It was a scorching day in the city of Roanapur, and Revy was complaining about the air con in the office being broken, "Urgh, it's fuckin' hot! Fuck this I'm going to Eda, fuckin' bitch is probably busy enjoying her cool air." As she stormed out of the lagoon office. Meanwhile the phone rang and Rock picked up the phone as he said,

"Yeah? This is the lagoon company, what can we do you for Mr. Chang?"

And Mr. Chang replied on the other end of the phone, "I'd be careful if you are planning a trip into the city today Rock, someone new has rolled into town and I'd like the lagoon company to find out who they are and why they are in my city. Think you can handle that?"

Dutch pulled a can of beer from the fridge before he noticed Rock was on the phone and asked, "Who is it Rock?" and Rock covered his hand on the phone slightly as he looked back at Dutch and answered,

"It's Mr. Chang from the Triad, he says he has a Job for us, he wants us to find a new mercenary who showed up in town recently and find out why they are in Roanapur."

Then Dutch took a sip of his beer and smiled as he said, "Rock, tell Mr. Chang that we will be happy to find this merc." And Rock just nodded his head as he held up the phone and said to Mr. Chang,

"Mr. Chang sir, we will be happy to take the job."

Mr. Chang smiled as he replied on the other end of the phone, "Good, glad to hear it. There's nothing I hate more than a new player wanting to join the game." Before he then hung up, Benny had a concerned look on his face as he said,

"Revy is not gonna like this when she finds out. But how are we gonna find this mercenary? I know Roanapur is a small city, but they could be anywhere."

Meanwhile...


Revy was sitting with Eda inside the church of violence drinking a glass of rum with ice in, before she rested her head on the table as she complained, "Fuck, it's hot!" and Eda who was busy keeping herself cool with a fan and her own glass of rum leaned back in her chair as she said,

"I get it Revy, but the fuck am I supposed to do about it?"

And Revy looked up at Eda from the table grit her teeth as she sneered, "If I knew your air con was busted as well, I wouldn't of bothered comin' here in the first place." Then Eda smirked a little at Revy as she teased,

"How are things with you and Romeo? Have you gotten the goods yet?"

Revy slowly pushed herself up from the table as she glared at Eda before she sneered, "I wouldn't know, I haven't done it with that dumbass, plus I just found out I have to go on a wild goose chase lookin' for this new mercenary that showed up here recently." And Eda scowled at Revy as she replied,

"The fuck do you mean you haven't done it with him yet? It's almost a year Revy! I would have thought by now at least you and romeo would have tried it with each other." Before her expression softened a little as she added, "Word on the street is that this new merc your after is staying at the ramshack inn, if I were you I'd start there."

Revy forced herself up from the chair and started walking towards the doors of the church and stuck her finger up at Eda as she said, "Thanks for the tip bitch, I'm gonna make sure Rock hasn't done anything stupid yet." And as Revy left, Eda leaned back in her chair and blew a puff of smoke as she mumbled,

"You're welcome bitch."


Later...


Rock was busy walking through town and buying a few groceries with his left over money, but little did he know that someone was watching him from afar through the scope of a sniper as a voice said, "Target acquired, all it will take is one shot from my valkyrie and it's lights out for you..." with their finger resting on the trigger.

Revy soon walked into the lagoon office and noticed Rock was missing so she asked Dutch, "Hey, where did Rock go?" and Dutch smiled at Revy as he replied,

"Rock went out for a bit, don't worry he'll be back soon."

And Revy collapsed on the sofa looking up at the ceiling as she said, "I hope you're right Dutch, there's no telling what trouble that dumbass might get himself into otherwise." Suddenly Revy and the others jerked their heads towards the window as they heard a gunshot, before Benny said,

"That didn't sound like an ordinary gun, that sounded more like a sniper shot."

Then Revy looked at Benny as she said, "Think our mystery merc is behind that shot Benny? And where the hell is Rock I thought that dumbass would be back by now!" and Benny stroked his chin as he thought for a moment before he replied,

"That could be our mystery merc, or...it could be someone got on Balalaika's bad side. Either way I don't like this."

Just then mercenary targeting Rock looked through the scope of the sniper to confirm the kill as the voice said, "Target is...alive? how the hell did I miss? Guess this job is gonna take longer than I thought." And reloaded the gun and took aim once more, making sure they had a clear shot this time. Rock was lucky the sniper round had hit the poor soul walking in front of him and he wiped some sweat of his brow as he thought to himself, "That shot sounded close by, am I being targeted? And if so by who? And why? I better get back to the office before something happens."

So Rock decided to walk back to the lagoon office at a little quicker pace than usual, hoping that whoever was targeting him would lose sight of him. A second shot was fired as the bullet came flying towards him and Revy screamed, "ROCK! GET DOWN! THERE'S A FUCKIN' SNIPER!" diving into him and knocking him and the groceries he bought to the ground, the bullet grazing Revy's cheek making her bleed a little.

Revy then took one of her cutlass pistols and started firing back roughly in the direction the bullet came from, Rock looked up at Revy as he said, "Revy, I think I'm being targeted by someone." And Revy continued firing her gun until she emptied the clip and had to reload as she replied without even looking back at Rock,

"Just shut up and keep still, you think I haven't figured that out already dumbass!"

Eda then soon showed up on her bike and pulled out her pistol and smiled at Rock and Revy as she said, "Hey there love birds, I see you found where our mystery guest is hiding then?" and Revy soon stood up from Rock and pulled out her other cutlass pistol while still firing her other one where the sniper was as she barked at Eda,

"Sure took your sweet time bitch! Now are you gonna help or not?"

And Eda also soon joined in firing at the sniper as she looked at Revy and sneered, "Look, how was I supposed to know Romeo was their target? After I help you rescue Romeo, you owe me whore!" soon both Revy and Eda slowly approached the inn where sniper was hiding, inside however the sniper readied a Berretta and aimed it towards the door to their room.

As Eda and Revy made their way inside and slowly crept up the stairs, Eda asked Revy, "Why would they target Romeo for? I figured they would go after some big shot like Chang or Balalaika." And Revy kept moving forward as she answered,

"How should I fuckin' know? I wonder who Rock managed to piss off so badly they would send a sniper after him."

The sniper could hear different rooms being kicked open that was getting louder the closer they got to their room, before Revy eventually kicked open the door to the sniper's room and pointed her cutlass pistols as she entered the room with Eda following closely behind her. Then Eda looked around the room and saw it was empty except for the sniper rifle and Eda perked a brow as she asked Revy, "Think we scared them off?"

And Revy's eyes scanned the room keeping a tight grip on her pistols as she answered, "Shut it, if they were really gone, why leave the gun behind." Before Eda then felt a gun being pressed to her head causing Revy to turn around and aim her pistols at the sniper before the sniper said,

"You got a sharp eye, an assassin never leaves their tools behind."

Revy kept her pistols pointed at the sniper as she barked, "I have to say you're not bad yourself, but too bad this is the end of the road for you." And just as Revy was about to pull the trigger on her pistols, Eda stopped her as she called out,

"Revy wait, don't we need to know why they were targeting Romeo in the first place? I mean we don't even know their name."

And Revy took a deep breath and relaxed her grip on her pistols a little but still kept them trained on the sniper as she sneered, "You better start talking, and if I don't like what I hear I'm gonna put you down where you stand got it?" and the sniper released their hold on Eda as they took a deep breath and replied,

"Alright, my name is Jasmine, and I was contracted to kill Rock but...seeing as I fucked it up, it won't be long before they send another assassin to take my place with orders to finish the job and...to terminate me as well."

Eda then looked at Jasmine with concern in her eyes as she asked, "Who hired you in the first place? And why Romeo of all people? Why not target one of the mob bosses that are here?" and Jasmine took a deep breath and replied,

"Look, I don't know their name, all I know is that I was hired by a company in Japan with the contract to terminate Rock and a lot of money was involved, and in my line of work I learn not to ask many questions."

Revy grit her teeth as she lowered her pistols and said, "Fuck! I bet it's that same company that Rock used to work for before we took him hostage, that dumbass. Hey eagle eye, I guess you get to live another day, you better come with me so you can tell the others what the hell is going on." and Jasmine grit her teeth as she replied,

"Eagle eye? Maybe I should find this Rock person and finish the job I was contracted to!" before her expression softened a little as she added, "Although...I guess I don't really have much of a choice given that someone else could be on their way here to take me out as well as Rock."

And Revy shrugged her shoulders as she snarked, "You got that right, right now we're your only means of survival here, now get movin' before my fingers start to twitch." Jasmine then put her Berretta back in her pocket and moved towards her sniper rifle and strapped it to her back before looking back at Revy and Eda as she replied,

"Lead the way ladies..."
