Scarlet and Court sat on the top of the Vikki and Vance Casino, overlooking the people milling about down in the town of Primm. Scarlet's binoculars glistened in the sun as she sought out a promising mark. After finding not one, she plopped down and swore at the sky above her. She snapped her fingers and Court reached into her pack and handed Scarlet a bottle of purified water.

"This town is dead." she said as she drank. Court rolled her eyes.

"We could just go to New Vegas, you know. Shit, I'd settle for just Freeside." Court interjected.

"Okay, one: Securitrons are crawling all over the fucking place. Two: crazy-ass gangs are all over the fucking place. Three: who the fuck told you to talk? You're my slave; not my travel agent." Court opened her mouth to retaliate, but Scarlet shot her the look and she clammed up. "Besides," Scarlet said, "I don't have enough money for the credit check. Or even a counterfeit pass." Scarlet downed the rest of the purified water. "I don't think I have even enough caps to get through the week."

The duo looked back down at the town, the sweat beads dropping lethargically off of their bodies. They stood up and descended a ladder down the side of the building spooking some nearby locals in the middle of a conversation.

"We need to go somewhere new. There's nothing left here." Scarlet said. As the pair prepared to leave Primm, Court noticed something on the side of the casino: a bounty poster. The target was, from the small description, an area nuisance. Killing Brahmin, burning homes, etc. Now he's killed a man and his family, probably as they tried to stop him from attacking their livestock. Court tore the poster down and handed it to an irritated Scarlet. "You know I don't work with - or for - the law. Let the bullshit sheriff get him." Scarlet snapped.

"2,000 caps. Enough to keep us alive for a while." Court responded.

Scarlet spat, "Not if your dumb ass gets us shot looking for a Brahmin killer." Scarlet's stomach growled. She snapped her fingers, and Court reached into the pack. She retracted her arm, smiling slightly.

"All out." she said.

"Motherfucker…" Scarlet sighed.
