Disclaimer: I do not own Black Lagoon, which belongs to Rei Hiroe. The only thing I own are my Ocs.

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to another installment of Vampires in Roanapur! The chapter took a little longer than I anticipated, because I had ran into writer's block. Johan past will be revealed and there will be shocking twists coming eventually (that'll be towards the end). Anyways, enjoy.

"Dammit, where the hell is Revy?" Dutch said as he paced back and forth. Johan, Sawyer, Shenhua, Lotton and Benny were in the Lagoon Company headquarters today, all unaware of what had transpired last night. "Wonder if stupid bitch passed out?" Shenhua said with a snark as Johan opened a bottle of Seagram's 7. Suddenly, the door to the office burst open, with a panicky Rowan entering swiftly, panting heavily . "I-i-it's 'bout Rebecca, my man... Rock bit her last night!"

At that revelation, everyone's reaction was immediate. "WHAT?" Johan slammed his fist down on the table. "DAMMIT! This is not good!" "Tell me everything..." Dutch said to Rowan as the owner/manager of the GoofFest strip club recounted the events that occurred last night when he was watching from a camera, which he installed so that he could videotape people having public sex. After he finishes, Rowan leaves the office quickly, but not before saying gooodbye to the group.
"Oh boy, if Revy is on the vampiresses' side, then Roanapur may become a fleeting memory much sooner than anticipated," Dutch intoned as Benny finished off the Budweiser. "It cannot get any worse..." Sawyer the Cleaner said through her Ultravoice as she sat next to the vampire hunter.

Suddenly, a familiar face enters the office. It was Mr. Chang. "Hello Dutch, and how are you doing, given the situation the city's in right now?" "I'm afraid I got some bad news. We just found out that the vampires got to Revy last night," Dutch said as Mr. Chang widened his eyes. "Oh shit, this is NOT good." Johan suddenly got up and said, "I'll be back later, I need to think about the perfect plan..." He nods at Sawyer, letting her know it's okay to tell the others what he told her. His reason for revenge... "Alright Johan, but be at Hotel Moscow in about 6 to 8 hours; Balalaika has called a meeting, and it involves us." Dutch said to Johan as he gets up to leave. "Will do, Dutch."

After Johan leaves, Sawyer points at Dutch. "Hmm, you need something Sawyer?" She nods as she hands the paper over to Dutch as he reads the contents. When he finished reading, he now understood why Johan wants revenge. "Well, at least I know why Johan has a hatred for vampires...Can't blame him, though," Dutch said as he gives back the note to Sawyer. "Huh? What do you mean Dutch?" Benny asked. "Well Benny-boy, since we got 6 to 8 hours left before we head to Hotel Moscow, I might as well tell you what brought Johan here..."

Scenery change: At the abandoned warehouse.

"*whistles* Damn Rev. No wonder they call you 'Two-Hands'." Ripper said as she sees all of the targets destroyed. Reloading her twin custom Berettas, Revy replied, "Fuckin' A, baby! Although there's another meaning for my moniker, if ya know what I mean." She made the jacking-off sign as she finished replying, earning a laugh from Ripper. "HAHAHAHA! Oh man, Rocky shoulda see you do that!" The two, who at first started butting heads but have since been buds after finding out their common love, which is guns and money, laughed when Greta entered the room, with Rock, Jillian and Ivana following her.

"Listen up everyone! There is a vampire hunter on the loose!" Greta said as the rest listened. Revy said, "Wait a minute, ya mean Johan?" Greta's eyes widened at that name. "You just don't know when to quit, do you, Johan. After all, you knew me very well..." As she is in deep thought, Revy got her attention. "Oi, you awake there?" "Oh, sorry about that Two-Hands. Just hearing that name brought back memories. *thinking* Memories that I won't forget, that's for sure..." Jillian said, "Oh ho ho, so he doesn't know the real truth..." Greta nodded with an unreadable face. "Anyways, we need to get ready in two days." "Why is that?" Revy asked, curiousity biting at her. "You'll find out... *thinking* Much sooner than I thought. This will be interesting..."

6 hours later at Hotel Moscow...

Balalaika sat on her chair surrounded by the Desantniki, the equivalent of a special ops team for Hotel Moscow. Attending the meeting were Abrego, Chang, The Lagoon Company, Sawyer, Lotton, Shenhua, and Johan. "I have called you here on a serious matter. According to our many sources, there are vampires running rampant in Roanapur. Apparently, they intend to bring about the end of humanity by using a deadly biochemical weapon that changes a human into a vampire instantaneously." "What? Ay, you're off your rocker, Balalaika! Vampires? Feh, I don't believe it," Abrego scoffed. "Under the normal circumstances Abrego, this may be true. But this is no joking matter. This could spell the end of Roanapur as we know it. Now Rock and Revy became vampires themselves and have joined forces with the vampires."

"W-w-w-what? Ay, not good! Kill 'em, I say!" Abrego shouts, now realizing that the Russian mafia leader wasn't kidding. "Now hold on a sec. Shouldn't we focus on locating their lair?" Chang asks. "Agreed. If we do not know where those bloodsuckers are, then how are we going to stop them?" Dutch said. Sawyer decided to write something reall y fast on paper and hands it to Balalaika. After reading what she wrote, Balalaika knew what kind of vehicle they drive. "Hmm, this may be a promising lead. If we spot the car based on the Cleaner's description, then we must tail them from a distance. In war, sometimes you have to wait and watch the enemy's movements before making a plan, rather than rushing blindly into a potential checkmate," she explained as the others nodded in agreement.

"Now then, we must prepare a stake-out. Be on the lookout for the '67 Rebel; if you spot the car, let me know ASAP. The vampires have overstayed their welcome here. They will now know the true meaning of war..." Balalaika finished with a psychotic smirk, unnerving Abrego and his men. "Dismissed." With that, everyone got up to leave her office. Just as Johan gets up to leave, Balalaika said, "Except you, Mr. Johan. I would like to have a word with you, in private." She signals the special ops team to leave, as Johan sits back down.

When everyone is gone, she slowly stood up, her scarred face in a serious gaze, then said to Johan, "Tell me your reason for revenge, if you please." He sighed. He was not looking forward to this. "Alright. The leader is the reason why I must kill her and her ilk. She murdered my family and my beloved brother in cold blood. They didn't have a chance. You see, I come from a family where they want vampires and humans to coexist peacefully. I used to be one of those who wanted coexistence. Then one day, I was betrayed by my best friend. Greta..." Balalaika frowned at that. "iSo I was right.../i." she thought to herself as she listened to Johan.

"Five years ago, when I was 17, I came back home from high school. When I entered the house, all I saw was blood. It was everywhere. I saw my father... with his head cut off, and my mother iskinned alive./i That's when I saw my elder brother, mortally wounded. I rushed to him, trying to stop the bleeding, when he uttered his last words that scarred me mentally: 'Greta did this, just to test out her power. Please, kill her and her kind for me, for they intend to assimilate humanity into vampirism, with chemical warfare...' Then he died in front of me. My once vibrant eyes have turned as dark as the abyss. My eyes now hold hatred for that ibitch/i that did this to me. I thought vampires could be trusted. I guess I was a fool..." After he finished, Balalaika looked at him and made a decision that would horrify Johan for the rest of his life. "Betrayal, huh? I guess your brother didn't tell you ieverything/i, did he?"
