Known location: Lucky 38, Presidential suite

*Next Day*

Kaiden sat in front of his computer staring at the details of what happened at Goodsprings. They easily took it back and executed the remaining Viper gang members. All without losing a single life but something was up. Kaiden thought about it for a moment. The Viper gang takes Goodsprings hostage, they wanted to lure Kaiden there to take him it seems and then Gary called on someone by the name Clark.

"Hmm who is this Clark person…?" Kaiden said to himself.

Cass pushed her way through Kaiden's door without knocking and closed it back. Kaiden glanced up and raised his eyebrow as she stood in front of him.

"Were you ever taught how to knock?" Kaiden said with a smile.

"Humph whatever, listen." Cass said taking a seat. "Thanks for saving my butt back in Goodsprings."

Kaiden couldn't help to let a grin form. The only times Cass said thank you to him and in his case they were special. Was when he and she took on the Van Graff's and the Crimson caravan boss. Cass didn't seem big on saying thank you for small things on large to life things.

"You're welcome but to show you're really grateful how about going on a date with me." Kaiden said giving her a wink. Cass turned red a second after and stood up.

"No Courier. I told you before it's never going to happen."

Kaiden got up right after her and strolled around his desk with his hands in his pocket. He stood in front of Cass and sighed with a smile.

"All I said was a date Cass."

"I know where you're getting at Courier! I wasn't born yesterday." She said.

"Where am I getting at? All I want is a date. You seem want it to be more than that."

"Stop trying to turn this on me!"

"I'm not trying to. You already did that and you know how I knew, the way you acted when we'd come to the Strip from a mission. The women showing me a whole lot of attention and you glaring at them and hinting you'd drop them if they tried anything." Kaiden explained.

Cass grabbed Kaiden by his shirt and pushed him against the wall roughly holding him there. He could easily turn the tables on her but he didn't.

"You were stalking me?!"

"Not stalking just merely observing the Strip and you happen to be right there and don't pull no I-was-just-protecting-you-from- female- assassins garbage and don't get me started with Red Lucy!"

Cass tried tightening her grip on Kaiden's shirt but it started loosening up. Her glare was softening up as well. Kaiden caught this and decided to go in for the kill. He had enough of this little romantic game Veronica said they were playing. He slowly inched in closer to her face and she didn't pull back.

"Cass stop fighting me. What's wrong with us being together?"

"I-It's dangerous…" She muttered looking into his eyes.

"I could protect us both." He said leaning in closer. Kaiden started kissing Cass first and she began kissing him back. For the first time in the world Cass let her guard down. It felt good to her. She felt safe. Two minutes into it Cass snapped back into her safe guards and pushed Kaiden off. She made her way out of his room and toward the elevator pass Veronica on the way.

Known location: Outside the Lucky 38

Cass sat outside the Lucky 38 with her thoughts racing around like there was no tomorrow. The only time her thoughts raced like this was when she and Kaiden were running like hell from an Alpha Male Deathclaw. Her main thoughts were the thoughts she had now. All her feelings for Kaiden were never expressed fully but right now she couldn't tell if this was good or bad.

Cass sat on the stairs and stared down to the strip and sighed. Her first thoughts was why is she acting like a teenage girl. The fact that she's going head over heels about this means she really interested in Kaiden or probably more.

A woman a few minutes later started walking up the Lucky 38 stairs with a duster on. She had a 9mm drawn and aimed it at Cass. Cass looked up startled and held her hands up glaring at her.

"Another one of you fan girls it seems." Cass muttered lowering her hand a bit.

"I don't think so Cassidy. I'm Clark's apprentice, Silver." She said. Cass eyes glowed with shock.

"Start moving back into the 38 NOW!" She ordered pushing her.

Cass turned around and started making her way to the door. The woman pulled out a pulse grenade and got it ready for the securitrons that she knew were guarding the interior of the first floor.

"Hostile detected." One securitron said aiming its weapon at her.

"Warning Rose Cassidy in firing zone, hold fire." The other said.

Silver tossed the pulse grenade in the middle of the room and the second after it hit the ground it went off shutting off all three securitrons. Silver shoved Cass along to the elevator and pressed her gun against her head.

"Damn unreliable securitrons…"Cass muttered. Silver shoved her again and Cass growled under her breath and punched in the code to access the elevator.

"Alright what level is Kaiden on?" Silver asked looking at the buttons.

Cass pressed the presidential suite house button willingly and the doors closed shut taking them up.

"You know he's probably already ready for you." Cass said with her hands still up. Cass had a small switchblade strapped to her wrist and was covered by her jacket sleeve.

"Who won't shoot you if I use you as a shield."

"Yeah I know." Cass said elbowing Silver in the face. Silver dropped her gun and tried restraining Cass. Cass spun around and pulled her switchblade but Silver pushed her against the elevator door before she was able to us the blade. Silver kicked the blade out of her hand and performed a left hook then a right hook in Cass's face. Cass blocked her next left hook and drove her fist in her gut then did a right hook in her face. The doors of the elevator opened and Silver tackled Cass out of the elevator.

Everyone heard the noise and came rushing out to see what was wrong. Cass pushed Silver off and both women watched one another waiting for the other to make a move. Silver attacked first with a side kick. Cass dodged it and kicked her leg out from behind. Cass followed up with an upper cut and then she elbowed her in the gut. Silver stumbled back and kneeled down gagging. She looked up at everyone either were watching or had their weapons pointed at Silver. She smiled and held her hands up.

"I surrender."
