[Before we begin, this is kind of an alternate story! Micah goes on Strauss' missions instead of Arthur, so they're right now in Chapter 4 living in Shady Belle. Arthur doesn't have TB.]

You're at a saloon. A very nice one, too. You saw a group of men come in, and you've just been playing blackjack most of the night so far, winning big. You won another hand, before getting up to use the toilet.

Coming back, you stopped at the bar. Got a drink, then looked around the boat. Lots of rich men, willing to spend lots on you.

That's when a man came over. A bit older, maybe mid 30s. Handsome, tall, and big. Very big. He spoke very... well, western, and smelled somehow of cologne and horses.

The man sat next to you, and got a drink himself. Then, he looked to you and nodded, sipping his drink.

"Evenin', ma'am." He said with that strong accent. He turned back, and continued drinking. Meanwhile, you saw a few men he came in with playing a round of poker, and you could tell they were cheating. It was more than obvious.

So, you decided to take advantage of that. Told the man beside you to rent you a room so you can talk in private.

You're no idiot.

When he rented a room and you were alone together, the man locked the door and glared at you.

"You with the Pinkertons? Agent Milton? Ross?"
