Chapter One
Vault 99

Theo lay awake on his bed and took a deep breath, life was good he had food to eat, water to drink and most importantly, a roof over his head to keep the radiation out. His clock alarm sounded, Theo wished he could lay here all day but he had work to do. Swiching his alarm off he grabbed his towel and went off towards the de-com showers because, even in Vault 99 germs got in. But not radiation, they were safe from that. On his way, Theo passed Miss King. The middleaged lady smiled as he went past. Theo smiled back. "Morning miss King" he called out. "Morning to you too Theo." She replied. "My you are getting tall." She then let out a small timid laugh and went back to tending to her flowers.

Theo smiled and kept walking. Miss King had made that joke every day for the past year, Theo was 19 now and was very tall for his age but when he was younger he was the runt. The whole Vault seemed to find it comical that he may have just done all his growing he hadn't gotten round to over the last 18 years on the night of his 19th birthday. Miss King especially liked the joke because she herself was so short that to her, even some of the youngest dwellers seemed tall.

Theo reached the showers, locked the door and stripped off. His was to work in maintenance today, he'd been looking forward to it all month. He's be working with the head of maintenance who was also Theo's teacher, Bob Featz. Theo had know Bob all his life and, after Theo's parents both died, his mother from child birth and his father three years ago when a platform collapsed and he fell to his death, Bob was there to look after him.

To get in to the maintenance wing of the vault, you had to go through de-com first. Theo didn't mind though, all the Vault 99 dwellers enjoyed a good clean after all, why shouldn't they? It's like the Overseer always says "A clean vault is a happy vault."

Twising the water nob, Theo felt the clear warm water run down his body, washing out the germs. Washing out the imperfections. Making him clean. Theo took his time in the shower, it was 9:00 and he didn't need to be at work untill 10:30. He had more than enough time for a nice long shower. Maybe he'd even stop off at the diner on his way, grab himself a pie or two.Strange Meat Pies they called them, because noone other than the cook really knew what went in to them.

Theo felt clean again, he gave himself another few minutes in the shower before switching off and activated the auto-dryer. As the dryer powered down, and Theo pulled on his work clothes for the day something felt wrong. That's when he heard the alarms and the screams. Rushing to the door he glanced out of the window and saw, to his horror that his worst fears had come true. Some how, against all odds there was knee high water flowing trough the vault, but not the sparkling clear water from the showers and taps. This water was green and murkey. Full of impurities but even worse it was full of radiation.

Theo fell to the ground gasping for air. He ran his fingers through his messey light brown hair and rubbed his eyes. "Okay" Theo muttered to himself, his voice was shakey. "Okay, I'm safe in here, the door's air tight and there air's filtered so I'll be fine. Yeah, I'll be fine. Oh god, no, no, no. They're all going to die or ogo crazy and then kill me. I need to get out of here, I need to find somewhere safe. Anywhere safe. I need a weapon." Theo remembered the armoury, it was just through the maintenance wing, he'd need a security card to open it but it was his only hope right now. Theo grabbed one of he Vault 99 radiation suits off a near by peg and pulled it on over his own clothes. Lucky for Theo it was basically his size and fit like a glove, well everything except the gloves did. They were a little tight but it would have to do. Theo left De-com via the maintenance exit and cautiously made his way down the half flooded hallway. As he walked he could still hear the screams of the other dwellers, every now and then he passed a window and looked in. Most rooms were empty but in one Theo saw two residents fighting each other with lead pipes. Theo didn't want to watch anymore and pulled himself away, in his mind they were both doomed anyway, the radiation would take care of that.

Theo finally reached the armoury door, but it was locked. Suddenly Theo heard splashing behind him, he turn around to see a man, soaked in irradiated water moving towards him. The man was covered in blood and had a few small cuts on his face and hands, in one he was clutching a lead pipe. Theo tried to back away but he was cornered and the man kept coming. "Stay back mutant" Theo said loudly pointing at the man. "Theo? Theo is that you? It's me, Bob Featz. Listen we have to get out of here, I have the armour key card. The others they..." But Bob was cut of because Theo had dived at him, pushing him to the ground and pulling the lead pipe out of his hand. "Theo, I..." But again Bob was cut off, this time by Theo smashing him round the face with the pipe. "Theo please..." Theo hit him again and again. Bob's screams only seemed to spur Theo's rage as blow after blow he beat the helpless man to the death. Eventually, by the 12th or so blow Bob had stopped moving. Theo tossed the pipe asside and looted the key card from the man's body.

Swiping it through the lock the armoury door opened, inside there were many security outfits, small pistols and batons but these were mear toys to what Theo had his eyes on. He walked to the very back of the room and approched the highest shelf from which he pulled the leight wieght flamer. A small smile crossed his face, this was the perfect weapon for the job, small but powerful. With a new weapon in his hands Theo made for his next goal, the vault exit.
