"Consider that message delivered Mr. Chang." Dutch said over the Lagoon's radio.
"Excellent, we do love prompt work Dutch." Chang replied.
"Our pleasure. Anything else we can do for you?"
"Actually, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to borrow Two-hands." Chang replied
Rock's eyes narrowed at hearing Chang's request.
"Any reason in particular?" Dutch asked.
"Word is the Libyans that are already in Roanapur are looking to make a move on one of our warehouses tonight. As you can imagine, this will not do."
"Plenty of your own guns Chang my man, what do you need mine for?"
"Come now Dutch, we both know Rebecca is the best gun in Roanapur; besides myself of course. I plan on sending her in with my very best assassin to resolve the issue quickly and cleanly, figuratively speaking of course."
Dutch took his finger off the radio and looked to Rock and Revy, "What's it gonna be girl?"
Revy turned to Rock in search of his feelings on the subject, "Rock?"
"It's your call. As long as you're careful I'm fine." Rock replied.
She smiled as she turned back to Dutch, "I'm cool. So who's he sending me in with?"
-
"Of all the fuckin' people Chang could've partnered me with, I get you."
Shenhua sat in the passenger seat beside Revy in the GTO; the knife wielder tending to her makeup as she replied, "Me not happy about arrangement either Twinkie. Because of you I get shot 3 times or maybe you forget?"
"No, I no forget…" Revy mocked with a thick accent, "…don't forget you fuckin' skewered me Chinglish."
Shenhua smiled, "Oh yes, this happy memory! I like very much!"
Revy sighed, "Ugh, fuckin' hell."
The GTO pulled alongside the entrance to the warehouse and Shenhua reached over Revy to punch in a code to unlock the door.
"Fucking watch it would ya?!" Revy growled.
"So sorry." Shenhua replied as she sat back in her seat.
Revy pulled the GTO into the warehouse and cut the lights. Closing the door behind her as she got out, Revy commented, "So what the fuck are we supposed to do?"
"Boss Chang say we play guard dog for tonight."
"GUARD DOG?! I'm supposed to sit around here with you waiting to get fuckin' shot at?!"
"This problem for you?"
"I didn't sign on to spend the fuckin' night with you. All the things I could be doing and having done to me and here I fuckin' am hangin' around in some fuckin' warehouse with your chink ass. It's a good thing Chang is generous or I'd leave your ass here."
"You much too angry. You need calm down. Breathing very important, I show you."
Shenhua closed her eyes and began to perform a display of proper breathing for Revy whom rolled her eyes at the ridiculous sight.

In the Lagoon office, Rock sat back on the couch, sandwich in hand and in mouth. His eyes were locked on the clock across from him. Every second that ticked by feeling like an eternity.
Dutch came into the office seeing Rock hadn't moved since Revy left over three hours ago, "You alright Rock?"
"Huh?"
"You've been sitting there, staring at that clock for 3 hours."
"Has it been that long already?"
Dutch sat opposite Rock and put his legs up on the table, "She's gonna be fine you know."
Rock smiled faintly, "I'm trying to stay positive. The woman Mr. Chang partnered her with; there's a bit of a history and rivalry there. I'm more worried about the two of them getting into it than I am about the Libyans giving them any trouble."
Dutch smiled, "Just relax I'm sure they'll be fine.
-
"Those motherfuckers!" Revy screamed amidst the roar of automatic gunfire.
"Oh, this very good stupid whore, why not you tell everyone where we hiding?"
Revy growled as she reloaded her cutlass, "Why the fuck do they always take cover behind our cars?!"
She clicked the slide locks and poked her head out from the boxes they were hiding behind and let loose a quick round of gunfire. After taking a few members of the assaulting mob out, Revy ducked back behind the boxes and the enemy fire ceased for a moment.
She dropped her empty mags to the floor, "They're reloading; do your stuff Chinglish."
"I do good things to them!" She replied with a wide smile.
She whipped her blades above her as she stood and snapped their tethers with a flick of her wrist putting each of them through two of their assailants. Snapping the tethers again ripped the men she had penetrated in half and brought the blades back to her drenched in blood.
She ducked back down behind the boxes, "I make big mess. You ready Twinkie?"
"Fuckin'-A." Revy stood and laid a few more of them down.
Just as Revy had ducked back down, she saw more men coming in from the front of the warehouse "They just keep coming, is there anything in these crates Chinglish?!"
Shenhua picked the oddest moments to take offense to Revy's badgering, "You should not make fun! My English speaking very good!"
"Fuckin' shit!" Revy growled as she grabbed Shenhua by her collar, "Is there anything we can use in these fuckin' crates or not?!"
"I think boss Chang say he keep weapons here."
Revy raised her right hand and using all the strength she could gather slammed the butt-end of her cutlass into the wooden crate next to her. A couple of grenades and some packing material fell from the crate bringing her to smile.
She peaked out from the behind the boxes and nearly 20 men were now at the warehouse entrance with a nearly equal number already laid out on the ground. Deeming their car a total loss, Revy bit the pin out of the grenade and threw it over and behind her, "Suck on that fuckers!"
The grenade landed just beside the rear of the car and burst seconds later obliterating the car and igniting the gas tank as well.
When the smoke and flames settled, no one was left standing and the car was knocked further back towards the entrance further inhibiting any more men from entering.
"Oh, that very nice, you make big surprise for them."
They stood from behind the box to see a complete mess at the entrance of the warehouse. Bodies and body parts covered the cement floor and their car was flipped onto its roof.
"Wow, those are some potent noisemakers." Revy remarked in awe of the destruction.
"Boss Chang, he no fuck around."
The two assassins walked through the mess to a door on the side of the building. As they crossed through to the outside they could see the last of the men fleeing the scene on the back of a jeep not more than 30 feet away. Unfortunately, as the jeep tore off, one of the men decided to take one last shot.
As Revy saw him raise his gun, she pushed Shenhua out of the way and the bullet struck her left arm.
Her growl grew in intensity before manifesting in a nearly indiscernible roar, "AGH! MOTHERFUCKER!!"
She raised the 93R and dumped the 40-round magazine taking out nearly all of the jeep's occupants. Those who survived the gunfire would perish in the crash that followed as the now driverless jeep slammed into a shipping container tossing its occupants bodies like crash test dummies.
"GRR…Fuck that hurts!" Revy shouted as she pressed her hand to the wound.
Shenhua was completely awestruck by Revy's selfless action, "Why you do that for?"
Revy twisted her left arm and felt around with her right hand; the bullet had exited the back of her arm. She knelt down and ripped a shirt from one of the dead bodies and used it to tie off her wound, "We're even. I almost got you killed and tonight I saved you ass."
"You different now Twinkie."
"Yeah, everyone tells me that now move your fuckin' ass Chinglish, I need to get this sewn up."
Hope I got Shenhua right. I find it a bit difficult to predict her broken english.
