Chapter 8 - Anger Bound

*yawnn*

"I slept so good." My eyes flicker open slowly. A Slight smile warms my face. "Honey, wake u…" Where's Chris? My eyes widen "Li?

Low rumble can be a heard as I Breath out.

*huff!*

Focus Lys. Focus! I can destroy that man later. Getting Li home is important.

*Inhale*

1, 2, 3, 4

*exhale*

Breathe anger out, Lys. You must breath it out.

*sigh*

Lets get everything together because knowing him it is going to go wrong. "Who's bag is the biggest? Okay Li, let us use your bag." I unpack everything slowly restructuring it, so the heaviest things are on the bottom. "Why does Li only have food in here? Well in the stomach or in the trash." I barely fit everything in her bag and in my stomach.

*breather*

Time to gather information. My hands grasp a small black cloth that I wrap around myself cloaking my body. The window slides open gently leaving not a sound for me to hear. I slowly climb down the backside of the building sneaking away from the view of the unsightly eyes. The bricks crumble off into a distorted path. It veers out of sight from the main road. Char can be seen built up on it turning the path from a red to an uncanny black. Large poles are rigged in place with decades of patch work. The main power station can be seen ahead.

Who ever is in charge of the plant must know the supplier. Let's get a closer look.

I slowly pass through the overgrown brush and trees in order to sneak pass the guards. The building has red bricks hiding underneath the semicircle black rubber. The rubber is nailed roughly into the building. I move gently to the fence of pure orange. Holes have formed on it. I move through a gap near the back of the complex where I begin my infiltration. My body dances across the wall as I climb the Electric station searching for a way in. I spot a vent sitting near the roof just under the ledge.

"Shhh keep it down, Sirius," says a small blue-green colored man.

"Yes, Pea," answered the scrony orange man.

"We have to find that kid; she could easily fetch us a few ephedra plants from shelter 111."

"What Kid?"

"Oh, just an old worlder."

*smack* "ouch"

"Who goes there? Show yourself"

*shinggggg*

I place sharp blade to Pea's neck. Blood drips out. "You are going to answer me a few questions."

"Boss!"

"Your electricity, where do you get it from?"

"B-beach front."

"Who is in charge there?"

"A man named Stewart."

"Shelter 111, who runs it?"

"La-ady I-I cant tell you"

"Tell me"

*Bang*

I jump back and disappear the way I came in. I have to find Chris and Lī.

*indistinguishable shouting*

*growl*

Those idiots. I hear shouting from behind me.

*hard breathing* I pick up the pace until I come a cross one and two. *eye roll*

—————

With every step the sound gets higher

*𝄢G ABCDE FG AB*

Crowds of people rush towards the stairs.

*𝄢|𝄞C*

This wretched noise. I AM NOT IN THE MOOD

*𝄞DEFG ABCDEFG*

After reaching the top I can see the far stretched moat of death.

I rush forward.

"Lys go first. I throw Lī to you in our decent."

This idiot contantly puttin my Granddaughter in danger. I land and quickly turn around. Chris jumps out towards the roap holding Lī in two hands

*gasp*

Lī is tossed out towards me and I do my best to focus on protecting her.

"Ouch!"

"Let us go, now!"

"Are you insane? You know very well how much danger she is in. Everyone thinks she is an unchanged old worlder. That paints a target on her back. Even with her abilities as a Fall, she is in danger."

"Hun!"

"What's a fall?"

"It's nothing. We can talk about another time."

Fall is short here for fallout in reference to someone at or near ground Zero. The point of inpact would realistically wipe anyone out. I wonder if there is another reason for this genetic line in her family.

Anger can easily influence how we act if we let it. Lys has not eaten which can enhance irritation. She always seems composed, but she is losing control of her emotions. She has to be able to find a balance to get things done.

Reference:

Vault 111 is found in Fallout 4 in present day Virginia.
