Night closed in, as John drew closer and closer to the burning town of Nipton. Its fires could be seen all the way from the Mojave outpost. 3 Geckos then ran towards John in a seemingly random formation. John pulled out his shiny new Revolver and took aim. 2 bullets flew though the air and hit two of the Geckos in the head before they even got close to John. The third Gecko turned and ran back. “Oh no, you don’t” John muttered to himself as he steadied his aim. He fired a third and final bullet it flew the Geckos head clean off its body. John then loaded several new bullets into the Revolver before walking onwards.
He finally reached the cliffs that overshadowed Nipton. He pulled his newly acquired sniper from his holster on his back and looked down the scope towards the town centre. He could see flags of Caesars legion all around the burning rubble that was now Nipton. He looked around the burning rubble there was nothing but death all around. He changed from looking around the rubble and looked at the town hall. He saw men nailed up to crosses, and Legion soldiers guarding the town hall.
He thought about shooting those Legion soldiers …. And then saving those men who had a fate worse than death, but he didn’t. It would be too risky. He looked down the scope again and saw what looked like the leader of the Legion step out of the town hall. He then handed a Powder ganger a card. The Powder ganger then ran off out the town and off into the wastes. John thought about going back out to Mojave outpost so he could be on this way to catch the thief of the Platinum chip. But he could not leave these men to their fates…..
