    As the sun set over the rolling hills of Montana, Sheriff Beau Arlen gazed out at the familiar landscape, a mix of emotions swirling in his chest. It had been three long years since he'd left this small town, trading in his badge and gun for a life in the city, working as a Sheriff in Houston, Texas. But after a painful discovery that his old partner and best friend Jenny Hoyt died and a custody battle all over again for his daughter Emily, Beau had finally won the right to raise his 6-year-old daughter, Emily, in the place he loved most, the small town Montana.

    As he drove down Main Street, Beau noticed the changes that had taken place in his absence. The old diner was now a trendy coffee shop, and the hardware store had been replaced by a boutique selling outdoor gear. But despite the changes, the town's charm remained intact. The people were still friendly and remembered him, even greeted him as if he was never gone at all, the air was still crisp, and the mountains still towered above, majestic and unchanging. Beau's thoughts turned to his new home, a old farmhouse on the outskirts of town that he'd purchased sight unseen. He'd heard rumors that the place needed some work, but he was looking forward to fixing it up and making it a home for him and Emily. As he pulled up to the house, Beau's truck rattling down the dirt driveway, he felt a sense of nostalgia wash over him. This was where he'd grown up, where he'd learned to ride a horse and fish in the nearby streams. The farmhouse had been in his family for generations and he is very glad that he found out that this town are his family roots, but after his parents passed away, it had been sold to outsiders. Now, it was his again, and he was determined to restore it to its former glory.

    The next morning, Beau pinned on his badge and headed to the sheriff's office that is connected with the Fire department, feeling a sense of pride and purpose. He'd been sworn in as the new or rather old sheriff, and he was eager to get back to work, to serve the community that had once been his home. As he walked into the office, he was greeted by his new deputy, a young woman named Sarah, who looked like she'd just stepped out of a rodeo.

    Sarah:"Morning, Sheriff, i'am your new deputy!"

    she said with a smile.

    Chief Grey:"Welcome back to Montana, son."

    Cassie:"Welcome back, Beau."

    Beau smiled back, feeling a sense of belonging.

    Beau:"Thanks, Cassie, Sarah and Chief Grey. I'm glad to be back in tha' o'l town. Much has changed but still tha' o'l town i kno'."

    As he settled into his office, Beau couldn't help but think about the challenges ahead. The town was changing, and he'd need to get up to speed on the new dynamics. But he was ready for the task. He'd faced down outlaws in his days three years ago, and he wasn't about to let a few new businesses and newcomers rattle him. Just then, the door burst open, and the firefighter Departement just came from a case and are all exhausted.

    Chief Grey:"ah, Arlen. The new thing also here is that our department is linked with the fire department upstairs. Our department is now named: Lewis and Clark County Sheriff and Fire Department. And here they are, Chief Zen Ford, the Chief of the Fire department upstairs. Come i introduced you to Chief Ford, the Chief of our Firefighters. C'mon Beau, let's get to them. Ford will you introduce you to Jenny's little sister too."

    Beau:"Alrigh', let's get to it then. First day here again an i can't wait to work again like o'l times. I didn’t even knew Jenny had a sister."

    until he saw someone familiar. A woman in firefighter overall and boots, croptop with the hair tight-up. He knows this woman from Houston when he worked there many many years ago alongside Chief Ford from the Firefighters.

    Chief Ford:"Sheriff Beau Arlen, my name is Chief Zen Ford, commander of the Fire Department and this is my right hand-"

    Beau:"{{user}}?"
