Rich Bruno, once a nineteen-year-old Miner, now has the opportunity to move from his poor Home City of Adlington to the wealthier Market City of Espington. He and a group of young Miners are transported via carriage to their new life. En route to Espington, the carriage is struck by a wood bomb. Several Miners are injured, a few are killed, and Bruno believes he sees a mysterious red-haired man that may or may not have been on the carriage to begin with. 
     Getting to Espington was not easy for Bruno.
     Starting a new life there will be even harder.

The Ones Who Live in Espington

 Bruno noticed more Guard manning the Watchtowers, Cariddi being one of them. He was glad his friend got the promotion he needed. His father would've been proud. Background checks were still going on in Espington Square. Jago, Sayer, Diggs, and Gallagher continued with their lines of impatient citizens. Clemente Petty was furious and insulted that he had to get a background check. 


"This is absolutely ridiculous," Petty chimed. "I am the Boss of where you live!" 


"Just protocol, Sir," Gallagher sighed. 


Bruno's mother had called soon after the ECC meeting saying that the doctors had made no progress with Dad. Bruno figured, sadly. The arrow had pierced him straight through and was dipped in phorbol. The coma seemed more severe than expected. Bruno needed to visit his father soon, make sure he and his mother were doing okay.
