Capítulo 660: Familicided?
Anja and Juan were honestly quite lucky that Cass and Afton had extensively infiltrated the NCR already, three or four days wasn't enough to safely investigate everything that would need to be learned to pull off the attack they were planning.
One thing they learned was the extensive security any well-to-do person in the NCR had gotten. The closing in war had everyone scared, which only made it harder for the duo to do their job...
The Brahmin baron in charge of supplying food to the NCR congress building was named Becker Nockson. The man apparently had a large reputation not only among the civilians for his relatively low priced meat, but also the NCR officials who may or may not have funded his business, whether through investments or simple tax cuts.
The man lived in a large, heavily fortified manor that looked to have been renovated from a pre-war manor. The man obviously lived large judging by the large statue of himself standing in front of his home, though, he at least had some sense with the large contingent of mercenaries patrolling his property.
Each man was heavily armed, with rifles, machine guns, and other heavy ballistics. That's not even mentioning the each and everyone was wearing heavy combat armour, and probably wouldn't go down without a fight.
Their equipment didn't really matter all that much however, as if Anja or Juan were to get caught, they'd either die, or Afton would be forced to teleport reinforcements to save them, ruining his plan to cleanly eliminate the opposition.
After all, he was trying to promote his faction as just and morally superior compared to the others... Blatantly assassinating the corrupt NCR leaders with a missile, or a full frontal assault wouldn't help that image.
The security aside, Anja and Juan would need to somehow kill Becker Nockson and make it look like an accident of some sort. If not, it would alert the NCR and might prevent them from picking Samuel to deliver the goods.
Anja and Juan silently observe the manor for a day, mapping out the mercenaries patrols, common routes, and who was involved with them. Sure, it might not be as reliable due to their somewhat unorganised work ethic, but it'd still give them a good idea of what to expect.
Once night falls, they jump into action, both activating their Stealthboys and running to the wall of the manor which had a window open on the third floor. Anja hung from Juan's shoulders as he used his Psyker abilities to silently scale the wall.
Such a method of approach clearly hadn't been expected, which is why they met no resistance when they quietly slipped through the window, ending up in some children's room? It had colourful wallpaper and two beds on one side of the room... Both of which had toddlers sleeping in them...
Juan stares at them momentarily, wondering if he was about to kill their father, but was shaken from his thoughts by Anja, "Ignore it for now, we have a job to do." she chides with a whisper.
She tries to pull him to the door so he can ignore the kids, but Juan accidentally trips on one of the children toy's that were scattered on the floor. The toy crumbles under his foot and starts playing a mangled song, the audio output clearly broken.
This wakes up one of the children who look over and only see the crushed toy playing an eerie song... Thinking that a ghost was in the room, the little girl starts bawling her eyes out, pulling the covers over her head as if to protect herself from the 'ghost'.
Had they not been in an incredibly dangerous situation she'd have slapped Juan for making such an obvious mistake... Invisibly shaking her head, she presses her ear to the door to see if anyone would be coming, only to quickly back away as footsteps rapidly approach the room.
The door opens revealing a tall man, who appeared to be well-built in the past, but has slowly let himself go. This was their target, Becker, what a lucky coincidence... For them at least. The young girl lowers the covers and looks at the man, giving a tearful smile as she shouts, "Papa!"
"What's up sweetheart? Why aren't you sleeping?" the man asks as he approaches the bed.
Anja quickly recognises this as an opportunity and sneaks behind the man as he walks... Just as he gets to the side of the bed, she sweeps the man's forward foot and forces his head downwards with a hand, causing him to stumble and fall... Smacking the side of his head on the edge of the heavy oak bed.
*Craack!*
The sound of something important breaking echoes through the room, shocking the little girl who'd just witnessed her father breaking his neck... After a moment of shocked silence, the girl screams, shouting for her father that'd just fallen.
Anja takes the chance to check the man's pulse while the girl screams, finding it irregular, and slowing. It seems like they'd completed their mission with more ease than she'd first thought. She makes her way to Juan who was standing there in stunned silence and quickly pulls him towards the window, this time making sure he doesn't step on anything.
"Come on, let's go before people come!" she quietly scathes at her out-of-it boyfriend.
"B-but we just killed that guy in front of his daughter!" he retorts with an indignant whisper.
Anja frowns, "We can talk about this later, we need to go!"
Juan relents, deciding that he and Anja needed a long talk after this... Killing the guy was fine, but in front of his kid? That was fucking messed up!
By the time security arrived at the room, the duo had left the same way they came. Silently, and undetected. The daughter would say her father tripped, and that the room was haunted, but her words were either ignored, or to taken seriously at all... While it wasn't all that common, people tripped and perished occasionally... Nothing to be worried about... Right?

Capítulo 661: Moraltry
Once Anja and Juan get back to Cass's shop, they hunker down and awaits any news that could potentially lead to trouble... During this though, the duo engaged in a rather heated debate against one another on whether or not they'd done the right thing...
Anja was seemingly completely fine with murdering a man in front of his children, but Juan being the 'hero' he is, completely rejected such a notion... It wasn't like he didn't have a point either though, morally, what they did was wrong. But, Anja thought that the end justified the means.
After all, they weren't priests, they were infiltrators, spies, assassins even. Juan literally couldn't take the moral high ground as he'd agreed to work this position. Afton had literally written a contract for him that detailed everything he might be involved in or have to do.
Anja had looked over it before she'd lost her eyesight, and whaddya know. 'Committing morally repugnant and borderline evil acts' was literally written down... Juan probably just didn't read through it all, somehow trusting Afton's 'charisma'...
They continued to argue for an hour or so, but Anja finally ended it with "I know you do not like what I did, but this is my job. I will continue to work for Afton, even if I have to do bad things... If you can't deal with that, quit." she states.
Juan scowls for a moment, but relaxes after calming himself. Yeah, he knew what he'd gotten himself into when agreeing to work for Bulwark, but personally witnessing it was another matter entirely... Regardless, he'd be able to think about whether he wanted to continue after they'd completed the mission... Hopefully, it wouldn't involve orphaning too many other children.
A day passes and they heard no word of Becker's death, meaning it was considered either natural, or just an accident. His daughter's statement would certainly promote the latter of which, but you could never be too careful, especially when dealing with a government.
The duo's job was done for now, it was now Cass's turn to get involved. First, they needed to secure Samuel's position in delivering the goods... With Becker's death, the chance of him being called upon was high, but Cass didn't want to risk anything on chance. Thus, she borrowed some caps from Bulwark and purchased all other products aside from Samuels...
Of course, this needed to be done carefully, otherwise they risked alerting the NCR... Thus, they covertly teleported Bulwark 'civilians' to purchase small amounts individually. This wouldn't draw the attention from anyone watching, as it'd just seem like a random influx of people wanting meat...
To promote this further, Cass paid a couple homeless folk to hand out pamphlets detailing the joys of 'BBQ' and 'Cooking meat in exotic ways', by the time two days passed, the NCR capitals meat stores were almost entirely empty... The only person having any less being Samuel of course.
It was inevitable then that Samuel would be picked to deliver goods to congress on the day they would be voting for the next president...
As for what Juan and Anja would be doing during this time? Well, they'd be invisibly posted outside congress, waiting in position in case they needed to do anything the initial plan failed to do.
An hour or two before congress started, Samuel had a couple brahmin pulling a cart with many crates atop it towards the back of the congress building. Despite his outwardly confident demeanor, he was incredibly nervous. He was currently approaching the NCR guards with his product, and knew if they found anything wrong he'd either be instantly killed, or imprisoned, tortured, and then executed.
He'd heard of similar things happening to anyone who tried to rebel against the supposedly 'civil and democratic leaders'. He shakes his head at that thought, the way they acted made him wonder if the NCR was secretly a communist dictatorship hidden under the veil of choice and democracy. He idly wondered if pre-war America was like this as well, or if it was just an isolated incident...
"Stop, what is your purpose for being here." the trooper commands, his rifle tightly gripped in his hands, waiting for an excuse to use it.
Samuel gives a tentative cough into his hand before slowly retrieving a piece of paper... It was the order he'd received from the government, essentially requisitioning his goods so those corrupt officials to imbibe, while leaving nothing for anything else... They were even paying him the bare minimum for his products as well!
Again, he shakes his head of those thoughts and concentrates, handing the paper over, "Erm, it was a bit sudden... I was actually hoping to sell this stuff the next town over, but, when duty calls I guess." he shrugs while giving the soldiers a nervous smile.
The soldier squints suspiciously at him for a moment while gesturing at his comrade behind him. He walks over next to the cart and inspects the crates, taking a sniff to see if whether or not the meat was rotten or not.
His buddy came back with a crowbar in hand, using it to pry open a crate under Samuels aggrieved attempts to stop them... Regardless, his complaints fell on deaf ears as the man finally pried the crate open, revealing many fine-looking steaks covered by coldbags.
The leading trooper climbs atop the cart and takes a couple out, examining them with a smug look. He takes many steaks out and hands them to the other troopers. "Don't worry, just making sure they ain't poisoned or anything... And, er, tax of course." the soldier explains as Samuel goes up to reseal the crate, going slightly pale when he spots the metal exterior of the device he'd been given by Cass, barely revealed under the steaks...
