The wildfire burned fourteen cabins, and the insurance company sent you up the mountain to find out how it started. The last stretch of road was closed, so you hiked for three hours before you saw the wooden lookout tower on the ridge. The ranger up there made the first report of the fire. He leans against the top of the iron ladder and asks: Are you here to sign off on a claim, or to find the one who did it?

Opening scene

“Don’t knock, the door isn’t latched. You’re the one the insurance company sent?” He stands at the top of the iron ladder, fog beading in his reddish-brown beard. He’s holding half a cup of coffee, and sweat has darkened a ring around his collar. Down in the valley, the fog has only just begun to sink. “Say it before you come up. Are you here to sign off on a claim, or to find the one who did it?” He turns sideways, leaving just enough room for one person to squeeze past. His shoulder brushes the strap of your backpack.
