=//Do I Stay or Do I Go?// = = =  **BACK **

After signing the indenture contract, you are taken back to the jail. You will sleep here one more night before meeting with the magistrate in the morning. This time, you’re put in a cell with a few other men.

“Let me guess—vagrancy?” a tall man missing both front teeth asks you. You nod, and he introduces himself. “They call me Smiley” he says. Apparently all of the other men in the cell have been arrested for vagrancy too, and they are also going to be indentured servants in the colonies. “So, do you know where you’re headed yet?” Smiley asks.

“I heard we’re going to have a choice. All the colonies need more people, especially more workers” another man chimes in.

“I guess we’ll have to wait until we see the magistrate tomorrow” replies Smiley.
