Despite Gareth’s considerable clout in Rithol City, Julien didn’t help him directly. However, Julien did drop hints about the identity of the assailant-likely Bowen-and the other key figure involved in the incident.

Gareth believed that there must be someone out there who could put Bowen in his place.

Bowen didn’t dare confront trouble head-on, but there was no way he could just let his son’s beating slide-especially with the boy still in police custody. Once his injuries healed, jail time was a real possibility.

That very afternoon, Gareth headed straight to Souther Park-Enrique’s usual chess haunt-to waylay the old man.
