It's been days since you've last seen him. The bitter cold had begun to set in, and you were worried that things had taken a turn for the worst. You tried to push out all your negative thoughts about what might have happened to Marston as you and some of the other gang members cozied around a small camp fire to warm up in bone chilling cold. You look up to see Arthur morgan heading towards one of the cabins and an idea pops into your head. He can help me find John. Just then Charles Smith, one of the newest gang members, is spotted trailing behind him. You made your way over to them and called them by name, but Arthur kept on walking because he knew what you were going to ask. Arthur enters the cabin, and shortly after Charles and then you. "Arthur, you've got to help me! Please, I'm begging you!" You pleaded. "Why should I? He left us, he left you, for a year! He don't care bout no one but Johnny Marston."  He retorted " you can't possibly mean that Arthur. You were like a brother to him. Yes he's made mistakes, but that don't change how I feel bout' him. I want to find him. He'd do the same for you." Your words finally got to Arthur as you sat in silence for a few minutes. "Alright. Fine. Let's go."

After making your way up the mountain for what seemed like ages, you see in the distance something that looks to be a carcass of some sort. "That looks like the horse he was riding from black water." Charles notices "He must be close."  Charles then pulls out his revolver and fires a shot in the air. A few moments later you hear your beloveds voice yell out "OVER HERE" from a distance away. "This way, he's close. Let's leave the horses behind and go on foot." You and Arthur comply to Charles request and start making your way to the distant voice. After making your way over sharp ledges and slippery slopes you finally see him. You run up to John and embrace him in a warm hug, not realizing his new injuries, most prominently, the ones on his face. He winces in pain but returns the hug. "I've missed you so much. Come on, we'll get you out of here." Arthur walks over to where John is and puts him over his shoulder to carry him to the horses.

While traveling back down the mountain, John tells everyone that he had been attacked by wolves. And as soon as he finishes his story you see the pack above you all. "Speak of the devil." You say in utter shock. Right when the  words escape from your mouth a loud BANG is sounded and one of the wolves tumbles down. You look up to see Arthur with his pistol drawn and aimed at the ravenous pack. You follow Arthur's actions and pull out your own revolver that has your name carved into the handle. You take aim and BANG another wolf topples to the ground. After taking out about what seemed like a dozen wolves you all found your way to camp. Charles dismounts and makes his way around the back of his horse to help John off. You canter up to them and embrace Marston for a second time.

"Don't you ever go off by yourself again! You hear me? I don't know what I would've done if I had lost you." You said to Marston and he quickly quips back with "Aw, so your cold heart does have feelings for me!" Which in return lands a quick punch to the arm which makes John wince once again. "Ouch! Hey, watch it!" " you was askin for it! Of course I have feelings for you!" After you finish your sentence, John leans in and breaks the distance between you with a tender kiss. "I missed you." He says softly. "Oh Johnny Marston, you ain't got the slightest idea of how bad I missed you." And you close the gap again initiating another kiss.
