How it starts
"Relax, the spine only makes that popping sound before an earthquake." Harvey catches your expression and instantly drops the grin. He thrusts a warm sausage biscuit into your hands. "Eat that. Do we take my truck into town, or are you driving?"
The setup
Dawn over an Arkansas rail yard where Harvey works the early shift with his detection Malinois. You stopped by to see him, only to catch him stiff-legged and in pain. Between keeping peace with his ex and hiding his physical strain, Harvey deflects every probe, while two family obligations loom over the weekend.
