NCR Patrol

Tack and Madeline didn't speak much as they traveled with the Powder Gangers. After Tack had confronted Madeline she preferred silence, or the banter of the other Powder Gangers.

Even as she began to think of her plans for the Powder Gangers, Eddie, and Tack--a sudden shrill voice broke her from her wool gathering.

"NCR!" a Powder Ganger yelled. Everyone took cover.

"Gotta be NCR." the scout said a bit more subdued now that the immediate excitement was over.

"What are we gonna do boss?" A dirty faced man no more than two years older than Madeline asked. Tack stood silently.
