"Stop it! Yes I get it you now love me unconditionally, but I still need the bandana." Mathew said laughing.

In a rather barren end of Bucket Town, the would be merchant and singer was sitting with his new purchases.

Two puppies.

Both a mixed breed and vastly different from each other.

The longer haired of the two was licking him with reckless abandon, the other chasing its tail gleefully. They had no idea what they were going to be, how some people were so desperate for a good meal that they would eat what was once man's best friend.

His grandfather used to be a scholar of the old world. He would tell on how dogs and other animals were once common as pets, companions, and even tools. They would be apart of the police, the military, and some say they were much smarter than the humans themselves.

Well Bones wasn't sure about that, but he couldn't deny the love Mathew instantly had for the little dogs. The young man loved animals and the past few years of being alone with only Bones for company takes a toll. They had found a six pack of decent beer before blowing into town and went shopping to see who would trade for it. He had no need for ammo or guns, being his hands were still healing. The deal with Bobo for the time being was making him as comfortable as a formerly broke man could be. Tips weren't flowing in when he sung at night, but it worked towards getting somewhat on his feet once more.

While moving about he saw a meat merchant. Bones half glanced at him before Mathew did a double take and it took everything in his power to make sure the young man didn't lose it in right there and now. The man had rusted cages made from old shopping carts and scrap metal and each of them had at least one dog inside, some even had three. Various ages from feral to some somewhat domesticated scratched, howled, and snarled from their prisons at passers by.

"Must do-"

"Mathew, I know you are angry, but may I remind you that this is the wasteland not back home." Bones warned."

"But-But-"

Bones sighed and checked his pack before going over to the merchant.

"How much?"

The merchant looked at him and gave a quick spat to the ground.

"What'cha got?"

"Beer."

The man's eyebrows raised.

"How much?"

"Six, still unopened."

"Show me."

Bones exhaled, but knowing he wouldn't be satisfied. He showed him two of the bottles. He could almost see the merchant's mouth watering.

"I'll spare two of the younger ones. You want them fresh or would you like me to-"

The merchant raised a bloody cleaver.

"Nope. Live thank you." Bones said quickly, taking the nearest cage that held puppies. He dropped off the beer and got the heck out of there before the man got anymore ideas, or worse, Mathew would break anymore of their fingers.


"Now what to name you...."Mathew said allowed, putting down the basset cross.

"I know!"

He pointed to the short hair.

"You're Nuka."

He pointed to the other one.

"And your Cola."

Wasn't Bone's first pick for names but if its their names, its their names. Mathew was still rather childish even nearly reaching 30.

The puppies didn't give one hoot about their new names, but instead pounce on their unmasked new best friend. Mathew had a gigantic grin on his face. He was over the moon.

The mood then soon died as he heard footsteps.

"Took me two months, murderer, but I finally found you."

Mathew's eyes went wide and he froze at his spot on the ground.

Flame glared at Blue as they came out of Bobos', saying, "Do not get in fights with Raider Kids ever again. Do not sneak off like that, too, Cousin."

Blue nodded at that, saying, "So, still going to the meat merchant's? I have a gold watch and I want to see how many Hides I can get for it." He meant Houston Miller's rolex, the antique that was presumably given to him as payment. "And yes, I am changing the subject; we need as much hides as we can get to keep the Church-clinic running assuming we get it." Damnit, why is bureaucracy so slow here?It is a small town!

"You're the boss, Cousin; just remember our promise," Flame then began leading the way.

A few minutes later, they found the meat merchant (the barking of dogs could be heard from a few meters away)...and the mysterious singer from before, who in turn was cornered by what seemed to be a small posse of armed people. Flame, having more experience in fighting despite his lack of book smarts, took charge.

He said to Blue, "Blue, get help. Do not question me."

Blue then ran off, off to Roy's office. Willis and his fellow escaped slaves had found a job there, but were still available for more favors, especially when it gave them something to do and also secured their new hometown.

Flame, meanwhile, took out his Pipe Rifle, and walked over to the posse, pointing it at the lead man threatening Matthew. He would then say, "I am sorry, but are you disturbing the peace?"

There were three men, one holding a bat, the others holding guns. One of the gunners looked up from the yiping and the groaning and gave blue a toothless grin.

"Aint none of your business savage. Just bringing in a bounty. Man is a cold blooded murderer. 3000 caps and a estate for brining his head, double for him alive. Its our mark!"

Flame blinked, then said, "That may be, but this is Bucket Town, and the people here do not take kindly to people from other villages coming in and making trouble. If this man is truly a criminal, we should take him to the Sheriff of this place so that there are no accidents trying to arrest him." A pause. "So either follow the rules of this place and let's go to the Sherriff's office or you leave the guy alone. Quite frankly, I do not believe this guy is a murderer at all; you'd have to offer proof to convince me of that."

The Pipe Rifle was still pointed at the posse. Flame was still confident and cool. Not merely that, but people were gathering to look at the scene; some of them had weapons as well. If Matthew can convince the town that he was a wronged innocent, people would step up and negate the posse's numbers.

"So," Flame said, "Proof first, or you're leaving empty-handed."

The man with the bat turned around after giving one of the puppies a kick trying to defend his new master.

"And share the reward with dog eating savages? Not fucking likely. You aint getting our mark, he is going to hang like his kinfolk did."


"N-N-NO!"

The man with the bat smirked and turned back to his victim.

"That's right. You are the last Constantine, you piece of shit!"

"Okay, die," Flame said, shooting at the head of the main posse member with his pipe rifle. Should he blow it off, the crowd around the disturbance would start panicking and running, while a few would shoot not at Flame, but at the posse. Hey, they did not like being called savages, after all.

If any of the hostiles survived, Blue would finally arrive, swooping in with a half-dozen freed ex-slaves with guns, knives, and machetes. He would then have his friends attack the remaining posse, in order to make sure they are subdued, and then tied up. Having helped rescue Willis and his band of ex-slaves (as well as them still feeling guilty for selling him to that caravan that time) had its small-p perks. Of course, Blue did more than order people around; he, despite his low strength and endurance, also got out his wooden sword and began swinging at the foes.

The man with the bat quickly losed his head.

"Oh god!"

"You shot Johnny! Come here you fucking savage! I'll make it quick."

"Nuka...Cola."

Mathew uncurled himself briefly and grabbed the two puppies, hiding his new friends with his body as the fire fight started.

"I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry." He mumbled.

They soon saw how much they were outgunned.

"Fucking bastards! We'll remember this savages! The mayor will hear about this!"

They started to run.

But it might be too late for them, as Flame just shot another posse member in the back, while the other ran straight into Willis and his gang of ex-slaves, who began to attack him with knives!

"I already called him," Blue said. "I hope he comes. And I also hope that what happened, getting rid of intruders, is good for the town."

The ghoul scratched his head.

"Sounded more like bounty hunters, but hey somedays you can't tell. Is Bones alright?"

Nuka licked his new master and whined.

Blue nodded at that.

Flame, meanwhile, went over to Matthew to help him up, but due to his low perception, saw that the man was injured only just now. He would then say:

"Hey, Cousin! I think we should take this guy to the Church-clinic and fix him up, deed or no deed!" Flame would then look at Willis and the other ex-slaves, before asking courteously, "Will you help us?"

"Sure," Willis said as he and his people were tying up an injured, but not dead, bounty hunter. Two ex-slaves, a man and a woman, then went to help pick up Matthew and bring him to the Church-clinic...

He recieved no response and the poor man was limp in his saviors arms. The puppies whined and barked, following and trying to get their new friend away from the strangers. Their little teeth only managed to grab onto a little bit of denim from Bone's pants.
