Martin used his semblance and looked over the land, with the help of his hawk he had seen a farm with one man and eight horses
"Only one old man and eight good horses," he told Mercury
Mercury looked at Jaune "What's one old man doing with eight horses?"
If I remember right, some of the rangers like to use horses and He breeds them for the Blue Fang" Jaune replied
"How's he keep folks from stealing them?" Martin asked
"The Blue Fang protects him"
"Not today they don't" Martin smiled and pulled out his ax "He's selling horses, he's got some lien in there"
"And maybe some bullets or some huge fucking guns" Mercury chuckled
"then let's carve him up" Martin smiled
Martain was about to rush in but Jaune stopped him
"We just take the horses and go," Jaune told him, he then looked at Mercury "The old man's no threat"
"I keep telling you! he's a Blue Back!" Martin yelled but Mercury stopped him
"He's an old man Jaune" Mercury told Jaune "A bullet through the heart's a better way to die than coughing up your last with no one but your horses to hear"
Jaune then turned to Mercury and Martin "The Fang might send a few men looking for a horse thief. They'll send a lot more to hunt down murderers" Jaune told the
"I hope so. Killing crows in their castle is tough. Killing them out here in the open, that's what we do" Martain said
Martain looked to Mercury and Mercury looked back at him but then to Jaune. Jaune did have a point, and they were already short-handed but if they had horses they could travel better.
"Spread out. Surround the hut and move in" Mercury said with a sigh
The White Fang ran towards the home and Jaune smacks his sword against a rock to alert the Old man and his horses. the Old man looked confused but then he heard his horses crying, the OLD MAN steps outside and sees all of the White Fang looting his barn, He grabs a horse and runs rides away, but Emerald took out her gun and shot the Old man in the shoulder. He fell and Jaune dragged him back while Emerald got the horse.
Mercury saw that they had gathered everything from the barn. he went back inside to the other members "Clear the barn!" he yelled
the Old man is sitting on the ground and Martin walks up to him and he pulls a knife out on Martin but Emerald cocks her gun and aims for the Old man
"That won't help you, grandpa" Martain said
Martin sticks his hand out, asking for the knife, The Old man was hesitant but he gives it to Martin and he tosses it aside
Mercury walked out of the barn and then walked to the old man, Mercury crouched down and faced the Old man
"Where are you riding to?" Mercury asked him
"Doesn't matter now..." the Old man said sadly "does it?" he asked
Mercury looked down with a bit of shame, but he tossed it aside and looked to the Old man "No, it doesn't matter now"
"Cut his throat or he'll tell the Blue Backs we're here!" Martin cried to Mercury
Mercury took out his sword, He still felt guilty about this. But this was his job. His duty.
"You understand" Mercury sighed
the Old man raised his hand to stop Mercury "Let me stand at least," the Old man asked
