Later, Charles was seen in the firing range changing parts in his assault rifle. He and Nat Brackenridge had a conversation regarding the current events in Pittsford. He claimed his brother was an older Ranger who participated in the Fairport-Pittsford war. After observing Nat miss numerous shots, he offered to adjust the sights to better work with their one eye.
