Manny now runs his own nightclub off a converted automat near the edge of the Forest. A year passes, and the city of Rubacava has grown. Manny arrives at the small port city of Rubacava and finds that he has beaten Meche there, and waits for her to show up. During the trip Manny encounters Salvador "Sal" Limones, the leader of the small underground organization Lost Souls Alliance (LSA), who is aware of Hector's plans and recruits Manny to help. Manny recognizes that he cannot stop Hector at present and instead, with the help of his driver and speed demon Glottis, he tries to find Meche on her journey in the nearby Petrified Forest. LeMans then sells the tickets at an exorbitant price to those that can afford it. After setting Meche on her way, Manny investigates further and finds that Domino and Don have been rigging the system to deny many clients Double N tickets, hoarding them for the boss of the criminal underworld, Hector LeMans. The Department computers assign Meche to the four-year journey even though Manny believes she should have a guaranteed spot on the "Number Nine" luxury express train due to her pureness of heart in her life. Manny steals a client, Mercedes "Meche" Colomar, from his co-worker Domino Hurley. Manny is frustrated with being assigned clients that must take the four-year journey and is threatened to be fired by his boss, Don Copal, if he does not come up with better clients. Manuel "Manny" Calavera is a travel agent at the Department of Death in the city of El Marrow, forced into his job to work off a debt "to the powers that be". The game is divided into four acts, each taking place on November 2 on four consecutive years.
