He is taken care of by the people of the village and the local Vietnamese Vo Sur starts to train him to live without vision. He then trains Nick in the use of a sword and how to dodge incoming objects.
20 years later in Miami, Florida, Nick is walking down State Road 84.

In Reno, Nevada, Frank Devereaux is held by his feet over the edge of a casino roof by Lyle Pike and Tector Pike while MacCready, Slag and Cobb watch. MacCready tells Frank that he owes him a lot of money from gambling and threatens to hurt Billy Devereaux and Lynn Devereaux if he doesn't make drugs for him. Nick goes to Lynn's house and as he is walking to the door, catches a clay triceratops that Billy was making and then dropped. He knocks on the door and Lynn answers it and lets him inside after he introduces himself. She tells Billy to go outside and play and they talk and she tells Nick that Frank is in Reno. Nick senses someone at the door and when Lynn answers the door, two Crooked Miami Cops and Slag walk into the house. They say they are looking for Billy and when Nick asks if they have a warrant, Slag grabs Lynn. Billy happens to come inside from the back door and Slag shoots Lynn. A fight breaks out and both of the Crooked Miami Cops are stabbed to death by Nick with his sword cane. Slag jumps out the window and a dying Lynn tells Nick to bring Billy to Frank.

During the battle, Nick was blinded while Frank left him behind. The bus stops at Gale's General Store in Kansas, and Billy tries to call Lynn. Nick tells Billy that Lynn is dead and Billy runs into the nearby cornfield and Nick follows him. A group of Cornfield Killers including Popcorn, Six Pack, Snow, Female Biker and Slag drive up in a truck and start to chase after Nick and Billy. Slag grabs Billy and throws him in a shed.
