Chapter 1

Leo was one of the best bounty hunters in the wastelands. He was known through the east and and part of the mid west. Trained as a young boy by his father who was once part of BoS, Leo was very skilled in hand-to-hand combat and shooting. Leo had abandoned the BoS at the age of 18. He was now one of the most notorious bounty hunters out there along with some others. Leo had left the mid-west and traveled to the east.

Leo woke up in an empty field in the Connecticut wasteland. He wore combat boots, Jeans, a t-shirt, with a duster over it, and some fingerless gloves to finish the outfit off. He wiped his eyes and took a sip of water. After that little thirst quenching sip he had ran out. Leo shook the bottle and anger and threw it. He sheathed his combat knife and slung his bag over his shoulder. Grabbing his assault rifle Leo started walking north. Leo had blonde hair that covered his eyes. He had an average build. Not too buff but he didn't look like a weakling. Leo had a scar going down from the bottom of his right eye to his mouth from an accident in training. He was also the average height of a male. After walking for a while he decided to rest so he sat down.

"Hey kid." Said a raider trying to act casual. "Looking to buy something?"

"Hmm. Yeah do ya' have any water?" Leo asked shielding his eyes from the sunlight.

The raider shook his head as if to say "nope" and kicked Leo in the face. Leo scrambled to his feet and rubbed his face. The raider came after him. Leo managed to dodge the running raider but didn't avoid that one's partner. The second raider grabbed Leo and started punching and kneeing him. Christopher reached his combat knife and pulled it out of it's sheath. The first raider came and started choking Leo. Leo tried flipping and elbowing the raider hoping he would let go. The he started receiving punches to stomach. Leo spit blood into the raider's face that was in front of him. That raider grabbed a bat and knocked Leo out cold.

"Well look who's awake." Leo heard a soft voice say as he opened his eyes. It was a female voice. She was wearing casual leather armor and had her black long hair in a pony tail.

Leo stumbled away from her. "Where-where am I?" He asked struggling to his feet.

"Relax. You're in a cell. Duh." She answered Leo's question. "My name is Victoria, by the way. Most people call me Magma though."

"Why?" Leo asked confused at the nickname.

Victoria rolled up her sleeve to reveal a red tattoo that was mixed with burns and a couple scars. The tattoo went from her elbow to her hand.

"Oh." Leo said thinking he had sounded stupid.

"I have a plan to get out of here." Victoria began "Ya' see that desk over there?" She asked pointing to a desk across of the room on the other side of the cell.

"Uh-huh. What about?" Leo replied.

"There are keys to this very cell in there. Get them and we're free." She finished explaining.

"How?" Leo asked sadly longing those keys.

"with this." Victoria said pulling a out a piece of shrapnel from a hole in the wall. "Saw away at the cell door with this."

"That's....so stupid." Leo said shrugging.

"Then you come up with a plan." She said sarcastically.

"I will." Leo replied smiling.

Chapter 2 Sneak Peek

Leo wasn't really a plan before going. He just really went with things. So he had some type of trouble thinking of a plan. Until in the morning a day after his capture he got it. The guard of his and Victoria's cell pulled the keys out every morning to see if the lock on the door was working. Leo waited for the guard to come up to the door with that piece of sharp shrapnel in the palm of his hand. Luckily his gloves were still on or the metal would've cut his hand. When the guard walked up to the door Leo ran up to him and stabbed the piece of shrapnel deep into his stomach. Leo covered the almost dead guard's mouth so his screams wouldn't travel to the ears of others. The guards body fell to the ground after Leo grabbed the keys off his belt.

Leo turned to Magma "We're out." he found himself grinning.

Leo unlocked the door and walked over to the desk across the room grabbing his duster and weapons. All except his rifle. He pounded his fist on the desk. Then saw it. A new, clean, perfectly working .44 Magnum. He grabbed it and examined it. He checked to see if it was loaded. Slowly another smile crept on his face at the sight of the pistol being loaded and more ammo being on the desk. He took the ammo and put it in his bag. Leo slung the bag over his shoulder after putting on his duster. He examined the place. Dirty, dark, wet, and well just [censored].

Leo turned to Victoria. "Hey uuh"

"Magma." She reminded him.

"Right, you all set up?" He asked.

"Yeah. Let's go." Victoria replied loading a Hunting Rifle.
