It was in front of us - Micah Bell

Prove yourself

A few days passed.

You'd gotten to know everyone's name in camp now, and you were pretty sure everyone knew yours but they mostly called you O'Driscoll woman. You hated it, but you thought best to let it slide. You spoke to Molly quite a lot. She seemed just as hated as you at the moment. But she was lovely so you weren't quite sure why everyone hated her. Arthur had taken you out on a fishing trip and shown you around town as well. Although your brother was still tied to a tree, life was okay.

One day, you were tending to January when you look over to see Arthur, Dutch and Bill surrounding Kieran who for some reason had his pants down. You were very confused at first. You also saw that Bill had some sort of pliers in his hands...oh shit!!!!
You immediately dashed towards them. Spooking January a little.

"No! Don't you dare!!" You yelled angrily. Arthur intercepted you and held you back from them.

"There only balls boy! Now...are you gunna tell us where Colm is or not?" Dutch asking menacingly. God this man was evil. Pure fucking evil.
"Arthur, Arthur please, stop them!" You pleaded as you struggled out of Arthur's firm grasp.

"Alright! Alright! He's at six point cabin...I know where it is...I-I-I'll take you there." Kieran offered desperately.
You sighed. Very relieved.

"Haha, alright then Partner." Arthur said as he let go of you and untied Kieran. Upon release, he quickly pulled his pants back up and went a little red as he looked back to you.

"I told you they'd do anything to get it outta ya."
"Shut up."

Kieran, Bill and John went to the horses ready to leave when, Lenny comes charging into the camp. Puffing Like he'd been riding for days. His horse looked tired too. As he dismounted and went towards Dutch you ran to his horse to tend to it.

"What's going on?" Dutch asked Lenny who approached in a panic.
"They got Micah! Dutch! Arthur!" Lenny shouted as he ran to them.

"He's been arrested for murder. He was in Strawberry and he-"
"It's okay son, breathe." Dutch attempted to calm the younger man in a panic.

Lenny took a few deep breaths before carrying on.

"They nearly linched me. They've got Micah in the sheriff's in Strawberry. And there's talking of hanging him." Lenny explained as Dutch nodded his head in understanding of the situation.

"Here's hoping." Arthur stated loud and clear.
"Arthur!" Dutch snapped at him.
"What? The fool brought this on himself. You know my feelings about him Dutch."

"You think I can't see past his bluster to the heart inside? He is a fine man." Dutch implored. He really seemed to have taken to Micah ever since he joined.

"No, I ain't saving that fool." Arthur continued to argue. This was gunna go downhill if the two didn't come to an agreement soon.

"I can't go, my face will be all over west Elizabeth. I am asking." Dutch was so close to loosing his temper. Arthur could hear his anger rising in his tone.

"I can't be in two places at once Dutch. You want me to find Colm with the O'Driscoll? Or get Micah?" Arthur asked.
Dutch thought for a moment. He wanted Arthur to go find Colm. But they needed Micah out of that jail. He looked over at Lenny sat at the table. He needed calming down as well.
Dutch's eyes glazed over to the you, tenderly caring for Lenny's horse. He pushed the idea away almost immediately.

"What about (Y/N)? She won't have been seen anywhere around Strawberry." Arthur suggested.

"I don't know..." Dutch hesitated with a grumble as he shook his head.
