Leah woke to the sun shining on her face through the partially opened window. She heard the usual growling before the banging on the door. She looked over the blankets to see a head poking through the doggy door. She rolled her eyes and sat up.
The Skag gave her a pitiful look until she finally got up and cracked the door open. It pushed the door open with its head before walking in, wagging its tail. For some reason this Skag had taken a liking to her, often stretching out on her bed and watching the door during the day while she worked. It certainly made one hell of a guard dog.
It watched as she moved about her cabin collecting the gun parts she needed to do her new project. Her old sniper rifle was starting to act up and was now beyond repair so she decided that she would make herself a new one.
She brought the parts to her workbench and got to work. She was almost three beers in when she started hearing noises from the Skag. Someone was around and it wasn't until she reached the door that she started hearing the roar of an engine and the sounds of a psychos. She quickly grabbed a sniper rifle, listened and aimed just as they came over a hill.
It took only seconds for them to come over the hill and only milliseconds for her to line up the shot and pull the trigger. The bullet hit the driver square between the eyes causing his head to virtually explode. Leah laughed, put a spike through the engine and exploded the vehicle and everyone else in it. They would eventually learn not to come uninvited around a Siren who preferred to keep to herself.
The Skag pushed past her, slapping her legs with its tail before taking off out back. She went back inside and put the gun away. It was the perfect test for the new gun and it worked exactly the way she wanted it too.
She decided to put on the radio while she worked to restock her supplies of guns that she would sell. For her it was the perfect way to make a living.
The radio hissed for a minute before the station came to life with news from all around Pandora. Honestly though it only really started when Handsome Jack and the Hyperion Corporation arrived on Pandora. Most rebels listened to it for news about what the Hyperion Corporation was doing.
Speaking of which, today's news was buzzing about Jack derailing a train that reportedly had new Vault Hunters on it. Oddly that didn't surprise her as he tried to get rid of them since they seemed to cause him trouble. She was so engrossed by the report that she barely heard the knock on her door. She looked up to see Lilith, a fellow Siren, standing in the doorway.
"What have you got for sale?"
Leah scratched her head and looked at the open door as the Skag reappeared before growling at Lilith and pushing past her to take up its usual spot again. Lilith just gave it a look of shock.
"What were you looking for?"
"An SMG and a Sniper"
Leah laughed at the fact that Lilith could barely take her eyes off the Skag. She went and grabbed what Lilith was looking for.
"It's 21 for the Sniper and 19 for the SMG"
Lilith picked up each of the guns to test the weight before handing the money over. Leah put it away.
"So did you hear the latest news about Jack?"
Lilith gave her an odd look.
"No I haven't"
"Jack derailed a train that supposedly had Vault Hunters on it. Someone needs to put a stop to Jack's little game. Mind you, it's making me some decent money."
Lilith didn't say anything but gave the Skag one last look and her a wave before leaving. Leah and the Skag looked at each other; she could swear it was wearing a smile on its mug.
"There are some days…."
