30 Days since NCR Defeat at Hoover Dam
General Heston found the 1st Recon tent that housed Charlie
Team, he walked inside and everybody stood up and saluted... "At
ease ladies and gentlemen" He said.
..."I'm looking for Corporal John Hayes" Heston said... "Yes
Sir?" John Hayes answered... "You've been reassigned, grab your
gear and head to tent next to me office" Heston ordered... "Sir,
may I bring my spotter?" Hayes asked, not wanting to leave his
apprentice behind. Heston thought about it for a moment and
shrugged.
..."Who is he?" Heston asked... "Private Emma Thurston sir" She
stated... "Fair enough, you both look capable, Corporal. Yes."
Heston said and then left the tent. The 2 Snipers grabbed their
gear and headed off to their next mission.
---------------------------------------------------
..."Timothy Guerrero. Private Timothy Guerrero?" Called
Lieutenant Walters, everybody in the Old World building paid no
mined to him and continued working on their various projects.
Assembling Explosives, trying to keep some of the old vehicles
running, ways for soldiers to carry more ammunition without too
much added weight.
..."Guerrero!" Walters shouted... "Yes sir?" Guerrero shouted as
he running from the back of the building... "What were you doing
Private!" Walters yelled... "Fixing the Generators so we can get
some of these good welders working sir" Guerrero explained while
panting.
..."Somebody else will have to fix that, you've been reassigned"
Walters said and gave Guerrero his orders on a piece of paper...
"Thank you sir" Guerrero said and rushed off to get his gear.
Walters left the building and marched across the path between
the "Engineering Building" and the barracks for his Platoon. He
walked in and shouted... "Wheres Johnson!"
..."In the back I think sir" One of the Soldiers said
respectfully and quietly as Walters was a very hard and angry
man. Walters to the back of the main room and the first door,
empty, the second, empty, finally he opened the third one, there
he spotted Private First Class Carla Johnson, half naked, flat
on her back with her legs spread and another soldier on top of
her, thrusting.
..."Good god, what the hell are you two doing!" Walters
shouted... "Jesus!" Carla shouted... "Oh shit" He lover mumbled
as he jumped backwards of the old table and went for his
pants... "Johnson, put your clothes on, get your gear and get
out, you've been reassigned!" Walters shouted in disgust.
Carla followed her orders quickly and got out of there as quick
as she could, hoping she wouldn't have to ever come back to this
platoon.
---------------------------------------------------
General Heston walked back into his office and was greeted by a
pretty average looking soldier, nothing unique about him.
..."Who is this and why is he here?" Heston asked.
..."This is Private First Class Joey Hart, one of the very few
men that suit the description you sent out" One of the officers
explained.
..."Really. How good is he then?" Heston asked.
Hart smiled and pulled a deck of cards out of his pocket and
started shuffling them, very casually he pulls out a joker and
flicks it at the table in front of Heston, he slides perfectly
in front of him and then he does it again with the second one,
then he pulls out a card without looking and hands it to the
closest officer to him and then shuffles the deck some more and
holds it open so the officer can place the card back in.
..."Cunning and Deceit, I can go places, no ordinary soldier can
go and I can do things no ordinary soldier can do" Hart
explained while shuffling the deck and then pulled out a card
and showed it to the officer... "This the same card?" He
asked... "Yes" The officer said... "OK, see this card, 2 of
spades, now you don't" He said as he flicked the card up his
sleeve.
..."General Heston, please check your back pocket" Hart asked,
heston stood up and checked his back pocket and sure enough, a 2
of spades.
..."How'd you do that?" Heston asked curiously... "Anticipation,
illusion and deceit" Hart said... "See the card I picked at
random and then picked at random the second time. Slightly
different pattern on the back, easy to spot if you know what you
are looking for. That card in your pocket, slipped it in there
as you walked past me" Hart explained and then pulled the
original 2 of Spades from his sleeve and showed everybody.
..."Now see this" hart said and then went invisble, for exactly
15 seconds and then appeared back where he was standing...
"Solar charged Stealth Boy, but Colonel Closter, check your
pants pocket" Hart said, Closter reached into his pocket and
pulled out a piece of C4... "Defused C4, perfect for an example"
Hart explained.
..."Imagine thousands of Legionaries watching Legate Lanius
spontaneous explode in front of them" Hart stated. Heston looked
over Hart intently.
..."Hart you stay, everybody else out!" Heston ordered.

30 days since the NCR defeat at Hoover Dam
Captain Jack Maxson - He is white, average build, he has short
hair and no beard.
He has all the elements of a great leader. He has accomplished a
great deal in his career and is widely respected, he is also
encouraging and supportive of any troops he leads.
Captain Maxson walked through the tent door and went and took a
seat on a old couch inside the tent and looked around, he was in
there by himself and on a long table at the back of the tent,
were weapons, neatly folded armored outfits, stacks of ammo and
a heap of other random gear.
He sat there examining a particular scar on his hand when the
tent door opened and in walked John Hayes and Emma Thurston.
Corporal John Hayes - He is white, Average build, he has short
hair and chopper mustache.
He is a very Successful sniper, but with that he has become
emotionally detached, although he does share a close bond with
his spotter; Emma.
Private Emma Thurston - She is black Average Build and has a
short ponytail.
She is always far from the fight and is not used to being in
combat, she enjoys being away from the combat because she is
secretly squeamish, and she has a lot to learn and has a close
bond to her teacher; John
..."Captain Maxson" Hayes said in surprise.
..."Corporal Hayes" Maxson retorted. Hayes walked over to Maxson
and shook his hand... "I'm guessing your in charge of this
mission?" Hayes asked.
..."Yes, I'll be the squad leader" Maxson said... "I see. Well
this is Private Thurston" Hayes said... "I prefer Emma sir" She
said as she also shook Maxson's hand.
Hayes and Thurston took a seat at a small round table and John
decided to explain to Emma about the scope glints and after a
few minutes, Private Guerrero walked into the tent and looked
around, he then just quietly took a seat and started playing
with a scab on his knuckle.
Private Timothy Guerrero - He is Hispanic, slightly Shorter than
average, he has short hair and no beard.
He is shy but also very skilled and technically sound, he
learned most of what he knows from an old man that come from a
vault.
Barely a minute passed and in walked Private First Class Carla
Johnson, she adjusted her shirt and went and sat down by herself
in the corner of the room and started thinking about what she
had just been signed up for.
Private First Class Carla Johnson - She is white, busty and has
a short ponytail.
She loves two things in life, trapping and getting laid, she is
the best at what she does because of years of practice.
30 minutes passed of near complete silence except for the
mumbling of John and Emma, about things Emma is going to need to
know on this mission. Sergeant Williams and Corporal Brown
walked in and looked around and they seen Captain Maxson looking
at them with a little smile..."Captain Maxson" Sergeant Williams
said and then saluted, Corporal Brown just gave a lazy salute
and a grin and walked over to Maxson, they took a seat on the
couch as well and began talking.
Maxson, Williams and Brown had all been all served together
before as they were all apart of an operation called Red
Scorpion, where 200 NCR soldiers wiped out a huge Raider Gang
that was attacking NCR caravans, soldiers and citizens. The
whole operation was lead by a Colonel Royce, who died 6 months
after from a heart attack. The whole operation was completed
successfully with only 26 causalities and 300 dead Raiders who
were using hit and run tactics and ambushes.
Sergeant Amanda "Mandy" Williams - She is white, Average Build
and has a long black ponytail.
She is stunningly Beautiful and always shrugs off any advances
from other soldiers even though it annoys her greatly. She goes
out of her way to help people which contrasts her Professional
nature. She learned everything she knows from the followers of
the Apocalypse.
Corporal James Brown - He is black and lanky, he has short messy
hair and no beard.
He is mostly unusually calm about most things, and he enjoys
blowing things up, also he is a good signer.
Wasn't long after they arrived that 3 members of the scouts
platoon walked into the tent, first one in was Sergeant Keith,
he had a smug, disgusted look on his face, he didn't want to be
there, he only had 2 months left and he could walk away from the
NCR with enough money to do nothing for the rest of his life.
The other 2 were Private Danzel and Private Thomas, they were
buddies and weren't happy about being put into a squad.
Sergeant Randell "Randy" Keith - He is Hispanic, Average Build,
he is bald and has a goatee.
Though he is arrogant and brags about himself, he can back up
most of what he says, he is always out to show off and often
succeeds.
Private Chuck Danzel - He is black, Average Build, he has short
hair and a jawline beard.
He is one of the best scouts in the NCR, he oftens seems lost in
his thoughts, when he's actually scanning the area.
Private Theodore Thomas - He is white, Average Build, he has
messy hair and a mustache.
He loves to cook and does it very very well, he is credited with
making Mole Rat meat tasty. Because of his attitude and
abilities he great for morale where ever he is.
Several minutes later, Corporal Barnes and Private Boyd crashed
through the door wrestling each other... "No I'm going first"
Boyd stated trying to get a hold of Barnes arm, "I'm a Corporal,
I out rank you, I'm going first!" Barnes said while struggling
to try and get Barnes in a headlock...
..."Gentlemen break it up!" Maxson said grinning but holding
back the laughter.
..."Oh, hello sir" Boyd said grinning. Barnes just looked at
Maxson with a smile. He was separated from his squad during the
2nd battle of the dam and was dragged into a mixed unit by
Maxson and served with him for about 30 minutes, before he was
again separated and met up with the remains of his original
squad and helped escort medical staff and wounded off the dam,
including Williams, but neither recognized each other due to the
fast pace of the situation they were in.
Corporal Rolland Barnes - He is white, a bit bigger than
average, he has blast back hair and a rough beard.
he is funny and can see the funny side of most situations, he
tends to endanger himself in combat more often than any soldier
should.
Private Robert "Bobby" Boyd - He is black, Average build, he has
a Mohawk and a full beard.
He has a need to break into places, just to see whats inside,
this skill has brought him praise and trouble.
10 Minutes passed and General Heston walked in with Joey Hart
and they were supported by some armorers and some Officers as
well.
Private First Class Joseph "Joey" Hart - He is white, average
build, he has short hair and no beard.
He is very average looking, nothing unique about his looks, he
is talented with cards and many other things he does.

30 days since the NCR defeat at Hoover Dam
..."Ladies and Gentlemen shut up and listen. I am General
Heston, some of you know me and some of you don't. But that's
not why we are here. All 13 of you are going on a very dangerous
and very long mission behind enemy lines. Each of you are here
for your skills and for no other reason, tonight you will be
given a kit and a weapon depending on the your position, unless
you want to keep your Service Rifle. It's up to you... Anyway
Captain Maxson has all your tasks and I expect them done as they
fit right into plans to retake the Hoover Dam, get your gear and
get a good nights sleep you move out at dawn." General Heston
explained.
..."Sir! Do we get any compensation for this?" Carla asked
..."Yeah write your name and personal details on that chalk
board over there, when you get back, you get a large sum of caps
and a property of your choice in the NCR and if you die, your
next of kin receives a bigger lump of caps" Heston said and then
continued on his way out the door.
..."Alright everybody gets this armor called Prolonged Combat
armor... You kits is basic, a 45. Pistol, 2 Grenades, a knife, a
machete, a spade, a Canteen, a flint, and a lighter. You each
get other things depending on your position, I'm not explaining
it. But just so you know. Captain Maxson - Squad Leader...
Sergeant Williams - Medic... Sergeant Keith - Survivalist...
Corporal Barnes - Heavy Gunner... Corporal Hayes - Sniper...
Corporal Brown - Demolitionist... Private First Class Johnson -
Trapper... Private First Class Hart - Infiltrator... Private
Guerrero - Technician... Private Thurston - Sniper... Private
Danzel - Survivalist... Private Thomas - Survivalist... Private
Boyd - Technician" Explain Lieutenant Walton.
Time passed as everybody collected their gear and quickly went
to bed to try and get as mush sleep as they could.
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
The next morning as the sun rose in front of them, the squad
walked through the Mojave outpost, they were all trying to get
used to their new gear and the three who took the new weapons,
Barnes, Hayes, and Thurston were getting used to them, even
though the Hunting Rifles were slightly more modified than there
old rifles and Barnes loved the Automatic Rifle from the moment
he picked it up.
But everybody else decided to use their Service Rifles, because
they had used them since they joined the NCR and wanted to use
something they already knew how too.
The guys on the front line watched and saluted everybody as they
walked through the small passage way between the sandbags,
barbed wire and wooden spike hell that was the official border
of the NCR territory although the Mojave Outpost stationed
troops regarded the border as the farthest their best sniper
could successfully kill any target.
They walked down the hill silently and cut left and started
walked along the ridge over looking the I-15, they walked along
silently, all wearing sunglasses, authority shades or just
tinted glasses... "So tell me what the fuck is the point of this
suicide mission?" Keith asked.
..."It's not a Suicide mission, we're out here for a reason and
we're going to make it back once we're done" Maxson stated.
..."Bullshit sir!" Keith said.
..."Listen Keith, just shut up and accept you're here, if you
don't you gonna die" Maxson ordered and Keith kept quiet for a
little while.
..."So whats our first mission Captain?" Barnes asked.
..."We're heading to Mount Charleston, we're going to take out
the Legion Camp there and then make Contact with the Super
Mutants".
..."Johnson, you ever fucked a Super Mutant?" Keith yelled out.
..."Get fucked Keith, you jackass!" She yelled.
..."Sergeant, shut the fuck up!" Maxson yelled at Sergeant
Keith.
..."Come' on..."
..."One more comment and you'll be taste testing every bit of
water we come across!" Maxson yelled at him.
The group walked along the ridge, getting closer and closer to
the Legion infested Primm, it was the Front Line for the Legion,
they were out of range from the NCR snipers and it was an easily
defended position.
..."Alright up ahead we're going to be climbing rocks to avoid
being seen by the Legion in Primm, if you're not climbing or
helping somebody climb, keep your eyes out for the Legion!"
Maxson explained to his group.
The group reached the rocky ridge behind Primm and started
looking for somewhere to climb... "hey, over here looks good"
Joey said pointing to a low spot on the rocks... "Keith you go
up first, Barnes give him a boost" Maxson ordered. Barnes went
over and help Keith up the rock, he climbed up and looked around
with his gun ready... "All Clear" He called back down. Barnes
breathed deeply and jumped up, he grabbed hold of the rock and
dragged himself up... "Can't move in this fucking gear" he
grumbled.
Then he helped everybody up as Keith kept watch and once
everybody was up, they walked across the rocks until it was too
rough and steep to follow and climbed down of the rocks and
continued walking on the west side of the 1-15. Eventually
reaching Goodsprings source. They stopped there too take a
break.
..."Refill you're canteens and get as much of that water into as
you can, might be a while, before we drink fresh clean water"
Maxson advised.
..."How are we going to go through Goodsprings?" Hayes asked.
..."Keep a low profile and cut up behind the houses on the West
Side of town" Danzel suggested.
..."We could go out the far east up the hill to Cemetery" Thomas
suggested.
..."West side would be quicker and they get some pretty mean
scorpions out that way" Maxson suggested.
..."In 5, we'll move out, Danzel you take point, avoid any
contact with the Civilians" Maxson advised his squad.
It wasn't long and squad were sneaking through the town and were
heading up the back road quickly to avoid any attention...
"Legion patrol down the hill" Danzel called back. Take up ambush
positions, Carla set up a wire booby trap on the road.
Everybody rushed into positions and Carla came out and set up a
powder charge on either side of the road and set a wire between
the two. The Legion patrol came up the hill, the first Legionary
walked straight over the wire and it hooked on his leg and
dragged the powder charges into each other, they started beeping
and the Legionaries spread out but it was too late, and the
powder charges exploded, killing three of the eight legionaries.
The remaining five spread out and started looking for targets,
Barnes popped up and fired a few shots and killed another
Legionary, a Legionary charged at him just after he ducked back
into cover, Mandy popped up and put 3 bullets into the stomach
of another Legionary, at the same time Thomas dropped another.
Maxson then popped up while the last 2 were shooting at Mandy.
He put 2 bullets into each and they fell down, one was dead, one
was mortally wounded.
..."Get this fucker off me!" Barnes yelled and Hart being the
closest rushed over and shot the Legionary in the head, his body
slumped and rolled off of Barnes, Can't move in this fucking
leather shit" Barnes yelled as he struggled to get up off his
back... "Thanks Joey".
..."Look at the big tough man, he was tiny and he had you
pinned!" Carla teased and Barnes didn't say nothing, Maxson
looked at the bodies and then at the sky, he looked at his
watch, it was getting close to 3pm.
..."Search the bodies for anything useful and hid the bodies and
then we'll head down this way" Maxson explained. The squad
started searching the bodies and dragging them off the road
while, Barnes sat on a rock with his knife, cutting his sleeves
off and cutting a bigger head hole, he picked up the left overs
and stuffed them in his bag and put his knife away and then
tested his movement.
The group went off the road and down a small valley with dead
humans and cazadores scattered throughout... "hey Barnes, is
that any better?" Danzel asked curiously... "Way better!" Barnes
said..."I might do mine as well" Danzel suggested.
----------------------------
Yes I finally got on with it and I changed a few things, cause
now everybody but 3 are using Service Rifles and I got rid of
the personality descriptions, so I can develop characters as I
go.
Any comment is good, please criticize something!

Cheers OG.
I am about to go and change Corporal Dukes name, to Rolland
Barnes, because that is more of a common name.
and I want everybody to have more common names.
So yeah, I'm just going to change his name where I have put it.

31 days since the NCR defeat at Hoover Dam
The squad walked down the canyon with Hayes on point walking
along with his Hunting Rifle ready, in case there were still
cazadores buzzing around. A single shot rang out from Hayes's
rifle... "I think we're clear" Hayes said still scanning the
area ahead through his scope. Thomas stopped at a banana yucca
fruit and grabbed as much fruit of the plant as he could and
continued walking with the group.
They reached the tribal camp and stopped, they each looked at
the dead fiends and the dead khans and the dead villagers that
must have been caught in the cross fire..."Come' on" Maxson
ordered and started walking, the rest of squad followed and
Thomas grabbing some Xander root at the top of the hill. Another
single shot rang out, this time it was from Thurston's rifle...
"what are Purple Gecko's?" She questioned.
..."Fire Breathing" Keith stated.
..."Barnes you and Boyd can carry that, find a strong stick"
Maxson ordered.
..."Danzel, can I borrow your hatchet?" Boyd asked and Danzel
nodded and grabbed his hatchet from his bag and handed it to
Bobby Boyd.
..."What do you think happened up there?" Mandy asked.
..."Khans and Fiends saw an easy target and arrived at the same
time" Maxson stated.
..."Everybody stop here" Maxson ordered and then went for his
map, Barnes and Boyd were tying the dead gecko to a small tree
they found, cut down and stripped of branches and leaves. Danzel
looked around the area for any dangers and Thomas was checking
the water in the pond they were standing next to.
..."Alright, is there another way to Charleston mountain other
than along the outskirts of the West Vegas?" Maxson asked while
checking his map.
..."Yeah we can go though Red Rock canyon it's just that way a
little bit, it's a hell of a climb and around this time, the
Cazadores are usually going nuts up there!" Danzel said.
..."Fuck the cazadores I'll send em extinct!" Randy Keith said
arrogantly.
..."yeah we haven't got enough Anti Venom for that!" Thomas said
cheekily.
..."Look they’re pretty docile, early in the morning aren't
they" Mandy asked.
..."Yeah and it might be an easier climb out of the heat" Danzel
said.
Maxson studied the map a bit longer while thinking about what to
do. They couldn't go through West Vegas, scout reports said that
the Fiends are still running a muck and the Legion is patrolling
that area in swarms. They couldn't climb the hills in the heat
of the afternoon, especially with angry Cazadores waiting at the
top.
..."Alright, we're going to find somewhere to camp, get a good
sleep and a have a good meal and climb the hill before dawn and
get through the hills while the Cazadores are still docile
enough. Is that water drinkable?" Maxson explained and then
asked.
..."No but it's lightly irradiated, I can purify it with a camp
fire and a couple of Rad X pills" Thomas explained.
..."Alright, Boyd, Keith, Carla and Joey you go and find
somewhere safe to sleep in Red Rock Canyon" Maxson ordered.
..."Why there” Carla asked
…”because the Khans might have left something there before they
were sucked up by the Legion, maybe a house or something" Maxson
explained.
..."Mandy and Thomas you start purifying that water, Barnes,
take a defensive position at that ruined house in case more of
those geckos are snooping around, Hayes, Thurston taking a
position on those dune looking things over there and watch the
road and everybody else on me, we're going to scavenge from that
camp back up the hill. Maxson ordered. Barnes and Bobby
suspended the stick holding the gecko between two trees and
everybody went about their orders.
Mandy and Thomas started a fire and started building it up.
Hayes and Emma jogged over to the dunes and found a good place,
they both laid down and started watching the road, Hayes showing
Emma a few things while they kept watch. Barnes climbed to the
top of a pile of rubble and sat down dangling his legs over the
edge.
-----------
Maxson, Guerrero, Danzel and Brown walked back up the hill to
the tribal village and started grabbing, pots, pans, bottles and
whatever else they could use to hold water.
..."So how long have you been serving?" Thomas asked Mandy.
..."Almost 8 years, when we finish this mission I should be up
for reenlistment" Mandy explained.
..."8 Years? How old were you when you started serving?" Thomas
asked.
..."I was 17, I was trained in medicine by the Followers since I
was a kid and I decided to increase my knowledge by doing a few
years of service, when I was asked to reenlist I was happy too
because I enjoyed the rush of combat, but now, I've had enough
and I'm tired of getting shot at" Mandy explained and Thomas
listened intently..."How about you?" She asked.
..."I joined because I had nowhere else to go, pretty soon I
discovered I was a good cook and wherever I've been in my 3
years of service, I've always been the head cook, which I don't
mind, I enjoy it actually" Thomas explained.
..."So... I bet you get hit on a lot, huh?" Thomas asked.
..."It's endless back at the base, I was at McCarren for a
little while, at least 15 times a day while I was there" She
complained.
..."Well out here, you won't have to worry about that, too much"
Thomas said.
------------
..."Hey I trust Maxson, but I got just one problem with this"
Boyd said as they into the canyon.
..."What would that be?" Joey asked.
..."Why does Thomas get to stay with the hot chick?" Boyd asked
cheekily.
..."Hey, I'm right behind you!" Carla said angrily.
..."Boyd, shut up and have some respect!" Keith ordered, acting
professionally. This confused both Boyd and Hart, because of the
hard time Keith was giving Carla before they reached
Goodsprings.
..."Alright, didn't mean nothing by it" Boyd responded.
..."Good" Keith said sternly.
..."Check that house on cliff up there, that looks like a good
place" Hart pointed out.
..."Let's check it out then" Keith said.
The group walked up the hill and eventually reached the old
house, it was standing sturdy and fine, but everything else was
trashed and burned... "Boyd, get the door" Keith ordered,
assuming it would be locked. Boyd went to the door and tried it
and then started picking the lock without hesitation.
..."Got it" He said and stepped back from the door as it opened.
..."Carla, check for traps" Keith ordered. Carla obeyed and
carefully walked through the door making sure there were no trip
wires, she looked around the dusty insides of the house, she
watched the floor as she walked around and checked every room.
..."Alright it's clear" She said. The rest of them walked in and
searched the house, it was void of everything but the furniture.
..."Okay, Boyd and Hart, you two go back and get everybody else,
Carla and myself will stay here and guard the house". Keith
stated.
..."Alright sarge" Hart said and tapped Boyd on the shoulder as
he turned around, they both walked out the door and started down
the hill.
..."Keith is going to try and fuck Carla" Hart said to Boyd,
..."I don't doubt that for a second. In fact he's probably
already putting the 'moves' on" Boyd said and Hart laughed.
..."What's your whole take on this situation" Boyd asked Hart,
changing the subject.
..."Well, I don't think it's a bad idea. I think the longer
we're out here, the more fucked up this whole thing is going to
get" Hart said.
..."Glad i'm not the only one who thinks that" Boyd said with a
slight grin.
--------------------
..."Hey, I'm sorry about what I said before we got to
Goodsprings" Keith said while standing just outside the door to
Carla who was leaning against one of the posts outside the house
watching Hart and Boyd walk along the bottom of Red Rock Canyon.
..."Don't worry about it. Thanks for defending me on the way
here" Carla responded.
Carla stood there silently for a moment and then turned around
and looked at Keith, she walked slowly to him and looked him
directly in the eyes.
..."Hey long since you have been with a woman?" She asked him
with a smile.
..."Since I was last on leave, about a month before the dam
fell" Keith said.
..."Seeing as we might be dead before tomorrow night" She said.
They locked lips and Carla jumped onto Keith and wrapped her
legs around him, he carried her and both their rifles inside and
kicked the door shut behind them. They started undressing each
other and Keith put Carla down back first on the table.
-------------------------
Maxson, Guerrero, Danzel and Brown walked back down the pond
where Thomas and Mandy were still talking, they dumped, dozens
of empty bottles, pots, containers and cups.
..."Alright started collecting water" Maxson ordered.
-----------------------
The Squad walked up to the house in Red Rock Canyon where Carla
was standing outside waiting and Keith was sitting inside
smoking to cover the smell of sex.
Maxson lead the squad into the house, where they dumped all the
extra stuff on the big table.
..."Search the old tents around here for bed rolls and old
mattresses" Maxson ordered his squad after searching the old
house.
..."Sir, may I start cooking the gecko?" Thomas asked.
..."Yep, Danzel, help him out" Maxson ordered.
Thomas and Danzel went outside to where the Gecko on the stick
was hanging between the posts, Danzel started a fire very close
to that, while Thomas went inside and grabbed a small table. He
brought it back outside and started cutting pieces of meat of
the Gecko.
..."What are you cooking?" Barnes asked as he was carrying a bed
roll into the house... "Gecko Kebabs" Thomas said as he
carefully cut meat from the Gecko.
Maxson walked to the edge of the cliff and looked to the back of
Red Rock Canyon and looked at the cliff they were going to have
to climb. He looked at the steep, unforgiving slope and hoped it
wouldn't be slippery.
