One for My Baby

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Boone, one of the ex-NCR military types who have taken up residence in Novac, has had his wife kidnapped. He is enlisting your investigative abilities to track down and bring the perpetrator to justice.

By speaking to each of the residents of Novac, you can develop information and ideas about who may have perpetrated the crime.

When starting this quest, Boone walks the Courier through the procedure for bringing the slaver to his own brand of justice. Once you are confident of the identity of the perp, execute Boone's instructions and speak with him after it is complete.

Successful and accurate completion of this quest will grant you the Spotter perk

General Walkthrough
This has been written without spoilers.


 * 1) Travel to Novac and speak to Boone between the hours of 9PM and 9AM.  During this time, he is present in the upstairs area of the gift shop.  This shop is located inside the Dinosaur statue.
 * 2) Take the quest, and speak to the inhabitants of Novac. To expedite the quest, speak to No-Bark first.  His information moves the quest forward.
 * 3) Head to the motel office and access the safe using lockpicking or a pickpocketed key.
 * 4) Read the note "Bill of Sale."
 * 5) Ensuring it is still between the hours of 9PM and 9AM, walk Boone's target to the front of the dinosaur.
 * 6) After Boone has executed the perpetrator, speak to him.  If you actually found the Bill of Sale, you use it to justify your decision.  If you did not, you can try a Speech check.  Using the evidence will open up the ability to use him as a companion

Bugs
If you cannot get Jeannie to follow you, try the following solutions:
 * Use the Wait function to move the in-game time between 9PM and 9AM. Suggest moving it to a comfortable time between then.
 * Change your tracked quest and fast-travel out of the town. Return, retrack the quest, and attempt to confront Jeannie

Obtaining the evidence before speaking to any NPCs in Novec will result in a quest completion for the optional objectives.

Obtaining the evidence before talking to No-Bark will result in a quest completion for the optional objectives.

Having a higher than typical amount of reputation in Novac can result in the quest not beginning.
