Chapter 12: Bullet Ballet

With multiple boats on their tail the Lagoon Company had no other choice than to fight. Revy and Rock, two deadly and efficient killers, both armed to the teeth were ready to kill some bad guys.

Revy, with a smile on her face, jumped onto the first boat and killed all the pirates with relative ease. Meanwhile Rock did the same, he was shooting and putting as many holes into as many pirates as he could. Then he jumped onto the next boat, but not before dropping a grenade onto the deck and making sure no one was left alive. Revy was dodging and shooting anything that moved, she shot the and launched a grenade towards the boat next to her.

Eventually they ran out of ammo and Revy resorted to using her cutlasses while Rock uses his AK-47. While Rock was shooting, he noticed some launchers next to him. "Oh fuck yes!" Rock said in excitement. He picked them up and jumped on to the boat Revy was on, they were down to two more boats, he gave an M72 LAW to Revy. "Guess you're not as fucking useless as I thought" said Revy while she took aim.

She fired the rocket and it exploded the boat until there was only one left. Rock used his own LAW rocket and fired it, effectively eliminating their tail. They both later returned to their own boat and relaxed.

The rest of the way went without incident. The Lagoon Company crew returned to Roanopur and got payed for the weapon shipments. With that they received a hefty pay and went back to their office. The rest of the day was spent sitting around and chatting.

"So how was it for your first job with us" asked Dutch. Rock answered, "It was fun, don't think I've ever had fight so early in the day before." "But I gotta admit… you handled those guys without even breaking a sweat, hell you looked like you were enjoying yourself" joked Dutch. "Well then… I guess shooting bad guys and dodging bullets is the only place I feel at home" joked Rock.

Eventually, night time fell and Rock and the crew decided to turn in for the night. Rock walked to his apartment and came home. Only… someone was waiting for him. Rock closed the door and said, "You know I should just shoot you, just for being in here." He turns and sees Revy standing in a doorway. "Alright, why don't you just drop the act already, just who the fuck are you" she asked as she approached Rock. "Some random fucker just pops into town out of the blue, and suddenly you start working with us. So just spill it why are you really here" she said. Rock just looked at her and began to talk, "Alright look, I don't expect you to like me but the least you can do is not question me. I don't care what you want, I don't have to explain shit to you, I'm just here to do work and get paid that's it, now get the fuck out" said Rock. "You know what fuck you, I should just kill you right now motherfucker." Both Revy and Rock were n a standoff both holding their pistols aimed at the other's head.

But neither of them pulled the trigger. After a while Revy just decided to leave. And with that Rock turned in.
