Then the stranger laughed. It was a dry, hollow sound. "You're bluffing."

He didn't smile. But the fire in his eyes burned a little brighter.

"No," Boone said. "That's what a deputy does. A sheriff walks the streets at midnight when the widows can't sleep. A sheriff knows which family's cow is sick and which boy is stealing eggs because his daddy drinks the grocery money. A sheriff carries the dead to the undertaker and lies to their mamas about how quick it was, how they didn't suffer." He leaned on the bar, his weight settling into the wood like a tree settling into old ground. "That badge you're wearing? It ain't authority. It's permission to give a damn."

The stranger walked out. The batwing doors swung behind him. A moment later, the mule's hooves clattered on the hard-packed street, and then there was only the sound of the wind and the creak of the saloon sign.

The sheriff looked at her for a long moment. Then he took down his hat from the peg by the door. His fingers, gnarled as oak roots, brushed the brim once, twice, a habit from decades past. "The governor's been dead six years, Mabel."

Clive the bartender let out a breath he seemed to have been holding since Tuesday began. "Sheriff," he said, "how did you know he was lying?"

"The governor," Boone said, "has been dead for six years. You tell whoever gave you that badge that if they want Red Oak, they can come and take it. But they'd better bring more than a mule and a smile."

"You got papers?" Boone asked.

The trouble came on a Tuesday, the kind of bone-dry Tuesday where the dust hung in the air like a held breath. A stranger rode in on a mule—not a horse, but a mule, which should have been the first sign something was off. The stranger wore a black coat despite the heat and kept his hat pulled low. He tied the mule to the rail outside the saloon and went in.

A few men laughed—the kind of laughter that comes from the throat, not the belly, because they weren't sure yet which way the wind was blowing.

The stranger's smile finally faded. His hand tightened on his revolver. "You giving me a speech, old man?"

Boone took a sip of his sarsaparilla. Set the glass down. "Tell me something, son. You know what a sheriff actually does?"

The saloon had gone quiet when Boone pushed through the doors. The stranger stood at the bar, one hand flat on the wood, the other resting easy on his hip where a revolver sat in a polished holster. He was younger than the sheriff had expected—maybe thirty—with a face that was handsome in the way a razor blade is handsome: clean, sharp, and likely to cut you.
