Me and Missy had a little boy. Missy died in child birth, I buried her in our backyard. But Jake is doing just fine.
I walked out the back door and in front of Missy's grave. I can't believe your gone, you were always a good friend and loving wife. I felt tears starting in my eyes and tried to hold them back. Missy, you've given me the greatest gift in the world, a son. Jake is so smart. I know you would be proud of him, I know I am. I make sure he brushes his teeth and combs his hair. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner. He's starting school again soon. I'm also teaching him important stuff he'll need to know if he decides to venture off into the wasteland. Here, he wrote you a letter, he said I can't read it so I'm gonna place it right here. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

I'm surprised I'm actually graduating school. I spent most of my time with my dad working on what he calls wasteland survival skills. As I walked on stage to get my diploma I couldn't help but think my life was about to change forever. I shook hands with the principal and lined up for a picture when the doors to the auditorium busted open and these people with black armor and assault rifles burst in and shot up everybody, including my dad. I looked around and realized that I was the only one alive. You one of them yelled, come here now. What's going on I asked them, your our target. Unfortunately we can't kill you right here our boss wants to meet you. I felt them cuff me and put a black bag over my head and tie it. I don't know how far we walked felt like miles. When we stopped they took the bag off and I saw we were in a building in a junkyard. One of the guard hit me with the butt of there assault rifle and I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was in a cell. A girl who looked about my age maybe a year younger came walking up to my cell. Get up she ordered. I got up. She unlocked the cell and I stepped out. I think we were on the second floor or something because I heard something crash and heard gunfire. The girl grabbed my armed and pulled me into a room with her and locked the door.
What's going on I asked, raiders she replied their getting bigger in numbers and are swarming places like this where the Talon Company Mercs are busy with killing people like you. Wait why do you want to kill me. She sighed, your father and you were suppose to be killed because we don't want you messing with us or anyone else. Incase you don't know your father was a legend in these parts of D.C people called him a Messiah or Last hope for mankind, some shit like that and we were ordered to take him and you out. But the boss wanted to see you. where is this boss, he was downstairs now but probably got slaughtered. So does the contract still stand I asked. Yes until someone else higher up calls it off. So what are you gonna kill me now. Yep she said pulling out her gun. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Someone was pounding on the door. The girl pulled me away from it and uncuffed me. She was right I front of the door when it went down. She fell to the floor and was knocked out from the door being busted open. Her gun though slid near me. I grabbed for it right as they started pouring in. I shot every single one of them down. I dropped the gun and walked out, I felt something hit my chest, when I looked down I saw that I was bleeding, I turned around and saw a raider had just shot me point blank with a 10mm pistol. A second later the raider fell to the floor. The girl ran over and said you're bleeding pointing to my chest. Yea and so what your gonna kill me anyway, I can't she retorted, if someone else kills our target it won't count as one of us did it, because the way we kill our targets we do it in a way that people know it's Talon Company. Unfortunately I don't have anything to attend your wound to so we have to go get some medical attention. She got a bed sheet and wrapped it around my chest tight. What's your name I asked her as she finished wrapping me up. Katherine but people call me Kat for short. I already know who you are she said. So what do we do know I asked her looking her up and down. Well first we need to get you medical attention, the way I see it we have 3 days until you bleed out to death.
I was wearing a t-shirt, blue pants and black shoes. My white t-shirt was crimson red since I was hit internally. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 3:15pm. We both left the building and went walking to Megaton. That was the closest place but would take about 8 hours to get there.

As we were walking Jake asked me questions like where did I come from or how I got to work for Talon, he did that for about a hour before I told him to shut up. 6 hours later we came to the elementary school or what's left of it. It was raining so we went in and closed the doors. I told Jake to keep quiet because this place was raider infested. I pulled my assault rifle off my back and reloaded a clip, I killed most of the raiders. We turned this corner and I felt something just hit me and I blacked out or something. When I woke up I was in Jakes arms being carried somewhere. I felt his shirt which was getting damper now that he had been carrying me. I don't know I felt safe in his arms like nothing could hurt me. He opened a door and laid me down on the couch. I looked around and saw that he had made a bed by pushing mattresses together and putting a sheet around them. he checked his watch and then tightened the bed sheet which now looked like part of his shirt because of how red it was. He picked me up and laid me on the pile of mattresses while he laid a little bit away. I woke up to my pants feeling wet. I looked over to Jake and saw a pool of blood flowing in my direction. I crawled over to him and saw that he was pale. He was still breathing. The bed sheet around him wasn't working anymore and there wasn't anything in here with enough pressure to slow the bleeding down. I saw his green eyes shimmer underneath his dark brown hair. Look I said holding him still, the only way your gonna survive is if I apply pressure to slow down the bleeding and since there's nothing in here to do that I'm going to lay on top of you to slow the bleeding down. He didn't say anything but looked at me shivering all over his body. As I lay on top of I realized how toned he was, I could fill his muscles underneath me. I felt him slowly stop shivering. I lifted my head of his shoulder and looked at him, our face inches apart. I quickly looked away hiding my red face in his shoulder.
I felt something wrap around my body and felt his arms across my back. When I woke up I saw that he was gone. I followed the blood trail which led outside and up into Megaton. I walked into Megaton and went into the clinic. You're lucky you got here when you did kid, unfortunately I can only slow down the bleeding and give you some med x and stimpak's, if you wanna stop bleeding you need to go to Rivet City.
Jake
I saw Kat enter the clinic right as I finished talking to the doctor. Her wavy black hair followed with her bright blue eyes and a somewhat pale skin, she looked beautiful. As we walked out of Megaton she spun around to face her and said don't every do that again, you scared me I thought you were dead or kidnapped for a second and then I would not have gotten paid. Don't worry, when I woke up I quietly got up and left not to wake you up. I said with a smile. Okay we need to get to Rivet City before you bleed out to death she said. I know let's just go. As we were walking passed by the Anchorage Memorial. Stop I said to Kat as we got to the memorial. What is it she asked looking concerned, my dad and my uncles were in the Great War. And she retorted sounding annoyed. I have to pay my respects, I walked up the steps and pulled out my cross necklace and said a prayer. As I stood up I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around only to be shoved against the wall. What is it ka-. I didn't get to finish before I felt her soft lips pressed against mine. I pulled away, she had a look of lust in her eye, I knew what she was thinking but if we did have sex I probably wouldn't live to feel the end of it. No Kat we can't, then let's get you fixed up she yelled and grabbed my hand basically dragging me to Rivet City. Wait I yelled. We were just approaching the steps of the memorial. Kat what made you wanna fuck me I asked her. I don't know she said, last night when you left I felt so alone and I didn't want to be alone. I know when I first met you, getting you fixed and killing you was my goal but you showed me that maybe there's a meaning to life than just killing people to get money, maybe there's a chance that we can save people instead of killing them. And for your contract I'm not going to finish it. She was taking off her armor and once she had it off and was in nothing but a tank top and shorts, she held out the contract and burned it. I'm no longer a Talon Merc, I'm yours and Jake I know we've only known each other for a short while but you showed me the meaning of life and I love you.
