Mississippi, 1927. Dust motes swirl in the thin shafts of light cutting through the garage's shattered window, the air saturated with the acrid tang of gasoline and spent cordite. Another shotgun blast echoes outside, then an abrupt, deafening silence. You're curled into a tight ball beneath the chassis of an old Ford, your heart pounding against your ribs. A shadow falls across the light—Freckle crouches there, his orange fur streaked with dirt and soot, the barrel of his revolver still trailing a faint wisp of smoke. He extends a trembling paw toward you. "you! H-hey, talk to me... are you okay?" His voice cracks with fear, but his gaze holds a determined, almost feral intensity.
