It was another day in the city of Roanapur. Streets filled with peoples who are shady, killers, robbers, homeless, hookers. Walking on the sidewalks and in town is a thirty year old man who's 5'10 tall, and he looks like a Japanese but he has a mix of Russian and Asian color skin since he's both Russian and Japanese. His body is Slim with a medium build and a six pack and has short brown hair and wearing a white collard long sleeve shirt and tan pants and brown shoes. He's also has a complete tribal tattoo on his left arm underneath his shirt, and carrying a big bag on his back. His name is Nathaniel Walsh.
'So this place called Roanapur, huh?' Said Nathaniel in his thoughts as he looked at his surrounding and see some people are staring at him. 'Guess, the rumors are true, this place is filled with people who are shady.'
As he continued walking, passing through some people, he noticed two Asian men are following him. Nathaniel then decide to lose them in the alley, but then two more men stepped into the other side of the alley, blocking Nathaniel's way.
"Can I help you gentlemen with something?" Nathaniel questioned with a Russian accent he has.
"Actually, stranger, we should be asking you that question since you must not be from here." Said the man. "So I guess that me and my boys are gonna show you our Roanapur welcoming committee."
With that said, he snap his fingers which telling his boys to bring out some weapons. The two men from behind brought out a knife and crowbar while the two more men in front, brought out a knife and a revolver. Nathaniel just stayed relax and just gave out a sigh. After that, a man from behind starts to rush to Nathaniel and tries to stab him with his knife but Nathaniel quickly turns around grabbed the man's hand which is he's holding the knife and then pulled out the man's gun from his shoulder holster that he should have pulled out and started shooting the man in the head killed him instantly and quick shot the rest easily before they could react. Nathaniel started scanning his victims. He killed two men with headshots and injured two of them. One of the injured tried to raise his revolver to kill him but Nathaniel shot him thrice before he could pull the trigger at him. The other one was scared and surprised of how he did that. He was too injured to move because he was shot in the chest and was having a hard time to breathe and was even drowning in his own blood. Nathaniel just watched the man suffer with his emotional look on his face.
"Should have left me alone." Nathaniel commented.
Nathaniel then drops the gun down and walks away leaving the man to die. After that, Nathaniel got out of the alley and acts like nothing happened.
"Wait! Please!"
Balalaika was standing right in front of the man, wearing a suit that has some blood stains. And her right hand man, Boris and her men pointing their handguns at the other Vietnamese bodyguards as they are kneel on the ground.
"Miss B-Balalaika, please, give us just few weeks, we will hand you the money! N-No bullshit!" The Vietnamese thug pleaded.
Balalaika sighed as she smokes her cigar, she wasn't in any mood right now, since she knew that those thugs don't have the money to pay them back. She pulled out her Stechkin APS and pointed at the forehead of the Vietnamese thug.
"Look I'm not any mood right now, as much I wanted to teach you a lesson, I have better things to do, consider yourself to be lucky, however-"
Balalaika then grab his shirt, raising him up to her face and continues talking to him.
"If you don't give me the money next week, then I will find you and kill you all myself."
Balalaika let go of him.
"Don't make me come back here."
The Vietnamese thugs gave them a scared nod as a reply that they understand.
"отбой, мы уезжаем." Balalaika said in Russian to order her men to stand down and leave the room along with their leader.
The Vietnamese leader relief, he was lucky, not be in wrath of Hotel Moscow, he began to get up from the floor, his friends do the same thing.
"Chúng ta phải làm gì bây giờ, ông chủ? (What do we do now, boss?)" A thug question. "Làm thế quái nào được, chúng tôi sẽ vượt tiền? (How the hell are we gonna get the money?)"
They then notice something odd about their leader, he grip his fist, meaning he is so anger.
"Boss, chúng ta làm gì? (Boss, what do we do?)" The second thug asked.
"Mang theo một chiếc xe xung quanh, và gọi một số bạn bè của chúng ta để phục kích Hotel Moscow. (Bring a car around, and call some friends of ours to ambush Hotel Moscow.)" Vietnamese thug leader said. "Tôi đã có nó với 'chiên-Face Chó'. (I've had it with that 'Fried-Face Bitch'.)"
As Nathaniel was walking, also ignoring the stares he receiving by the people of Roanapur, he notice one man was driving a car, and make a turn to block the road with the car, the driver get out, and a knife to cut a what appears to be a wire that attached to the engine. Nathaniel was confused then sees few cars coming from another direction and stops in front of the man who cut the wire of his car.
Balalaika was enjoying relaxing in the back seat, closing her eyes, remembering her past as serving her country, Russia. As she continuing relaxing, she felt that the car is slowly down, plus hearing some arguments she raise her eyebrow, and slowly opening her eyes.
"То, что, как представляется, проблема? (What's seem to be the problem?)" Balalaika asked.
"Мне очень жаль, капитан, кажется, наш водитель спорит с другим водителем, кто фиксирующим его машину, блокируя дорогу. (I'm sorry, Captain, it seems our driver is arguing to another driver who's fixing his car while blocking the road.)" Boris explained.
As little did they know that an upcoming truck coming at them from the left. After a bit of driving, the truck collided with the Balalaika's car, causing it to topple over. After the crash, the driver of the truck comes out a little wounded and was rushing to Balalaika's car with an AK in his hand. Also more armed Asian men came out from the back of the truck charging and firing at Balalaika's car. It was the Vietnamese Thugs who are retaliating on Hotel Moscow. Balalaika and her men managed to get out of the car and took cover behind it. They were pinned down behind their car but still manage to return fire on the thugs. Balalaika and her men were calm because they've been under fire before and this means nothing to them.
"Должен ли я называть подкреплений, капитан ?! (Should I call reinforcements, Captain?!)" Questioned Boris.
Before Balalaika could answer, there was a loud gunshot ranged from a building and a bullet hit a thug to the head and killed him. More shot ranged and eliminating the Thugs. Balalaika and even her men were confused of where's the shooting coming from but was amazed of the accuracy. Not one missed yet. The Vietnamese Thug leader tried running after seeing all of his guys did but his escape was failure when he was shot in the back in the head and fell to the ground dead. From a building window is Nathaniel holding a smoking barrel of a bolt action Remington Model 700. He was responsible for the shooting and killing all Vietnamese Thugs and saved the lives of Balalaika and her men. After seeing all of the Thugs dead, he starts to walk away from the building window. While the other members of Balalaika's followers were still checking on the bodies, footsteps were heard. Balalaika heard them first and went ahead and saw someone walking here view became clearer taking a good gaze at the person she believed is the sniper that saved her and her people from the thugs.
"I will take a guess that you're our mysterious sniper who took down the bastard who own me money." Balalaika said as Boris and her men are slowly lowering their weapons but keeping an eye on Nathaniel.
"Yes." Said Nathaniel. "Since you have everything under control, I'll let you be then."
When Nathaniel turned around and before he could walk away, Balalaika's men pointed their guns at him. Stopping him from leaving.
"I'm guessing that you are a stranger of Roanapur, correct?"
Nathaniel was in another new guy situation. He was getting very irritated as he gave out a sigh.
"Look I'm not here to make trouble." Said Nathaniel as he turned around looking at Balalaika and her men. "I've already killed four men for trying to kill me because I'm new here in Roanapur. I'm only here because I think it's where I belong."
Balalaika gave her hand signal to order her men to put down their weapons, which they did. As she started walk closely to Nathaniel, and walk around him, beginning to examine him. Nathaniel didn't mind but was kind of worried that she might attack him so he still stayed ready.
"May I ask…what do you mean by that?" Balalaika asked.
Nathaniel look at her, while he look again at her men.
"Well I can't go back to Russia anymore because basically there's nothing waiting for me, I been into too much battles and I've killed a lot of people. There's nothing for me to live in a normal life. "
"So you must be a soldier...correct?"
"You can say that. I was more of a freedom-fighter."
"Interesting."
Later two cars came to Balalaika, her men and Nathaniel. It were a few of Balalaika's men including Polansky to escort her out of the area.
"Well I would have my men escorting you to an apartment for you to live in if that is alright with you." Balalaika requested.
"I prefer to sleep in an alley but to someone like you, I will not turn down an offer." Nathaniel answered.
Balalaika started walking into her car with Boris and her men and Nathaniel was going in another car with other Balalaika's men to take him to an apartment. Before he got in.
"Oh I haven't quite catch your name."
"Nathaniel…Nathaniel Walsh."
"Nathaniel. Well I will try to contact you for a job. I think it may suits you and you know…Roanapur is dangerous place to live in…but skills like that you might live longer here."
"I'll try."
As Nathaniel and Balalaika's men arrived to the apartment that balalaika requested for Nathaniel, Nathaniel was first to head to the apartment and when he open the door, he see that his apartment is rudimentary, with a futon (sofa-bed), a television, a dirty kitchen with a table, a radio and a wall with peeling wallpaper. A design poster of a blue convertible with a white stripe can be found in the house, as can numerous posters of scantly clad women. There is an another door in the corner of the kitchen, presumably leading to the bathroom. Before he could relax, one of Balalaika's men came in and speaks to Nathaniel.
"Ms. Balalaika, has a job for you, so pay close attention."
Nathaniel turned around and nodded.
"We know who ambushed and was about kill our leader, and she ask you to find him and kill him."
"Wait, if you guys know where he is then why not do it yourself?" Nathaniel asked curiously.
"As much we wanted to, but unfortunately, Miss Balalaika has other things to do, and we will pay you for getting the job done."
Nathaniel sighed and nodded to accept the job.
"Good, your target is Chou and he's now in hotel called 'The Valkyrie', he's planning to get outta of the city after he heard about his plan was failed and he assume that we are coming for him." Balalaika's men explained.
"Any resistance?" Nathaniel asked as he started to pull out a 9mm handgun and some ammos.
"Just a few men, nothing more." Another balalaika's men replied. "We must go now before he starts leaving."
Later, there is a hotel called The Valkyrie. On the fourth floor are a few men guarding the hallways and in a room 409 is the Vietnam leader Chou. He is sitting on his couch with his suitcase smoking a cigarette. He very stressed out that his plan to kill Balalaika was failed and he had to leave Roanapur before Hotel Moscow shows up. In the hallway, the thugs in the hallway noticed the ring of the elevator and when the door opened they see an unknown man inside which is Nathaniel. He still has his emotionless death look. Nathaniel gets off from the elevator and started walking his way to room 409. One of Vietnamese thug tries to block his path but Nathaniel pulls out a Makarov pistol and shoots the thug in the chest twice and killed him. The other three thugs in the hall were too slow to react as Nathaniel shot them quick as well. He even had to shoot them twice of each to make sure that they're dead. The loud bang caused people screaming from their rooms. From Chou's room, he didn't know what happened to his men from out in the halls and knows that Hotel Moscow must be here. As he walks to the door with a revolver in his hand, it was then kicked down by Nathaniel and before Chou could react, he was shot in the knee and was round kicked to the face by Nathaniel. When he fell to the ground, he started crawling away in fear. Chou was even begging for mercy when he looked at Nathaniel's face of death.
"N-No please! W-Whoever you are...Y-You don't have to do this!" Begged Chou in English. "Just let me go and I'll pay you!"
"You shouldn't have tried to kill Balalaika." Said Nathaniel.
Nathaniel then pulls out some ancient tribal dagger with a snake design on the handle. He then walks up to starts to slash Chou as he screamed. As Nathaniel came out of the hotel with a black bag with blood dripping from the bottom in his hand, he sees couple of police officers pointing their revolvers at him.
"Get your ass on the ground!" One of the officers yelled at him.
As Nathaniel showed no emotion and was about to pull out his gun out, he sees couple of cars coming to the scene, the door was opening, revealing to be Balalaika and rest of her men.
"That's not how you treat my guest, lower your weapons, now." Balalaika orders them.
They lowered their firearms and she began to walk towards to Nathaniel.
"Did you killed him?"
"Yes. Including his men." Nathaniel replied in his normal calm tone. "I even have proof."
Nathaniel put the black bag he was holding on the ground, unzips it and shows the Vietnamese thug's head and heart in a bag. When the chief saw what's inside he'd quickly walked away and started puking. Nathaniel shows no emotions of showing a head from a deceased thug leader to the leader of Hotel Moscow…including his heart.
"Too much proof?" Nathaniel asked.
"Well it's the first time someone showed me proof of my targets." Balalaika replied back.
"So…does this mean that I'm going to jail for this?" Nathaniel asked because of the police's presents here.
"Why, of course not. These officers that stands before you will erase this incident like it never happen. I'm woman of my word. Now, I see there is something in you that can be useful for this city, the question is will you take the offer?"
Nathaniel thinking at Balalaika's offer, he didn't know anywhere else that the world has someplace for him.
"Yes." Nathaniel answered Balalaika's question.
Balalaika then snap her fingers, one man came up, holding a case of cash, he gives it to him, and balalaika gives a phone to Nathaniel.
"What's this for?"
"For whenever job I will called you for it." Balalaika explained, "And you can keep the car, 'He' won't be able to use it as matter of time."
Nathaniel looked at the car, it was a dark blue 1990 BMW. He stopped of what he was doing and focused on Balalaika.
"Well, I guess, you can enjoy of what this city have for you, Mr. Walsh."
Nathaniel nodded as his response and both of them went to their separate ways. Just before Nathaniel could leave, he heard.
"And one more thing."
Nathaniel turned around and stare at leader of Hotel Moscow.
"Welcome to Roanapur."
She then walks away to her car. She didn't notice that Nathaniel is staring at her body in the back. She didn't do anything except smile. She finally entered her car and driven away. Nathaniel looks up at the sky and sighed
'Let's see how my story here will turn out.' He thought as he put the cash case in the back of the seat and gets in the car, started up and goes back to his apartment.
From a far distance away from the Hotel was Eda. It seems like she saw the whole thing and started to walk away. As she walks she went to a paid phone and started calling someone. After two rings, someone answered which was Aaron.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's me." Eda answered. "I got some news. Looks like you're not the only outside that gained Balalaika's trust."
"What do you mean?"
"Turns out that there's a new outsider and did a job for Balalaika to kill some low level Vietnamese Thugs."
"Any idea who this outsider is?"
"No clue but I think Hotel Moscow just hired themselves a hitman…so be careful…and try not to get on Hotel Moscow's kill-list."
"No worries. I'll try to."
"Good. Just wanted to give you a heads up."
"Thanks Eda."
Eda hangs up the phone and starts to walk way but then there was a ringing coming from Eda's pocket. Eda knows what that mean which she got upset and started looking around to make sure no one is around her before pulling her phone out and answered it.
"Why are you calling me?" Eda questioned on her phone.
"You've been quiet ever since you were in Roanapur." Said a known deep voice on the other line.
"No shit because I'm undercover remember?"
"You know you are still under investigation because of Aaron Rorke went rogue."
"And I told you I had nothing to do with that and I have no fucking clue where he is. If you're thinking about that I'm protecting him then fuck you because I'm not, sir. I would never betray my country."
"Whatever you say, Agent Blackwater. Just know that we're watching you…we're always are. So do not betray us…and you know what to do when you see Rorke."
"I know what to do. I'll keep you updated, sir." After the call ended she put the phone back into her pocket and started walking. "Fucking asshole."
