Chapter 25 The Raid of the Common House

2:01 AM...
Four Dog was chowing on the noodles he had gotten from the LW's fridge when he heard muffled screams from the room where Bombshell was locked in. Just then Four Dog realized that he had forgotten to let Bombshell go. He ran upstairs where the locked Bombshell was and opened the door and released him. Then Four Dog explained the situation to Bombshell.

Bombshell then took off to the common house.

1:50 AM...
Apathy busted the door to the common house open and walked inside. He locked the door behind him. All the wastelanders who had been sleeping on the first floor woke up.

"What the fuck man...trying to get some sleep..." One wastelander said.

"All of you will be getting plenty of sleep underground in a unmarked grave if someone doesn't tell me about someone who had killed a super mutant named Fawkes." Apathy said, holding a nailboard threatingly. "He came back around oneish...did anyone see him?" Apathy asked.

"Uh...no." One wastelander said.

"Even if we did...we wouldn't tell you who is disturbing us while we're trying to sleep and shit." Another wastelander said.

"Uh...I don't think hes going to take no for an answer...git em." The third wastelander said.

The two wastelanders jumped up and tried to take Apathy down. Apathy hit one in the stomach with the wooden side of the board. He fell to the ground clutching his stomach in pain. Apathy then hit the other wastelander's legs which knocked him down instantly.

Another person got up from one of the beds. Apathy didn't let him get the chance to start the fight and hit him in the back with the wooden side of the nail board. He hit the ground crying and yelling. Apathy thought that his voice sounded familiar.

"WHAT THE HELL APATHY?!? I THOUGHT WE WE'RE FRIENDS!" The man screamed.

"Oh shit, Larry!" Apathy said bending down to help Larry up.

"Why'd you hit me? All I did was stand up..." Larry said crying.

"I thought you were another wastelander." Apathy said. "And now...as for you..." Apathy said looking at the third wastelander who was cowering in his bed.

"HES ON THE THIRD FLOOR! Please don't kill me..." The third wastelander immediately cried out.

"Theres always a weak one." Apathy said smiling.

"You still haven't told me why you're raiding the common house." Larry said.

"You didn't ask." Apathy said.

"Well...okay...why are you raiding the common house?" Larry asked.

"Well because the killer of Fawkes is hiding in here." Apathy said.

"Woah. Fawkes is dead? I talked to him before he left the common house." Larry said shocked.

"Well yeah hes dead. I don't have time to talk anymore..." Apathy said as he walked up the stairs.

"Apathy!" Larry yelled.

"What." Apathy replied.

"You want some help?" Larry asked.

"...Eh sure. Why not?" Apathy said.

Apathy and Larry walked up to the second floor. The common house's second floor had beds scattered around. Each bed was filled by another wastelander. There was a bedroom that most wastelanders fought for. The bedroom's door opened and a yawning Jennifer walked out of it.

"Huh...Apathy?" Jennifer who was half-awake said.

"Sigh...going to kill someone. Don't have time to explain. If you want to help then follow us. If not go back to sleep." Apathy said walking up the stairs to the third floor already.

"The third floor was cluttered. The one bed that was on the third floor was taken. The man was snoring heavily. Apathy grabbed him and threw him against the table that was behind the stairway. The man fell to the floor after hitting the table.

"How...how did you know...?" The man asked.

"A little birdy told me..." Apathy said swinging the nail board at him. However the nail board suddenly stopped before it came in contact with the man's face. Apathy looked behind him.

It was a enclave soldier however he was almost the size of Fawkes. He had grabbed the nail board. He threw it to the other side of the room.

"Ah. Thank you Wrath..." The man said getting up.

"No problem." Wrath said while picking up Apathy like he was a toy and slamming him against the wall. Fawkes' killer nodded to Wrath and proceeded to go downstairs.

The man came running back up as if he saw hell itself.

"WRATH! HELP!" The man cried running behind Wrath.

The LW walked up the stairs and looked at Wrath and the man who killed Fawkes. Jericho came up the stairs after the LW. And so did Larry, and Jennifer. However Jennifer just watched as she thought she had no part in this.

"Let. Him. Down. Now." The LW said angrilly.

"The demon is here...and so is his companions...so...why do I enjoy this pleasure?" The man asked. Just then Bombshell walked up the stairs.

"Bombshell...? We...were told about what you did...you tried to save Fawkes. Even though you did try to blow me up in a monument...I want to kill this fucker more now. So...I have to ask you. What side are you on? Ours, or the Enclave's?" The LW said.

"The Enclave...is worth nothing to me now. You know...I would of stuck around with them...if they could have at least tried to trust one of their top soldiers...right now...I feel like saying something that I'm sure all of you have said before..." Bombshell talked.

The man who murdered Fawkes looked at Bombshell.

"...Fuck the Enclave." Bombshell said looking straight back at Fawkes' killer.

"Well ain't this fucking hilarious huh guy?" The LW said looking at the killer of Fawkes.

"How so?" He asked.

"Well...how many Enclave soldiers that have betrayed the Enclave and joined the winning team does that make now?" The LW asked. "Now...you should just confess to our friend's murder..." The LW said changing the topic.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." The man replied.

"Don't play retarded fuckface." Jericho said with his combat shotgun in his hands.

"So I guess you must be here on the note of your friend...what was his name? Fawkes was it?" The man asked. Apathy was turning blue in the background as Wrath was still holding him to the wall by his neck and he had a tight grip.

"You are going to die. And trust me...its going to be slow...and drawn out...as possible..." The LW said holding onto something that was halfway in his bag and halfway out of his bag.

"Heh...is that so?" The man laughed. Just then Apathy had grabbed Wrath's hand and broke it. Wrath screamed in pain. Apathy fell to the floor as Wrath was distracted.

"Ugh...if he had held on any longer...I would have suffocated..." Apathy said breathing heavily. Jericho gunbucked Wrath and the LW pulled out what he was holding. The LW had pulled out his shocksword that he had gotten a while ago from completing a simulation for some outcasts to get some high-tec gear.

He cut Wrath in half with the shocksword. Fawkes' killer tried to run back down the stairs. However Larry was blocking the stairs and he punched the man so hard he went flying back.

"I may not be good with guns...but I am with my fists..." Larry said laughing.

Fawkes' killer was trying to get back up but he couldn't due to Jericho kicking him in the face right after he was punched by Larry.

"Alright...everyone...take a limb of this asshole. We're taking him back to the house...to think about how we're going to kill him..." The LW said.
