Author's Note: This short story is set in Fallout: New Vegas and is about Boone's service to the NCR Army, 1st Recon Battalion.
Our company was assigned to kill a gangster in New Vegas. We decided to head to Freeside to gather some intel on our target.
Chapter 1: Hired
We entered through the North Gate. We looked around and spotted a fort: Old Mormon Fort. We walked up to it and pushed the gates open.
Inside were the Followers of the Apocalypse. We asked the guards about him but they said to ask the doctors. Most doctors were busy but one doctor answered: Arcade Gannon.
"You mean the driver?" he asked.
"Yes, the driver." I answered.
So he was a driver.
That was clue number one.
"What about him?" he replied.
"Do you know anything about him?" I asked calmly.
"What do you want to know about him?" he countered.
So that's the game we're playing.
"Tell us what we want to know!" Manny yelled impatiently.
The guards look our way.
"You can't threaten me here." He counters smirking.
Well he doesn't know Manny.
"Then you better talk." counters Manny.
"We was picked for a job by the Fiends." He spat.
That was our first lead.
With that we walked right out of the Old Mormon Fort. We kept on walking, straight to the Fiend's turf.
To this day I don't know why he talked.
