The Swap Over
"AGH!" Piper screams as the decontamination arch sprays her when the pair make there way into the settlement.
"Really?" Nate sighs "I thought you would be used to it by now."
"No matter how many times I've been here I always forget that it's there!" Piper wipes her face and pats down her coat.
"General" A security guard nods to acknowledge Nate's presence, Nate smiles and gives him a nod back.
"Why do you have so much security, we don't even have this much at Diamond City!" Piper asks
"We get a lot of raiders through here and the health and safety of my settlers are my top priority."
"You're so kind and caring" Piper smiles in admiration "that's something I can't fault you on."
"Thanks Piper... Oh Piper, I was wondering if you could meet me and Cait at Spectacle Island this evening. I'm going to see Preston at the Castle with Cait, then going onto Spectacle Island."
"Of Course Blue" Piper turns her head from Nate to look in front of her, as the pair begin to turn a corner further into the settlement Piper catches a glimpse of Nick, "Nick!" Piper calls out
"Hmm, could've sworn I just heard Pipers voice...better run some diagnostics just to make sure I won't be falling apart anytime soon." Nick says in his calming deep tone. Piper runs up to the prototype synth "You're not falling apart Nick!" Piper says jumping on and hugging him from behind, stopping him from running his diagnostic. "Piper!" Nick spins around "It's so good to see you, what are you doing here?" Nick's smile grows from ear to ear.
"I need to talk to you, I've got some information about the institute I wanted to talk to you about." Piper informs Nick. Nick and Piper could talk on end about anything and everything, the pair were great friends Nick being a detective and Piper a news reporter the two made a great team, whether Nick needed help investigating a case or Piper needed help snooping around for her upcoming article, together they could take on anything.
"Well hey there handsome" Nate heard a very familiar Irish accent coming from behind him.
"Cait" He smiled as he turned around to see her "How are you feeling?"
"So much better now that you're back." she flirts "So you ready to head off?"
Nate looks back to see if Piper was ok to be left here whilst Nate reported the success to Preston on clearing out Sunshine Tidings Co-Op. Piper looks over at Nate and gives him a nod of approval before Nick begins to escort her to the bar.
"Ready" Nate nods
"Well let's get moving."
