There will be a big reason for that.))
Richard woke up a few hours later, yawning. He raised his wrist, looking at what the pre-war lives would call a 'watch'. "Eight-Twenty?" he muttered to himself, looking up at the now night sky. Richard was surprised at the fact no wild life attempted to make him wastelander stew. Then again, Richard did remember being very great with animals ever since he was a boy. Yawning, the hunter rose, gazing at the ruins of Fairfax. Camp fire could be seen in some of the buldings and on the streets. Richard took notice of minor movement, and voices coming from it.
"Raiders no doubt..." Richard muttered, pulling out two pistols from his belt and walking to the ruins. "Looks like I will have a story."

Claire stood in the streets of Fairfax, looking her men over. Through out the groups travels, they had all proved there loyalty to each other..... almost all anyways. There were a few instances where Claire had to make a example of what she does with fools. Assault rifle now strapped to her back, she digged into her pocket and pulled out a cigar box.
"Lets see...." she muttered to herself, opening it up to see with much disappointment, no cigars left. "Bloody hell, Rick!" she shouted to a raider sitting by a campfire, "Do you have any cigars?"
Rick looked back to her, short hair visible on top his head. He seemed to hesitate before replying, "No Claire, I do not have any cigars on me. You smoked them all!"
"Dammit!" Claire muttered to herself, not having a good smoke in weeks. "Im about ready to kill for somthing to smoke..."

As Richard came closer to the ruins, he made sure to stay in the shadows, and near the rock walls. He kept his two pistols out, his jacket blowing in the night wind. Then, as Richard continued to creep across the rocky terrain, he heard voices.
"Aye, Mikey! What say tommorow morning, we go play with those outcast?"
A more staticy voice spoke, seeming to come from the exact same spot of the first, "I already suggested that to Claire. The bloody scouting party needs to get back before we can leave these fu$#ing ruins!"
Richard took notice of the staticy voice seeming to come from a radio. Taking grip of the rock wall, he began to climb silently.
"Ugh, I swear to you Mikey, there dead!"
"Hey, I am not the one giving the orders bud."
This went on for a good while, as Richard climbed. Once the hunter reached the top of the rocky wall, he took notice of one raider with a sniper near him, speaking into a walky talky.
((Anyone know any other freaking name for those! That just sounds... childish.))
Richard slid his guns silently into his belt, pulling out a small, but sharp knife instead. The shadows were on his side as he creeped closer to the raider, raising the knife. The raider continued to speak into the communicator, completely unaware of his hunter, just the way Richard liked it.
The raider turned around suddenly, pulling out a pistol and setting it to Richard's chest!
"Think your so sneaky, don't you little peace of shi-?" The raider said, dropping the communicator as he pressed the pistol harder onto Richard's chest.
Richard smiled, "Well, I know this isn't Herbert Daring Dashwood, but still."
"SHUTUP!" the raider said, backhanding Richard with a gloved hand.
Richard slowly turned his head, staring the raider dead in the eye, saying calmly "You dont want to do that again. Believe me you dont."
The raider chuckled, "Or what?" he said, slapping Richard again.
Richard sighed, turning it slowly once more, "I warned you....." he quickly grabbed the barrel of the pistol and pushed it upward, kicking into the raiders knee! He followed this with a punch to the raiders left cheek, then right cheek, followed by a fist to the jaw! The raider began to emit a howl, but The Hunter showed NO mercy, bringing the bottom palm of his hand to the raiders nose!
The raider stared at him for a moment, blood trickling out of the nostrils, then collapsed. A voice emitted from the communicator, "Mikey! You ok man?"
Richard lifted up the communicator, speaking in the voice he heard the raider he just killed speak in, "Yeh. Just another mole rat that got to close to me. Look man, I gotta focus right now. I will talk to you later."
"O....ok Mikey."
Richard turned off the communicator, picking up the sniper rifle the raider had near him. The Hunter kneeled down, setting his eye to the scope.
"What shall we see?" Richard muttered to himself, observing Fairfax.
