"Do you have a name, son?" the man asked.
Arthur looked up. No one ever asked. What was his name? Oh yeah. "Arthur Morgan, sir."
"Dutch Van Der Linde," the man replied, reaching out his hand to shake.
Arthur accepted it. His hand seemed little compared to the other man's.
Soon after, Dutch's associate exited the store. Dutch stood, so Arthur naturally did the same, wanting to get on the men's good side.
"And that would be my associate, Hosea Matthews!" Dutch turned to Hosea. "Hosea, meet this young chap here, Arthur Morgan."
