Rasta Blasta, Maid to Kill and The Unstoppable Chambermaid
Lagoon company had just returned back to their apartment in Roanapur from another job. After delivering the goods they've taken from another vessel to miss Balalaika, the crew of the Black Lagoon have been rewarded with 20.000 dollars, plus a bonus as Revy and Laura discovered that that cargo ship they boarded were smuggling cocaine, being given a 10.000 extra (and that Hotel Moscow had to break a few legs as those people had the guts to smuggle drugs without their permission)
Dutch sat on the couch as he took a beer. "Man, that was one hell of a job."
Benny nodded as he too took a beer. "You bet. And who would've known that those Brazilians had some of that white powder hidden below decks?"
Dutch formed a grin. "That's the thing. Every new ship is always a new surprise. Hell, without Laura, none of us would've known. Gotta admit, since Soldier Girl joined us, she and Revy have turned into an unbeatable team." That was when Dutch noticed that he hadn't even seen Revy or Laura around as he was more with his mind on how he could've missed the drugs on that cargo ship. "Hey. Speaking of Laura and Revy, where are they?"
Benny gave a shrug as he answered. "I... think they went on their own somewhere. Probably to have some private time again."
"I wouldn't be surprised." Dutch said as he could already guess where Two Hands and Soldier Girl could've gone to.
Meanwhile, somewhere in downtown Roanapur
In a large hotel room in downtown Roanapur, over the floor and on the bed sheets, four guns and pieces of clothes were spread all around. In the bathroom, sounds were heard of not only the shower, but also the loud moaning of one of the ladies.
As warm water flowed down on them, Revy, standing naked in the corner of the shower was giving off lots of moaning and screaming as her lover, Laura was pleasuring her wet pussy with her tongue. "AH! YES! YES! YES! OH FUCK, YEAH! EAT MY PUSSY BABY! YES!"
Laura responded in kind as she increased the pleasure by licking her g-spot and fingered Revy deep in her pussy, while holding the video camera (that was now covered in a waterproof video camera box) in her other hand, videotaping very closely as how she pleasured her dear Revy.
As Laura increased the speed of fingering Revy, she could feel her climax coming. "Nnngah! Oh baby, I'm gonna... I'm gonna...! I'm... FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" Revy screamed as she squirted her juices out all over Laura's face and even over the camera lens, capturing the moment.
Revy panted because of this amazing pleasure and held herself to the side as her legs felt wobbling after being fingered so amazingly while Laura held the camera close to her own face as she licked some of Revy's juices from her face. "Oooooh, fuck. You taste so amazing."
Revy smiled down at Laura. Slowly she sat on her knees, facing her lover and embraced in a passionate kiss.
Laura stopped the recording as she said while putting the camera away for a moment. "Having a waterproof box over the camera was indeed a good idea for tonight, Revy."
"You bet it fucking was."
After giving each other more kisses while the water kept flowing over them, Laura thought of what kind of other porn vid they could make next. "You know what would make it even more special now that we won't have to worry that the camera would be broken because of the water?"
"What did you have in mind, baby?" Revy wondered as she kissed Laura's neck.
"Well... I was thinking that maybe... we could... do it underwater."
Revy stopped kissing till the top of Laura's breasts and looked at her girlfriend with a bit of confused look. "Huh?"
Laura gave a shrug. "Well... we can technically even record underwater with this waterproof box. What I was thinking... us, wearing our scuba diving equipment... swimming down to the beautiful seafloor... making love between the fish."
That did sound very tempting as she could easily picture herself and Laura making love in the beautiful ocean. However, there was only one problem. "That does sound like a fucking great plan, Laura. But... the only problem here is that the seas around Roanapur are not very much ideal for an underwater fuck with all kinds of other rival pirates around and having to do jobs around here."
Seeing that Revy had a point, made Laura shrug. "I guess you're right."
"But," Revy said as she massaged Laura's breasts. "A far different place in the pacific would be ideal for that." As she slowly twisted her nipples, Revy suggested what places would be ideal for underwater sex. "Southern Thailand. Or... the Philippine waters. Some... uncharted island in the middle of the ocean."
Laura moaned as Revy kept pleasuring her. And then softly said. "Hawaii... That's... the perfect place..."
Revy formed a small smile. "Yes... that's the perfect place."
Laura then looked at Revy with eyes filled with love and asked. "You promise?"
Revy slowly moved towards Laura's ear, whispering. "I promise... one day we'll go there... and I'll give you the best underwater sex you could only dream of."
Laura then held her hands on Revy's face, saying softly. "And I will do the same for you."
Both then smiled as they shared another lustful tongue kiss. After several minutes, Revy took the camera and said. "Now it's my turn to return the favor of sucking your pussy in the hot shower." As she aimed the camera close to Laura's breast, ready to suck her nipples, she said. "And... action." And started recording their porn vid again.
The next morning
Revy and Laura returned to the apartment of Lagoon company while walking hand in hand and shared some kisses before entering the apartment.
As soon as Revy opened the door, Benny was holding the phone in his hand, being surprised and happy to see Revy and Laura back. "Ah, there you guys are. I was just about to call you." And placed the phone back.
"What's up, Benny?" Laura asked.
"We've got a new job, that's what's going on. We were called to do a delivery for the Manisarera cartel." Benny answers as to why he'd wanted to call Revy and Laura.
"A job already?" Revy asked in a moaning voice.
"No whining." Dutch said as he entered the living room. "As long as the money keeps coming, I don't complain and neither should you."
Seeing that they all couldn't just lay and rest for days for a new job, Laura gave a shrug and asked Dutch. "When do we leave?'
Several hours later
On board a South-American ship, the crew were busy loading in the goods delivered by the Black Lagoon crew. As the crane lifted up the last cargo and brought it on board. Laura, who was on board the vessel too, kept an eye out if everything was in order.
One of the crewmembers broke open the crate, revealing it had lots of rifles and ammunition, took one rifle out and tossed it over to another crewmember to examine the goods. Seeing it was exactly what they wanted, he gave a thumbs up to Laura.
Laura gave a nod and gave a form to the ship's captain. "Right. If you can just sign here, please?" As the guy took the form he put his signature on it.
Inside the Black Lagoon, Dutch contacted Laura if everything was okay. "Everything under control, Laura?"
"Yep, all good, even got them to sign." Laura answered through the communicator.
Dutch then reminded Laura. "We're also transporting some extra cargo for them. Did you get it?"
"Yeah... I did receive the cargo, but uhm..." Laura gave a doubtful sound.
"Is there a problem?" Dutch wandered, but then crossed his legs and instructed her "If not, ask them to use the crane again to get you down here with the goods down here."
"Roger that." Laura answered before breaking contact.
Revy walked into the control room and asked Dutch as she ate a bagel. "So, my girlfriend is doing okay out there, huh?" But then she shrugged. "On second thought, she can easily handle herself. Her skills as a sort of business woman makes her perfect for this job."
Remembering that reminder of how well Laura did with Sister Yolanda of the Ripp-off Church to get the RPG anyway had impressed Dutch, he gave a nod. "So far, anyway."
That made Revy to wonder. "Wait, you don't think that my Laura is worried about that 'little cargo' we're taking with us?"
Dutch gave a shrug. "Looks that way."
While Revy took a bite from her bagel she bought while saying. "Ah well, she'll get over it, I'm sure. After all, It's just a cartel's little errand we're running. No big deal."
At that moment, the door to the control room opened, revealing it was Laura. Revy smiled when she saw her, but wondered why she was so confused.
"I counted those crates we delivered like you wanted me to, Dutch, but uhm..." Laura stated. "...about that little shipment we're taking back with us... are you sure he is it?" She asked as she glanced down to her right, as the shipment they were bringing with them was a 12 year old boy, clearly being a hostage that was supposed to be handed over to someone else.
The boy frowned as he was brought in by Laura before Dutch explained what they'll do to the boy. "Once we arrive at Hat Yai, we hand him over to some buyer designated by the Colombian Mafia." He then instructed Revy. "Revy, put him in a cabin for now."
She annoyingly sighed as she did what Dutch asked her. "Fine." As she walked over to the boy and wanted to take him by the shoulder. "Alright, let's go kid."
But the kid angrily let himself go.
Revy was this close to just grabbing the boy, but Laura held her arm and said with a serious tone. "Revy. Let me do it."
Being a bit surprised by this move, Revy allowed Laura to take the kid into a cabin.
"C'mon now, kid." Laura said as she was about to take the kid by the arm, but he too held back in anger. However, Laura stayed calm and grabbed him by the shirt and kept very serious. "Right this way. No need to strangle back, It'll only make things worse."
As she took him, Revy was even more surprised how her girlfriend did that without even taking a beat on the kid. 'How does she do that?' Revy mentally thought as she remained cool under the circumstances how that kid behaved towards them. She took a few beers in her hands and told Dutch. "I'll keep an eye on the kid too, if you don't mind." And walked into the cabin where Laura took her.
Dutch didn't seem to mind and thought while sighing. 'Hopefully Revy will keep a head cool as babysitting is not her profession.'
As the Black Lagoon sailed off, heading back to Roanapur, the kid sat in a corner holding his legs. Laura gave him some pizza, but clearly wasn't taking a bite as he looked angry towards Laura and Revy.
Laura leaned against the wall while Revy gave her a beer can. Laura took the beer from her girlfriend. "Thanks." And took a sip.
While Revy sat on a chair, she told her lover. "Look, Laura, I know you don't like to be a delivery girl anymore, but this is part of our job. All we do is take shipments to their designated destinations. That's where our responsibilities end."
Laura gave a nod, but still didn't feel right about this. "Yeah, I get it."
Both women were just quiet as they enjoyed their beer for the next several minutes. The kid was still sitting on the floor while glancing angrily at Revy and Laura.
Seeing that the kid was watching them, Revy asked him as she lit a cigarette. "You got a name kid?"
The child didn't answer.
"You got a name, don't you?" Revy asked again.
But the kid still didn't answer and just looked away.
Revy shrugged as she asked Laura with a smirk. "Maybe he lost his tongue? Probably better. At least we won't be hearing things like 'when can I go home?' or 'I wanna see my mommy', right?"
But then, the kid threw a pizza slice right into Revy's face.
Revy was this close to pulling her gun and teaching the kid a lesson. "Why you LITTLE-!"
Laura grabbed her arm, preventing Revy from pulling her gun at the kid. With a serious face, Laura shook her head. "Revy. Don't. We can't deliver him with holes in it."
Normally, Revy would never take this from a kid who throws stuff at her. But when seeing Laura's face, she... somehow calmed down and let go of her gun as she sighed.
Laura tried a different approach and walked over to the boy. "Listen, I know you don't like it, but-" Then she got a pizza slice being thrown at her.
Revy just watched, waiting for what Laura was about to do, like she was expecting that she would be infuriated. But... Laura remained calm and removed the pizza slice off her face.
"Look, it's just for a bit longer, then you're rid of us." Before she then took a tissue from her pocket and cleaned her face. "Maybe it's too much to ask, but can you at least stop throwing food at me and my girlfriend?"
The boy kept looking angry at Laura. "You can't fool me. Santa Maria sees you right through your friendly talk, you liar."
Laura just shrugged. "Well, despite that my words won't be meaning anything to you since I'm helping in this kidnapping, there's no need to be all angry about it."
Seeing that Laura wasn't all intimidating and more... child friendly, the boy could feel he could trust her. "You're not... anything like that mean tattoo lady or that big black guy, are ya? You seem more like a normal person."
Laura sat next to the boy, saying. "I guess. Though I'm more like them than you think, I'm cool with kids."
She glanced for a moment at Revy, who shook her head and said. "Laura. Don't get too attached to the kid. It's not good for business."
The boy angrily glanced at Revy.
Laura however got an idea and told the boy as she pointed her thumb to Revy. "And 'that mean tattoo lady', though she might have anger issues, once you get to know her, she's actually really sweet."
Revy was this close to proving Laura otherwise. But somehow... she remained quiet and looked the other way as she inhaled her cigarette. But in her mind, Revy felt confused and angry at the same time. 'What is wrong with me? I never take shit from anyone and I'm especially not a kid person. Am I... changing?'
The kid did form a little smile, believing that what Laura said about Revy can also be a nice person, but still didn't feel right about her. Seeing that he could trust Laura somehow, he stated. "The men that put me on the boat didn't tell me where I'm going or what's gonna happen to me. They're planning to sell me off somewhere, right?"
Laura did feel sorry for the boy, as there was no denying that the kid will certainly be sold off to the highest bidder or something. So she asked him. "Are you worried?"
The boy gave a shrug as he took a pizza slice and took a bit from it. "I'll be fine. My father won't let anything happen to me."
This surprised both Laura and Revy, as what they were told was that the kid was an orphan, so Revy asked him. "Father? Wait, I thought you were supposed to be an orphan."
Looking angry at Revy, the kid answered. "Who told you that? Probably the cartel? They're a bunch of big liars." He then stated with some pride. "My father is the head of one of the great 13 families of South America. The eleventh head of the Lovelace household. He's Diego Jose San Fernando Lovelace. And I'm Garcia, his only son. When I'm old enough, I'll become the next head of the Lovelace family." The kid stated, introducing himself as Garcia Lovelace, only son of the head of the Lovelace family.
Revy nearly had to laugh. "Hahahahaha! Yeah, right. And I'm the motherfucking Queen of England. Nice try kid, but you're gonna have to come up with a better lie if you want us to have pity on you."
Laura agreed with Revy on this one. "Revy is right. If you're gonna tell lies, at least come up with a better one than that."
Garcia then said. "I don't want pity. Don't be stupid. What good would it do to lie to you guys now?"
Laura took out a cigarette of her own as she asked him. "You know, you're a pretty unlikable kid. So where did you hear the name Lovelace, anyway?'' She then lightened her cigarette and inhaled the smoke before saying. "For your information kid, the Lovelace family is the least noble house of the 13 families. Although, that does make it a little more believable."
Garcia frowned while taking another bite from his pizza slice. "So what if things haven't been going too well for us lately? We still manage to get by just like we always do." Before he talked in a more gentle tone. "My father is a man of good character. He never got involved in anything illegal. Business wasn't going well, but the plantations were stable... until the Mafia came, that is."
"So you're trying to tell me that you were kidnapped by that Mafia?" Laura asked before taking a drag from her cigarette and blowing out the smoke. "I gotta say you're a natural storyteller, kid, I'll give you that."
"They tried to force my father to sell our land for something that was found there. When my father refused to sell it, we saw what they were really like. They came to our farms and harassed us. But my father refused to be intimidated by them, and that's how I ended up here."
"Rare Earth. That's what they found, wasn't it?" Laura asked.
"Yeah. It's used as a fixing agent for ceramics."
Laura stubbed out her cigarette on her beer can and said. "Got another question for you: it's well known that the Lovelace house has a dog. What do you know about that dog."
"That's an easy 1: that dog became a member of our family 6 years ago. His name is Laslow." Garcia answered.
A bit later at sunset
After Laura and Revy had told Dutch everything that Garcia had told them, Dutch had a bad feeling about this. "Not cool. I don't like how this feels. We need more information."
Laura then told what they better should do. "After we dock, I think we should wait before handing him over to the mafia. It's obvious that the cartel lied to us."
Revy joined in as she checked her gun. "You know, for this once, I'm in with Laura. If the cartel did lie to us that that kid is truly Lovelace's only son, it could mean there's gonna be trouble."
Dutch was a bit surprised how Revy took all of this, as she was more in it for the money and never felt pity on whatever they were transporting. So he said to her as a reminder. "Have you forgotten, Revy? We never should have pity on our cargo. Especially you. I thought you were only in for the money?"
While playing with her gun, Revy sighed. "I'll be lying if I said I wasn't in for the money. But I'm just as concerned as my girlfriend that our client lied to us."
Even Laura was a bit surprised as she saw that Revy had somehow changed. But she formed a small smile, feeling proud of her too. She then turned her attention to Dutch and stated. "I used to work around the resource procurement department, and since I keep an eye out for almost anything, I've learned much about rare earth and rare metals. And everything he says about the Lovelace family checks out, cause I've seen some reports from my former company's South American division. Details about the family's structure."
As Revy put back her gun, she asked Dutch. "Well? What do you say, Dutch? You have the final say in all of this."
Dutch crossed his arms as he tried to think of all this. "I just don't get it. The minute they got that kid, they could've demanded a ransom right there and they got what they wanted. Why would the reason for the cartel to keep it a secret and sell him off?"
Laura shook her head. "I don't know why they wanted to keep it a secret. But it's more likely they want to sell him off as they're probably pissed off. If there's one thing I've learned since I joined you guys and came to Roanapur is what all mafia and cartels have in common; is that they hate having shit rubbed in their faces and are not gonna let something like that go unpunished."
Revy nodded. "Laura's got a point there, Dutch."
Dutch then made the boat to a stop, thinking of what to do. "Hmmm. If their prior is at stake, this is gonna be a real hassle, and we definitely don't wanna be a part of that." He then had a plan. "I think I'm gonna put a little insurance on our shipment before we deliver it. I'll ask Balalaika to do some background checks."
At Balalaika's office
The blonde Russian woman was talking to Dutch over the phone while preparing a cigar. "My, my, it's quite rare for you to be asking for a favor, Dutch."
"I need a little background check on the Colombian Cartel and the Lovelace family. Can you dig that up for us?"
"Oh? We actually picked up a job involving that Cartel. Your timing is impeccable, Dutch."
"Thanks. I owe you 1. But since we're in the middle of setting up our insurance, don't stir things up too much." Dutch advised.
"Well that's impossible." Balalaika said while lighting up her cigar and blowing out the smoke. "You know the way this business works: when things get stirred up, they get stirred up like a typhoon."
"All right. Just do your best and keep it cool."
"Very well. Should I come to your office?" Balalaika asked while taking a drag from her cigar and blowing out the smoke.
"Nah, we'll be having a drink at the Yellow Flag, you can find us there."
Back with the Lagoon crew
After Dutch broke contact with Balalaika, he turned to Laura and Revy. "All right, you 2, there's 1 more thing we need to check out before this thing goes any further: Daddy Lovelace. Is he the type to send troops to rescue his son or was he just bluffing us?"
"I don't think so. Given their financial resources at this point, they can only afford to have only 1 servant. An ordinary housemaid to be specific." Laura answered.
Revy yarned and said with a grin. "So do you think the maid's gonna try to rescue the little prince or what? That would be fun."
Meanwhile, the maid had arrived in Roanapur and was already searching for who she called her fellow countryman, questioning some people around the island until they directed her to the Yellow Flag.
The Lagoon crew got back to shore and we're getting off the boat with Garcia as Revy told him. "Well, here we are, on dry land." Before she hit Garcia at the back of his head. "Would ya get movin' already?"
Laura didn't like this and looked at Dutch and Benny. "You 2 take the kid and head on, me and Revy are going to have a talk." Before she took Revy's hand and took her back to the boat.
When they were alone, Revy asked her girlfriend. "What's up, Soldier girl? Why do you care about the kid? He's just another job like the rest. I told you not to get attached to him because it's bad for our line of business."
"I know that this is another job, Revy, but I don't think hurting the kid is the answer to getting it done. He's just a kid and while he might be a little brat, hitting him is not the way to gain his trust."
"Oh come on, Laura, he's a rude, spoiled little shit. He threw pizza at me... while I was trying to smoke. And he threw 1 at you too. Doesn't that piss you off?" Revy asked, beginning to get a bit angry that her girlfriend would defend a little brat.
"It does piss me off, Revy, but I also remember that that's what some kids do when they're kidnapped. And that's no excuse to hurt him...if he's telling the truth. Why are you getting so angry about this?"
"I'm not angry, Soldier girl! Why would you think that I'm angry!?"
"Because, Revy, I've noticed that you've been agreeing with me on certain things, just like earlier. I know I do know as much about you as you do me, but I know enough to know that if I wasn't around, you'd probably wouldn't have hesitated to shoot the kid if he annoyed you. And I've noticed that you are becoming a bit angry ever since I told Dutch I'd watch the kid! So answer me, Revy: who are you really angry with?!"
"I'm... angry...at... MYSELF!" Revy yelled out as tears fell from her eyes, letting out what she'd been hiding since she'd comforted Laura in the submarine. "I...I didn't realize it until today, but...ever since you came along, Laura, I've... not been myself mostly! I've... started to...change... because of you and the love and kindness you've been showing me ever since we met."
Laura seemed to know what her girlfriend was talking about. When she'd 1st met Revy, she didn't seem to care much about anything other than money, which is why she'd told Laura to come with them, for ransom payment and a small bit of sympathy for her previous life. But during hers and Revy time together, she didn't notice until now that they'd both had an influence on each other that brought them into a romantic relationship, something that neither her nor Revy would ever dream of, especially considering her past. But if being brought together and being under each other's influence could somewhat change them for the better while also finding love and satisfying their pirate life, then perhaps they could eventually find what they'd been missing in their lives, even if they couldn't repair the damage that was done to her.
So, with a smile, Laura hugged Revy, who after a few seconds, returned the hug. "Revy, baby, I know that you don't like what's happening to you right now, but it's actually a good thing. I've brought out the side of you that's been buried for so many years and I've given you what you've been missing all your life. You're my other half given flesh and blood and there's no way in hell I'm letting you go. And it's not just you that's changed, you've changed me too and brought out the side of me I've kept hidden ever since I was dishonorably discharged from the military, and I thank you for that. But I want you to promise me that from now on, in these kinds of situations, that you'll keep a cool head. Promise?"
Revy smiled as tears formed in her eyes before she kissed Laura passionately. "I promise from now on I'll keep a cool head, baby, on the condition that you not tell anyone about these conversations between us."
Laura stroked her girlfriend's hair with a smile. "Promise, baby. These conversations are only between us and nobody is gonna butt in on us while that happens." Before they shared a hug and kiss and headed back to the others.
A bit later
As the car moved through the streets of Roanapur, they came across the many bars and stripclubs of the city while the streets were filled with either sexy hookers who were waiting for new costumers, their pimps or street thugs that were either drunk on the streets to spend their money on having sex with prostitutes or drink their sorrows away. There were even a few dealers on the streets to sell their goods to junkies.
Garcia looked at the people for a moment. The sight of it all made him uncomfortable and sad while he looked down. "It's so different. This place is crazy compared to my hometown."
Laura looked at the poor kid for a moment, knowing that this is not something for children to see. "I'm sorry. A kid your age shouldn't be exposed to a city like Roanapur at night."
Garcia then shrugged. "I'll be fine."
Seeing that Garcia had still some hope in him left surprised Laura somehow as she asked. "You have a lot of faith, kid. You really believe in your family, don't you?"
Garcia nodded. "Of course. I believe in Roberta. I know that she's gonna come here and take me home to my father."
Laura formed a small smile as she looked through her window. "You know, I don't know if this maid of yours is gonna come for you or not, but I must admit that you've got one solid family to have such great faith in them." But as the car stopped while a truck tried to turn, Laura's smile slowly went away as she stated. "I never had that much faith in my own family, and frankly... I don't even care if they think about me or not."
Garcia looked at Laura, wondering. "You mean... they didn't love you at all?"
Revy looked at her girlfriend too, mentally thinking. 'Laura... you're not seriously gonna tell the kid your messed up backstory, are you?' Revy begged herself that her girlfriend wouldn't do that, as she remembered how hard it was for her to even tell her back in the German U-boat.
As Laura was about to answer, Laura tried to avoid it. "Never mind... I don't want to talk about it anyway, kid."
Garcia was actually curious as to why this nice lady didn't have a family that loved her. But as he was about to ask, Revy warned the boy. "Kid. Just leave her alone. She said she doesn't want to talk about it, so just drop it."
While Garcia frowned at Revy, he then looked down, not saying anything.
Laura felt some relief that Revy wasn't going to hit the kid's head before warning him. She then shrugged as she told Revy. "Well, it is good to hold on to something in your heart that you believe in. Even if it's a maid that is stronger than she looks."
Revy shrugged while looking away.
Laura then asked her with a grin. "If I was ever kidnapped, would you try to save me? Would you come charging in with those Cutlass guns of yours to save me?"
Slowly, Revy looked at her girlfriend, seeing that she was really meaning it. After a heavy sigh, Revy answered by heart. "Baby... I would follow you all the way to the edge of the earth just to save you. If that ever happens... those assholes and bitches that would dare to kidnap you in the first place, they would have to throw a fucking A-bomb to stop me."
Seeing how serious Revy was just to save Laura and really meant it, meant a lot for Laura, knowing how much Revy really loved her. She then softly stated. "And if you were kidnapped, Revy... I would give my life in order to save you."
Revy sighed, knowing that Laura meant every word. 'Oh Laura, if we weren't here with the kid and Dutch and Benny weren't here as well, I would fuck you right now in this car.' She mentally stated with love.
Garcia looked confused at both Revy and Laura, not knowing why they would say those words to each other.
That Garcia reacted like this, made Revy giggle. "Aw, never seen a girl being with a girl before?" She asked the boy, who shook his head. Revy shrugged again. "Well, get used to it, kid, because when you grow up, I'm sure you're gonna see and hear more about it."
Later, just outside the Yellow Flag.
As Laura and Revy were the first to get out of the car, Revy asked her girlfriend. "Hey baby. This maid that the kid's been talking about... sure hope she's not some bullshit fantasy he made up. I would love to meet her."
Laura then formed a grin as she asked. "And by 'love to meet her', you probably mean to see what she's capable of, right Revy?"
"Damn right, baby." Revy said as she took out one of her guns. "Cause my Cutlass feels too cold."
Laura's grin became a smirk as she too took out one of her guns. "Mine too, Revy. Who knows? Maybe Garcia's maid could fix that?"
Revy chuckled as she put her gun back in her holder. "Maybe. But I still don't believe it 100%."
Luckily for them, Garcia hadn't heard what they were saying as Dutch took the boy out of the car and all walked over to the Yellow Flag.
Laura then suggested as they made it to the door. "Hey Revy? In for a rum contest while we're waiting?"
"You read my mind, babe." Revy answered with a grin as she was about to open the door.
When Revy opened the door, they heard laughter and a woman saying. "I'm very sorry, but I will not be able to hold back. Please excuse me and please enjoy yourselves." She said as she pointed her umbrella at 1 of the Cartel members... before a shotgun blast hit the man, killing him and sending him crashing into a table, much to the surprise of everyone!
"Shit. Didn't this place just reopen?" Dutch asked.
"Dutch, you're getting me and Laura 1 of those for Christmas." Revy said with wide eyes.
But it was Garcia who was the most shocked. "Roberta."
This got Abrego angry as he and his goons pulled out their guns and aimed at the maid. "You fucking bitch! All right, boys, we'll finish this now! I want her dead!"
But the maid, Roberta, was unphased. "You think it will help? Then please do what you must."
"Fuck you!" Abrego cursed before he and his goons began shooting at the maid, who dodged all the bullets with the skill of a soldier before opening her umbrella and putting her suitcase behind it as the bullets hit it until they stopped firing. But as they thought they'd killed her, Roberta stood up and began killing the goons with her shotgun umbrella without even getting hit herself, damaging the bar in the process, much to the bartender's anger.
Meanwhile, the Lagoon crew were ducking under a table to avoid the gunfire. "Somehow we managed to walk right in the middle of a brutal shootout. But maybe we can take advantage of the fact that they're busy trying to kill each other." Dutch told his employees. "So, does anyone else feel like leaving?"
"Of course, but where?" Benny asked.
"We can go fishing at the beach until this cools down." Dutch answered. "I don't feel like catching bullets in the back while I drink?"
"Hey, will you hurry up and tell me if Laura and I are gonna shoot or not?" Revy asked with eagerness to start shooting as she held 1 of her guns.
"I'm eager to shoot someone too. So do we get to shoot or not?" Laura asked with equal eagerness, though she was worried about Garcia.
"I vote not to shoot." Benny answered.
"We'll leave the kid here. I'm not going for a walk carrying a claymore." Dutch said.
"Oh come on, why do you wanna leave the kid here in a bar in the middle of a shootout?" Laura asked.
"Yeah. He's worth something, Dutch." Revy added after her girlfriend.
But then Dutch saw that a few goons were shooting at the door. "Great. We were standing here talking, and now the front door's become a warzone." He complained before covering Garcia's mouth. "Anyway, this kid's not worth it anymore. He can't come with us, you guys got it?"
"Fine, Dutch, but you owe us a lot of drinks for this!" Laura said as her employer and Benny crawled out from the table while she looked at Garcia. "Kid, stay quiet till the shootout is over and go back to Venezuela with your maid. Hopefully in a few hours, you'll be back home and you can forget your last few days ever happened."
"It's... just... I didn't think... that Roberta…" The boy tried to say but couldn't find the right words. "She's not the kind of person who kills people."
"I'm not sure that's true, kid. What she's doing is something that only an expertly trained soldier could do." Laura said with recognition at Roberta's skills, as she had the exact same skills in the military.
"Laura, what's keeping you?!" Dutch called out.
As the bartender was complaining about the price it would take for him to fix the place, he saw Revy crawling to the back door. "REVY, IS THIS YOUR FAULT?! HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOUR FRIENDS GONNA MESS UP MY BAR?!"
THESE AREN'T MY FRIENDS! DON'T TRY AND PIN THIS SHIT ON ME, YOU DUMBASS!" Revy yelled back, making everything go quiet. "Fuck. It's like they were just waiting for me to open my mouth."
Abrego called into the bar. "Lagoon Company! What the fuck are you guys doing here?! What happened to that package you were supposed to deliver to us?"
Seeing that they were exposed, Lagoon company stopped. While Benny held his hands up, Dutch tried to ease the situation. "Okay, hold on! Don't jump to conclusions, Abrego!"
As Garcia stood up, Abrego was shocked and surprised to see the kid in the bar "Huh!? Why the fuck is the package here?! You better not ignore our contract?!"
"I said don't jump to conclusions!" Dutch said again. "We'll talk about payment later! This ain't the time!"
As tears formed in his eyes, Garcia looked in shock and sadness to the one that she trusted the most, but was in fact a coldblooded killing machine.
Roberta was just as shocked to see Garcia in the bar. "Young master..."
"Roberta..." Was all that Garcia could say.
"I certainly didn't expect to see you here, master Garcia. Your father has been extremely worried about you." As she took a few steps towards Garcia, saying kindly. "Please. Come."
But Garcia took a few steps back out of fear.
Roberta stopped, knowing that it was a shock for him to see her like this. "It's only natural that you feel afraid right now. But if you let me... I will explain myself. I promise... you will understand." But then she looks at Laura "Who are these people?"
Dutch gulped as he felt where this was going now. "Not good. Their eyes met."
As Roberta was about to aim her shotgun-umbrella at her, Garcia stood before Laura, protecting her. "No, Roberta! Don't!"
Roberta froze as she couldn't aim her gun at Garcia while standing in front of Laura.
Laura used this advantage and told Roberta while keeping her hand close to her gun. "You better lower your shotgun, housemaid. I don't think any of us wants to die, especially not having Garcia's corpse on our heads. Wouldn't you agree?"
Slowly, Revy moved closer to Laura while having her hands close to her guns. "Laura, what are you doing?"
"Quiet, baby. I know what I'm doing." Laura whispered to Revy before turning her attention back to the maid. "Listen Roberta. As long as you're not stupid enough to be the one to start shooting, you'll get Garcia home in one piece. Comprende?"
Roberta remained quiet till she said. "I need a moment to think."
Suddenly, one Colombian came out and attacked Roberta. "We're not done with you yet, you crazy bitch-" But was shot by Roberta before he could either shoot or finish his sentence.
While Roberta kept thinking what to do, Garcia shook his head. "Roberta... please. Don't."
After 10 minutes of thinking, Roberta finally broke the silence by saying. "I am finished thinking now." Before she began speaking in Spanish that Laura could perfectly understand.
"That's Spanish. 'A blessing for the living, a branch of flowers for the dead. With a sword of justice, the punishment of death for the villains.'
Garcia smiled as he said. "Like this we arrive at the altar of the saints. The Lovelace family creed."
"I cannot agree to your request but I do attend to have the young master back in 1 piece." Roberta said before aiming at Laura and Revy with her suitcase that had a machine gun and missile launcher inside it. "However I must work in accordance with this creed. In the name of Santa Maria, the Hammer of righteousness to all injustice!"
Seeing that Roberta was gonna shoot, made Laura react quickly. "Fuck. Kid, get down!" Laura pushed Garcia out of the way as Roberta started shooting at her and Revy.
When Revy ran to the bar and began returning fire, Abrego tried to shoot Roberta, drawing her fire in the process and allowing the rest of the Lagoon crew to move further. But as Revy jumped above the bar, Roberta fired a missile at Revy that hit her!
Laura's heart froze at seeing her girlfriend and lover get shot by the missile, thinking she'd lost the 1 person to ever care and love her in years, until she exploded with fury and started shooting like crazy at Roberta while yelling."YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
Roberta was about to launch another missile, but Laura avoided that one and looked for cover while checking on Revy. "How is Revy?!"
"Well, her injuries are fortunately minor but she's got a concussion and she's not moving!" Benny answered.
Roberta took cover as Abrego shot at her again. "Will you just fucking die already?! I know you, Bloodhound of Florencia." He said, getting a reaction from the maid before she stood up and fired back.
"Man, that is 1 crazy bitch." Dutch said as he watched Roberta.
While Laura took Revy into her arms, she vowed to herself. 'That maid bitch is going to pay for what she did to the only person I've ever loved. I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL HER!'
Garcia, unable to deal with what he was seeing his most trusted maid doing, grabbed Benny's arm and begged him to take him with them, which Benny did.
Roberta heard that and slowly dropped her case to the floor, making it open on impact and spilling her weapons in the process as she couldn't believe that her young master was being taken willingly.
But Abrego took advantage of it and pointed his gun at the maid as he got close to her. "Stay right there now. It all makes sense to me, those words you were saying earlier. That's right, you're the Bloodhound of Florencia. I can't fucking believe that you're still alive. Not even Jesus Christ could have guessed that. These 4 years since you left the Colombian Revolutionary Army, everybody, to cartels to fucking Interpol has been after you, woman. The Cartel's put a 400,000 dollar bounty on your head, dead or alive. Hahahaha." He said with a laugh as his goons walked up to him with grins on their faces. "Looks like luck is finally on my side. If I deliver your head on a silver platter, I'll be made a lieutenant in the Cartel! Hahahaha!"
But Roberta was phased by any of this and turned around while saying. "I no longer have a reason to keep you alive." Getting a confused look from Abrego and his goons. "If you will excuse me, I'd best be on my way. However, please accept this parting gift." She said before doing a curtsy. "To all of you gentlemen I bid you farewell." Before several grenades rolled on the floor from her dress, making the goons scared as they tried to run as 1 of them rolled in front of a scared Abrego before they all blew!
Meanwhile outside, Dutch watched with amazement as Roberta destroyed the Yellow Flag. "Damn. When it comes to killing she doesn't mess around." But was then surprised to see Benny with Garcia. "Benny, what the hell?! I told you that we should leave the kid behind."
Benny shook his head. "I'm sorry, Dutch... I... I just couldn't leave him in there to die."
In the back of the car, Laura, who had teary eyes, tried to wake Revy up. "Revy... C'mon, baby. Wake up... please be okay... Revy!"
Benny wondered as he put Garcia in the car. "Do you guys think that would have killed her?"
That was when Laura could sense something. Slowly, she glanced at the destroyed bar, her eyes frowning as she shook her head. "No. She's still there. I can feel something. Her footsteps are getting closer and closer." As a tear fell from her eye, she looked at the burning Yellow Flag. "I'm gonna kill that bitch... I swear to God, I'm gonna kill her if it's the last thing I ever do!"
When Benny got in the driver's side, started the car and speeded off, Roberta came out of the fire, completely unharmed before finding a car and unlocking it after breaking the driver's window with a punch.
"Where should we go?" Benny asked.
"Where can we go?" Dutch answered with a question. "But we've got her little master with us, so just head to the Port. We've gotta get to the Lagoon."
"I don't care if that bitch is an Invincible killer robot, I'm gonna send her to hell after what she did to my Revy, I swear to God!" Laura said angrily as she held her lover in her arms.
After a few minutes, Benny looked at his mirror and saw a car speeding up to them, knowing exactly who was driving. "She's coming!"
"Laura, wake up Revy! We're gonna need both of you to deal with that bitch." Dutch told his employee.
Laura held Revy in her arms and tried shaking and tapping her girlfriend to wake her. "Revy! Baby, C'mon, wake up!"
Roberta speeded up, getting beside the Lagoon crew's car and hitting it with her stolen car before Dutch shot at her. "Oh for fuck's sake!"
When Roberta was behind them again, Dutch and Laura both shot at her car, making the hood rise as smoke came from the radiator. "DIE! DIE! WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCKING DIE, BITCH?!" Before Roberta reached out as she got close again, grabbing Dutch's wrist and pulling back to drag hmmout of the car! "LET GO OF ME, YOU BITCH!" He yelled as he tried punching her wrist, but even though he was bigger and stronger than her, it didn't affect her, as if she were superhuman or a robot.
Suddenly, the radiator of Roberta's car shorted out, making it stop as she finally let go of Dutch. "This is our chance, hang on, Dutch!" Benny said as he turned and began going through the allies. "We'll head to the Port using these back allies. Once we're out at sea, I don't care who she is, she won't be able to-" But stopped the car once he saw that a truck was in the way and turned right!
"Not good, Benny. We're losing valuable time if we go this way." Dutch said.
"Yeah but her radiator's totally shot, the car's toast." Benny reminded his employer.
"I never said I was worried about the car. Maybe you should have paid better attention to Laura's reference earlier: invisible killed robot? She was talking about the Terminator. Maybe we should start thinking of her as that." Dutch countered while referring to the Terminator movies.
Benny seemed to get that and said. "Okay, I'll push it!" As he speeded up.
"Laura, do whatever it takes to wake up Revy! If this turns ugly, we're definitely gonna need both of you to deal with that Terminator maid." Dutch told his newest employee.
"What do you think I've been trying to do, Dutch?! She was hit by a fucking missile and it gave her a fucking concussion!"
"Well, just kiss her like in that damn Disney movie or something! Surely you must have that kinda power over Revy!" Dutch said while making another movie reference.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I WATCH SLEEPING BEAUTY, YOU ASSHOLE?!" Laura yelled out, being insulted by that remark.
"Yeah, and all ya need is a pointy hat with a purple feather in it!" Dutch said as a joke.
Laura then punched him in the back of his head for that. "FUCK YOU!"
Dutch rubbed his head while telling Benny. "Take the next left, get on the main road and then floor it."
"All right!" Benny said before doing just that.
But as Benny was speeding off, Roberta, who'd stolen another car, was on an intercept course on the roofs before she turned and rammed the car into the Lagoon crew, but only enough to make the engine stall as Roberta shot at them, hitting 1 of the tires before her car bounced and crashed right into a building!
Benny quickly got the car restarted and quickly began to speed off again before Roberta broke out of her crashed car and gave chase, pulling out a military blade before stabbing it into the trunk of the Lagoon crew's car!
Dutch saw this and pointed his gun at Roberta. "Get down, both of you!"
Garcia looked at his maid's eyes. "Roberta."
"Master Garcia." She said with the same tone.
"Kid, get down!" Laura told the boy as she pulled Garcia's head down, allowing Dutch to shoot.
"No! Please don't shoot Roberta!" Garcia begged.
"If this could kill her, we wouldn't be in this fucking mess." Dutch said.
But Roberta flipped over so she was on the roof of the car and got out her guns before shooting inside the car, making Dutch and Laura shoot back before Dutch had to reload.
Benny saw a rig truck coming at them and quickly turned right, getting off the road in the process. "Dutch, we're off the main road! We're headed right for the ocean, there's nowhere to go! We're screwed!" He yelled out before they crashed through the gates and into some barrels that hit Roberta, but didn't harm her much, only breaking her right eyeglasses.
Laura tightly held her Revy in her arms before the car crashed, sending the maid flying into a crate and seemingly knocking her out.
But thankfully, no one was dead. "It pays to be a religious man after all. All survivors, speak up."
"I'm alive, so that's something." Laura spoke up.
"What about Revy?"
Laura looked at her girlfriend and lover and saw that she hadn't even opened her eyes. "She...never even woke up. FUCKING BITCH MAID!" She said with anger as she banged the door.
Benny looked and saw that Roberta was gone before looking left and seeing her completely unharmed with a gun. "You gotta be kidding me! What the hell's this woman made of?!"
But suddenly, Revy finally woke and rubbed her head while her vision was still blurry. "Ugh... Damn it." Then she wondered "Hey, what happend to that stupid bitch. She dead yet?"
Laura shook her head, giving a dead glare at Roberta at the end of the street. "She's alive and well." Feeling both her anger and bloodthirst rising, Laura told with the most serious and coldblooded way to Revy while still glaring with pure hatred to the maid. "Revy. You stay here and watch over the kid. This bitch is mine."
When Laura kicked the door open, Revy was this close to following her. "No way, baby! You're not gonna fight that housemaid without-" But then she stopped as Laura glanced at her. Looking into those coldblooded eyes even made Two Hands nervous.
"Revy." Laura warned her. "Listen closely. I'm about to light up like a goddamn firecracker and there is nothing neither you or anyone can do about it. When that happens, I'm not even going to stop or think twice while raining some bullets, and I sure as hell don't want you to get involved in it. So stay back and let me get my hands on that bloodhound, making her wish she had just stayed home and cleaned the Lovelace residence peacefully."
Revy gave a nod, knowing that her lover meant it seriously before giving her a good luck kiss. "Go fuck up that bitch, baby."
"I will, Revy. I'm gonna teach never to fuck with the Soldier girl and the Two Hands of the Lagoon crew and the meaning of pain!" Laura said as she walked away and stood a few feet away from Roberta like in a wrestling ring, only with crates. "I was willing to let your little master go home with you, if you'd just taken up my generous offer. And that offer would have still stood even after that damn car chase. But after what you did to the 1 woman I have ever loved, I threw it right outta the fucking window, bitch! Now make a move, senorita!"
"I have no need for filthy language and idle threats. You will not find me so easily intimidated. But I see that you also have military training. So, from 1 soldier to another, that wasn't personal." Roberta said.
"You made it personal when you hurt my girlfriend, bitch! Now I'm gonna make you wish you never came to this island!" Laura vowed before they began shooting at each other!
Revy called out to her dear Laura. "LAURA! I KNOW YOU CAN WIN! MAKE THAT BITCH PAY FOR WHAT SHE DID... FOR ME!"
"Revy, get back in the car!" Dutch told his employee.
"Shut the fuck up, Dutch! That's my girlfriend fighting out there and I'm not gonna hide like a damn coward!" Revy said defiantly.
The Soldier girl of the Lagoon crew and Bloodhound of Florencia continued shooting at each other while running between crates before stopping a few seconds later after finding cover, with bullet holes in the crates and in an oil barrel.
Laura checked her right arm and saw that it was grazed by a bullet. "Fuck. No one's managed to graze me since I was in the military. Who the fuck is that bitch?
But Roberta, while unharmed, saw that 1 of her guns was shot, rendering it useless before she threw it away.
"I'm not a shriek but you must have had a pretty fucked up childhood. Where the hell did you come from?! Tell me, maid bitch!" Before she saw a feather fall, making her realize something. "Thought I recognized that smell lingering around you. I'd recognize it anywhere. It's the smell of gutter mud still clinging to your feet." Before she grinned. "Ha. It's perfect, really. All the more reason to finish this off."
That got Roberta thinking about the home she'd had for years now, but after this, she wasn't sure she could ever go back there. "I can't go back. Incan never go back now." Before they both resumed their gunfight.
Dutch and Benny grew a bit concerned as to what they should do. "What's the plan? We could try getting out of the car."
"Yeah, you're right." Benny said as he tried opening the door, but closed it back when he saw how dangerous the fight was getting. "How?"
"It's impossible alright. No wonder Soldier girl and Two Hands are unbeatable together. We'd never make it no matter how many lives we had. I'm not about to go anywhere near that fight. But like they say: there's an end to every beginning. I'm sure they'll settle this eventually." Dutch said while preparing a cigarette before seeing Garcia get out of the car. "Hey, kid, what are you doing?"
Garcia then called out to his maid. "ROBERTA! YOU CAN WIN! ROBERTA, DON'T YOU LET HER BEAT YOU!"
That was when the gunfire got right to where the Lagoon crew was and Laura and Roberta ran straight at each other while shooting until they bumped into each other, both with the same thought on their minds.
"THIS BITCH, I'LL KILL HER! I SWEAR I'LL KILL FOR WHAT SHE DID TO MY REVY!"
"I'M GONNA SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!"
But when they were on the ground, getting into a standoff, lights turned on and a familiar voice called out. "Why don't you call it quits now, you 2? Balalaika asked, with a squad of soldiers pointing their weapons at the 2 combatants. "Neither of you stand to gain anything from continuing this battle, so stop wasting your energy, Soldier girl."
"Shut the fuck up, Balalaika! I'm gonna kill this bitch for what she did to my Revy!" Laura said defiantly.
Balalaika stepped forward while smiling and speaking to Roberta. "There's something you should probably know, miss maid: Hotel Moscow has been planning a war against the Cartel for quite some time. So imagine my surprise." She said as 2 of her soldiers brought in the wounded but still alive Abrego, bringing him to his knees while holding him at gunpoint. "Taking care of this 1 was actually supposed to be my job, but you came along and saved me the trouble. As we speak, their headquarters should be in ruins, therefore all of our problems have now been solved. Garcia's kidnapping has also been dealt with and he may go, so you have no reason to fight, do you?"
"Those 3 and Revy are no doubt the most dangerous women in the world." Benny said.
"This is beginning to feel a lot like ground zero." Dutch added.
But Laura was still not finished with the woman that harmed her girlfriend and lover. "It... doesn't... matter to me, Balalaika. Not anymore!"
"Is that so, Soldier girl?" Balalaika asked before signaling her soldiers, who shot Laura's and Roberta's guns out of their hands, allowing the Russian Mafia leader to point her gun at them. "Don't misunderstand me, ladies. That wasn't a friendly suggestion, that was an order."
Roberta growled at that while Laura wondered who the soldiers were. 'Who the hell are those guys? They're obviously military by the way their uniforms are, but what branch did they serve in?'
Garcia ran close and called out to his maid. "Roberta! You don't have to worry, Roberta! Look at me, I'm fine, they never even hurt me! Please, let's go home. This has to stop. I don't wanna see you with a gun anymore. I don't want to kill." She said sadly.
"I agree, kid, you're right. But what does the Bloodhound think about that?" Balalaika asked, getting a reaction from both Roberta and Garcia. "Oh? So no 1 ever bothered to tell you? Well-"
"You shut up!" Roberta said before Balalaika pointed her gun right between her eyes.
"I suggest you keep quiet, bitch." The Russian woman told the maid before addressing Garcia. "Let me tell you. I'm not sure what you think, but this isn't just some servant who looks good walking the dog. She's the Bloodhound of Florencia, Rosarita Cisneros. Trained as an assassin in Cuba. She's a former F.A.R.C Guerilla. She's wanted internationally for many kidnappings and murders and she's a suspect in the bombing of a US embassy. She's a real hardcore terrorist."
Garcia couldn't believe what he was hearing and asked. "Roberta... is that true?"
"I swear that it wasn't my intention to deceive you, master Garcia. However there are things that are better not to know." Roberta said with sadness. "Everything she said...is the truth. I believed in it with all my heart. I believed in the dawn of a revaluation that would bring justice to this world at last. For that reason and that reason alone, I became a soldier. In the blind pursuit of this ideal, I killed in every place imaginable. Pollitistions, businessmen, counter revolutionaries, election officials. I even killed women and children. Countless days stained in blood, countless nights feeling cold and empty. And what I realized in the end was that I was no revolutionary, I was a guard dog for the Mafia, working to help protect their coca fields." Roberta revealed, spending much time talking that it was daylight. "Isn't it ironic, the revolutionaries working side by side with the Cartels? They said revolution could not be possible with ideals alone. And in saying that, they'd already sold their souls and I knew it was over. I knew my only option was to leave the millitary. And I could only think of 1 man who would take me in, a close friend of dead my father's: master Diego Lovelace." Roberta finished. "Master Garcia, allowing your kidnapping was neglagance on my part. I failed you. And I knew the only way to save you was to awaken a side of me I'd buried long ago. Bloodhound, Guard dog, I've lived my entire life that way and this was the only way I could prove my devotion to you. I wanted to repay you with my life."
But Garcia, despite having been told the truth, still believed it all to be lies due to his young nature. "No! How could you call yourself a dog, Roberta?!" He asked as he ran to Roberta and embraced her. "Don't believe in those lies! We're a family, aren't we, Roberta?! So how could you ever say you're a dog? You're nothing like that, it's just not true. And I don't know any Bloodhound, she died a long time ago! And I don't know any Rosarita either! I bet she moved somewhere far away to try and hide from her sins! Don't you see? That woman has got nothing to do with you anymore." He said as tears fell from his eyes. "The only one I see here is my Roberta!"
"Young master." Roberta said with surprise.
Revy, for the first time in her life in many years, shed a tear after seeing this but tried to hide it from the others. 'I really am changing because of my Laura, aren't I?'
Benny noticed something was up and asked. "Yo, Revy, what's up?"
Revy, not wanting her crew except Laura to know, quickly wiped her eyes. "Nothing, Benny, just something in my eye."
"So, Roberta, let's... just go home now. I just wanna go home." Garcia said.
Roberta knelt down and took a tissue from her uniform. "Here, young master, let me dry your eyes. Boys should not cry so easily."
Balalaika formed a grin. "I'm glad that's settled. We could have a big mess on our hands."
"Give me a fucking break." Laura suddenly says, which surprised Balalaika. "Oh sure, everyone is happy about this teary-eyed happy ending. And under different circumstances, I would be happy for them too. But I still gotta settle a score with her after what she did to my girlfriend! Well!?"
"Can't you just let it go, Soldier Girl?" Balalaika asked with annoyance.
Laura then looked very seriously at Balalaika. "Are you kidding me? If it was you in my shoes, would you just let that maid get away with what she did? And let me remind you that even criminals have a code of honor. We have to settle this, right here and right now. And you know that perfectly well, miss Balalaika."
Balalaika thought about that for a moment. "Hmm. Yes, you do have a point."
Dutch formed a grin as he knew what was going to happen. "Well, it seems obvious to me. A little pair of boxing till they're satisfied."
Revy gave a nod. "As long as nobody dies here, I'm fine with that." She then walked over to her lover and told her. "Don't you dare to lose to that fucking maid."
Laura smirked as she cracked her knuckles. "Not in a million years, baby."
Roberta then glanced at Garcia. "Young master?"
The boy felt conflicted, as Laura was a nice woman to him and doesn't want Roberta to lose to her either. Garcia sighed and said. "Just... just settle this so we can go home."
Balalaika smiled. "Well, then I guess it's decided." As Laura and Roberta stood ready to beat each other up, Balalaika said before stepping out of the way. "Go for as long as you want."
Laura and Roberta stood face to face, both giving each other a death glare before Laura was the first to say. "I don't know what went through that head of yours when you decided not to take my offer back at the bar. But that doesn't matter anymore, because I'm gonna make your face uglier after we're done, you bitch."
Roberta didn't show any emotion but then said. "Before we get started, I should tell you this."
"Tell me what?"
"Your shoelace is untied."
Laura wasn't falling for that. But being sure, she glanced down for a second, only to be hit by a strong uppercut from Roberta, who punched back before the 2 ex-soldier women began trading punches and kicks, landing several hard blows to each other.
"Tell me, Dutch: who are you betting on?" Balalaika asked.
"I bet 2 on soldier girl." Dutch answered.
"I'll go a 3 on Roberta." Benny added.
"Yeah? Well, I'm betting 5 on my Laura." Revy said while hoping that her soldier girl would win and betting 5 on her.
"This...is wrong. It's not right. This isn't right." Garcia said in sadness.
"Kick her maid ass, baby! Show her that no one hurts us and gets away with it!" Revy yelled out, cheering for her girlfriend and lover.
After 3 hours of fighting, both Laura and Roberta were exhausted but refused to give up as Balalaika was starting to get bored, having smoked a few cigars to pass the time and was already on another one. "They just won't give up. This is getting boring."
Revy couldn't believe that her Laura could keep it up for this long. "This is unbelievable." She said as she checked the time. "They've been fighting nonstop for 3 straight hours." But in her mind, she was still hoping that her dear Laura would win. 'Don't give up now, Laura. You almost got her!' She mentally said.
Both Laura and Roberta panted, both their bodies having many cuts and bruises, with Laura having a blackeye on her left, but neither of them cared as they just wanted the one to go down first.
Laura shook her head while still being angry. "Why don't you just die already? Fucking... four-eyes!"
"Same to you... Why the hell won't you just... go down?"
Then, with all their might, both attacked with one last powerful punch! Both hit each other in the head, knocking them both down at the same time!
Balalaika felt relieved that this was finally over. "Well, it's a draw."
"Roberta!" Garcia yelled as he ran over to his maid.
"Laura!" Revy too yelled as she ran over to her lover. "Damn, she's out cold."
When Garcia was going to take back the glasses for Roberta, Revy picked them up and handed them over to the boy. Garcia was confused at first, but slowly took the glasses from Revy, who said sincerely. "Sorry, kid, about the way I treated you before."
Garcia slowly formed a small smile at the woman and said. "Apology is acceptable, woman." Before leaving with Roberta as Dutch and Benny glanced at each other in confusion as they'd never expected Revy to act this way, nor did Balalaika.
"Hey! It's morning, Laura! Wake up!" Benny called to Laura, who was still unconscious on the ground.
Dutch tossed some water over her face, making Laura cough as she slowly woke up. "Huh...?" Then she coughed some more while Revy helped her to sit straight. Laura then asked as she looked at Revy. "Did I win?"
Dutch shook his head. "It was a draw."
Laura grinded her teeth. "Grrrrrr! Damn it." And when tried to stand up, she felt a massive headache and nearly tripped.
Revy held her. "Easy there, baby."
Laura sighed while rubbing her head, but still frowned at not being able to win from the maid.
Revy then softly said. "Hey. You fought amazingly back there. And thank you... for standing up for me."
Laura chuckled. "That bitch deserved it. And... you would have done the same for me, right?" She asked her lover.
Revy touched her cheeks and smirked. "I would've killed that fucking maid without a second thought, Laura."
Both shared a hug, while Benny and Dutch smiled at the both of them.
After a minute, Laura wandered. "But... who were those guys back there?"
Revy glanced at her with a confused look. "You know, all those guys from the Russian mafia. I don't have to gamble to know that those guys were definitely military, or something. But I guess with you being an ex-soldier yourself, you could probably have noticed that at a glace, baby."
"Actually they're ex-military. But you're close." Benny stated.
Revy gave a nod while explaining. "Yeah. Those guys were either paratroopers or in the special forces under Balalaika. Her immediate subordinates had enough training to fight and win World War III if they wanted to. As far as we're told, they were Afghan veterans with an insane amount of experience and skill. Balalaika was the brains of the operation and these men became unstoppable killing machines. They eventually returned from that hot sand and carnage."
Laura understood now while feeling worried of how powerful Balalaika truly was, not even having thought of her having command of her very own militia of ex-soldiers from the Soviet-Afghan war.
Revy then placed Laura's arm around her neck and said as they walked away from the harbor. "C'mon, let's get you back home to recover."
"But... what about you?" Laura asked concerned. "A few hours ago, you were shot by a fucking missile and got a concussion."
Revy shrugged. "Well... guess we both deserve some rest."
Dutch shook her head. "We all do, ladies. I say we all take the rest of the day off."
Benny gave a nod. "I'm in with that, Dutch."
Along the way, Revy thought about her recent changing behavior. She glanced at her lover while thinking, and formed a small smile, knowing that thanks to her lover had maybe changed her for the better. 'Thank you so much, Laura. You're... you're the reason why I'm starting to change... and I thank you for that. You... saved me... from myself, my love.' Before she then thought with a saddened look on her face about the horrible background story Laura gave her and how messed up she is like her. Revy then made a vow to herself. 'Now, Laura... let me return the favor by saving you. No matter what it'll take to get the pieces back together of your broken spirit... I will never give up on you... as you never give up on me. I love you... I... truly... deeply... love you, my dear Soldier Girl.'
