Kane begins listing everything the officers need to preserve.

Holt walks out to gather medical supplies as if we are already leaving.

Trent calls our pilot.

Arthur stays near Hayley and Sage.

Will does not move from in front of them.

I listen while officers enter the ranch.

They find Cole on the kitchen floor beside a dead man.

They find the woman locked inside the pantry.

Alive.

Injured.

Terrified.

“Ask her name,” Sage says.

Taylor relays the request.

An officer speaks to someone away from the phone.

When he returns, his voice is quieter.

“Marisol Reyes.”

Sage starts crying.

Hayley pulls her close.

Marisol is alive.

Someone tried to make sure she didn’t stay that way.

“What about Frank?” Sage asks. “Ask if Frank is there.”

The officers search the house.

The barn.

A small bunkhouse beyond the corral.

Frank Dalton is not on the property.

His truck remains parked beside the barn.

Blood covers the kitchen floor, but the officers can’t tell whether all of it belongs to Marisol.

The dead gunman carries no identification.

The SUV disappears before the responding units reach the south road.

One man escaped.
