Another couple weeks seem to drag by, we're finally going to meet with John regarding finding Javier and hopefully Bill. It was rumored that John had just taken out Vincente de Santa, the captain of the Mexican Army and he even rescued Abraham Reyes, the leader of Reyes' Rebels and assumably the man that Selina's brother was following and was willing to depart, assuming we could overthrow Agustin Allende, the Colonel. Reyes was going to be our best shot at both Javier and Bill from what John had told us earlier in the week. We choose to meet in the bar of Chuparosa, the usual meeting place for all the things we did nowadays.

"John." I muttered as I patted his shoulder, taking a seat beside him as he looks over at me. "Asher, Selina. Nice to see you two again. How's the baby?" John questions as he points to Selina's little more clearly protruding abdomen since we started this entire thing. "Most definitely can see 'em now. Know this is rough, been a couple months and such." Selina gives a slight shrug as she looks down at herself for the moment. "It is rough, but things seem alright as they should be." I nodded my head to my wife before directing my eyes to John.
"So, Marston, you said that Abraham Reyes might have a clue where Javier is huh?"
"He does, told me that he's hiding with the Mexican Army at El Presidio. Some army fort or somethin', guess Javier ain't changed much. But, Reyes wants to take over the place and they're gonna attack tonight. Was hopin' you two were gonna be joinin' us."
John mentioning the baby and all put a real bad taste in my mouth regarding Selina still joining us on all this. The thought of her getting injured was making me feel sick if I was honest. I'd goddamn murder anyone who dared to harm this woman. Even if it was John, I wouldn't hesitate at all. I swallow harshly at the idea but I know this what we were made to do, what we were meant to do that is. "Yeah, John. We will, we'll accompany you with this."
"Know it's probably scary for you both. But, this is what they want from us. I wanna be one step closer to seeing Abigail and Jack again, just as I'm sure you both wanna see your children."
I nod my head as well as Selina does. We understand this situation isn't an ideal one, but we're doing what we can do to make sure we get out of here alive and our children can resume there somewhat normal life. Though, there was no telling what they put them through in that detention center. Made my blood boil at the thought. John soon stands from his spot, putting out his hand so I can shake it. "Meet me up near the fort as the sunsets. Should be up there with Reyes and a cart of dynamite." I give him a nod and the hand shake and he gives Selina one as well. "If anything happens to you tonight, I swear to the lord above--" Selina rolls her eyes before she gives me a peck upon my cheek. "I ain't weak and neither are you. We can fight this, long as Javier is at the end of this all. Bill as well, see where this all leads."
I give her a smile before I lean in and kiss her on the lips before we depart from Chuparosa to set a camp before heading to see John and Reyes.

       The evening falls upon us as we're heading up to meet the two men, just as John had said, they have a wagon stocked with dynamite. Reyes lights it up and John is quick to get it going before jumping off at the last moment, the entire wagon exploding upon impact with the door to the fort. It's a bloody fight. Selina and I using the training Landon Ricketts had given us. There was absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. God, it was always crazy seeing my wife go at it like she did. Still as attractive as she once was back in the day when we ran with the gang. As the soldiers are being taken down, John is quick to motion to us. "I'm gonna go try to find Javier!" He shouts as he's racing up the nearby stairs and into some of the buildings. He ends up stuck in one before we see Javier jumping out of a window and running right past us. "Son of a bitch!" I end up shouting before I'm off after him. "Asher?! They got you out here too! Puto! You even got your puta with you too! Ain't that something?!" The male jumps upon a horse before I whip out my pistol and as much as I hated doing such a thing, I shot that horse right in the behind and it was quick to buck Javier off. "¡Maldito seas, maldito!" (Damn you! Damn you!) He shouts which I had no way of understanding, he tries to get up but John comes running right up to lasso him. "We were brothers... Brothers and sisters... How could you three do this to me?" He questions as John is carrying him to a jail cell. "Ah, you pieces of shit." He mumbled as he's laid out upon his side. "One day, you all are gonna regret this."
"One day is about all you got left." John replies as he's closing the door to the cell. "Hola, Selina... Still lookin' like a piece of work."
"Hola Javier, No me halagues. No te voy a sacar de la celda." (Don't flatter me. Not gonna get you out of that jail cell.) Javier sighs deeply, though he also seemed impressed by the fact that Selina could understand exactly what he was saying and all and her replying right back to him in his native language. "I hope all of you, and your children, rot in hell!" John shakes his head before he leans in. "You know that life we lived is over and when we was livin' it, it didn't mean nothin' anyway. It was all just an excuse and we all knew."
"What I knew was you all were always putos and a goddamn puta! I knew that! Still are!"
"Marston, Sanders, Hinton! The Army's sent reinforcements. Come!" Reyes commands of us before Javier starts laughing. "Yeah! Go with your puto!" I hear him state before I shake my head and follow after the other two men. John mans the cannon while Selina and I shoot alongside him. We defeat the army alongside everyone else before John goes to collect Javier. "Ya know John, Selina, Asher, you all are making a big mistake. Four kids Selina. I can see it. I don't get you all—-" John hits the other male before picking him up and placing him on the back of his horse, heading to the nearby bridge by the border to deliver him to Ross and Fordham..

"Mr. Marston! Mr. Sanders and Ms. Hinton. Fancy seeing you three down here."
"Nice work you three, now Javier here will see just how far the hand of justice can go."
John pushes the other over before he turns around and spits at the three of us. One of which lands on Selina in which the female is nearly about to punch the male in the face. "Eres un hijo de puto! Espero que te pudras en el infierno, bastardo." (You son of a bitch! I hope you rot in hell, bastard.) Javier laughs before winking at my wife. "Cuida a ese bebé, Selina. Puta de una maldita mujer." (Take care of that baby, Selina. You whore of a goddamn woman.) I watch as Selina takes a couple steps before Archer stands in front of her. "Easy now, Ms. Hinton. You will hurt the baby... Know you wouldn't want that." He chuckles before she rolls her eyes.
"So is one of our circumstances fulfilled?" John questions before Archer shakes his head. "Nothing is fulfilled, Mr. Marston. Get us Williamson, and then you three make your way back to Blackwater as quick as you can. We have reason to believe Dutch van der Linde is in the area." They both enter the motor vehicle they arrived in before Ross looks over at us. "John, your wife sends her regards. Asher, Selina, your children send the highest amount of love." He then laughs as they're driving away. I watch as Selina's hands fall upon her lower abdomen before I come up and wrap my arms around her, my hands upon hers. "We'll get 'em back, my love. I swear my life on it." She gives me a small nod before turning away and getting back upon her horse, John and I following along with her. She was in pain when it came to talking about our children and we knew it. She wanted this all to be over with and it just couldn't come soon enough.

"So what now, John? We gonna go after Bill now." I question the older male before he gives me a nod of his own. "Yeah, it's not right that we still are gonna have to work for them. All of this--- For Dutch."
"We're close I suppose... Close enough that is. Well, let's get fuckin' Bill. Have our adventure down here over with."
With that, we all nod in agreement, headed to Escalera to hopefully finish this all off. For we knew the Mexican army was still on the rage here.
