Hasewega simply turned and walked away with the other pip-boy. She still had a job to accomplish. She put her pip-boy and calibrated it as she walked back to her hiding spot.
Albus quickly gathered the caps and threw them into a pouch on his waist. After a few minutes of counting in his head, he realized he had enough caps to get into the Strip, and hurled some water from his canteen onto the fire. "See you suckers later, I'm going to The Strip!" he cried, sprinting towards Primm.
Hasewega heard the Albus yell about New Vegas before hearing the caps jingle in his pockets. The sound that could draw more danger than its worth. She hurried after at a distance, making sure to keep an eye on his silhouette as they advanced.
"Wha-HEY!" She grabbed her bag which she left on the ground and ran after them,surprisingly able to catch up to them.
"Hey, can I have my hat back?" Duke said, appearing next to Ellis as she caught up to the others. "I'm a Doctor you see; I need my hat."
"Thank you." He said, taking the hat and shoving it back on his head. "I'm Duke. Dr. Duke. I'm a doctor." He pulled out a beaten up brown leather doctor's bag as proof. "Do you want a beer?" He asked, producing a bottle from the bag.
Noticing he was being followed, Albus broke out into a sprint. "Dammit... I knew I should of held onto that Turbo."
She saw that Albus was going into a sprint and she did her best to catch up as well. And as she was running she turned back to Duke. "Maybe later!" She puedo out her revolver and tried to aim for Albus but couldn't. "There's got to be something on this Overgrown wrist watch!" She started looking around on her Pip boy and somehow entered VATS. She was in shock but only for a bit. Using VATS she saw she had a swim 95% chance to shoot both his legs. She fired twice. A bullet for each leg. And the bullets burrowed into Albus' legs,crippling them and leaving him unable to run.
Hasewega descended upon Ellis, bashing the butt of her carbine into the Ellis' head before ripping the revolver out of her hand. "My asset." she hissed as she empty the cartridges from the chamber before tossing the revolver on the ground. She turned her attention to the whistling ghoul. "You." She said before point to Albus. "Fix him."
"Aaah, goddammit!! P-Prof-Profligates! Ah-All of you!" Albus, cried, now lying in the dirt and screaming in pain. The Mojave tasted like sand, dirt, and more sand, though not to Albus' surprise. "You better ho-hope this kills me!"
Ellis luckily recovered consciousness quickly. Her glasses had fallen off and broken. She sat herself up but she had a gash in her head. "Guess even the luckiest of people aren't always lucky." She sighed and saw her glasses and her empty revolver on the floor. "Why did you empty gun? I Only crippled his legs!"
"Sure thing, man!" Duke said, brightly, setting about tending to Albus' wounds; with a combination of Med-X, hydra and some stimpacks, he soon had his legs back in full operation. He coughed. "I ain't a charity ya know..."
She stared for a moment before reaching into one of her pockets and tossing over a hand full of caps at the ghoul. Ignoring Ellis, she turned to Albus. "You, up and get movi-" she was saying before hearing a "tink" and fizzing sound.
She heard the sound too but since she had a rifle jabbed at her forehead she still couldn't tell what is was. "What was that?" Since her glasses are broken she looked around aimlessly. "what the *squee!* is going on?! I can't see *squee!*!"
Hasewega tackled Albus away as a stick of dynamite went off. Before the dust could settle, a group of aged Powder Gangers were already rushing toward them, weapons drawn. "Kill'em all and take their loot!" Yelled the one with sunglasses. "We might be able to leave this hell hole!"
"Damn, those are some nice glasses man," Duke said, taking the speaker down with a couple of .44 slugs, being careful not to aim for the face.
Albus groaned and stood up, still dazed by the dynamite. "Alright, alright... Murdering time, then?" He soon hobbled forward as fast as he could and threw a mighty uppercut at the nearest Powder Ganger's face.
