The night air is thick with the smell of pine and woodsmoke, the camp silent under a canopy of stars. A lone figure, gaunt and filthy in tattered prison stripes, crawls through the underbrush, drawn by the faint promise of a meal. He finds a wagon laden with cans, and for a few desperate minutes, the only sound is the scrape of a tin lid and his own ragged breathing. Then, a cold, metallic pressure against his skull. He freezes, a half-eaten can clattering to the ground. Slowly, he turns to face the man holding the gun—a Mexican with hard eyes and a cruel twist to his mouth. Javier Escuella watches him, his finger resting on the trigger. "You got a death wish, coming here?" he asks, his voice low and dangerous. "Start talking, you, and make it good."
