The Bounty hunter grabbed the pistol from behind the desk and shot the man.
The man fell down to the floor, but managed to grab a chair on the way.
He whispered his last words before his dead body would hit the metal.
An astonished look on his face, but the fear almost over cloaked it.
The Bounty hunter did not even give a hint of remorse.
His eyes were fixed on the smoke coming from the pistol, no emotion at all.
A trickle of blood seeped from under the man's head.
The man would be found a week or two after his death, partly eaten by Radroaches.
Simon had complained about the smell in the old abandoned room next to him.
The man was only 32 years old.
No one knew what happened to him, But it was obvious that he’d been murdered.
Simon did not feel the need to watch the partly eaten corpse.
He’d probably get sick from the sight anyway.
It was only four weeks ago that Simon arrived at Rivet City.
No one took the trouble to introduce themselves to him.
He didn’t mind, it wasn’t new to him.
Simon kept to himself most of the time anyway.
It would take more than seven days to get to Rivet City, but he was determined to go.
Now that he had arrived, he forgot why he exactly wanted to live there.
In order to pay for his accommodation, sweeping floors was the main task of his job.
It was a boring task, but it provided him for what he needed.
Simon walked back to his room after a hard day working below deck.
He did not feel the need to eat anything.
The murder in the room next to him kept haunting his mind.
Why would anyone want to murder him and how did they get there without any trace?
After some hours of dubbing, Simon went to bed but couldn’t sleep.
“Silly little man.” A voice suddenly spoke out of nothing.
Simon quickly got up and looked scared around him.
Nothing, it had to be his imagination, but it sounded so real.
Maybe he had already started to dream.
Simon got back to bed and tried to sleep once more.
“You? You can’t sleep. Not anymore anyway.”
A man covered in dark cloth, wearing shades, stood right before Simon.
“Sometimes I ask myself why you think you’re human.”
Simon got up as quickly as he could but he didn’t know what to do.
“No matter” The man spoke. “You’re coming back with me. Your job is done here.”
“Activate code: Series One, Magenta Zero Newton!”
Every thought disappeared into the void.
Only the voice counts, only the order of the voice must be followed.
The cloaked man signalled Simon to follow, and he did.
Simon and the man left Rivet City, back to the Commonwealth.
Simon grabbed the pistol from behind the desk and shot dr. Liegtheim.
Liegtheim fell down to the floor, but managed to grab a chair on the way.
He whispered his last words before his dead body would hit the metal.
“Simon, how could you kill your own creator, your own… father?”
An astonished look, but the fear almost over cloaked it.
Simon did not even give a hint of remorse.
