A.N. Just for info in MY world of fallout it's not the same as in the game

quick summary : The LW is the FATHER of the courier. After 'broken steel' the LW went up north to canada with his wife Moira (from the craterside supply). The son, the courier, at the age of 19, left for new vegas. He is travelling with Cass and has a 'letter relationship' with his folks (each week he sends a kid to give them his messages). Just wanted to clear that up

Michael Grant, AKA the courier, was in his presidential suite with Cass eating at the table. It was roughly around 7 o' clock and they were talking about random gibberish. Suddenly, a small boy came out of the elevator. Cass was a little surprised that someone came up. It was true that, since the death of House, the courier opened the casino up to the public, so she saw more people than usual, but no one ever came to the suites. The small boy came up to Michael and handed him a letter. Michael took the letter and asked.

"Did they already pay you?" The little boy answered with a slight british accent.

"No sir." Michael took out a bag of caps.

"How much?"

"150 caps sir."

"150?" Last week it was 100."

"Well sir, the trip is long and there are more raiders on the roads nowadays."

"Okay, okay. Here you go. Come back friday and I'll give you my letter."

"Very well sir." The boy said while runningo the elevator.

"And stop talking with that english accent, it's annoying." Michael yelled to him.

"Good news?" Cass asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's...just a letter from my folks. They write to me once a week." He said, opening the letter.

"Yeah? And what do you talk about?"

"Well, without means of bragging, we talk about me." He chuckled. "I tell them what I do here and they make comments you know. Like remember last month when we went through Quarry Junction and you went to blast that deathclaw's head with your shotgun? God, you went really close to him. Anyway he, my father, he's the one who writes the letters, said something like 'that Cass gal is really a find. Stick with her.'" He chuckled.

"Well, he sounds like a pervert to me." They both laughed.

"Huh, weird. It's my mom who's writing... Usually it's my dad." As Michael read the letter, his face went from happy to sad-neutral. He looked up at Cass with a blank face. "Huh. He...He's dead." He said that line in the tone of someone asking. 'So, what are we gonna do tonight?'

"What?" Cass said. Michael didn't answer right away. He just looked at the floor for a minute. He got a hold of himself, got up and started pacing around the room slowly.

"Yup...He's dead." He chuckled sadly. "Shit, I knew this day would come but, I never got ready for it." Cass didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh don't be. I mean, he had a good death. In the end, that's all that matters."

"What do you mean? How did he die?"

"Uh...They were attacked. By raiders. Can you imagine? My father spent 65 years in the wastelands, fighting mutants, deathclaws and aliens, FUCKIN ALIENS... and it's a damn raider who gets him. But... I mean... He was protecting his wife... Protecting her and some sonofabitch gets in behind him with an axe. Well, at least he killed the guy while he was on the ground buuut...that didn't save him."

"Maybe you should go find your mother. Y'know look after her." Cass said.

"Oh, don't worry about her, she went to live in this town... They didn't live in a town just a little outside of one." He had a long sigh. "Great man my father... y'know what he did?"

"What?" Mike hesitated.

"Naah you wouldn't want to know. Usually when I start saying his story I get caught up. He told me his stories so many times when I was a kid I know them by heart. I could write a biography on the sonofabitch."

"Well, come on tell me everything..." She said, now truly interested.

"Nah, it's long and you'd get bored."

"Hey, long stories are my favourites and as long as we have some whisky I'll never get bored." Mike hesitated again.

"...Mmmmh Allright. But don't say I didn't worn ya."

This was just a prologue. The main story will start after this. (Don't worry, I won't tell the WHOLE game... just some parts I like)

Read, review and enjoy.
