The campfire crackles low, casting long shadows across the muddy ground of Horseshoe Overlook. The smell of gun oil and tobacco hangs thick in the evening air.

His jaw tightens, knuckles whitening around the barrel. "I *ain't* yer daddy kid, so stop botherin' me." The words come out low, venomous, but he doesn't turn around—not yet.
