3rd Person Pov
Y/N returns back to the mysterious man's place with new gear for Harlow (his horse) as the man was on the porch smoking a cigarette as he had already noticed the black haired boy coming into his property
Y/N: Hey mister, been quite a while. Been practicing for a while since our last meeting.
The man points to the placed cans as Y/N understood what he was telling him to do. Loading the pistol, he shoots the 6 bottles as out of 6, he got 4/6 from his previous record of a 2/5 as he looked at it proudly, waiting for the man to praise him
The man nods as he coughed a little as he takes out his gun as he pats Y/N's head as the man got onto his horses
Man: We're going fishing, get on.
Y/N keeps the revolver as he gets onto the back of the man's horse as he watches as they get further from the house and Harlow before stopping near a stream of water close by to the house
Man: 3 rules. 1, don't trust everything.
He catches a small bass as he swung his fishing rod line as it flew back into the water.
Man: 2, Vengeance is affordable if you have a clear plan, no matter how long it took. Months, years, as long as you know your target. 3, the most important rule.
Another fish was on the line, it was a fighter as the man uses all his strength to reel the fish towards him
Man: No matter the fame, money, or rewards, never turn on your family, even if they are bad people.
He pulled the rod up as the fish starts flailing in the air as it was a large bass, bigger than the one caught previously as when that happened, Y/N snagged a bite on his end as be reeled it quickly in to be...
A tiny baby bass.
Y/N: Oh come on...
The man looks away but what Y/N didn't see nor hear was a small snicker from his mouth before he continued to show his nonchalant face and continued fishing as Y/N threw the fish he caught back into the water as the man looks behind when Y/N had casted his line to see 2 other horses, with men in suits, identical round hats and a familiar badge
Y/N: (Those are Pinkertons...)
???: Long time no see, Legend of the Wild West, known as Red Harlow
Y/N looks at the man as he immediately realised, the man who saved him was THE Red Harlow. Despite looking older, the scars on his face and burnt right hand was enough to say enough
Ross: Agent Ross, my partner, Agent Milton. Sorry to interrupt your fishing trip with your son I presume.
Y/N hid behind Red Harlow
Ross: But we'll need to take him in. Why? He's a wanted kid, being a con-artist. He recently killed 3 men, two in an explosion and one with a broken skull, for Colm O'Driscoll.
Red: Not the boy's fault he had to survive.
Ross: Just doing my job, now come with me-
Red Harlow points his pistol as Agent Ross' head as Agent Milton pointed his Lancaster Repeater right back at him
Red: One wrong move and I'll send you and your partner to hell.
Ross: Oh you don't wanna play this game, Red Harlow. You're old and run down now, you ain't as fast as you were in the 80s, killing all those gangs and the man who killed your father. I suggest that you give us the boy before we cut your life short.
Red Harlow didn't hesitate as he shoots a bullet next to Ross' head before pointing it back to the Agent's head
Ross: You have a nice day, Red Harlow, your son too. Enjoy it while you can. Come on, Milton.
Milton keeps his repeater up before he and his partner were gone into the forest. Y/N knew that Ross was only sarcastic on him calling the boy Red Harlow's son but it felt nice to hear for some reason as the two immediately went back to the ranch after threatening Pinkertons.
But now what? Y/N thought, he was saved by THE Red Harlow only to drag him into his personal life and now made a legendary gunslinger who was an ex bounty hunter into an outlaw for threatening to kill Agent Ross.
Red Harlow went back inside the house with the fish, as Harlow (the horse) ate a hay bale in peace as Y/N, knowing that he and Red know that if the boy ever left, he'll be gunned down since he's 14, he'll barely make it out alive, meaning he had a few days to get whatever and get out.
As such, not wanting to bother the Legend himself, he immediately saddled up with whatever he had as he placed the gun he was given into his satchel as he held the reigns of Harlow, about to leave
Red: Wait.
Y/N stops his feet from kicking Harlow's ribs as he looks at Red Harlow
Y/N: I-I'm really sorry mister, I really wished I could have repaid you instead of getting you into my own problems
Red Harlow waves him off as he puts a journal, a list of shooting techniques, 500 dollars, gun equipment, gun oil and extra ammo for the pistol he gave to Y/N.
Red: Remember the 3 rules.
He takes off his hat as he puts it on top of Y/N's head
Red: That is enough to repay me. My time is over, I want to rest, this story is yours now. YAH!!
He slaps Harlow from behind as the horse neighed as it ran at full speed as Y/N watches as Red Harlow waves him farewell, forever as Y/N never looked back from the ranch.
Time skip
The following morning, the sound of gunshots woke Red Harlow up as he sighed, walking out in his outfit as he was surrounded by Pinkertons
Ross: Last chance, Red Harlow, the boy, give him to us or we'll send you to your parents
Red: He's long gone, not gonna say nothing.
Ross: Well that makes it more tiresome... Kill him
