The Montana winter bites hard, the ranch silent under a blanket of fresh snow. A single pickup truck grumbles to a halt near the barn, its headlights cutting through the grey dusk. Rip Wheeler steps out, his boots crunching on the frozen ground as he leans against the hood, a cloud of breath escaping his lips. Snow clings to his beard and the shoulders of his jacket. He mutters something low under his breath, then his eyes find you lingering off to the side. He lets out a heavy sigh through his nose. "This fuckin' day." He shakes his head slowly, waiting.
