Chapter 1: Just another job
As Kate looked through her scope she could see several small sheds surrounded my people whose mere clothing screamed deranged sociopath.
"Looks like about Seventeen of them down there as far as I can tell, but there might be more inside" she paused for a second to continue scoping the area.
"Seems like most are using pistols or SMG's but one of the lunatics has his hands on a missile launcher just give the word and I'll take him out first." Kate was then distracted as a strand of her bright red hair fell in front of her eye. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see a young man with lightly tan skin and dark brown swept back hair.
"Alright I'll lead team one where we will flank them from the left whereas team two led by Andre will push straight down the center moving from cover to cover." as he finished speaking another man with dark skin and goatee answered with "You got it Chris, so whose on my squad?"
"You got Fawkes, Diana, Clover, Charon, Jericho, and Butch." After pointing out each one he then said "So Jesse, Jason, Maria, and Dogmeat are with me." Chris said as he motioned towards each individual he called out. He then pointed to their team's sniper and said "And Kate you stay up here and do what you do best, oh and for God's sake do something about your hair the last thing we need is a sniper who can't see." She simply gave her leader the one finger solute before going back to her post.
The two groups separated and while Chris was waiting to initiate the attack he felt something tap on his shoulder he turned to see a girl with many similar characteristics as Kate except with a more natural looking shade of red hair and she had it tied in a bun, Chris knew she was would not approve of his decision to bring her on his "What is it Jesse."
"Are you sure I shouldn't have gone with Andre's team" she then motioned towards the other squad "I mean there more likely to get wounded with a straight up charge." She looked into his eyes that showed both signs irritation, due to her constant questioning, but also compassion as he knew she truly cared about each member of the team.
"Listen Jesse I know you want to help them but you have much less skill at fighting as they do and the last thing we need is to lose the only one of us with any medical training" he saw the fear in her eyes that something might happen to one of her friends "don't worry they know what they are doing they'll be fine, trust me." Jesse sighed and said
"Okay I trust you."
"Good"
Meanwhile as team 2 waited for the signal a woman with shoulder length blond hair and green eyes was beginning to get irritated by the long wait. She looked around at her team and thought of the opinions she had for each of them, Andre and his large Gatling gun in his hands ready for a fight, he would blindly follow Chris into any battle, idiot. Jericho the annoying old man who thought he was some sort of badass because of what he used to be. Then Charon; Diana was glad Jesse bought that walking maggot farm he is very useful on the battlefield though I know that is not why she purchased him Fawkes is something else, a frankenstien who was actually somewhat competent. Butch, Diana hates him. Then there is Clover that crazy slave girl has become obsessed with her ever since Diana bought her from those morons at Paradise Falls. If it was up to her three of them wouldn't be breathing right now.
"What the hell is taking so long" Diana said in very irritated tone.
Andre turned around and said to the blond haired woman "Diana will you calm down, will go soon okay"
"Will you shut up Andre I have heard enough out of you for one day" but as Diana finished talking they heard the sound mole rat off in the distance Andre then turned and looked at his squad
"Alright let's go"
"Finally"
"Shut up Diana"
"He is right this desire for a battle will one day get you killed"
"Bite me Fawkes"
After that Andre and the others began to charge at the raiders. As bullets and a few laser flew across the sky, the group moved from cover to cover, staying safe but still managing to get kills. Until one raider with a missile launcher aimed his gun right at them only for a bullet to pierce his head and he was completely obliterated. Meanwhile the others managed to sneak behind their targets and take out the few bandits remaining. As the last bandit tried to run off he was immediately stop by a man grabbing his neck and shoving sword through his abdomen.
"Nice one Jason, guy almost got away." Chris said to an Asian man with short black hair and well-groomed mustache/ goatee combo. Jason simply nodded
"You know for a sword wielding badass you don't really talk allot." Andre joked.
"And for someone with a gun as big as yours you still don't manage to get as many kills as I do." To that Andre just gave a sneer while Chris and Butch couldn't help but laugh a little. Butch went on to praise Jason saying
"Man nice comeback Jason."
"Oh shut up Butch, we all know you hit behind a rock that whole time." Diana stated snidely.
"Hey this tunnel snake is not afraid of nobody"
"Sure keep telling yourself that, you spineless piece of sh-
"Hey guys were did Maria go?" Jesse interrupted Diana? Meanwhile as the rest of the team was joking and boasting outside, Maria made her way into one of the small sheds. Maria was a young Hispanic woman with beautiful looks but has cut and marks all over her skin do to years of drug use, she also has half of her hair shaved off looking rather unladylike. She began to take a syringe out of her pocket but then thought to herself.
"I can't believe I'm already out, I sure." But as she was about to use the last bit of Psycho she had left Maria noticed a small safe. She than took out her lock pick and began to pick the lock on the safe. Maria opened to see a large stack of Psycho, Jet, Med-X, and Buffout she grabbed a nearby bag and began to fill it with all the drugs and caps in the safe. But then the door to the shed was slung open reveling Chris coming through the door.
"Maria what are you doing in here"
"What do you care?"
"I care because I don't want anything bad to happen to you and neither would Matt"
"Don't you dare talk about what he would want for me!" Maria yelled at the slightest mention of his name.
"Look I know you are still upset but you need to move on"
"NO!" she yelled at Chris "you and everyone else may have given up on him but I won't, he is still alive and I will wait forever if I have to."
"Fine, but one day you got to accept the fact that he may never come back" After that Maria fell to her knees and began to cry uncontrollably. After that Kate ran into the shed.
"Chris we found the guy, uh what's wrong with Maria?" to which Chris responded
"Guh, okay stay with Maria make sure she doesn't do anything crazy"
"Got it." After that Chris left the room and to where the others were. He then saw Jesse treating the wounds of the imprisoned man.
"Don't worry sir. Everything is going to be okay."
"Thank you young lady, I don't know how I could ever repay you all for what you've done" At that time Chris walked into the small room the man was kept in.
"I'm sure the hefty paycheck for wife promise will suffice."
"Yes my wife please tell me she is okay"
"Don't worry she is fine." But then Andre interrupted their Conversation saying
"Hey Chris you may want to look at this" he then handed Chris a piece of paper that read
Dear old friends,
it has been to long since we last spoke. But I must say your team has made quite the name for yourself, and I do hope that we may meet again soon.
Sincerely, an old friend from megaton
P.S Prepare for unforeseen consequences
"What the hell is this?" was all Chris could say.
