Chapter Six

New Found Feelings

Chris limped through Freeside with Andria helping him. She helped him until they came around the corner to see three men walking up to them. At first they didn't think much of the men until they blocked their path. Chris looked at them and then to Andria who was looking at them. They all gripped baseball bats and smirked at them, they seemed to glare at Andria as she stood there. Chris saw them eyeing Andria hungrily and by seeing them do this his Chris felt his anger rise. He looked as the first one as he started moving towards them.

Suddenly Chris felt Andria reach to the back of his jeans and grip a hold of his .45. She snapped it up and fired off two shots into one of the men's chest. He fell backwards and the other two started to back up but she quickly fired a shot catching the one on the far left in the head. The last one turned and tried to run but she leveled the sights on his back and she fired the gun quickly. The bullet ripped through the man's back in-between his shoulder blades. She lowered the pistol and looked back to Chris who was in a state of shock after seeing this.

"I see you have been paying attention" he said taking the pistol from her.

"Yeah, well seeing you almost die back in Boulder City didn't sit well with me" She said looking at him.

He smiled weakly as he began to cough. His coughing fit caused him to fall to his knees. She ran to his side and looked at him as his coughing stopped. She looked at his face to see it was pale and his eyes were sunken. She moved him over against a wall and un wrapped the bandages on his leg. As soon as she did she smelled a foul smell as she looked at the gashes. She pressed on one and looked as blood and puss dripped out of the wound. She knew what was wrong with him, he had the starts of blood poisoning. She looked up as two kids ran by them playing some type of game.

"Hey kids, kids" she called at them making them stop and look at her. "Where is there a hospital at?" she asked looking at them.

"The old Mormon Fort, right over there" the boy said looking at them.

She glanced to where he was pointing and she looked at the walls of a fort. She nodded to him and thanked him as she helped Chris back to his feet. She focused on the fort, she needed to get him to a doctor. She didn't want him to die from some sickness. "Hold on Chris, please just hold on" she pleaded as they moved towards the fort.

"You do care" he said with a weak chuckle.

"Yes…I do very much" she said in a strained tone as he began to cough more. She pounded on the door to the fort and watched as some one opened it up for them. Once the person saw Chris they quickly ushered them in. Two Doctors quickly came over to them and took Chris over to an operating tent. Andria followed and looked at him as he weakly looked over to her.

"Thank you Andria, I need you to do something for me" He said reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a key ring and removed one off of it and handed it to her. After doing this he took out his pouch of caps and handed it to her. "Go to the strip and find Three Dog, tell him there is someone in Freeside who wants to see him…" he started but stopped as the doctors injected Med-X into his neck. "Be careful…I love you" he finished before he passed out.

She looked at him in shock at what he just said to her. She felt as a doctor pulled her back from the tent as they pulled a curtain close. She didn't know if it was the drugs talking for him or was it real. She backed up and walked away out of the fort. She looked at the key in her hand and stuffed it into her pocket. She walked forward adjusting the sling on her varmint rifle. She looked at her leather armor and saw there was some tears in it. She needed to buy some new clothes but before that she needed to get on the strip. She passed a bar where some men dressed in leather coats looked her up and down. She ignored them and kept walking towards the gate where eight secuetrons waited. She watched as a man tried to run through them to the gate. He made it five yards past the first one before all turned their guns on him and opened fire. She gasped at seeing them instantly cut him down without telling him to 'Stop'.

She stopped and calmed down as she walked to the gate. She stopped as all of the robots trained their guns on her. She looked as the lead robot rolled up to her with at least one gun on her.

"Halt citizen present passport or present caps for credit check" the robots voice said to her.

"Um, how much do I need for a credit check?" she asked looking at the robot.

"Two thousand caps" The robot replied looking at her.

Andria reached into her pocket and pulled out the pouch of cap that Chris had given her. "I don't know how much is in here but here you go" she said presenting the bag of caps to the securetron. She watched as it scanned the bag of caps in her hand.

"I'm sorry there is not enough caps here to grant you entrance into New Vegas" The robot said looking at her.

"Well, you are about four hundred caps short of proper credit" the robot replied.

She looked at it and nodded before turning away and walking away. As she walked her mind wondered on how to get the four hundred caps she needed. She thought about going hunting like Chris would but she pushed it away because she doesn't know that much about hunting. She glanced over to the Kings again and again she walked through the bus that was blocking the road. When she came through it she heard some boy next to the bus talking about a shop named Mike and Ralph's. She got directions to the store and walked back across Freeside. She walked up to the store and walked in to see two men sitting in the shop. One was in the back of the shop working at a reloading press. The other sat behind the counter looking at her as she looked back at him.

"Can I help you?" He asked looking at her.

"Are you Mike?" she asked looking at him.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" he asked looking at her.

"I hear you make fake passports to get onto the strip" she said in a low tone looking at him as she placed her hands on the counter.

"Yeah, but anything like that has to go through the King first. He takes care of us here in Freeside" He said looking back up at her.

Andria let out a sigh as she lowered her head as she thought about Chris. Slowly she looked back up at hem. "Look, I don't have time to go to someone to get permission for a passport. Someone I care about very much is knocking on death's door. He asked me to find someone on the strip and on top of that someone who tried to kill me is in there. I need to get in please" she pleaded looking into Mike's eyes.

He looked at her and glanced back to Ralph who had been listening to the whole conversation. His brother nodded at him before he turned back to Andria. "Ok, it will coast a thousand caps" he said looking at her.

Andria nodded and paid him the caps he needed as well as giving him the information about her. She then was told to come back tomorrow to get it so she left and looked at the six hundred caps she had left. After everything that had happened in the past few days she needed a drink. She walked down the road and as she did she stopped when she saw three children who looked hungry chasing a giant rat. She looked as one of the children swung a bat at it but missed. The rat turned and ran back and the children chased it. She felt bad for them as they cased the rat do she took the varmint rifle off of her back and looked through the scope. She led the rat with the crosshairs just in front of its nose. She fired a shot and watched as the rat rolled over and died. She looked as the children stopped and looked at her and they thanked her.

She smiled as she walked back to the fort, yes she needed a drink but she would get one out of Chris' bag. She walked through the door and looked to see the doctors were done with him. She was stopped by a doctor who told her he would be out for a few days. She walked into the tent to see Dogmeat laying on the bed next to Chris. The dog's head was laying across his chest and the both were sound asleep. She sat down in the chair next to the bed and looked at Chris as he slept soundly. She reached into his bag and pulled out his bottle of whiskey. She opened it up and took a swig of it and coughed a bit from the burn of the whiskey.

She sat the bottle back into the bag and looked down at her clothes. She needed to change so she reached into the bag and found herself a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a duster like Chris'. She closed the curtain to the tent and looked over at Chris who was still asleep. Dogmeat on the other hand was awake and looking at her.

"Do you mind?" she said with a smirk as she looked at him. She chuckled a bit when he let out a whine and placed his paw over his nose almost as it he was hiding his eyes.

She un zippered her leather armor and pulled it off and tossed it to the side. She looked at the shredded leather and then finally to her undergarments. They too were ripped up as well. She pulled off her top and then finally her underwear. She looked over her nude body and saw several bruises. She winced as she touched one that was just under her right breast. She let out a sigh as she pulled the shirt on over herself and then the jeans. She walked over to Chris' bag and reached in and grabbed some string and tied her hair up. She stopped when she saw something gleaming in the fading light. It was sitting in the bag and very faded in color and she knew it was a picture.

She reached in and took out the picture and looked it over. It was of a man in his mid thirties with his arm around a boy of about ten. The man looked almost just like Chris except older. She saw the vault suit on both of them and it had the number 101 on them. The boy held onto a bb gun as he stood next to the man. She turned it over and looked to see written on the back James and Chris on Chris's tenth birthday. Her jaw went slack a bit as she turned the picture back over. This was Chris and his father who had died to protect Chris back in the Capitol Wasteland. She looked at the picture before setting it on the table next to him. She took a seat next to him and looked at him, she could feel herself getting tired. She reached over and took his hand in hers before she fell asleep.

Explosions shot up around Chris as he dropped behind the skeleton of a car. He reloaded his assault rifle and looked as Liberty Prime stomped down the bridge. Chris looked as some Enclave soldiers broke cover. His eyes showed his hatred as he stood up and placed the but of his assault rifle to his shoulder. He felt the recoil of the gun as the bullets slammed into them cutting them down. He quickly dropped back down as some plasma bolts flew by him.

He heard a yelling sound and looked as Fawkes came walking up firing his Gatling laser. Chris looked back further to see the Brotherhood charging up the bridge. A dogfight broke out overhead between Vettabirds of the Enclave and Brotherhood. Chris stood up and charged down the bridge into the city. He wanted to get to the Purifier, Autumn was there and he wanted his head.

Gunfire hit at his feet causing him to jump to the corner of a building for cover. He poked his head out and quickly pulled back as a missile flew by him. He turned his head to the left so that his face wouldn't get burned by the vapor trail. He glanced back and looked as the missile slammed into a car killing two soldiers. He had see the man who had fired the missile. He took off his sniper rifle from his shoulder and cocked the action of the gun. He breathed three quick breaths before stepping out of cover with the gun to his shoulder.

Looking through the crosshairs he saw the man with the missile launcher. He fired the shot and watched as the high caliber bullet cut the man's head in half. The mans nerves fired one last time causing the missile launcher to fire. The missile streaked through the air and slammed into a car causing it to explode, killing three Enclave soldiers. He slung his rifle over his shoulder and grabbed his assault rifle and combat shotgun. He gripped one in each hand he jumped from cover and ran forward towards the Enclave soldiers.

He let out a thunderous roar one full of pain, vengeance, anger, and hatred. He jumped up onto a car and opened fire on some Enclave troops who were using it for cover. His eyes grew darker as he stared down at the dead soldiers. He raised the gun shotgun up and fired it on a running man as he jumped off of the car. He was out for vengeance. He ran up to a man who wasn't focused on him. Raising the shotgun up he placed it to the back of his head and fired a shot causing the man's head to disappear in a pink cloud. He turned as an explosion went off sending him into another car slamming his head off of the side of it. Blood dripped off of the side of his head and slowly stood up and looked towards the bridge. The Purifier was on the other side of it and Liberty Prime was crashing through the final barrier to the Purifier.

He shook his head a bit as he staggered to his feet clutching his assault rifle. He picked up his shotgun and put it back over his shoulder and walked forward. He crossed the bridge with Sarah and Fawkes right behind him. As he walked he saw flashes of his father locking himself in the Purifier.

"Chris run…I love you son" he heard his father say to him in his mind.

He walked up to the door and kicked it open and looked to see the empty hall before him. He kept his gun up as he slowly walked down the hallway and looked back to see Sarah and Fawkes behind him. He led the way and felt as the blood rolled down the side of his head. He walked forward and the whole way to it door where his father died on the other side of it there wasn't a single soldier. He looked at the door and let out a roar as he kicked it open.

"You know yesterday when I woke up I didn't think I would have a woman knocking on my door that afternoon. When she told me you were here I found it hard to believe. Then she showed me a key that no one else in the world had but you, then I knew it was you" an all to familiar voice said as Chris opened his eyes a bit.

Chris groaned a bit as he reached up and rubbed his forehead a bit as he looked at Dogmeat who was laying next to him. He looked to the end of the bed and saw Andria standing there looking at him with a smile on her face. He saw the worry in her eyes as she looked at him and he smiled back. Finally he turned to his left and sitting in a char was a man he knew all to well.

"Hell Chris" the man said looking at him.

"Three Dog" Chris said as he weakly sat up growling in pain from his leg. He looked at the dark skinned man who still wore the bandana and sunglasses. He had the goatee and nothing about him had changed in the least. Chris swung his legs over the bed and looked down at his legs and then realized he was nude. He looked over to Andria who was laughing as he quickly covered himself up. She walked out of the tent closing it behind herself. Chris looked to Three Dog as he passed him a set of boxers as to which he put on and then stood up. "Why did you come out here?" Chris finally asked looking at him.

"I left like three weeks after you left I thought maybe there might be something out there for me. So I left the radio back home in the hands of someone very capable" Three Dog said looking up at him as he pulled his jeans up.

Chris glanced back at him and noticed the picture of him and his father. He lowered his head for a second before he walked over and grabbed his shirt. "How did Sarah take you leaving like I did?" Chris asked as he pulled his shirt over his head. When Three Dog didn't answer he turned and looked back at him. He saw him lower his head and then look back up at him. "Three Dog, what about Sarah?"

"Sarah died three days after you left" Three Dog said looking up at him.

Chris felt like he had just been stabbed in his gut with a knife. He staggered backwards and fell onto the bed in a sitting position. He looked over to Three Dog who was looking at him. Sarah was dead but then he remembered he had someone else he had Andrea. He slowly looked over to Three Dog who was looking at him. "What happened, how did she die?"

"She and a group of paladins were on patrol when they were ambushed by mutants and a behemoth. None survived" Three Dog said in a somber tone.

"Maybe I shouldn't have left" Chris said out loud.

"No, you made the right choice, this place needs your unique abilities" Three Dog said standing up.

"I've seen that…" he started looking up at Three Dog.

"Chris, you also got someone right outside the door who cares about you. She's in love with you…and I can tell you are in love with her" Three Dog said looking at him. He looked at Chris as he stood up and met his gaze. "Look when you get on the strip come find me, I'll have some work for you" Three Dog said walking out of the tent.

Chris looked at him as he left before Andria walked back in. He looked down at her as she met his gaze. He walked over and grabbed his duster and cowboy hat. He put them on and picked up his bag and made a soft whistle as to which Dogmeat jumped off the bed and followed him. He nodded to Andria and both of them walked outside and out of the fort. He glanced back at her and saw her looking at him as he limped along.

"Oh I got a place for us on the strip" Andria said to him.

"Where at?" He asked lighting up a cigarette.

"The Lucky 38" she replied to him.

He nodded and together they walked onto the strip. He stopped and looned around in shock at the small city. There were drunk people moving around hookers in front of a building. NCR troopers walked around one of them was waving the flag of the NCR. Chris looked as Andria walked forward and motioned him to follow her. He limped after her as they walked up the steps into the tall building. They walked in and she led him to the elevator. They rode it up and when they stopped he doors opened and they walked into the large penthouse. Chris looked around and watched as Dogmeat ran straight for the bed in front of them and bounded to it and landed in it.

Chris looked over to the left and walked forward towards another room and looked in. He saw a couch, an end table, two desk, a file cabinet, wardrobe, and finally a king sized bed. He called for Dogmeat who came running into his room and bounded onto the bed. He looked back to Andria who was standing in the doorway. "You can have the main room, I'll take this one" he said setting his sack and weapons down.

"Ok, you should rest up" Andria said looking at him.

"Tomorrow lets just relax and have a nice time here" Chris said looking at her.

"Sounds like a plan" she said with a smile as she blushed a bit.
