barely holding on •ch 14•

"¡Mierda!" Yelped Javier as he frantically dropped down and tried to pull Grace's unconscious body towards him, carefully he made sure his jacket was wrapped tightly around her stomach

He peered around and spotted a nearby staircase and looked over to Dutch

"Dutch! ¡aqui! Grace got shot and I need to get her out of here before she loses too much blood! Can you shoot me some space?" He shouted desperately as he picked up grace bridal style

"Of course son! Be quick now!" Dutch replied as he pointed one of his two revolvers at a soldier and shot them

Without hesitation Javier bolted up the stairs, managing to let out a whistle, he raced over to Sean and peered over the edge, waiting for Boaz to appear

"Holy shite! Will she be ok?" Gasped Sean as he looked over to his fellow gang members

"She better be!" Javier muttered before his eyes landed on his trusty steed racing up to the side. He quickly stepped ontop of a crate and leapt down, landing ontop of Boaz's back while giving a small wince

He held Grace on his lap, one arm hugging her tightly while the other half the reins as he began to race back to camp, giving a whistle for Jenny to follow

"lo juro ... si te pierdo, los mataré a todos ... mataré a todas esas perras ..." he whispered under his breath as he raced through the terrain

...

The moon lit up the top of the trees as Javier raced through the small trail that lead to camp

He glanced up and spotted a familiar silloute and he lifted his chin and gave out a hollar

"Karen! Karen get Reverend and Ms Grimshaw quickly! It's Grace! She's been shot and she's lost alot of blood!"

Karen looked up and spotted Javier, her eyes widening as she lowered her repeater "again? That girl really has a thing for getting shot!"

She turned around and raced back into camp as Javier skidded to a hault by the hitching posts and slid off Boaz, not bothering to hitch either of the two horses as he lifted Grace back up and walked forwards

A group of the remaining gang members already were rushing forwards and Pearson quickly moved over to help Javier carry her, noticing how exhausted the Mexican was starting to look

Ms Grimshaw walked up to them and then sighed "Reverend is over by the medicine wagon, I'm having Tilly and Mary-Beth set up a cot for her until we can move her into John's tent, seeing that John would be willing to temporarily share with Abigail and Jack"

Javier only gave a small nod as they carried the injured cowgirl over to the wagon and lay her down on the newly placed cot, Reverend immidiantly getting started on stopping the bleeding with Pearson to help by his side

...

The gang arrived around an hour later and Sean slipped over to Ms Grimshaw "did Javier come back with ol' grace?"

Ms Grimshaw nodded and pointed over to John's tent "Javier is in there with her, she hasn't woken up yet but Reverend says by the end of this week she'll be awake, few more weeks and she'll be back on her feet as good as new"

Sean tipped his hat and began to walk over "tank ya miss!"

He walked up to the tent and peered in "how is she doin' ?"

Javier looked up from the bench he was sitting on beside her cot and lowered the newspaper in his hands "could be worse.." he glanced behind Sean and saw Bill and John walking over to the campfire

"We get the money?" Asked Javier as he set down his newspaper on the ground beside his bench

Sean smiled and nodded "got nearly two thousand! Not da full payroll but it surely helped bring us closer to dat Tahiti plan Dutch has"

Javier smiled to himself "at least something good came out of it then"

Sean stepped over and crouched down beside him "it gonna be alright bud, I can see it in ya eyes, you're sad, but whatcha gotta be sad for now, she'll be alright, she's been through worse! She's a pain in the arse to take down, It'll take more than a wee lil  bullet hole to put her outta comission"

Javier glanced over and closed his eyes "but this isn't a 'wee lil bullet hole'  this nearly killed her" he replied bitterly

Sean placed an arm on Javier's shoudler and chuckled "look on da bright side, she ain't dead, you dont need ta worry 'bout it, she'll be as fit as a fiddle before ya know it, she heals quickly!"

Javier cleared his throat "I guess you're right and all, but, it's just the thought that I could've lost her and all..."

Sean gave his shoulder a pat before standing up "yeah, I know what ya mean, just, try an' cheer up would ya?"

Javier watched the Irishman chuckle to himself and walk out, leaving himself alone with Grace yet again, listening to the sounds of the water hitting against the edge of camp, the distant chatter of the gang, and of course the faint yet raspy breathing of Grace

After nearly an hour Hosea stepped into the tent and placed a hand on Javier's head, ruffling his hair and messing up his ponytail "go rest, I can watch her for the night, you're probably nearly or more tired than all of us combined, it won't do you any good staying up all night anyways"

"But-" before Javier replied Hosea shook his head and smiled

"No buts, she'll be perfectly fine, you can come visit in the morning" he bent down grabbed the edge of the bench and tipped it over, causing Javier to flop out of it as he took his place "off ya go" he chuckled as he waved his hands

Javier brushed off his poncho and walked over to the tent exit, glancing back at Grace and giving a small sigh before heading off to his tent by the fire

Hosea sighed and looked at Grace "I know you cant hear this but you did a good job today kid, Dutch is very grateful for your contributions" he looked down and then tipped his head as he picked up the newspaper "what's this?"

He folded his legs as he spread out the newspaper and began to read quietly to himself "search for van der linde gang in Blackwater contines...  valentine shootout... trouble with o'driscoll gang... strawberry gets out of lockdown after weeks following the shootout..." he murmured to himself as he read the subtitles
