"Wait! You must help us Courier!" Dennis Crocker shouted at the black hair courier as she turned around and began to walk out the door.

"Yeah, yeah I heard that before, I'm not anyone's errand boy for that matter. I support the kings in every way, any ways there more organized than the NCR will ever be. I got a name ya'know." Walking out the door with one hand on her hip and the other in the air waving goodbye to the ambassador.

"Courier!" He stood behind his desk with on hand on the top in a fist, a long silent pause escaped into the air. "Rose!" He shouted loud enough so it echoed the hallway. She stood by the entrance of the building with a smirk on her face.

"It's Black Rose to you."

She walked out the door with her hands shoved in her pockets to see a few Kings waiting outside for her with Rex. She whistled for Rex to come to her before and he happily did. A light smile crawled on her face as she saw Rex and stroked his fur with her hand feeling the rough texture of it with its greyish, blackish color. She looked back at the men in front of her and she started to walk away with Rex.

"Hey where you going? You know you can't leave us standing alone in the strip like this." One of them shouted.

"Then use your god damn brain and follow me, were leaving any ways." Rose sighed remembering that they were not the brightest group of death claws. She walked along the streets earning whispers from people she passed by with. Most questioning the group of 4 kings that strolled behind her, but with one look they then shut up. She looked around at the bright lights of the Tops and smiled, remembering the wild night with benny.

"Thanks for the suit Benny, the lighter and Maria ain't that bad either." She chuckled to herself flicking the light and looking at the blue light that came out of it before placing it back in her pocket.

"Did you say something Rose?" One of the members asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Her voice faded as she looked over to a familiar man in a beige suit with a tiny black bow tie leaning on the walls of the Tops. He then pushed himself off the walls and walked towards them. Her green eyes narrowed at the sight of the man walking towards her and she stopped in her tracks to have the man catch up with her. The rest of the group walked forward a well enough distance away so they could at least whisper. Rex sat down by her feet and nudged at her hand.

"Vulpes Inculta. What is a man like you doing in the land of sinners, well according to your army." Her voice was like venom as she spoke with the man.

"Good afternoon to you too, Black Rose." He tipped his hat towards her using the same voice she used with him.

"Rose yeah' coming or not?" Another groaned as they stopped in their tracks. She signed as she looked back to the king members. "Tell the King I will be there soon that I have some business to discuss." She explained as they nodded their heads as a goodbye.

"Sure you don't need any companion while doing this business." Pacer, the right hand man of the King, asked her while nodded his head towards Vulpes who smirked. "I'll be fine Pacer, I'm a big girl, if I can take a bullet to the head and survive, then I think I can handle some harmless business." Rose winked at him before watching him walk off with the others, but with a hint of worry in him. As the gates closed and they were no longer in sight.

"Now what do you want." She looked up at the man who was clearly much taller and more built then she would ever be. "When I heard that you did not side with the NCR I was glad, but this, this was unpredictable." He frowned looking back at her.

"Yeah well, their nice people and never harmed the innocent. " She crossed her arms across her chest.

"Since when did you concern yourself about harming the innocent? You seem to do it in your free time." Vulpes pointed out watching her open her mouth and close it without any words coming out.

"I have no comment on that matter. Now for the third time what do you want?" Before she would get her question answered Vulpes made another comment.

"I also see that you had made an alliance with the Brotherhood of Steel, have we not?" He pointed to her mechanical arm that had the brother hood symbol carved on to it.

The Black Rose was known for two things, her jet black hair that was darker than Caesar soul, and her left mechanical arm gadget that she had created herself. Through she still has all of her limbs including her left arm, the metal was used more for protection but had an actual working purpose. From the shoulder there is a large round piece of metal, from there are tubes that connect the other pieces of metal to each other along with bolts and other what-not's. Then at the top of the hand is another ball of metal that connects to the little pieces of metal attached to all of her fingers. Few of the tubes connect to her flesh to inject automatic stimpacts when needed and other things. The thick metal on her hand can deflect a bullet, but if hit a certain area or a tube can destroy the whole thing. Still having her pip-boy attached to the metal. Her sleeveless shirt and vest makes sure that the structure is never hidden.

Along with the Courier's mechanical arm is her bright red bandana that is tied across her hair line, even though her black bangs still fall over the bandana. In black is written 'six' across it and her hair is down a little past her shoulder.

"My baby here needed a bit more repairs far beyond my experience, so I did a few favors and got it fixed up. Decided that this was the best way to let others know that I was one of them." She shrugged her shoulders looking back him.

"Now are you going to answer my question or do I need to explain my whole life story to you?" He noticed that her stance now changed.

"I'm here to deliver the mark of caesar, which allows you accuse to the fort, cease wishes to speak with you." He then dangled a piece of what seemed like jewelry in front of her as he placed it in her palm.

"What if I do not wish to arrive and speak with Caesar?" Rose asked then mentally wishing she didn't. Vulpes then leaned in closely his hot breath tingled her skin making her dizzy. "Then I hope you look pretty on a cross because we all know that this is an honor." He whispered before sliding a pocket knife from his sleeve and reviling its blade to her. The cold metal soon touched her neck before sliding down on to the fabric of her clothes and down to her exposed stomach. She then chuckled before speaking up "Vulpes, you and I both know I would look prettier in your bed than on a cross, you see crosses aren't really my style."

He raised his eyebrows ever so slightly, not fazed at the comment, but more in thought about it. He tilted his hat forward towards the young reckless courier. "I expect to see your appearance at the fort."

Rolling her eyes, she snorted at him. Crossing her arms across her chest, "Do you realize that the journey is about 3 days minimum, if I don't run into any problems?"

"Then I suggest to start walking, Ms. Black Rose." He turned around and headed out the gates hands shoved into pockets and head hung low. She watched him leave and left her wondering, should she make the long journey to the fort? Or would it be a waste of time? She knew what she wanted and had her mind set to it from the day she rose out of the grave. She wanted New Vegas. She wanted it all. She never told anyone, even the Kings don't know what will happen. But she figured they didn't really care since they owned Freeside. But a little trip to the Fort won't hurt, hell maybe she will ask to have Pacer accompany her with Rex.

She walked out the gate to see Vulpes nowhere in sight.

"Sneaky bastard has his ways doesn't he?" She would talk to herself and nod her head side to side. Walking down the street pass all the sercuitrons and to the music and bright lights of the Kings. She smiled to herself watching the other Kings acknowledge her appearance walking through the door and into the stage room to see the King sitting with Pacer watching a terrible performance. Pacer yawned before slamming his head back on the table.

Rose flung a chair around and sat next to the king, who face turned into joy right when he had saw her. Reaching for her hand he placed a gentle kiss on the top before she withdrawed it back. "What a great sight to see instead of this horrible performance." He slicked his hair back and smiled his heart warming smile. Pacer lifted his head and leaned on the palm of his hand. "So what's been going on with the NCR now?" The king sighed, patting Rex's brain case with a light tap gaining the young mutts attention.

"The NCR are up to no good, there is no use in agreeing with their ideas at the moment, I prefer we wait till we get a better idea of what is exactly going on with the whole New Vegas-Mr. House-Legion-and NCR bullshit." She admitted tapping her fingers on the old but sturdy table.

"I see whatever is best for us. I count on you for any if not all information." The king relaxed in his seat taking a sip out of his glass. The young female sighed at this comment adjusting her bandana across her forehead and looked up to see Pacer looking at her with a blank expression.

"King I didn't come here to talk about the mission but to inform you I will not be around the area for a week or two. I have some important personal business that I need to attend too." She spoke calmly looking down at his fingers wrapped around the clear glass cup.

"I see do you need to steal away a few of my men on this 'personal business trip'." He asked.

"No, none at all. All I will be taking with me is Rex and maybe a good friend, if even that." Rose crossed her legs thinking if it would be a good idea to bring ED-E or even Arcade.

"Young Pacer here is a good friend of you, why not bring him?" King hinted as he looked over to see Pacer smiling.

"King." She spoke low and her voice dark. She stood up from the chair and lend forward there face inches away.

She then continued, "Can't I do anything without 'the kings' following me. Maybe I will stop by the Great Khans to see how there doing, or even Jacobstown to make sure no one has been bothering them. But when I say personal I damn right mean it, King."

Turning on her heels, she started to walk away from the table.

"Rex let's go." She called then whistled. He jogged up by her side, as she waited by the door.

"Goodbye King, pacer. I'll see you when the time comes." With that being said she walked out the door with the mutt behind her.

The king sat at the table toying with the glass in his hands watching as the last drops of sunset sarsaparilla swirl around at the bottom of the glass. He raised his head looking at the ruined wall in front of him.

"Pacer." His voice breaking the silence.

"Yeah King?"

"I want to you to follow our little Courier to wear she is going and who she is bringing along with her to her 'little personal business trip'. Don't be spotted, stay low. Now get going." He spoke quietly.

"I'll go pack my bags." He said as he walked away from the table.

Still seated at the table, the king grinned to himself.

"There are no secrets in the Mojave desert, Courier Six."
