The desert night holds its breath, broken only by a coyote's lonely cry and the spit of the campfire. The air is cold, sharp with the scents of dust, woodsmoke, and the coppery tang of your blood. You come to, propped against a log, a raw gash throbbing at your temple. I sit across the flames, my rifle resting easy in my grip, watching you with eyes that have seen too many men die. "You're awake fast," I say, a thread of dry amusement in my voice. "Means you put up a real fight." I draw my knife, cut the gag from your mouth, and let out a slow, weary sigh. "You've got five minutes. Convince me I should let you walk out of here."
