Around 2:00 PM, Ella finally woke up feeling much better. She walked to the living room of the building they were hiding in and saw Adam asleep on a couch and Dylan still awake watching the door sitting on a chair with his Combat Shotgun across his lap. Ella went over to Adam, who had his glasses on a table next to him and had his hat on his face, and woke him up. When he did he put his hat on and the shadow from his hat blocked his eyes. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better." Adam said. Ella smiled and walked to Dylan. Adam put his glasses on and grabbed his Assault Rifle.
"Good," Dylan said standing up, "We can get moving now."
"And not a moment too soon." Ella said.
"Alright," Adam said looking at his Pip-boy, "We're right here. And Rivet City should be another 3 miles down the river. So we can make it by 4:00 PM." Everyone nodded and they left the building. They were walking down the river with Adam in front, Ella walking behind them, and Dylan walking near the Brahmin. Then, a man wearing the same coat as Adam came up to the caravan with a Laser Rifle strapped to his back. Adam walked up to the man and said, "Regulate."
"We have a new contract." The Regulator said to Adam as he pulled out a list of people.
Adam got a look at the list and read what it said:
Junders Plunket: 1,000 caps
John DuGuard: 2,000 caps
"Don't worry," Adam said, "I'll bring these men to justice."
"Be careful," The Regulator said, "These men are tough. Since they have a big bounty."
"Alright then. Tell Sorona I'll get right on it." Adam said. Then the Regulator nodded and went on his way. Ella got a look at the small list and noticed John DuGuard on the list.
"Isn't that your brother?" Ella asked.
"Yeah. He's the Scourge of Humanity." Dylan said.
"We'll get these people later. Right now, we need to get to Rivet City to meet your dad Ella." Adam said putting the list in his coat pocket.
"Your right!" Ella said remembering why they were going to Rivet City in the first place. Then the group started to walk again. Ella was looking at her surroundings and saw the ruined buildings and the dust everywhere. That bomb did a number on these buildings Ella thought I wonder how all these people survived… Just then, Adam held up his hand to signal everyone to stop. "What's up?" Dylan said. "Super Mutants." Adam said going over to the Brahmin and pulling out the Sniper Rifle. He walked up to a pile of ruble and looked through the scope.
"What are Super Mutants?" Ella asked.
"You'll have to see for yourself. It's hard to explain." Dylan said pulling out his Shotgun.
"Looks like they got someone," Adam said, "We have to save them."
"They'll slow us down." Dylan said.
"Do you know what these Mutants do to captives?" Adam said.
"They kill them or drag them off to who-knows-where."
"Exactly. We can't let that happen to someone like him or her. So let's go kick some ass."
Everyone agreed. "Okay," Ella said, "I have a plan." But before she could say what it was, Adam was charging into the Super Mutant camp like a madman, screaming and firing his gun. "Or not." Ella said running in after him. Dylan shrugged his shoulders and charged in as well. The Super Mutants turned around to the group and started to fire on them. Adam fired his Assault Rifle and it killed one of the Super Mutants. Dylan pulled out a grenade and threw it at a Super Mutant, but it didn't kill it. Ella fired her Hunting Rifle at a Super Mutant, but it ricochet off the Super Mutants armor and hit the ground. Then a Super Mutant swung a Sledge Hammer at Dylan and it almost hit him in the face, but Dylan ducked and shot the Super Mutant in the leg with his Shotgun, almost blowing it off. Adam then shot the same Super Mutant that Dylan was fighting in the head with his Rifle and the Super Mutant collapsed. Then there were two Super Mutants left. Adam then knocked a Super Mutant down with his body and held the mutant down with his leg and fired repeatedly into the Mutants head. Then, the Mutants head exploded and blood got all over Adams clothes. Then a super Mutant was running behind Adam trying to kill him, but Ella shot the Mutant in the head, killing him instantly. Adam turned around and saw Ella holding up her Rifle smiling. Adam gave her a thumbs-up and started to go through the Super Mutants bodies. Dylan went to see the Captive and saw that he was all right.
"Adam. He's still alright." Dylan said.
"That's good to hear." Adam said picking up a clip with 5.56 bullets.
"Here," Ella said giving Adam a bottle of Water, "It'll wash off the blood."
Adam looked at his blood-soaked clothes. "Thanks." He said taking the bottle. Adam took off his coat and laid it on the ground and poured the water on it and the blood came off.
Once the blood was cleaned off, Adam put his coat back on and the Vault Dweller and the Regulator went over to the Captive. The Captive was wearing a brown coat that had a lot of pockets on it, white pants, brown boots, and wore big brown gloves. He had black hair that covered his forehead and brown eyes.
"Hey," Dylan said to the Captive, "You All right?"
"Yeah," The Captive replied, "I'll be okay. Thanks for your help. I got some things for you."
"No," Adam said, "you'll need them more then us."
"Your Right. Thanks again." The Captive said running off.
"Who was that?" Ella asked.
"John DuGuard." Adam said.
"What? Aren't you supposed to go after him?" Ella said shocked.
"Yes I'm suppose to, but I'm not. He's my brother. I just can't kill my brother."
"Where are your parents by the way?"
"They live in the Common Wealth."
Then Ella left it at that and the group walked on.
The Group continued their Journey to Rivet City. Dylan was walking with a lit cigarette in his mouth while Adam was drinking a bottle of Whiskey. Ella was watching Adam drink. How can a guy like that be a good guy? Ella thought I mean, he drinks, he's an asshole, but then again, he does have a good heart, and has some rugged features that other women would find attractive. Wait? Did I just think that? Ella shook her head to get what she just thought out of her head. Then Dylan pointed to the horizon and saw a big-beached Carrier. " We made it to Rivet City." Dylan said. Ella got so excited that she ran ahead of them. "Wait up Ella." Adam said running behind her. Dylan walked there so he wouldn't waste any of his energy. When they got there, Ella was standing there looking at the ship.
"There's no bridge. How do we get over there?" Ella said.
"Leave that to me." Dylan said. Then he walked over to an Intercom next to the bridge. "Hey it's Dylan," The Trader said, "Let me over."
"Alright then. We're extending the bridge right now." A man over the Intercom said.
Then the bridge extended over to them.
"All right now," Dylan said, "Since Michael died on this Journey, the both of you will get his cut." He then handed Adam and Ella 300 bottle caps.
The two of them thanked Dylan and the three of them walked into Rivet City.
Side note: There you have it, the 3rd chapter. Sorry it took so long. I had to get a clean shave.
