When they reached Diamond's shop, Abraham gave a data chip to a young girl in a yellow dress, who let them in.{{book ref|Steelheart|15}} In Diamond's shop, Abraham revealed to David that Steelheart was secretly afraid of the smart people, because those were the ones who would figure out his weakness.

The Reckoners attacked Newcago's power plant, in a dual attempt to steal fuel for the gauss gun and to destroy the power plant in Newcago, further planting the idea of a rival Epic. The day before the attack, Abraham scouted the area, using the tensors to dig an underground towertunnel. During the attack, Abraham and Prof were the first team. They broke in where all the huge equipment was stored, and worked their way upwards, charging explosives.

After Conflux shut off allmost of the power in Newcago, the Reckoners discussed how they would attack Steelheart. When David dedicated the following fight with Steelheart to Megan, Abraham noted that it was ironic, because Megan was the one who didn't want to bring down Steelheart. He claimed that the truth was not a downer, only the lies that they pretend to accept. Abraham believed that the specific type of gun was the thing that hurt Steelheart. However, Prof believed that only the Faithful could harm Steelheart, and claimed that Abraham might be able to kill Steelheart.{{book ref|Steelheart|33}}

Abraham drove in the same jeep that David and Mizzy were in. He got out to stretch his legs around Mile Marker 32, and when he came back, Mizzy and David were in the middle of a discussion about Mizzy wanting to murder Megan.

Even though they would be searched, the guards actually expected people to be armed, and didn't care if people brought weapons in. The Reckoners should also keep their heads down, to prevent suspicion. {{book ref|Calamity|13}}
