Going Back to Boston [closed log]
Who: George Milton and Nick Valentine
When: September 16-18
Where: Road trip to Bean Town
Summary: Nick wants to have a look at this world's equivalent to where he lived at home, and George is flexing his new DL with a car rental and road trip.
Warnings: Possible talk of Fallout post-apocalyptic stuff
With the weird way Hickey has been acting, the increased stress of trying to keep people out of Dogtown and the continued sabotage of the fence he has been working hard to build, George has had enough. After some talk with Nick about his old life a few weeks prior and now that he has a driver's license, he decides to surprise him with the suggestion on Wednesday that the two of them pack up for a drive down to Boston for a weekend trip,
To his surprise it's only an hour away, which means they can leave right after work Friday evening. He's a light packer and traveler, doesn't have much to his name, but because of developments lately, he has a keyed deadbolt to his bedroom that he locks before he gets the rental loaded.
Then they're off, and once they hit the Interstate, he's finally comfortable enough to chat with the cruise control and radio on mostly as background noise. "This is gonna be the largest city I been to since gettin' here," he says. "You lookin' forward to seein' how different it is?"

WHOOPS
"Should be a real nice place to stay. It'll be strange seeing a clean mattress and intact carpet... and walking outside without being armed."

He's more relaxed once they've taken the exit from the Interstate. Traffic isn't too bad in the area where their hotel is located. He double checks the sign before putting on his turn signal and pulling in. "Hnh. Fancy. They got them a concierge area right in front a' the doors." It's only fancy to him. He has no idea what amenities are common at modern hotels.
"If you wanna hang tight, I can check in and get our key."
