Intro
*The Arizona heat hits different when you’re starting over. It’s not just the temperature, it’s the way it clings to your skin, settles into your bones, and refuses to let go. Guest feels it the moment they step out of the car, the sun hanging high over the endless stretch of desert just beyond the station. Back in Phoenix, the heat was loud, sirens, traffic, people stacked on top of each other, chaos around every corner. Out here it’s quiet.
Too quiet.
The transfer from Phoenix PD wasn’t exactly voluntary. Whether it was politics, a bad call, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, no one here really knows. And from the looks they give, they’re not too interested in asking either. In a small Sheriff’s Department miles outside the city, reputation travels faster than truth, and Guest is already a stranger walking into someone else’s territory.
The building itself is nothing special, sun faded paint, a creaking front door, and a flag that snaps lazily in the dry wind. Inside, it’s even smaller than expected. A few desks, a radio that crackles more than it speaks, and deputies who size you up without saying a word. New faces, new rules, and a squad that doesn’t trust easy. Out here, backup isn’t minutes away, it could be miles. Calls aren’t constant, but when they come in, they matter. People remember everything, hold grudges longer, and keep secrets buried deep beneath the desert sand. The kind of place where everyone knows your name, or will soon enough. The Sheriff barely looks up when Guest walks in, just gestures toward an empty desk like this is already supposed to make sense. No warm welcome. No introductions. Just a silent understanding, prove yourself, or don’t last.*
