/2 days later/

Strauss gave an address to Sarah, a guy owes money, around 200$, and Sarah volunteered to help get the money back. As she prepares quickly, she meets Arthur.

- You seem to be hurrying, Gardner. Arthur said, watching Sarah get ready.

- Yeah, a guy owes a lot of money to Strauss, he lives in Rhodes.

Sarah gets on his horse and is about to leave.
- Uh ... do you want me to come?

- Yes, why not. The ride will be less boring. she answered with a smile on her lips.

Just after, Sarah and Arthur head for Rhodes.

- Who's this guy? Arthur asked.

- Carl Menrez, he thinks he's smarter than us. He owes Strauss 200$ .

- And he's the one who asked you to go?

- No, I volunteered. I want action.

- And Dutch let you go like that?

- So what? I proved myself right? I can do almost anything, and even you know it. I can handle a gun, I can fight... everything!

- Sure, you're a dangerous woman, Sarah Gardner!

A few minutes later, they arrive at their destination. They come down from their horses, it is a farm, a little in ruins but it seems to be active. Sarah saw a man brushing a horse, she approached him to question him.

- Are you Carl Menrez?

- Who are you?

- We are friends of Mr. Menrez. Do you know where he is?

- Why?

- It's personal.

- Then I can not help you.

Arthur and Sarah exchange a look, then Sarah grabs the man by the throat.

- Listen to me, asshole. Tell us where is Menrez or I rip off your balls.

- You better obey, pal. She's not kidding.Arthur added with a smile in the corner of his mouth.

- He ... he's in the barn, down there!

- Thank you very much! Sarah pushes him to the ground before heading to the barn.

- You are ... very persuasive. Arthur said, walking beside her.

- I have a lot of imagination.

- No doubt about that, Sarah.

They approach a man.
- Carl Menrez? Sarah asked.

- Yes, can I help you?

- You owe us 200 $. Does that remind you of something?

- Oh... yes, I remember. Please, follow me.

The man is surprisingly courteous and smiling. Arriving in front of the house, Carl Menrez screams:

- Get them, guys! Kill them !!

The windows of the house open and men with guns fires at Arthur and Sarah, who take cover behind a cart.

- That bastard! He dare to fuck me? I'm going to kill him!! Said sarah, full of anger.

Sarah and Arthur shot towards them, and manage to kill Menrez's men. But there is still some inside.

- Let's go through the cellar! Follow me, Arthur!
