Red Dead Redemption Dawn - Chapter 495
A Red Dead Redemption: Dawn Chapter 495 “Calloway the Kid”
“Little Calloway, the first time I heard this name was in a tavern, a group of itinerant merchants.”
I was very young then, and it was 1869, and although the North and South had signed a peace treaty, the Civil War hadn’t fully ended, and many places were still fighting.
I was twenty-three years old, and I was a tavern table-cleaner, listening to the businessmen tell what happened in the next county.
Calloway the Kid was about my age, maybe a little younger. But at the age of sixteen, he had achieved very good results in his own school.
He was still a kid in his teens back then, so the title Calloway the Kid has always followed him.
He is a straightforward shooter, and he is also very clear about his goal, which is to become the number one in the Western Conference.
He started from his hometown, and challenged from south to north with endless enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
As he killed more and more gunmen in duels, his name gradually became more and more famous in that state, and even many followers appeared.
The later Black Widow is also one, but a more likely innocent partner.
They were drinking in the tavern that day, it was raining lightly outside, the sky was hazy, and the road on both sides of the main street was illuminated by dim lights.
Just as everyone was enjoying the cheerful atmosphere of the tavern, the door was kicked open.
In came a tall, lean cowboy in a waterproof overcoat, moccasin boots, and a western hat.

The rain on his body dripped onto the floor of the tavern as he walked.
He walked straight to the bar.
“A glass of whiskey.” He tossed a dime at the bartender.
The tavern was not surprised by this, he reached out to take it, and then took the cup under the table for the visitor.
“Do you want to stay? There is another room upstairs.” The bartender said to the visitor after pouring the wine.
“Your business is good.” He said after taking a look around.
“It’s okay, do you want to stay? There is one last room.” The bartender continued the question just now.
“Is your boss there?” He didn’t answer the bartender’s question, but asked where the tavern owner was.
“What do you want him for?” the bartender asked strangely.
“Just tell me.” He replied.
“What’s your name?” The bartender looked him up and down. This man was very young, about twenty years old, in tall and thin clothes.
“Jim Calloway.” Calloway reported his name.
“Jim Calloway?” The bartender was stunned for a moment, then looked at Calloway again, and several people around him who heard his name also started whispering discussions.
“You are the ‘Little Calloway’ who killed Quick Jack and Black James two months ago in Qatar Town?” the bartender said in surprise.
“You know me?” Calloway asked disapprovingly.
“Yes, I heard that there is a young cowboy who often fights duels and came to us all the way from the next state. Are you him?” the bartender became interested.
“If there is no second Calloway, I think he is me.” Calloway picked up the whiskey and took a sip.
“So can you tell me, where is your boss?” Calloway put down the empty glass and asked the question again.
“Well, did you see that person who is playing the piano? He is our boss.” The bartender pointed to the person who was playing the cheerful piano and said.
“Thank you for another drink.” Calloway tossed another ten cents to the bartender, and then walked towards the boss.
“You’re welcome.”
Calloway, who was holding a drink, came to the person who was still happily talking about the piano, and he leaned aside and lit a cigarette.
“You play well.” Calloway said, looking at the middle-aged man in his forties.
“Thank you, would you like to buy me a drink?” The middle-aged man responded kindly.
“Maybe, if you can answer a question for me.” Calloway looked at the man in front of him and said uncertainly.
“What?” The man looked sideways at Calloway but did not stop pressing the keys in his hand, they were still beating flexibly on the keyboard.
“Do you know Danny Leigh?” Calloway said a name.
The man recalled it after hearing it, then shook his head, “No, I don’t know, maybe you can ask other people.”
Calloway looked at the man’s fingers, but said nothing.
“Let me introduce myself, my name is ‘Jim Calloway’ from Baldimo. I am looking for the gunman who became famous in Kezira Town fifteen years ago, Danny Leigh.” Calloway said.
“You know him?” asked the tavernkeeper.
“I don’t know, but I’ve always heard that his gun is very fast, and sometimes the enemy can’t see the speed of his gun clearly.” Calloway looked at the man and said.
“Maybe it’s just rumors.” The boss responded casually.
“He is good at using two pistols. His right hand is faster than his left. When his brother Black James died, he told him that he could come here and find him.” Calloway threw away the cigarette **** and lit himself again.
“What did you find?” the boss asked strangely.
“As I said before, I heard his gun is very fast,” Calloway said.
“Then?”
“I want to know, he’s faster or I’m faster.” Calloway took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled it.
“Then you can go to the next town tomorrow and ask, maybe there can be clues about him.” The boss suggested sincerely.
“Really? That’s a good proposal. Then I’ll stay with you tonight. I’m tired after a day’s driving.” Calloway said with a smile.
Then he turned around and threw a dollar coin to the bartender, and then went up to the second floor.
“Mr. Calloway in room b2.” The bartender said loudly to Calloway who was going upstairs after taking the money.
After Calloway went to the room to rest, the people in the tavern began to whisper.
People have been discussing since he knew his identity, and when he disappeared, the discussion among the alcoholics in the tavern became more intense.
After all, this guy just killed some quick shooters in the next few towns.
“Welcome in.” The boss muttered to himself as he watched Calloway’s disappearing figure.
The next day, at eight o’clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the tavern was surrounded by three men on horseback with spears.
The leader yelled at the tavern, “Little Calloway! Come out! You killed seven people in Orlando State, and you want to come out and go back with us and accept your approval.”
In just one night, news of Calloway’s stay in the tavern reached the three bounty hunters.
“Calloway! Come out! Don’t act like a coward!” The leading bounty hunter still shouted.
And there are many melon-eating people in the town gathered around. This kind of scene happens every week, but most of them are criminals who were killed or captured alive by bounty hunters.
In the tavern, Calloway was eating porridge for breakfast. After eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper towel, then got up and walked towards the bounty hunter who was still shouting outside the door.
When the door of the tavern was pushed open, Calloway stood before the three bounty hunters.
“Little Calloway, you killed seven people in Orlando State. Did you follow us voluntarily or did we subdue you and take your body?” the bounty hunter said to the young killer.
Calloway looked around and said to the three bounty hunters, “Just you three? For the seven gunmen who died in the duel? How can you have the face to avenge them?”
“To deal with a brat like you, I alone will be enough.
“boom!”
The bounty hunter hadn’t finished speaking when the gunshots rang out instantly
Before everyone could react, the leading bounty hunter fell off his horse.
‘Oh’
Everyone around sighed, the speed was too fast.
“Oh Shet!” The remaining two cursed and raised their guns, but
‘boom! ‘
One man had just aimed his gun at Calloway before he was killed by his gun again.
Calloway then looked up at the last bounty hunter.
“Oh Maikar! Oh Maikar!” After the last person screamed twice, he quickly adjusted the position of the horse and galloped out of the town.
“Cut” Calloway taunted disdainfully, then turned and walked into the tavern.
The tavern was very deserted that day, because we knew that there was a fast gunner who liked duels in the tavern, so no one came here to drink, and everyone was waiting to watch the fun.
Not even the bartender at the tavern was on duty today.
It is the boss who wipes the glasses at the bar.
Calloway walked up to the bar and said, “Give me a whiskey.”
“I advise you to leave now, before he finds more people.” The tavern owner persuaded him while pouring him wine.
“Whatever, I don’t intend to leave until I find Danny Lee.” Calloway took the glass and drank it down.
“Maybe he left a long time ago, you should go to the next town and ask.” The boss said to him while cleaning the bar.
“I think he should be married. His family and children have restrained him and made him lose his ambition when he was young. He no longer has the ambition to conquer the West.” Calloway pushed the empty glass and signaled for another drink.
“Conquer the West? That’s a stupid idea, maybe it’s the idea of you gunmen.” The boss poured him a drink without haste.
“Really?” Calloway’s mood and tone were gradually not quite right, and he drank the wine in the glass again.
“How’s your relationship with the people around you?” Calloway said.
“good!”
“I went out and killed them all after drinking this glass.” Calloway’s words made the boss’s pouring hand stop.
“Why?” The boss looked at Calloway very strangely. He was fine one second, but he was going to kill everyone here in the next second.
“Because someone wants to be a hero, I’ll give him this chance!” Calloway put his gun on the table with a ‘snap’.
The boss looked at the angry Calloway and said puzzledly, “I’m not Danny Leigh.”
“You used to be” Calloway responded indifferently.
“I won’t play this stupid duel game again, leave here, you are not welcome in this town!” The boss ordered him to evict.
“Really, how long do you think it will take me to find your wife and children? Take your gun and compare it with me, or I will tie your wife and children here and let you pick it up!” Calloway’s face was full of anger. flash.
“Who do you think you are talking to?” When the boss heard Calloway, he was about to threaten himself with his wife and daughter, and his face showed a fierce look.
“Do you think you can tell me what to do if you kill a few quick shooters? Do you think you have a few lives? Do you want to go to hell? Well, I will help you! You ignorant brat!”
Danny Leigh tore off Mr. Good Man’s mask, turned around and pulled out the gun belt under the bar.
“Hehehe, clean your gun and keep it at its best level. I’ll wait for you outside.” Calloway said happily looking at him.
Then he walked out of the tavern alone.
The crowd outside the door, who had been listening to the two quarreling, immediately dispersed to make way for Calloway.
“Hehe, ladies and gentlemen, the owner of this tavern was the most famous fast gunner in the area back then, Danny Leigh. Today, under your witness, I will have a one-on-one holy duel with him. My name is Jim. Calloway, maybe you are more familiar with my title, that’s right! I’m the recently reposted ‘Little Calloway’ haha”
Calloway looked at a group of spectators watching the excitement and said.
After speaking, Calloway walked to the middle of the street and walked a certain distance.
Danny Leigh, who was threatened because of his wife and children, also changed into his denim clothes and walked out with his own gun.
“Oh old Danny is that really him?”
“After living for almost ten years, I didn’t even know he was that guy.”
The neighbors looked at Danielle in a cowboy outfit in surprise.
“My child, I’ll give you one more chance to leave the town, otherwise you will be frozen at this age.” After Danieli changed his clothes, his tone of speech changed.
“Old man, you are no longer at the peak, but I have just reached the peak!” Calloway responded loudly and confidently, looking at Danilly who was 20 meters away.
“Are you ready?” In the crowd, the sheriff of the town began to ask the two people who had taken their positions.
Both began to hold their breath, and both began to stare at each other.
Calloway closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and stared at the opponent intently. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see the details of every movement and even the breathing rate of the opponent.
And Daniel’s breathing began to become a little short. He looked at Calloway, who was 20 meters away, and wondered if it was an illusion. It might be because the sun was on his side, causing his shadow to be magnified wirelessly by the sunlight. In Daniel’s eyes like a giant, or a grim reaper
He swallowed, then flicked his right hand. He may not have shot much in these years, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, but he basically plays the piano every night again, and he doesn’t feel that he has become weaker.
He will win, Calloway fell like those who fought him back then, and Daniel kept cheering himself up.
The sheriff took a look, then started counting down
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
“bang bang”
As soon as the sheriff finished speaking, two gunshots rang out indiscriminately, and then Daniel, to the end.
Calloway, on the other hand, looked at Danny on the ground with an extremely pale face, and whispered in disbelief, “He’s faster.”
Then he too fell to the ground.
“oh thanks”
“Oh”
Everyone sighed, the sheriff straightened his collar and then walked to Daniely’s side first, and he stepped forward to confirm.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the sheriff shook his head at everyone, and then walked towards Calloway.
He squatted down to check the location of the wound.
Then the sheriff got up and said, “He’s still alive, let’s go.”
Then everyone left the street with a sigh and returned to their daily life.
The sheriff then called in two men to dispose of Danielly’s body and took Calloway to a nearby clinic.
The next day, Calloway woke up from a coma. Calloway opened his eyes and saw the sheriff sitting in the distance reading a newspaper. Calloway said to him, “He is faster.”
“Maybe, but you are more accurate! Wonderful duel, you won. But you need to pay the medical expenses, fifty dollars! If there is no money, I have a task for you to do.” The sheriff took it for granted Said.
“Just tell me what the task is. You don’t need to collect money like robbery. I’m not a bank!” Calloway said weakly.
“Hehe, let’s talk about it after you recover from your injury. It will take a few days.” The sheriff responded with a smile.
