Chapter Two
Travels
Two convicts stood in front of Prim's Mojave Express outpost having a smoke. They were talking about when they broke out of the prison north of the city. They looked back to the NCR guarding the bridge, the only way out of the city. They knew that all they had to do was out last the NCR and this town would be theirs. They looked at the troopers who sat behind their barriers for protection. They both laughed and taunted them as they finished their smokes.
Suddenly the man on the man on the right grunted a bit causing the man on the left to look over at him. Just then the sound of a gunshot came to his ears as he looked at the other con. He had a hole in his chest that was bleeding as he slowly fell to his knees and died before his body hit the road. The other con turned and decided to try to run to warn the others in front of the casino. Just as he came out to be in front of the casino and looked at the other three who were looking back at him. Just as he opened his mouth a bullet caught him in the temple of his head. It exited out of his right eye sending blood flying through the air towards the ground.

Chris pulled his head back from his sniper scope after seeing the blood spray out of the man's head. He looked over to Andria who was still looking through her scope of her varmint rifle. She quickly told him about two snipers on the roller coater and Chris quickly looked through his scope. They looked as the two men searched for where the gunshots had came from. Chris picked the man on the left while Andria took the man on the right. They both fired their guns at the same time sending the bullets down range towards the two men. They both watched as the bullets slammed into the men sending both of them flying off of the roller coaster. They looked back to one another and smiled as they looked back for anymore people. They both spotted three men come around from the casino and in a few seconds they had both shot and killed them in seconds.
"OK let's get in there" Chris said placing the sniper rifle back into the bag on his back.
"Yep sound's like a good idea" Andria said as she followed Chris back down the steps of the lookout.
Chris motioned Andria to stop and she did as she was told. She looked on as Chris laid prone on the broken bridge and crawled out to the land mines. She looked on as he worked on the mines and finally got them both defused. She looked on to him as he stood up holding the mines in his hands. He smiled as he turned her around and placed the mines into her pack.
"Don't get shot in the back" he said with a chuckle as he closed her sack.
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind" she said rolling her eyes as she turned and looked at Chris.
He smiled as they walked back across the bridge into the town. Chris held both the .357 and 9mm as he led the way into the town. Andria held onto her caravan shotgun as she followed him through the town. They walked towards the casino first and came around to look at the door. Chris motioned for Andria to open the door while her trained both of the pistols on the doors. She looked back at him and he nodded to her signaling he was ready. Andria pulled the door open so Chris was ready for anything to come out.
He looked as an older man and three other people stepped out and their guns were pointed at Chris. Knowing he was out gunned so he turned his pistols on their sides and pointed them up in the air. He looked over to Andria and nodded to her as he holstered his guns. She walked around slowly to join him as she placed the gun back into her sack. The older man looked at them as he flagged them to join him and the rest of the citizens inside of the casino.
"How did y'all make it past those cons outside?" He asked looking at them both.
"A little bit of sharp shooting" Chris said as he took his hat off and ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'm Johnson Nash and you two" the man said looking at them both.
"I'm Abigail Hunter and this is Chris Walker, were looking for a man in a checkered suit, has he been through here?" Andria asked looking at him.
"I'm not sure Deputy Beagle would know but they have him inside of the motel" Johnson said looking to her.
"I'll go get him, you find out what you can about your package" Chris said standing up as he placed his hat on.
"Now son, there is a lot of men in there…" Nash started but Chris cut him off.
"I'll be just fine" was all he said as he grabbed the caravan shogun and some ammo from Andria.
He looked into her eyes and smiled at her as he walked out of the casino. He closed the door and opened the break action shotgun. The shells shot out and he caught them quickly and looked at them. He saw they were slugs which caused him to check all of the ammo he had snagged from Andria. He saw most of them were buckshot but he had about six slugs. He smiled as he loaded the slugs back into the shotgun and walked towards the motel. He placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it as he walked up to the motel. He placed it in the corner of his mouth as he placed the gun to his shoulder as he opened the door.
He looked around and saw nothing moving around the room so he walked forward slowly. He looked down the barrel as he moved over the front desk and walked forward through the doorway. He looked down the hall and saw two men standing at the end of the hall talking. He quickly darted over to a gift shop and listened as the men talked about seeing something. Chris cussed softly as he hid behind the counter and looked to see a safe on the floor. He had enough time to pick the lock and looked to see come caps, a switch blade knife, and another .357 with the name 'Lucky' etched into the handle.
"Check in there" one of the men said to the other.
Chris pressed the button on the switchblade and watched the blade come out. He listened as the man walked in and stopped on the of the other side of the counter. Chris looked and realized his cigarette was still in his mouth. He rolled his eyes as the man started sniffing the air. He stood up and grabbed the man by his shirt as he stabbed the knife into the man's throat. The man struggled and tried to yell for help but the knife had severed his vocal cords. Chris twisted the knife digging it deeper into the man's throat sending blood gushing down his hand.
"Hey what the hell are…" the second man said as he walked into the room.
Chris quickly pulled out the 9mm and shot the man in the head. He placed the pistol to the man's head in front of him and finished him off. He looked as the man slumped to the ground on the other side of the counter. Chris heard people yelling from another room and they were coming towards where he was at. He holstered the 9mm and took the caravan shotgun out of his sack and pointed it at the doorway. Just as he looked down the sights two men came into view. He quickly fired both shots at the same time sending both men reeling to the ground.
He walked around the counter and as he did he reloaded the shotgun. He took a step out of the doorway and just as he did a fireball shot by his head and slammed into the wall to his right. He quickly looked to his left and saw a man walking towards him with an incinerator in hand. He ducked back into the room he just walked out of as three more fireballs shot by him. "Of course one of these fuckers has to have a heavy weapon" he said with a sigh as he placed the shotgun back into his sack. He pulled out both of his .357 and waited.
The sound of the man starting to reload was all he to her for him to make his move. He stepped out of cover and looked to the man as he glanced up at him. Chris raised the pistol and fired a shot but he didn't aim for the man's head. Instead he fired a shot catching the man's tank causing it explode. He smiled as he watched the flames descend slow back to the ground. He walked forward into the room that the three men ad just came out of to see a lone man waiting for him. The man snapped his gun up at him and opened fire with his varmint rifle.
Chris returned fire as he ducked back behind cover of the door frame. He waited for the man to reload before he moved. As soon as the man started to reload he stepped from cover and fired a lone shot. The bullet caught the man just above his eyes sending blood flying behind him. Chris watched as the man fell to the ground dead. He walked forward slowly looking around for any possible threat in the room. He glanced into a kitchen area and saw the dome of a blonde haired man behind a counter. He walked into the room with his gun raised up and pointed at the man who was behind the counter.
"Hello there" the man said and Chris could see the man was tied up.
"You must be Beagle" Chris said as he holstered his pistol.
"And you would be correct, might I inquire your name" Beagle said looking at him.
"Chris, I need some information about the man in a checkered suit who came through here with some Khans" Chris said as he looked down to the man.
"My memory is a little blank, maybe if you were to cut me loose I might remember.
"Maybe I'll just put a bullet in your head and pick your body clean how does that sound" Chris said pulling his 9mm out and placing it to Beagle's head.
"WHOA, WOAH…my memory seems to have come back to me" Beagle said as he tried to pull his head away from the barrel of the gun.
"That's more like it" Chris said putting the gun away.
"They said they are heading to a town called Novac, that's all I have gotten I swear" Beagle said looking at Chris.
Chris smiled and pulled out his knife and cut Beagle's hands free and looked as Beagle stood up. He nodded to the deputy and watched as the man left the building. Chris looked around and saw a bottle of whiskey sitting on a counter near him. He reached over and grabbed the bottle, as he did he opened the bottle and took a drink of the warm liquid. He sat the bottle back down and turned and left the building and as he did he looked to see Andria walking towards him. He smiled as she suddenly threw her arms around him.
"Let's get on the road towards Nipton and then to Novac" Chris said looking at her.
"Well let's get going" she said with a smile.
Andria walked a few paces behind Chris as he led the way down the road. She looked out across a salt flat to see giant ants walking across it. The wind blew by kicking sand up into the air and as it did it covered the ants. She looked down to Dogmeat who brushed up against. She smiled at the feel of the fur against her hand. Chris glanced back to see her stroking the dog. She looked back to him and smiled as they made their way past an old police station.
The sun was setting and they were both tired of walking. Andria pointed out an old gas station with a small connivance store near it. They walked into the store that was darkened showing that no one had been there for a very long time. Chris blocked the door with a cabinet and looked back to see Abigail sitting on the counter. He walked back over and yawned as he walked through the building and joined her over at the counter.
"Hungry?" She asked looking at him.
"Yes, and there is plenty of food in here that we don't need to build a fire" he said as he took a seat next to his dog.
Andria began to move around the building picking up food for them to eat for dinner. She found a few cans of cram and Blanco Mac and Cheese. She brought them back to where he was sitting at carrying the food. She had enough for all three of them to eat. After they were done Chris reached into his pack and pulled out a bottle of whisky to which he opened. He took a swig of it and then poured a cup of it and sat it down next to Dogmeat. He looked over to Andria and offered it to her but she refused so he took another drink of it.
Andria looked at Chris as he looked back at her lazily as he sat across from her. Slowly she closed the gap between the two of them and as she did his eyes opened fully to look at her. She reached forward and gently stroked the side of his face and as she did she moved herself closer to him. He knew what she was about to do and slowly he turned his head away from her. She pulled back and looked at him as he got up and walked out of the store. Andria looked over to Dogmeat who just looked back at her and whined a little bit.
"Is he always like this?" she asked looking to Dogmeat.

Chris stood outside smoking a cigarette and looking up to the stars. He rubbed his hands through his hair and breathed out a sigh as he began to think about Sarah. Two years did little to nothing to take her off of his mind. She still managed to invade his dreams and thoughts. He took a drag on his smoke and breathed the smoke out of his nose as he tipped his head down.
"Who was she?" Andria asked from behind him.
"Sarah" he said softly as he glanced back to her.
"Was she your girlfriend?" she asked walking up next to him.
"No, but close enough, I did love her and she loved me. The one thing that stood in our way was her father. Even though I saved the city, he didn't think I was good enough to be with his daughter. If I had started being with her I doubt I would have left DC." He said as he flicked away his finished cigarette.
"Well for what its worth, I am glad you left. If you had stayed, I would still be in that ditch" she said with a smile looking at him.
He smiled and they both walked back into store where they slept near one another. Chris kept his 3.57 next to himself as he slept just incase of any unwanted visitors through the night. When the sun rose in the morning he woke up to see Andria had rolled around in her sleep. Her right arm was draped across his chest while her head was rested on his right shoulder. He smiled as he thought about waking up one time with Sarah like this. He looked over to see Dogmeat laying on his back snoring loudly. When he saw this he chuckled lightly and that woke Andria up. She looked over to see where she was and she quickly pulled away from him with a bright blushing face. He just smiled as he got dressed and woke Dogmeat. After a light breakfast they set out to go towards Nipton.
They walked down the road and on each side of the road was more salt flats around them. Andria and Chris had a small skirmish with some jackal gang members who had set up shot in some ruins. As they walked they saw a man come running at them and he was cheering. He stopped and looked at Chris and Andria who were in front of him.
"YEAHI FUCKING WON" he cheered out in a loud voice.
"What did you win?" Andria asked looking at him.
"THE LOTTERY, THE FUCKING LOTTERY" he bellowed again.
"Lottery?" Chris asked with a raised eyebrow. "What are you a Powder Ganger?"
"I used to be but now I'm a winner see y'all" He said running past them.
Chris breathed out a sigh and quickly spun around and fired a shot with his .357 shooting the man in the back. He turned and looked to Andria who looked at him with mouth agape. "Powder Gangers need to die" he said as he walked forward. They stopped and looked at the black smoke raising from the town as wall as flames lighting the buildings up in the early morning light. There were charred skeletons laying in the flames as well as dismembered head on spikes. They looked at flags waving in the wind to see they were red with a yellow colored bull in the middle.
"Must have been a hell of a party?" Andria said looking around at everything before her.
