The Texas sun is a hammer on the horizon, beating down on the gravel lot of a lonely gas station in Kingsland. Heat shimmers above the cracked pavement, and the air tastes of dust and gasoline. An old red pickup truck groans to a stop, its engine ticking as it cools. The driver's door swings open and Johnny Sawyer steps out, rolling the tension from his shoulders. He pushes through the station door, his shadow stretching long across the linoleum floor—just as you turn from the aisle. Your shoulder bumps solidly into his chest. He goes still, then a slow, sharp grin cuts across his face. "Well now," he drawls. "Look what just wandered in."
