Steel Waste Chapter 197
Advertisement
After Afton had scaled over the Trailer Forts wall, he glances around at the area to get a better idea at where he should be going. In the middle of the grounds surrounded by walls, there seems to be a 'main' building, whatever that means. It looks as if it would be used for living space or something similar.
It apparently also had stairs that led to the roof which looked more like a watch-tower than anything, make-shift scrap walls and a metal roof to enable whoever was inside to take cover from projectiles.
Violet was probably in there, he scans the grounds and spots more dogs sleeping... The walls weren't connected with the main building so he'd have to sneak past the dogs to reach it. He chews the inside of his cheek while he considers where to go next, eventually deciding to walk around the back of the main building and climb up to the roof.
He didn't know what would be hiding behind the front door, so he wasn't going to risk slamming the door into a sleeping dog or something similar. True, he'd have to be careful or whoever was living inside the makeshift building would be alerted... But he was sure he'd manage somehow.
Truth be told, climbing the trailer made structures was fairly easy as they provided more than enough handholds. They weren't meant to be meshed together into one larger building after all.
Afton eventually reaches the roof and raises a brow at what he finds at the top, many shelves containing various chems, explosives, and other valuable things. Why would Violet store all of this up here? Could it be Violet thought that only she would be able to get up here?...
Shaking his head he checks the shelves, as well as the ammo boxes that were strewn across the floor haphazardly. Pocketing anything usable he finds, as well as a good helping of chems.

Afterwards, he turns his attention towards the stairs leading down into the 'dogs den', Afton didn't know what to expect, but hopefully it'd be as easy as cutting her head off and leaving...
Inside the dark metal room he was immediately able to spot the many dogs that were sleeping inside. Fortunately there didn't seem to be as many as outside, but it was still an issue. Taking a glance around he spots some kind of jail cell? Taking a peek inside, he spots many younger dogs as well as a lot of gnawed bones that looked suspiciously human of origin.
Shaking his head, he sneaks into the next room and is immediately greeted with his target. Violet was sleeping soundly on the mattress that was laid on the floor... Though, dogs surrounded her bed and she was even using one as a makeshift-pillow. Honestly, Afton wouldn't be surprised if she fucked those dogs at this point, crazy bitch.
The dog's presence really limited his options... Even if he could approach without alerting all of them, he'd still need to kill her without her resisting at all, and then cut her head off without the dog-pillow noticing... Rather impossible, even for Afton.
So, he'd either need to just blow her away with a bullet to the cranium or choose a more creative method.
...
First of all, Violet didn't really have anything usable around here. The only thing he could of would be the cage the young dogs were kept in. He could guess the reason they were not allowed out with the others, probably not being trained enough to start attacking everyone on sight... Hm, he could use that.
He sneaks up to the cell and pulls out some Psycho that he'd collect from the roof. His Medicine Skill didn't just give him details on humans, but animals too. He could roughly estimate the amount of Psycho he could give an animal without it having a heart attack, so he sticks his hand inside and jabs one of the dogs, making sure to stab one with horribly manged skin. The infection would prevent it from feeling the prick of the needle and allow how to inject it without being discovered.

The door itself was secured by heavy ropes, Afton unties them but leaves them in place so it looks like it's still sealed. Once done he sneaks towards the stairs and waits for the Psycho to kick in.
...
...
A couple minutes later and the dog he'd drugged starts growling in its sleep, salivating, kicking its leg at random and biting thin air. Eventually it opens its eyes, revealing the horribly red and bloodshot orbs.
"ARF! ARF! ARF!" it barks, the sound itself not being similar to a dogs bark, but a wolf or lions. It continues barking and biting at the cage until Violet starts to stir.
Afton keeps out of sight as she grumbles to herself, "Now what is it? Waking me up now doggo, do you want a beating!?"
He watches as the woman scolds the dog through the cage, but it doesn't calm down at all. Still slobbering all over the place and gnawing at the bars. "Hm? Who fed you? You only got chems if you're a good boy, you understand?" she asks after realising it'd somehow acquired some chems.
Afton's eyes widen at this, clearly Violet had experience with this. Not to mention the fact that she knew something was up, dogs couldn't usually inject themselves with Psycho after all!
He was about to sneak over, knock her out and drag her away from the dog infested rooms when the cage door swings open when the dog slams against it, causing Violet to step back.
She draws her weapon and is about to shoot the dog but it'd already wrapped its jaws around her arm, causing her to drop it.
"ARRGHH! BAD DOGGO! OFF! GET OFF!" she shouts while thrashing around, waking the other dogs from their slumber.
"Fuck." Afton mutters while palming his face.
