Chapter 3: Hand It and I'll Fix It
I was about to begin and order until I was interrupted by Stryde. "Hey, we have a new order." I sighed and placed down the gun. "What is it now?" I asked, wiping my forehead, cause it was pretty hot. "From some bounty hunters. Want to see if they can get their snipers to have some better aim," She said, motioning to two guys outside talking. "Let me talk to them," I said, walking outside. I walked up to the two boys and said, "What's the occasion?" They both looked at me confused and said, "Just want some better aim, why?" "Well, a bunch of bounty hunters, like you two, come here and ask the same request, so they can scope someone. So, I am asking, who is the person?" "First of all that is not your business," The one with the beagle said, pointing it at me. "Well, if you're going to aim a gun at me let me introduce myself before I die." I coughed, more like pretend, and then said, "My name is Singer. I work here in the engineer company. I can fix mostly anything. Who are you two?" The man put down the beagle and said, "Name's Snooper." The other man said, "I'm Sector. Nice to meet you." "Now, since we know each other. Why don't you tell me who the lucky person is." "Sorry pal, don't want anyone to take this one," Sector said. I saw a poster sticking out of his backpack and quickly grabbed it. "Oh, this is a good one I must say," I said, looking at the poster. "You better not tell anyone," Snooper said, in a threatening way. I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't do that. So you can trust me." They both nodded in satisfaction. "Good, and, can you add something else to our order?" "What exactly? Cause you already have to pay me 50 caps for the sniper." "Just another one, with the same adjustments. How much would that be?" Snooper asked. "Well, you could pay 250 caps, or a trade." Snooper took out his beagle and handed it to me. "How much would this take off?" I examined it and said, "This would take off about 100 caps. So, 150 caps plus this." Sector nodded and said, "We'll do that." I nodded and walked back inside. Stryde was already at work with the sniper adjustments. "Look what they gave me, and only for one sniper and two adjustments." Stryde put down that sniper and looked at the beagle. "This is in good condition too." I nodded and said, "I will work on the second sniper, you keep working on that one." She nodded and went back to work. I went into the storage room that was underneath one of our cabinets. We have our reasons for hiding our storage. I moved away the cabinets and went down the ladders into our storage. After awhile of searching, I found an old sniper. It could use some fixing, but it'll work. I grabbed some extra parks and went back upstairs. I put the cabinet back in place and started to work on the sniper.
About, an hour later, we were finished. "Here you are boys," I said, handing Snooper his new sniper. Stryde gave Sector his new fixed up sniper. "Here you go," Sector said, handing Stryde the 150 caps. "Come again!" She said happily. They two laughed and tested out their scopes. "This is pretty good," Snooper said. Sector nodded in agreement. "Expect us to come back another time," Sector said. We waved good-bye was they both left, off to get their next target. "So, what was the reason?" Stryde asked me as we walked back inside. "Just this one vault girl." "How much?" She asked. "I think it was about, over 1 million caps." She gasped in amazement. "Wow! That's a lot!" "Yep," I said, sitting down on the couch. "Why don't we go after her? That would be enough money to move into that one place we've always wanted to go to." I nodded in agreement but said, "They called her first." She looked down upset. "But, that doesn't mean we can't meet her." Stryed looked at me happily and clapped. "Yesh! Some adventure!" I laughed and got off the couch. "Well, they didn't tell me where she could be, but I think I have an idea." "Come on then! Let's get ready!" She jumped off the couch and rushed into our room. She then came back out with two dirty brown backpacks. "We pack out own things," She said, handing me one of them. I took the bag and started to pack. I grabbed my personal items. Like my journal, money, tools, map, compass, and my scarf. "Do you have to bring that?" I nodded and put it on. "It makes me look sick!" I said, posing in a superman way. She laughed and continued to pack.
Once we were done, we locked up the storage and the whole place. "Okay, that should do it. What weapons do you have?" I asked, putting the keys in my backpack. "I got a bow, pistol, and machine gun," She said, taking them all out. I stared at the bow and asked, "Why the bow?" She shrugged and put it on her backpack. "What about you?" I took out an assault rifle, pistol, and a knife. She waved her finger in the no no way and said, "Why are you so violent?" I laughed and said, "Well, I do love violet." She rolled her eyes and said, "Was that really a pun?" I nodded in a funny way, which made her laugh. "Let's stop wasting time. Into the truck!" We got into our truck and started to drive. "Where do you think she is?" Stryde asked. "Well, the only popular vault that I know of is vault 111. And if they're heading there, we'll be there first." "Nice." We then started talking about, you know, personal stuff.
Two hours later, we were at the entrance of vault 111. On the way, we had ran into a town so we raided some houses and got some loot. "You first," I said to Stryde. She sighed and opened the vault with her hacking skills. She jumped in and I followed after her. "You got a flashlight?" Stryde asked me. I didn't know where she was so I just said, "Yeah, give me a minute." I dug around in my backpack in the dark until I found it. I flicked it on and flashed it around. I saw Stryde kneeing on the ground. "Thank god you found that," She said, standing up and walking over to me. I handed her the extra one I had. "I think the vault people should be this way." We started walking down a hallway. The whole place was messed up, like no one has touched it in years, which was true. We turned around a corner and found a room full of people in frozen containers. "I heard something," Stryde said, taking out her pistol. I took out my riffle and starting pointing at places anyone could jump out of. We then heard something open at the end of the hallway. Some of the remaining lights that weren't smashed turned on. We turned off our lights and slowly walked down to the chamber that opened. Of course, we were aiming our weapons at whatever made that noise. Once we were at the end of the hallway, we hid behind one of the chambers. I peeked out from one side and saw a girl come out of the chamber with a German Shepard. "Sis!?" I heard the girl say. I peeked again and was shocked at what I saw. It was the girl from the poster. How did they know about her? The dog then started to sniff our way and bark. "What is it, um, Nikita?" Stryde then came out holding up her machine gun. "Get your hands up!" She yelled. The girl grabbed the dog and stood still. I then came in and held up my rifle at her. "What's your name?" I asked her. She gulped and said, "My name is..... Natty. Have you seen my sister?" Stryde put down her gun and asked, "What's her name?" "Her name is Rosy. She is 5 years old, has brown hair, purple bag, teddy bear." "Sorry Natty. Haven't seen any girl like that." Natty sighed and looked at the chamber that was in front of hers. "Did you come from in there?" I asked, pointing at the chamber she just came out of. "Yes, my sister was in this one. But no one is in there." I came closer and saw that no one was in there. "Well, that's the least of your problems," Stryde said, walking up next to me. Natty looked at her confused. "There are two bounty hunters out there looking for you," I finished for Stryde. "Bounty hunters?" "How long have you been in this vault?" I asked her. She thought about it for a moment and then said, "About 200 years, I think." "You have a lot to catch up to," I said. "But first, let's get out of here," Stryde said, walking out of the room. Natty looked at the chamber her sister was in for one last time and walked out with Nikita in her hands. I looked at the device pad next to Rosy's chamber and looked up the date it was released. 10 years ago....Natty ain't going to be happy about that.... I ran after them, deciding not to tell Natty the news.
"What took you so long?" Stryde asked, loading up the truck. "Just checking for loot," I lied. She nodded in response. Natty got into the truck, not saying a word to us. She sat in the back with Nikita and I drove again, with Stryde sitting next to me. I started the truck and we began to drive. After two minutes of driving, something fired at us. I looked behind me and saw Snooper and Sector. "Natty, hide in the trunk," I said to Natty. She nodded and jumped into the trunk. Stryde was petting Nikita, so Natty couldn't hide with her. I stopped the truck and waited for Sector and Snooper to catch up. "Hey guys!" Stryde shouted, waving to them. Snooper waved and Sector snickered. "I saw someone else in your truck. Who was it?" "It was probably the dog you saw," I said, pointing at Nikita. "Yep, we found her here. Isn't she so cute?" Stryde said. "Are you sure?" Sector asked, getting up in my face. I pushed his face away and said, "Yes, and besides, I said I don't do that sort of stuff." They nodded. "Can we have a ride?" Snooper asked. I shook my head and said, "Don't you two have a job to do?" "Yeah, you make a point," Snooper said. I nodded in a good-bye way and started up the engine. They kept watching us drive away until we were out of site. Once we were that far away, Stryde told Natty she could come out. "Were those the two guys?" Me and Stryde nodded. Stryde handed Nikita back to Natty, who started to hug and kiss her. I continued to drive until we reached home. Should I really be helping the one my boss wants? He would fire me if he finds out....
Oh snap!
