Chapter 1
October 1st, 2298, Megaton
The last eleven years of my life I have hunted these men and every time I get close they always get away, eleven years.
The door to Moriarty's Saloon opened slowly, it was opened by a man wearing a dirty stained Brown Hoodie, you could see little of his face, just his nose, the scar on his left cheek, and the man's beard. The man soon sat down on a stool right in front of the bartender, Gob.
"Hey Ghoul, go get me Moriarty." The man said.
"Fine, what's your name?" Gob replied.
"Mark."
Gob walked into the back room, a few seconds later both him and Moriarty walked out. Moriarty approached Mark. "What do you want?" Moriarty asked.
"Nothing, just wanted to say hi. Do you remember me?" Mark asked.
"No. Cannot say I do." Moriarty replied.
Moriarty was in his later fifties now, Mark was not surprised that he did not remember him. "Well, I am an old pal of yours, does the name Mark Never sound familiar to you?" Mark asked.
"Mark Never...Mark Never...Well I do not know a Mark Never, only a Mark Neverea." Moriarty stated.
"That is me Moriarty, I do not go by that last name anymore. Not since, well you know." Mark replied.
"Marcus Adam Neverea! I have not seen you, in twenty one years!" Moriarty said with excitement.
"Yeah, it has been a long time. But your busy so I will let you be." Mark said.
"Alright, it was good seeing you again Mark."
"You too buddy, you too."
Mark continued to sit at the stool, it was really all he could do, he had lost all track of Jonny Crusade and his buddies, he had lost track of the people he craved to kill. Mark spent most of his time walking around the wastes looking for them but for the last nine years he has been unable to find them. Mark turned around at the sound of the Saloon door opening, he saw a Ghoul enter, the Ghoul sat down on the stool beside Mark.
"Another Ghoul! I rarely see them here!" Gob said greeting the other Ghoul, "What's your name friend?" Gob then asked.
"Name is Josh, Josh Schultz." He replied.
Mark's head instantly turned to the ghoul after hearing that name, his eyes shot open and he slowly said "No."
