“Well that’s what you’re here for, dear one.” James pats her bent spine as she leans over the computer, then standing up and holding his hand out to Herman pointedly.
They shake hands. “Thanks Doc, for… you know, everything.”
“Don’t thank me, Herman. I care for Freddie and your family; you’ve done a lot for me and my girl.”
Herman blinks, swallows pathetically, and manages to catch the small spark in Kate’s eyes.
She has no idea how true that is; how much Herman fought for the strange family nearly 19 years ago. “Um, yeah. Of course. I’ll see you next month?”
“Oh, Officer Gomez!” Kate pipes up, yanking roughly at a wire in her grip before plugging a different one into a colorful slot behind the terminal’s monitor. “The Overseer wants me to have a look at the security cameras around the Vault; he said I’d need an Officer to help me find them. Would you mind?”
“Catherine.” James frowns half-heartedly. “It’s late.”
Catherine. Kate. Oh.
“Dad,” Kate whines around the screwdriver gripped between her teeth. Herman eyes the sharp canines that peek over the colorful handle. “Don’t even suggest that I ask Stevie Mack.”
“Well—,”
“It’s alright, Doc.” Herman clears his throat, drawing twin pairs of blue eyes. “I was about to go out on shift, actually. It’d be nice to have some company.”
“See?” She asks, voice muffled before she takes her tool in hand to refasten the frame of the machine back together. “I’m nice company; don’t you think so Officer Gomez?”
“Of course,” James scoffs instantly, thankfully, before shaking his head. He doesn’t even notice Herman’s pained swallow. “If not a little loud-mouthed, perhaps?”
“Oh, really?”
They joke and beam at one another—happily, jovially and lovingly. A father and a daughter, both beautiful and brilliant and radiant people, still as mysterious and exotic as the day they stepped into the Vault. How typical they seem now, acting the perfect pair—like a family straight out of a pre-war movie.
A rare love shines behind James’ eyes upon Kate’s loud cackle; Herman turns from the sight.
