End of the Line
Dutch and Benny arrived at the bridge where Rock was waiting for them. They got out of the car. "So, Rock. Where's Revy?"
Rock pointed at the other end of the bridge. "She's there in that car. See it?" Dutch and Benny nodded.
Rock said, "This guy here, is The General's son. I'm going to go down there and get Revy. Dutch, if this goes south, kill him, and don't stick around for me. Once she's in the car, get out of here. Don't let this asshole go until Revy is in the car! OK?" Dutch nodded.
Rock gave Dutch the shotgun. He stood up and started walking toward the car. The driver of the other car got out and pulled out a woman who was bound with duct tape. It was Revy!
Revy began to run toward Rock. Revy jumped into Rock's arms, giving him a long embrace. Then Revy punched Rock in the stomach. "I can't believe you let me get kidnapped you prick!"
Rock finally got to his feet. "Sorry, you had a gun to my forehead and those guys came by surprise! Listen, Dutch and Benny are down there waiting for you."
Revy asked, "Rock? What is going on? You're not coming, are you?"
Rock looked down, "No, I'm not. Revy, I want you to know, you were the best thing that ever happened to me. I want to thank you for giving me something I never thought I could have again."
Revy was curious, "What?"
Rock said, "Hope. A hope to know how it felt to love somebody more than yourself. I fell in love with you, Revy. You always had me. Always. I may not be the Rock you knew anymore, but now, as my last act as the man I know you love, it's time I said goodbye. You were the only reason why I ever stayed in Roanapur, because I'd rather walk through hell with you than walk through heaven without you. I hope you find peace someday."
Revy had tears running down her face. "Rock, you don't have to do this. You don't."
Rock put his hand on her cheek and said, "Yes, I do. I still have some unfinished business with a certain General. Take this."
Rock pulled out what looked like a detonator. "Rock, what is this for?"
Rock looked at Revy, "There's another guy down there in the car. He's the General's son. When you are in the car and Dutch lets him go, let him get out a little ways and press the button!"
Revy took the detonator, "Won't they kill you?" Rock said, "No, the General wants to kill me himself. That's how I want it, face-to-face. Trust me. If I don't come back, and if there's a heaven, I will put in a good word for you. Goodbye, Revy. I love you. Now go. Get out of here."
Revy nodded, "I love you too, Rock."
Revy ran to Dutch and Benny.
Rock started walking to the other side.
It was time to finish what Assassin X started.
