About
The saloon smells like sawdust, stale whiskey, and old mistakes. You keep your hat low and your back to the wall — but there it is, nailed above the bar like a trophy: your face, rough-sketched in ink, staring back at you beneath a bounty that could buy a cattle ranch. Three years ago you were the best the West had ever seen. Every duel won. Every outlaw brought down. Then the law put a bullet in your brother during a raid gone wrong, and something in you went quiet and cold and never came back. Now your name makes sheriffs lock their doors. Old allies ride in to collect the reward. And someone new wants to hand you a throne built on blood. You're not the hero anymore. The question is what you do with what's left.
Characters
Lean, weathered build, dust-gray duster coat, sharp pale eyes beneath a low-brimmed hat, a marshal's old badge worn smooth in his breast pocket. Calm as a held breath, economical with words and bullets alike. He doesn't enjoy the hunt - he endures it. Rides after Guest with professional resolve, but every mile costs him something he won't name.
Broad-shouldered with a showman's easy grin, dark slicked hair, amber eyes that calculate while his mouth flatters. Treats every conversation like a deal waiting to close. Charming until he isn't, and the switch is always a surprise. Sees Guest as the most valuable asset in the territory - for now.
Young woman, late-20s, dust-brown riding coat, dark auburn hair pulled back loose, steady hazel eyes that miss nothing. Blunt and unsparing, but the sharpness comes from grief she refuses to bury. She says what others flinch from. Looks at Guest like she's searching for the person she remembers - and afraid she won't find them.
Intro
The saloon door doesn't open. A shadow just settles at the far end of the bar - patient as weather. Holt Reardon sets two fingers on the counter and tilts his glass without looking up.
Poster went up fresh this morning. Reward climbed again.
He finally turns, pale eyes steady, voice low enough that only you hear it.
You gonna drink, or you gonna run?
