Finding Jack

The men rode off to the Braithwaite's manor with vicious intent, alot of them angry about Jack's kidnapping but none more so than John. He felt terrible as he knew he had not been a good father to Jack and he knew Abigail would not be happy if he didnt get that boy back in one piece, safe and sound.

It was completely dark now, almost the dead of midnight, not even a breath of wind in the air. The entire gang of men rode up to the Braithwaite manor and dismounted just outside the walls. They all grabbed their guns, ready for a fight and began storming towarda the house in a line, almost like a firing squad in a battallion. "Get down here now! You inbred trash!!" Dutch yelled as they kept approaching the house. This caught the attemtion of Miss Catherine Braithwaites son's as well as a few guards they had.

They came out the house and took up a few defensive positions also ready for a fight. "What the hell you want? Get out of here." The Braithwaite yelled back. "Where is the goddamn boy?!" Dutch yelled but it seemed the Braithwaites werent too keen on talking.

"Well, okay then...if thats how you wamt this to be." Dutch said in half a murmur as he then proceeded to shoot the Braithwaite son dead causing a massive shootout. "Take Cover, boys!" Dutch yelled out as the bullets began raining down at them, the men went and took cover and the shootout started. Their was only a handful of guards outside, a few on the pillars at the front of the house and about 3 on the upstairs balcony. Although in a manner of mere minutes..all that was left was dead guards as the gang members emerged from their cover now and began heading closer and into the house.

Dutch gave the men a few orders, basjcally telling all of them to keep watch outside whilst Hosea, Dutch, Arthur and John headed into the house to look for John. "Arthur, you search downstairs with John, me and Hosea will go upstairs." Dutch said as he began walking upstairs. Arthur and John searched the whole bottom floor of the house rather quickly but couldnt find him then they heard Dutch yelling at them to get upstairs so they did. They went upstairs and found a room which seemed to be really locked down from inside almost like a big closet was shoved infront of the door and blocking it.

Dutch and Hosea kept trying to pry it open until a shotgun balst came through from the otherside of the door, thankfully missing them both but quickly told them, they needed another way into the room..until...a bunch of guards and lawmen rolled up to the house. "We got more company, fellas!" John yelled from the balcony as he saw horses and wagons full of men riding straight towards them looking angry and ready for a fight.

"Hold them off boys!" Dutch yelled as yet another shootout broke out, this time lasting alot longer. The house was lmost completepy surrounded from three different sides filled with men. The bullets rained and rained but in the end the gang was successful and holdimg them off and even caused some of the men to turn tail and run away.

"Hey, Arthur...come help me with this door." John said having found a door from the balcony that seemed to lead into the locked down room. Arthur nodded "3...2...1..." He said as both men shoved against the door and broke into the room which had Mrs Braithwaite in as well as two guards who Arthur shot instantly and quickly. Dutch and Hosea then finally came into the room and grabbed her, Dutch pointing his Schofield Revolver right against her chin as he held her against the wall "Where is the boy..?"

The Braithwaite woman muttered for a while trying not to tell them but eventually told them with a chuckle thinking she had won or she had just gone plain crazy. "My boys gave him to Angelo Bronte..so my guess is either Saint Denis, or on a boat to Italy." Dutch glared and then dragged the woman by her hair down the stairs "We're done here..burn this place down into the ground." He said going downstairs. The men did as he asked and soon the house was up in flames as they all stood outside with Mrs Braithwaite having a few more words about Morality and the such.

Eventually they were done and most of the men were leaving except Arthur who looked at Catherine one more time "What we doing about her?" He asked Dutch "Leave her, I told you she was crazy anyway." Dutch replied

Arthur shrugged and walked off beginning to head with the gang back to camp and as they did Mrs Braithwaite laughed and went back into her burning manor basically taking her own life.

Back at camp, Abigail was still worried out of her mind, feeling a whole tornado of emotions of worry, Anger, sadness. Anything and everything a mother could be feeling when she loses a child, she was feeling it and this was only made clear when she saw all the men return without Jack. John tried to reassure her telling her they at least knew where to start looking and would work on a plan the next day.

Everyone then tried their best to get some rest. The next day Arthur, John, Hosea and Dutch were all gathered around the round table at camp discussing what to do. However their discussion was interrupted by Lenny coming over "Dutch, we got a problem..." he said moving out the way to reveal two Pinkerton agents, a Mr Milton and Mr Ross, the same Pinkertons who had confronted Arthur before.

The men spoke soon getting surrounded by the whole gang including Sadie and Simon "I don't want to kill all these folk Dutch, I just want you." Agent Milton said as Dutch nodded then agreeing sarcastically "Well, excuse me my friends I need to go with my new friend here.." he said as everybody in the gang then reached for their revolvers or cocked their rifles not letting Dutch go anywhere and proving their loyalty to Dutch. "Well, seems like you are outgunned here...Lenny, why dint you show our friends here out and make sure they leave."

Agent Milton grumbled as Lenny tried shoving him to indicate he should leave "Get your hands off me boy! You will all die miserably and savagely..and ill return with an army." He said as he and Agent ross then left.

"What now?" John asked Dutch. "We need to move again." Dutch said. Arthur nodded and brought up the idea of going to Shady Belle, the big old rundown plantation house he and Lenny had cleared out previously. "It should only buy us a few days but its a good spot." Arthur said to Dutch, Dutch nodded "Okay, you take John and go ride ahead..make sure its safe and ill get everyone moving with the wagons. Lets move people!"

Arthur and John then left and began heading to Shady Belle whilst the rest of the gang began loading up the wagons and packing up camp to move.
