Bobby No-Nose's newest hired help turned out to be the same newcomer from the gate the day before. In the back of my mind, I was almost worried that she was gonna get her ass handed to her on a silver platter. When Fahrenheit pursued Bobbi and her help, I was blown away that the newcomer survived and even turned on Bobbi in the end.

My heart beat against my chest as I realized that I underestimated her. How good was she? Did I potentially put Fahrenheit and my guys in danger? What would have happened if she took Bobbi's side. I had no way of knowing just how dangerous she was, and that piqued my interest in more ways than one.

After Fahrenheit reported all this to me, I got a reward together and had her let the newcomer into the office to talk to me.

"Well, if it ain't Bobbi's little patsy," I pressed. "Here, for protecting my stash." I motioned to the pile of caps on the table and a few other goodies I threw in for her. "Two hundred caps."

Her eyes went wide as if she'd never seen such generosity. "I... don't know what to say."

"You don't gotta say nothin'. Your actions spoke for themselves, sister. Wise decision, turnin' on Bobbi like that."

"So... we're okay?"

"We are." I shot her a smile. "Go on. Take it. I know you need it."

She took her reward and put it into her duffel bag hanging from her shoulder. I reminded her to see Whitechapel Charlie if she needed more work — legitimate work, not that shady shit Bobbi was dealin' with.

She thanked me and left, leavin' me with this weird feeling that I couldn't quite place. Regret maybe? I had half a mind to go after her, but I barely knew the woman. Yet, she intrigued me to no end.

Fahrenheit walked back into the room. "I heard all of that. You are trying to impress her."

"This girl, Fahrenheit. There's somethin' different about her. What the fuck goes on in her head? What's her story? She walked in here lookin' like she was born yesterday and proved us both wrong by gunnin' her way through the sewers."

She shrugged. "I admit, she doesn't seem that bad. A little naive, maybe, but she's got a good head on her shoulders."

I rubbed my brow. "I wonder if she'll come back..."
