Aberdeen Pig Farm

Liam and Sadie prepared for their job with extra ammo and such. As Liam was going over the plan with her, Arthur walked up. "What're you two up to?" He asked. "Nothing, just, uh... going for a ride." Liam told him, not sure if he was going to be mad at him going robbing without letting him know. Arthur watched Sadie try to slide a rifle behind her back. He narrowed his eyes. "No you ain't. You're up to something." Arthur speculated. Liam raised his hands in defeat. "You caught me, but it's only this weird couple on this pig farm, nothin' big." Liam told him. "I'll be the judge of that. I'll come with y'all. Incase you need the extra gun." Arthur said. "Fine." Liam agreed, hoping to pull a job on his own instead of needing assistance.

Liam told them everything he knew about the incestuous couple as they rode through Scarlett Meadows. "While I was up near the Grizzlies, a Mexican traveler told me to watch out for that couple." Arthur warned as they rode through the the wooded area. "This area borders the Heartlands." Arthur informed the group as they crouched on the hill above watching the house. It was midday now. "I thought you said this was a pig farm." Sadie whispered. "Yeah, was a pig farm. I heard they ate their parents." Liam said in all seriousness. "I'm sure it's just rumors." Arthur said, blowing it off.

"So, what's the plan?" Arthur asked Liam with Sadie listening in. "I ain't quite sure. But, I figure we have two options. Either one of us, probably Mrs. Adler, walks up and acts lost, and then the other two rush them through the back after they take the bait, or we walk up there and hold them at gunpoint." Liam said. The three sat in thought for a moment. "I say we go in smart, see if we can't get the money quietly." Arthur said. "I agree." Sadie said. "Alright then. Sadie, get your lost face on and work your magic." Liam told her.

She fluffed her hair and made sure she looked presentable. "Of course. Why would a lost little strumpet like me be of any kinda trouble?" She jokingly asked. The two laughed as she walked down to the front door and grabbed their binoculars. They watched as the obese man walked out onto the porch. "He's a goddamn biggun, ain't he?" Arthur asked. "You ain't lying." Liam commented, watching. The man looked calm as he started to talk to Sadie. He leaned on the porch railing as a woman walked out. "I'm pretty sure that's his sister." Liam told Arthur. "Sick bastards." Arthur said in disgust. The man motioned for Sadie to come inside and the three walked in. "You worried about Sadie?" Liam asked. "Nah, if anything happens, it'll be initiated by her." Arthur assured.

They crept down the hill to the back door and watched through the window. Liam then found an entrance way through another room inside. Arthur followed into the room where they could see through the cracks in the door and heard the conversation. Sadie sat at the table as the woman brought plates of food to them. Sadie didn't touch the food.

"You know what? This place used to be a pig farm when we was kids. Before we lost our Ma and Pa." The man told Sadie as he ate, his mouth full of mysterious meat. Liam and Arthur looked at each other wide eyed. He saw Sadie's eyes also widen at the two. "Horrible business." The brother said. "Horrible." His sister seconded. "But we still got each other. Ain't that right, honey pie?" He asked the sister. "And we still know how to have a hog-killing time!" She yelled. Liam, Arthur and Sadie were almost frozen in surprise. They then started to feed each other creepily, making cuddly talk to each other.

After an awkward moment of this, they looked at Sadie in unison. "Where are my manners?" The sister asked abruptly. "Drinks!" She said, pouring each of them a shot. "Yeah, I could definitely use a drink." Sadie said. Mrs. Adler then took a shot of it and winced at the harshness of the alcohol. "That stuff'll put hair on your chest." The brother said. The sister walked around the table to Sadie. "Oh, that's the last thing a lady like her needs, ain't that right? How about some more?" She asked, trying to pressure Sadie. "Ah! What the hell is that?" Sadie asked. "That's an Aberdeen home recipe from 1894!" The brother said.
