Its inhabitants are the descendants of the first inhabitants of the city and also of the founders of this one. There were five founders of the city, they were peasants who knew how to build enormous wealth thanks to the city. Among the founders were Edwin Sparks, Jonathan Nicolson, Paul Richards, Alaric Shepherd and Edward Stanford. Over time these five families became wealthy and powerful.

One hundred and fifty years later, the town of Greenlake is prosperous and everything is going well, the days pass and all look like a movie on repeat.

One day, on a beautiful morning, the sheriff Adam Wilson decides to leave for a tour of the city, his usual round; he has in mind to make the same route as usual and then return to the station for a cup of tea and donuts from Katy's shop as always. However, arrived at the entrance of the city, the sheriff meets a family at the edge of the road. Surprised to see new faces, the sheriff accosts them and speaks with Andrew Williams, the father of the family who explains to him that they have a flat tire and asks him for help.

_Gary the mechanic: hello sir, I'm Gary Stevens but everyone calls me Gary the mechanic, what can I do for you??

_Andrew Williams: My wheel is punctured, can you do something?

_Gary the mechanic: Of course boss but say, you are not from the area, right??

_Andrew Williams: No I'm from New York

_Gary the mechanic: New York the city of dreams; but what brings you here, in this lost hole ???

_Sheriff Wilson: I think that's enough questions, hurry up and fix the wheel so they can leave.

_Gary the mechanic: Good. I'm finished

_Andrew Williams: Wow!! That's fast; how much do I owe you ??
