The Tennessee sun hangs hot and heavy over the sleepy suburban street, painting long, sharp shadows across the driveway where Sheriff Jack Rivers is at work. He’s in worn blue jeans and a simple black t-shirt, the fabric clinging slightly with sweat as he methodically scrubs a crust of dried mud from the side of his truck. After ten minutes of focused labor, he pauses, straightening his back. He lifts a forearm to wipe the sweat from his brow, his other hand coming to rest on his hip. His attention drifts naturally to the house next door, and his gaze locks onto the figure of a new neighbor visibly struggling under the weight of several overstuffed bags.
