Diamond was the star pirate at Vaas' Camps. Nobody messed with her, knowing they might be shot in the face by her husband. Stefan was in fact one of the most vicious pirates you could get, never thinking twice about shooting anyone who touches Diamond.

Diamond had long, black, curly hair that reached down to her lower back, with lusty, white skin. Stefan was rough and very muscular, other pirates thought he used steroids. Even Vaas didn't want any part of him. He had brown spikey hair with handsome features. Vaas and Stefan never got along because Vaas liked Diamond, but could never have her.

"You rang, Vaas." Diamond entered into Vaas' room in his compound fearing it was a "hit and run" attempt, that's what all the pirates call an affair.

"Yes, sit down." She did, still unable to decrypt his face. "I need you and Stefan to go take care of something." Diamond looked at him with confusion.

"You never send us together. Why now." Vaas then glared back and was trying not to yell. "Because I fucking said so that's why." Diamond looked back almost with a chuckle. "Doesn't take much to set you off, does it?"

"It's very important, and needs to be handled by professionals, not just any old pirate." Vaas said sternly. "Alright, what is the mission then?" Vaas cooled down a bit before telling her. "It's an assassination. The poachers are giving us trouble and I need you to handle it." Diamond shook her head got up and left the room still a little confused why she need Stefan.

Diamond snuck up behind Stefan who was sleeping and landed a kiss on him. Stefan jumped at first then landed a kiss back.

"Hi, baby. What's goin' on?" She got off of him and stood to her feet. "Vaas needs us to kill the poachers." Stefan, like Diamond gave to Vaas, gave a confused look.

"Together?" Diamond nodded. Stefan got up and got dressed, holding hands; they went to the weapons shed.

"I'd say two snipers with power scopes should do it." Stefan took out two handguns and handed one to Diamond. "Take it, for insurance." Diamond took the gun and placed it in her waist."Alright then. Let's go."

It didn't take long before Stefan tracked the poachers to an old cave in the jungle. It was the perfect place to spot animals and pirates, killing either one on sight. Stefan broke silence but wasn't loud enough for the pirates to hear.

"The snipers are useless." Diamond pulled out the handgun. Stefan went first to make sure an easy entry for his wife. Stefan counted down from three and then on one, Stefan pulled the pin on a flashbang and threw it into the cave. The explosion was deafening but the poachers would have gotten the worst of it, if they were actually there.

Stephen went in to kill the first poacher only to find that they were not there. Diamond went in and examined the map inside to see where they might have gone but found nothing. She turned to tell Stefan. "Need you to track em' from here."

"O-" He was cut short, everything started to go in slow motion as Diamond felt the spray of her husbands blood on her face. The poachers had stabbed him from behind in the heart.

"NOOO!" Diamond took the hand gun and took out poacher #1. The other poachers rushed in as they couldn't see Diamond in the dark cave, and she knew it. She snuck up and stabbed the Second poacher in the back with her knife. Then taking the knife off of his hip and threw it right at the third poachers head.

Diamond rush over to her husband, she held him with tears rushing out of her eyes. Stefan took all his strength to wipe away the tears, giving her his last wish.

"B-Be happy. F-f-forget me. L-love again." This caused Diamond to cry even harder, unable to control it. "I Can't!" Stefan went to speak again but was gasping for air.

"P-PLEASE! No Tears, N-no S-a-adness." Diamond gave in and nodded. "I-Ill Try."

With that Stefan gave his last breath with his final words. "I Lo-ove you." Diamond began to ball again, sitting next to her husband's body, life-less. She must have sat there for hours, holding him there, until her phone rang. Hesitant to pick it up, she took her time reaching for it and hoped it would stop by the time she put it up to her head. It didn't and she answered trying to sound normal.

"Hello." It was hard not to cry, but she did.

"Where the fuck are you, did you take care of the poachers yet. It usually doesn't take you this long to finish a job." Vaas stated.

"I'm coming back now." Vaas noticed something wrong in her voice

"Why do you sound weird?"

"I'll be back soon." She hung up before giving Vaas a chance to speak again.

She found a car and put Stefan's body in it and drove back to the compound. The guards at the compound were shocked and immediately let her in and she drove to Vaas doorstep to drop off Stefan's body. Vaas opened his door as Diamond stood over Stefan's corpse.

"They snuck up on us but I still was able to take care of them."

Vaas stood there almost emotionless, but with Vaas that's never the case, Stefan and Vaas hated each other and Vaas always wanted her. He was probably enjoying this. Diamond turned around and walked away.

"Hey, where do you think your going, Chica? This was an order from Hoyt and he wanted to see the first person who took out the bastards."

"Sure."

Hoyt was on a job for a week so Diamond had some time to grieve her late husband even though he asked her not. While visiting where he was buried, Vaas snuck up behind her.

"Hey, Chica?" he was trying to sound like he cared. "Hoyt is ready to see you now." She turned around and gave Vaas a bit of a glare. "O.K. Let's go."

After saying goodbye she and Vaas went to the airstrip to take a ride to Hoyt's island. They landed and took a jeep from the helicopter to the compound. Hoyt's privateers were better funded than the pirates and it kinda made Diamond angry, thinking that if Stefan had that armor, he might still be alive. Then she knew she was just looking to blame someone. Second stage of grief or something, but she knew Hoyt was not the man to blame.

They entered the compound where Hoyt's office was on the second floor. Diamond heard rumors about Hoyt, but she had never actually seen him and she was nervous to meet him after hearing all the pirates talk about how vicious, relentless and cold-hearted he is. Vaas almost had to drag her up the stairs.

"You don't keep Hoyt waiting, Hermana." Diamond quickened her pace and waited outside to wooden double doors, waiting for Vaas to knock instead of her and he did.

"Come in." A hard South African accent said.

Vaas opened the doors to a man turned away from the doors in his leather chair, holding a cigar in his hand. Vaas spoke first before Diamond could say anything.

"This is the pirate that took out the poachers."

Diamond looked at him with a glare. Vaas seemed confused. "What?" He mouthed to her so Hoyt couldn't hear. Then the man turned around and placed the cigar on the table in a crystal ashtray. Hoyt gave her a look of confusion.

"You're a girl? Vaas didn't tell me that." He shot a Piercing look through Vaas made him almost submit. This made Diamond even more nervous, seeing Vaas' Reaction to Hoyt.

"Leave." Hoyt said to Vaas, He nodded to Hoyt and left the room, closing the doors behind him.

"So what is your name, pirate?" Hoyt still hadn't really made eye contact with Diamond, She was unsure why.

"Diamond, sir" She said looking directly at Hoyt, almost as if she were challenging him to make eye contact. While doing this realising how handsome Hoyt actually was for his age. Hoyt raised both eyebrows and noticed she was challenging him, so he stared right back with a small grin.

"Sit and have a drink, Diamond." His voice almost in a playful tone, which none of the pirates ever spoke of. Why was he acting this way for such a vicious man?

"I must say, the name suites you, and the fact you are a pirate is disgusting to me." Diamond gave a small grind as Hoyt poured two glasses of Scotch and handed one to Diamond. As she reached for the drink, he noticed the wedding band on her finger. After that his mood changed.

"So you're married" His voice was stern and his tone no longer playful. Diamond downed the Scotch as soon as Hoyt asked, and her face saddened.

"No. it apears Vaas didn't tell you a lot of things." Hoyts face went into a bit of an angry state.

"apparently he didn't. Why don't you fill me in?"

"Can I have another?" Diamond asked her voice cracking. Hoyt poured her another and was confused.

"It wasn't just me that went to kill the poachers. My husband went with me as well, he was a master tracker." Hoyt sat there intrigued. "We tracked them to a cave; we went in only to find nothing, until I turned around." Diamond drank the glass of Scotch. Tears beginning to form as Hoyt grew angry, not so much for her emotions being show, but for reasons he didn't know. "I turned around to him impaled by a knife." Hoyt knew she would ask, so he poured another drink for her.

"It appears you loved him very much." Hoyt said with compassion, which confused Diamond.

"I've heard so many stories of how much of a vicious killer you are, yet I only see that you care."

Hoyt gave her a chuckle as he got up from his desk. He went around sitting in front of Diamond.

"I'm not all bad." He assured her with a smile. She was unsure that so close to her husbands death, that falling in love was a good idea. Even though he told her to, but Hoyt? "A vicious killer? My boss?" She started thinking.

"I am sorry for your pain, but we all lose people. In your case some closer to others, but its business. I'm sure you know that." Hoyt said in a comforting manner and she did know.

"Yes, sir." What was happening? She thought to herself. "Was he being sweet just to get in my pants? No, he just takes what he wants but he doesn't seem like the boyfriend type." All these thought running in her head, unable to make sense. Hoyt cocked his head to one side with the faintest of smiles.

"You don't like the order of the cards in the deck, so shuffle the deck. Move on, it's the only thing you can do now." Hoyt said, almost fishing for an affectionate answer. Diamond put her head down and started to cry a little, as she did Hoyt put his hand on her shoulder, pulled her up, and kissed her. After all, this was Hoyt. He doesn't like to play games, he takes. Diamond unsure of what to do pulled away, Hoyt didn't like it but responded well.

"I don't know, I-It's just…I am confused. I don't know what to do." Hoyt smiled again, pulling her closer. "Kiss back." As he leaned in again Diamond beat him to it and kissed him back. It was very passionate, not just a "one time only" kiss.

"Why me, what do you think I can give you that no other girl on this island can?" Hoyt looked at her, swiping her hair out of her face and behind her ears. Quickly and lovingly he said.

"Love." Diamond looked at him confused. "I've been alone for 40 years, Sorry for aging myself, but it's true. No matter how vicious of a killer I am, a man can only take so much. A lot of it is just an act. I am not angry from being psychotic, it's because I'm alone." Hoyt said with much emotion. "But if I let anybody know im weak. They kill me. So I put up a front." Diamond hugged him, and Hoyt hugged back kissing her forehead. "I picked you because of your fearlessness; you walked right into this room and stared right at me, as a challenge, right?

"Yes, you weren't even looking at me, so I made you." She said with a smile.

"Nobody would dare to do that. In that I saw….I actually can't tell you what I saw. I just felt it. I looked at you differently; I don't want to say it. Don't make me." Hoyt said with a uncomfterble tone.

"I get it." Diamond said feeling safe and sane, for the first time since Stefan's death. Right then, there was a knock on the door. Diamond and Hoyt quickly left each others arms as Vaas walked in.

"Since when do we come in without permission?" Hoyt put up his angry camouflage again. Vaas backed down immediately and started backing out.

"No, your already in here, what do you want?"
