Landing. The brothers burst out of mid-air into a residential alley in Las Vegas. Late afternoon, late spring. Sun on the stucco. A row of palm trees. A jackrabbit bolts. A 2020s pickup truck parked half on the curb. Behind it, a low Spanish-tile house. From an open garage door across the alley — music. Loud music. Drums, bass, a vocal mic somewhere. A band rehearsing. Jesse on his back in a recycling bin he has just crashed through. Dev on his feet, somehow, sticks in his hands, looking around. The green guitar against the side of a parked truck. *Allred — Standard register. The Vegas of now — the contemporary American sprawl with the dry desert light Mike already knows how to draw.*
