A week has passed by since you made it to Mile 46. A lot had happened in the meantime.

Boss slapped you real good the first she saw you. She kept shouting for quite some time but deep inside, you knew she cared about you. She did her best to hide her tears.

Kingston actually paid the Boss to work for her. According to him, with the loss of his comrades in the thorn his 'secret' merc company was disbanded. Despite your refusal of this idea, Boss accepted his offer.

Cain, Richard and most of the mercs celebrated your arrival with a small party. It was hastily prepared but it was the thought itself that mattered. Frost's has drastically increased in this week, Perhaps twice his normal small size?

This radstorm had morphed the Mojave into something else. The lack of Jobs was understandable; everyone was rebuilding or recovering from the loss of a loved one.

You haven't took any Jet for the past two weeks. You felt.....

....free, you felt free. You never felt as good as now.

A group of five tribesmen approached the town. They were from the suns tribe, it was obvious from their lack of proper clothes.

Once they stepped into Leggy's. Everyone gathered near Boss' office. She had a prolonged chat with them. After a couple of minutes, Boss came out with an arching smile "I need two for this one who i-"

Janus interrupted the boss in a rude fashion "It is my time, Boss. Do not forget your promise. I am taking Richard with me..."

"Oookay." Boss hide her agitation. Everyone was kind of disappointed especially Kingston "Your thoughts, Richard?"

>I am down.
>Fuck no, I am not coming with her
>Why not? She is a good company.

"Good." said Janus Monotonously "Meet me outside when you are ready. You got one hour."
Just like that, the Mercs dispersed .

Before you went on your way, Boss stopped you for a second "Your two gold bars can solve your debt nicely, Richard, how about giving them to me?"

>thought you would never ask [give her two gold bars]
>One for now, Boss [give her only one bar]
>I think i will keep those babies for now

>>43689167
he is doing fine? I guess being trapped in Delt's fortress might have changed him a little bit.

>>43689257
>One for now, Boss [give her only one bar]
we can probably use the other one to clear what's left of Popsicle's debt.. he needs it more than we do

>>43689257
>>One for now, Boss [give her only one bar]
Then how much for the second? I'll sell it to you for a reasonable price.

>>43689305
There are three gold bars.

>>43689347
Like forgiving the other 5000+ caps of debt?

>>43689257
>One for now, Boss [give her only one bar]
Do not say the additional dialogue from >>43689347

I thought they were two, so sorry anons
>>43689347
"Alright, this will cancel about 4000 caps, can't wait to get my hands on the rest. You don't want another nasty intrest, don't you?"

You swallowed your anger "Of course not."

With these words said, you left Boss and started to get prepared for the next job. There were no weapons vendors in the town after Delt so this might be problematic. You are out of caps too.

>Go to [Mell/41/Xann]
>Get ___ from your locker

>>43689305
Kingston assumed they will cover your expenses. Keep in mind that this guy is rich as fuck. Two bars means almost nothing to him. He just wants to do the only thing he loves. they may cost more in the right hands, few value gold in this day and age.

>>43689520
>>Go to [Mell/41/Xann]
See if they can give a better deal than 4K caps for the gold bar.

But god damn the hell did Rich do to get in that much debt to the boss?

>>43689520
>Get the nailgun and 50 nails from your locker
i know last flesh uses 10mm but i can't remember what the last virgil uses, .45?

>>43689597
we got in debts to pay half of a friend's who has it a lot worse than we do

>>43689597
I don't think anyone would buy it, they are simple folks in a simple town. No one would have that amount of caps. Xann might have thought

We owe Boss 10500 caps (i think?) after we took a loan to help Popsicle.

>>43689632
.44

>>43689639
>though

>>43689639
we loaned her 10000 caps originally,
but i think we repayed a little already
of course there's interests and all that,but yeah

you grabbed the nailgun and went to Xann, she might help you with your cap problem.

Lots of empty vials and test tube were littered around her shack. You found Xann chanting and mumbling more useless word and other gibberish. The floor was completely wet. The wrappings around her were loosened and damp exposing some of her pale skin. She was.... dancing? you couldn't interpret her fluid movements. She hadn't notice you yet.

>[Cough]

"Hmmm?" The way she tilted her head was settling.

"Yeah, Ann, that's the one. She gave me caps for blood. Is she your sister or something."

Xann didn't reply she

>>43690142
we have three gold bars, one went to boss cancelling 4000 caps of our debt. we still have two bars

>>43690142

>>43690167
I thought Kingston only gave us two. Sorry for misunderstanding.

"Ahh, gold. before the war, humans valued this piece of metal ...useless, utterly useless. I only deal with live and death...well most of the time. 10 caps, each." She leaned against the wall. Her wrapped feet tapped on the floor.

Lots of empty vials and test tube were littered around her shack. You found Xann chanting and mumbling more useless word and other gibberish. The floor was completely wet. The wrappings around her were loosened and damp exposing some of her pale skin. She chuckled for no apparent reason "This is amusing..."

"What?"

"Why, This gold. This greed. This whole world. It is useless to me. 10 caps for each bar." she slowly extended her arms while dripping more of what you assumed to be water. You were baffled by her quick answer. Well, walking around with two gold bars can tell a lot of your intentions, you thought.

"Aren't we all?" she laughed for a good minute.

"Well, thank you for standing up with the town."

"The poor doctor can't fight death by herself for so long. it was my choice to help other lives." she paused for a second "Do you seek anything else?"

Before your departure, you checked on Frost and Rein. You gave her a kiss "I will take care of our little guys, Isn't that right, Frost?"

"Kraaak!" He licked your face for a bit before coiling himself around Rein "Janus, Richard, Take care!"

"I will." Janus cracked a small smile. Only a teenage girl stood next to Janus, the rest was gone "Let's go , Richard."
