Chapter 133 - Boone! Headshot.

After having found the proof they needed, the duo immediately headed to the watch post in the mouth of the giant dinosaur to find Boone.

The man was surprised to see them and immediately asked why they'd come, a prominent scowl forming on his face when they told him the news.​​

"Jeannie May was responsible?... I. Why would she do something like that?" he mutters in confusion, clearly not having expected it... "I need proof, how did you find this out?"

Afton hands him the receipt and the man reads it with trembling hands, after a couple moments of glaring at the paper he raises his head and states, "That bitch is dead."

Karl gives a slow nod, "Believe me kid, we hadn't expected this either. Can't believe I bedded that cunt."

"How do you want to deal with this? We can't exactly kill her in the middle of town, almost everyone would defend her. And that's not mentioning her being the unofficial leader of Novac." Afton says.

Boone double checks to makesure there's a round in his rifle before shaking his head, "I don't care if I become an outlaw. I'm putting a bullet between her brows today." he states as he tries to walk past the duo.

Afton grabs his shoulder to stop him, "Man you gotta chill for a second, we got time to come up with a plan. Jeannie ain't going anyway, what're you even going to do after murdering her?"

Boone brushes his hand off and shrugs, "Travel. Visit some Legion camps maybe."

"Sounds to me you're planning to die not so soon afterwards," Karl states with an empythetic look.

"So what if I am? It's none of your concern. Once I've gotten revenge for Carla, I'll let the world decide my fate. I've done many things, some good, some neutral, and a lot of evil. I don't know is karma exists, but if it does then I don't have too long left in this world anyway. Now get out of my way so I can do what I need to."

"Boone just calm down, I've been meaning to ask you since we got back from Nelson. Do you want to join us?" he asks.

...

Both Boone and Karl seem confused at this, "What?"

"Join us, your vendetta against the Legion will suit the party fine as we intend to cause chaos for them. Not to mention your skill with a rifle, there's only so much the two of us can accomplish on our own. Plus, snipers need their spotters right?"

...

Boone snorts, "Hn, I guess. Let... Let me think about it, for now I want to deal with Jeannie. If you two have a plan then tell me, I want to get this over with as fast a possible before she has a chance to run.

Afton looks to Karl, "Couldn't you just lure her outta town? You're still technically involved with her right?"

Karl shrugs, "She's upset with me right now, I spun a tale about us planning to charge at the Legion in order to save Carla, she didn't like that in the least. That's actually what led me to find the evidence."

"Just makeup with her then, I'm sure a man of your... Charm, would be able to do it?" Afton says semi-sarcastically.

"Fine, but I'm not poking her with little Karl again. Knowing how black her heart is it might rot off." he states causing the other two to grimace.

With the plan set, Karl leaves to go "make up" with Jeannie, he'll do this by badmouthing Carla and then telling her that he refused to follow Afton to his death for some "slut". He'll then take her on a "date" out of the settlement on Boone's shift so Manny wouldn't spot what's up.

Boone and Afton deposited themselves behind a rock a mile or so away from Novac. In the distance they could see Karl walking up while holding Jeannie May's hand. She had a content look on her face as she held Karl's arm intimately.

Afton chuckled as he could imagine that Karl was about to either throw up or blow her head off. He glances at Boone who's trying to kill her with his glare, "You alright?"

...

"Yeah, just thinking what's the best way to end her. I'm not one for torture, but..." he mutters with a thoughtful look.

"Do whatever you want, for all intents and purposes, she's yours to do whatever you want with. We're far enough away from Novac that her screams won't reach them either, so, go ham."

Boone nods and they continue to hide as Karl and Jeannie finally reach their position.

"What are we doing here Karl? You don't want to do 'that' here do you? You bad man."

Karl grins at her, "You know me too well Jeannie. I am a terrible, terrible man."

"Well then, why don't you show me how terrible you are... Right here, right now." Jeannie breathes lustfully.

"Okay." Karl states as he heads butts her while grabbing the revolver strapped to her side, pulling it from the holster and leaving her defenceless. Her nose instantly breaks, causing blood to start streaming down it at the unexpected attack.

She fearfully looks up at him from the floor while holding her nose, "K-Karl, what was that?"

As this happens Boone steps out from the cover and starts walking towards her, Afton slowly following. "Jeannie May. It's good to see you." the former states through gritted teeth.

"B-b-boone? What're you doing here? Ah, help, this man just assaulted me!" she exclaims after overcoming her confusion and pointing an accusatory finger towards Karl.

"Oh, I'll help you. But you have to answer a few questions of mine first." he says, holding his rifle up threateningly.

Karl goes along with whatever he was planning and holds his hands up non-committaly.

Jeannie quickly nods, "Yes, anything!"

"Good. Now, what did you think of Carla... My wife."

"She... She was a beautiful person, a shining example of-"Bang!*

A bullet passes through her foot as Boone cuts her off, she instantly crawls into the fetal position while screaming and holding her foot.

"Wrong answer." Boone states as he pulls the bolt on his rifle to ready another shot. "Try again."
