Chapter 2: Things Change After 200 Years
"New targets, eh?" I say to Snooper. "Yeah, hm. That one is for 150 caps! Damn!" He says. Pointing to a picture of a man. "Nah, to cheap," I reply. He nods and continues to look at the other targets. "Looky here. If it isn't Sector and Snooper?" I heard someone behind me say. I took out my dagger and turned around. Snooper noticed and took out his beagle (the gun, not the dog). "Look, we don't want to fight. Just checking out the list," One-eyed Mark said. His gang put down their weapons and started doing their own thing. "Want to grab somethin'? Just the three of us?" He asked. "We were just leaving," I said, grabbing Snooper and walking away. "So, I grabbed this one target," Snooper said, handing me the poster. I scoffed and pushed it away. "But the price is over 1 million caps." That right there stopped me. I turned around and snatched the poster from his hands. I looked at the target and snickered. "Really? A vault girl for over 1 million caps?" I said, looking at Snooper. "Yep. This could be enough to buy us some body armor." I nodded and smiled, in an evil way. "Looks like our next target is Natty Flowers." "Maybe we should go to the vaults? She bound to be there," He recommended. I nodded in agreement. "Let's go," I said, loading up my sniper. Snooper did the same, but with his AK. "I think one of sales man here sell some maps of vaults for about, 200 caps each." I scoffed and said, "I only have 600. And you?" "600. We can only buy 6 maps if I'm right," He said, groaning. "It will be worth is after wards." He nodded and started to walk. "He should be around the corner," Snooper said, turning around the corner. I turned around the corner, to find the guy there. He was on a box yelling out things for curtain prices. We walked up to him and he eventually noticed us. "Hello there fine gentleman! I have some very good..." Before he could finish, Snooper turned into his second personality and grabbed him by the neck. "Listen here. How much are your maps?" "S-sorry, can't help you with that." "You better tell us, or I'll slice your tongue so you can never sell anything again," Snooper, no, more like Slasher said, taking out his knife. I did the same and took out my dagger. The sales man winced in fear and took out his maps. "Here! Take them all! Just don't hurt me!" I took the maps and Slasher let him go. "If you tell anyone me and Sector were here," He then took his knife and pretend to slice his throat. "Come on Slasher. Let's get home." He nodded and started to walk.
"I hate it when Slasher comes out," Snooper, who turned back into himself awhile ago, said. "I like Slasher. He's very useful when it comes to threats." Snooper laughed and punched me. "Don't worry. See, we are home," I said, pointing at our home, that was in a cave. "Yay! Home sweet home!" Snooper shouted, running into the cave. I continued to walk until I reached the entrance. Snooper was already on his bed sleeping. What a sleeper.... I went over to our desk. It had maps, posters, and other useful papers. I placed down the maps the sales man gave us. I opened one of them that showed vault 11. Nah, that one got shut down years ago.... she wouldn't be there.... I looked at a different one that showed... vault 17? I examined the vault's surroundings. How did that guy have a map of this? I've never seen any of these surroundings anywhere.... she probably wouldn't be in there... I then looked at a map of vault 111. She has to be in that one..... I rolled up the map and put it in the nearest backpack near me. I started grabbing supplies for the long journey. Snooper noticed me walking around grabbing items and shoving them into two backpacks. "Where are we going now?" He asked, covering his face with one arm. "To vault 111. She has to be in that vault." "What about vault 19?" Snooper asked, getting up and looking through the maps. "That vault got destroyed by the vault people, remember?" "Oh, I forgot." I rolled my eyes and continued to pack our bags. Once I was done I handed Snooper one of them. "This should last us at least over a month if we don't waste much." He nodded and put the back pack on. "How long exactly?" "A few weeks, maybe months." He nodded again, and went outside. I looked around to make sure I didn't forget anything. "Looks like everything's packed," I said, walking outside. Snooper was already outside waiting for me. Snooper was loading up his deagle and sniper while waiting for me. "All ready to go Sector," He said. I nodded to him and started walking. "What if....she isn't there?" Snooper asked. I laughed and replied, "You ask to many questions. And if she isn't there, then we keep searching." Snooper nodded and started running a bit. Oh, a challenge I see... I then started to run faster ahead of him. He smirked and started to pick up the pace. I started to run faster and faster, but backwards. Once I was in front of him I smirked and said, "We need to save some energy you know!" He nodded and slowed down to a walking pace. I did the same and soon we were side by side, walking to vault 111.
