''Whats taking him so long,'' Wayne said, looking at Jack.'' We gotta go soon, im not gonna wait till the super mutants find us and skin us alive.''
Jack was sitting in a chair by the some sandbags, looking at he′s AK, as if he wanted to squeeze the trigger.''IDK man, [censored] aint paying us enough to be sitting around looking at Mutant patrols, we should [censored] off back to Megaton.''
Wayne hit Jack in the back of he′s head.''Look [censored], I know the boss more then you, he aint no [censored] [censored], so shut your big ass mouth or ill throw you to the mutants myself,'' Wayne took up he′s shotgun. ''Keep watch, im going to find the boss.''
Jack rolled he′s eyes.
''Boss, you there!?'' It echoed throughout the building, and Wayne pointed he′s gun in front of him.
A gun was shot in the ceiling, so dust fell down on Wayne′s face. ''Aw [censored] man, WTF?'' The old man appeared in front of him, pointing a pistol in Wayne′s face.
''Dont worry, he′s with me,'' I said. The old man holstered he′s gun. ''Great, could have warned me before. Sorry about that incident, im not used to visitors.''
Wayne rubbed he′s eyes in an attempt to get the dust out, and looked angrily at the old man.''[censored], next time I sure ass hell will shoot you, that hurt like hell.''
The old man took up he′s gun again and resumed to point it at Wayne. ''I may be old but im a good shot, next time dont call a man with a gun [censored].'' Wayne just nodded, and whispered: [censored].
''Now come with me boys, i got something i have been wanting to show somebody in a long time,'' he said, walking outside, to a building on the other side of the old slaver settlement. It was a nice building, had been cleaned and stacked with food and water. The old man offered them a seat on a old ruined sofa, and took something out of he′s pocket. It was a map, with a picture of a huge tower in one corner, and a arrow beside it pointing at the upper part of the map. ''Oh, where are my manners,'' the old man suddenly said, walking slowly to an nuka cola machine, and took a bottle of nuka cola, along with three, dirty, glasses. He poured the nuka cola into the glasses.''Here ya go, drink up. This is truly a time to celebrate, i got something very important to tell you.''
Wayne looked at the dirty glass with cola in it, and just shook he′s head saying:''I sure as [censored] aint drinking this [censored].''
The old man eyeballed him. ''Suit yourself,'' he said, took the glass, and emptied the cola. I looked strangely at him with disgust. ''Can we please get to bussiness?'' The old man looked at me and nodded.''Yes course, sorry. Me and nuka are old friends, i tend to forget myself when drinking it. Now to the point. You know what this is?'' He said, pointing at the tower, and then at the map. I investigated the map a little.''Never seen it.'' The old man laughed:''Ha, well this my boy is the old world, or whats left of it. This my boy is Ol' Vegas the beautifull, Vegas the magnificent, Vegas the... Wayne interupted him.''Yo old man, would ya please get to the point, we got a job to do.'' I looked at Wayne.''The quantum is gone.''
The old man took a bottle of glowing stuff and put it on the table.''I got more, i never liked this stuff, but i took it here for safekeeping. Now where did we come from?''
I just took the quantum and put it safely in my backpack. ''We were talking about Vegas.''
''Right Vegas, well as i was saying Vegas, i was there once. A real paradise, full of people coming and going, and i got a job for you. Interested?''
''Well, if you happen to have 5 more quantum, then we would surely be up for hire,'' I said, but with a little doubt.''Whats the job?''
He laughed.''Upstairs there is a crate filled with quantum. Feel free to take them.''
I gave Wayne a sign to get it, and he nodded. The old man looked seriously at me.''Well, i would love to just, take one more trip to Vegas. We would have to go through the whole country, but it will be worth it. I got a friend there, guy named Ulysses, he should be able to pay you.'' Wayne put a crate with a few quantum′s on the floor beside the old smelly sofa.''So shall we go?'' He asked.
''In a minute Wayne.'' I said.''How much are we talking about?'' The old man smirked.''Lets say 100.000 caps shall we?''
''Your not taking the job are you boss?'' he said, when we were on our way out.''100.000 caps is too good to be true, hell its a whole storehouse.''
''Wayne, i know, but im not saying yes cause of the money. That old fool mentioned a whole new city, untouched by the scourge that fills this crappy wasteland area, think about it.'' Wayne smiled.''So we take the job, and if the fool pays up, we can live in luxury in Vegas?'' We were just walking by the entrance to paradise falls, when Wayne yelled:''[censored] YEAH, Vegas here we come.''
''Hey wait, where is Jack?''
