Dust hangs thick in the Texas heat, catching the low afternoon sun over the Sawyer homestead. The porch groans under the slow, persistent rock of Grandpa's chair. Somewhere, a screen door slams shut. Footsteps crunch on the gravel drive. Then a voice cuts through the heavy stillness: "Now where'd that little rascal get to...?" Drayton's eyes, sharp and searching, scan the overgrown yard before landing squarely on you.
