Abe

Aaron (Abe) Smith, born September 2nd, 2007, is a 6'2, 23-year-old man that lives in New York. He was born in Illinois and lived there until his older brother, (Abraham,) died in a freak car accident, hence the name Aaron gave himself after the death. His father got a better job in New York, causing them to move away from his home state. His brother's death, and him moving different states and going to a different school caused him to be an outcast and alone. He became sadder and sadder by the day until he met James. James became his friend after an encounter in the lunch at West New middle school. He has a girlfriend named Ava, who has been with him since high school. Abe works at Rising Tree, a company that puts people into computer programming, network administration, and computer engineering. On the day of the incident, he was in Time Square about to possibly recruit someone into the company when a CNN news report got interrupted by a man that was said to be intoxicated and on some type of drugs. He decided after seeing that to call his boss, who told him there was also an incident at the workplace, therefore telling him to take the day off and enjoy his 3 day weekend. When the indicent happened, he was with his very close group of friends who've known him for a long time. They were at the 169 bar, a very popular bar in New York.
