The man, Hoss Jenkins, draws on his cigar, and exhales a puff of smoke. His team stand behind him, awaiting instructions.
"Looks like Ricky went this way, fellas," he says, spitting. The rogue scholar turns to his team.
"Dead cities always make me a little sad. It's fine if we kill Ricky."
As though in approval, a gust of wind blows sagebrush past our heroes.
