SADIE ADLER POV:

Arthur, Rosa, and I were camped outside of an old ranch. I suspected that the last round of O'Driscolls were camping out there.

Arthur and Rosa maybe weren't the best people to bring along, but I didn't have anyone else. Arthur was sick and Rosa wasn't well mentally, but they insisted.

I told them the plan as we sat by the campfire. Rosa laid down with her head on my lap.

"Alright, we just sleep out here, then bright and early tomorrow we'll get those sons of bitches. By the way," I looked over at Arthur. "There's a fat guy with a beard in there... he's mine. So if you see him, I want him alive."

"Okay." Arthur said and I nodded. "Alright, i'll stay up and do first watch. You two just relax. Okay, Rosa?" I looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was steady.

Arthur chuckled. "Looks like she's already doing plenty relaxing."

"Oh." I looked down at her and smiled softly. It was shocking that she fell asleep so easily. Recently, she hasn't been the best at keeping sleep. Maybe the change in scenery was good for her. It was nice to be away from that shithole of a camp. Everything was so depressing. You could cut the tension with a knife.

I was really getting worried about her. It seemed as my health progressed, hers just worsened. Ever since Sean, she was different. She was getting better for a moment, but then Hosea and Lenny happened. Now, she's walks around exhausted all the time.

I was also worried of her slipping away too. Rosa had been talking to Micah more recently. It seemed like every time I walked away, I found Micah approaching her; whispering shit in her ear. She had even been speaking to Bill. Those two treated her terribly, I just hope she remembers that.

"It's good that she's gettin' some sleep." I told Arthur. "At least it's something."

Arthur nodded. "Yeah. Has she been okay?"

"I don't think so." I responded. "I'm getting real worried about her." I tucked a hair string behind her ear. "She ain't taking this whole thing too good."

"I don't think anyone's taking this too good." Arthur said. "Her, John, Tilly... they practically grew up within the camp. I understand."

"Yeah..." I thought about it. "lord, I can't imagine." I gently placed her head off of my lap and laid it down. "Alright, you get some rest. I'll take first watch."

"Alright." Arthur nodded.

I ended up not going to sleep at all. It was like I had this anger bubbling inside me. I was tired of waiting for this moment. I wanted them dead. What they did to Jake... what they did to me. They don't deserve to live.

ROSA JUAREZ POV:

Sadie woke me up. "Hey, hey, come on." She shook me. I opened my eyes and she chuckled. "Rise and shine, gunslinger."

I lifted her head with a groan. "It's morning already?"

"Yup." She woke up Arthur with a kick. He rubbed his eyes as he sat up. "Fine morning for a killing."

"Alright, this should be quick and easy. Just let me take the lead." Sadie said as we stood up and grabbed our guns.

"And don't forget... that fat fella... with the beard..he's mine." Sadie looked back at us as we followed her. I nodded. "Okay."

I knew Sadie needed this. This was all her. Revenge felt good. Even if it was a fools game.

We approached the house where two men looked at us. "Hey, hey! They're part of Dutches gang!"
