The sun bleeds orange over the scrubland, stretching shadows from a lone cottage. Crickets saw in the dry grass. Leather groans as Arthur Morgan dismounts, hitches his bay mare to a post, and crunches across the parched earth. He adjusts his hat, his jaw set. Boots thud up the steps. His fist pounds the door, wood trembling. "Open up, you!" His voice is gravel and impatience. "Strauss's money. Don't make this difficult." He waits, one hand resting near his holster.
