I know my grammar is crappy, sorry. I'm using Microsoft word. R and R, if you want.

Chapter 3

Grayditch,

Fucking Ants, and Feelings In Rivet City

Jinx's POV

I watch as Kaden talks to talks to the Wilks kid. I sigh not really caring. I might seem heartless, but the kid could go out on his own. He is old enough and hopefully smart enough to survive out there in the waste. Hell lots of kids have done it, if he can't make it, he can join Little Lamp Light or die. Either way I don't care…

"Don't worry, I will stop the ants," I hear Kaden tell the kid, in that caring voice of his.

"Great time to kill fire ants sounds like loads of fucking fun," I grumble and follow Kaden into the metro tunnels.

"You're grouchy as usually," Kaden tells me.

I just roll my eyes not in the mood for a lecture. I have worked for him for a week now and every thing I do he gives me a lecture. I try to smoke he lectures, I try to drink, he lectures saying I can kill myself drinking and smoking…It goes on and on. Fuck! But it's nice…

Kaden's POV

I wonder why she is always so damn angry. Really, can her life be that bad? I mean she left her group of riders and joined up with me. I pay her well, give her a bed to sleep in, food shelter, and try to keep her alive, by trying to keep her healthy. What the hell is her problem? How can some one that beautiful be so damn pissed…Great, I just admitted that to myself. I sigh and try not to worry or think about Jinx.

"Hmmm, where could that doctor be?" I ask and look at my pip boy.

"Well he's not in that fucking pip boy of yours," I hear Jinx grumble behind me.

"That's it!" I yell and push her against a wall; luckily, I catch her off guard.

"What the hell is your problem Jinx?" I yell in her face, hating to get mad at her, but I can't deal with her shit.

She just glares at me with her cold amber eyes. I glared back at her; trying to burn, a hole threw that fucking thick skull of her's. I can tell she is ready to kick my ass, but something stops her. Suddenly I am on my back with the wind knocked out of me, and Jinx pulls out her assault riffle and shoots at a fire ant worker. Before I can help her, she is putting out a small fire on her arm.

"Don't you fucking dare do that again!" Jinx yells at me and roughly helps me up.

I nod and keep my mouth shut until we reach Lesko's hide out. He tells us what he was trying to do, and how we can help him. I agree and tell him I will not kill the ant queen. As Jinx and I head down to the nursery, I hear Jinx mumble, "Fucking ants," I just keep my mouth shut for now. Maybe when I get the Ant Might and hopefully be stronger then Jinx.

Jinx's POV

Hmmm…Well we are in Rivet City now. Vera, the kid's aunt allowed us to stay at her hotel. Kaden is in the market buying some more equipment and looking for the history of the city, too me I can care less, as I sit here in the Muddy Rudder. Belle Bonny watches as I drink my third whiskey. I guess she is surprise that I am still sober and not singing off key like the guy next to me, who has only had a beer.

"I like that in a person," Bonny tells me grinning.

I just nod and take another drink. In truth, I can fell the liquor burning inside me, but I really don't care. Maybe I can get buzz and won't hear Kaden's bitching about me drinking. Bonny hands me another whiskey on the house. I grin and drink it quickly down as Kaden walks into the Rudder. He looks at me and shakes his head. I just roll my eyes.

"All I the info I found on Rivet City is that a guy named Bannon claimed to settle the city," Kaden tells me.

I just nod and look off into space. I hear Belle laugh at what Kaden told me, and he starts to talk to her. I watch the two and Belle wont say anything to Kaden. Kaden shakes his head and heads back to the hotel. I look at Belle and grin.

"Come on Belle, I know you know something about the history," I tell her in a killer soft voice.

She grins.

"I wonder when you were going to talk," she tells me.

"Tell you what kid, drink to more whiskeys and see if you can handle yourself. If you can then I will tell you what I know," she adds and places to whiskey in front of me.

I grin and chug them both down. I stand up and walk up to the railing. I balance perfectly on the railing and walk around the rails. Bonny laughs and calls me down.

"Now tell me," I tell her with my hands on my hips.

She grins back. "Okay fair enough,"

"In the broken bow of the city lives a man named Horace Pinkerton," she tells me.

I nod.

"Thanks," I tell her and head out of the bar.

Before I leave, I hear Bonny tell me, "When you come back, all over your drinks are free."

I grin and shut the door, and almost fall on my face. I start to laugh, knowing that the liquor is now affecting me. Good thing I kept it together, and Kaden says drinking is bad. I laugh and my laughter echoes threw the hallway.

Kaden's POV

As I change in into a tee shirt and a pair of lose fitting pants, I hear Jinx walk into the room, and I quickly pull my pants on and sit down on my bed. Jinx comes in. She wobbly makes her way to the bed that is next to mine and plops down on it. Her evil grin is on her face.

"The man you're looking for is Horace Pinkerton…Lives on the broke bow," she tell me.

I smile almost wanting to kiss her, but I thank her instead. Jinx just grins at me and sits up. She looks at me, and I start to freak out. Her amber eyes are not full of hate, but something else. Maybe it is just the alcohol. Jinx slowly leans over, as if to kiss me, but falls on the ground a couple of inches from me. I sigh, almost wanting her to kiss me.

"It is the alcohol…" I say and pick her up putting her in her bed. Even if it is, at least she almost kissed me.
