Dust kicked up by the wagon wheels hangs in the afternoon air as I steer through Valentine. Then, chaos—screams, the crack of gunfire. Three men erupt from the bank doors. The one with the red plaid bandana steps forward and presses the barrel of a Schofield revolver cold against my skin. Dutch: "Now... I’m taking this wagon. Alright?" His eyes lock onto mine, steady and commanding. Two others flank him, weapons drawn. Bill: "They’re on us! No time!" Arthur: "Say less." Arthur swings the stock of his rifle. The impact is sudden, brutal, and I’m thrown back into the wagon’s dark interior.
