"Hello son" Dutch said loudly to John starting him awake "So Arthur showed you how to shoot yesterday didn't he?"
"Yeah" John replied.
"Well that's good then because today you might need to, you might not to depending on how the job goes and don't worry you're just gonna wait outside for us" Dutch continued as he walked to the horses and John followed. "So Dutch you ready?!" Arthur yelled to him while getting his own horse ready. Arthur was dressed different to his usual outfit instead of just a blue shirt and brown trousers hes wearing that plus a beat up long black coat and a bandana is hung around his neck. "oh I've been ready my whole life my dear boy, Hosea come on it's happening!" Dutch yelled to Hosea, who was still asleep "now?" Hosea replied. "No not at all we are just dressed and horse mounted for no reason at all, yes now let's go" Dutch replied sarcastically. Hosea and Dutch were dressed normally aside from the bandanas. Based on the general atmosphere and the nature of the three John guessed that they were robbing something. Right then John get on Arthur's horse you're gonna ride with him and you're gonna take point outside of the bank, do you have a bandana?" Dutch asked John "uh Yeah" "good boy now come on let's ride!" Dutch announced and the four rose off fast out of camp.
The gang arrived in town (only Dutch, Hosea, Arthur and John) just outside of the Tumbleweed Bank, John positioned himself outside of the bank doors and put on his bandana whil Hosea was waiting by the horses for a speedy get away and Arthur and Dutch prepared to enter the bank. Dutch kicked the doors in and begin his usual distracting talk "Ladies and Gentlemen this is a robbery behave as I tell you and you will not get hurt!" Meanwhile Arthur was "convincing" the clerk to open the behind the counter entrance and let him into the vault. "We don't want to kill any of you but trust me we will!"Dutch continued "you handle the vault Mr M and I'll control these five folks" "Right, let me into the vault now you son of a bitch!" Arthur yelled at the clerk as he threw him against the wall "I don't handle that, t t t t that's the managers job only he knows the combination" The clerk pleaded and squirmed. "Alright I'm gonna have to blow it!" Arthur yelled to Dutch "Alright but be quick I don't think we'll have lint before the law gets tired of Hoseas amusement!". Hosea had gone to the other side of Tumbleweed and let off a few dynamite crates to distract the law. Arthur prepared the dynamite stick and put it against the vault door, Arthur lit the fuse and got away to a safe distance. *bang* The vault door burst open and Arthur immediately got as much money and gold bars into his satchel and the saddle bag he had slung across his shoulder. Dutch and Arthur then made their goodbyes and left the bank quickly. "Gentlemen!" Hosea yelled to the three as he ran back "I think we should go now!" "I think so too" Dutch replied with a chuckle. The gang rode hard and managed to get the law off their tail. When they got back they divided the spoils, half to camp funds then the other half spilt between the crew. Hosea, Arthur, Dutch and John each got around 200 dollars spending money for themselves so John was more than happy regardless of the split, he had never seen so much money, certainly not that much money for him. The gang then spent the night around the campfire although John went to sleep early.
