<em> Chris, James and Stacy ducked behind the flaming hummer what was laid on the side. The scent of the burning flesh filled the air as another burst hit the useless vehicle. Chris new if they don't move fast they will be trapped here. Now he lost half of his team, two of them were burning inside the car and one of them was shoot.<br/>"Stacy! Cover us until we reach that dune. From there we cover you."<br/>The woman nodded to him then moved to the edge of the wreck then she started to lay suppressing fire from her browning M2 minimgun. Just a moment later Chris and James jumped on their feet and ran to the cover of the dune. They laid down on the top of it and Chris signaled to Stacy that now it was her run. She started to run but then a burst caught her from the side. The tough and beautiful girl became a cloud of blood and flesh. The bullets tore her apart.<br/>For a moment Chris forgot to even breath as he watched her death.<br/>"Shit. No!" James exclaimed then disappeared next to him leaving his weapon behind. Chris turned over and he saw that thing what grabbed James leg. It was huge but the body still remembered him a human. Or what was a human being at once. The twisted face, the green skin and a lot of bulging muscle. A super mutant. The mutant hold James with two hands at her ankles and tried to pull him down from the dune.<br/>Chris aimed his AK-74 at the mutant and pulled the trigger. But nothing happened. It seemed the weapon had jammed. He cursed and reached out for James' hands. He grabbed them and tried to pull back his friend. James begged to him not let him go but the super mutant was the stronger. But he did his best. Until James began to scream in pain. Blood poured from his mouth then he was ripped in half. Chris could see it from close. He paniced and tried to let go James' hands but he still hold his. He couldn't get free. He just couldn't.</em><br/><br/>Chris woke up panting hard. His forhead was bathing in colt sweat. He needed a few moments to realize it was only a dream. A dream what frequently visited him. He clenched his hand into fists to stop the shaking. Once he calmed down he shook his head. Once he indeed experienced something like this, but the dream was always more horrible.<br/><br/>But he didn't have time for this. He stood up from the rock. As he looked around he couldn't see anything but desert and rocks. However he knew from a traveller that there must be a city nearby. The guy said the city was an old ship. If he was correct then Chris should reach it before sun set. But he couldn't reach it if he just stand there.<br/><br/>So Chris checked his equipment and satisfied that everything still was in it's place he took a gulp from the gourd then began to walk. He started to thinking and tried to remember the name of the city. After a half hour later he got it. If he lucky he will have a dinner in Rivet City.
