Cal and Jesse walked over to their camps largest tent, where inside Chris and Julia sat on stools. In front of them was a small coffee table with loads of maps and sketches on it. "How long was I out for?" Cal asked rubbing his head as he entered the tent before his eyes went wide to see both of them leaning on each other. "and why are you two like that?" He added.
"About three days" Chris answered as he stopped resting on Julia, "And while you were passed out and Jesse was looking after you me and Julia became best of friends". Julia added on, "Right......" they could hear the suspicion in Cal's voice.
"Anyway" Chris continued focusing on the papers on the table.
"Here's the plan. In about four days the trains gonna pass through valentine, we will be waiting just a bit further down the tracks for it, I will be on standby nearby with my rifle and the get-away carriage. Cal will attack the back of the train and deal with the guard carts, Julia will deal with the drivers while Jesse will try and locate the money. Once the job is done we will head through the Great Plains to the Thieves Landing where we will buy a boat and get the fuck away from this area, until then we can restock in valentine as it is only a bit to our west."
Everyone was in agreement with the plan and they began to file out. Jesse and Cal mounted their horses and went out into the woods while Chris and Julia headed into town. At first the pair road in silence before Julia lifted the tension "so what do you want to do?" She asked.
"Well I'm gonna get my rifle cleaned and have more components added" Chris replied. "Well afterwards do you wanna hit the bar?" Julia asked hopefully, "oh sorry I don't drink" he responded hearing Julia mutter 'sissy' under her breath. "*sigh* fine just one drink ok?" He said giving in to guilt, Julia gave a weird little happy squeal which Chris thought was cute.
He gave a small smile which Julia blushed at and sped ahead clearly embarrassed. Chris followed in pursuit.
Meanwhile Cal and Jesse made their way to the edge of a fast flowing river where they hitched up their horses and went off to do separate things, Cal grabbed a bow and went off to hunt while Jesse tended to their horses. However while looking at Cal's animal she noticed something sticking out of the pouch on the side, curious she took it out to investigate.
It was a notebook, inside it was full of drawings and notes on many breeds of animals, it seemed pretty normal until she reached the second half. In it was photos of posh men each with a detailed description of their deaths. Most of them had been crossed off apart from the last 4.
Charles Croft, hunter, gambler and crook. Luke Montgomery, theif and murderer. Kyle Robert, murderer and cannibal. And Dr Von Carl, Psycho and surgeon. Suddenly a small photo fell out of the back of the book, Jesse picked it up to see a large group of African people all wearing tribal clothes. In th centre was a tall white male and his two year old child, however she couldn't see their faces as they had been burned off.
Suddenly she heard rustling coming from the bushes causing her to panically put the book away just before Cal came into view two deer carcasses slung over his shoulder dripping blood. "You alright?" He asked as he tied up the carcasses and hoisted them onto the horses. "Yeah everything's fine." Jesse lied. "Ok then, come on let's get back to town." Cal told Jesse as he mounted his horse. The two began to make their way towards valentine, unaware of two sets of eyes watching them.
