Raiders. They're known for being ruthless people who steal whatever they can and get a kick out of murder. They often make little places in the commonwealth their base, some only having about 3 men to guard it and kill whatever unfortunate soul comes their way, or about 30 Keeping a hold on a large area. They had met the latter.

It had been a struggle, and Rachel realised soon after she had killed the last raider, they wouldn't have survived without mac cready. She wondered because she was now inside this universe, if she would reset. Regenerate back to life after death...or if she wouldn't. It was a Scary thought. Rachel and mac cready were busy taking all the ammunition from this construction site, and while ivy ran around checking bodies and containers for money, Karis had sat at the cooking station and was making food. Rachel went to Mac cready and showed him the handful of 308.'s she found. He took them.

They all sat down in a little wooden hut to eat their food. Ivy counted the bottle caps she collected. "120 bottle caps." She announced after. Mac cready raised his eyebrows, "That's a lot!"

"Last guy was loaded, he didn't even have any bullets." Ivy took the bullets she found and set them between Rachel and Mac cready. "We're splitting all thst, right?" Mac cready asked, nodding to the bullets. Rachel nodded silently. They split it and then slept in the sleeping bags they found. In the morning Rachel was the first awake. She got up and went hunting, Not realising Maccready was following her.

thirty minutes later she was stalking some Brahmin. When she aimed the gun at the creatures head, there was a snap behind her and it's head jerked up. She shot it before it could run away, then calmly looked to her right and behind her. Mac cready gave her a apologetic grin, Walking up to her, "You shouldn't be wandering on your own."

"I can take care of myself."

"well you can shoot."

"why aren't you with them?" Rachel turned away from him and started towards the Brahmin, "Because they're safe. You're the one out here on your own, with your back open to anything and everything." He leaned against a tree.

"Excuse me-?" she turned at him angrily. He only huffed, then turned and started back towards the others. By the time she had grabbed the Brahmin and started dragging him, she finally noticed. There was a dead feral on the ground, and judging from where it died and how it was on the same path she had made, it would have killed her. If there wasn't a bullet hole in it's skull.

mac cready killed it. I wasn't careful. She thought as she dragged back the Brahmin, darn. I really am glad we have him. She smiled.

She dropped the Brahmin. Macceady was running at her full speed, "They're gone!" He gasped, "They're both missing, they aren't anywhere!" he turned and ran with Rachel as fast as he could to keep up with the thin brunette. She stopped at where she saw the two last. Their Sleeping bags were empty, and looked as if Karis and Ivy had been dragged out of them.

"They Were gone when i got back here..." Mac cready was out of breath and leaning against the wood of the little hut. "I'm...I'm so sorry, i should have stayed..." He paused. He waited. For her to shout, for her to shoot at him. They were family to each other, those three, and hadn't he just separated them? "Aren't you gonna say something!?" he exclaimed after what felt like a life time.

"Mac cready..." Her voice was dangerously calm. "We're going to find them, And whoever took them is going to pay." She turned to him and their eyes met. He took a breath and gripped his gun, "Right...but...where do we start?"

Her eyes fell to the ground, where the farthest sleeping bag rested about two feet away from her feet. Upon closer inspection, there was a large Glob of blood. She walked in that direction, and there was more, smaller, but there. Fresh. "They left us a trail."
