--------------------------

On the top edge of a cliff, stood a figure with red hair with tree black horns, wearing a custom crimson and black elite riot gear with a black and crimson cowboy hat. Six was holding his anti-material rifle, a cool breeze from the setting sun cooled his mood, as things were going to heat up.

"Hehe."

Spotting a few silhouettes from afar the ground, Six started opening fire with his anti-material rifle. He quietly and methodically took out gunners one by one, as the Atom Cats joined in firing and shouting.

"Here you go bastards, don't be comin' next time" 

"Seriously, when will stupid squares stop comin'."

Hearing the shouts of the Atom Cats, Six smirked and continued to pick them of. The atmosphere in the ground became bleak and dreary as the gunners started to scurry like mice in panic.

"Huh?"

"What's going on here?!"

Countless gunners were dumbfounded. They had rushed into the Atom Cats Garage with the mindset of certain victory. But in the end, they couldn't reach the Atom Cats Garage because it was floating in the air? After realizing this, they were extremely surprised.

Hurriedly running some tried to make it out of area, as they were being shot, but they immediately recognized, those we're the ones that were being picked out first. Soon it become visible clearly to the gunners, that they were not making it out of this place alive. 

"Kill them!"

"Kill the dogs!"

"What a joke! Were the gunners really this weak?"

Rumble!

The sun rays soon sunk into the dark clouds and the night in the area, a heavy mood was set by the extermination of the gunners.

Rumble!

Rain began to pour down, the sky turned dark, but the roaring lightning lit up the sky from time to time, a raging atmosphere. Six looking at the ruins that gunners once stood, it looked like a destroyed battlefield.

'So, Nora finished Getting a Clue. I'll check Nick's office after I finish checking my level.'

Six checked his main menu, seeing that he had leveled up 21 times. He distributed the points to +65 Intelligence, +50 Endurance, +50 Vigor, +50 Skill, +40 Luck, +30 Resistance. He then decided to us up his gacha tickets getting.

Six put all his prices into production except the Ancient Clasp Neckless, he equipped the necklace getting a +2 bonus to all stats. Once finished he saw he had a new radio signal, the Valentine's Detective Agency Radio, listening to it he heard the message.

"This is Ellie Perkins from Valentine Detective Agency, with a message for Nick's partner. We got a new case and it sounds urgent. Stop by the office, I'll be waiting."

"Setting this to repeat."

Saying his goodbyes to the Atom Cats, Six transported himself to Valentine's office, Finding Nick Valentine's and his secretary Ellie Perkins.

"I'm glad you're here, we got a new case while you and Nick were out. Ready to put on the detective hat?"

"The only thing I'm ready for is danger and awesome."

"I'm afraid hard earn caps has all we've got to offer. Honey."

"So, who's our client?"

"A fisherman whose family lives on the edge of the Commonwealth, Kenji Nakano."

"Kenji Nakano. That name takes me back. My memory is a little fuzzy on the details, though."

"Maybe if you bothered writing beats down, Nick."

"Can't do that. Wouldn't want to put you out of a job.

"Huh, I'll remember that the next time you need me to console a hysterical client, Mr. Nakano didn't leave many details. Said he'd go over everything when you meet him. But if you want my guest missing person case, Guy had a worried look a mile long."

"Anything you can tell me about Kenji Nakano?"

"Just some impressions. He was obviously upset, but he was also in a hurry. Like he couldn't stand just waiting around. I'm a friend of Nick's. He'll remember me. I need his help right away. And then he. was gone."

"He was muttering something on the way out. But no, I'm not sure it was important."

"Come on, Ellie, don't hold out on me. What did he say?"

Well, I thought I heard him say something about a daughter and also a radio. But I might have missheard him. Not sure how the tube would be connected.

"So, is the fedora trench coat mandatory when solving these cases? Because I'm thinking smoking pipe and British accent."

"Hey, whatever floats your vote, gumshoe."

"I'll go check it out. Thanks, Ellie."

"The Nakano residence is up in the northeast near the coast. A small fishing house. He said that he and his wife will be waiting for you."

"That's a long walk. That's how hard cases always start." Nick chuckles as he finished his sentence.

At the end, Six takes Nick to check out this new case. The Nakano house is on the edge of the Commonwealth, traveling to the furthest northeastern corner of the Commonwealth after trudging through the sand and chopping over a number of piles of rock.

Six found the Nakano residence with a boat moored by a small dock just outside as he approaches. He overhears a conversation coming from within the house.

"Dammit. Come in! I know you're listening on the other end! Where is she? Where's my daughter!?"

"Kenji. Please! You've been at this for hours. Stop! You need sleep."

"She's out there, Rei. Someone has her. They could be Raiders or Gunners or god knows what else!"

Heading inside, Nick, ever the polite detective apologizes for not knocking first

"I hope you don't mind. We let ourselves in."

"Nick. Thank god! You need to get to work right away! She could be hurt. She could be. 

Whoa. Slow down. Uh... Kenji, was it? Why don't you go over the details with me and my partner here?

"You brought a partner? Good. The more eyes, the better."

"Yep. That's me. Lonely partner. I don't even get real business cards."

"Uh. right?"

"So, what's the story with you and Nick?"

"Nick didn't tell you? Ran with him on one of his cases a few years back. Searching for some sort of lost heirloom. He needed a boat. Things. didn't end well. We were double-crossed by the client once we had what he was looking for. Still have some lead lodged into my hip."

"Uh... right. Yeah, it's starting to come back to me... Sorry things ended sour." in a tone of not being 100% sure, said Nick.

"We got out, that's all that mattered. And now you can return the favor by finding my daughter."

"We're here to help. Tell us what happened." said Six

"It's all thanks to this damn radio."

"Our daughter Kasumi likes to fix things. The radio was her latest project." said Rei Nakano

"Until she made contact with some kidnappers that lured her away from us."

"Maybe she left in her home. She's not a child anymore! Our daughter is nineteen. She knows how to survive, and she's capable. I... think maybe she left because she wanted her own life." said Rei Nakano

"No, she would've told us where she was going. She would've said. Something! I know my daughter is in danger. I can feel it. Find her. Please."

"Do you have any idea where She could have gone?"

"We know she took one of our boats. But that's all, she could be anywhere."

"We'll find her. Don't worry." said Six.

"Thank you. Her room is upstairs if that helps, and if you had any more questions about her, just ask."

"Don't worry, Kenji. We'll get to the bottom of this. Just sit tight." Nick affirmed him.

Searching around they find the grandfather's grave. In loving memory. Taichi Nakano. Grandfather, sailor, engineer.
