Lounging on the bench by motel room, Passing time away just watching the clouds.

I was taking "in my opinion" a well deserved break.

I'd just gotten back from the underground spy bunker and having narrowly escaped from the heavily radiated double cross I figured it was time to sit back, relax and spend a few days just taking it easy.

Which is why I was out front of my little motel room with my new backwater rifle taking potshots at any vicious dogs who happen to wonder by. Damn things kept trying to reclaim the area but I was stubbornly refusing to give up my claim. Actually it had been a few hours since any had wandered by and I was starting to get a little bored, not to mention my recon armor was starting to chaff. Briefly I wondered if I'd be able to convince Madam Panada to repair the minor damage it had sustained as I wandered the swampland before discarding the idea. I may have currently been swimming in ammo but something about that woman just plain creeped me out. So much so I hadn't once made any of my customary pickup lines.

Sighing slightly and feeling more then a little unmotivated, I forced myself to my feet and decided to try once again to pick the locks on the rest of the motel rooms. Earlier that day I had spent an hour working the latch on room 1g, one of the only other rooms that hadn't long since been boarded up. It took a while but eventually the lock had given and granted me access. I don't know what I had expected to find but a butt load of pre-war cash was a pleasant surprise. From the looks of the skeletons laying around it seemed like they had had a bit of an argument on ownership rights and had settled the matter with bullets rather then diplomacy. In the end though, looks like neither were able to stop me from claiming the spoils.

There was still that one room around back though, that had stubbornly refused to give. I had given it up for a lost cause but after finding all the loot from neighbors I figured one more shot couldn't hurt. Third times the charm after all. Who knows what kind of goodies lay beyond the door of motel room 1k?
