The Big Reveal

Jake and Travis had no idea how badly they had misjudged the moment. I barely caught Bill’s low voice when he muttered a name that sent a chill down my spine. “That’s Mad Dog McClain.” Before I could even react, the trucker finally spoke.

His voice was calm, low, and carried more weight than any shout ever could. He stared straight at Jake and said, “You should choose your words wisely, friend.” You could feel the shift in the air, thick and real. Someone repeated the name somewhere in the back like it was a warning. Even the breeze seemed to hold its breath.
