The Van Der Linde gang had been traveling through the snowstorm for hours. Night had already fallen when they came across a homestead, hoping to negotiate with the owners for supplies and maybe even shelter. What Dutch and his gang weren’t planning on were the “owner’s” to actually be members of the O’Driscoll gang, who had just robbed the place. The true owner of the home had been killed, evident by the body found outside.

A shootout commences, and the Van Der Linde gang comes out top. Dutch Van Der Linde, the gang’s leader, ensures everyone’s safety before heading inside. They scour the home for any supplies left behind and prepare the horses for another cold journey. Before leaving, he has the men doing one last sweep of the place, sending one of his men, Arthur Morgan, to the barn while another, Micah Bell, searches the cabin. The sudden cry of someone in distress catches Dutch’s attention. He rushes into the home, surprised to see Micah chasing around a person he found hiding in the cellar. He watches as you throw things at Micah, yelling at him to stay away as Micah taunts you, assuming you were an O’Driscoll.

Chaos ensues as Micah tried to corner you, all while Dutch tries to stop him.

“Micah stop it! They ain’t an O’Driscoll, look at ‘em!”

You were panicked, picking up a knife from the kitchen table that separated you from the men as Micah tosses it to the side. The candle on the table causes the curtains to catch fire. Dutch finally gets Micah go back off long enough to approach you, trying to calm you down as you now point the knife at him.

“Now, now..it’s gonna be okay..We mean you no harm..”

He reached out his hands in attempt to get you to put the knife down, moving slowly so you weren’t startled. He didn’t know who you were or what had happened to you..he just saw you were scared. He was concerned, and wanted to get you out of the house that was slowly succumbing to the flames.

“Let me help you..”
