She smirked at the Junior Paladin, and clearly disliked how they all just walked up to her shop, rummaging through her goods. If anything, that just made her dislike them more, and less likely to get what it was they were after. She replied, "Yeah? Well it's not for sale. Is there something else I can help you with?" She finished on a sarcastic note.

Alex sighed as she noticed the woman was going to be bothersome, walking up to the counter and leaning over it and staring at the woman for a minute or two before she once again sighed and pushed her self of the counter, crossing her arms over her chest Alex took a stroll through the shop as she looked at the various goods displayed throughout the small make shift store as she talked.
"Look, my patience is running thin. I have been stuck in a car for two hours with a moron for a companion who cant for the love of his life stop licking my a** and by god im probably getting sore from all the a** kissing, its warm, im cranky, and i haven't gotten anything to eat. So either we do this the easy way and buy the trinket of you or we do it the hard way and basicly just turn your shop inside out, have you arrested and locked up and take the artefact along with anything else we fancy... So what will it be?" Alex asked as she spun around and looked at the woman again as she grabbed a trinket of one of the shelf's and tossed it back and forth in her hands.

Zeo listened and watched Alex with shock and appreciation. She stared at Sasha for a while and wondered what she was thinking, until something shiny caught her interest. She ducked down and picked up a strange artifact and started examining it.

As Annette wandered through the collection of various mechanical items, occasionally sneaking one or two into her backpack, she spotted a locked steel door in a dark corner within the room. Approaching it, she noted that no traps were present to disarm. Silently going down to one knee and removing her set of lockpicks from her back pocket, she set to inserting one of the steel wires into the lock and with expert precision managed to get the handle turning to the right. Without a sound she cracked open the door and peered inside of the room. It was unlit, but with the small amount of light that was leaking in from the room she currently occupied she spotted a civilian-issue vehicle from before the war and a few tools and car parts strewn about.
While Sasha's attention was still on Annette's squad leader, the ghoul opened the door just enough for her slender form to fit through. Closing the door silently behind her, she powered off her stealthboy and activated her motion detector. The only moving entities within reasonable distance were those in the other room and outside of the mechanic's shop. Using the dim light of her pipboy, she surveyed the surrounding area and sneaked through the room searching for anything that might be of interest to the Brotherhood.

Lucimorth wondered around the store, seemingly oblivious to what ever was going on around. He heard Alex become a little irritated and smiled slightly to himself.
"For god's sake, just kill her already. Last time it took my less to irritate you, are you getting soft, Alex? I am sure there are more than enough interesting items here we can salvage aside from the damn pre war gizmo. She does not want to talk, good for her. I want to see her do something about it, you have a power armor, there is no one in this damn hole who can do anything about you doing anything at all."
Lucimorth grinned at Sasha wis a slightly deranged smile.

Annette found a few small chips that might be worth something to the Brotherhood and slipped them into her backpack before she noticed, by the dim light of her pipboy, a safe sitting in the corner of the room. Approaching the metal container, she knelt before it and thoroughly checked it for traps; it appeared as though none were present. Pressing her sensitive ears against the wall of the safe, the frail ghoul began spinning the dial. She could hear it turning and, after a while, the first click was heard. After a few minutes she safe sounded its final click and the door opened to reveal a few holodiscs, some papers on designs for vehicles, and some mechanical parts that, being uneducated in the field of mechanics, Annette couldn't fully describe.
She slid her backpack off and unzipped it, carefully placing everything in various pockets on and in the bag. One of the items was of such a size and weight that it would likely crush anything within the backpack, so Annette emptied all of the chipsets and holodiscs into various pockets on her armor and placed the item in the largest pocket on her backpack. It was of a size that she was unable to fully close the bag, so she pulled a larger bag out of her backpack and unfolded it, stuffing the item into it. Annette closed the safe and returned to the door, at which point she turned her pipboy back on and left the room. Closing and locking teh door behind her, she silently approached her squad leader.
Standing behind the, at the time, oblivious woman, Annette whispered into her ear. "I need you to step outside the shop with me for a moment." Annette headed outside of Sasha's place and waited for her squad leader to join her.

Grunting slightly as Annette whispered into her ear and sighed as she stepped out of the shop as the ghoul had asked.
"Did you find anything useful while you where sneaking around back there thief?" Alex asked rather annoyingly as she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the ghoul.

Turning off her stealthboy, Annette's image lost it's nearly imperceptible transparency and she set down her two bags and began unloading her pockets. There were over two dozen holodiscs, fourteen chips, the documents on designs for reproducing and enhancing civilian vehicles, a small box full of small energy cell-powered tools, and the large part which Annette didn't recognize. "I know what everything is except for this hunk of... whatever the ******** it is. Seeing as I don't recognize it, it doesn't look like any car part I've ever seen, and she kept it in a safe, I'm going to assume there's a high probability that it's what we're looking for."
She was examining the item as she spoke, then looked up into her squad leader's eyes. She knew the woman didn't like her, and she knew it wasn't just because of the fact that that was Alex's temperament. Annette then frowned, "I'm going to guess the General didn't give any hints as to what we're looking for." She was looking down at the holodiscs which she'd returned to her backpack after having shown them to her squad leader, and inserted one into her pipboy. Initiating the download of the information she watched as the words informing her that the information had successfully been transferred popped up on her screen.
"I'm going to look through these holodiscs and see if there's anything referencing what the artifact might be, just to make sure I didn't miss it. For all I know it could be hidden in the civilian vehicle in the back room." Annette then returned her gaze to Alex's eyes. "I'd suggest we try to find out what exactly the artifact is from Sasha before we return with this stuff, just in case none of the s**t I picked up is what we're supposed to retrieve. By we, of course, I mean you. Sasha may hate you, but at least you're not a ghoul." She removed the holodisc from her pipboy and began downloading another one. "Do you want me to send a message to the General?"

Alex let out a big sigh of anguish and apathy as she listened to the ghoul speak, as soon as Annette had finished talking Alex waved her hand dismissively when she asked if she should contact the General.
"No, that won't be necessary we can handle things from here. Besides the intel didn't say what it was so i doubt the General knows what where looking for any more then we do. Look through those holodisks and see what you can find, but next time... Do inform me before you decide to STEAL! on brotherhood grounds or i will chop of your right hand my self." Alex said harshly as she glared at the ghoul from behind her visor before sighing once more and stepping back into the store and back up to Sasha and found her self an old Metal chair to sit down on.
"Look Sasha maybe we got off on the wrong foot here, and i should probably apologise as well for my behaviour as well its just one of those days you know? Waking up on the wrong side of the bed so to speak. Anyway how about this, could you at least tell me what it is? So i know if we are interested in it or not, it would be rather embarrassing if i ransack your shop and said artefact isn't anything useful that would juts make me look like a fool." Alex said calmly trying not to sound aggressive or offensive as she fished around for information.

Annette chuckled as Alex returned into the shop only to do exactly as the ghoul had suggested. Judging by her squad leader's response, actually informing the woman of things appeared to be less necessary than the ghoul had thought it would be, meaning she could revert to her usual tactic of saying as little as possible. She grinned, one of her assumptions about the Brotherhood had just been disproved. Picking up another holodisc, Annette sighed with boredom as she downloaded then browsed through the information.

Zeo turned the artefact slowly around her hand, it seemed very fragile. Just as she thought that she felt a piece chip off, slowly turning her eyes to the others to see whether they saw her or not she took the device and returned it on the floor. She felt a small amount of aggravation towards Sasha from the constant look she was giving to the Brotherhood and wondered if she treated her other customers as so. Again as Alex spoke to Sasha once more, Zeo smiled and wandered whether they made any improvement.

((Well seeing how Xenos will no longer play the part of Sasha i guess we should get this show on the road.))
Sasha eyed the Junior paladin suspiciously as Alex suddenly took a friendlier tone towards her, leaning up against the counter Sasha grunted as she quickly looked around the shop to see what the others where doing before she sighed.
"Very well.." Sasha replied as the two began to talk.
As time passed on and as the two had been talking for a while Alex finally managed to slip the information out of Sasha regarding the artefact, apparently it was a pre war car part something called a turbo what ever the hell that was and a few assorted holodiscs with varied information all related to vehicles.
"Well i thank you for taking your time Sasha, we will have a man come by later to discuss business regarding the artefact." Alex said as she motioned towards the rest of her team to leave before she got out of her chair and gave Sasha a quick nod before she followed the others out, as soon as they had left the building Alex grabbed a hold of the thieving ghoul standing near by and gave her a light push towards the direction they where heading.
"We got what we came for, so your now all officially off duty. feel free to stay behind and if not then pile into the hummer." Alex said as she made her way towards the exit ramp.

Annette saw Alex exiting the shop and picked up her bags. As the squad leader pushed her in the direction of the way from which they had come, she sighed and walked on, glancing at Alex with a blank expression on her face. She followed the group out to the hummer. She might as well make sure that the items she'd retrieved would be delivered to the Brotherhood, as the woman who'd so kindly thanked Annette for what she couldn't do herself couldn't even handle a simple retrieval mission on her own.

Zeo watched the two converse for a while and then followed Alex out of the shack and towards the hummer thinking about Alex's sudden change of tone and wondered why she didn't notice Annette throughout most of the mission.
