* [[David Charleston]]
}}
; Plot Summary
David checks on the Enforcement officers, then retrieves his notebooks, and his folders on Steelheart, Nightwielder, [[Firefight]], and [[Conflux]]. Roy says that David is working for the Reckoners, but David makes up a cover story about working for an Epic named Limelight who is coming to take over Newcago from Steelheart, and that Roy should leave his job while it is safe to do so. David sets his bed on fire and leaves to escape with Cody and Megan as Enforcement helicopters arrive on the scene. Megan berates David for leaving the two officers alive but he explains that they will throw their superiors off their trail with his cover story, and Cody agrees that they aren't the real enemy.
David removes the battery from his cell phone as a precaution at the advice of Cody, who doesn't trust the [[Knighthawk Foundry]]. As they return to the safehousesafe house, Cody and David speculate about Prof's background prior to the rise of [[Calamity]]. Cody tells David about their protective jackets and the [[tensors]] that Prof developed after experimenting on Epics that allows them to disintegrate non-organic materials. They arrive at the safehouse and Prof seizes David's notebooks to assess their value.
