M soon got sick and tired of sitting in a corner and clutching her gun, boredom was starting to take over as the hours passed. She stood up and started exploring the wrecked out house she was in. Maybe there is something to scavenge in here. Even a rag could be made into some kind of clothes so she would have to sit around in the buff anymore.<br/><br/>She walked up the stairs and began to search through the empty rooms. When she came to where the master bedroom was, she jumped, startled by what was inside. She scolded herself after she regained her composure, she forced herself to look again. Inside was a large bed, two skeletons laid on the ancient rat eaten mattress. One had a handgun still clutched in it's hand. She walked over to grab it and saw something on the floor. It was a photograph, tattered and faded by the sun but she could still make it out. It was this loving couple that were now no more than skeletons. Back before the fall of civilization, they had taken this nice picture of them sitting in a sunny field, big smiles on their faces and hugging each other. She turned back to the bed and realized that the two skeletons were holding each other in an eternal embrace.<br/><br/>But unbeknownst to her, outside Marauders had snuck up. Stopping their engines early and coming in toward the house on foot, they hoped to catch whomever was inside by surprise. They surrounded the house, blocking all the exits and now they were closing in.<br/><br/><br/>**********<br/><br/>Jacks knew the jig was up, he went to raise the axe and kill Hector, but the wily gangleader acted faster. His own cybernetic arm moved as fast as Jacks did and he reached out and grabbed the axe holding it in place. Hector slammed forward in a headbutt and cracking the helmets facemask and Jacks synthetic nose. The blow to the head scrambled Jacks system momentarily. Hector didn't hesitate, he used the strength of his artificial arm and forced Jacks to the ground.  Once on top of Jacks he set to slamming the androids head into the ground several times. He forced his knee into Jacks' back and then reached for the baton strapped to his belt. The two familiar electrodes pressed into Jacks' flesh and a second later the electromagnetic pulse shut Jacks down.<br/><br/>"Well lets just see whom we've got here." Hector said as he reached down and pulled the helmet off of the Sentinel. "Well I will be damned, I am sending out all my guys to search for you and you end up coming right to my front door. Momma always said I was the lucky one of us......MEN!  He come get this thing and chain it down in case it wakes up again. And find out what happened to Joe if this thing is wearing his clothes. " Hector shouted down the hall.
