The next day, Dutch, Arthur, Sarah, and Hosea try to reassure John about his son. But agents Milton and Ross come to get Dutch to hang him. They are convinced that Dutch is manipulating the gang members, and when he pretends to surrender, everyone takes out their weapons and targets both agents.

Agent Milton swears he will return with about fifty men. At this moment, the gang no longer has a choice: They have to find another place to live.

Fortunately, Arthur had heard of a property in Shady Belle, they can settle there immediately. Dutch sent Arthur and John to check the place, and everyone packs up the tents and the material.

After settling in, Dutch and Arthur decided to see if they could find information about Angelo Bronte. Sarah had promised Abigail to do everything to bring Jack back, so she's off to St. Denis.

...............................................................................

The evening has fallen, it is raining and the town is hectic. Sarah likes this atmosphere that emanates from the streets, reminds her when she started her life as a thief, and especially a pickpocket.

She remembers all the men she has managed to fool, and she wonders if she still has that charm that suits her so well.Exactly, if she have to find information about Bronte, just get to work.

She goes to an alley, a saloon is there. But it seems she recognizes someone far away.

* Arthur? ... *

She could approach him and greet him ... but she decides to have fun. She approaches him discreetly, and she takes out her pistol.

Just as Arthur goes into the saloon, Sarah points him with her gun and says:

- Hands in the air, cowboy ...

Arthur, not recognizing Sarah's voice, obeys. Then, turning slowly, he saw Sarah, with a big, mocking smile.

Sarah laughed at seeing Arthur's face, surprised to see her.

- Very funny, Sarah. Said Arthur smiling.

- Yes, it's very funny! If only you could see your face! Hahaha!

- What are you doing here? Arthur asked.

- The same as you and Dutch: I'm looking for information about Bronte.

- And you find something?

- For the moment no. And you?

- No. But it seems to me that we had the same idea: Saloon is a good place to find information.

- Yes ... and it distresses me that I have the same intelligence as you ... Answered sarah with a mocking tone.

- Shut up, Gardner... Arthur answered with a slight smile and gently pushing Sarah.

Sarah likes to tease Arthur, she lets out a last laugh before entering with him in the saloon. Everyone turns to them.The moment is rather awkward, but no matter, Sarah and Arthur exchange a glance, while Arthur goes to the bar to ask the bartender, Sarah notices a man sitting alone at a table.

* He seems drunk ... it will be easy ... *

She sits down at the table, at first the man seems suspicious, but he can not resist Sarah's charm for a long time. A beautiful brunette, with shoulder-length hair, some freckle, a luscious mouth and colored eyes between green and blue. Who could resist such a woman .... especially when one is drunk.

Arthur watched the scene for a moment, he does not really know what to think. He hopes this guy will not hurt Sarah. And this is the first time he sees Sarah behaving this way: a sensual woman. She hides her game well ...
