New Vegas (rough draft teaser)

A long time ago. Things were peaceful.. Easier in a way..well at least that's what some of these books say. But that was like I said. A long time ago. Before I was born. Actually before I was born I heard people lived in the vaults that scatter the wasteland. Well my name is Nathan. Nathan Dunmoor. I'm a courier for..."big time" people. I thought it was an easy job. Until....

"You've got something I want" I open my eyes to see three men standing in front of me. Two big goons and a man in a black and white checkered shirt. It looked rather vintage. And he was clean shaven. "What would that be?" I tried to move my hands as I spoke only to find that I have been bound. I glance around and realize that I'm in a graveyard. The man pulled a pistol out of the inside of his jacket. "This" he said as he held up a platinum poker chip. "And now that I have it. You're assignment has failed... You're job a a courier has ended." the man aimed the gun at me and I started hyperventilating. Everything began to spin and all I saw was the barrel of the gun pointed right at my face. I tried to speak but I only made I quiet squeak. "Looks like you've busted. Deals over" my eyes widened as the goons started walking away. My breathing deepened and my heart raced as I saw a flash. BANG! Suddenly silence..nothing. My bet was over and had foolishly gone all in. My last gamble....Or was it
