Chapter 17: A Maid to Kill For
The Lagoon torpedo boat was out and speeding through the water. Dutch was manning the controls, Benny was in his radar room, and Rock was checking their payment logs. Meanwhile Revy was in the hold sitting in a chair. We see a blonde-haired boy sitting on the floor with an angry expression. "Y'know I don't care if you don't wanna eat but yo-" Revy was stopped mid-sentence by due to a drink cup hitting her in the face. At the same time, Rock walked in and thinking quickly he proceeded to drag Revy out of the hold when she was pulling out her guns.
"Calm down Revy, just chill the fuck out I'll watch him" said Rock while closing the door. Revy was steaming, "God dammit, the sooner we get this brat outta here the better." Rock walked in and was quickly met by a pizza flying towards him but dodged it.
He sat down next to the boy and struck up a conversation. The boy was Garcia Lovelace the heir to the Lovelace Family in Venezuela. Rock acted polite and soon him and Garcia were on good terms.
Nightfall came upon the crew when they made it to the harbor. The group and child got into their car and drove off. They were to hand the boy over to the Columbian Cartel who wanted a ransom on him. But before that they passed by the Yellow Flag for a drink.
A little while later, when the entered the bar, they saw something never seen in Roanopur… a maid. She was sitting at the bar and asked about the local cartel. Garcia was hiding behind Rock and whispered "That's Roberta." But Rock was too deep in thought to hear, 'that maid… she looks… familiar' thought Rock. It was then that the cartel walked in and were asking about a maid. When Roberta asked for Garcia and was met with the disappointment that they didn't have him she acted. "Then by I should assume that the young master is dead, very well… you will meet the same fate" said Roberta while steadily lifting and aiming her umbrella and she pulled the trigger.
Suddenly it was an all-out gun battle. The Lagoon Company quickly ducked behind the bar and pulled out their weapons. The maid was just shooting everybody from the cartel with her hidden umbrella shotgun. She then proceeded to fire from a hidden machine gun in her suitcase.
It was then that it donned on Rock, he knew who she was! Revy proceeded to jump out of cover, guns in hand, and started shooting. Garcia kept yelling, "No, don't hurt Roberta." This drew the maid's attention and saw Garcia. She suddenly fired a grenade from her case which hit Revy sending her flying back.
"Revy!" screamed both Dutch and Rock. Benny came up to her and checked her pulse. "She's alive but she has a massive concussion" said Benny. And with that the Lagoon Company proceeded to go out the back door and into their car. "Benny, get the fucking car started now!" demanded Rock and with that they were off. Rock was still trying to wake up Revy and said, "Benny just keep driving towards the Lagoon, whatever you do don't stop f-" Rock was cut-off and the group saw the maid chasing them in a car.
Dutch was shooting at her to slow her down but she pulled up alongside their car and grabbed Dutch's arm. Dutch was fighting to get out of her grip until Rock punched Roberta, stunning her and causing her to let go. The maid quickly looked at her attacker and was hit with a surprise to see Rock, "La Serpiente Sin Lengua" exclaimed Roberta.
