Hugh was back in the wastes. After the job for Nancy, he couldn't find any more work in Bucket Town. Luckily, while talking to some traders in town, he heard of this place called Kingsville, where, hopefully, he could get a job. So here he was, almost half way to where Kingsville was supposed to be, a three day walk to the NE of Bucket Town. So far, the trip was slightly boring. He hadn't seen any creatures in the whole walk. He did see a raider band but he stayed out of sight and they soon moved away. Hugh was careful to conserve ammo; All he had left was one full magazine for his gun and a cherrybomb.

Hugh had been walking for almost two days and decided to make camp early. If he didn't encounter any major obstacles the rest of the way, he should be to Kingsville by tomorrow. He set up in a small, sheltered crevice and promptly went to sleep. It was a good sleep, until 6:00 A.M. when he was rudely awoken.

All Hugh felt was a sharp pain on his side. He was immediately awake, with pistol in hand. He look around and saw a man sprawled out next to him. Apparently, the man had tripped on Hugh as he slept. Hugh stood up and pointed his gun at the man. "Get up." he commanded. The man looked at him. "Sorry man, didn't mean to trip on you like that. My name is Dan." Hugh was suspicious of the man but he didn't look threatening, despite the hunting rifle along his back. Soon, they were conversing and Hugh started to like the guy.

Turns out that Dan was heading for Kingsville too. He was from some place up North and was an orphan, like Hugh. He was a hunter and had been out hunting Yao Guai in this area. He had killed two with his rifle and was on the way to Kingsville to sell the hides. They decided it would be safer to travel together and set off for Kingsville.

The trip to Kingsville was short. They ran into a pack of dogs along the way but they were easy to kill. They didn't see anything else during their journey. They idly talked as moved towards Kingsville and Hugh had really taken a liking to Dan. They arrived at the edge of the town at dusk.

Kingsville was not an impressive town. Inhabited by no more than 30 people, it was built into the into the ruins of a small prewar town. Dan led him to a shack on the outskirts of town. As they walked in, it was apparent to Hugh that they were in a store. It was empty, except for the owner, standing behind a counter. After a quick transaction between Dan and the shop owner, Dan asked him where Hugh could find a job.
"Hmm, I heard that some guy named Dobson was asking around for some help. You should go talk to him. He lives in a tent on the other side of town." The shop owner replied.
"Thanks" Hugh simply replied, before walking out with Dan.

Dobson, whoever he was, was easy to find. Most of the houses on the other side of Kingsville were shacks made out of scrap metal;there was only one tent. Hugh and Dan opened the flap and stepped in. The tent was plain, with a desk and simple bed. Currently, there was a man sitting at that desk. He turned his head and looked at Hugh."Dobson?" Hugh asked, meeting his gaze.
"Who wants to know?" Dobson asked
"I'm looking for a job."
"Well then, pleasure to meet you." Dobson said, standing up to shake Hugh's hand. He was a short man, about Hugh's height, but with much broader shoulders. He was very pale; an uncommon trait in the wastes. He was bald wore white, pre-war clothing. "Please sit down" He said gesturing to a couple of chairs in the corner. "What can I do for you two?"
"I would like to know what we can do for you." Hugh said.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a job that you may be able to help me with..."

An okay travel mission. Sorry for the time it took to get graded. We kinda got backlogged. You got a level up, because, well, the four missions combined had to add to something, right? You're getting better, but I still think your style would work better if there was more length.
