Okay uhh I had to try and work around the fact that my dumbass made Elizabeth born too late to be able to like Jack Marston SO IM GONNA FUCKIN fuck it up cause I wanna ship these two. So... Eliza-fuckin-Beth is 15 and Jacky boy is 16. Good? Good.

"Darlin'?" I say, looking in the mirror.

"Yep?" Arthur groaned, still half asleep.

I was up early so I could go into town and then come back and watch Eliza while Arthur went to work.

"Do I look... not good?" I started braiding my long hair.

Arthur let out an annoyed sigh as he turns over to look at me.

"Why do ya ask me dumb questions?" He leans up and rubs his eyes.

I turn over to glare at him. Arthur gets up to find his shirt causing my eyes to give him a quick look up and down before focusing back on my hair.

"I'm tryin' to wear these dresses now and they're just ridiculous. I miss my pants." I pout.

Arthur walks over and hugs me around my waist. I lean my head back on his bare torso and look up at my husband. He leans down and kisses me for a few moments.

"You look gorgeous." He smiles and then walks away to change.

I smile and stand up then walk out of the bedroom. Elizabeth was still asleep peacefully in her homemade bed. Her dark dirty blond hair was in a braid to keep tangles out of her hair as she slept. I walked to the side of the room and picked up a smallish bag then crept around to the front door.

The house was still and pleasant. I'm supposed to be back in two hours at least... this job won't even take that long. Hopefully.

I walked out the door and decided to take Arthur's horse. Mine wasn't as fast as his was (Major that's what she said moment).

I ducked behind the shed to change my clothes. I threw the stupid dress off and put on my bounty huntin' clothes. We promised we'd stop doing crazy things as we get kids but... well I miss riding like crazy! I miss punching people, shootin' them, tying them up. I kinda sorta miss being an outlaw.

Hopping on my husband's horse, I rode away and made my way to Strawberry.

I needed to get this bounty that's been killing dogs. Good dogs are difficult to come by so hearing some weirdo is just killing every dog he sees is a big no-no.

Sadie was waiting for me as I arrived.

"Looky there!" Sadie smiled as I got off the horse.

I smirked and fixed the pistols around my small waist.

"How do I look?" I ask.

"Like Robin Morgan." Sadie handed me a some paper which I took and studied.

The guy was old, maybe in his sixties, and had a beard and was balding. I noticed there was a small scar on the bridge of his nose.

"So where's this guy?"

"Somewhere south of here. He supposedly has dog furs on his wagon so it'll be hard to miss." Sadie hopped on her mean lookin' horse and took off without a word.

I smiled and hopped on Arthur's horse before kicking the stirrup and taking off as well right behind her.

Feeling the wind in my hair and on my ugly ass face brought me back.

----

Sadie was right, this guy was definitely not hard to miss. He had all kinds of dog furs everywhere. Bluetick, golden retriever, beagle, and I'm pretty sure I saw one or two cat pelts.

The creep was in the middle of camp just cookin' breakfast and minding his business. Well not for long cause I'm about to skin his ass.

"I'll walk up and confront him. If he runs, tackle him." Sadie whispered.

I nodded.

She got off her horse and sneaked around the camp and came up behind him. I could hear very few words. I'm 99% sure I heard the word "I'll fuck'em..." from him but I'll pretend I never heard that cause that's weird and disturbing to even think about what he's saying.

In a flash he was off. Running like lightening. Like damn this guy was booking it! Luckily he was running in my direction so all I did was trip him. Uhhh...

In a flash he was up and turned on me! Like a rabid wolf, he jumped on me and was growling and screaming and trying to bite my neck.

"Jesus Christ!!!" I tried to keep him as far away as possible. He managed to grab something pointy and slice it across my shoulder, chest, and near my ear.

I tried to use my good leg to throw him off me but the way he was wiggling was too much. I heard Sadie run up and give him a swift kick in the ribs. In a flash, I was on top, and was beating the hell out of him.

Then I tied his hands and feet up and let Sadie carry him on her horse.

"Lemme go! I swears to ya! I swears! I'll skin yas if ya don't lemme go!" He  yelled his empty threats.

"Yeah okeyyy buddy." I scoffed.

"What'll Arthur think about this?" Sadie asked suddenly.

I thought about if I should tell her that he doesn't know.

"Yeah he doesn't know." I told.

Sadie gave me a confused look before chuckling.

"Missed the wild moments, huh?" She guessed.

"Yup." I smiled.

"Lemme gooooo, before I skins ya and yer family!" He struggled to get loose from the horse.

Sadie smacked him in the face.

"Shut up." She scoffed.

----

As we arrived to the jail cell, the sheriff thanked us for catching the creep and then handed us both $50.

"Tells me. Whatchu's name? You, the... the scarface one." He hissed.

I rolled my eyes as Sadie walked out the door and I put my face up to the cell.

"I'm Robin Morgan, bitch." I spat.

I shut the door as I walked outside.
