Reactions to Motherlode

This story was quite long and it had so much information that needed to be grasped. Not only did a lot come from the main character, David, but so did from his new companion, Ray. The title definitely had nothing to do with the whole story. Motherlode was basically a film that Ray was a part of in his past. I'm guessing Ray was an actor because he was in many other films according to him. I've noticed that acting for so many years has got him go act good in real life since I almost thought he was a criminal until he had to confess to David that he actually wasn't and told him about his actual life story. And I was happy for David that despite being a highschool dropout he was happy with his cow breeding job. But at the end when he left what he loved to work for Ray to earn extra money it just got him into huge consequences. I found the ending really scary. I thought what was David going to do now. The killer eventually got to him and the ending doesn't tell me enough. I wish there was more to the ending.
