At one-thirteen in the morning, a small rented sedan rolled west on Highway 290 through the quiet streets of Dripping Springs.

The driver, Julio Olivares, was a stout, squat man with a thick, droopy mustache, bushy eyebrows, and pockmarked skin. He was fifty-three years old and looked every day of it. He had yellow teeth from smoking, but it wasn't a problem because he never smiled.

Next to him was an expatriate American, Tyler Jackson. Former Marine, dishonorably discharged. Twenty-nine years old, six foot two, with a crew cut and a torso sculpted from iron. He was a monstrous man. If you looked closely, you could see needle marks in the crook of his arm. That's where the steroids went in. Jackson had a criminal record so profound he had been forced to flee the States three years ago.

Luis Ramiro, a tiny man in his mid-twenties, was in back, dozing. Luis was like that—laid-back—the kind of guy who could fall asleep with federales banging down his door. In fact, he had done exactly that on one occasion. Unlike Jackson, Luis didn't need brawn. He could shoot a fly off a horse's rump at a hundred meters.

They followed Highway 290 to the intersection of Highway 281, took a right, drove about two hundred yards, then crossed over to Miller Creek Loop. Six miles later, they saw the impressive granite entrance to the Circle S Ranch.
