Saving Arthur Morgan | rdr2

Chapter 32

"John's dead. They got him." Arthur choked out.

"Are you sure? Did you see it?" I ask, reaching for him but he pulled away.

"No, I didn't see it. Dutch did." Arthur straightens the sack on his shoulders agitatedly.

"He could still be alive." I say hopefully, he drops his head sadly. "Dutch isn't exactly honest, so tell me what happened." I add.

He shakes his head, clearing his throat. He doesn't say another word other than a shake of his head and continues towards camp. I watch him, knowing he needs to be alone. But shit has to be done.. people are missing and now John may be dead.

I watch the camp as they hurriedly carry the sacks of money towards the cave. The greed on Dutch's face as he watches them truly sickens me..

Something doesn't feel right.. yeah they have the money now but somethings off.. then I see him. Micah pulls Dutch urgently towards the tree line, whispering. Dutch narrows his eyes at whatever Micah says then nods slowly.. they're up to something.

As Micah walks away with a slow smile, Dutch's eyes meet my gaze. A sadistic smile spreads across his sick face. He starts towards me, my heart begins to race now. The voice inside my head screams to run now.
I rush to Persephone, looking back as I mount to see him running towards me now. I spur the mare to go, kicking up dirt in his face..

"Hey!" He hollers but I don't bother to stop, I saw something he didn't like. And it's scary to think about what he would do to me in his state of mind..

I the mare harder, looking ahead when a shot rings out, causing Persephone to jolt. The bullet whizzes past my head, barely missing my ear.

Now I know what he was gonna do.. he's truly lost his damn mind..

Greed will do that to you.
I just pray Arthur gets out of there alive..

Short but I'm almost done! I hope y'all enjoy! 😊😊
