Rating: M

A/N: This FanFic Story takes place a few months after second and third season arc, Rock and Revy romance mostly but with others as well later on. I will try to keep most of it black lagoon style.

Summary: Rock has been taking on side jobs from both Balalaika and Mr. Chang that involve details of their organisations, only someone has been watching him and wants what he knows.

Chapter 1, Anger management

"What seems to be the issue Rock?" said Balalaika as she watched the highly depressed looking Rock organizing her financial records and books.

"Nothing really miss." He said as he began to finish up organizing her papers.

"You can't fool me Rock I know when you've got something on your mind and how you usually are, it's very unlike you to be so down like this." "Is it about what happened on the last job you on?" she asked in a very annoyed yet inquisitive voice.

He looked up from his work and frowned "yea I guess you could say that"

She looked him in the eyes with an understanding yet impatient stare "Look Rock, you may have done something that you'd never thought and hoped you wouldn't have to do but it saved the life of your captain, even if it scared the hell out of him."

Watching her grin "yea guess you're right, I mean it was bound to happen sooner or later living in this hell hole of a city."

"That's the way to think about it!" she said as she clapped her hands together. "But you know if ever have any second thoughts you could always come here and work for me and be my personal accountant" she said with an open grin. "You wouldn't be shot at or have to shoot at anyone" She smiled.

"Haha no thanks Miss Balalaika I think I've had enough of the office life, I like being out on the sea it's nice." He said with an open yet fearful smile

As she watched him put up the last of her papers she said in a sincere tone "I know that it wasn't easy for you to kill someone Rock, but if you hadn't..." he interrupted her "yea I know he would've killed Dutch."

"Good" she said with a satisfied smile. As he began to leave she said one last thing "You know I was surprised when I heard that Revy almost bit your head off I thought you two were close." She said with a slight laugh

"Yea but it was probably what I said to her that set her off" he sighed as he left the office.

They had better patch things up quick; they haven't been the same since they came back from Japan.Balalaika thought to herself

As Rock Was driving back to the office his thoughts trailed back to what had happened the week before and how it had changed him

1 week ago

They were attacked on one of the lagoon company's run to pick up a shipment for Mr. Chang. Two pirate boats had attacked them on their way back and had caught them by surprise since they were in one of the river mouths away from most pirating areas. One of the boats had gotten close enough that a man was able to jump on board and dive down to the deck below before Revy could notice, since she was blasting away at the other boat with her twin Berettas screaming about giving them all an extra asshole . However Rock had noticed and rushed to follow the man who has heading to were Dutch was driving the boat. He saw the man in the piloting room holding gun to Dutch's head telling him to stop the boat. At that moment he didn't think he just grabbed Dutch's shotgun and ran into the room and at point blank range fired it into the man, blowing a hole the size of a grapefruit through him. However it caused Dutch to hold his hands against the side of his head since the shogun had gone off right near his head.

After the battle was over and Revy had decimated the last boat by firing her grenade launcher she came rushing down to see why the hell Dutch had slowed the boat to a stop making them such an easy target. It was then that she saw Rock holding Dutch's favorite shotgun over man that had a gaping hole blown through him.

"What the hell did you do Rock?" she yelled at him

"I...I.I killed this guy" he said stammering

"I can see that shithead! Now why don't you tell me why you stopped the boat Dutch you dumbass!" she yelled in her average pissed off voice.

"Sorry Revy, when Rock blew that guy away it went off right by my head so all I could hear or think about was the ringing in my ears." He said with an aggravated look.

"What the hell Rock you dumbass don't you know any better than to shoot a gun next to someone's head!"

"Will you shut the hell up?" Rock screamed at her

At that moment everyone froze Dutch even with his sunglasses on looked petrified, Benny who had come from the computer room to check on everyone, fled in terror and Revy just stood there trying to figure out if she had heard what he said right.

"What the fuck did you just say to me!" she screamed back at him

But Rock didn't answer he just sat there staring at the man he had killed.

"Answer me! You piece of shit!"

Dutch finally stood up and slipped the shotgun away from Rock and led him out of the cabin and told Revy to back off.

"What do you mean back off!" she yelled

"He can't hear you Revy look at him." His voice low and unemotional

That's when she saw that his eyes were wide open and blank like they had no life in them.

Crap I should've gone easier on him, what was I thinking he's pretty much never shot a gun let alone killed someone. Even back in japan out of all those people who died he didn't kill a single person.

"Yea whatever" she muttered.

Present day,

As he finally pulled into the office and went upstairs he saw Dutch in the lobby reading one of his books about philosophy or politics.

"Hey Rock how'd it go with Balalaika?" he asked while continuing to read his book.

"Good she just had me look over some stuff is all, by the way Dutch sorr.." Dutch cut him off

"I already know what you're gonna say and look, I'm not mad at you for nearly blowing out my eardrums or anything just remember not to put any sort of gun close to my ear again, I might lose my hearing." He said jokingly as he put down his book.

"Hahaha sure thing Dutch" Rock said

"And by the way, thanks or saving my life Rock it means a lot to still be alive in with even with a minor ringing in my ears hahaha"

"No problem Dutch, so where's Benny and Revy" he asked

Well Since Jane got in to town last week I would have to guess Her and Benny are down at the boat making a mess of my boat" he said with hint of disapproval but with a grin all at the same time.

"As for Revy I think she's out drinking with Eda right now" he said blandly

"I see" Rock said

"Anything I should know about Rock? I know things haven't been the same between the two of you since you came back from Japan and Revy didn't seem to happy during that crazy maid's killing spree. I mean you guys seemed to get along and seemed like real buddy's until you came back. Something happen between the two of you?

Rock had felt this question coming for a while now, a lot of people had been had been asking but he never said anything back to them but with Dutch it was different.

"Yes and no" he said

"What does that mean?" asked Dutch

" Well when Revy got stabbed in her leg by Genji at the end of their fight I rushed over to help her and after getting to the hotel I continued to help her get around and bring her things that she couldn't get to or reach by herself. But I think it weirde'd her out having someone look after like that and she basically just stopped talking to me."

"And while Mr. Chang and i were playing our little game during Roberta's rampage, i think Revy fel a bit used and thinks im no longer the same person."

"I see" Said Dutch in a concerned voice.

"Rock how do you feel about Revy" Dutch said in an almost demanding voice.

"Well it think she's beautiful and wild sometimes crazy, but even so I really do have feelings for her but I don't think she'll ever be able to accept them or acknowledge how I think about her. 'Plus for the last few months we either haven't talked or argue just about every time we see each other."

Dutch had thoughtful expression on his face "Just give her a chance Rock she's had it pretty rough but she'll come around eventually you just gotta give it some more time."

"Also don't forget who you were before you came to this city, I don't need you going insane on me." Dutch said

"Dont worry Dutch i learned what would happen if i became to invoveld in the things going on here, I wont play games with Chang or anyone else anymore i promise." he said with a sincere tone.

"Good because id hate to fire the only person who can balance the books around here hahaha."

"By the way I wanted to give you something" He smiled just a bit.

"Me? Uh sure what is it?"

"Well ever since last week it got me thinking about your safety and the rest of ours as a group" Dutch said

"So I decided that you're going need this" he reached behind the sofa and pulled out his Remington 870 shotgun.

Rocks jaw dropped "Whoa Dutch I mean don't get me wrong I appreciate it really but are you sure you want to give this to me?" he said in concerned voice

"Yea I don't mind She's protected me for a long time now but I haven't used her in quite a while so instead why don't you use her for a while, maybe she'll protect you just like she did me" He smiled.

"Thanks Dutch I was going to tell I wanted to start to pull my weight around here anyway."

"That's the spirit Rock! I know your still not fond of guns but you're gonna need to protect yourself when Revy's not around, considering the fact that you've probably got some enemies of your own now."

"Yea you're probably right Dutch."

Maybe he's finally come around to realize that in this city without gun your chances of living go down to pretty much nothing, but it's good that he's motivated. Dutch thought to himself

Dutch then stood up "alright enough with all this mushy stuff let's go to the Yellow Flag and get something to drink what do say?"

"Sounds good Boss." Rock said

3 hours later at the Yellow flag

"So Where's Revy at Rock? It's weird just seeing you in here without her" Bao said

Just then

"Well well that looks like its boss man and useless over there" said Revy as she walked through the door.

"Guess I spoke to soon" said Bao

"Hey Revy where you been?" Asked Dutch in his usual friendly voice

"Playing cards with Eda but I kept losing so fucking bad I decided to cut my losses and head on over here."

Revy looked over at Rock who looked rather out of it. "Hey partner don't you wanna buy me a drink!" she said in a demanding tone

He didn't even look up from his glass "No" he said in a cold voice

Revy was a little taken back by the hostility from her usually wimpy partner "What the hell did you just say to me!" she almost screamed

Bao started to move a bit farther down the bar fearing the wrath of Revy and a bunch of the other customers started looking up to see what was about to go down. Everyone in the bar seemed to get tensed up except for Dutch who sat there calmly drinking his booze.

"I said no, maybe if you hadn't gambled all your money away playing cards with Eda you'd have some to buy your own booze."

Dutch and Bao could tell that Revy was about to ballistic when she yelled "You useless piece of sh…

"Shut the fuck up you bitch!" Rock said interrupting her as he crushed his glass in his hand.

At that moment Bao started too slowly duck behind his bulletproof bar and the rest of his customers started wiggling their way out of their seats to get closer to the door.

Revy on the other hand was speechless, and when she was just about to say something back to him Rock began to continue on his half drunken rant.

"You treat me like shit every day and you expect me to suck up to you? I thought we had gotten past all this bullshit that day at the market!"

The memory of that day stung her deep inside somewhere and she couldn't help but feel sorry and as she did her anger started to fade away.

"Then when we went to japan you always kept telling me to go see my parents almost every step of the way even when I told they could care less if I was dead or not! Hell it seems like you were trying to get rid of me just like when we started out as partners."

Revy noticed her face had become tense and shameful looking, and then she noticed Rocks hand was bleeding all over the place.

"But you know what I'm sick of it all; I'm tired of caring about someone who has a death wish."

Care about?! He cares about me? She frantically thought while he ranted

Rock took in large breath "So you know what! I quit!" He said in a raging voice

Revy's face went completely pale and blank as she watched him take out his keys rip off the one for the office and throw it on bar top, he then left with bar doors slamming behind him.

She slowly got up to go after him but Dutch Put a hand out on her shoulder "Let him go for now he needs to cool off, but you need to think about what he said Revy."

"Yea sure thing Dutch." She said softly

Boa had gotten back up from the bar has talking to Dutch who had decided to give Revy some space " So you think he was serious about leaving you guys?" he asked

" I don't think so, I think that was just something he needed to get out of his system, plus you think I'd really just let him quit like that" he smiled.

Outside the Yellow Flag

"Sir the target has left the bar and is now driving back into the city, should we take him now?"

"Is he alone?"

"Yes sir neither the girl nor the black man is with him."

….

"No wait till he gets back to his apartment in the city, but remember I need him alive or I can't get the information that I need from him."

"Yes Sir, I will contact you again when we've captured him."

The Two vans that had waited outside the bar started back toward the city.
