Nora and I decided to leave both dogs in the care of Jane and John, since they were going to make base at Sanctuary I thought it was for the best. A few hours later, still in the afternoon, we arrived at Diamond City, in hopes of looking for some help. The gate was closed and took some persuasion to open it, but eventually we lied about wanting to trade and they opened it. Once we entered, a kid, gave us an article about the increase kidnappings, gave we. I told Nora discreetly to investigate what the reporter knew about this while I went to talk with Nick Valentine. As I went to Nick's office, I had this strange feeling that everyone was looking at me, but, not the usual way. I entered Nick's office and he was there with a woman, probably his secretary.
- Nick Valentine, the Synth Detective? – I asked when I opened the door.
- Yes, and to who am I speaking too? – said Nick averting his eyes from the paperwork.
- No need to know me, we can talk about Nathan – I sat on the chair in front of him.
- Nathan? What Nathan? – asked Nick looking at me with a suspicious look that a Synth can give.
- You know what Nathan, the man who's in charge of the Institute now – Nick put his hand in front of my mouth.
- Quiet, don't speak so loud – he then pointed to the door, which his secretary closed it for him.
- Sorry, but you might want to lower your voice – said Nick lowering his – we can't be heard now.
- Oh? Why is that?
- Because I think he got to all of the Diamond City, most likely me and my secretary are the only ones that aren't a Synth. Well, an Institute Synth.
- Wait, do you mean – then it came to me – shit Nora, she went to the newspaper reporter.
- Newspaper reporter? Piper is all right, she doesn't let herself get caught. But did you just say Nora? Nathan's wife?
- It's a long story, anyway, I need to know, do you know how Nathan first came in contact with the Institute?
- Well, that's a long story, for what I know is – he was interrupted by his secretary.
- Nick, you better ear the radio – she sounded worried and afraid.
- What is it? – I put on the only radio frequency that I had and it was Diamond City.
The host was speaking about intruders speaking with Nick and Piper, and were to be brought to the center of the city and be executed.
- Crap, he knows that I am here – I stood up and grabbed my weapon – I need to get Nora out of here.
- We are going too, it's not safe anymore for any of us – said Nick grabbing a handgun.
- I'll take point, Nick you got my back, and your secretary goes in the middle so she isn't caught – I approached the door.
I heard footsteps coming close, so I opened the door and quickly shot at the direction of the footsteps and froze one person. The others behind started shooting at me so I went back. Nick barricaded the door.
- Any escape plans? – I asked Nick.
- No escape tunnels at least.
- How about the roofs?
- Might not be a bad idea, follow me – we followed upstairs and went out the window to the roofs.
As we sneaked throw the roofs, we saw a crowed at the house that Nora went, that means they haven't got her. I told Nick to hide as I jumped around looking for a way inside without getting noticed. As I was trying to figure out a way inside, I saw a weapon shop totally unguarded because of the mass confusion, and in my head the "777" appeared. I sneaked inside and there was only a deactivated robot, so It was time for some fuckery too.
I quickly accessed the Mr. Handy main frame and plugged in my Pip-Boy, lucky that I updated it one time for hacking inside of an old Vault-Tec facility in NY. Few seconds later I had fully access to it, and was now at my disposal. I ordered him to follow me and I gathered weapons and armor to face the mob.
