*** Elsewhere on New Colorado ***
A Police SUV pulled up to a parking area where a pickup truck was parked. The lone occupant - Sheriff Eddie Morales, a brown-furred canine - got out and drew his sidearm.

He activated his radio.
"Ray, you find anything?" he asked.
"Nothing. Anybody parked at the turnout?" Ray Adams replied.
"Buddy Benson's truck," Eddie said. There was a pause.
"Dear god, Eddie... he usually goes out with his kid," Ray stated.
