Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West

Chapter 33 Micah's Happiness is Gone

She came to gather intelligence, but she didn't find out anything. Instead, Micah ended up in prison first.

Seeing Jenny's troubled expression, Henry couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You were eating so well just now, are you feeling unwell?"

He even patted the little girl's head as he spoke, only to have it ruthlessly slapped away by her. "No, it's just that the boss sent us here to gather intelligence, but before I could find out anything, that annoying guy ruined everything."

"Tell me, what information do you want? As your friend, I'll help you this time for free. Don't you know I also sell information? As long as it's information about the area around Blackwater, even the Pinkerton Detective Agency doesn't have as much detailed information as I do. Oh, maybe you don't know what Pinkerton is, but that's okay. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

“This…this…” Jenny hesitated, wondering whether to tell Henry that they were looking for a quick way to make money.

“Okay, we’re friends, you wouldn’t betray us, would you, Henry?” Jenny felt Henry was trustworthy and decided to be honest with him. After all, they weren’t wanted in West Elizabeth; they had only just arrived and hadn’t committed any crimes yet.

"Of course, as a friend, how could you not believe me, especially since I just treated you to a nice meal?" Henry feigned a hurt expression.

“We’re actually a gang, but we’re not ruthless bandits; we’re Robin Hoods. We’re here to see if there’s any quick way to make money. Do you… do you have any information on that?” Jenny asked hesitantly.

"Of course there are, quite a few. I'll give you one for free this time. In the North District, not far from the bank, there seems to be a group of people using real estate development as a pretext to commit fraud and raise funds. You might want to investigate further. Once they've amassed a large sum of money, you can rob them and double-cross them. There's another one about bank cash transport, but that information costs money, so I don't recommend you get involved. I won't tell you about it." Henry subtly planted a seed.

"By the way, do you need me to send someone to take you home? It's so late, are you safe?"

“No need, Henry. I have a partner nearby, I’ll go back with him. Besides, I’m pretty good too, see you tomorrow.” Jenny flashed the cowboy revolver at her waist and waved happily. She dared not let anyone know the location of their camp, otherwise Dutch wouldn’t let her off the hook.

"If you need any help, remember to come to me, Jenny. We're friends, aren't we?"

Jenny returned to the camp on the cliff edge at the mouth of the Upper Montana River and explained the day's events to Dutch. Seeing that Dutch was only concerned with the two money-making intelligence reports and Micah's situation, completely ignoring the fact that she had been sexually assaulted by Micah, a flicker of displeasure crossed her mind. She also clearly realized the status of women like them within the gang. A thought secretly began to take root in her mind: leaving the gang. She didn't want to end up like Abigail, sleeping with so many men.

......

Meanwhile, the East District Police Station of Heishui Town

In the cell, Micah was awakened by pain in his genitals. Looking at his surroundings, the haphazardly bandaged bandages around his genitals, and the intermittent, dull ache, he felt a jolt of pain.

He grabbed the railing, bewildered, and started shouting.

"What the fuck!"

He tried to recall what had happened. He only remembered that he was happily drinking in a bar, touching his leg, when suddenly someone lifted him up from behind and knocked him unconscious before he could even see who it was.

You can just knock me out, that's fine, at most you can throw me out the door, but what's wrong with my genitals? Are they still usable? And why am I in a cell?

"Fuck, is anyone there? Fuck, someone help!"

"Quiet down, what's all the noise about? If you keep making noise, I'll starve you for three days." Micah's shouts finally attracted the guards, but the guards knew that he had been brought here by Li Yi personally because of the trouble he caused at the Blackwater Bar, so they weren't going to give him a friendly look.

"Officer, officer, what's going on with me? I haven't broken the law, why are you locking me up?"

"You've been drinking and causing trouble, disturbing the peace. You're locked up for three days."

"Then what's wrong with my genitals? I was fine before I drank alcohol."

"You got drunk and lay down at the bar entrance and got kicked by a horse. Speaking of which, please pay $20 for medical expenses," the guard said sinisterly.

"What the fuck, you, you guys... Please find me a better doctor, I'll pay," he said, handing over $30, $20 of which was for previous medical expenses. Given Micah's madness, he should have continued his tirade, but for his younger brother's sake, he had to hold back for now. He'd get revenge on them after he got out of here.

The police officer happily accepted the money; he could get almost half a month's salary just by doing a quick bandage. He wished this could happen every day.

.......

At the Van Bang camp, Dutch, Hosea, and Arthur were gathered around a tent discussing intelligence and Micah's affairs.

Dutch: "Micah has been captured in Blackwater. Should we go and rescue him?"

Arthur: "Oh, Dutch, it's just a few days in jail, what's the big deal? Do you want to attack Blackwater Town just for a few days? Besides, he's so annoying, what's wrong with locking him up for a few days? He got what he deserved. I don't know why you care so much about this rat."

Hosea: "I don't agree either. It's unnecessary. Locking up for a few days won't hurt. You know, we're mainly here to make money. After we pull off this heist, we can go to California. Besides, Arthur and I already have a target. Based on the information Jenny got, if all goes well, we can get at least $3. At this point, we must keep a low profile and not cause any trouble."

When Dutch heard that the two of them disagreed, he had no choice but to give up. "OK, OK, you've convinced me. You go and deal with the real estate scam. Micah and I will go and find out about the bank's cash."
