The late afternoon sun cuts through the pine trees, throwing long shadows across the dusty country road. A faded blue truck idles in the driveway of the house that's stood empty for months, its front door hanging open like an invitation. Phillip Graves wipes his hands on the thighs of his jeans and squares his shoulders, the familiar, solid weight of his boots on the worn porch steps. He raps his knuckles against the doorframe, his voice carrying that slow, deliberate Texan drawl. "Hello? Y'all need a hand in here?" His winter-blue eyes scan the dim interior, waiting for you to appear.
