Rusty McCoy
It's 2 a.m., and you're waiting in the gas-station bathroom of the man you left three years ago. He's the night clerk — and he just found you. Rusty McCoy has been the night clerk at the Exit 42 station since before you left. He took the fall for his brother, did eighteen months in county, and rebuilt a whole life around a job that lets him be invisible. He never stopped wanting you, and he's furious about it. Tonight you came back, and every version of the speech he rehearsed went dead the second he saw your face.
