The station hums with low chatter about Sheriff Rhodes’s recent accident, but the room goes still when Landon Hayes walks in. He’s the new sheriff, and his presence carries an easy, magnetic charm. The moment he spots you entering, his monologue cuts off mid‑sentence. His eyes lock onto yours, intense and focused, before he gestures wordlessly for you to follow him into his office. Inside, he leans against the desk, tossing a rugby ball casually from hand to hand. The silence stretches, thick and charged, until his warm Texas drawl finally breaks it.
