Jusuf hurled across the room. Sukandar is very dangerous when she is angry; she drew her pistol and pointed it at her man. Certainly she is gonna shoot. Her other aide, a large man named Amir, stepped back, worried that he will be executed afterwards.

"I gave you a simple order," Sukandar hissed. "And yet you failed me. You had many of your comrades killed and you escaped here, unharmed. Ali sacrificed his life for you to escape."

"Madame," Jusuf struggled to stand, wiping blood from his mouth. "Those men, and women, they are not humans! They went through our well-planned ambushed and mowed our soldiers like they were nothing."

"What he's saying is true, Madame," Amir said. "They are not policemen or soldiers, probably they are mercenaries hired by the villagers."

Sukandar holstered her gun, much to Jusuf's relief. "Who are they?" she demanded.

"I only got rough descriptions. One is definitely a big, black man. He is firing a big bored weapon, probably an automatic shotgun. The second man is a handsome young man with white hair. He is the sniper of the group. There are two women, the first one is a dark-skinned girl that dual-wields pistols, and the other one is a tall Latina with spectacles and armed with belt-fed machine gun."

"A black man and a dark-skinned girl?" a voice said on the door. Another pirate leader named Kiram entered. "I think I know who they are."

"Tell us," Sukandar said.

"I'm not sure, but there is a gang of mercenaries in Roanapur that fits their description. The woman is feared and respected for her skill with guns. I don't know her real name, but she is called Two Hands because of her ambidextrous shooting style. All I know is that they go around on an old US Navy PT boat."

Sukandar's insides somersaulted. "PT boat? "

Something came to Sukandar's mind. She didn't want to admit it, but she'd been had. Everything suddenly came together for her. Sukandar drew her gun and stormed into her room. She kicked open the door. "Rock!" she shouted.

But he was gone.

Sukandar looked around. One of her pistols is missing. Sukandar opened her bag and confirmed her worst fear. Her satellite phone is missing. "Son of a bitch!" she cursed, kicking the table and thrashing the room. "That bastard! He planned this all along! He let himself be captured so he can locate our base!"

"Find him!" she ordered Jusuf. "But don't kill him! He will die on my hands." She turned to Jusuf. "Get the package ready. We will leave immediately. We have a new target. We will turn that city into a radioactive wasteland."

"Where, Madame?" Amir asked but he already knew the answer.

"Roanapur."
