Nate walked across the desert and approached his home, which he built using a crashed airplane. He used the broken off wing and the top of his house to hang up his laundry. He had a small shack right next to the plane, he had made a small balcony with a bench. And he had a fire starting in the front yard. Nate walked to a crashed and mostly sand buried car sitting next to the plane just 10 or 20 feet away. He opened the trunk and looked through the wires and scrap metal he has collected. He shut the trunk and walked to his shack. He walked inside and laid on the single bed in the corner of the room. He leaned back and closed his eyes.
The night came and he heard a noise. He opens his eyes and reaches beside the bed and grabbed his FN 509 tactical pistol and slowly stands up. He sees a shadow walking into his room. He reaches for a lantern on the table next to his bed and turns it on. He sees a girl standing in his home and he aims the gun at her head. "Hey! Don't move a damn muscle!" Nate said as the girl holds up her hands. "Don't shoot!" The girl shouts as she stays completely still. Nate looks at her and says "Oh yeah? And why shouldn't I? It seems to me that you are either tryin' to kill me, rob me, or kidnap me." The girl stayed still. "I didn't know anyone lived here! I-I'm sorry sir! I just needed shelter!" She said as Nate looked at her. Upon further observation, he sees that she is completely soaked from head to feet. It was raining outside. Nate sighed and asked, "Why are you outside in the rain?" She closes her eyes and says "They are looking for me…" They both began to hear a car right outside. "Get down!" Nate whispered and pulled her down. Nate then motioned for her to hide under the bed. She crawls under the bed and hides quietly.
3 Raiders walk in Nate's home. A Raider smiles and pulls off his hood when he sees Nate. "Howdy, Partner. We are looking for a little bird that tried to get away from us." The raider said. Nate spoke up "Well it sure as hell seems they succeeded, I haven't seen anyone" Nate stared at them with his fist clenched. The Raider said, "Hey Barns, beat some sense into him so he can tell us where he is hidin' her." Another Raider walks up to Nate and swings his fist at Nate. Nate catches the raider's arm and slams the back of his fist against the raider's throat.
The raider immediately falls down and goes completely limp. The last two of the raiders flinched and backed up. "Leave my home and I won't kill the two of you." One of the raiders walks outside slowly. The last raider smiles at Nate and runs at him. The raider rams his shoulder into Nate's abdomen and knocked Nate against the wall. The raider punches Nate's face and Nate slams his fist into the raider's ribcage and continues to do so. Nate grabs the raider's neck and plants his feet on the wall. Nate leaps off and spins in the air, and both he AND the raider hits the ground. The raider doesn't move again. Nate snapped his neck.
Nate slowly stood up and he hears the car outside drives away. The girl crawls out from under the bed and says, "Y-You killed them?" Nate looks at her and says "Yes, let's get you some new clothes. Nate walked to a closet made of scrap metal and opens it, Nate grabs a brown jacket, blue jeans, and a white tank top and hands it to her. "Change," He said to her. Nate notices that her clothes were mostly torn. She begins to remove her clothes, Nate sat on the bed looking down. "So," Nate said, "What were the Raiders doing with you?" He asked.
"What do you think? As soon as raiders see a girl they do everything they can to 'pleasure' themselves" She said without hesitation. "There WERE four raiders, let's just say that they didn't get too far," She said again chuckling a little bit.
Nate looks up at her and says "You gotta name, Miss?"
She turns around, now fully dressed "Lola, My name is Lola," She said to him. Nate nodded "Do YOU gotta name?" She said as she stands in front of him. "Nathan Barren, just call me Nate," he said to her. She chuckles a bit and says "Wow, last names? You are a prick!" She says to him. Nate looks up at her and scoffs.
