Sadie Adler X OC

Finding Jack and Angelo Bronte

John and Arthur rode for Shady Belle together, the whole time discussing Jack. John going on about how he had been a terrible father to the kid and a worse husband to Abigail. Arthur doing his best to console him and talking about Dutch and how they couldnt fully blame it all on Dutch for dragging them into this family feud conflict in the first place.

They soon arrived at Shady Belle, only to be greeted by a few delinquent remaining members of the Lemoyne Raiders who had tried taking over their old hideout again. Arthur and John however quickly made short work of the men and killed all 5 of the men. The two of them then began clearing the bodies and dumping them into the bayou surrounding the big house as food for the gators lurking in the waters. After the first two bodies, Arthur turned to John. "I'll take care of the rest of them..you go up the trail and go meet the wagons and bring them here." Arthur said to John. John nodded and got up on his horse and left to meet with the wagons whilst Arthur cleared out the rest of the bodies.

A few hours later, around midday...the wagons began pulling up into Shady Belle as Arthur walked out the big house and trail outside opening his arms "Welcome to your new humble abode" Arthur said as Dutch climbed down off. "Any issues?" Dutch asked, "Just a few stragglers but taken care of..we should be good here." Arthur said.

"Mr Pearson, Miss Grimshaw...do your thing please!" Dutch yelled before looking at Arthur "We are going for a ride." Arthur and Dutch then proceeded to get up on their horses as Molly cam running over. "Dutch, can I have a word?" Dutch just told her not now and rode off with Arthur, leaving Molly dissappointed as well as other feelings.

As Arthur rode with Dutch, Dutch explained they were going to see this "wonder of the modern-world" that was Saint-Denis as well as to see what they could find out about this mysterious Angelo Bronte. As they arrived into town, they were met with odd glances...the place was way too fancy and rich of a town to be attracting some dirty, and rough looking outlaws who looked like they might not even know what a bath is. "Well, this is it...Saint Denis..lets see what we can find out about Bronte..you go ask around at the Saloon's Arthur and we will meet up and see if we find anything.

Sure enough, thats what they did and ended up meeting up at the main Saloon in town where Dutch had already tried asking the bartender but was shooed away so he sent Arthur to do the same...only it got the same result. However a random person overheard and told Arthur to go find some kids in the alleyway as they would know where to find Bronte.

A long story short, Arthur eventually found out where Bronte was located in the town despite getting robbed by said kids who all worked for Bronte, he then met up with Dutch and John at a park just opposite Bronte's mansion and they headed on over to the gate. "We need to chat with Mr Bronte, my friend." Dutch said to the guard on duty waiting for him to get closer before he slammed his head into the gate, forcing more guards to come running and let them in taking them to meet Bronte. The three of them met him in a room about as fancy as you could expect from an Italian mafia kingpin in a town like Saint-Denis ajd were offered drinks too.

The ever charismatic Dutch somehow got Bronte's attention and managed to strike a deal or at least warm up to the man be it legitimately or not and Arthur and John were sent to deal with a problem of Bronte's with some graverobbers in exchange afrerwards for Jack's safe return to them.

Arthur and John left together for the cemetery, feeling quite nervous and suspicious of Bronte as a man as well as his intentions but Arthur encouraged that they put their faith in Dutch because that meeting could have gone alot worse.

After a few hours and a bit of a run in with the law, the two managed to slipaway out of the graveyard after the massive midnight shootout and headed back to Bronte's place to meet with Dutch again and Jack. As the two arrived outside the gate, Dutch came out the house with little Jack as surprisingly to them all, Mr Bronte had kept his word. Jack was none the wiser but was very excited and happy to see the familar faces again, whilst John was overcome with relief that Jack was okay, he still blamed himself for being a terrible father but he was glad to have the boy back and he knew it would at least make Abigail somewhat happy.

The three men mounted up, putting Jack on Dutchs horse just behind him and began riding back to camp. As they rode each expressed their happiness at having Jack back again as well as John asked Jack a bunch of questions like whether they had hurt him or not. Jack however revealed the oppostie and that he was given a bath and fed spaghetti, which although unfamilar to all of them was delicious apparently and was even taught some Italian words.

Eventually the three of them arrived back at their new camp in Shady Belle and trotted their horses to a slow halt. "Abigail! Abigail!!" Dutch yelled as he got off helping Jack off his horse as well as Arthur and John dismounted. "Well done you two, we are going to celebrate tonight. John, go be with your family and Arthur...thank you." He said patting his shoulder before walking off.

Abigail came full sprinting out of the house, and was so delighted with joy that she couldnt help but begin to silently cry as she ran over and bent down to Hug Jack as Jack ran excitedly screaming "Mama!" Into her arms. Abigail then looked at Arthur and John. "Oh thank you Arthur, thank you.." she said before going to join the party basically ignoring John and what he did for the boy too.

John sighed as Arthur began smoking "Well, uh thank you Arthur..for everything.." John said sounding defeated "Dont worry about it..like Dutch said, go be with your family." Arthur said taking a puff from his cigarette before throwing it down and stomping it out.

Very soon almost everybody was huddled around the camp fire with drinks in hand as Javier began playing his guitar and singing in Spanish and everyone began to celebrate Jacks safe return. The only people not so much y the campfire and a bit of distance away were Sadie, Simon and Kieran...as the three of them didnt really feel like part of the gang or much like celebrating too hard.

Simon came and stood next to Sadie who was busy smoking a cigarette, close to Pearson's wagon and crossed his arms lightly. "Not much in the party mood, Sadie?" He asked her giving her a small glance before going back to watching the crowd at the campfire singing and dancing. "Not really, them boys did good though...getting the boy back." Sadie said before taking another puff of her cigarette, her one arm crossed and the other resting on it a bit.

"Yeah, feels nice to see everyone so happy, especially with how things have been going recently...it's nice." Simon said shifting slightly on his feet as it was close to around 3am now and he hadn't slept yet. "I think I am going to turn in for the night, goodnight Sadie..don't stay up too long now.." he said kindly to her as he turned around and began to leave.

"No promises but sleep well, Simon." Sadie said to him as Simon was walking away before continuing her smoke. Eventually, everybody had gone to sleep in the big house or outside by the campfire and things didn't seem so bad for once as the night and part of the morning was slept away and a new day would soon begin.

(Okay, stopping here. Hello everyone, I am so so terribly sorry for the huge delay between parts of this, I really enjoy writing it but its been hard and its only going to get worse with the delays once I go back to University in a month or so. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed, I threw a bit of Simon and Sadie at the end just to make up for all the heavy story event focused parts over the past like 3 parts ive written. But next part will have way more Sadie and Simon so look foeward to that...when I eventually write it. Thanks for reading, love y'all so much and thanks for the continued support
