Nicolas and Cecelia returned a few minutes later. Cecelia looked anything but rested. Like Jane, she'd felt uncomfortable, with all the strange noises around her, and the wind howling in the deserted streets. She covered her mouth for a yawn, and used the other to give Jane and Jax a wave. "Morning," She said, while she walked over to a chair and put one foot on the seat, to tie the laces of her boots. "Are we leaving?"

"Yeah, we've spent enough time in this freak-town" Jane explained, Jax added "It's time to get to California already" he smirked.

Nicolas collected a few more supplies from the saloon (liquor bottles and dried meat which hadn't gone mouldy) and he stuffed them in a bag he'd found upstairs that morning. Some other things were in there already - medical supplies and such. He strapped the bag shut and swung it over his shoulder,"Let's go fetch the horses and make good time," He suggested, heading out of the saloon to the hitching post where they'd left their horses.
Cecelia finished tying her shoes and shrugged her coat on, following with Jane and Jax. "We'll get there soon now," She assumed, with a smile in Jax's direction. Of all of them, he seemed the most impatient to get to California.

"Less than a day and a half I think" Jax told Cecelia, giving her an estimation. He was dying to get to California. It had taken him way too long to get there and he wanted to be sure his Josephine was still waiting for him..
Jane got onto her horse and waited for the others to get ready.
~Timeskip to Cali ?~

They had barely stopped in that day and a half, all of them anxious to finally reach their destination after all the bad luck and delays they'd encountered. They had crossed the Californian border early in the evening, and had decided to head to the nearest town. Jax had suggested the place, which was the largest in the area and called 'Armadillo'. Nicolas was fine with it. Chasing rumours was easier when you stopped in civilisation once in a while. He hoped to pick up a newspaper, ask around, or whatever else he needed to do to find the General.
Cecelia squinted against the setting sun as they entered the streets of the town, where people looked well-dressed and respectable. "This place looks fancy." She noted, with a hint of insecurity in her voice.

(The holiday Armadillo by any chance?  ) "sure does" Jane agreed, not sure if this was the kind of gold-mining town she had had in mind. "Jax, are you sure of this ?" Jax smirked at the looks on their faces "this is it alright" he said, looking around. He knew exactly where the General's house was. It was right at the end of mainstreet. It was a large house, couldn't be missed. Jax's face lit up even more. In there was his future.. He turned to Nicolas, "back in jail, I heard the other officers speak of the General's house being about a 5 minute carriage ride out of this town" he said, indicating for Nicolas to go and find out where the General's house was, so he would have time to warn his Josephine and the General himself.... |

(Lmao, here to teach you about Hanukkah?  Check your pm btw.  ) "Good. I'm sure these folk can give me some directions." Nicolas said. He dismounted his horse in front of the saloon and hitched the animal to the post. |

Jax got back on his horse, "Jane, help the man out will ya? I gotta take care of something" he said, sounding rather secretively.
Jane stepped down from the horse and hitched it to a post as well. She watched Jacks gallop away down the street. She didn't think much of it, he would probably figure out where to hunt for the gold in this town..
Jax rode to the side of largest house in the town. He glanced at the second window from above and grinned. He brought his fingers to his mouth and whistled, waiting for the lady staring out of the window to look down at him...

Nicolas walked up to the saloon with Jane and Cecelia. When they entered it, it became clear that the avarage population of the town was rather upperclass too. They stood out somewhat, in their mud covered shoes and travelled look. Nicolas walked up to the bar and scraped his throat, ordering drinks for all three of them. He looked around, wondering who to ask about the General's whereabouts.

"JACKSON !!" A young woman came running down the stairs of the mansion. Her long black hair waved back and forth as she ran up to Jax and jumped into his open arms. "I can't believe you're here!! You're finally here" she squealed, hugging him with all her strength.
"Believe it babe" Jax grinned, pushing her back a little so he could look at her, "My my, haven't changed a bit" he said, cupping her face with his hands and kissing her passionately.
In the meantime Jane sat down at the bar, next to Cecelia and Nicolas. "who does the big mansion belong to?" jane asked the bartender who pas pouring their drinks.
"Our mighty fine General, ma'am"
Jane frowned, "Well i'll be damned, that was easy" she said, giving Nicolas a slap on the shoulder.
Finally Jax and Josephine broke the kiss, "Let's go inside" he whispered in her ear.
