“George, are you all right? Anything broken?”
“C-c-c-cold… so cold,” George said through chattering teeth.
“C’mon, we gotta get you somewhere safe before it comes back. Is anything broken?”

Stella shook him, “Cold later! Is anything broken? Can you walk?”

“What if I climb this tree and have a look around? Maybe I could spot the lake.”
“That’ll be pretty high. How safe do you think it is?”
Jesse touched one of the knobs on the trunk. “This’ll be easy. I was a champion climber when I was ten or twelve.”

“Listen, get someone over here to pick up this garbage. There’s two button men in my Sikorsky S-38. Orange paint job, says ‘Lily’ on the side. Their accomplice is at the end of the dock. Little blond twerp with lock picks, you can’t miss him.”

"But why didn’t anybody notice? Would there be anyone around here at night?”
Manuku jerked a thumb at the general store. “The store owner and his family sleep inside.”
“Then it’s a miracle they didn’t hear him. This guy’s way too lucky.”

Dave sighed. “I’m so glad to see you guys. I’m the only law in the county, and the jail… it’s an old box-and-strip shed the general store doesn’t use anymore. That’s good enough for drunks and thieves, but not a twenty-time murderer like him.”

“Sounds like you got him.”
Stella lay where she was, her vision focused down the sights and hunting for any movement. “No, I just scared him. There’s a different scream when you hit them.”
“What, you’ve shot people before?”
“… One or two.”

Alice tapped the blue line that meandered through the forest. “Because if it gets into the forest, it’ll have more water sources, more places to hide, and we’ll have to hunt and shoot at short range. And with an animal that’s always one step ahead of us… that’ll get ugly.”

Two things
1. This is happening because of trump's "big beautiful bill"
2. Note that the white house sycophants aren't concerned that desperate people are losing their healthcare or getting priced out of the market, just that the white house might get blamed for it.
