"Now!" Dutch pointed a gun at Micah, and one at Arthur. "Who amongst you, is with me and who is betraying me?"

I looked over at Javier, ready for him to join us...but he didn't. He went over to Dutch, along with Williamson.

"Bill, Javier...think for yourselves." Arthur coughed.

Suddenly, I saw Rosa from the corner of my eye. She began to move toward Dutch, almost as if she were only following Javier. She looked incredibly hesitant to do so too.

"Rosa..." Arthur looked over to Rosa. "Come on, kid. You're smarter than that." He pleaded. "Don't fall for it. This ain't you."

"I'm sorry, Arthur. I just want this to end." Rosa didn't even have her gun out. She couldn't even stand to look at us for too long. Rosa only stood behind Javier, like a scared little kid. Poor girl. We strained her so much. I had no clue she would side with Dutch. If I did, I would've tried my hardest to prevent it.

"Come on, Rosa." I spoke up. "Come with us."

"Don't listen to them, Rosa." Micah told her. "They'll only leave you."

Rosa's head jerked to the side. It seemed as she didn't know who to listen to.

Sadie will be heartbroken.

After Arthur and all that happened, I had to go back to Abigail. I joined her and Jack in Copperhead landing. I greeted them both with a hug.

Sadie watched from the distance. She stared at me in confusion. "Where's Rosa?"

Tilly asked the same.

Abigail pulled away from the hug and gave me that same strange look. "She on her way?"

I looked over at Sadie. I approached her. She shook her head. "John Marston, where is she?"

"I'm sorry, Sadie." I apologized. "It seems she chose Dutch."

"What?" Sadie seemed sad. "She wouldn't- are you joking with me, Marston?" She asked and I shook my head. "Unfortunately, not."

"Wha-" Sadie seemed teary eyed. "Well, let's go back for her then." She told me angrily. "I ain't letting that son of a bitch get her. Rosa deserves better." She pulled my arm. "Let's go."

"This place is crowded with Pinkertons." I stopped her. "Her and Javier are probably already halfway across the state. We won't find them."

"We can't just give up on her, John." Sadie cried. "She won't be happy with them. She'll be alone. She's not in the right place to make this decision. Shes ill, John."

"I- I know." I tried to ignore my sadness. "I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. I'm sorry, Sadie."

"Oh, Rosa." Sadie began to cry. Abigail began to comfort her. I was clueless on what to do. I felt just as heartbroken as Sadie.
