Six's pov

As I woke up I remember what happened yesterday and chuckled a bit. I saw Dutch come up to my tent "hey Six how you settled?" He asked me "I'm doing alright Dutch." I said as I got up "that's good son just make sure whatever money you get the camp gets it's share alright Six." He said as he pointed at the lock box "Alright boss I'm going to go bounty hunting or something like that." I said as I got my boots on. I started walking to get food when a dragon of a woman came up to me "oh no no you are going to wash before you go!" she yelled as she slapped me across the face and pulled me to a bucket of soapy water I looked around and saw Arthur lughing at this encounter she waited as I grabbed some of the soapy water and scrubed my face with it as I dried off and put my clothes back on she waited near my tent I pulled out a few dollars "here for your troubles." "Thank you Six" she said as she grabbed it and went away. I walked over to the horses when I saw Sadie again I walked up to her "Oh hi Six." she said as she was cleaning a gun "~hello beautiful~" I flirted as I winked most people would have been slapped but due to my skills with ladies she blushed a deep red and said "T-thank you for the complement Six your not to bad looking yourself" she said embarrassed "why thank you Sadie." I said happily.

I then walked over to the horses and saw Arthur talking with an old man as I walked over. "Look he could be the other fool Arthur please." The man begged Arthur as he looked at me and said "Only if Charles, and you come along too Uncle" Arthur said "But I can't I have lumbago" he said as we all looked at him with a bullshit look "ok then fine let's go" he said again as we saddled up Charles look at me as I stuck my hand greeting him "my names Six nice to meet you Charles." "odd name Six sounds fake" he said "I don't remember my real name so I came up with Courier Six after my job title" I explained to him "ah I see." He said "So you're a tribal right? You got the look of one from a tribe I helped out." I said he looked at me and said " I may be a Indian but I ain't a part of a tribe." "Alright then lets get moving fellers." Uncle said I rode close to Arthur "how you get wind of this, old man?We've only been down here all of five minutes." Arthur asked "well, while you boys been off fishing or... playing lawmen or whatever the hell you've been doing, I've been getting down to business." He said "by business do you mean finding the nearest whore house." I joked "hey, if you don't want in on this, Six, that's fine by me. Do us all a favor. Head home." Uncle replied "just give it a rest, you two." Arthur said annoyed "just have a little faith for once, will ya?" Uncle said "I've been scoping jobs like this... since you fellers were knee-high to a grasshopper." He continued "Once a decade, maybe. So what is it you've scoped here, exactly?" Arthur said "Oh, I told you... there's a wagon with a lockbox passes through every week. They switch outriders just north of here but the front wagon's... by itself for a strech before the last run down into Rhodes." Uncle answered as we stoped "Okay, hold up here." He said "We should cover our faces." Charles said I looked at my pip-boy and materialized my ncr ranger helmet and my medicine stick "they'll be passing through the crossroads up ahead." Uncle informed "When?" Arthur asked impatiently "Soon, Morgan chrissakes. It should be due any time now." Uncle said let's keep this quiet and clean. Nobody needs to die here." Charles said "there you see, gentlemen? Just like clock work." Uncle said as we rode towards the wagon.

"Stop the wagon!" I yelled as I pulled my medicine stick off my back I levered the gun when he didn't stop and pointed it "I SAID STOP THE DAMN WAGON!" Yelled again the mask muffling my voice. "Woa..." one of the driver said "Now don't try anything stupid." I said as I aimed down my sights "And we won't do anything unkind." I continued "you know, boys... I... don't, I don't want to get shot," one of the driver said "but this is a mistake. I work for Cornwall Kerosene and Tar... Mr. Leviticus Cornwall." He continued "oh great..." Arthur annoyed "so you know him?" The driver said "who doesn't?" Charles said "I hear he's rich enough to share the wealth around... and not miss it too much." Uncle said "oh he'll miss it." The driver said "Okay, one of you check around the back." arthur said to us as Charles got off his horse "Six, help me out here." Charles said as I got off H/N I went towards the back and said "now let's see what's inside." As I started hitting the lock and opened it I saw a lot of cash "Okay, we're looking good. Must be nearly a thousand here." I said "Shit!" Arthur said hey I think i see something." He continued "ahh, great." I said as I looked back and saw a wagon with two people on it "He's being robbd up ahead!" Yelled one of the drivers "let's go. Six let's go!" Uncle said as I ran to my horse and started riding "Light a shuck, boys! Get rid of these sons of bitches." yelled Uncle as we ran Arthur spoke up "Nice going, Uncle! Most guarded wagon in goddamn history." He yelled at the old man "How was I to know? Uncle answered "Well, probably because you got info on the wagon dumbass!" I yelled at the old man "Everyone stay tight!" Charles yelled to us "ride fellers, come on." Uncle said in panic. As we got off the main road and started heading towards a forest "keep going!" I yelled to everyone as we got to another road Arthur said "Where the hell ae we going?" "Getting out of here! What kind of dumb question's..." Uncle screamed "dig in, boys, come on." As we took a left turn I was in the back "come on Six!" I heard Arthur said as we moved on the roads "Quick! Get off the trail, into the woods." Uncle yelled as we rode into the woods "Let's shake them and get back to camp!" Uncle said "No, we need to find a place to lie low." Me and Arthur said to the old man "we can't risk leading Cornwall's men to camp." Arthur continued alright." Uncle said as we rode up to a house and a barn "woah let-let-let's hide in here." as Uncle pointed to the barn "quick." He said again "Go on... get out of here." Yelled Charles to his horse "get outta here, go on... I'll see you later. alright, let's get outta sight. Come on." He said as we made our horses flee we went into the barn we'll stay until dark and... and then we'll sneak outta here. Charles, you keep watch for now." Arthur said "sure." Charles responded "while we uh... get some rest." Arthur continued
