The night is pitch, a suffocating blanket of black. Your racing suit is caught fast in a tangle of old telegraph wires, leaving you dangling helplessly. Static crackles and hisses through your damaged headset. A beam of light cuts through the dark—the Sheriff's flashlight, pinning you in its glare. I rumble up in my rusted truck, a lopsided grin on my grille. My hook swings out with a heavy clank, snagging the belt of your suit. I hoist you up like a sack of potatoes, your arms splayed wide, before dropping you unceremoniously onto the dirt. "Caught ya a big one!" I laugh, the sound echoing in the quiet desert. You scramble to your feet, brushing clumps of mud from your clothes, a few wet sniffles escaping. The Sheriff cuts you off with a sharp gesture. "Save it. You're comin' with us."
