Next day
The next day Cass sat outside the Goodsprings saloon with a bottle of whiskey. The morning sun shined on her gently as it rose. She remembers the time when the Courier brought her to the dam after they won the battle against the Legion and forced the NCR out. He brought two shot glasses and whiskey to have their own little personal celebration.
When they spent that time together on the dam, the Courier attempted to try and get closer to her, romantically. She tried to push him away several times even during the campaign against the Legion but for some reason he just kept getting closer to her and she kept failing at keeping him at a distance. She took a long swig from her whiskey and sighed deeply. She forced the thought from her mind and sat up in the chair she was sitting in. Her attention diverted to Sunny Smiles who was approaching the saloon.
Rex barked happily and Sunny's dog, Cheyenne replied back with a bark to Rex. Sunny smiled at Cass and nodded to her.
"Ms. Cassidy." Sunny said.
"Sunny." Cass replied with a small grin.
"How did you sleep?" Sunny asked sitting in a chair opposite from Cass. Rex and Cheyenne were playing out off the deck where Sunny and Cass was talking.
"Well I guess. The howling from the wild life kinda kept me up a little."
"Haha we got use to it. When are you returning to Vegas?"
"As soon as they caravan is packed up and ready." Cass closed her whiskey bottle and stood up. "Are they inside?"
"I believe so." She said. Cass smiled and called Rex in. Sunny followed behind after Cheyenne ran in after Rex. Before Sunny went in something caught her eye. Down the road a rather large group of people were approaching the town. Sunny didn't think much on it so she just entered the saloon.
The Viper gang, consisting of six members approached the town slowly with their weapons holstered. Their acting leader was Gary Black and he halted the group half way within the town. Gary examined the area around and counted three securitrons patrolling the town. One patrolling up and down the road next to the saloon, general store and a house, another patrolling up to the graveyard and last the one which is about to greet them. Gary glanced at his second and she nodded backing up a bit.
"Hello travelers, welcome to Goodsprings." The securitron said with its robotic voice. Gary's second approached the securitron from behind and disabled it without a problem. The securitron collapsed instantly and she nodded to Gary.
"Disable the rest of them Tara. The rest of you come with me." Gary said.
They continued to march toward the saloon. They drew their weapons and Gary sent two of his members to approach from the backdoor while they went in from the front. "Don't kill any of them. Clark says we need them alive." Gary said arming his hunting shotgun. Gary kicked in the door first and they stormed in. The second team stormed in from the back cornering them.
Sunny and Cass drew their weapons first. Rex and Cheyenne got ready to attack but everyone one else was stunned. Gary's group outnumbered Cass, Sunny and their canines by one guy and outgunned them as well.
"Drop your weapons! Now!" One Viper girl growled.
"You heard her!" Another snarled.
Cass couldn't risk a fight. Too many of them and not enough people ready to fight them. She glanced at Sunny to drop her weapon but she glanced back in a silent argument. Cass glared at her and she dropped her Lever-action shotgun down then Sunny did.
"Call you're hounds off too." Gary said glaring at them.
"Rex stand down…"Cass muttered. Rex obeyed but glared back at Gary. Sunny said the same to Cheyenne and she stood down. Gary pulled out a few cuffs and gave it to his gang.
"Cuff the dangerous one. Like these two." He said.

Kaiden, Elder McNamara and Boone sat in Kaiden's room discussing the topic of where they should train the NVAA (New Vegas Alliance Army). Kaiden strolled around his room listening to both of their ideas on what type of armor the NVAA should wear.
"Power armor would be a good idea." Elder McNamara suggested.
"Yeah but I want the NVAA to be a separate division from the BOS." Kaiden said.
"Then a different sort of armor idea then?" Boone said. "We could take ideas from the ranger armor."
Kaiden always did like the look of the ranger armor, not only because of the duster but the helmet too. They were able to scavenge a lot of the ranger armor but didn't know what to use it for until now. Yes man rolled in during their discussing and faced the Courier.
"Sir there is a problem at Goodsprings." Yes man said.
"Cass got into a bar fight?" Kaiden asked laughing.
"No sir." Yes man said.
"Shot, stabbed or blew someone up?"
Elder McNamara looked at Boone with a stunned look and Boone just let a small grin slip and adjusted his shades.
"Cass is an interesting character Elder." Boone said.
"I'll say." He replied.
"No sir all three securitrons in Goodsprings have been shut down."
"Shut down, by whom?" Kaiden asked concerned.
"No idea but one securitron was able to get a scan of a suspicious group that entered Goodsprings."
Yes man's face disappeared and the picture of the group appeared on his monitor. Kaiden could barely get a good look at them so he asked him to fix the picture a bit. Kaiden counted six of them but didn't recognized any of them one bit.
"Yes man try reactivating one of the securitrons and go to the saloon."
"Yes sir."
Yes man forcibly reactivated the closets securitron in the area and it stood back up. He guided it toward the bar and attempted to open the door slowly.
"I'm entering the saloon now sir, activating audio feed."
"What hell!? I thought you turned that damn securitron off Tara!" Someone yelled.
"I did! It's probably the Courier, he probably reactivated it." Tara growled.
"Kaiden they have Goodsprings hostage get over here now!" Cass yelled.
"Shut her up!"
There was crackle sound and then a thud like someone fell. Gun shots went off and then there was static from the audio feed. Kaiden's heart sank deep in his stomach as if he swallowed it or something.
"I'm sorry sir but they destroyed the securitron. They were really bent on destroying that unit sir." Yes man said. Kaiden stood silently for a second looking at the ground. He took a deep breath and gave Boone a look and Boone knew what he wanted.
"I'll be ready in five." Boone said leaving the room.
