The Soldier and Pirate of Roanapur

by WolveHulk

Same as the series but with Laura, my OC in Rock's place.

12. Chapter 12

The ship's Girl of Black Lagoon

At a local motel in downtown Roanapur, a short 5 feet tall Chinese woman, wearing a housekeeping dress, pushed a housekeeping trolley car with cleaning stuff, clean and dirty laundry across the hallway. The nametag on her uniform said; Xiao. Xiao stopped before room number 105 and knocked on the door "Housekeeping." She waited for a few seconds, with no answer coming. "Housekeeping?" She asked while knocking again, but again didn't get any answer.

Knowing nobody was in the room, Xiao used a spare key to open it and walked inside. When putting on the lights, she hoped that the mess wouldn't be too much, but was relieved after 1 second, seeing that the guest of the room at least kept most things nice. And so, after having changed the bed sheets, some cleaning and dusting, Xiao was ready to go to the next room and locked room 105 behind her, pushing her trolley.

After a few hours of work, Xiao was standing outside the motel, smoking a cigarette, which gave her some stress relief. "I thought you'd said that you would quit smoking, Mom?" A girl's voice sounded.

Xiao looked to her left, seeing it was her 13-year old daughter, Yin, walking over to her. Xiao sighed and dropped her half-finished cigarette on the floor before pressing it out with her shoe. "I'm sorry, honey. I couldn't help myself this time-" Before she explained, but then gasped when she saw her daughter having bruises and some scratches on her arms, shoulders and neck. "Oh my God! What happened to you?!"

Yin gave a shrug while she chuckled, leaning against the wall next to her. "Relax, Mom. I only took a few hits from that big bully. I taught a little lesson." She proudly stated before giving a small giggle. "He cried like a little bitch when I was done with him. Quite ironic, huh?"

Xiao however, though she thought at first that this self-defense training she got from the two lesbian pirates from Lagoon Company was a way for her to be more safe against bad people, Xiao was now worried at what her daughter was turning into. She told her worries to her daughter, giving her a somewhat disappointed look. "I think you're taking these self-defense classes too far, Yin."

Yin narrowed her eyes on her mother. "What are you talking about? He was harassing other kids for his own amusement. And I am not looking away when someone does that, mom, or running away from bad guys any longer!"

Xiao tried to tell her. "Yin, it's okay to stand up for others and for yourself, but it doesn't mean you have to start looking for trouble. It will cause only more pain and suffering to yourself and the people you care about."

Yin looked at her Mom, being quiet for a few seconds. She then rolled her eyes and walked away. "Whatever. I knew it was a waste of time to come and check on you during work. I'm going home."

With Xiao being left behind, she sighed sadly. She was feeling that her daughter was only more and more being consumed by the darkness that had taken so many other people in Roanapur. It made Xiao think back of why she and her husband Chen had ended up in the worst city in all of Asia. Though they'd escaped their home country after speaking ill against the Chinese Communist Party and planned to start a new life elsewhere, Xiao and Chen were scammed by the smuggler that 'helped' them escape China but had dumped them in the middle of Roanapur and had taken all their money while Xiao was 7 months pregnant. With no other choice and having nothing, they tried to survive in Roanapur and raise their daughter however they could. Xiao never wanted this life for their daughter, neither becoming whatever she would turn out into if she kept walking on this path. She needed to make things straight... for her daughter's own good.

A few hours later, at Lagoon Company's apartment

Laura and Revy exited the apartment with Revy taking the key of the car. "We're going to take some drinks at the Yellow Flag. See you later." Laura said.

"Alright. See you girls later." Dutch said.

With Revy putting the car keys in her pocket, she and Laura walked hand in hand down the stairs, going into the street. "I just hope Eda won't be showing up in her nun's uniform for once."

Soldier Girl nodded. "Yeah. Honestly, I liked her wearing that other outfit she used to wear when those Vampire Twins were messing around in the city."

Revy shared her girlfriend's view. "Indeed. Maybe we could convince her to drop the nun's outfit?" And Laura gave a shrug.

A few minutes later, having come to where the car was parked, they saw a Chinese Woman standing there too, walking over to them. Both Revy and Laura were careful, slowly moving their hands to their guns in case this woman wanted to try something funny.

However, the Chinese woman, revealed to be Xiao, raised her hands. "Please. I mean you no harm. I just want to talk."

Seeing she wasn't armed and sensing this wasn't some trick so they would drop their guard, Revy and Laura removed their hands from their guns. Revy asked her. "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"

Xiao stated as she approached them. "I am... Yin's mother, Xiao."

Revy and Laura exchanged a raised eyebrow, not expecting Yin's mother to come to see her. "What's up?"

"I need to talk with you two about my daughter. It's about you both giving her training."

Laura wondered, and asked her. "Really? Is she like... giving you trouble back home?"

Then, Xiao turned very serious and said. "I want you both to stop bothering my little girl."

That surprised them both, with Revy asking. "Bothering her? Hey, listen, Xiao, Yin asked us to train her because-"

Xiao interrupted her by raising hand. "Let me finish!"

Again, Revy and Laura exchanged a surprised look, seeing that Xiao wasn't afraid at all to speak to the two best gunslingers in Roanapur. 'Damn, she's sure got some balls.' They thought at the same time.

Xiao then stated. "I know you're both trying to help Yin. At first I didn't say anything because I thought those training you gave her was only so bad people wouldn't bother her anymore. But that ends here. Most people don't see it, but I do, and I will not have my little girl, who I'd struggled for so very long to raise and feed her to be turned into another psychotic crook like so many others have turned into in this city."

Laura tried to ease her. "Mrs. Xiao, we-"

"No, Soldier Girl!" Xiao said with anger while tears formed in her eyes. "I have not given up on everything that I once had and trying to build a life here, no matter how hard it was, to see my daughter becoming a murderer! Let me ask you, both of you; how long before this innocent and noble thing that Yin is doing fighting off bullies that she would resort to more violence? Or murder? How long before she would begin to like the things she's doing? And kill and making people suffer, for the heck of it?! No matter what kind of noble intentions you try to teach my daughter, or whatever her young and naive mind says so, it stops now, you hear me?! I am her mother and I decide what's best for her!"

Though both Soldier Girl and Two Hands wanted to convince Yin's mother otherwise, both felt that Xiao was right in some way. Despite they had a good relationship with Yin, she's still a child and they're not her parents and don't get the decision to know what's best for Yin.

Revy gave a nod and told Xiao. "You're right. In the end... you have the final word when it comes to Yin."

Laura, though a bit disappointed that Xiao doesn't see how much this could help both Yin and possibly Roanapur, agreed with what Revy said and assured Xiao. "We... we won't bother your daughter anymore, or give her any training whatsoever. You have our word."

Xiao gave a nod. "Good." But before leaving, she gave Laura and Revy a hug. "Thank you for understanding."

When Xiao had left, Laura and Revy slowly entered the car and drove towards the Yellow Flag. Both didn't say a word, but felt that Yin was probably not going to take this well. "What are we going to tell Yin?" Revy wondered.

Laura shook her head. "I don't know. But I guess... we just need to try and explain that we don't have the final word on Yin as we're not her parents."

Revy sighed sadly. "It's a pity. Yin could've become so much more."

Laura held her hand and softly stroked it. "I know, baby."

Meanwhile, at a local largely abandoned bar

Two members of the Colombian Cartel lead by Abrego, dragged a Chinese fruit selling man, who was Yin's father, into the bar and pushed him inside, making him trip and fall on the floor.

From the back of the bar, a fat Colombian with a bald head and a big mustache, walked over to the Chinese man and shook his head with disappointment at him "Oh, Chen. Chen, Chen, Chen." He sat on one knee, glaring at an afraid Chen "Where is my money?"

Chen fearfully raised his hands, begging. "Please, Arturo...! I... I just need more time."

However, the fat Colombian gangster, named Arturo, didn't believe him as he stood up and kicked Chan hard in the stomach. "Don't give me that crap, Chen. You're two months behind your payment. Now... I ask you again: Where is the money?"

"Please...! I don't have it yet-"

But again, he was kicked in the stomach, then at his balls, hurting Chen even more!

"That's what you've been telling me for over a month, Chen. Giving you plenty of time. Now... Where's the fucking money?!" He demanded before he and his two guards began to beat Chen.

After having punched and kicked him for over a minute, Arturo raised a bruised Chen up by grabbing him by the collar, glaring at him. "Abrego wanted his money, Chen. We've given you 10,000 dollars and a good monthly payment arrangement. So, why haven't you still paid us?"

Chen tried to explain. "It's just... I haven't been able to sell much these last few months. But I will get you the money, I swear. I just... I just need more time...!"

Arturo sighed, but then glared at him again. "Well, Abrego can't wait any longer, you Chinese dipshit." Before he pinned Chen to the wall, with a guard holding Chen's arm tight and took out a machete, horrifying Chen as as thought they were going to cut off his arm.

Chen heavily shook his head, begging for his life. "No! No no no no no no no! I beg you! I'll get you the money! I swear, I WILL!"

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, Arturo and his two guards laughed at how Chen was so scared. "Hahahahahahaha! It's amusing, watching you begging for your life." But then he turned serious. "Just see this as a little warning, Chen. If Abrego doesn't get his money soon, we have to... 'confiscate' something important of yours as compensation. An arm? A leg?" Then Arturo smirked. "A few nights with your wife?" Chen looked in shock. "Or how much would that daughter be worth at the market?"

Chen shook his head. "No, please...! Leave my family out of this...!"

Arturo dropped Chen on the floor, warning him as he and his guards left. "You have until tomorrow, Chen. By tomorrow Abrego wants his money." Before they left Chen behind in the abandoned bar.

After some minutes, Chen tried to stand up, though being hurt by being beaten so many times, Chen vowed with anger. "No... You... you stay away from Xiao... and Yin...!" As he wasn't going to let that fat bastard get his hands on his wife or daughter.

The next day

Yin, after having done her chores, left her parents home and walked into the same alleyway where she would have her training with Laura and Revy. Yin was eager to do some target practice again, feeling she'd really improved herself thank to them.

"I can't wait to shoot some more bottles." Yin told herself with a smile. "I feel like that Wild West Legend; Calamity Jane."

But as Yin arrived at the place, she didn't see any bottle cans standing on their basic places. She saw Revy and Laura both leaning to a wall, smoking a cigarette. Both glanced at Yin, looking a bit depressed.

Confused, Yin walked over to them "Hey, what's up? Aren't we gonna do some target practice?"

Laura shook her head. "Sorry, Yin. No target practice." Then she took a drag from her cigarette before blowing out the smoke.

Yin blinked her eyes for a moment, but then gave a shrug. "Okay, so I guess it's fighting practice today, huh?" Before she then got in her fighting stance. "I think I really got the hang of this technique you're teaching me, Laura."

Revy sighed while trying to say. "Yin, we-"

"And that big punch you're teaching me, Revy." Yin said while giving a few uppercuts against an old punching bag nearby. "Some more training in that, and I think I can smack another bullies whole teeth out in-"

"YIN!" Laura and Revy both called simultaneously, causing Yin to look surprised at them.

Revy dropped her cigarette and stumped on it. "We're not doing any target practice or defensive classes. We..." But it became hard for Revy to say, which made Yin look confused. "I'm sorry, Yin. But Laura and I..."

"What's wrong?" Yin asked.

Laura got closer to Yin, bending on one knee and placed her hand on her shoulder, looking sad. "We're sorry, Yin. You're a great kid and... a heck of a student. But... Revy and I can't teach you anymore."

That made Yin look shocked and surprised. "Wha...? What do you mean you can't train me anymore?"

Revy explained. "We... your mother approached us last night and... She doesn't want us to train you anymore."

"My... my mom?!" Yin asked, shocked, slowly turning angry. "And you... agreed to that?!"

Laura nodded. "Yes. Cause it's not our decision what is best for you. We're not your parents, Yin and... you still have a long life before you"

"What's best for me?!" Yin snapped. "This is my life now! I want to become a lawful gunslinger! You promised to train me so I could become one like you guys!"

Revy shook her head. "We never promised you to turn like us, Yin. We only agreed to give you training so you can at least defend yourself. But if your mother says it's enough... then it is enough." Before she gave a sad sigh. That night, taking Xiao's words into concideration, Revy began to see Yin like her younger self back in New York, turning into a coldblooded senseless killer after being raped by those cops and killed her father, turning into a life of crime and killed many innocent people in years after that, causing her to become a lost soul. Revy doesn't want to see that happen again to anyone, not even to Yin, despite her noble intentions.

Yin turned both angry and saddened as tears formed in her eyes. "But I... I... It's what I want! And... and..." Before she stepped backwards, beginning to sob.

Revy tried to comfort her, giving her a hug. "I'm sorry, Yin. I know it's unfair, but you can still help people in another way, but not like this." But that made Yin push Revy away, breaking the hug. Revy tried to calm her down. "Yin, I know you're upset, but-"

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIENDS!?" Yin yelled while tears fell from her eyes.

"We are your friends, Yin." Revy said while standing up. "But I... we don't want to be responsible for you becoming a coldblooded killer. And neither your parents want that. They had sacrificed a lot just to raise you and try to give you a normal childhood despite how cruel and soulless Roanapur is."

"THAT'S NOT UP TO THEM TO... to... to decide!"

"Yes it is!" Laura said in a stern way, causing Yin to gasp in shock. Laura shook her head. "We're sorry, Yin, but for now... It's best if we don't see each other for a while. Best for you to cool off and think about what we've told you and how much your parents love you and want to give you a different future."

Yin stood there in shock, slowly beginning to shake her head. "But... I thought... I..."

Revy, though a bit saddened by this, agreed to what Laura said. "Laura's right. You need to think about this. All of this. You deserve so much better than this... life in Roanapur."

Yin didn't know what to say. She stood there, feeling both sad, betrayed, angry and hopeless.

Laura sighed and took Revy's hand and both walked away, leaving Yin behind.

A tear fell from Revy's eye, feeling deep down she did indeed betray Yin's trust and friendship.

Laura softly rubbed her hand as they walked out of the alleyway. "I know it's hard, Revy. But we did the right thing. Just give Yin some time to cool off and think of what we've said." Before she formed a small smile to her. "In time... Yin will understand." But then she then sadly sighed, feeling deep down they might have been a bit too hard on Yin.

Back in the alleyway, Yin kept standing where she was, looking down while tears fell from her eyes. Then, suddenly, she snaps and roars, punching the punching bag so hard. "AAAAAAAAAARGH!" She punched and kicked it till it fell on the ground, grabbing a nearby pipe and beat the punching bag mercilessly. "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUUUUUCK!" Before she then threw away the pipe, falling to her knees. She stood there for some time, crying. Till she finally stood on her feet and slowly walked away... back home.

That night, back at the Lagoon Company apartment

Laura sat on the couch, with Revy lying on it with her head resting on Laura's lap. Neither of them said anything, other then feeling regret for letting Yin down like that.

Just then, Dutch and Benny walked into the apartment, seeing the two lesbian gunslingers laying on the cough in a kinda depressed mood.

Dutch raised an eyebrow seeing them like this, wondering what caused them to be down. Benny noticed it too and asked them. "Hey, you guys back already? I thought you were going out and training that kid, Yin, again?"

Revy shook her head while staring at the ceiling. "Nope. That's stopped."

Dutch was a bit surprised to hear that. "Stopped? I thought you two were eager to teach that kid to become like you guys?"

"No, we never promised her that, Dutch!" Laura frowned at her boss. But she sighed, cooling herself down and stated. "We... ran into her mom last night and told us to leave her daughter alone." Before she gave a shrug. "So... we did and told Yin we weren't going to train her any more."

Dutch gave a nod of understanding. "I see. Well... it's probably for the best." Before he walked over to the fridge in the kitchen, taking out a can of beer. "You know what's funny?" He asked while closing the fridge. "That kid actually came up to me a few days ago, asking me if maybe someday she could come and work for Lagoon Company."

That surprised Revy, Laura and Benny. "She did?" Revy asked. "Yin never mentioned that to us."

Laura nodded. "Indeed."

Dutch gave a shrug "I know. I was kinda surprised too." Before he stated while taking a sip from his beer and sat down on a chair. "But I told her that I'm not just gonna hire anyone and said she should come back maybe when she's older. But then she wanted to show what 'skills' she'd learned from both Soldier Girl and Two Hands. So... I let her show her skills, well not the shooting part. She showed me some of her fighting skills and..." Again he gave a shrug. "It somehow impressed me. But I stayed with my answer: Come back when you're older and 'maybe' I will consider her for Lagoon Company."

Revy and Laura both exchanged a look, with Laura advising him "Please, Dutch. If Yin does; don't hire her. Believe me... she deserves a better life."

Dutch gave a sigh while Benny handed over a few beers to Laura and Revy "I know." Then Dutch began to mentally think. 'On the other hand... that Chinese girl would have made a great addition to the Black Lagoon. But, Laura is right. It's not up to me or any of us to decide what's best for that kid.'

Feeling she needed to drink away her sorrow and sadness of betraying Yin, Revy slowly stood up and took a big bottle of rum from the fridge and took a big sip from it while going into her and Laura's bedroom. Laura went with her and closed the door behind them. Benny and Dutch let them be, seeing that they need some time alone.

When Laura closed and locked the door, she sat down on the bed with her dear Revy. "Baby? I think…we may have done the right thing for Yin. But it still hurts to me too."

Revy stripped completely naked and sighed. "I know, baby. But right now…" She started while lighting up a cigarette, taking a drag and blowing out the smoke. "...I just wanna drink and smoke away the pain."

Laura stripped completely naked as well before lighting up her own cigarette and sitting down with her. "Then I'll join you, my dear Revy. I think we could both drink that whole bottle of rum and smoke a few cigarettes, while also watching some of our porn vids together." She said before putting 2 of their porn vids in their 5 disk DVD player before playing the 1st, which was after they could make love again after their tats were fully healed.

"The 1 where we could fuck after our tats healed up." Revy said before taking a drag from her cigarette and blowing out the smoke. "Good choice, baby."

Laura took a big sip of rum and said. "Fuckin' right, baby." Before taking a drag from her cigarette and blowing out the smoke from her nose.

Revy Laura continued to sip their rum and smoke their cigarettes while watching the porn vid, feeling the urge to masturbate to it. "Baby, you feel the urge too?" Laura asked with her cigarette in her mouth as her hands went to her breasts and pussy, beginning to fuck herself. "Aaahh. Oooh. Oh shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Revy took a drag from her cigarette and blew out the smoke before answering. "Yes. I wanna masturbate, baby." Before she began to touch her pussy, sticking her fingers inside herself as they watched each other do the 69 position in their porn vid. "Aaaahhh! Ugh! Oh fuck! Shit! Yeah! Fuck! Oh shit! Oh baby, we're such lustful lesbian… bitches, aren't we?"

Laura rubbed her right breast while her right index and middle fingers were going in and out of her pussy. "Fuckin' A right we are, baby! Such naughty, horny lesbian bitches!" She answered before she took 3 drags from her cigarette and blew out the smoke from her nose and saw that she smoked it up to the filter.

She put it out before Revy offered her while putting out her 1st and getting another 1 before offering her Laura. "Wanna smoke another 1, baby? Because I do." She asked before taking a big sip of their rum.

"Aaaah! Fuck! Yeah, baby! Let's…fuck…keep smoking while we fuck ourselves!" Laura answered before Revy put the bottle to her mouth and she took a big sip as well before she took the cigarette in her mouth and Revy lit up hers 1st before she lit up her lover's via a cigarette kiss and they seperated and blew out the smoke together.

Taking their cigarettes out of their mouths, Revy and Laura shared a passionate kiss, with their tongues dancing like a tango inside their mouths, sharing a few moans. "Mmmmmm...! Mmmmm...! Mmmmm." Revy moaned, not stopping their lustful French kiss.

"Mmmmmm... mmmmm... Mmmmmm...!" Laura moaned too while both lay down on their bed, with Laura being on top.

Both slowly broke the kiss, leaving a trail of saliva before both took a drag from their cigarettes and blew out the smoke together. They then put out their cigarettes in the ashtray before resuming their love making, touching and kissing each other nearly everywhere, with Laura kissing Revy down her neck, and Revy used her left hand to pleasure Laura's breasts while her right hand snaked down and touched Laura's pussy.

"Aaahh! Fuck! Oh yeah, Revy, right there! Oooohhh shit! Shit, baby, right there!" Laura moaned in lust. And after a few minutes, she reached out for the bottle of rum, seeing it was nearly empty. However, Laura began to form a grin on what she wanted to do with the remaining rum. She sat straight, on top of Revy, taking a small sip and then dripped the rest of the rum over her naked chest and her breasts.

Seeing the last bits of rum flowing down her body, over her Chinese dragon tat, made Revy form a lustful smile. "Fuckin' shit, baby. You really are a naughty, lustful whore, aren't you, Soldier Girl?"

"Fuckin' A right I am, Two Hands. I'm your naughty, lustful whore. Wanna take a sip of the rest, baby...? Don't hesitate..." Laura said with a lustful voice. Revy slowly sat straight, facing Laura before she leaned in and began to lick and suck the rum from her lover's chest, breasts and belly, making her moan. "Ooooooh, fuck, Revy...!" Laura moaned.

"Hmmmm..." Revy said. "You taste so…fuckin' nice..." And after a few minutes, seeing she'd licked and sucked most of the rum traces from Laura, Revy moved down to her pussy, performing cunniligus on Laura. "Mmmmm. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm."

"Aaahh! Oh yeah! Eat me, baby! Eat out my horny wet pussy! Oooooh fuck! Fuck me! Fuck me! Ooohh, don't stop! Oh shit! Fuck! Shit! Shit! Shit!" Laura moaned in pleasure as she held her dear Revy's head in place. And after 10 minutes, she felt her climax coming. "Revy, baby, I'm cumming! I'm…FUCKIN' CUMMING!" She moaned out while sending her juices into Revy's mouth, with her dear Two Hands drinking them all up until she was dry.

Revy, after licking her lover's pussy clean, flipped them over so she was in top as their porn vid showed them fucking each other's pussies with their double sided dildo. "Now, baby, it's your turn to eat out my horny wet pussy. It's sooo eager for you."

Laura gave her dear Revy a lustful grin before sharing a passionate kiss with her, making them taste traces of their shared rum and cigarettes, but they didn't mind 1 bit. Soldier Girl then kissed down Revy's body, stopping at her breasts to lick and suck on her nipples and leaving her spit on them before getting to her belly button and licking it seductively before reaching her main target and beginning to eat out Revy's pussy, sticking her tongue as deep as it could go. "Mmmmm. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Mmmmm."

"Aaaahhh…fuuuck, baby! Aaaahh! Ohhh! Ohh! Shit! Oh shit! Eat me, baby! Fuckin' eat out my pussy!" Revy moaned in increasing lust as Laura did just that, eating her out for 10 minutes before she felt her own climax coming. "Aaahh! Oooh fuck! Laura, baby, I'm gonna cum! I'm…FUCKIN' CUMMING!" She moaned, sending her juices into Laura's month and holding her head in place to make her drink up every last drop until she was dry.

Then, when Laura licked the cum from her lips and crawled up to her dear Revy and they shared a very lustful tongue kiss, their second porn vid started, showing the 2 lesbian pirates having sex in the control room of the Black Lagoon without Dutch's knowledge, much to their amusement. "Shit, baby, that was a great night, wasn't it? Us fucking like whores on Dutch's chair."

"Fuckin' A right it was, my dear Soldier Girl." Revy answered with a grin before flipping them over so she was on top and getting into the 60 position. "But, while it's playing, let's eat out each other's pussies together." She said with lust before beginning to eat out Laura's pussy again. "Mmmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmm. Mmmmmmmmm."

"Oh fuck yes! Aaahh! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Laura moaned before eating out Revy's pussy as well. "Mmmmm. Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmm. Mmmmmmmmm."

They continued eating each other out for 12 minutes before they felt their peaks coming and after 4 more minutes, climaxed in each other's mouths and swallowed each other's juices. Revy then moved so she was sitting up straight and brought their pussies together before getting an idea, getting her pack and pulling out 2 cigarettes, giving 1 to Laura. "Here, baby, let's smoke 1 more cigarette while we scissor our pussies."

Laura, liking that idea, took the cigarette in her mouth and Revy lit up 1st before helping her lover light hers with a cigarette kiss, both taking a drag and blowing out the smoke together before they began rubbing their pussies together while smoking their cigarettes. "Fuck! Fuck! Oooh! Oh, baby, I fuckin' love this! Oh yeah!" Laura moaned before taking 2 drags from her cigarette and blowing out the smoke.

Revy grinned, admiring her Laura looked smoking while they fucked. "Aaaah! Yeah! Fuck! Fuck! Aaahh! Oooh yes! Oh shhhhit! Oh yeah, baby, you look absolutely sexy like this! Smoking while rubbing your pussy with mine." She moaned before taking a drag from her cigarette, inhaling and blowing out the smoke from her nose.

"Yeah! Yeah! You look sexy like that too, baby! Aaaahh! Ohh! Aah! Uhhh! Oh fuck! Shit! Oh fuuuck yes! Laura moaned in pure pleasure and bliss. And after they finished their cigarettes, having smoked them all the way to the filters, they put them out in their ashtray before feeling their last climax of the night coming. "Revy, baby, I'm gonna cum! Let's…oh shit…cum together! Oh fuck!"

"Uhhh! Ooohh! Aaahh! Fuck! Fuck! Oh shit! Let's…fucking cum together, baby!" Revy moaned before picking Laura up so they sat straight and their breasts rubbed together, increasing the pleasure! "LAURA, I'M…FUCKIN' CUMMING!"

"YEAH, GIVE IT TO ME, BABY! OHHH FUUUUUUCK!" Laura moaned as they both cummed together, sending their juices on the bed and after riding out their combined orgasm, they collapsed on the bed in each other's arms.

6 minutes later

While both panted and lay in each other's arms to rest, Revy and Laura watched how their movie vid ended, with Revy sitting on Dutch's seat at the controls while using a strap-on to bang Laura hard in the ass with her on top while sitting on her lap. And after watching herself climax in the porn vid while resting in Revy's arms and sharing a passionate kiss, Laura gave a small chuckle as she told Revy. "I would love to see the look on Dutch's face when realizing we'd fucked in the boat's control room, right on his favorite chair."

Revy gave a small chuckle too. "He would definitely freak the fuck out about it and make us clean the boat for a month." But then, Revy became sad again, thinking about Yin. "Goddammit... I just hope that Yin will one day understand."

Laura shared her sadness and said before planting a few kisses on Revy's cheek. "I hope so too, baby." Before they shared a few more kisses and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, at Yin's place

Yin was sitting with her mother at the dining table, eating fried rice. No words were shared, with Yin barely taking any bite as she still felt angry and sad.

Xiao, after swallowing her bite, told her daughter, knowing what she was feeling like by not being trained by Revy and Laura anymore. "It's for the best, Yin. So stop being upset about it."

Yin gave a small sigh, not responding while taking a spoon full of fried rice. But as she's about to take a bite… she snapped and threw her spoon away. "I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE UPSET, MOM!" She yelled while nearly jumping from her chair, shocking her mother.

"Yin-"

"How could you?! I was being trained to do some good in this city! And you took that away from me, by turning my two teachers and friends against me!" Yin yelled with anger at mother.

Xiao now turned very serious. "I did it to protect you from yourself."

"Only because I'd beaten the crap out of some bullies?"

"Because of what you were turning into!" Xiao called while raising herself. Though she was a few inches shorter than Yin, the look in her eyes made Yin uncomfortable.

But this time, Yin wasn't scared of her anymore and scowled. "Oh, because your so-called 'hindsight' told you that I was about to turn into a criminal?! Do you even know how fucking stupid you sound, bitch!?"

Xiao gasped at what her daughter called her and began to frown. "How dare you, young lady! I struggle every day to give you a home and having food on our table, AND YOU DARE TO INSULT ME?!"

"YES! Because you ruined my life by interfering in what I plan to do, TO DO SOME FUCKING GOOD FOR ONCE IN THIS FUCKED UP CITY! This is my life, Mom! My own business!" She turned herself with her arms crossed.

Xiao wanted to yell back at her daughter, but chose to remain calm and explain. "But I am your mother, and I am trying to protect you. Not only from yourself, but also from all the dangers that this city brings."

Yin glared back at her mother. "Oh, right, so we have to live in Roanapur for the rest of our lives and keep our heads low, just because you and Dad didn't have the balls to leave this city so we could move on?!" She then yelled. "YOU'RE A FUCKING COWARD!"

That made Xiao snap and slapped her daughter's cheek hard! Yin looked in shock at her own mother and rubbed where she'd had hit her, something she'd never done in her whole life.

For a few seconds, Xiao looked furious at Yin. But realizing that she went that far to hit her daughter, she looked in shock and tried to apologize. "Yin… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" She wanted to reach her, but Yin took a few steps back while tears formed in her eyes, before she ran to the front door, grabbing her black leather jacket and ran out of the house. Xiao tried to call her back. "Yin! Yin, come back! I'm sorry! I never meant to… please, come back! YIN!" But it was no use, as Yin disappeared in the distance. Xiao began to sob, having done something she'd promised herself never to do after giving birth to Yin.

Meanwhile, In a local gun shop

Chen was trading his wedding ring and his great-grandfather's old pocket watch for a shotgun and some ammo. "You must be really desperate, huh?" The old gun seller said while looking very intrigued at the pocket watch.

Chen put the shotgun and ammo in a bag. "My family is more important than my most prized family's possessions."

The gun seller gave a shrug. "If you say so." Before he then looked with his greedy eyes at the pocket watch. "I will make some good money with this." While Chen ignored him and left the store, heading home.

A little while later, near the beach

Yin was sitting on a big rock while holding her legs, giving a few sobs, thinking of what happened. Though it hurt her that her mother had hit her for the first time in her life, Yin began to think of how much her mother had worked so hard in a motel to get some money on the table, while still trying to give Yin a somewhat normal childhood and comforting her whenever she was sad, cheering her up.

Yin wiped away her tears, feeling she never should have called her mother names "I'm such an idiot." She told herself while watching the sea. "I never should have called my mother a coward or a bitch. I know she loves me… and tried to protect me, but… why can't she understand that I'm trying to do some good against bullies and want to become a hero in Roanapur?" Then she sighed, remaining in deep thought before rising up and began to walk back home, thinking she should tell her mother she was sorry. But along the way, it began to rain.

Meanwhile, at Yin's house

While Xiao sobbed of what she'd done to her daughter, Arturo and his 2 men arrived at the place and entered without permission and looked around. "Good evening, Mrs. Chen. I believe your husband has something that belongs to us."

Xiao, feeling scared, tries to tell them. "You-you need to leave! My husband won't be home for a while."

But Arturo, not willing to leave without having some 'fun' said. "It's alright, we can wait for your husband to 'come home'" While getting close to her before he then grabbed Xiao and pinned her down on the table, wanting to stick his dick deep inside the short Chinese woman's pussy.

But then Chen burst inside, armed with a shotgun and pointing it at him. "Aruro, leave my wife alone and leave my house! NOW!"

Arturo, very angry at having his 'fun' interrupted, ordered his men to kill Chen, causing a gunfight, which Yin saw when entering her street, shocking her and making her run fast to her house before she got there and saw through a small window how her father was fighting off the Colombian gangster's men, killing them. But then, shot in the chest by Arturo and then several times in the head, horrifying Xiao and Yin. Arturo, in his rage, even shot Xiao without a second thought, horrifying Yin even more by watching both her parents being killed before Arturo then quickly left the area.

And Yin, being traumatized by what happened, ran away through the pouring rain as fast as she could towards Lagoon Company's apartment. She ran as fast as she could, panting while tears flowed from her eyes after watching her parents killed, blaming herself for not being able to help. It wasn't long when she ran into the street where the Lagoon Company appartement was. She ran up the stairs and banged loudly on the door. "REVY! LAURA!" She kept banging like crazy, trying to force the door open. "REVY LAAAAURA!"

Revy and Laura nearly jumped out of their bed. "What the fuck? That's Yin!" Revy said while quickly putting on her top and pants before running to the door and opening it, with Yin immediately embracing her while she cries. "Yin? What is it? What happened?!" Revy asked.

Yin shook her head and cried her tears out while Revy held her close, allowing her to cry. Laura ran to her too, seeing Yin in a very bad state, but Neither of them knowing what had upset Yin that much.

Dutch then came out of his room, holding a shotgun. "What the fuck was that banging?!" But as he saw Revy and Laura holding a soaking wet and very saddened Yin, he raised an eyebrow. At first he wanted to ask what this was about, but seeing Soldier Girl and Two Hands' glare, he held his mouth for now.

Benny, totally caught by surprise because of the loud banging on the front door, peeked out of his room, seeing the same thing as Dutch was seeing.

15 minutes later

Yin was covered with a big towel while Revy still held her in embrace while Laura, sitting next to them, rubbed Yin's back. Dutch and Benny sat at the opposite couch before Revy softly asked. Yin "Yin, what happened?"

Yin sobbed even more, but tried to say. "They… my Mom and… Dad… they… they're dead…" Shocked, Revy and Laura exchanged a glance, with Dutch and Benny sharing a glance too. "Men came and… my Dad tried to fight them, but…. That man killed him…! They're dead… they're both dead…!" She shook her head and sobbed on Revy's chest.

"Shhhh…" Revy comforted her.

Laura too embraced her. "It's okay, Yin… we're here for you."

Dutch sighed, seeing the whole picture now and Benny felt sorry for the Chinese teen for what happened to her.

Some time later, Revy and Laura put Yin in their bed, allowing her to sleep in it while they would use the couch to sleep. But in her mind, Yin could see the man's expression when he killed her parents. With eyes burning like fire and pure hatred grew in Yin's heart, she'd made a vow to herself. She would find that man… and make him pay for taking the only family she had.

The next morning

Yin, slowly opening her eyes, sighed deep, having hoped that her parents' murder was just a nightmare. But it was no dream... it really happened. She saw a pile of fresh new clothes on a small desk next to the bed, with a small note on top of it, saying that it was for Yin from Revy and Laura.

Slowly, Yin put on the new clothes, a beige t-shirt and jeans with holes in the kneecaps. Her shoes were next to the bed, having been dried. While Yin put on her shoes, she could hear Dutch talking with the others in the living room as her door was ajar, with Revy and Laura trying to convince Dutch that Yin should stay with them

"She has nowhere else to go, Dutch." Revy said.

Dutch however sounded unsure about this. "I don't know, Revy. Having a kid around here."

Laura tried to convince Dutch. "But we can't just leave Yin on the streets, Dutch. Her parents were the only family she had, as far as I know of. And there's no telling what would happen to her if she ends up in one of those orphanages in Roanapur."

For this once, Benny felt that Revy and Laura were right. "Laura has a point, Dutch. I heard rumors that sometimes human traffickers stop by those orphanages, bribing the staff to take a few of those kids and sell them to the highest bidder." Before he gave a small uncomfortable sigh. "Only God knows where those kids end up."

Revy was as sure as hell not going to abandon Yin to such a terrible place, remembering her years in a child welfare center, where she was sometimes often punished badly by some staff members and treated like shit. Revy could easily picture how badly Yin would be treated like that... if not worse, being taken by those heartless human traffickers, being sold to maybe child molesters, or worse... sold like meat. Revy gave Dutch a determined look. "You better not think of sending her to those people, Dutch!"

Dutch shook his head while raising his hand. "Hey, who says that I would do something like that? God, I'm not that heartless!" Then he sat down while thinking for a short moment. He then gave a nod. "Well... I guess the kid can stay for a couple of days, till we know what to do with her. The only thing is, we don't exactly have a spare room for her."

Revy gave a shrug. "Guess me and Laura will have to use the couch for a while longer then. Not that I don't mind it anyway."

Benny then suggested. "What about the storeroom between mine and Revy and Laura's bedroom, where we've stored some of our old junk?"

Laura nodded. "That could work." Before she glanced at Dutch. "We were planning to get rid of that stuff anyway, right?"

"Yeah, that should do it, alright." He said while standing up. "And since we don't really have a job at the moment, other than ordering new ammo and doing some repairs on the Black Lagoon, I suppose it would only take an hour or 2 to turn the storage room into a spare room for that kid."

That was when Yin slowly walked into the living room. "I..." Yin tried to say "Thank you... for letting me stay here."

Dutch however said. "It's only for a little while. But once we know a good place for you to stay, we'll drop you there, no questions and no 'buts'." Before he then opened the door to the storage room and began to take some things out, with Benny helping him.

While Yin looked down, Revy walked over to her and sat on 1 knee in front of her, asking softly. "Do you need to pick some stuff from home?" Before Yin gave a small nod after a few seconds.

Revy and Laura exchanged a glance, seeing it was maybe better that they should go to Yin's house alone, with Laura asking her. "You want to stay here? I think it's better you don't come with us, as it would be too much for you because of... your mom and dad."

Yin however shook her head as she glanced at Laura. "I'll be fine."

"You sure? If it's-"

"I'll be fine." Yin repeated herself.

Laura sighed. "Well, alright." Before she and Revy then went with Yin, wearing her black leather jacket, out of the apartment. When stepping outside, it was now drizzling. Though it wasn't pouring rain like last night, it still gave the same depressing feeling. They stepped into the car and drove away towards Yin's old place.

When arriving at Yin's house, a few police cars were there, with some cops already putting police tape around the house. One officer stopped their car and stated. "Sorry, no one is allowed in here while the investigation is going."

Laura, stepping out of the car, walked over to the officer. "Listen, punk, we just need to get inside to pick a few things for the girl." As she pointed at Yin, sitting at the backseat of the car. "She used to live here."

The police officer however shook his head. "No can't do, Soldier Girl. That would be against police protocol." But then he formed a grin. "Unless... you could give the law enforcement a little 'donation'?"

Laura frowned at the corrupt officer, disgusted that they needed to pay them just to get some stuff for Yin, but put an amount of 5,000 dollars in his hand. "Just let us inside for a while. We won't be touching things that seem too valuable for the 'investigation'." Laura ensured, but knew that the Roanapur police wasn't going to take this investigation seriously as murder is like a normal common thing happen in Roanapur.

When Laura, Revy and Yin walked over to the house, the coroner and a few others carried the bodies of Chen and Xiao, now inside body bags, out of the house.

Yin looked saddened at the bodies of her deceased parents, but looked away while a tear fell from her eye. Revy placed a arm around her shoulder while they walked inside.

All walked upstairs, where Yin's small room was. Yin didn't take too many things as she didn't own much. She only took a few outfits, including the ones she bought with the 'birthday money' that Revy and Laura gave to her, and a few photos of herself with her parents. When Yin was done, placing all she wanted to take in a backpack, they walked back down the stairs.

However, wondering who could be responsible for the deaths of Yin's parents, Laura asked one of the investigators standing in the living room while examining the bullet holes. "Any idea who it could be?"

The female investigator named Piper, who was one of the very few honest cops in Roanapur, shook her head and answered "Sorry, Laura. Even if I tell you who it is, the chief won't be taking any action anyway. And I certainly won't encourage you guys to go after them, as they're a regular client of Lagoon Company if I'm not mistaken."

Laura however still wanted to know. "C'mon, Piper. Just tell me."

Piper sighed. "Alright, but it's up to yourself what to do with this info." Before she then told who it was, knowing who the murderers were as she pointed to the two bodies that the coroner had examined before putting them in body bags. "They're members of the Manisalera Cartel. Abrego's men."

Yin however, had heard what the investigator told Laura, which made her rage boil deep in her soul, but tried very hard to hide it.

"Yin?" Revy asked.

Yin, brought back to reality, gave a nod to Revy. "Yeah, uhm... sorry." And both walked back over to the car before Laura joined them a few minutes later and drove away from the area.

Yin took one last look at her old house, feeling she wasn't going to be living there anymore. But in her mind, she vowed. 'I will avenge you both, Mom and Dad. I don't care how many of those Cartel bastard will try to stop me... I will find that man who killed you... and make him pay...!' However... Yin felt she couldn't do it alone, feeling she needed more help... and info.

In the next few days, Revy and Laura were there for Yin to comfort her in her mourning, making her feel more comfortable now that she's staying with Lagoon Company for a while longer. Benny tried as well to comfort Yin, feeling sympathy for the 13-year old, though he let Revy and Laura do the most as he didn't had that much experience as it came to a traumatic childhood.

Surprisingly, Dutch did his best to also make Yin a bit more like home with their crew, although in his mind he still wasn't sure to keep Yin around, as he thought that it would only slow the crew down.

On the third day after Yin's parents' murder, Lagoon Company were sailing with their boat for a last minute job to pick up some 'very valuable' cargo for Mr. Chang of the Triads, Yin was allowed to join them as neither Revy and Laura wanted to keep Yin alone the whole time in the apartment, knowing from experience that sometimes jobs like these can take longer than anticipated. But this time, the crew of the Black Lagoon didn't walked into any trouble with either rival pirates or other problems. And trying to keep herself busy, Yin had been a good help with carrying the cargo onto the boat.

While the Black Lagoon sailed back to Roanapur, Yin was sitting at the stern, watching the sun go down. Yin took a picture she kept in her pocket, looking at it for some time before Dutch then appeared, standing next to her. Yin looked at him for a moment, with him sitting next to her. "You hanging in there?" he asked.

Yin gave a shrug. "Yeah."

Dutch then made a little joke. "Not the kind of work you'd expected, right?"

Yin gave another shrug. "Maybe. I just thought, since all the stories I heard, thing would be more exciting and all."

"They only happen once in a while." Dutch stated. "But most of the time, these little errands we do for our clients are the usual ones we do. To be honest, that's just the way I like it." That made Yin raise an eyebrow at Dutch. "Trust me, kid. If you're looking for excitement, explosions and sharing rains of bullets, facing reality is a real bitch."

Yin didn't say anything at first while looking back at the sea. She gave a sigh before saying. "Just like when my parents got stuck in Roanapur."

Feeling that talking to her might make things easier for her, Dutch wandered and asked. "How did your folks actually get stuck in Roanapur out of all places?"

Yin wasn't feeling like she wanted to tell a full-detailed story of her parents, but seeing she never told anyone her parents' full detailed backstory, she felt that she could trust Dutch with it. "Well, for starters; They tried to stand up against the Chinese government, like so many others back then. Despite my Dad being a teacher at the Beijing university and my Mom the vice-principal of a local high school, they hated the communist government. When the east-block was starting to crumble, they even joined Tiananmen Square protests. But when the soldiers came and slaughtered so many people at that square, my parents barely made it out alive. Thankfully, they weren't arrested, but seeing the Chinese communist government wasn't going down like the Soviets, my mom and dad decided to start a life elsewhere. They were promised by a well known smuggler that he would bring them safely to Australia, but said they had to make a 'transfer' in Roanapur. But too late they realized that they'd been lied to and that the smuggler simply stole all their remaining money and left my parents to rot in Roanapur, and that while my Mom was pregnant with me."

Dutch felt bad for her. 'Damn. If only the governments didn't use good people like that for their own fucked up ends, the world would be a much better place.'

Then, Yin asked Dutch out of the blue. "How did you end up in Roanapur?"

That surprised Dutch a bit, not expecting the Chinese 13-year old girl to ask. Dutch wasn't someone to share his own backstory to someone he barely knew or easy to convince. So, he asked her. "Well, what did you hear about how I ended up in Roanapur?"

Yin gave a shrug. "I heard some rumors. But, honestly... The most realistic theory, seeing that you're mostly dressed like an American marine from the 70's, is that you fought in the Vietnam War, you deserted and fled to Roanapur where you took a profession in becoming a mercenary for hire."

Dutch gave a small chuckle. "Well, you couldn't be more right about that one. Yeah... I fought in Vietnam." But the memories of him fighting in the Vietnam War made him frown. "Worst mistake of my life."

Yin kept glancing at him, waiting for him to tell more.

Dutch sighed as he didn't want to share too much about his time in the US army. "I've seen a lot of bad stuff in Vietnam... made a lot of mistakes that I wish I could undo. So I turned my back on my fellow marines... and I never looked back."

Yin gave a nod in understanding. But, changing the mood, Dutch asked her. "So, both your parents were actually teachers back in China, huh? Guess they gave you some good lessons back home, huh?"

Yin nodded. "Yeah. I have been homeschooled ever since I turned 3, I think. So, I know quite a lot." Then she asked Dutch. "I guess I have to be sent to school when you people bring me somewhere I could stay, right?"

"Perhaps." Dutch said with a shrug. "But, we haven't exactly found anything yet, so don't worry too much."

"I'm not." she assured him.

He then gave her a small grin. "So, in the meantime, I guess you could help us around a bit, if you want." That made Yin smile, but Dutch reminded her. "But that doesn't mean I'm hiring you, Yin."

Yin gave a nod. "I understand." Then she formed a little smile to him while saying as they looked at the sea, with some seagulls flying over the boat. "But either way... being on board the Black Lagoon and doing a job with you guys, was a great experience anyway."

Then Dutch added with a little smile "And for a noisy little teenage girl, you're okay, kid." Before he took out a cigarette. But as he was about to light it up with a lighter, he asked her "You don't mind if I smoke?"

Yin shook her head, not minding Dutch to have a smoke. But, Yin then wondered. "But... if you're here, who's steering the boat?"

"Relax, kid. Benny has taken the wheels for now."

Yin gave a nod in understanding. But then asked. "Can I steer the boat sometime?"

Dutch gave her a chuckle. "Not a chance, kid."

Later, that same evening

After the crew had returned to Roanapur, they ate some pizza in the apartment.

However, Yin wasn't eating much, as her mind was mostly on her goal to avenge her parents' deaths and was showing a mixture of seriousness and depression.

Laura took notice that Yin had only eaten her first slice of pizza halfway and told her. "Your pizza is getting cold, you know."

Yin gave a small shrug. "I'm not hungry." Before she got up from her chair and went to her room.

Revy felt she wanted to be there for Yin and rose up from the couch, but Laura held her arm, stopping her as she said. "Just leave her. She just needs some time alone."

Revy sighed and sat back down while taking another pizza slice.

"You know." Benny began to say to Dutch. "Yin was a good help when we picked up that delivery for our latest client. Perhaps we could consider her to stay with us?"

However, Dutch reminds him. "Benny, it's not official. Like I said before; she can stay for a couple of days before we see what to do with her." Before he then gave a shrug. "She was a good help today, I give you that. But that doesn't mean I am hiring her. I ain't a fan of child labor."

"Well, maybe you don't have to hire her at all, Dutch." Laura suggested, which made Dutch raise an eyebrow at her. "I mean, she can stay with us and do some chores once in a while. And maybe... you could just give her a 'side job' in the company?"

"I'll think about it," Dutch said.

A few hours later

After Yin had taken a shower, brushed her teeth and put on her new night gown, she was laying in her bed in her small room, staring at the ceiling. She still couldn't sleep. She sighed while sitting straight, feeling her stomach was rumbling before she stood up from her bed and walked out of her room.

Nearly all the lights were out in the apartment, with everyone having gone to bed, with only a few dimmed lights on. Yin went to the kitchen and opened the fridge, seeing if she could find a snack to satisfy her stomach a bit. She was surprised to find a plate of food covered in foil, with a note on top of it saying; 'For Yin, in case you get hungry - Revy.'

Yin formed a small smile as she took the plate out of the fridge, consisting of noodles with beef. Yin was glad that Revy was kind enough to leave some food for her, who she began to see as a big sister-figure. After removing the foil, she puts the plate in the microwave to warm it up. While waiting for her food to be ready, she sadly began to think back of the moment when Arturo killed his parents. She felt her rage boiling inside her.

"Hey." A voice suddenly said, making Yin yelp.

But Yin was relieved to see it was Dutch and sighed in relief. "Geez, Dutch. You scared me. I thought you went to bed too."

Dutch gave a shrug as he stood next to her while leaning to the wall. "I am the owner of the Lagoon Company, Yin. As the boss, it's my responsibility to see if everything is going smoothly and check if we need more supplies, ammo or guns."

Yin gave a nod and stared back at her food being warmed up in the microwave.

"So, deciding to eat something after all, huh?" Dutch asked.

Yin gave a small nod without looking at Dutch. "Yeah. It's hard for me to sleep with an empty stomach."

"I hear you." Dutch said before he gave a small pat on her shoulder before leaving "Well, enjoy your meal."

"Dutch?" Yin asked just before he left the kitchen.

He stopped. "Yeah?"

Yin then gave Dutch a serious face. "What do you know about the Manisalera Cartel?"

That surprised Dutch a bit. But after hearing from Laura and Revy who was maybe responsible for killing Yin's parents, he crossed his arms. "What's there to tell? They're a criminal drug cartel from Colombia, led by Abrego.

Yin shook her head. "That's not what I meant, Dutch. I mean... do you know where their headquarters are in Roanapur?"

"And why do you want to know that?" Dutch asked her with an equally serious look.

Yin had this anger inside her that she wanted to tell who she's after, but looked away, with a mixture of hate and controlled anger. Dutch knew where this was going and told her. "Hey. You better not be thinking of doing something stupid, you got that? Abrego and his men are dangerous."

Yin looked with anger at Dutch while a tear fell from her eye "That man killed my parents, Dutch!"

"Who? You mean Abrego?"

Yin shook her head. "No! It's..." Before she then sighed. "I don't know his name but... I know he's fat, has a bald head and has a big ass mustache on his lips going all the way till his neck."

Dutch didn't say a word, as he knew who it was that Yin saw that killed her parents.

Yin felt deep down that by the look of Dutch, she felt that he knew who that man was. "You know who it is? Do you?"

Dutch gave a sigh. "Yep. I know who it is."

"Then tell me where I can find him!"

Dutch shook his head "No, I won't."

"What?!" Yin snapped.

Dutch tried to convince her. "Kid, I know that look on your face. It's the face of a stubborn girl that doesn't let go of her anger and blindly falls into the darkness without knowing the consequences. Believe me, if I tell you, I know you're going after that man, and I sure as hell know that you won't get out of there alive."

Yin formed a mixture of anger and sadness. "He deserves to die for what he has done to me! I...!" Tears fell from her eyes. "I had no other family than my parents... and he took them away from me!" Before she gave a few sobs and looked at Dutch with her teary eyes. "Please, Dutch... help me. Help me to avenge my parents."

Dutch however wouldn't budge and was about to tell her that he still won't tell her. But as he looked at her, he froze... as if Yin was looking like someone that he'd met when fighting in Vietnam... someone that he was unable to save.

Yin wiped away her tears, finding it weird why Dutch wasn't saying anything and just... stood there. "Dutch?"

Dutch had brought himself back to reality and told her with a stern look on his face. "Listen here and listen well, kid!" And the way he looked at her even scared her a bit. "I ain't telling you shit and I sure as hell are not going to guide you all the way to your doom for just some vengeance!" Before he turned away and walked out of the kitchen. "Just finish your food and go to bed. And we're not talking about this again!" Then he slammed his bedroom door shut!

Yin just stood there, shocked. But then she grew frustrated as Dutch wasn't going to tell her anything where the man who killed her parents and slammed her fist on the table. "Fuck!" Before a ding came from the microwave, signalling that her food was warmed up. Yin just took the food and began to eat it at the table, still feeling angry that Dutch won't tell her anything.

Inside Dutch's room

The African-American leader of Lagoon Company sat on his bed, took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes. "Goddammit. Why can't I just forget about that day...? Why?" He cursed himself, as the way that Yin looked at her made him remember that awful day during his service in the Marine Corp in Vietnam, which resulted in him deserting the Corps.

The next day

The phone ran. Laura picked it up. "Lagoon Company." And hearing then who it was, made her smile. "Hey, Eda! What's up?" Then, hearing what Eda was calling for, made Laura somehow interested. "Okay... so you and the Rip-Off Church need some extra muscle, huh? All right, but this better not mean that me and Revy won't have to dress like a bunch of nuns." Hearing that Eda assured them that won't be the case, made Laura agree to it. "Okay. We're on our way." And hung up.

"Was that Eda?" Revy asked as she took a bite from her bagel.

"Yeah. Sister Yolanda has asked Eda to pick up some valuable weapons from a client in Cambodia, but Eda suspects that the deal won't go as expected as their client is a bit mysterious." Laura answered.

Revy got the idea what Eda needed them for, but felt that Eda only wanted to ask them as they're not only the best gunslingers in Roanapur, but also are now considered as close friends with Eda. "So she needs our guns to watch their backs, huh?" Before she went over to her room to grab her guns while taking the last bite from her bagel. "All right. But the Rip-Off Church better pay us well for this."

As they were ready to go, Revy told their boss. "Dutch, me and Laura are going to help Eda and the church for some job. This might take longer than usual."

Dutch gave a nod "Alright. Be careful out there, huh?"

"We will," Laura assured, but stopped before the door and told Dutch. "And Dutch...

keep a close eye on Yin for us, will ya?"

Dutch gave a shrug as he sat down and took a bite from his breakfast. "Yeah, sure."

After Revy and Laura had left through the door, Yin came out of the bathroom, now wearing her outfit "Hey, where are Revy and Laura going?" She wondered.

Dutch told her. "Just some job for the Rip-Off Church. They'll be back after a while, like 1 or a few days or so."

That made Yin wander as she sat on the opposite side of the table. "I thought that they only worked for you, Dutch?"

"They are." Dutch explained. "In this line of business, they get other jobs sometimes but are still on payroll through me. Since we have a good relationship with the church. Sister Yolanda helps us with weapons and ammo and stuff, which we pay for, but we also get some discount or other favors from them in exchange for doing some favors for them. It's the same with our other clients in Roanapur, including the Colombians, the Italians and the Russians."

Yin gave a nod in understanding and after a few more minutes, with Yin just sitting on the opposite side of Dutch, not taking any breakfast, Dutch asked her. "Okay, what's bothering you, kid?"

Yin sighed. "Dutch... about yesterday, I-"

"We're not going over this again, Yin." Dutch repeated himself. "I told you, I am not going to tell you where to find your parents' killer, just so that you will end up dead."

Yin remained quiet for a moment. Dutch thought that she got the message, which made him give a nod and went on eating his breakfast. "Okay, how much?" Yin asked very seriously.

Dutch looked surprised at her. "Excuse me?"

"How much for the info Dutch?" Yin said determined.

Dutch sighed. "You just don't know when to quit, do you?"

Yin shook her head. "I made a vow after what happened. I AM going to find that man... and make him pay." Before she said with nothing but hatred.

Dutch crossed his arms at her, thinking that she doesn't even have the cash for that kind of info. "And what are you offering? Are you going to pay in nickels and quarters from your 'piggy bank'? If that's the case, we're done talking-"

But then, Yin slammed a big pile of cash on the table, which surprised Dutch a bit, with Yin saying very seriously. "I'm offering you 10,000 dollars for the info!" Dutch stared at the cash, seeing it was indeed 10 grand. Yin stated "It was all that was left of my parents' life savings and I am giving it all to you for the info of that monster that killed them." Dutch seemed conflicted that Yin was offering this kind of money, seeing there was no way in hell to convince her otherwise. Yin then added. "After all, in this line of work that you're doing, I'm just another client. Right?"

Dutch sighed deeply. "Kid... you have no idea where you get yourself into." He said as he took the cash. "Fine. The guy's name is Arturo Hernández. He's a loan shark in service of the cartel. He's in good relationship with Abrego, no idea why, as he's considered as scum and almost the lowest of the cartels as he's a pain in the ass to all of them in there."

"Where can I find him?" Yin asked with the same seriousness.

Dutch shook his head. "He doesn't have an address in Roanapur where you can just ring the doorbell, kid. He basically lives and sleeps in Abrego's headquarters downtown. I'm not advising you to go near that place. Believe me. That place is a snake's pit."

Dutch sighed as he stood up. "There. I hope that info satisfies you enough?" Although Dutch was normally friendly and easy going, he was this time a bit more stern and told Yin. "And don't think of doing anything stupid. Like diving into the snake's pit all by yourself. Cause if you do that... only God knows what will happen." Before he then took his finished plate and took it to the kitchen and placed it inside the dishwasher.

However, Yin had other plans. Now that she knows who her parents' killer is and where he is, she would go out and kill him no matter what, despite it being reckless and a fool's errand. But she couldn't go now. She had to wait... till it was dark. And so, as the day progressed, Yin just pretended to forget about her parents' killer and did her best to help around, with either Dutch on the boat, or helping Benny, who's wrist was still broken from the Italian job, by going with him in the the car to pick some new computer and other electronics for the boat.

While putting the boxes on the Black Lagoon, with Yin going back to the car to check if they'd missed anything, she noticed a packaged box in the trunk. 'Huh. Benny must've missed this 1.'

But as Yin was about to grab it, Benny came over and told her. "Not that one, Yin. That's for the apartment."

Yin nodded. "Okay."

Dutch then came back from the boat and went over to the car as well, saying "Well, the engine is all fixed up and good to go for the next job." Before he, Benny and Yin stepped in the car and drove back to the apartment, ordering some hamburgers along the way for dinner.

That same night

Yin watched her small clock at her side of the bed, seeing it was now 02:10AM. With a determined look on her face, Yin stepped out of her bed, put on her clothes and black leather jacket before she tiptoed out of her room, going slowly to a closet, where some guns were being held. Yin picked a 45. kaliber gun and puts it behind her back, covering it with her black leather jacket.

"I am going to find you Arturo Hernández... and kill you..." Yin told herself quietly before tiptoeing to the front door, opening it carefully and leaving the apartment. She sighed while going down the stairs. "I know you warned me not to go, Dutch. But I have to do this."

But just as she exited the complex, she gasped to see that Dutch was there, leaning to a pole with his arms crossed. "So, you've decided to dive right into the snake's pit, despite my warning?" Dutch asked her with some disappointment.

However, Yin wasn't going to let herself be lectured. "I am going, Dutch. And there's nothing you can do to change my mind!"

Dutch sighed. "You're right. I am just the guy that gave you the intel." Yin was about to leave, but Dutch stopped her by saying. "But I can't let you go alone into that place." That made Yin look at Dutch with a surprised raised eyebrow. Before he gave a nod. "I'm going with you, just because I don't want to be responsible for leading you into your death." Before both went to the car and stepped in. But before Dutch ignited the ignition, he told her. "Just to let you know; even if you find Arturo and have your revenge on him, it won't bring your mama and pop back to life."

"Let's go." Yin said, ready to go into whatever it takes for her revenge.

Dutch started the car and drove off. In his mind, Dutch felt some worry for Yin. 'I just hope that confronting that Colombian loan shark will give her some peace...' He thought but then he figured. 'Then again... Laura and Revy would've done the same thing for Yin if they were here now. I just hope that this won't turn out ugly.'

Later, after 10 minutes of driving

Dutch pulled over somewhere and turned off the engine and said while pointing to a big building that was guarded by some Cartel guys with guns. "There. That's Abrego's little headquarters." Then he asked her. "So, you got a plan to get inside the place? Pretending that you're a frightened little girl that wants to make a phone call to her parents inside? Or perhaps pretending that you're a pizza delivery girl?"

Yin frowned at Dutch. "Is that sarcasm really necessary?"

Dutch gave a simple shrug. "I was just wondering what you had in mind to get to your parents' killer." Then he figured. "Let me guess: You thought you could go in there, guns blazing, kill the guy and get out without a single scratch like one of those action figures from the 80's."

Yin wanted to say something back with anger, but seeing that she didn't really have a plan so far, she crossed her arms and looked away. "I'm... still working that out."

Dutch shook his head. "That's what I thought. You don't have a plan." Then he sighed while telling her as he leaned back on his chair. "That's one of the most important rules when facing your enemies. You've got to have a plan to get in, see what to expect and have at least an escape plan."

Yin sighed deeply, knowing now that she would never get inside, despite having a gun. But seeing the nummer of guards being heavily armed and the possibility of more guards inside, Yin was sure she would be dead before even reaching Arturo. She cursed herself while burying her head in her hands "Fuck! GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!"

"That's what I was trying to tell you, Yin. You didn't think ahead and let your anger and hatred guide you." Dutch told her, revealing that he was never going to allow Yin to get herself killed and only came with her so she would realize how much her anger had blinded her and she wasn't thinking straight anymore. Yin gave a few sobs while Dutch rubbed her back. "I know, kid. Let's get out of here, shall we?"

Yin was going to say something. "Yeah... let's just-" But then, as she glanced at the Cartel building, she gasped as she saw someone leaving it, revealing to be Arturo, greeting some of the guards while going out. Seeing the man who killed her mother and father, made her rage boil.

Dutch noticed where Yin was looking and said. "Ah, shit..." And without a 2nd thought, Yin left the car, with Dutch trying to stop her but it was too late. "Wait, Yin! Come back!" As Yin kept walking over to where Arturo was walking towards. Dutch got out of the car, seeing Yin following Arturo. He knew that this would get messy and went after her, but without causing any attention.

Arturo put his hands in his pockets while humming some song as he walked through an empty street. Suddenly, he heard something and looked back, but saw nothing.

But unknown to him, Yin was hiding behind some cars, with her hand to her back close to her gun. Arturo looked around with some suspicion before he walked further.

Yin peeked from behind the car, seeing that the fat Colombian was entering an abandoned alley. Slowly, she took out her gun, clicking it to see if it was loaded and then appeared, going into the alleyway with her gun in hands. She could barely see anything, but kept moving. Remembering her training with Laura and Revy, she used her other senses more seriously.

Then... a click was heard from a gun, making Yin to turn and doge, avoiding just in time a few bullets being fired by Arturo! Quickly, Yin hid behind a big trash container, avoiding Arturo's fired bullets from his gun!

"Thought you could sneak up to me, huh?! Well think again, senorita!" Arturo yelled with an evil smile, thinking he got the girl cornered. But then, Yin fired back with her gun, causing Arturo to look for cover too! Arturo became frustrated. "So, you came to kill me, right?! Do you have any idea who you're messing with, kid?!"

"A fat asshole who thinks he's a big shot." Yin mocked him.

Arturo growled with anger and fired more bullets at Yin, but that gave Yin the opening she needed and fired, hitting Arturo in the shoulder, causing him to fall back! Though in pain, he tried to fire back, but only fired 1 bullet before his gun was empty.

Yin then appeared, aiming her gun at a now wounded Arturo, looking down at him while aiming to his head. Arturo looked scared and held his hands up. "Hold it, girl! I can give you all I have! I got good drugs! I got cash! Is that it? You want some money?"

Yin shook her head. "No. I want something you took away from me! My mom and dad!"

Arturo raised an eyebrow. "Your... mom and dad?"

With her rising anger and sadness, with a tear falling from her eye, she angrily asked. "Do you remember Chen and Xiao Wong?! The two people you shot and murdered in cold blood?!"

That surprised Arturo, as this girl knew the name of his client owning him lots of money and the wife he'd killed. That was when he realized who he was dealing with. "You're their kid."

"You're going to pay for what you've done to them!"

That was when Arturo was playing along and said with a smirk. "You have no idea why I was at your house that night, huh?" Before he slowly stood up. "Your father... Chen... he rented a lot of money from me... from Abrego. But later on, he stopped paying me his monthly fee, and said all those kinds of bullshit stories of being low on cash. So, after I gave him one last chance to pay what he owed me, I warned him also that I would take something valuable from him as compensation." But then he turned angry. "But your reckless father... wanted to screw me over." Before he then quickly grabbed Yin, taking her gun before kicking her hard in the stomach then hard in the face with her gun, causing her to fall backwards! "And now... you came here to KILL ME?!" Arturo angrily yelled as he pointed his gun at Yin.

Yin, with a bleeding nose, looked with fear at Arturo, now holding her gun between her eyes. Arturo smirked. "See ya..."

But then, Yin kicked his leg so hard (thanks to Laura's and Revy's self defense class) causing Arturo to trip, firing a bullet, but missed Yin who stood up quickly and jumped right on him, punching and kicking him hard. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

Arturo took several punches before he tried to grab Yin and punch her hard in the face, but she blocked the next few punches and then jumped on top of him, biting him so hard in his ear that she ripped it off, causing Arturo to bleed badly while he yelled in pain! But that made Arturo even angrier and he grabbed Yin by the throat, pinning her down on the floor and attempted to choke her. As Yin was this close to choke to death, she managed to grab a nearby rock and used it to hit Arturo hard in the head, close to his right eye, making him groan in pain as he released Yin, who then kicked Arturo hard in the stomach with both legs! Seeing Arturo was in such pain of both his ear being ripped off and now his left eye being injured, Yin punched and kicked Arturo so ferociously she yelled in anger like a wild animal.

Dutch then ran into the alley, seeing Yin beating the shit out of Arturo, despite her being younger and smaller, she was clearly more tough then the fat Colombian was.

Yin panted as she stood up, looking down at the man who killed her parents. She looked at her bloody hands before glancing back at Arturo. She then took back the gun she'd lost before and aimed at him.

Dutch walked over to her, trying to ease her up. "Yin... don't do it."

"He killed them...! He killed them! He must pay for taking my mom and dad away!" Yin almost yelled with a mixture of anger and sadness.

"Yin... killing Arturo won't bring them back. Trust me, you won't have any peace or sense of justice when killing him like this." Dutch stated.

Yin wanted to pull the trigger so badly. But somehow... something was stopping her. She then heard her mother's voice in her head, of when her mother warned her what she was slowly turning into.

"Yin, it's okay to stand up for others and for yourself, but it doesn't mean you have to start looking for trouble. It will cause only more pain and suffering to yourself and the people you care about."

Small sobs came from Yin, now seeing why her mother was protecting her. She never wanted Yin to turn into a murderer. Slowly... Yin lowered her gun and gave it to Dutch, who put it away before she sighed, with Dutch putting his hand on her shoulder. Not saying a word, both began to leave.

Yin didn't want to look back at the man who killed her parents. But as she saw a broken mirror close to one of the trash containers, she saw in shock that Arturo was standing up and took a second gun from his pocket, aiming at them! Within a second and without even thinking twice, Yin quickly grabbed Dutch's revolver and fired at Arturo!

Arturo froze... standing in shock as blood fell from his head. Yin had shot him right between his eyes. He dropped the gun, before falling forward with his down on the ground, dead.

Yin just stood there, with Dutch's gun aiming at Arturo's now dead corpse, where a pool of blood was forming. She stared in shock at what she did. "I... I shot him..."

Dutch, looking first in shock at what happened, was amazed that Yin reacted so quickly and grabbed his gun, saving both their lives. He sighed as he gently took his gun back from Yin. "Yeah... looks like you did."

Yin wanted Arturo dead... wanting to make him pay... But now that she did it... she felt... empty. She stared at the man she killed, the man who was now her very first kill.

Dutch sighed and patted her shoulder. "Let's go." Before Yin gave a small nod while still looking at Arturo's corpse, and slowly left, going away with Dutch.

2 days later

Yin was feeling terrible for a little while, as the feeling of killing her first victim felt like hell to her, making her depressed. Though having avenged her parents, she felt empty for what she'd done.

Dutch blamed himself in his mind for joining Yin to Abrego's headquarters. This was not how he'd hoped would end. But regardless, he was trying to be there for Yin to help her through the feeling of her first actual kill. Though Benny was unsure how to help, as he'd never killed anyone, let alone ever fired a gun, but tried to comfort Yin as well.

The next day, Laura and Revy had returned from their job with Eda and the Rip-Off Church, hearing from Dutch what had happened, which made them furious at Dutch. But with Yin telling that it wasn't Dutch's fault but hers as she was blinded by rage, that she alone was responsible and not Dutch. She begged them for forgiveness, which Revy and Laura did and hugged her.

A few more days had passed, and Yin was even more uncertain if she could stay with the crew of Black Lagoon after she'd now killed Arturo.

That morning, when Yin walked out of her bedroom, she saw Dutch, Benny, Laura and Revy sitting in the living room. The crew of Black Lagoon were sitting there like they were waiting for Yin to join them. "Take a seat, Yin." Dutch said, gesturing to sit at the empty seat in front of them.

Yin looked sad, knowing that she would be sent away anyway, despite being a good help. She knew she had messed up her chances to be with Lagoon Company and become a lawful gunslinger. Slowly, she sat down, not saying a word and just waited for what the others had to say.

Dutch began to say. "So, Yin, it's been a week now you've stayed with us. Though you were a good help, things were... not as smooth as it might have seemed."

Yin sighed before giving a nod. "Yeah. There's no excuse for what I did. But I just want you to know that I'm sorry for all of that. And... I understand you don't want me to stay with you guys."

Revy, Laura and Benny exchanged a raised eyebrow. And Dutch, going along with it, told her "Not to worry, Yin. Me and the others have found for you a 'very nice place' for you to stay. As a matter of fact, Benny here did some double check, right?" he asked Benny with a small smile.

Benny, going along with it too, gave a nod. "Yeah. It's a great place. No bad guys or anything. A perfect place for you."

Yin sighed with disappointment. "I see." So she asked with a bit of curiosity. "So... what's this place actually? Is it a foster family you'll send me?"

Dutch gave a shrug. "You might say that."

Laura nodded and formed a smile while she crossed her legs. "It might not be a foster family on paper, but they're close as a family as you might expect."

"Then... what is it? What place will I be sent to?" Yin asked.

Revy formed a grin and told Dutch. "Yeah, just tell her Dutch."

"Well, alright. If you insist, kid." Dutch said with a little smile. "It's a delivery company who sometimes break the rules to put food on the table." That surprised Yin, while Dutch kept telling her. "They don't ask much from you. You'll have a roof on your head, food on the table and protection from some bad people out there. All you got to do is doing a little work on their boat and doing a few chores, which you'll earn a bit of 'allowance' if you might call it."

Yin began to see what Dutch and the others were saying, seeing they were just messing with her. A smile formed on her face. "You mean... you're offering me a job? That I can stay with you guys?!"

Dutch gave a small chuckle. "Yeah. You can stay with us. Honestly, we could use a little hand around here."

Yin smiled brightly and gave them all a big hug. "Oh, thank you! Thank you thank you thank you! I promise, I won't let you down!"

"I know you won't." Dutch said. Then he said. "As a matter of fact, there was this one package from Benny that he forgot to deliver."

Yin glanced at the packaged box sitting at the corner, being the same one that Benny had in his trunk. Curiously, she asked. "You want me to deliver it, boss?" Before she asked Dutch.

Dutch gave a chuckle. "Nah, not really. Actually, the one who's supposed to get it... is you Yin."

"Me?"

"It was Benny's idea." Dutch said.

Benny nodded. "A little gift for you in case Dutch decides that you could stay with us, which would help you and maybe all of us to kill some time while there are no jobs or anything."

Yin smiled and went over to the packaged box, ripping off the paper. When she'd removed all the paper, she gasped when she saw that the box was having a Playstation 2 console inside, together with 4 video games, being: Prince of Persia; Warrior Within, Mortal Kombat; Deception, Burnout 3; Takedown, and Ratchet & Clank. And There was also a PS2 memory card included with it. "Is that... for me?!" Yin asked with a happy smile, with a few happy tears forming in her eyes.

"All yours." Revy said. "But, I think it would be fair if me or Laura will play with you on it once in a while, right?"

Yin nodded and embraced them all with a big hug. "Thank you, guys!"

"You're welcome, kid." Dutch said. "Well, while me and Benny are going to work on the boat, why don't you play on your new game console together with Laura and Revy?"

Yin nodded and began to unpack her new Playstation 2, attaching it to the tv with Laura and Revy's help, starting it right away and Yin choose to play Mortal Kombat.

A few days later, in the middle of the ocean

Yin, now wearing a different outfit, consisting of a blue top, jeans skirt and black boots. She kept her black leather jacket, feeling it was her signature piece of clothing.

Yin was watching with binoculars on deck, together with Laura, seeing in the distance a few boats coming towards them with speed. "I got a visual, Dutch." Laura told Dutch through her communicator. "Looks like we got some competition."

"You think they're after us so we won't be able to deliver the package to Miss Balalaika?" Yin asked.

"That's the only other explanation." Laura said.

"All right." Dutch said through the communicator. "Yin, you better get back down below. Laura, you and Revy will handle the guns if those guys try anything stupid."

Yin sighed with disappointment. "Ah, man! I was hoping to join the action."

Laura rubbed her hair, ensuring her. "Maybe in time, Yin. But for now, you better go

and do what Dutch tells ya."

"Okay." Yin told Laura and ensured Dutch through her own communicator. "Okay, I'm on my way down, cap."

"Atta girl." Dutch said.

While Yin took the ladder to go back inside the boat, Revy told her as she took the Chinese girl's place. "Hey, why don't you get me some ammo for the sniper rifle?"

Yin nodded. "Okay." And went to where they stored all the weapons and ammo, handing it over to Revy as she positioned her sniper rifle.

Laura told her girlfriend while keeping an eye on the two boats approaching. "Looks like there are like 5 men on each on and..." Then she gave a small gasp as she noticed one holding a rocket launcher. "We have to be careful, guys. One of those dump shits' got an RPG on board."

Yin became a bit worried as she heard that from her communicator while joining Dutch on the bridge. "Shit, a rocket launcher! This is bad!"

Dutch however ensured her. "Relax, kid. Revy and Laura will handle those amateurs."

Revy aimed with her sniper rifle, seeing the guy holding the RPG in hands. "I see him. This is too easy." Before she fired a single shot, killing him. Then 2 more, but as she missed her 4th bullet, the boat of the pirates exploded.

Yin looked with amazement. "Wow."

Revy smirked as she saw that her 4th bullet managed to destroy one of the boats. "Damn right, wow. I managed to hit one of those rockets that dumbass had on deck. Now there's only 1 boat left." Then she aimed with her sniper rifle, killing 2 of them while Laura took her grenade launcher, firing one and destroying the last boat with ease, killing all the pirates.

Yin was impressed by seeing that. "Huh. And I thought we were screwed for a moment there."

"Once in a while you'll come across these amateurs, thinking only of glory and bullets, not using their heads." Dutch stated. "Those kinds of guys never last very long on either the seas down here or in Roanapur."

Yin nodded, remembering how some 'tourists' end up when not knowing about Roanapur at all. "Yeah, I know." Before she then sighed while sitting at a chair next to Dutch

"Either way... I am glad you guys took me in. I may have lost my parents... but I'm lucky to have a new one in return."

Dutch gave a nod. "Glad to hear that, kid." And both gave each other a friendly fist bump.

Then Yin wondered. "But uhm... what about that leader of the Cartel? Abrego? I heard he approached you in a not so friendly way yesterday. Did that have to do with Arturo?"

Dutch gave a shrug. "You might say that. However, he didn't come up to me to look for a fight for killing one of his employees. Either way, he was glad to be rid of that fat Colombian. Abrego stated that... the only reason he kept him around is because he sleeps with his sister."

"Seriously?" Yin asked with some surprise.

Dutch gave a nod. "Yep. Kinda messed up, huh?"

"I'll say." Yin said.

"Don't worry. Abrego knows what will happen if he tries to screw over Lagoon Company again, as he knows that Hotel Moscow will not be so forgiving like last time."

Yin nodded in understanding, having heard from Revy and Laura about the Housemaid, who was the infamous Bloodhound of Florencia.

Then, Yin asked. "Hey, if we get back to port, you guys are gonna hit the Yellow Flag?"

"I guess so." Dutch answered. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know." Yin shrugged. "Can I join you guys?"

That made Dutch chuckle. "I don't think Bao wants to have kids hanging around his bar. But maybe he'll let you, as you're with us." And Yin smiled as she was allowed to join them tonight.

That same evening, at the Yellow Flag.

The crew of the Black Lagoon, now joined with their newest addition to the crew, the 'Ship's Girl' Yin Wong, walked into the Yellow Flag, and went to sit at the bar before Bao greeted them and asked. "The usual, Dutch?"

"Yep." Dutch answered.

While Boa served, Dutch and Benny their drinks, he walked over to Revy and Laura, but was then surprised to see the 13-year old Chinese girl at the bar, which made him frown at her. "We ain't serving kids in this place."

Revy however told him "Relax, Bao. She's with us." Making Boa glanced at Revy for a moment, then at Yin.

Yin assured Bao. "I know I'm too young to drink alcohol."

Bao gave a nod, but said. "Well, I don't serve lemonade here." But then he took out a bottle and poured some into a glass, giving it to Yin "But we do got milk."

Yin gave a shrug. "That's okay." And took a sip from her glass of milk. She then told

Revy and Laura with a grin on her face while Bao poured in some rum for the two lesbian pirates. "But when I'm grown up, I will be looking forward to have one of those drinking contests with you guys."

Both Revy and Laura chuckled, with Revy rubbing her hair. "Well, then you got to really practice hard when that day arrives. Trust me, me and Laura can take a lot."

Yin gave a nod. "Well, then I should remind myself to practice when I'm older. When will I turn 16?" She asked before taking another sip of her milk.

Laura gave the girl a nod. "Yeah. 16 is a good age to start drinking."

And All enjoyed their time at the Yellow Flag, till it was 01:00 PM and Laura and Revy brought Yin back to their apartment as the Chinese Girl was still young and needed her sleep.

That night, Yin was peacefully asleep, dreaming of her newly embraced life as a Ship's Girl of the Black Lagoon, seeing herself grown up at the age of 21, having a smoking hot matured body with long hair tied up in a ponytail and wearing a total badass outfit and having some tattoos on her body, holding 2 similar Cutlass guns like Revy's in her hands. She shot and killed a whole army of bad guys in her dream, letting them know never to mess with Yin Wong, making the girl form a smile in her sleep.

Meanwhile, in another part of Roanapur

A blonde woman named Janet Bai (Jane), together with her operator Theo, were being escorted to a room, blindfolded, where they would continue their work on plates to print fake money, all the while, being watched more closely by the Florida Cartel, as they'd still not delivered what they paid them to do.

There you go, my dear friends, the new bonus chapter is complete. Next will be the Greenback Jane chapters, followed by a very special chapter that me and my dear friend SreznoJIG, have been so eager to work on, which involves Balalaika, Hasumi and Akari, as well as Mei Ogawa. But I won't spoil anything, as I want all of you to be very surprised at what that special chapter has in store. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Be sure to give SreznoJIG some credit as well, as he did help me. Rate and review and I'll see you all next time, my dear friends.
