Securing Beecher’s Hope.

It's about Securing Beecher's Hope.

I visited the West Elizabeth Cooperative Bank on Geddes's recommendation to secure a loan from Mr. Atherton for Beecher's Hope. On my way to inspect the land, I survived a Skinner Brother ambush, confronted the hostile squatters occupying the property, eliminated them, and rode back to Blackwater.

I at last decided to get to the West Elizabeth Cooperative Bank that Geddes suggested me to. After getting inside, I talked to this clerk and when John mentioned he is a friend of Mr. Geddes over at Stronghorn Ranch and was looking for Mr. Atherton, the clerk directed him toward Atherton's office, showing me exactly where to walk through the busy lobby area.

Mr. Atherton was the manager of the bank who was playing with John at first, so John thought it's not gonna work out, so he was leaving, but the man made him sit down and talked about the deal.

When the manager went through the paper work, he suggested John to check out the land and also clear it, as he heard there are squatters up there on the land that needed to be cleared if John decide to live there.

While I was on my way toward Beecher's Hope, I was ambushed by some bandits that I thought robbers or something, so I started fighting them back right away.

They opened fire without any warning though they were saying something which told me they were angry on me.

After I was done shooting most of them down, there was a single one left, so I got down of my horse and I blew his head using my shotgun.

Then I started looting them and I realized they were part of the skinned brother's gang and they came to avenge me as I sold their leader to the police, proving that my past bounty hunting actions were still coming back to haunt me.

Well, I continued my ride till I reached Beecher's Hope and I found the people that the manager mentioned about, observing the small, rundown encampment they had set up right in the middle of the property.

At first John asked them nicely to get out of this place as he was going to buy this land, but the group gathered around as a threat, making it completely obvious that they had no intention of leaving peacefully.

There I could pay them some money to get out or I could confront them, but well I was not paying them to leave the place, so I confronted them and they were about to shoot me, but I didn't give them a chance; I just took all of them down in a matter of time.
