Boys Night Out…In Hell

Rock found Verchaccio in the YellowFlag Bar. Rock went up to Bao and sat next to Verchaccio. Rock said, "Bao, Bacardi on the rocks."

Verchaccio just continued drinking until he spoke, "You will not get anything out of me. I don't care who you are." Rock just sat there waiting for his drink.

When he finally got it, he made conversation, "So, you know why I'm here?" Verchaccio said nothing until he left. Rock finished his drink and followed him out the door.

Rock followed Verchaccio until he made his move. Rock grabbed Verchaccio and put him in a sleeper hold until he passed out. Rock put him into the car and drove off.

Rock took Verchaccio to a place outside of Roanapur. He put a vest on Verchaccio that was wired with a bomb and duct taped him to a tree.

"Hey, Verchaccio. You finally with me? Do you know what you're wearing?"

Verchaccio's eyes widened. Rock smiled, "That vest is wired. You see this? This is a timer, used as a receiver/transmitter.

This is C-4. You put these and a vest together and you have a bomb. This is very interesting, too. This is a pager watch.

This sends a page to the receiver on the bomb. I'm going to send this page to the bomb that you will receive in 5:00.

So, you now have less than five minutes to tell me what you know about your friend. You tell me everything you know and I will take it off."

Verchaccio was not talking. "4 minutes 55 seconds. 4 minutes 45 seconds. 4 minutes 40 seconds. Still nothing to say?" Verchaccio finally spoke, "What do you want to know?"

Rock smiled, "What kind of business did you have with the Guatemalans?"

Verchaccio looked up at him, "It was a good business arrangement. He wanted someone who knew the city and would pay a hell of a lot of 

money for it." Rock asked, "What kind of business?" Verchaccio said, "Just Drugs. They wanted to expand their business here and said they would pay me if I let them in with me.

They also said they wanted a favor." Rock looked up, "The Freighter. They gave you the freighter to give to Chow. You told him to tell Balalaika about the freighter.

You knew she would tell Dutch to get to me. That's what the ambush was for."

Verchaccio looked at Rock, "Yes, it was all to get to the famous Assassin X, you."

Rock looked at the watch, "2 minutes 15 seconds."

Rock looked back at Verchaccio, "Where is The General?"

Verchaccio looked down and up again, "I don't know. But I know his son is here. He arrived here yesterday. He's staying in the hotel near the dock."

Rock looked at him, "What's the room number?" Verchaccio said, "233." Rock looked at his watch, "OK."

Verchaccio asked, "What happens now?"

Rock said, "Now I leave. I have things to do."

Verchaccio asked, "How about me?" Rock looked at his watch, "Don't care you have 30 seconds."

Rock walked away, leaving Verchaccio with the clock counting down: 5….4….3….2….1…BOOM! The vest exploded, turning the tree into a brushfire.

Rock was now going to see the The General's son.

It's getting personal.
