Motherlode - in class

David is starting his day off peacefully.  His life which we learn is somewhat mundane and boring is about to become interrupted.  His life has routines that are normal for him.  His job is his career. His career is his business brand.  His business brings him all around this town as he has a lot of traveling that he does.  The townspeople know him.  He has a familiar face.

When David meets Ray he actually gets a bad feeling that I dismissed as "not a big deal".  As Ray's somewhat stalker like behavior became more and more creepy my guard started to go up.  I genuinely became more and more concerned for the outcome of this encounter.  I didn't think that David's safety was at first at risk.  I felt Ray would be a nuisance when they were still in the diner.  Who knew?

The vibe was uncomfortable but only at a level of, "maybe David made a mistake" unintentionally with this Man's (Ray's) Farm or cows.  When Ray followed him out of the diner, I knew it was getting worse.  The Gun ended my positive outlook.
