Chapter Two
Before Vegas
Jacqueline and Boone made it a point to earn caps before heading to New Vegas. The couple of weeks they had travelled together, Jacqueline seemed to be showing her true colors. She was strong, smart and a damn good lock-pick.
The two had worked their way through tight situations of the unforgiving wasteland. Both had also gained quite a good reputation with the New California Republic rather than the infamous Legion.
Today, Boone and Jacqueline were back in Novac, going over their objectives and caps.
"How many caps do we have?" Boone looked over to Jacqueline.
Jacqueline had just finished counting. "Five thousand, six hundred and ninety-eight." She scooped all the caps into a medium sized pouch. "What's next on the list?"
"Sloan."
Jacqueline cringed. "All of that worrying over a stupid Deathclaw egg…"
Boone leaned back in his chair. "You know…" He tilted his head back to stare at the ceiling. "We're going to have to find a new place."
Jacqueline raised a brow and smirked. "Didn't think we were that serious, Boone."
Boone snorted and stood quickly. "Fine, if you don't want to take this seriously, I'm out."
"Oh, c'mon. Just teasing."
Boone huffed angrily and glared at Jacqueline. "I'm just saying that it's possible that the Legion might come to attack this place."
Jacqueline simply rolled her eyes and lay down on her bed. "Well, we wouldn't have to worry about that if you could control your fits of rage against random-"
The door slammed.
"Legion," Jacqueline sighed and began to feel bad about what she said. A nights rest would help bury the tension for tomorrow.
