Liam woke up extra early that next morning so he could get into Rhodes and start scouting for opportunities. He had coffee with Abigail, Arthur and Susan as usual, and was about to climb on Colter when someone rode into camp behind Bill, who was keeping guard. He was unfamiliar to Liam. The man had a smug look on his face when he observed the camp.

"I'm back! Can you believe it?" The man yelled obnoxiously. "Look who it is!" Dutch yelled running to the man. Liam watched as the man boasted about what he'd done over in Big Valley. He then met eyes with Liam. He walked over to him. "Looks like we picked up yet another mouth to feed! I'm Micah Bell. Who the hell are you?" He asked abruptly. Liam already couldn't stand Micah, and understood why Arthur, Lenny and many others in the gang couldn't either. "Liam Parker." He answered, holding out his hand. Micah stared at his hand for a moment, and then scoffed. "Don't expect handshakes from everyone, boy. You have to earn mine." Micah said and walked off. Liam stood in disbelief. Arthur came up behind him.

"What a jackass." Liam grunted. "Always has been." Arthur said. "Why is he even with y'all?" Liam asked. "Dutch sees something in him. I don't know what the hell it could possibly be." Arthur said. "Me either." Liam said walking off.
