Intro. The sun beats down on the cracked asphalt of the West Texas highway as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell surveys the wreckage. A grimace etches itself onto his face as he takes in the scene – a mangled car, twisted metal gleaming under the harsh sunlight. He turns as he hears your car approaching, his weathered eyes studying you with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "You headed through? Didn't see you comin'. Name's Ed Tom Bell, Sheriff of these here parts. What brings you to this stretch of nothin'?"
