I made then Nia say what did you made baby then Matteo say I made a necklace and it's for you momma then Nia say thank you then Matteo had ran off and went to go play with Jack then Nia had went over to the horses and got on Bella and left camp and went to the saloon and got a drink and sat down then Mary had walked in and she had saw Nia sitting at a table then she had went over to Nia and sat with her then Nia had looked up from under her hat and saw Mary was sitting in front of her then Nia had rolled her eyes and looked back down then Mary say I need you to stay away from my Arthur he is mine and mine only and he was with me last night and we all know he will choose me and not you it will always be me and nobody else and he loves me and me only then Nia had kept her head down cause she been trying to keep her cool cause Dutch told them not to cause any trouble in this town but she couldn't help but to think that Mary was right then Nia had got up and left the saloon and got on Bella and went back to camp
