Eda Initial Stage history[]
A Savage Place[]
When Eda was abducted by the prepper Burt Gummer, Amber Whinberry wanted to find her and went to the sheriff's office for help. There, in his office, she relayed to Archer that she encountered dangerous men and then an old man suddenly appeared with a machine gun, comparing the town's atmosphere to Chicago in the 1920s. The sheriff politely advised her to calm down, but Amber argued that she could not be calm because she just witnessed her friend being abducted. Nonchalantly informing her that he knew who abducted her friend, Archer stated that the culprit, Burt Gummer, was a prepper who lived in the nearby suburban woodlands. He elaborated that Gummer's family had owned the forest in the area for generations, adding that in recent times, the Enos family took notice of the area. Amber asked if there was oil on the land, which Archer denied and explained that the Enos family wanted to clear out the forest and build a large resort with leisure facilities. As a result, the two parties continued to conflict over the land for 10 years, making Amber note that a resort would become a missed business opportunity over a decade. Confirming, the sheriff said that the conflict was likely ongoing because the Enos family felt that they could not back down after spending their wealth.
Archer then recalled Gummer's false belief that the Enos family tortured and killed his daughter Angela and fed pieces of her corpses to crocodiles, intriguing Amber. He clarified that, in reality, Angela and Enos II were secretly dating, though Enos II was unaware of the former's true intentions. Amber asked if that was really true, to which the sheriff affirmed that Angela was a clever woman who convinced Enos to take $500,000 from his crime syndicate. Upon receiving the money, Angela disappeared, leaving Enos all alone. After his daughter's disappearance, Gummer went even more insane and went on a rampage day after day, becoming subsequently banned from all the stores in town. In similar mental deterioration, Enos, who was in despair after being abandoned by his ex-love, tried to commit suicide by diving with his car off a cliff into a canyon. Although the young man survived, he had severe burns across his body and was paralyzed from the waist down. Taking in the story, Amber demanded that the sheriff take her to Gummer's house since they knew where Eda was. Archer was hesitant to do so and, after thinking silently for a few seconds, called for the deputy sheriff Crocker. Introducing him to Amber, the sheriff ordered Crocker to guide the woman to Gummer's house, reasoning that he was very busy with all of his work.[1]
