Jerry raised his fist to signal the others to stop. He could see the escort just over the rise. Within the escort were four New Paso guards and the prisoner the guards had just apprehended. That prisoner was to make it to Jerry's employer alive. His boys were ready to fight. They were mad over losing their vehicles and being defeated by a couple of wastelanders.
Once the vehicle made it over the rise Jerry shouted, "Let's get em' boys!" Two squads of highwaymen swarmed the escort vehicle. The driver was shot right away by the attacker's sniper. The two guards flanking the prisoner were hit, one by Jerry, the other by Alex. Jerry looked around and did a quick body count. "Three of our boys are down", muttered Jerry. "This ain't good" Just then a second escort vehicle skidded to a stop and three guards hopped out. The driver of the new vehicle was shot by the highwayman sniper. Two guards were shot down.
Suddenly a piercing scream sounded. Jerry turned to see Alex had been stabbed by a hooded stranger. The stranger held an AK-74u and was blasting both highwaymen and guards alike. Jerry shouted to his men to retreat. Only half of the force got away. The hooded stranger walked over to the prisoner.
"My name is Ferrin Contrair. But you can call me Contra." Contra released the man from his shackles.
"Thank you, Contra. My name is Liam," the man said. He rubbed a bruise on his face. "I was a weapons
scientist before the bombs fell. So the USRC sent the New Paso guard after me. When I didn't come willingly they used force."
Contra unholstered his pistol and handed it to Liam. "You will need this if you're going to survive out there. You are welcome to come with me if you like."
"Why did you save me?" Liam asked
"We can't let the USRC have improved weapons now, can we?
