Fallout: The Lone Wanderers

Chapter 5: Unusual Search

The three walked back to the ramp to find Evan King slouched on the chair gripping his assault rifle. Keizer smirked and cleared his throat causing Evan to awaken in freight looking at his surroundings.

"Oh it's you three." He said. "Is everyone alright?" he asks.

"Yeah, everyone is fine... besides the two dead bodies in the Wests home." Keizer jokingly said.

"The whats!?" Evan yelled in shock.

Otis elbowed Keizer in the stomach in fustration. Keizer grunted in pain and gave him a nasty look.

"We found the Wests body in their house, someone got them." Rosalina informed solemnly.

Evan looked at the ground and clutched his hands in anger. "The family must've gotten to them in the last attack. Sons of bitches!" He said with anger in his voice. He quickly lifted his head as if suddenly realized something. "Wait, you all said two bodies? So you didn't find Ian in there?" Evan asked.

The three looked at each other confused, they didn't find a third body in the house. "No, just Mr and Mrs Wests bodies." Rosalina answered with concern in her voice.

Evan became even more furious at this point. "This has to be the work of the family. I've seen that leader of theirs talking with Ian by the river." He said with anger. "Look I know I asked a lot from you three, but you have to get Ian back, he deserves better." Evan begged.

"We'll do our best to find him for you." Rosalina said assuring Evan.

"Do we have too?" Keizer whined "We were supposed to deliver a message not..." He was suddenly cut off when Otis quickly punched him in the jaw.

"Yes we will, dumbass." Otis said. Keizer muttered 'asshole' under his breathe.

"Thank you. You all are good people." Evan said with a smile on his face.

"Do you have any ideas where they might be hiding?" Otis asked.

Evan thought for a second "They're either at Hamilton's Hideaway, Moonbeam Outdoor Cinema or the Northwest Seneca station. Hard to say." He answered.

"Well we at least know where to start. Let's head out." Rosalina said, motioning to boys to come along. They all headed down to begin their search for Ian.

Meanwhile back in Megaton

Geoffreys vision blurred as he opened his eyes, feeling his head pounding. The only thing he remember was being shot and then passing out. He pulled himself up only to feel a sudden pain surged on his left side remembering that's where he was shot.

"Bout time you woke up." Doc Church spoke. "Take it easy would you, I don't want to have to patch you up again."

Geoffrey slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. "Ugh, how long was out?" He asked.

"About a couple hours." Church answered.

"Well thanks for fixing me up. I don't have any caps on me but I..." He was interrupted when Doc Church stuck his hand up.

"Don't worry about it. Otis is paying for it."

Geoffrey raised his eyebrow up, as that name sounded familiar to him "That's the ghoul right?" He asked.

Doc Church nodded his head "That's right." Geoffrey was shocked, he's surprised the ghoul went out of his way to help him despite the fact they were close to trying to kill each other. He knew he had to find some way to repay him. "Well, unless you got something else wrong with you, you get going up."

Geoffrey slowly got up and left the clinic. He squinted his eyes when stepped out, realizing it was still day out.

"Well I'll be, your awake." A voice from the side of Geoffrey said. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I'm Lucas Simms, I'm the sheriff here." Lucas said.
