The man said, as he pushed a contract across the steel table.

"You know, I usually don't take contracts from people like you. But for 5,000 caps just for bringing someone in, I'll do it." Izzy said as he signed the contract Izzy turned to walk out, "Oh, if you don't pay me when I'm finished with the job, I'll kill your family."

"I don't have a family." The man named Braidy said as he leaned into the light revealing a scar across his head.

Current Location: Mason's Home

"Mason, we should probably go pick Jason up." Miranda said as she grabbed her backpack, "I think Zach's done training him. It's 6:00."

"Yeah, give me a few seconds." I replied as I packed Jason's surprise gift, "Time to hand it off isn't it?" I muttered to himself. I grabbed his 10mm pistol, "Alright, let's go Miranda." I walked out of the bedroom and into the the living room. The couches were white and clean, with only Miranda sitting on them. She stood up and followed me out of the house, weapons holstered. We walked towards the Target Arrow Camp. We walked in and took a knee. Silently honoring the dead that lived there. Miranda and I stood up and walked towards Zach's tent. Zach walked out.

"Mason. Miranda. Here to pick up Jason from his month long trip?" Zach said while bringing out Jason.

"Well, what else would they be here for Zach?" Jason asked with a smart-eleck tone. Zach turned and looked at Jason, "Ah [censored]."

"Well, for one, they could be here to kill you. Or they could not be your parents at all, which by this point they would have shot me, so obviously there still your parents. Or they could just be here to tell you that you have to stay longer." Zach said, "Also, I told you once, I will not tell you again, watch the language."

"Mom, Dad, can we please leave?" Jason said while walking towards us.

I wrapped his arm around Jason's shoulder and said, "Yes, but first, I've got to give you something. Remember how I told you about that gun that I saved the world with?" I said while pulling out Jason surprise, "Well, here it is." I handed Jason my 44. magnum, not loaded.

"Wow! Are you serious?" Jason asked while holding it like it was a present from god.

"Of course I'm serious. It's about time you got your own gun, you've been training with Zach long enough. Not that your done of course." I said, seeing Jason's facial expression not change one bit, "We should be heading home, let's go." I began to walk back towards the house, waving goodbye to Zach. I turned around and saw Zach with someone behind him. A sudden gunshot rung out through the air.

"Hey Mason! Just stand still for a second will you?" Someone yelled.

"OH [censored]! JASON, MIRANDA GET TO COVER AND I'LL COVER YOU!" I yelled while pulling out my 10mm pistol, [censored], Jason's pistol is empty "GET DOWN!" Gunshots from a SMG went through the air. My eardrums hurt at this point. I jumped behind a tree and began firing, "Fall back! Move your ass!" I shouted, and kept firing. My bullets were missing while the man who shot Zach bullet's were passing right by my skull. I looked over and saw Miranda firing at the man while keeping Jason covered, "Keep moving!" I shot my last bullet in my clip. [censored] ME!
