Lamb To The Slaughter (Red Dead Redemption 2 Fanfic)

MacGuire

Fae woke with a jolt, to Pearson's announcement that supper was up. She must have fallen asleep while reading, Fae was quick to shake her asleep arm that she used as a pillow, and sit up with a big groan and stretch. A cup of steaming coffee sat on the pile of books next to the bed. The smell was making her salivate, she craved it so bad. Her hands were quick to grab it, and her lips even faster to attack it. Three sugars and cream, cream ? Where on earth did she get cream for her coffee? But she doesn't recall pouring a cup, and if she did it would be cold. The book she was reading was under the coffee. Then a smirk came to her lips, Javi. He must have brought her a cup she could imagine the satisfaction on his face, ready to bring her a coffee with cream. A rarity in her life. Only to close her book and tuck her in like a child, she could still feel his kiss on her temple.

Miss. Bennett picked back up her book, soaking in the wise words of Mr. Miller, when Sean's voice broke the reading.

"Ah I see your awake there lassie." he laughed his classic laugh," Enjoy your beauty sleep?"

She rolled her eyes and cocked a smile, not moving the book to look at him," Heavens knows you could use some, age hasn't done much for you, MacGuire."

" Glad to see you're still a real funny little shit Miss. Bennett. Real funny."

"I'm the court jester, Mr. MacGuire. Now what is it you need?"

"Nothtin at all my dear, nothtin at all. I saw you were awake and wanted to say hello. I've barely spoken to ya sense the party. Come on Miss. Bennett, there was a time when you and I were best buds."

" There was never a time when we were said buds, now shoo, I'm trying to read."

She heard his heavy footsteps grow closer to the tent," Can you still rob a house?"

"Can you still not shoot a gun?" She had to suppress her laughter

"Come on, don't be like that. I know some time in the mountains made you a little rusty. Maybe some time with your old pal Sean will get you back into robbin' shape, huh?" He laughs again

"Is there anything you haven't robbed, including Delilah's heart?", She lowered the book and rested it on her chest. Sean stood in the doorway, leaning on the support beam with a defeated look on his face," Someone out wit you Sean? Because from the looks of it, It happens often.."

"Would you like to rob this house with me or not?"

"Why so you can drink away all the findings?"

He growled," Fine I'll ask someone else."

"Now don't be like that." Fae sat up and shook her still asleep arm, then threw her legs over the side of the bed, standing," I'll do it with you. But I get some money too."

"You'll get a third."

"No a half, if I'm doing most of the shooting!"

"A quarter of it!"

"No a half, or I'm out and you'll have your fun dying at the hands of Bill!"

He chuckled," Your real funny, Fae. Fine, you can have half!"

"Like I said Court Jester, now are we going to go or are you gonna yap your trap some more?" She aimed her hand towards the horses

He shook his head, and began to walk for his steed. Fae strapped back on her gun belt, and took her bolt action from the corner. Throwing her jacket around her shoulders as she went for Tupelo she called to Charles," Hey, Charles? Have you seen Javi?"

"Not recently. Why? Everything okay?" He raised his head for a moment to address her

"Yeah everything's fine, if you see him can you tell him, I'm out and will be back later?"
