Madeline went looking for some extra Bartering Goods (Caps)

Madeline knew she would need some extra items to help barter with the people of the wasteland, if anyone was left alive anyway. She didn't know who exactly would be topside. Hushed stories of the mutations of mankind from all the fallout abounded within the vault. Some people thought that human life would have become entirely extinct. Madeline wasn't so sure and figured there must be some people still alive out there. If she could get some extra leverage to help in a barter deal, it might prove valuable.

Madeline walked the utilitarian corridors of the vault down to one of the residential wings. She knew she would probably have to deal with Lawrence Copeland, the Chief Engineer's son. He was always privy to lots of doings in the vault as his father was basically the number two man just after the Overseer himself. Because of this Lawrence had a lot of extra stuff. Among them was an old pre-war silver coin collection. When Madeline was younger and all the kids ran around the vault Lawrence would show off this collection and everyone wondered at it. Since the Vault didn't use money the concept was always intriguing. Of course there was informal bartering but with everything strictly rationed the concept of the pre-war coins always fascinated the kiddos.

Madeline knocked on the steel hatch that led to the Copeland housing area. Mrs. Copeland, an older woman nearing fifty answered.

"Oh Madeline!" She said, her eyes brightening up with a smile "How are you? You haven't been by for a visit in a while. You looking for Lawrence?"

"Hey Mrs. Copeland," Madeline smiled at the graying blonde hair of the woman who led her inside "Yeah, I know I haven't been by as much like I used to. Had a lot of training with my dad trying to learn to be a doctor like the GOAT said."

"Well, it certainly is an admirable profession. Lawrence is supposed to be studying more of his father's work but I don't think he is too serious about it." Mrs. Copeland shook her head. Lawrence only got the position of Engineer because of his father's position in the vault and every one knew it.

"Is Lawrence here?" Madeline asked as she looked around the living area at the lavish environment.

"Ah yes." Mrs. Copeland pointed "He is in his room. Right this way."

"Lawrence, you have company." She knocked on the hatch of the door loudly. She was fairly certain her voice would not be clearly heard but she knew the knocking on the thick hatch would work.

After a moment the hatch door opened and revealed Lawrence, in his vault suit and wearing sun-glasses. His dirty blonde hair closely cut. He smiled when he saw Madeline.

"Hey Maddie," She grinned "Long time no see."

Madeline rolled her eyes at the use of her childhood nickname. Lawrence always seemed to like rubbing that in since he knew she hated it.

"Can I have a word?" Madeline said slightly irked.

"Come one in." He said gesturing for her to come in his room. "Thanks ma."

"I will leave you be. Good seeing you again Madeline." She smiled the smile of a homemaker.

"Thanks Mrs. Copeland you too!" Madeline said as she stepped into Lawrence's room.

"So whats up?" Lawrence said as he took a seat the lone chair in the vault's room.

"I need something." Madeline said cutting straight to the point. Lawrence had always been a bit of a snob as they grew up and his father's position in the vault only fed into that ego. Lawrence had also made plenty of overtures to Madeline but had been rejected.

"This isn't a social call? Tisk tisk" he shook his head in mock displeasure.

"Look," she said putting her hands on her hips. "I need your coin collection."

"What? My coin collection? That ancient junk? What for?" He laughed in disbelief.

"I am going outside the vault. I am on the mission to leave and I need it to help me maybe barter a bit."

"Wait." Lawrence took his sunglasses off "You're serious?"

"Yeah why the hell else would I ask for it?" Madeline said crossing her arms, unconsciously pushing her breasts out as she displaced her womanhood with her arms.

Lawrence saw the subtle move, as any man would, and his eyes lingered a bit before continuing.

"Well...you think it will be useful?" he questioned his eyes drifting down her body. He had always longed for her. She was probably the most beautiful girl in the vault, at least Lawrence figured that.

"Yeah, if there are people up there still I might be able to use them to barter. Surely silver is still valued? Its been valued for like--ever."

"Hmmmmm." Lawrence thought for a moment. "Whats in this deal for me?"

"Ummmm you'd be helping the vault? You would be helping me." Madeline put on an obviously fake smile.

"Maybe we could...work something out?" Lawrence gave her a wink.

"Are you serious?" She grimaced.

"I mean why not? I have something you want and you have...." He eyed her up and down "Well...something I want."

"You are kidding right?" Madeline said perplexed. She could not believe the gall of Lawrence.

"Norman said you certainly were skilled with your mouth." He grinned wickedly.

His evoking the name of Madeline's ex boyfriend, whom they had been pretty serious for a while made her stare daggers. Norman must have been done some serious kiss and tell.

"Oh yeah?" She said, her voice tinged with anger "I guess Norman wasn't so skilled with his mouth because he couldn't keep it shut. What did he say exactly." The last word sent like a dagger.

"He said a LOT." He threw his hands up as if acting defenseless and innocent. "Like how you two would skip senior classes sometimes and...well he said you don't miss a drop. He also said you two went all the way."

"That little shit." Madeline cursed and paced around the small room angry at Norman for telling the vault about their little trysts. They had started off like every stupid barely legal couple. Heavy petting, then oral, then sex. She couldn't get pregnant, not till 25 thanks to the Birth Control implant in her body to regulate overcrowding. Hell everyone was sleeping around, there wasn't anything else to do in the vault. That is why she wanted to get the hell out of the vault. She had to get away from this prison. Madeline wheeled on Lawrence .

"Look what do you...want?"

"If you are trying to barter up on the surface--lets barter here. What are _you _willing to give? If you let me fuck you I will give you half my coin collection. But...I always wondered if Norman was telling the truth about your mouth. If its true that you 'don't miss a drop'....then you can have all the coins." Lawrence said smugly.

Madeline could not believe it was coming to this. She could offer Lawrence a blowjob but she felt revolted at the idea. And then to actually swallow his cum--his cum. Ugh. She could just put out. Surely it would be a quick fuck and she could move on. She didn't want the entire vault to know she was sucking everyone's dick.
