S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl #063: Mastiff Returns
It's a long night, inside the abandoned Northern Checkpoint, waiting for the daylight of morning. I move to an upper platform, where I guess Leshiy had been hiding, the first time I had arrived, and he was still alive. This second visit found him already dead, at the hands of the Bandits that I had just killed on arrival. When morning came, it was dismal, dark and rainy. I got on the roof and watch several packs of dogs, wanger through the grounds. No point in wasting too much ammo in them. When I finally leave, I used the back wall opening and went directly south, by the nearest compound.
I find this is a safe path. than taking the main road, which is exposed to everyone. I pass by the Radiation Sign Warehouse and continue south, directly to the house where Richter is. When I get to Lens, I am surprised to see someone inside, as he is always alone. I am shocked to see it is Mastiff. I had left him in the care of the Ninth, of which Lens was not happy with. Mastiff tells me he is happy I trusted the Monolithian, who tended to his wounds, and he returned now 2 days later, alive and well. I'm glad I had made the right choice and to see him again.
