Benson House (10:16 a.m.)

Our beloved protagonist silently admired the two-story house in front of her, but unlike the previous one; this one was in poor condition because it was missing a large amount of wood on the right side.

Before entering the house, the Saiyan woman made the peace sign to her fellow adventurer; who was about to defuse a land mine near a lawn mower, and the latter upon seeing her returned the greeting with a small smile.

"I just hope I don't find any more ugly surprises..." muttered Goki with a sad tone; at the moment he took his right hand towards the doorknob, and then turned it without caring about the creaking sound; that he made because of his superhuman strength.

Once she entered the house, the black-haired woman with black hair in the shape of a palm tree found a suitcase in bad condition next to the kitchen entrance; on the right hand side was the entrance and on the left hand side was the living room ... She obviously didn't think twice and rushed into the kitchen with much enthusiasm, but what she found was not what she expected.

"Food-"

The Saiyan woman suddenly fell silent when she saw that the kitchen fridge was in simple words ... Shattered, as the door had been ripped off by mere brute force; and the contents of the refrigerator were all over the place, obviously all long gone.

"... No food..." whispered Goki sadly, as his coal-dark eyes observed the opened food packages (made dusty) and broken drink bottles on the floor; he even saw the refrigerator door on top of a wooden table.

With nothing more to do in the old, trashed kitchen, the woman in the exotic orange-and-blue dress left the place; and next she entered the living room of the house (hoping to find something), where to her discomfort she saw something on the stairs.

"... Another corpse," Goki said to herself when she saw the lifeless body of a looter right next to the staircase railing; almost on the verge of falling off the second floor ... She quickly decided to ignore the guy's body, though.

The Saiyan woman to avoid the looter's corpse levitated to the stairs (seeing how unnecessary it was to climb them), then headed to the second floor hallway where she gently rested her feet on the wooden floor; which creaked because of how deteriorated it was by the passage of time.

"Maybe there's another book that will be of use to David," Goki said with a thoughtful expression; but once again he fell silent when he saw another corpse of a person at the entrance of the first room on the second floor.

The black-haired woman with palm-shaped spiky hair murmured a few words to the lifeless body of the stranger who was not a looter; and stood for a while in silence to pay her respects. After this, she made her way to the first room on the second floor; and again, got another surprise.

"... Another n-children's room." Goki almost stuttered at the sight of the bunk bed filled with toys and comics, which like the rest of the house were in poor condition due to dampness and the passage of time.

Silently, the Saiyan woman backed down the long hallway; and left without taking anything from the room out of respect for the children who once lived there.

"Another book!" exclaimed Goki happily (leaving aside his sadness), as he leapt towards the desk to be within reach of the dusty book; which he was quick to grab with his right hand.

The skill book is titled: D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine. Volume 2, which grants knowledge and secrets about the skill Medicine to the reader who was interested in it.

"I don't know what it will say ... But I'm sure it will do David some good!" said Goki aloud, while a determined look formed on her face.

The black-eyed woman lifted her gaze from the book because something else caught her attention; and she saw that it was only a safe that was behind a bookcase.

"Another safe for David to open..." muttered Goki with a small smile, as she took her gaze off said object; to start looking around the main room to see if there was anything else interesting, she could take with her... Where he found nothing of use.

After this, the Saiyan woman kept the book in the golden Hoi-Poi capsule and left the main room walking quietly down the hallway until she reached the stairs; where she again levitated 30 centimeters from the floor and headed (without looking back) towards the entrance of the house.

With David (At the Same Time)

The Lone Wanderer was loitering near the second house that Goki had entered to investigate.

"That's seven land mines deactivated..." muttered David with a tired tone, while at the same time he turned on his Pip-Boy with the intention of looking for a drink.

In a green glow a bottle of Nuka-Cola appeared which the blond grabbed with his right hand.

"I wish there was a way to make them again," David said to himself with a nostalgic sigh because he remembered that in Vault 101, they had their own Nuka-Cola machine.

After finishing his drink, the blue-eyed young man again used his Pip-Boy 3000 to disappear in another green glow the empty Nuka-Cola bottle; once he did this, he headed towards the next house to clear it of the land mines around it.
