"Boss is...I saw him get shot right in front of me. He's dead now, I guess." the bandit answered, the man grimacing as he said that. "There were three carriages all together, a-and nine men that came with 'em, counting the drivers. Three men drove the carriages, three man got into a carriage each, and the last three were all on horseback. They....went out east, I think. Azrael said they were going to Jefferson City."

Jefferson City....it was a fairly modest town, much bigger than Red Road of course, but not quite on the same level as New Life was. Indeed, it's only claim to fame was that the Transcontinental Railroad had a stop in the town. Which meant that the men and the children they took were likely long gone. Jefferson City was half a day's travel from Red Road, and once the men purchased tickets for the train....yes, they would be long gone by now. If they were indeed taking the children out East, they would no doubt be hundreds of miles away.

The Transcontinental Express, after all, could travel from New York City, all the way to San Francisco, in just 83 hours. There was no way Anna and Horatio could hope to catch up to the vile sinners that had taken away the other children on horseback. And even if they were to try and follow them on the railroad itself...even if they could find out what train they had taken, they could just as easily get off at a stopping point down the line, and use other means of transportation to get to their destination.

There was no escaping the fact, then...in lieu of a miracle, the other children taken from the fort would likely never be found. If just by Anna and Horatio themselves.
