Chapter 25: Back to Roanapur
Rock, Revy, and Roberta were left astounded that the man they thought was dead was alive.
Rock's mind began to wander as he questioned what transpired as he looked around the room, "I can't believe this. One moment, I have a gun to my head by some plum haired woman. The next, I'm listening to a story about some killer who's back from the dead dismantling a city with ease." He regained his composure as he turned back to the Russian, "So what happened after Santiago left?"
"It wasn't a happy ending. I didn't expect to see that many dead," everyone turned around to see Benny walking in. He flickered his glasses, "I can't explain things but this was worse than Roberta's time in Roanapur."
"Haven't seen that many bodies for so many years," said Dutch as he walked in. He explained to them what transpired, "We were going to Roanapur to see if Balalaika had any jobs available for us. Benny and I arrived at the docks when we saw smoke."
"We went to check around the city and found plenty of dead bodie and surprised when I caught the sight of a kid's neck tied up to a noose." The last statement made most people in the room cringe. " He continued, "It was a ghost town. Almost everyone was dead. We found a few people who were hiding and Bao from the Yellow Flag, however, when we managed to arrive at Hotel Moscow..."
"We found some shit we never wanted to see," Dutch added.
Benny looked at Balalaika and Chang as they gave him nods to explain the situation. He sighed at first knowing of the story, "We found all of Balalaika's men tied to the bottom of a building but we found Chang's and Balalaika chained to the top of the building with their bodies exposed and pummeled. That's about it. " He adjusted his glasses as he made his way out the room, "These guys are more treacherous than anyone in this room and this Santiago is very pernicious and malicious. Hate to say this, but not even Rock's abilities can save us. He knows us all so he has us beaten before the battle has begun."
Revy refused to agree with Benny's words, "Fuck that shit. I don't give a fuck if he's known our fucking asses for twenty years. I'm going to shoot his balls off and feed them to himself."
Roberta shook her head, "Remember when you fought that other Santiago? This is the same attitude that was your downfall. Now what would you think the outcome would be if you fought this Santiago?"
The gunslinger walked out not uttering another word as Chang stood up despite the pain, "It seems like this guy is far above anyone that has been in Roanapur. However, he's done a vast ton to my city and my people. I don't have anything left. That's why we want to hire you again, Rock."
"You want me to take down this guy?"
Balalaika closed her eyes with her hands folded, "You have survived every battle you been around and have survived some dangerous people including me. I know there's no reason for you guys to accept this assignment but I will thank you properly."
He looked her in the eye, "Don't worry, guys are our focus. You can thank us later. "
She smiled, "Spoken like a true negotiator."
"I'll thank you as well Rock. I better get going. It's going to be a long day especially since Roanapur is gone."
Balalaika waited for everyone to leave and then halted the negotiator, "Rock, before you go, there's something I want to discuss."
Rock stood up unaware of Balalaika's movements. She walked over and opened the window.
Rock shifted his eyes towards the left, "Are you going to say how I'll make a great villain if I picked up a gun or would've had killed me for refusing your assignment?"
She walked close to him as he was expecting "the gun to the head" routine as he focused his attention to her, "No, Rock. Ever since you've arrived in Roanapur, I knew you would be the man you are today. I know you understand some Russian so..." To Rock's surprise, she undid her red skirt suit.
Rock had barely any words to tell her as he looked upon her scarred figure, "Mrs. Balalaika?"
The woman looked down finishing undressing the rest of her clothing off exposing her bare skinned figure in his direction as Rock had a disgusted facial reaction from other scars that Rock knew were branded by Santiango. He gazed upon her battered physique as she spoke to him in her native language, "Vy vidite, pochemu vy dolzhny yego ubit'. Vashi slova k nemu okazhutsya neeffektivnymi. On ub'yet Revy i Roberta. Vy - nasha poslednyaya nadezhda iz-za vashego opyta nablyudeniya i strategii. Ne pozvolyayte nikomu drugomu stradat'. Yesli ne dlya menya, sdelayte eto dlya tekh, kto imeyet znacheniye. Ubeyte yego i vse, chto svyazano." She dressed herself back as she saw Rock understood every word but was still conflicted about the road ahead of him.
Rock then came out through the doors with many emotions and reactions running through his head. He kneeled down feeling exhausted from the story and what he gazed upon. A hand appeared in front of him as he shifted his eyes to his lovely maid. He grabbed her hand and held on which surprised but at the same time amazed her. She noticed seeing him grabbed his head many times as she attempted to aid, "Do you need some aspirins, Rock?"
He shook his head, "That's alright, Roberta. Just so much to take in. That story..."
Her smile disappeared a little, "Yes, especially Santiago. He's even worse than the guy we saw back at the island."
Rock then came up with an idea, "Say Roberta, you've been involved in many wars. Do you have an idea of anyone who would be responsible for this? I mean you've killed many people. Maybe someone's out for revenge."
Her attention was now turned to Rock thinking about all the incidents that happened in her life time, "I've been involved in many wars and fought plenty of enemies but as I can conclude, there wasn't anyone with the skills that Balalaika mentioned."
"So my only guess would be that former soldiers or new members went through severe training methods that would turn them into merciless weapons," he suggested.
She nodded ,"That is a good possibility, Rock."
Rock then thought of something else but unrelated, "Thank you, Roberta. Hey wait, where's Revy?"
"She went up ahead. I can tell that she was very frustrated and plenty is going through her mind but she should return a few hours from now."
"You're right. A couple of hours should get her mind back on track. By the way Roberta, How's Garcia and Fabiola?"
A sincere grin surfaced on her face, "Thank you for asking. Young master has grown. He's been busy with a few meetings and Fabiola has watched over him."
Rock was a little amazed about Garcia, "Wow. So Garcia has meetings now. So unreal."
Images floated through her mind of w "Thanks again, Rock. If not for you, young master and I would be dead."
"Don't mention it Roberta although it wasn't an easy feat. I do wonder something.
She responded, "Yes, Rock?"
He suggested as they made their way back to their room, "Maybe you should hire someone else for Garcia. He might need more protection since he's moving up the ranks."
"I appreciate the suggestion but I've thought of that idea and he's a great man like you. I know he's the perfect candidate."
"That's good. Who's this guy?"
A couple of hours passed since Rock and Roberta were in their room but Revy still wasn't visible. Rock realized that what she heard had a strong effect. Rock relaxed on the bed until Roberta sat beside him offering him some coke. After a drink, he decided to look for the gunslinger. Roberta suggested to him that they should try places that Revy would enter and he agreed with her as they tried the places that Rock and Revy went to during their date. They managed to arrive at a gun shooting range where they saw people hiding behind a table.
Rock walked up to the door and opened it revealing a gunslinger firing non-stop, "Revy?"
She stopped shooting hearing his voice and she turned around with a smile but a non killing one, "Hey what's up?"
Rock suggested, "We thought..."
She laughed it off, "That what? I'll be at the fucking docks pissing my pants? Those fuckers are strong, Rock and no fucking way I'm allowing those fucking bastards to kill me...to kill any of us."
Smiling, Roberta stood with her arms crossed, "It's good to know the woman I fought at Roanapur has returned. I was beginning to think I would have to fight you again."
Revy placed her guns back in her holster, "Well you found me and now if you two are done worrying about me, let's get out of here."
Rock placed his hand on Revy as all three exited out towards their home. One of the men in the shooting range walked towards her station and pulled the target sheet towards him. His facial expression was like he shit his pants. He took a look and left astonished to see that all ten target sheets had bullet holes through the targets. Everyone then ran towards the station to look at the sheets and they all looked back as they wondered of the woman's identity.
Back at home, the trio had some lunch, the usual burger with cheese and some lemonade with rum. After they finished, everyone was exhausted as they all took naps and the two women ended up waking up around eight at night which surprised them. Revy and Roberta exchanged glares as the gunslinger smiled knowing something was brewing and rather than ask the maid, she told her she was going to the bar alone. Roberta didn't take her eyes off Rock and smiled at him but was skeptical about a few events.
A few minutes later, the negotiator woke up with a huge yawn as he looked on the clock and it's odd time. Then he saw Roberta looking straight at him and he greeted her with a smile, "Hey Roberta. Where's Revy?"
She stayed on her seat still with her eyes locked on Rock, "She went to the bar and insisted it's best if she think things through alone about the upcoming battle."
Rock rubbed and shook his head to fully get himself awaken then walked closer to Roberta, "Good thing we know where she is. Now maybe we can..." He was going in for a kiss but Roberta pull back shocking him.
He was amazed that she was uninterested in a kiss. He shifted his eyes away knowing there was a chance for a hurricane. She got off her seat and walked beside him as she made sure he got the message, "You saw her naked."
Rock was confused, "Wait, what?"
"The woman in the red business outfit: You saw her naked just as she called you back in the room."
Honest as possible, his focus was on her eyes as he nodded knowing he was going to get knocked out, "You're right. I saw her naked but nothing of contact or intimacy occurred. The reason for her exposure was to display to me the scars she received of recent. I didn't want to look but of everything I've seen, I knew my eyes had to be glue on for a while so she spoke in her native tongue. I understand if you want to deviate from our relationship."
He saw her eyes, eyes that were ready to prey on him. She took a few steps behind him, "I've heard enough, Rock. I'll need a moment to think of our current status. Maybe you and Revy are meant for one another." She walked towards the back of the room and slammed door so Rock could hear it. He knew she was pissed as he noticed her eyes and her steel fist and that maybe drinking with Revy was a better option for him but at the same time, he didn't want to lose Roberta despite their odd relationship.
After half an hour, There was no sign of Roberta as Rock assumed she was still pissed or she fell asleep and knowing her stamina, she was pissed. All of a sudden, Rock heard a voice at the other side of the room. He advanced over to that side and came across the door that kept him and Roberta separated. She threw what appeared to be a blindfold on the ground. She ordered Rock to walk over and sit at the side of the bed then place the blindfold over his eyes and although he was about to ask, he ignored his instincts and did as he was told. Rock told her that the blindfold was over his eyes and he imagined that she didn't want him seeing her beating down on him. He heard the door open and could feel her cool, minty breath and the moment he inhaled her aroma, he was mystified.
Then he hear a familiar sound which he concluded had to be the light switch. He could feel her pulling him by the tie and slamming him against the door closest to the entrance. She raised her voice slightly, "So Rock, was everything you said before the truth?"
He had been in this predicament before as he felt this was no different from when she first came with her umbrella gun and aimed for his head. He answered calmly, "Yes it was. There's no reason to lie to the woman I love."
She could sense his denial, "No. I know you and Revy have history. If you want her then move on with her."
He shook his head, "You're wrong. I love her and I thank you for inviting her back in my life but you're the reason I was able to have my time with Revy and that made me realize how special a woman you are."
She took a breath as she turned on the lights, "I hate to be rude after listening to your confession but this must be done for the two of us. Prepárate para una noche difícil. "
She threw him against the wall and tugged on his tie as Rock felt her juicy powerful lips bulldozing his own as he found and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She bit his lip until she saw a minute amount of blood surface. Unknown to Rock, she smiled as she licked the bitten area as Rock could feel her tongue massaging it. She continued with the kiss as she lowered herself and Rock to the floor where Rock was in a seating position while she was on her knees.
She released the kiss as Rock could feel her grabbing the blind fold, "I hope I wasn't too rude, Rock."
A naughty grin surfaced on the negotiator as he gave her the "Ok", "No. If I'm going to get slammed against walls and kissed by you, by all means, continue."
She chuckled and was happy that Rock was enjoying himself despite the circumstances and slowly removed the blindfold from his face. Rock awakened his eyes and when he was able to clearly see, he was left speechless at the masterpiece.
He was unable to say a complete sentence as Roberta stood up in front of him, "Umm...Roberta...you..."
She was in a lingerie costume that featured a white halter bra top with a white front cut out and lacy collar detail, scrunched bust accent, a white backside tie, a matching skirt with lacy apron, a black g-string, black see through lacy stockings , and white and black lace trimmed wrist cuffs. In addition, her hair was in the style of French side braid with voluminous curls, and her signature glasses. She kneeled back down grabbing Rock's cheeks as she drew him into another kiss this time being passionate and he could hear moans in between the kiss. He released the hold for second to gaze upon her glimmering, crimson lips as he drew her back in returning a passionate kiss of his own causing the maid to lay on her back and Roberta was about to remove her glasses but Rock prevented her letting her know she looked great with them. Their tongues began performing the Salsa as the climate transformed to warm and humid; they would kiss each other back and forth multiple times as smiles grew on their faces. Rock the undid his shirt and was about to unravel his tie but she stopped him telling to keep the tie which caused him to chuckle. She would massage his chest with a new feather duster.
He said her name multiple times, "Roberta, Roberta, Roberta."
She got close to him undoing her bra as he looked at her eyes, "I think you are hungry, Rock. Why don't you have a taste?"
He grinned, "Yeah. I promise to finish my meal."
She smiled at that statement growing more impressed with his actions and positions where she responded with a louder moan. He removed her top revealing her enormous breasts as he began moved to her next breast while he massaged the other partner as she pulled him up into another kiss. They both took turns licking and kissing stomachs while Rock's arm caressed Roberta's legs. She then nibbled on Rock's neck causing a small moan.
She grabbed him by the tie and saw him with a naughty grin as he grabbed her shoulders,"Senorita Roberta. Muéstrame lo que realmente puedes hacer. "
She grew a naughty grin as well removing her glasses, "Sr. Rock, estaré encantado de hacerlo."
She removed his pants and underwear revealing a sturdy cock which she stroked a few times then positioned the rod inside her. The glasses were off as he knew she was about to go one hundred percent on him.
He told her again, "Don't hold back. I can take it."
She nodded as she began slowly scratching his chest while she was a rabbit hopping up and down on him but she would only start slow a few seconds then increased her accelerator to about twenty mph as Rock grabbed on to her hips noticing her speed but that she was able to stay on the road calling out Rock's names and Rock shouted out hers. Roberta felt Rock's gun shoot up his bullets inside her as drips of her sweat landed on Rock's chest as the two were exhausted as she fell on top of him as she continued biting his shoulders, arms, and chest while Rock grabbed her ass and held on tight as they bit each other's lips and the negotiator bit her shoulders and scratched her back feeling the scars which he found as beautiful. He then gnaw her neck a few times hearing a couple more moans as she massaged his cock and maneuvered her pussy towards Rock's mouth as he commenced eating her.
With a stern voice, she called out, "Don't let go, Rock. Show me who you are ."
He tapped her arm a few times as a signal of agreement. A few minutes later, drops of Roberta's juices fell into Rock's mouth as she told him with her eyes not to leave a drop on her pussy. He didn't as he enjoyed kissing her other lips as she slowly crawled over to his pants and pulled out some cigarettes and grabbed a lighter to both and crawled over next to him ending in a short, strong kiss. Roberta rested on his shoulder as Rock groaned a little due to the bites.
He held tightly onto her arm kissing it a few times, "Thanks, Roberta. I needed that. You took things up a notch but I want you to know that my eyes have mostly been on you and this will be hard for her ,but I'll let go of Revy."
She nodded hearing his honest, sincere words which caused her to smile, "I appreciate your speech but there won't be any need to depart with Revy."
He questioned her, "Are you certain? I mean I don't want this to be hard for..."
She removed the cigarette kissing his lips as he nodded with a smile knowing that he shouldn't speak, "Forgive me but you needed to shut up. I know you're thinking about the future...our future and that is good but I don't think there's a need for us to worry about such things for now also I know you're lying about things being hard for Revy. It will actually be difficult for you as well since you and Revy reconnected not to mention she can be difficult at times so how simple will it be for you to separate your connection with Revy?"
He sighed with the look of defeat knowing she was right about the situation, "Nothing gets passed you."
She caressed his shoulder nonstop, "I would be disappointed if I haven't noticed. Your observation skills are above average, however, your ability to hide your emotions are poor. It's obvious how you feel for her and for myself but I'm glad to know your emotions are sincere and honest."
Rock shifted his face away from Roberta, "I don't know where I would be without you two but why did you have us embark on a date. Didn't you know where it would lead to?" Then Rock gazed at her eyes and noticed, "You did realize it and knew the consequences."
She nodded while continuing the massaging, "You are correct. I knew of your history with her and I had to allow you to pursue her and discover if your feelings were strong for her."
"Yeah I realized our connection was still strong but I fell for you and with some confliction."
"I realized I created that conflict and your feelings are strong for her. If you must know, my feelings for her are strong as well."
Rock was slightly surprised by her confession, "You like Revy? I thought that was just one of those good times you wanted to share or just make sure there wasn't anymore sparring sessions over me."
She continued with her explanation, "They emerged when she returned here and I know what you will say: Yes her insults and swearing tend to get in the way plus she's a loud mouth at times but behind it all is a woman who's full of numerous amounts of adrenaline and bewilderment."
He smiled at her, "Yeah, I know another woman who fits under that category."
She decided to play along knowing full well of Rock's teasing, "Do I know this woman?"
He grabbed her hand and one of her cheeks drawing in for what appeared to be an eternal display of kissing. It wasn't about until three minutes when he released the hold on her lips, "Yeah, she's beautiful and I'm staying with her."
She grabbed Rock's hand and proceeded to the bathroom where they continued their adventures in the bathtub. After half an hour, they were dressed in pajamas and preparing themselves for slumber as Rock kissed Roberta.
However, Rock slap his forehead realizing a mistake of his, "Roberta, I forgot to wear a condom. I was careless."
"It's alright, Rock. It's my fault actually but I have no regrets of our you inside me was worthwhile."
Rock shook his head not confident in handling such a woman in that manner, "Likewise. It's unfortunate, and you'll call me insane, but I wouldn't mind taking you on while in your other state although I don't think I would last long."
Her naughty eyes shifted to him, "We can try it out if you want."
He shook his head yawning, "No. I just want to get some sleep beside you."
Roberta then grew curious as her arm ran across his arm, "Rock, I want to know something."
He responded while rubbing her hair, "Yeah?"
A small grin grew across her face, "When you saw Revy and I sparring, were you ever stimulated?"
He cringe having remembered the punches, blood, and getting yelled at while showing no signs of stimulation, "I tried stopping the fight. Kinda felt a little disgusted. I mean anyone would get aroused watching two energetic women knock the shit out of each other."
"I see and how did you feel the second and third time we sparred?"
He sighed again, "You always get me. I enjoyed the both of you fighting at those times. I don't know why. Maybe it's the environment we are apart of or watching you two fight is an aphrodisiac. There were a few times I got aroused imagining the two of fight naked."
She responded with a small smile, "There's something you should know: During our previous two fights, Revy and I have thought of you."
There wasn't a surprise to what she said but to actually hear that filled his mind with various images of Revy and Roberta, "You mean both of you get turned on while trying to kill one another?"
Roberta eyes focused on him as she stated, "I know it's not a normal phenomenon but..."
The both laughed simultaneously , "None of us are normal."
They drew closer and kissed each other good night.
Ten minutes later, the door opened as Revy came walking through as she was buzzed glancing at all the clothes on the floor and the two lovers asleep. She undid her tank top and crawled to them as she kissed their lips for a few seconds whispering, Night dumbasses." She silently removed herself from the bed and headed to a bed in the other room.
Meanwhile...
A group of shadows surrounded a table as they all congratulated the World's Most Wanted man
"Fantastic work, Santiago," a voice spoke.
A second voice stepped in, "Yeah. You really fucked up all of Roanapur."
A third voice spoke as well, "Hopefully Balalaika wasn't too much trouble for you."
Stepping out of the shadows was Santiago with a huge grin with his hands behind his back, "I appreciate all of your acknowledgements and Balalaika was much more than I expected. I've never experienced a Russian woman like her. She was very...exquisite."
A fifth voice spoke, "What about Rock, Two-Hands, and the Bloodhound? We should be concerned."
Santiago laughed, "Hahahahaha. Please tell me you aren't serious of being worried about them. Revy definitely isn't ready against my skills, Roberta's strength is only limited to those fucking FARCS, and my words can hurt more than Rock's. I must say though, I'm very excited confronting Roberta for real this time."
The second voice spoke again, "Just don't hold back on her. We know you like to play with your meals but this isn't the time."
Santiago nodded, " I'm not a novice soldier. My focus has been on her for a while. I shall become triumphant. I am disappointed that none of you want to participate in my fun."
The first voice spoke, "You can stay then. I will deal with the women. I haven't killed anyone in quite some time."
Santiago held the persons' shoulder as he rejected their offer, "Now. Come on. I know that you want to go and kill those fucks but not at this time. You stay here and I'll take care of them and besides, a few of the Goliaths' blood are boiling with such passion and fury. I wouldn't want to disappoint them but your moment will arrive."
The person sighed, "Very well. Go back to Roanapur and check around for any remaining treasures then take care of any loose ends."
He bowed with a grin, "There won't be any failures. It's time to unleash my passion on the remains of a putrid city and if they wish to invite themselves to my party, I will gladly show our guests all the hospitality I show everyone else."
She dismissed everyone from the meeting but as she prevented the Coyote from exiting, "Santiago, I would like you to stay here. There is more we need to discuss."
He nodded, "Very well."
The individual was frustrated of Santiago refusal of them participating in any assignments, "You might be the leader of our syndicate but I didn't join this organization just to observe from the shadows."
He got drew his face to the disclosed figure, "If you're ready to unleash your passion then by all means, join me on my trip."
The person was excited and accepted his offer, "Not at this time. I trust you on this mission. Now...if you would be so kind...fulfill my fantasy."
"Gladly," He replied pressing his lips onto the silhouette.
Late in the Morning...
Golden eyes emerged as a topless, hibernating Revy finally awoke. She looked on the floor and noticed her short shorts, gloves, and tank tops were neatly folded and washed with a lemon scent. Even her green boots were polished. She opened the door and was greeted with a kiss on the lips by Roberta who was dressed in her alternate uniform to where she surprisingly kissed her back. She passed by Rock advancing to the shower with the clean clothes on her shoulders and then came out dressed in her normal attire walking to Rock and kissed him on the lips where he quickly responded kissing her back.
She looked at the maid and nodded, "Thanks, Roberta. Hope my clothes weren't too much."
"You're welcome and they weren't. I washed and dried everyone's the way, your kiss was unexpected but I enjoyed it."
Revy shifted her focus away from Roberta, "Fuck, Roberta. Don't make me puke."
Roberta walked over and kissed Revy on the lips widening the gunslinger's eyes, "That should prevent you from vomiting or any other stomach illnesses."
Rock ended up chuckling as Revy hit him with a pillow as Roberta pecked Rock multiple times.
Revy rested on Rock's shoulder, "So what's up today? Are we going to dinner?"
Rock responded as he brushed his hand against the woman's plum-colored hair, "First we have to go see Benny. There is something I want to know and then we have to go back to Roanapur to see if there's any evidence of the identities of Santiago and his associates."
She removed herself from Rock's shoulders as a few images appeared in her mind about the city she resided, "Back to Roanapur? It's been several months since I was there. Hopefully we discover who these fucks are. If I could guess, probably some ugly murderers and dumbass thieves."
Roberta focused on Revy, "You can have ugly murderers and dumbass thieves. Santiago is mine. He won't be forgiven for his actions. I'll kill that fucker."
For several seconds, Revy was stunned at the last sentence not only because of her words but her tone. Not even fighting with her the first time did she hear her words make her quiver slightly. She crossed her arms with her eyes closed, "Whatever. Just make sure there's enough of that bastard remaining for me."
Roberta smiled, "I cannot make any obligations but I will attempt to leave him breathing for you."
Rock and Roberta exchanged facial expressions as he gave her a nod and exited the suite baffling Revy. It was just her and the maid as there wasn't any verbal exchange until Roberta caressed Revy's branded shoulder.
Still confused about the maid's actions, Revy raised her eyebrows, "What the fuck are you doing? You're more hungry for me than Rock. Besides, we should wait until after our mission in Roanapur."
She removed her hand from the gunslinger's shoulder, "I apologize. I just want to know where we stand."
Revy looked up the ceiling, "How the fuck I'm supposed to know? We fight and we fuck. That's all."
She shook her head knowing of Revy's denial, "I can tell you feel more than that. Now do you enjoy what we do or is it an obligation because of Rock?"
The maid was quite surprised hearing Revy's response, "Are you fucking kidding me? You don't complain, your food's better than those at the hospital, and you're better than those fucking dykes when I spent my times in jail. You got a long way to go but those moments are like opening fucking presents on Christmas."
"Thank you, Revy. One more thing I want to know: Was it in this city that you wanted me?"
She sighed, "It was in Roanapur when you used your shotgun umbrella. You don't know how much I want that shit."
Roberta was slightly disappointed because Revy only liked her for using her shotgun umbrella.
Revy cut her off, "Hey, not like we were close at that time but I guess that first time we fought with guns and then our fists. I thought to myself that I wish that bitch was back so I could fight her five times a day."
She chuckled, "We do that more often and that first day when we fought was exciting, especially the part when I beat you. I guess I was a little curious about you."
Revy gave her an "I see" expression.
Roberta rose off the bed with her back turned to Revy, "I never expected after four years, that I would come across people like yourselves."
Revy saw her walking to the door but turned her around pushing her against the wall crushing the maid's lips as Roberta followed and crushed her lips back while holding her waist.
They released their holds as Revy turned her back to the maid, "Happy now? We're together. Now let's go find Rock before some crazy bitch comes and takes him."
The maid gave her a weird grin, "I'm afraid that's already happened."
Revy turned around and couldn't resist laughing at the top of her lungs then stretched her arms as she controlled her laughter, "That's why I like you, Roberta. I almost died of fucking laughter. How sad would that be? Anyway, come with shit like that and you may have your own talk show."
Inside the Elco-type PT boat, Black Lagoon...
Rock confronted Benny about his talk earlier about finding survivors. He knocked on his door as he opened it ,"Well hello there. I take it you're not here to look at codes on my computer."
Rock shook his head, "No but there I just need to something: Who did you save? Did you manage to save anyone we know?"
He cupped his chin, "With everything going on, we forget to mention that part. Well aside from Chang and Balalaika, we managed to save a few mothers and children, Rowan, and Bao from the Yellow Flag."
Rock asked him, "Anyone from RipOff Church?"
Benny sighed adjusting his glasses, "Not a sign of anyone. By the time I ended there, that place was nothing more."
Rock was frustrated but then thought of someone he could speak to despite her absence, "Damn. I wish Eda was here then she could tell us more about Santiago."
Revy was curious about Eda being discrete about her revelations, "You think she was hiding anything from us?"
Rock had possibilities but wasn't positive, "I'm not sure but for some reason, she may seem to know more about this Santiago guy."
Revy was disappointed that she was unable to pin point Eda's whereabouts, "Only fucking problem is we can't find the nun."
Rock then thought of an idea, "Say, Benny. Do you think you can hack and find anything about Santiago?"
He nodded at Rock smiling, "Shouldn't be that much trouble but it may take some time."
They all waited as ten minutes passed and saw Benny come out of his quarters as he alerted them to come inside.
Benny old them"I know it's a tight fit but remember..."
Revy finished for him feeling annoyed, "Yeah, we know the routine: No touching any of your shit."
Rock "So where's the information on Santiago?"
Benny sighed , "Well I tried every possibility but this is all that's there."
They stared and was able to spot a picture and a few sentences leaving them disappointed.
After some time, Roberta spoke, "Are you sure this is all the information you could acquire?"
"Yeah. Either Santiago has installed a code that takes a year to decipher or..."
"He erased all traces of himself. Eda told us that she worked in the CIA with Santiago but never went into detail of the events that occurred in that time."
Revy grew a little surprised, "So this bastard's a hacker as well?"
Benny nodded.
Rock then he noticed Roberta gazing at the computer screen as something caught her attention, "Something wrong, Roberta?"
She responded, "I was noticing his age and it reads twenty-six on here, however, it's impossible that such a man is an expert in numerous fields."
Revy punched one of her fists on her hand ready to challenge the maniac, "Even if he's sixty, I'm still going to fuck his ass."
Rock thanked Benny for his research then focused as the main task, "Now we need to get ready to return to Roanapur. Although a grave sight, there might be evidence around that will show the identities of the opposition. Dutch, have this ship ready to sail in two hours."
Dutch rejected Rock's plan, "It wouldn't be smart to go there. Knowing those guys, they'll return there to eradicate any of the remaining evidence and since it's a month, nobody will come looking for them."
Roberta then, "Although you are correct, we must return to that city. Get us close enough and we'll swim the rest of the way."
Knowing the situation, Dutch couldn't object to her statement,"By the looks of things, I can't refuse so it looks like Roberta is in and you Two Hands?"
She displayed that killer grin pulling out her guns, "Time to fuck those bastards up. That fake Santiago managed to overwhelm me. This time, things will be babies been waiting to meet for those bastards."
End
Author's Note: Get ready for the next chapters because there will be plenty of action chapters. In addition, I thought it was best to translate other languages in the story. Here they are and see you all next time.
Translations:
Russian: "Vy vidite, pochemu vy dolzhny yego ubit'. Vashi slova k nemu okazhutsya neeffektivnymi. On ub'yet Revy i Roberta. Vy - nasha poslednyaya nadezhda iz-za vashego opyta nablyudeniya i strategii. Ne pozvolyayte nikomu drugomu stradat'. Yesli ne dlya menya, sdelayte eto dlya tekh, kto imeyet znacheniye. Ubeyte yego i vse, chto svyazano."
you see why you have to kill him. Your words to him will be ineffective. He will kill Revo and Roberta. You are our last hope because of your experience of observation and strategy. Do not let anyone else suffer. If not for me, do it for those who matter. Kill him and everything related
Spanish: Prepárate para una noche difícil

Spanish: Senorita Roberta. Muéstrame lo que realmente puedes hacer.
