Please READ and REVIEW it means a lot.
Kate stepped out of her suite and out on to the balcony of the Lucky 38. Looking down to the building's entrance she pleasantly noted that the builders were almost done re-furbishing the entrance. It was the last thing left to do before the Grand Opening of the New Lucky 38 Hotel and Casino. After the Second Battle of The Hoover Dam, Kate was able to convince the NCR to leave New Vegas and the surrounding area alone. She did it with the help of Yes Man and the other securitrons. With New Vegas free Kate decided it was time to once again open the Lucky 38 to customers. A year and 60,000 caps later the time was finally here.
Walking back inside Kate turned to Yes Man "Alright, what's on the schedule for today?" As she spoke she walked back over to her large wardrobe and started trying what to decide to wear.
"You have a meeting with Miss Farkas to discuss the state of their operation. Then Elder McNamara has agreed to meet with you about your offer of assistance." The smiling securitron said, his odd smile was something Kate was sure she was never going to get used to.
"Very good," she held up two outfits, a pair of jeans and a red blouse the other a suit of leather armor and a leather duster "Which one do you like more."
"Whichever one you like more mistress." He said still smiling
"Typical guy." She muttered as she hung the first outfit up and threw the armor on the bed. "Get in touch with the King will you, I have an idea I wanna run by him." Once changed, she selected the cowboy hat off the rack near her door and walked out into the hall. She made her way over to the elevator and took it to the main level. She walked across the new casino floor. She looked around and was still amazed by the transformation that had taken place. Where cobwebs and dust had once covered every surface, now they all had a polished shine. She waved to the dealers that were still learning their way around. She had to borrow/steal dealers from some of the other casinos in order to train her new hires. Stepping outside she waved at Bill the construction foreman.
She kept her head low and disappeared into the crowd. She successfully made her way to Freeside without being recognized. As she was walking toward the Follower's base in the Old Mormon Fort she saw someone that caught her eye. Walking down the street toward her was a man. Kate had a pretty good knack for labeling people, drunk, adventurer, trader, rich person it didn't matter Kate had seen them all. The thing about this guy though was that Kate was unable to place him. He defiantly looked like a fighter, he had the scars, but he also had that slight judgmental look that Kate new was common to the richer casino patrons. He was wearing an outfit that was reminiscent of the cowboys that Kate saw plastered everywhere in the form of posters. He had a Stetson and a duster on ,same as her, then under it he had a pair of brown jeans, and a blue button up shirt. He had a duffle bag slung over his shoulder. Under the duster she was that he had on a holster with a revolver in it then on the other side he had what looked like knives.
She stood on the street corner watching him, unable to look away for some reason. Suddenly she was pushed to the side as person ran by her, it was one of the local Freeside lowlifes. He ran up to the new stranger and yanked a bag off his belt. Typical Freeside robbery, eventually you learned to keep your money on the inside of your clothing. The lowlife was only five steps away when the stranger flicked his wrist. Something flew through the air and hit the lowlife in the shoulder, he went down. When the lowlife hit the ground Kate was able to see that there was a knife handle protruding from his shoulder. The stranger casually made his way over to the fallen man and calmly pulled the knife from his back and wiped it on his knee.
"Just so you know, I could've punctured your lung and killed you." He said leaning over and calmly plucking the pouch from his hands. Then he reached into his duffle and pulled out a stimpak "Here," he said dropping the stimpak on to the ground in front of him "clean yourself up, and tell your friends. " He turned around and started walking back toward the main gate. As he walked by Kate he paused and tipped his hat at her before continuing on. Kate stared after him only turning away when he reached the inner gate. She shook her head and pushed open the door to the Old Mormon Fort.
