The trapper and a gang.

CH36: One last train

The next day, Arthur and Sarah return to the camp. They saw Dutch sit in his tent and decide to go see him.They noticed he was talking to himself.

- Well, at least you ain't run off. He said.

- What you talking about? Asked Arthur.

- Pearson left... old Uncle... the traitors. Both gone...  Both gone at dawn. They said to young Tilly they were running to save themselves. I think Mary-Beth left as well.

- So it goes. Said Sarah, looking around.

- They are goddamn cowards, all of them. Cowards.Of all the time we spent, to run off...

- Well, I guess they don't wanna die, Dutch. Said Arthur.

- Ain't nobody gonna...

Dutch put a hand on Arthur's shoulder and took him away from the others. Sarah realized that she had to deal with it.She notices that Arthur is still coughing, Dutch is asking too much. She worries about him. And she is also angry with Dutch, he knows that Arthur is not well, and yet he still asks Arthur to trust him, that his so-called plans are perfectly calculated ...

She's going to sit next to john and wait for Dutch and Arthur to come back.Sadie hands her a cup of coffee, and she thanks her, nodding.She turns her head for a moment, and see that there is tension. Arthur is tired of all that. And yet he accepts. One last train.

She's worried about what's going to happen. She puts her hand on her belly for a moment. She hopes everything will come to an end soon.She saw Dutch and Arthur come back, she gets up before the others and approaches Arthur and puts a hand behind his back.They exchange a quick glance and turn to Dutch.

- We have work to do my friends, let's go. Come on, we are gonna borrow a little money... from Old Uncle Sam and be out of his hair, once and for all. Said Dutch.

Sarah notices that Dutch seems upset. She gets on her horse and gets close to Arthur.

- I would feel better that you do not come ... He said whispering to Sarah.

- I know. But I have no choice, like you... I will not put myself too much forward, okay?

They exchange a look, Arthur sighs and says:

- Okay, I'll cover you.

- Me too. Always, Arthur.

On the way, Dutch tells John to go get the dynamite and meet back up outside of Saint Denis.

- I'll go with him. Said Arthur.

- As you wish. Respond Dutch.

Sarah stays with the others and keeps on going, she rides beside Dutch, without saying anything. She does not want to talk to him.

- I'm glad to have you by my side, Miss Gardner. Said Dutch.

- I've always been there, Dutch. I always contribute.

- Indeed, and I thank you for it.

She looks at him quickly, he goes crazy, that's all she sees.

* Make it finish quickly .... *She thought.

They arrive at Lemoyne and await the return of John and Arthur with dynamite. When they are there, Dutch and everyone continues.They arrived at the station, the train is still not there.

- Alright... Said Dutch.He gets off his horse.

- Cleet, Sadie... you board half way along. John, Sarah and Arthur are gonna board at the back. Rest of you...  follow Micah and I, and join once they stop the train. Explain Dutch.
