Dwellers chaos (redone)

4

After you are hooked up to the RadAway, you lean against a wall and slump down. "What can I call you besides Ghoul? I don't want to be running for my life and yelling that and someone shoot you." You say with a slight smile. Your face is pale and have red around your eyes and nose. Your lips are so dry from not drinking water. The ghoul looks at you.

"How about Coop?" He says sitting next to you on the cold concrete floor. He places a hand on your knee and squeezes.

"Coop? I like it but why that?" You are looking at him drinking from a flask and not his usual canteen.

"My name used to be Cooper Howard. You want some?" He hands you the flask. You take a swig and it's whiskey. You never had whiskey before. Only read about how it was made. It warms you as it goes down. You end up falling asleep as you nuzzle into Coop. He tenses but doesn't move away. He lets you rest on his shoulder.

You wake up and Coop isn't around. You call out for him and he is wheezing in the corner over by the door. His eyes are very dark and scary looking. You still can't move because there is a little RadAway left in the bag.

He stands up and growls a bit. You just stare in confusion at him. He shakes his head and then says, "I'm out of Jet. I only have a few days before I try to eat you. Been watching you as you sleep." He walks over to the window now. He rests an arm on the side of it just above his head.

"If we don't make it back to Filly, I want you to promise me something. Can you do that for me?" He says still looking out the window.

"Anything. You keep me safe so I want to do the same." You say looking at the bag that is just about gone.

He turns to look at you now. "Safe! I don't keep you safe! If anything I want to kill you right now." He snaps at you. You don't jump or react in anyway. He takes a deep breath. "I need you to kill me if I turn. Don't hesitate or anything like that. Shoot me in the head multiple times. And don't stop until you empty the gun."

You unhook the RawAway and clean the needle before answering him. "Don't worry. I will kill you if you look at me wrong. Now, do you want to stay here while I make the travel back to Filly or you coming with me?"

You wrap your arm up and pack the bag into your backpack. He smirks and then it turns into a mean glare.

"If I slow you down, you continue and get the medicine. If you come back and it doesn't work, you know where to shoot me."

You both nod and make your way to Filly. You make it just outside of the entryway way to Filly when he collapses.

"Fucking asshole. We are almost there. Get up!" You hit him. He just stares and points at Filly. You leave him and find a place that says hospital and dental work.

You run in and throw some caps on the desk in front of the man. "I need Jet. Give me what you can." The man looks at the caps and slowly counts them.

"Hmm best I can do is 3 vials. But if you ask me nicely, I can give you 10. All you got to do is give me that gun." He says smirking his nasty teeth at you.

You shake your head no and take the three vials and run out before he can talk anymore. You go back to where you left Coop but he isn't there. You scan the area and you spot his hat on a car in the trees. He is sitting next to the car wheezing.

"How you doing?" You say as you keep your distance.

He looks at you. "Good. And not good." He says as he falls to his side. "Bad." He wheezed out before shutting his eyes.

"Fuck! Coop!" You yell at him as you kneel beside him. You place his head on your lap and dig in his bag. You find his inhaler and load a vial into it. You smack his cheek and he opens his eyes. "Take it!" You demand.
