Betty - Commonwealth
*FUCK THIS SHIT, FUCK IT, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!* Betty ran through the woods heading north. She was running away from the crater. She had joined up with the Children of Atom out of need. She didn't want to be out in the wasteland, struggling to live from one day to another. She faked seeing Atom and joined up with the Children for the room and board.
Everything had being going well, until this so called Inquisitor showed up, dressed as if for battle. Like hell she would die for their stupid beliefs. Everyone in the crater and lighthouse were whispering and talking of how men such as the Inquisitr are zealots, and dangerous. She was getting out before it was too late. Her problem was she didn't really know area and only knew way to the tin town north of the crater.
She reached outskirts of the town and stopped before what appeared to be a wall forming. She stopped to catch her breath, and started to check out the place. She saw a red building with a sign above it. She laughed at the advertisement for some sort of 'Pleasure Den'. Luckily, the place in front of her said Diner
She snuck along the wall of the diner and saw some cellar doors. She looked around and made sure no one was looking. She pulled a bobby pin from her hair, a swiss knife from her pocket and began fiddling with the lock on the door. She managed to unlock it, and slowly pulled one of the doors open, and made her way in, quietly closing the door behind her.
It was dark, and as she stumbled around she could hear the rumbling of old fridges. She felt around a wall and she walked feeling for a light switch. She found one and flipped it on. She looked around the room and saw that there was another room and headed over there. She slowly opened the door and it revealed a bedroom with an open door revealing a bathroom. She started to rummage through a nearby drawer, but all she could see was mens clothing.
She scoffed at the poor selection of clothes, but she needed to wear something else, all she had were her old COA rags. She pulled out a black undershirt, and khaki pants that could pass for some shorts if she cut the legs. She stripped of all her clothes, and stood there naked as she used her swiss army knif to cut the pants.

Ace looked towards the door, and Sara had returned with that strange fellow from the previous night. âSorry that I stepped out Ace. I needed a breather, found this poor thing while I was out.â Sara gestured to Tom as he came in the door behind her. âHeâs buying.â
Ace shrugged his shoulders, "As long as someone pays, I wouldn't care if you were dining with the devil himself. Though knowing you, he'd rather starve." Ace smirked as he said that, and turn to see them seating on seperate booths. Ace shook his head and rolled his eyes. He patted the man on the back, "Don't worry buddy, it's mostly an act. She is in fact a sweetheart."
Ace was turning back to the elderly woman, when he saw the some light coming from the hatch behiind the counter. He would never leave it on. "Excuse me folk, I'll be right back. need to get something from cellar."
Ace made his way over and opened the door, and slowly walked down the stairs and closing the door behind him. He pulled out his pistol and flipped the safety off as he made it down. There was someone in his room, and he made his way over and pointed the gun, "Freeze." But as he said that he saw before him stood a naked young woman, and he quickly tuned his headbut catchng glimpses at the same time.
"Fucking Hell! Old man...Don't you know how to knock?" Betty said as she stared him down.
"Damn woman, put your clothes on...besides this is my place. Why should I knock?" Ace said as he turned around, but glancing back again.
Betty shook her head and rolled her eyes, "Whatever old man, you perv..." She put on the balck shirt and the pants that were now turned to shorts. They were loose on her, so she walked over to Ace and reached for his belt. She undid it and put it on herslef to make her new shorts fit. She winked at him smiled. "Listen old man, name's Betty. You own this here joint?'
"Listen I'm only 33, so cut it out with the old man shit. Besides, why would I hire someone that just broke in my house, and stole my stuff?" Ace said as he put away his pistol and crossed his arms.
She adjusted her pants and looked up at Ace, "Listen old man, I need a job, and i can pay you back for this shitty shirt and shorts. Long story short, just ran of way from the children and need place to stay. So lets go old man, I know how to prepare some food."
Ace had been considering hiring one or two new people, the town had grown, more people were coming and Ace was getting a bit overwhelmed. He shook his head for ab it, "Fuck...Fine but you better actually work. Come on you start now, name's Ace, you better "
Ace headed for the stairs, and Betty followed behind. She smiled, "But dont think you'll get another peek for free. First one's free, second peek will cost ya. Also, i expect 2 weeks paid vacation and sick time."
"Whatever," Ace mumbled as he headed upstairs. He walked into the diner and returned to the older woman's side, "I'm sorry about that, new employee arrived, had to take care of some business."
Betty saw a pad and pen laying on the counter. She grabbed along with a towel she put over her shoulder. She walked over to a woman and man sitting on two booths and she approached the woman first. "Name's Betty, I'll be your waitress today. What'll you have toots, and make it snappy. Ain't got all day."
