Chapter 7 - The Devil Child

Liam was working in the barn the next day when Robert stopped by.

"Hey, Liam," said Robert.

"Sheriff, What brings you to the ranch," said Liam.

"Just came to check on you. I heard a detective came to town to see you," said Robert.

"Yeah, Bat Morrison was his name I recall, he just questioned me on the murder," said Liam.

"According to Abby, He even questioned you on your past," said Robert.

"True, he said some pretty heavy stuff but I try to keep it out of mind," said Liam.

"Good, He doesn't know what man you are now," said Robert. "Listen, Liam. No one is perfect. We all have things we done and not like. But it when we move forward to make sure it does not happened again."

"Thanks, I guess you are right on that," said Liam. "I have killed a lot of people back then, but I have not killed anymore. I promised my family hat I would never kill again."

"Your family? Oh, you mean your sister and brothers," said Robert.

"Yeah, but the one I promised it to the most was my Big Bro," said Liam.

Meanwhile at a camp made nearby the town of Darkwater which was home to the Outlaws. The Man who talked to Liam at the bar was reading a book when he flips to a page where an old wanted poster was being used as a book mark.

"What's this?" questioned The Outlaw. He opens it up and looks shocked when he see it Liam's old wanted poster. He see Liam when he was younger and see his old alias as an Outlaw which he was called The Devil Child. "I knew I seen him before. Maybe I should tell the boss." He gets up and heads to the biggest tent at the camp.

The Outlaw enters the Big tent where he sees a man who was the boss of the gang of the outlaws. He had long black hair in a pony tail tied with a red string. He had light-colored skin with dark brown eyes. He wore a dark red leather trench coat with a black dress shirt with blue pants and leather cowboy boots. This was the Leader of this Gang, Vincent.

"What wrong?" asked Vincent.

"Well, Boss I found this old wanted poster of a man who is currently living in Darkwater," said The Outlaw. He hands Vincent the poster of Liam when he was an outlaw.

"Liam The Devil Child Antrim. He was part of Wild Bill's Gang. I guess he just went and started a new life in Darkwater. Well, he should not be a problem then. I heard a big event is happening in a couple weeks called The Ball. I think it would a good way to get some money from the people of Darkwater," said Vincent.

Liam finished his work in the barn with the help with Robert's help.

"Thanks, Sheriff," said Liam.

"No problem, I may be old but I can help out sometimes," said Robert. "Also that reminds me that you know The Ball is in two weeks."

"Oh, that's right the big dance for the people of Darkwater," said Liam.

"Yeah, you should go," said Robert.

"I don't dance, Sheriff," said Liam.

"You do not need to dance go and meet some people," said Robert. "Most people your age."

"I see if you going to pull my arm about it I will go," said Liam.
