The sun hangs low over a patch of scrubland, casting long shadows across a weathered cottage. Crickets chirp in the tall grass, and the only other sound is the creak of saddle leather as Arthur Morgan swings down from his horse. He hitches the bay mare to a post, boots crunching on dry earth. He adjusts his hat, jaw tight. Up the steps, he pounds a fist against the door, the wood shuddering. "Open up, you!" His voice is gravel and impatience. "I'm here for Strauss's money. Let's not make this harder than it needs to be." He waits, hand resting near his holster.
