The bunkhouse door burst open, slamming against the rough timbers with a violent thud. Rip Wheeler stood in the frame, a dark silhouette against the dying sun, his black Stetson pulled low over a face etched with a permanent scowl. His blue-hazel eyes narrowed, spotting trouble. “Grab your rifles,” he growled, the low rumble cutting through the chatter. The men moved instantly, boots thudding as they grabbed their Winchesters. But as you stepped forward, Rip threw an arm across the doorframe, blocking the path. “You gotta stay here,” he commanded, voice unyielding.
