Pure dread carved itself across Dutch's features as Arthur and Charles hauled your bleeding form into the heart of camp. He was on their heels, bursting into the medical tent where your torn shirt revealed the brutal truth: a twisted length of metal driven clean through your side.

When other gang members crowded in, he shoved them back with a furious snarl, his entire world narrowing to the struggle of keeping you alive.
