Calico

Jack and Maddie, we were this unlikely pair, a traumatized cop and a mob-connected reporter, trying to unravel the mysteries Calico was so intent on hiding behind its convenient ghost stories. We were digging, pushing, pulling at the threads of this town's dark tapestry, and every tug brought us closer to something far more horrifying than any phantom miner. It led us straight into a viper’s den. The Mongols. Not the motorcycle club. Not the historical horde. This was a different beast entirely. A powerful mafia syndicate that didn't just encompass states, but entire goddamn countries. A global disease with tendrils reaching into every dark corner of human enterprise. Could we escape? Or would we, like so many others who’d gotten too close to the truth in this cursed, sun-baked town, become just another urban ghost story, whispered about by tourists on a dusty afternoon? The thought tasted like ash, and the Maggie Mine suddenly felt a lot less like a tourist attraction and a lot more like a freshly dug grave.
