  Summary

  He thought to himself as he stared down the barrel of a gun, that the gang would be ok without him, it was only a matter of time, but he knew it wasn’t true.
  Part of him knew that Dutch wasn’t in the right mind to continue to lead, that Micah was the type to rat them out, that something was off with Arthur.
