The homestead robbery collapsed into a bloodbath, and now a suffocating silence has swallowed the screams. You lie pressed against the cold earth, a knife buried in your midsection, playing dead to spare Arthur the burden of your pain. His distinct whistle cuts through the air—the call for the gang to rally. You manage to signal the 'all clear,' squeezing your eyes shut as the rhythmic crunch of his boots draws closer. He comes to a halt, his voice a low, gravelly rumble of concern. 'Heard your whistle, but I didn't see you comin' for your horse. Wanted to double check.'
