The Ones Who Live in Espington

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. I hope you enjoy Book One of the Piner Trilogy.

Many Mistakes and Misunderstandings

7:20 PM

Bruno had been sitting in the Guard House Interrogation Room for over thirty minutes now. He hadn't seen Jago, Sayer, or Julius since the drive to the Guard House. An unfamiliar Guard stood near the entrance of the room, completely silent with a blank stare at the wall behind Bruno. There were many times where Bruno had tried to get the Guard to speak but the man hadn't budged; he had kept his blank stare. Bruno had had better conversations with the table lamp then with that Guard.

It didn't matter; Jago and Sayer finally entered and the other Guard left.

"It's about time," Bruno said frustratingly. "Thought you guys forgot about me."

"Don't get smart with us," Jago said. "Like I said before, I never trusted you. Everything that happened in Espington was with you; everything bad started when you came."

Bruno chuckled under his breath, "It's funny because I thought we established that Adlington was the cause of all this, like the carriage explosion."
