Notes: If you choose to protect the target, you must lie to Hammilton to complete this quest.

Talk to Hammilton in the Boneyard Library and he will ask you to track down and kill one of his workers who has left. You must go to the nearby Train station and ask four people about the missing man. The fourth person will point you toward the next Train station. Go there and ask four more people and you'll find that the missing person boarded the train to NCR. Follow your leads asking four people at each of the four stations and you'll eventually track him back to a shady man at the NCR train station who will tell you the location of the man, whose hideout is nearby to the west.

When you confront your target, you have two options: kill him or spare his life. If you spare his life, you can get a dialogue option with Hammilton to lie, with Charisma 5 or more, but Hammilton will still know you're lying and pressure you to fess up. When you do, he immediately sends a hit squad to kill you, so watch out; you'll get a forced encounter with a unique location, and be surrounded and immediately attacked by his hit squad, so it's best to wear good armor and drug up right after speaking with Hammilton.

NOTE: To complete this quest, you'll need to explore all four Train stations, and speak with 4 people in each one.

Sometimes NPCs are Busy
When you dialogue with NPCs, sometimes they are "busy". Wait for them to move and reset, and usually they will talk with you. If not, go talk to a different one if you can, and try the busy one later. Some quests require dialogue with multiple NPCs and there are often not many NPCs available, so it can seem bugged if they are "busy", but they will eventually talk with you.
