Receiving the call from Rickle, Dean had left his home almost immediately. He had only taken a small backpack filled with just enough to last him five days or so.
Then in his wallet he carried a photo of his family all out together at a fast-food restaurant. Gary’s mouth was covered in ketchup, while Amy was pointing and laughing as a child.
Dean himself had a disgruntled look while Maya had a beautiful smile, she was laughing at the whole situation. It was one of Dean’s most treasured photos.
Eventually, before he knew it, his feet had taken him back to the tier 2 city, where one of the bases of NIRV was located, where he had met Rickle.
‘NIRV sure has grown in a short time, they have these facilities in some of the tier 1 cities now as well. I wonder why Rickle, one of the founders, is here in a tier 2?’
Dean hadn’t kept up with a lot of news regarding the world. They were in a tier 3 town, and he was too focused on just his family and trying to get by.
