The day was April 20th 2013 on a long and boring Saturday adam sat on his chair signing out loud as he did so he was struggling with his new routine his new life he struggled to let go. Beth was the only thing on his mind he knew he had to move on how could he when she understood him like no one else did he felt like he could be himself with her as someone with asperger's it was a rare time and probably the only time in his life or that is what he thought,

on the other side of the county nigel arrives at the airport of Manhattan he wanted to start again a new life I suppose after what happened to him in Romania he had felt he needed a change being shot in the head isn't the best experience he had trusted Gabi and loved her dearly but she had to go and shot him in the head like that so he decided to move away in hopes of starting new. He stopped doing drugs but smoking he still struggled with at least it was illegal righ?.

he arrives in Manhattan at 12:50pm he had nowhere to go if he was being honest he kinda picked whatever he saw first that is how desperate he is trying to get away his past that haunted him dearly.

He walks out of the airport and into a taxi he asks the taxi of a nice hotel around Manhattan in which the driver laughs "Manhattan where you come from sweat boy" the driver asked, nigel kept a cold face his thick accent was very noticeable "Romania" he said it came out as almost a whisper the driver smirked* "why Manhattan" nigel signed he was annoyed "can you just drive please" nigel responded the driver noded slowly his smug smirk still there as he drove away from the airport.

Adam was outside now he came downtown from the Replay Inc he was trying to buy some groceries but struggled to find the thing he wanted he looked in every place in the shop but refused to ask for help.

Nigel took out a cigarette ready to smoke when the driver stopped him "Hey um dude you can't smoke here not in my car sorry" nigel looked at the driver he wasn't happy "why" he asked in a very cold tone "cause it's the law simple hon" the driver chuckled nigel was ready to blow the drivers brains off
But he was done with that life so he puts his cigarette back soon after they arrived at the hotel and nigel got out he didn't have any bags with him only one simply to hold his money and some clothes, he walked into the hotel and asked for a room in which was given to him pretty fast he liked Manhattan so far or as he thought.

After some rest nigel felt hungry but not for hotel foods so he left to a nearby store. He walked in and looked around taking out a cigarette and started to smoke as he walked around someone stopped him "excuse me sir you can't smoke here" he heard a softer male voice behind him as he turned he saw a shorter male short dark hair, bright blue eyes, slim build and a awkward smile nigel stared like a idiot for a few seconds before he snapped out of it "and who are you to tell me that" he said cold stare the younger man stopped smiling "oh no I don't meant it as anything but there is a sign outside that said no smoking" *he said turning and pointing to the sign on the door nigel cursed under his breath "for fuck sake why can't I smoke in Manhattan" the young man smiled awkwardly "why would you want to smoke it's very harmful actually scientifically proven to do a lot like Cancer. Smoking causes most lung cancers and can cause cancer almost anywhere on the body Heart disease, stroke and blood circulation problems" nigel signed "enough I know I know" nigel said annoyed the young man noded "oh I am adam by the way you don't sound like you're from here where did you come from?" He asked nigel looked at adam "Romania" he responded cold Adam's eyes light up "omg Romania the birth place of more than thirty scientific and technological space missions in the Interkosmos program, including the 1981 flight of Dorin-Dumitru Prunariu on the Soyuz 40" he said nigel looked very confused but noded slowly "yeah what you said" adam smiled widely "what's you name sir" he asked nigel signed he wanted to go "nigel" he said quietly "nice to meet you nigel" nigel noded slowly about to walk away when adam spoke "oh wait did you know that I work in the Replay Inc" he said all excited nigel had no clue what he was saying "what's that" he asked even though he knew he was going to regret asking that later.
