I drove the car to Bailey's Games, I was curious on what they have there.

The moment I parked the car in the parking lot Bailey came out with a shocked face.

Robert exits the car...

Bailey: You have a car?!

Robert: I sure do, Joey's Car Dealership has Cars underground in perfect conditions.

Bailey: I was going to close my shop because nobody can play video games anymore since the Bombs fell, my friend Joey never told me he had cars underground.

Robert: Can I look at the Games real quick?

Bailey: Sure, if you have caps you can buy games, just know their 60 Caps each.

Robert looks at the games...

Robert leaves Bailey's Games and gets in his car...

Robert drives his car to Healdsburg Bounty Office...

Robert enters the Healdsburg Bounty Office...

Receptionist: Aren't you a little too young for Bounty work little boy?

Robert: I have a car so I'm the best Bounty Hunter in this Town.

Receptionist: We will see what the boss says about that.

Bounty Hunter Rex: A Vault Dweller looking for work?

Receptionist: How old are you?

Robert: 8.

Bounty Hunter Rex: Where are your Parents?

Robert: Dead, well my Mom is at Healdsburg Elementary School.

Bounty Hunter Rex: You mentioned you have a car?

Robert: Yeah, I drove here.

Bounty Hunter Rex looks outside...

Bounty Hunter Rex comes back inside...

Bounty Hunter Rex: Lucky for you I got a hose to clean your car.

Bounty Hunter Rex turns on the hose and cleans Robert's car...

Robert: Wow!

Bounty Hunter Rex: Do you even own a gun?

Robert: Yeah, my 10mm Pistol is customized.

Robert shows his customized 10mm Pistol...

Bounty Hunter Rex gives Robert a Bounty Hunter Duster and a Bounty Hunter Badge...

Bounty Hunter Rex gives Robert a list of Targets...

Bounty Hunter Rex: I need their fingers as proof of the deed, the details I gave you on the list tells you how much Caps I will give you per kill.

Robert gets in his car and goes to Tarpon's Gambling Den...

Robert arrives at Tarpon's Gambling Den...

The Target #1: That Ghoul cheated and took all my Caps!

Bouncer: Get out of here or I will punch your lights out.

The Target: I will sue you and that cheating Ghoul!

Bouncer gives the Target a knuckle sandwich...

Bouncer: Do I have to throw you in the trash?

Robert: This can't be my Target.

The Target pulls out a gun...

The Target: Give me my Money or I'll shoot your eyes out!

Bouncer: Go fuck yourself, you lost fair and square.

The Target shoots the Bouncer in the head...

Target: That Ghoul used her own cards to win, the game was rigged!

Robert shoots the Target in the head...

Robert takes the Target's finger...

Robert drives to Barter's Donut Shop...

Target #2: There's no Caps in the Donut Shop?!

Barter: You won't get away with robbing me.

Target #2: I will have fun killing you if you don't shut up!

Robert comes in aiming a gun at Target #2...

Barter: A little Kid with a Bounty Hunter Duster?

Target #2: Drop the gun or I won't hesitate to blow your brains out.

Robert shoots Target #2...

Robert takes a finger...

Barter: You look too young for Bounty Hunting.

Robert: I need the Caps and I can shoot a gun.

Robert walks out of Barter's Donut Shop...

Robert drives to Spa House...

Robert arrives at Spa House...

Target #3 relaxing in a Spa...

Target #3: The Raiders paid me a lot of money to sell their products in the container I haven't opened yet, it must be very important at that cost.

Robert enters the Spa House...

Robert aims a gun at the third and final Target...

Michel tackles Robert to the ground tying his hands together...

Michel: Boss, this Kid was seconds away from killing you.

Target #3 gets out of the Spa and walks over to Robert...

Target #3: I need to know what's in the container that's lead to a Kid Bounty Hunter after me.

Michel: Go ahead, this Kid isn't going anywhere.

Target #3 opens the Container...

Target #3: This doesn't make sense, I almost got my head blown up over Baseball Cards.

Bounty Hunter Rex shoots Michel in the head...

Bounty Hunter Rex: I knew I shouldn't have hired a Kid to do a man's Job.

Target #3: Why do you want me dead?

Bounty Hunter Rex: You have a deck of cards that are Illegal, why did you steal the cards?

Target #3: I was given this Container by the Raiders, they paid me a lot of caps to deliver it to the NCR.

Bounty Hunter Rex: I find that very unlikely because the Baseball Cards were stolen from the NCR.

Target #3: I have my orders written down and Ten Thousand Caps.

Bounty Hunter Rex: Take your orders out slowly.

Target #3 takes out his orders slowly and gives them to Bounty Hunter Rex...

Target #3: I'm telling you the truth, I'm just delivering the Baseball Cards to the NCR and making a lot of caps doing it.

Bounty Hunter Rex reads Target #3's orders...

Bounty Hunter Rex shoots Target #3 in the head...

Target #3 dead...

Bounty Hunter Rex: I'm sorry but I can't spare you either, you are a witness to me shooting this fool to take his caps and his Job.

Bounty Hunter Rex aims a gun at Robert's head...

Legate Benjamin shoots Bounty Hunter Rex in the head...

Legate Benjamin: Normally I would kill you as well but you earned your freedom when you killed the leader of the Raiders in Vault Q.

Legate Benjamin unties Robert's hands...

Robert: I'm not interested in joining the Legion.

Legate Benjamin: I'm not giving you an invitation either, this was just a one time thing since it was because of you that I was promoted to Legate.

Michel shoots Legate Benjamin in the head...

Michel: It seems I have to kill you.

Robert shoots Michel in the head...

Robert takes the 10,000 Caps from Target #3's corpse...

Robert reads Target #3's orders...

Robert: The NCR is expecting Target #3 at Martin's Bar.

Robert gets back in his car...

Robert goes to Martin's Bar...

Robert enters Martin's Bar...

Bartender: Welcome to Martin's Bar.

Robert: Where is the NCR table?

Bartender: What does that supposed to mean?

NCR Contact: I'll talk to the boy in back.

Bartender: Okay.

Robert follows the NCR Contact to his booth in the back...

Robert and the NCR Contact sits down...

NCR Contact: You better have a good reason for showing up uninvited.

Robert: The Delivery Guy failed to deliver the Baseball Cards.

NCR Contact: Did you kill him?

Robert: No, a Bounty Hunter killed him.

NCR Contact: It is really important that I get those cards back from my mysterious thief.

Robert gives NCR Contact the Baseball Cards...

Robert: Why did the NCR hired someone to steal their Baseball Cards and return them to you?

NCR Contact: The truth is the NCR has a Legion Spy who infiltrated the NCR so we hired someone to steal the Spy's Baseball Cards.

Robert: Is there a reason why he had a Bounty on his head?

NCR Contact: It is unclear to us who put a Bounty on his head but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Legion Spy.

Robert: Can you hire me?

NCR Contact: You are just a little kid, the NCR only recruits Adults.

Robert leaves the Bar and gets in his car...

Robert drives to Healdsburg Middle School...

Robert parks at the entrance of Healdsburg Middle School...

Outcast Brotherhood of Steel Soldier #1: Do you have a Student ID?

Robert: Why?

Outcast Brotherhood of Steel Soldier #1: Nobody can enter without a Student ID, we are protecting a bunch of Teens who survived the Nuclear Bomb unharmed.

Robert: I see.

Robert walks over to his car...

Principal: Wait, you can enter with an escort if you like.

Robert: Okay.

Outcast Brotherhood of Steel #2 escorts Robert inside Healdsburg Middle School...

Mister Watts: Isn't he too young to be a Student?

Outcast Brotherhood of Steel #2: I'm on escort duty because the Principal said it's okay for him to be here.

Mister Watts: I can fit one more student in my classroom, I'll just give him his grade level school work.

Robert follows Mister Watts to his classroom...

Robert sits at the empty desk...

Robert turns on his Pipboy Radio...

I'm into something good on the radio...

Robert finishing his School work...

Principal: The Outcast Brotherhood signed a contract to protect Healdsburg Middle School after the bombs fell and so you are not permitted to guard this School without signing a contract.

Bartender: That's right and I'm not paying till he gives me what's mine.

Robert: Huh?

Bartender: I deserve a little profit from NukaCola because I helped your Grandpa be CEO of NukaCola, I even helped your Grandma when she was turning into a Ghoul.

Robert: My Grandma was turning into a Ghoul?!

Bartender: Yes, she is still having Radiation sickness but I'm doing what I could to help her, I came in your Grandpa's building and asked if he can help me financially because the price for RadAways keeps going up and he refused.

Christopher: Nick Rhinestone isn't dead, he saved your Mother before the Bombs fell.

Robert: My Mother is half Super Mutant?!

Robert: A Boost?

Nick: You have Super Mutant DNA and my research can further my project by giving you Deathclaw DNA, it is time to make you even more indestructible.

Robert: Grandpa said you and Mom have Super Mutant DNA.

Nick: Things aren't that simple, we made a deal with the Super Mutants to spare us in exchange for you.

Robert: What?!

Nick: Your Mom and I believe you were the first Super Mutant/Human Hybrid.

Robert: What are you saying?!

Nick: You were born a Super Mutant/Human Hybrid, Grandpa was trying not to scare you but you need to know the truth.

Robert: I'm a Super Mutant?!

Nick: We both know you knew deep down that you were different and that Radiation doesn't harm you.

Robert: But I don't look like a Super Mutant.

Nick: I don't understand it either, you are a medical mystery, your mom produced so much radiation into you we thought you were going to turn into a Ghoul but Radiation has no effect on you.

Robert: What to do now?

Nick: Keep exploring and meeting new people, there's not much to do other than survive.

Robert takes the car back to the Rhinestone Farm...
