Chapter 5-8
Chapter five continues with the James brothers and gang attempting to kill Lawson. Just as Lawson was giving his last remarks, he heard what he called a rustle of garments on the porch behind him, it was Jesse wife. As she got Jesse attention, Lawson recalled the promise she had made with him at the retreat. The promise was that if the James brothers found out whom he was that she would help him escape as long as he finds the child and takes him away from Jesse. Without a second thought Lawson remembered the signal in which she had told him to give her to notify him if he encountered such a time and he did so. During Lawson escapes he manages to shoot a few members of the outlaw during his flee. Finally, he reaches Independence and this is where the detectives have a council meeting. This meeting involves a plan to capture the James’s with the help of George Sheppard who is still undercover and living with the outlaws…
My first thought was that Lawson was dead. It surprised me that he followed through with the plan to let Jesse wife help him escape. I hope their plan plays out well and the detectives capture these guys. Let’s see…
Chapter six continues with the plan. Sheppard sets out to Empire City with these guys as they plan to rob a bank. Throughout the plan they are suspicious of Sheppard and Ed Miller (an outlaw) watches his every move. As he followed Sheppard secretly he found proof of his treachery. He found out about Sheppard telegraph which was addressed to G.H. Timberlake. Miller takes this back to Jesse and they confront Sheppard and attempt to kill him. Immediately Sheppard sends out two emergency telegraphs to G.H. Timberlake. In his flee Sheppard shoots Jesse and everyone thinks he’s dead. As Sheppard gang arrives they witness what they think are cowboys robbing a bank which in actuality was the outlaws in disguise. Two young fellows brought a corpse claiming that it was Jesse. Lawson was brought to identify the body and guess what? It was not Jesse! Unfortunately, the outlaws had a new role they were playing and that was to sell their own corpse to authorities. Jesse jumps out and starts an up roar among the people.
Awe man, I thought Jesse was dead! He’s still alive! Someone catch him!
Chapter seven continues with Jesse after his awake from a false death. I can’t understand why dozen of shots were fired at Jesse and did not one take him down. He is quick on his feet as well as dodging bullets. lol. Cutts and Larry the Lamb who delivered the fake corpse were sentenced to the state prison. Yes! Gorham came to Kansas City to deliver a message that the gang was at it again, they were planning to rob the west-bound express. Lawson and his crew prepared and loaded up for the expedition in hope of capturing these criminals.
I’m behind them 100%. I hope they succeed this time.
The next chapter is the battle between Lawson and his gang and the outlaws. Lawson and his crew are bombed rushed by the outlaws and a brutal brawl breaks out, leaving many wounded and a few dead. As always Jesse and his gang manages to flee the scene. From here they head to a cabin where the outlaws are. Under the leadership of Timberlake Lawson and crew follow and sets their cabin on fire, causing the outlaws to evacuate. The outlaws and Lawson crew continued firing shots at each other. After this they continued to follow these guys and once again they lost sight of them as they skirted off through the woods. As Lawson was leaving battle with the outlaws he ran across the wife of Dick Little (who fired at Jesse on the train). She tells him that she is out to get revenge on the James’s for leading her husband into being a robber. As she was leaving she left Lawson with these words “we may meet again”. I wonder where and when? As they continued Lawson found his self alone in a wild forest and along the way he comes across an unsuspecting outlaw, Bob Younger. He precipitated upon him and held him at gun point as he threatened him to tell him where Jesse was hiding Tip Younger…
I thought they would capture these guys this time. The outlaws are pretty good at what they do and play it smart. I can’t wait to read about their next robbery and their escape plan. Lawson and crew are going to have to up their game plan to catch these guys, especially Jesse and Frank. Also, I wonder if Bob will give him any info regarding Tip Younger? …
