The Ice Age

Third Chapter

"Wake up Newbie, It's time to get ready for visit." said Scavenger
"Who are we going to visit?" asked Henry
"My old friend, merchant from Time Square. So get ready, pack up organs and we are leaving in 5 minutes."
They took their coats, guns, ammunition and Henry started to dig up those jars one by one and packed them into his backpack.
They commenced their journey. Their route was long because the Bunker was on the edge of city. But they did it. They arrived on Time Square. They got closer to big and heavy metal door. Scavenger knocked on them and they oppened. They descendend some stairs and they finally met the merchant.
"Greetings my old friend! How are you doing?" said Scavenger with smile on his face
"Very good" replied the merchant. He was quite short, had grey hair, wearing white shirt with black vest on it. He was old, but wise. He had slavic accent, he was probably from Russia.
"Henry, this is my old friend.  Mr. Sidorovich. But he is also known as Merchant from Time Square."said Scavenger
"I am your commrade... And you Henry... you are my commrade too." said Sidorovich with pure slavic accent.
"So commrades,  what do you have for me?" asked merchant
"We have new organs : pair of lungs, pair of kidneys and heart." said Scav
"Opa... Very nice... And what do you want for exchange?"
"Some money, ammunition and batteries."
"Ok let me count that... 245 bullets of caliber 7.62x39mm, 7 car batteries and 9,500 ¶ (which was currency used nowadays, pronounced like P from english alphabet)." proposed Sidorovich
"We haven't got any gun with that caliber." said Scavenger
"Ok then... I will give you ammo, those batteries, but I will give you 9,000 ¶ and AK-47. What do you say?"
"Ok... That's it we have a deal!"
"Nice commrade... Come on we have to celebrate this!" said Sidorovich and took out bottle of vodka.
When they decided to leave, it was dark and frosty night, so they had to find some kind of hideout. They walked into the first they building, they saw, put out sleeping bags and laid down.
They woke up, but they were sieged by guys with almost same uniforms. Then a masked woman came closer to them. She was wearing a bandanna over her mouth, old fashioned welding glasses and old nazi helmet.
"So... You guys have been messing around pretty late, don't you think?" she said
"Hey, we don't want any trouble, it was just cold outside, so we had to find some warm place." said Scavenger
"I don't care about it, you were on our turf, so now you belong to us."
"I don't belong to anyone so fuck off you dumbass." said Scav and stood up to exit the place.
"You are not going anywhere!" shouted one of the men and bumped Scav on the ground.
"Cuff them, we will have less trouble." said woman
Our heroes got cuffed and were taken to the building which was called the Headquarters. Everyone in New York knew this building. It belonged to a clan of survivors called Snow Raiders.
They were infamous because of their behavior. They were arrogant, coldblooded killers and they always fought till death. No matter who died, they had to win. Everyone was frightened of them, no-one ever wanted to meet them in the streets of New York.
