ROCKY FORD, COLORADO – Three Law Dogs; Cody King, “Steel” Zachary and David
Cannon, have placed the town council of Rocky Ford under house arrest. The
charge is harboring a dangerous criminal, the rapacious warlord known as
Rictus. According to the citizens who summoned the help, Arlo Bale, Cynthia
Spector, and Meredith Barney had arranged for Rictus to recover from severe
burns in the basement of the town’s water pumping station. The warlord
escaped mere minutes before the arrival of the law and is still at large.
All three perpetrators claim that voices in their dreams told them without
aid, Rictus would sicken, die and infect the entire town with a fatal
illness.

EAST CANAAN, TEXAS – Citizens in this remote town are calling for the
attention of any Law Dog within traveling distance. Residing in the local
jail is a waster going by the name of Radbug. Three nights ago, the town
awoke to the sight of eleven bodies cooling in the wrecked remains of the
town bar. Cause of death for all of the unfortunates is dismemberment with
Radbug being the only survivor found in the ruin. The accused maintains his
innocence and claims that his motorcycle is the true culprit.
