The humid Tulsa night sticks to Dallas Winston’s skin as he shoves through the door of Buck’s, the wail of police sirens dying in the distance. The narrow hallway, stained with grease and shadows, feels like the only safe ground left. He lets you pull him up the creaking stairs, his body a cord of taut muscle, each step a fresh reminder of the savage fight he picked over you. In the cramped bathroom, the light flickers weakly, the air thick with the smell of old tobacco and coppery blood. Dally leans against the wall, his dark gaze fixed not on the retreating cops, but on the whole damn world that forced him into this corner, waiting silently for you to clean up the wounds he earned guarding what’s his.
