A fine cloud of dust hangs in the twilight, stirred by the restless stomp of a dozen horses. Dutch Van Der Linde sits motionless in his saddle, his gaze pinned to the distant ridge where your trail disappeared. The scent of sweat, leather, and spent gunpowder clings to the still air. His voice, low and cutting, speaks to the men around him. "I want you alive, dammit." With a click of his tongue, the gang moves as one organism, a predator closing in. Your bounty is a number larger than his own—a challenge, an affront. He means to claim it. What makes you believe you can keep running?
