This is my first fanfic using Black Lagoon, right now I really like it and I also have some ideas for how to continue this story. If you would like me to continue this story then please review and let me know.

Everything in its Place

Rock leaned back against the old ship. The old torpedo boat, he was absolutely exhausted from the heat. The lagoon company had gotten a new job from Hotel Moscow. They were suppose to go out into the middle of the sea, to some remote island and get a package from the Columbian Cartel. He was not sure why they were doing this, but for some reason they were getting paid 50G, so he was not about to complain. Although even though he wasn't going to complain, the person sitting next to him certainly had no problem expressing her anger about this message.

"What the hell are we doing here, god damn we are not fucking delivery boys. Well maybe you are, but the rest of us, and what the fuck is with this heat."

Rock looked over at Revy and waited for her to stop her ranting. He had to admit that even when she was angry she was outrageously beautiful, and with the sweat running down her face and neck and lower made him want her even more. Jerking his head away he looked over the ocean once more. If she even suspected that he looked at her the way he did, or if he had these feelings for her, he was pretty sure that she would have killed him a long time ago.

"This job pays quite a bit Revy," Rock tried to point out, "and lately we have to keep on buying ammo and fixing the boat. Perhaps with this easy job we will not have to spend anything and just use the money for other things."

Revy snorted at him. "Yeah right, you just like it that I do not have to save your ass again Rock."

"Perhaps," he murmured as he placed two cigarettes in his mouth. Lighting them both he handed one over to Revy who took it without question. Rock just sighed. Their relationship had developed to the point where they were extremely close to each other, but as much as he wanted to, he knew that Revy would never return his feelings.

"Hey you two, quite your bitchin' and get back in here, we are about to land on the island," Dutch's voice sounded over the loud speaker.

Standing Rock held out his hand to help Revy stand up. She just looked at his hand as if disgusted. With a shake of her head she stood up and walked back inside the cabin of the boat. Rock just looked down at his hand. "Why the hell did I just do that." Disgusted with himself he went into the cabin with the others, all the while starting to hate himself.

Inside the cabin Revy was asking herself the same exact question. 'Why the hell did I just do that?' Sure the logical answer was that she did not need any ones help, with anything. Usually if someone tried to help her up, and hold the door for her, or anything she would just assume blow their damn heads off, but with Rock it was different. When he stood and offered her his hand, she did not know what came over her.

Sure she had relations before, but usually they were either for a one night stand when she needed to let lose, or when she was younger it was for survival, but none of those men appreciated her. For some reason she felt as if Rock did, and that was a new and almost scary feeling to her. When he reached out his hand she felt warm inside, as if she was a true woman, but for some reason she swatted his hand away.

It was not because she did not like the gustier, it was quite the opposite, she liked it too much. Hearing the door open she saw Rock come in and almost hated herself because of the look of anguish that was on his face. She knew that this pathetic boy had feelings for her; it was quite obvious the way he kept sneaking glances at her. She did not know when it happened, but she was starting to have feelings for him as well. In truth she looked forward and enjoyed the times when they were together, whether at the bar or out on the bow of the ship, she just enjoyed his company.

"Alright now here is the plan." Dutch's voice broke her out of her thoughts and back to the task at hand. Her personal feelings could wait for a bit, it was time to work now.

"There is a small compound about two miles inland. Go to the guards and ask for the one named Jose. Once he arrives give him this note."

Dutch threw a piece of paper at Revy. Without even looking at the note she tucked it into her bra. "Now once you give the guard he will lead you into the compound. Follow him and do as he says. He will give you the package and you will bring it back here. Hopefully this will go off without a hitch. Rock, Revy you two are going to be handling this one, me and Benny are going to do some work on this tub. Get too it."

Revy nodded and headed out the door. "Come on Rock, let's get this over and done with so we can go back to the Yellow Flag and finally settle our contest."

Rock nodded to her and the two got off the ship. Unfortunately there was no jeep waiting for them, so they had to truck all the way to the compound. Cursing their luck Revy headed off in a fast pace. She wanted this job done, perhaps then she could find out what these strange feelings where whenever she looked at Rock.

By the time the two could see the compound Rock was about ready to fall over. Sure it was a great distance from the beach to the compound, but still the trek was an absolute pain in the ass. What made it even worse was that it seemed to her that Revy did not feel like talking. He tried a couple of times to get a conversation going, but she always brushed him off by simply telling him to shut up.

After what seemed like an eternity they found themselves in front of the compound, immediately half a dozen rifles were pointed their way. "What is it you want?" One of the guards asked.

Revy calmly stepped forward. It was as if she did not acknowledge the fact that six rifles where pointed her way. "We are here to see Jose, we have a message for him." Revy said calmly, oh how Rock admired her strength.

After a few minutes of quite conversation, one of the guards finally disappeared to find this 'Jose'. After a moment and man with a bicycle mustache showed up at the gate. "You called for me? What the hell do you want, be quick or I may just have my men start target practice."

Without saying a word Revy pulled the note out and handed it to the man. After he had opened it and took a look at the contents, he told the guards to raise the gate. He then indicated that he wanted the both of them to follow him. He led them through the compound, past multiple buildings until he reached one that was right up against the tree line near the back of the encampment. "Right in here is what you are looking for I believe." The man said to them with a wave of his hand, indicating for them to open the door.

Rock stepped forward and took of the hold of the door. When he opened the door though, all hell broke loose. For in the middle of the room was a man strung up by his heels, with several cuts all over him. Rock turned, along with Revy to all the men outside, only to find at least 15 Ak-47's pointed at them. The man with the mustache just laughed.

"You aren't Jose are you?" Rock concluded.

The man just laughed. "No I am not, that man is. But he told us all about his deal with Hotel Moscow. Said that there would be a couple of here to pick up information on the Cartel. Right before I slit his throat. Now you two are next."

With a curse Revy pulled out her guns and began to fight back. Rock did not have a clue what to do. Revy was fighting her best, trying to get them free, and he could do nothing more than just sit around like a bump on a log. Revy grabbed hold of his collar, and roughly pulled him with her back into the building. "God when I get back I am going to kill that scare-face bitch with my own two hands." Revy yelled out.

Rock was looking around trying to find a way out. After a few bullets grazed by his head, he finally saw his chance. Near the back there was a small hole in the side, near the bottom of the building. Sliding over to it, Rock began to pull of the lose bamboo walling until he had opened up a hole big enough for them to escape through. "Revy get over here, I got us a way out."

Revy turned and noticed what he had done. Without a word she came over to his side. "You go first Revy." Rock told her.

When Revy turned to face him, she had a strange look on her face. He could not tell what it was, but he had never seen it before. With a slight nod, and him pulling of the wall to make the hole bigger, she managed to slip through the hole he had created. "Alright Rock you are next, come on." He hear Revy yell from outside.

Sliding under the wall he made his way out. Once he was on the other side, the two of them made a break for the forest. Once in the forest Rock had a really hard time navigating all the trees and brush, but Revy seemed to have no problem with them at all. After ten minutes of hard running Revy finally stopped. Rock nearly dropped over due to exhaustion. Revy calmly looked around the surrounding area.

"I swear I am going to kill that bitch when we get back." Revy gritted out through clenched teeth.

Still panting Rock looked up at her. "She did…not know that…this would happen…Revy."

Standing he took a deep breath to try and calm himself. "Plus Revy she is our primary employer. Without most of the work that she sends us, I do not know how well we would be doing right now."

Revy was still looking around the surrounding area. "Still pisses me off that this happened."

"I know but not a whole lot we can do right now, we need to find a way back to the boat."

Revy was still scanning the forest. "Luckily those jack asses do not know where the boat is. If we head due south from here we should be able to get to the boat in a little more than-"

A loud gun shot rang out and Revy hit the ground hard. "Nooo Revy." Rock yelled, but of course that was a major mistake.

Several bullets passed within an inch of his head. Crawling over to where Revy was he had to suppress a curse when he saw her. The bullet had hit her in the back and she was bleeding badly. Revy looked up at him, "Rock you need to get out of here."

Rock was not sure what happened to him at that moment. It was like something inside of him snapped. Reaching over he took hold of one of Revy's guns and stood up. "Come on you bastards you wanna fight, well here I am. Show you damn face."

When the first man stood up in the forest, Rock did not even hesitate, he simply shot the man dead. More men stood up and he just kept on killing them. When he ran out of bullets he reached down and loaded the gun with a new clip and continued to kill everyone who came near them. After several minutes no one was left standing besides Rock. Shaking slightly Rock looked at the gun that he was holding. What the hell had he just done?

He heard a moan come from Revy and it seemed that it did not matter at the moment. Rushing over to her, he slung her arm over his shoulder and helped her stand. Not forgetting to pick up her guns, Rock slowly lead Revy back down to the beach. Once they made their way down to the beach Rock looked around for the boat. Seeing it slightly down the beach front he made their way down. Please hold on Revy. It is my turn to save you.

Revy awoke with a slight moan. When she raised her hand to rub her head she was painfully reminded that she was shot in the back. "Son of a bitch," she yelled out in pain.

Looking around her surroundings she noticed that she was in the torpedo boat. How the hell did I get here? She wondered how she had gotten here, the last thing that she remembered was that she told Rock to run, but for some reason he did not. She was not sure of the details, but he had somehow managed to get her back down to the boat. That son of a bitch actually saved me, I'll be damned.

She looked down and noticed that bandages were wrapped around her body. And more importantly she was not wearing a shirt or bra. I'll kill them all later, but right now I want to know what the hell we are going to do. Rising slowly she tested out her arm and shoulder to see how much pain she was in. Amazingly it did not hurt as much as she would have thought.

Looking around she found her shirt and exited the small room to try and find everyone. She found Dutch and Benny in the front of the boat, heading back towards Roanapur. She looked around for Rock, but for some reason he was not around. "Hey dick heads where the hell is Rock?"

Both Dutch and Benny turned towards her. "Revy what the hell are you doing up. You should be resting right now. You got hit in the damn shoulder." Dutch told her.

"Never mind that bullshit, where the hell is Rock at, and do not make me ask you two again." Revy was running her finger on the gun to try and annunciate her point.

Benny laughed nervously. "He is down in the engine room; he hasn't left there since he carried you back here."

"You should know something Revy, before you go down there. He was like a man possessed when he brought you here." Dutch explained. "To get you here he had to kill quite a few people. His hands are still shaking. He helped us treat you, but he was so shaky that we made him go away."

Revy did not even wait for further explanation. She headed immediately down towards the engine room. Opening the door, she flipped on the light to see if she could find him. Walking around the room she found him sitting against the wall in a corner. She sighed. I was never any good at this shit. Waking up to him she sat down and pulled out two cigarettes. Lighting them both she handed one to Rock and kept the other for herself. Taking a long drag she figured she would have to be the first one to talk. "I understand that you saved my ass this time Rock. I guess that you do not owe me that much anymore. How does it feel to save someone Rock?"

Rock did not say anything, he only lifted his hands. "I killed them Revy, I did not even think about it. I just stood up and started to kill them all."

"You saved me Rock."

"I still killed people Revy."

"They would have killed you if you had not done what you did Rock. They were out to either kill us, or capture and kill us. Either way if you had not taken any action we would both be dead right now."

Rock placed his head in his hands. He still had not touched the cigarette to his lips. "How do you do it Revy? I do not feel so bad in the fact that I killed them; it was more of the fact on how easy it was to kill them. It did not take anything."

"That is the way we live Rock. I told you a long time ago I did not think you were fit for this life, now do you believe me?"

"Honestly Revy, I do not know. I do not want to go back to my old life, but even though this path might seem dark, I do not mind it. Cause even in this darkness there is a small light I can rely on."

"What light is that Rock?"

"………"

"Oh come on Rock do not give me that silent shit, what light are you holding on to."

"The light that I will kill to protect."

The meaning of what Rock just said did not go unnoticed by her. She was Rock's light in this hell hole? Hell she was no light, she was not at all pure, and she was nothing but darkness, so how the hell could she be his small light. But for some reason, what he just said made her feel warm. It was more intense then when he offered his hand to help her stand. Standing up she reached out her hand. "Come on Rock. You cannot do this shit to yourself. You need to pull yourself together. Staying down here in the dark does you no good at all. We are almost back to Roanapur, once we get there we will go to the Yellow Flag and get drunk off our ass. Come on I am paying this time."

Rock looked up and smiled at her. Reaching up he took her hand and she helped him up. "That sounds like a very good idea Revy."

Together the two of them walked up to Dutch and Benny waiting to get back to Roanapur and tell the bad news to Balalaika.

Arriving back at Roanapur Rock drew the short straw and had to call Balalaika to tell her the bad news. Picking up the phone he slowly dialed her number. After a few rings someone picked up. "Yes."

"This is Rock from the Lagoon Company, I need to talk to Balalaika."

"Just a moment."

Rock wiped some sweat from his forehead. He prayed that they were still in her good graces. "This is Balalaika. What news do you have for me Rock?"

At least she sounded as if she was in a good mood. "I have bad news Ms Balalaika. It was a trap. The cartel had figured it out and had tortured and killed your informant. We were not able to get package for you."

There was silent at the other end of the line. "This is most unfortunate Rock."

"We understand Ms. Balalaika. We tried our best, but they were too well armed."

"Believe it or not Rock I understand the situation. Our informant managed to tell us some of the information before he met his demise. I will be cutting your fee in half of course. But the fact that you did give us this information deserves some reward."

"Why may, if I may ask."

"Why do you question a good thing Rock? We suspected that there is a mole here in Hotel Moscow. Now that our top informant is dead, and tortured, we can be sure that someone leaked the information of him to the Cartel. So you see the information was valuable, but the fact that we now know that there is a mole is worth quite a bit too. Was anyone wounded in your little fight?"

Rock was almost having trouble breathing. He could not believe their luck. "Revy was shot in the shoulder Ms. Other than that nothing more than scrapes and bruises."

"Very well then, I will add another 5 grand to your pay in order to calm Two Hands. There will be 30 G ready for you whenever you decide to come and get it."

"Thank you Ms. Balalaika."

"Also Rock, tell Dutch to keep his phone handy. I may have some more work for you in the future." And with that the line went dead.

Hanging up the phone Rock turned to the others. "Well what is the news Rock?" Dutch asked?

"She had a feeling that it might be a trap. They figured someone must of leaked our plains to the Cartel and the informants name. She said that even though we did not finish the job we gave her certainty that there is a spy in their organization and for that she is willing to give us 25 grand. And since Revy was wounded she is adding another 5 grand on top of it. Also she said for Dutch to keep his phone on, she might have more work for us in the future."

It seemed everyone was relieved at what he said. Revy got up off the coach and put Rock into a head lock. "Alright Rock, it is time for you and me to hit the bar. Hey Benny you gonna spend enough time not talkin to you fling to get what I asked you too?"

Benny gave a short laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. "Sure Revy I can get it, but are you sure?"

"Hell yeah, now come on Rock you and me got some drinkin to do. Dutch you comin?"

Dutch shock his head. "No I am sure Balalaika will be callin soon, give me a hit when you two are ready to stubble your drunk asses back here."

"Will do Dutch." And with that Revy roughly forced Rock out of the apartment and to the Yellow Flag. He was sure this was going to be a very long night.

Dutch sat on the couch with his phone in hand. Rock and Revy had left about an two hours ago, and Benny had already been to the store and back, now he was chatting away with his girlfriend on the computer. He also knew that soon he would be getting a call from Balalaika. He was defiantly going to increase their rate if she was going to send them were he thought. He was still made that she had used them to flush out a traitor, but that was the way this business worked, he knew that as well as everyone else.

He was really surprised when Revy had pulled him and Benny over once they got off the ship and made her request. He did not know why she wanted to get Rock something like that, but since she said that she was willing to pay for it he had no problem at all with it. Now if Rock ever used it was another matter. For the most part Dutch was just glad that Rock might be willing to do more than answer the phone now.

Right then the phone in the apartment started to ring. Walking over to it he picked it up, already knowing who it was going to be. "It would have been nicer to have a little warning that you were using us as bait Balalaika."

"I am sorry Dutch, but you know how it is when you are trying to find a traitor, the less you tell anyone of your plans the better the chance of success."

Dutch grunted. "So did you mange to find the jackass?"

"You will be happy to know that we did. But we still need more information on him and his contacts. Your company's next mission is simple. I have another contact inland a ways. You will go and make contact with him. You should know that our traitor will more than likely pass this information on, so this time you can turn the trap into one of your own. I do not care what you do to the people who come after you. But this time we need the information from our contact. Do not leave it behind."

"This mission sure does sound dangerous and a boat instead of the car this time? The fee for this one is going to go up quite a bit."
"I had anticipated this one Dutch. For anyone else I would kill you on the spot, but I value your company perhaps more than you realize. So for that I am will to pay you 100,000$ in US currency. Does that sound good to you Dutch?"

"It will work for us. When and where are we going?"

"I will send you that information shortly Dutch. See you later."

Setting the phone down Dutch went back to the couch. What had he just gotten his team into?

Revy woke up the next morning with an absolutely splitting hangover. She and Rock had out done themselves last night. They went through perhaps three liters of rum last night. But what was even more strange was the position she found herself when she opened her eyes. She knew that Dutch and Benny had a sick humor, but this was ridiculous. She was lying on top of Rock in the middle of the living room floor. Benny and Dutch must have just dropped the two of them on the floor as soon as they walked into the house.

Although part of her did not hate them for the position she was now in. This gave her a rare opportunity to study Rock. Looking at his face she had the strangest urge to start kissing him right then and there. Shaking her head violently she stood up and walked away from him. What the hell was wrong with her? She had never had these feelings before so why know where they starting to come up with him?

Walking away she noticed that a red box was sitting on the table with a note attached to it. It was from Benny, opening it she began to read.

Hey Revy found what you wanted, although it cost a little more than you thought. Me and Dutch are out fixing the boat today. Why not take the kid and show him how it's done?

Placing the note down she opened the red box and smiled at what she saw. It was worth the extra price she guessed. Hearing a moan come from Rock she turned to see him half way up leaning against the couch. He looked around confused until his eyes set on Revy. "How the hell did we end up back here?" He asked.

"Not quite sure about that one," she explained walking over to him with the box, "sure Dutch came and got us. But anyway this is for you. Next time do not use mine."

She watched as he opened the box. His eyes widened a bit, but he still reached in and pulled the custom made 9mm she had purchased for him. It was all black, but had a silver grip on the handle, along the side of the gun the word 'Rock' and engraved on the slide. "It is a 9mm, fairly common size for a gun, but very reliable and it will not knock you back whenever you pull the trigger. Also they made some modifications so it is completely full auto or normal. There are two clip sizes; one holds 15 rounds the other 30. I got one of each for you; if you need more than that you are going to need to purchase them."

"Thank you Revy, this means a lot to me." Rock gave her a half smile.

Standing she grabbed his hand and roughly pulled him towards the door. "Come on Rock, Dutch and Benny are gone for the day, so we are going to the range to squeeze off a few. Maybe then you will not waste so many bullets next time you use this."
