Chapter 13 - Party Crashers
"Rock! Where's my cutlass I'm gonna shoot that fucking smart ass!" Revy's yelling voice came through the door in clear uncensored anger.
"Sounds like she's taking it well" Benny said while staying away from the door in case bullets tore through it. Jane was hiding behind him
Dutch then knocked on the door and called in "Rock everything ok in there?"
There was a sound of something being thrown against the door causing them to duck then the door opened and Rock's face appeared with a somewhat strained smile on it.
"Hey Dutch I think I'm making some progress tell Chang to send her down" he said calmly as they heard Revy make another angry outburst and the sound of a gun being cocked reached their ears. Rock then disappeared back inside the room.
Dutch Benny and Jane then headed for the elevator they were on the second last floor which afforded them a lot of privacy, especially for someone of Revy's rather strong temper. Chang and Balalaika were on the top floor along with some other associates.
They had arrived in New York yesterday evening and had checked into the very nice hotel, it was the Mandarin Oriental which turned out to be an old favourite of Chang's and Revy's who had heard a lot about it while living on the streets. Chang had already booked the last two floors of for them to stay at.
After that had arrived and gotten settled Chang went into detail of his plan for the evening. He was going to be attending a party at the Wyndham as a representative of the triads face company to talk shop with the other suits who would hopefully be able to give them some credible information on the location of Yuri and his still unknown Japanese sponsor. Balalaika at first wanted to join him but he reminded her that even these boot licking cheque singing pawns would be able to make her in the crowd.
It was then assumed he would be going with his first lieutenant and best assassin Shenhua. However she was not the best choice due to her difficulty in speaking English and he needed someone whose appearance would be able to keep the wits of the other businessmen distracted while he extracted information.
"For that I was thinking you would accompany me to this party Revy" Chang with a tone that said he was half amused and half deathly afraid.
"What?" Rock said shocked.
"What?!" Revy nearly shouted in a similar tone as her man standing next to her.
"Oh shit" Dutch mumbled as he knew this was not going to be pretty.
"It's nothing to worry about Revy we'll only be there for a few hours" Chang said reassuring her
"Fucking great now I'm the fucking show piece for a bunch of fat ugly cock suckers to start at while you play private eye" Revy grumbled.
"Mr. Chang are there any others going with you?" Rock asked. Though he spoke in a calm voice many realized he was speaking from his Revy side as he was not overly happy with Revy going to some place to be stared at and possible pawed at by other men but the fact that she would obviously not be able to go in armed to protect herself.
Chang picked up on what he really meant "as a matter of fact I was gonna to ask you to come along as well Rock. I was planning on bring a body guard for myself but can think of no one better as Ms. Revy's bodyguard" he said with a grin.
Revy and Rock both seemed to calm down slightly as that. Revy would never admit it openly but knowing Rock was nearby and would be able to jump in if things go ugly made her feel better about going through with this.
"Ah fuck it. Alright I'll do it" she said.
Chang nodded and then said she could head back down to her room to get changed.
At first the impact of the phrase get changed did not matter much to Revy until she and Rock got to their room and saw the dress. It was a red Cheongsam that was modified slightly for specifics of Revy's job. The dress had a long slit up the side that would certainly show plenty of leg and it had another open slit at the front shaped like a diamond in the center of the chest area to give a nice display of Revy's twins, not the guns though, and it was held up by a clasp at the back of the neck. Chang had also though ahead about Revy's tattoo and had added ad white jacket similar to the one Shenhua wore this one however was made of silk.
At the sight of the dress both Revy immediately lost her temper as she could not believe she was going to parade around in a basic hooker outfit "like that god damn chinglish bitch" as she shouted.
It was at this point that Rock had finished telling Dutch to have Chang send down Shenhua so she could help Revy get ready, he knew she was not overly proficient add this kind of thing.
"Rock if Dutch, Benny, or any of those assholes try to get a fucking picture of me in this fucking dress you promise me you will shoot them or at least the fucking camera got it!" she said in a not quite yelling but still irritated tone.
"Deal" Rock said.
There was a knock at the door and someone called "Twinkie, you here? Boss Chang send me to help you get all ready for party tonight yes" said a thickly Asian accented voice in broken English.
"Ya let's just hurry the fuck up and get this over with Chinglish" Revy called back.
The door open and in strolled Shenhua. She was a tall lithe woman, she had long black hair which she wore in a long ponytail and had one large bang at the front slightly covering one side of her face. She wore her favoured outfit. A red Qipao dress, with a white waist length jacket. As usual she was touching up her make up as she strolled into the room. She was not wearing her throwing knifes at her thighs, but Rock was certain she had her Kukri knives on her somewhere.
"Oh and Dumbass here to I no see you in long while" she said using her nickname for Rock when they had first met, during his rescue.
"Nice to see you two Shenhua" Rock deadpanned as he turned to leave the room to give them some privacy.
"I'll be right outside" he said looking at Revy over his shoulder.
Revy gave him a quick smile and Shenhua was surprised by what she saw.
"Now this interesting. You and Dumbass together now yes? I owe now money to Chang on bed I lose" she said as she walked forward hiding a grin.
"Oh fuck off" Revy said.
"Him you good together very true. I hear others say most fucked up thing they see but working still" she said jokingly.
Revy growled in annoyance as she knew Rock had taken her cutlasses away. In fact she had asked him to in case she did something stupid. However now she wished she could do one stupid thing to make herself feel better.
Revy then stood up from the bed and walked to where her dress was hanging "alright how do I do this?" she asked just accepting defeat.
Out in the hall Rock was leaning against a wall with a small table next to him. He was giving his guns a quick wipe down, he figured he might as well be prepared for anything this evening though he hoped to avoid violence when his girl was not wearing her "boys".
He slipped his own guns inside the tuxedo he would be wearing to the party. If everything went alright his job would be simple, he would walk Chang and Revy to the hall where the party was being held then he would have to wait in a nearby room with all the other "attendants" until the boss was ready to leave. Rock had at first asked for an earpiece to keep in touch but Chang had said they couldn't risk it.
"Hey Rock, Revy shoot anyone yet?" a voice called from down the hall.
Rock turned to see Dutch walking towards him wearing the clothes he had worn in Japan.
Rock smiled then opened his jacket to show he was wearing Revy's cutlasses on side holsters. Revy had agreed, after a lot of negotiation, to relinquish her guns for the evening but she made rock swear not to let them out of his sight so he had borrowed a couple holsters from the triads and was now walking around essentially with four guns, if things turned ugly he would be able to give them to Revy but he had only two extra clips for his guns since he they couldn't risk anything more.
"Damn I never thought I would see this kind of day" Dutch said jokingly
"Oh what detail about this day are your talking about specifically, me wearing four guns, Revy in a dress, or me as the bodyguard?" Rock asked.
Dutch laughed "well those are all good options but I would say the little errand you had me run today tops them all" he said as he passed something to Rock.
Rock took it and slipped it into his pocket with a smile "Think she'll kill me if I ask?" Rock asked casually.
Dutch light up a smoke "hard to say, I think she'll be happy Rock I just hope this doesn't mean you'll be quitting I don't know anyone else who can multiply past the times two tables other the you" he said giving Rock and friendly pat on the shoulder.
"Are you kidding where else could I find a nicer job then Lagoon" Rock said going with the joke.
It was then Benny and Jane arrived both of them holding cameras and waiting. Chang and Balalaika then arrived after getting off the elevator, even Chang was holding a camera. He was also wearing a slightly finer version of his business suit for the party.
When they all came to stand in front of the door Rock sighed then pulled on one of his guns and pulled back the slide "sorry everyone no pictures, I promised Revy" he said in a mock warning.
Chang made a face then tossed his into the trash bin next to him. Balalaika chuckled as Benny and Jane also tossed their own camera's away as well as they were not sure what to fear, either Rock firing or Revy's mood if they got a picture.
Just then the door opened and Shenhua walked out with none apparent injuries surprisingly enough. She didn't say anything just took the 5 grand from Chang and headed for the elevator.
"Rock is anyone holding cameras?" Revy called out from inside.
Rock snorted "nope were good Revy I got em covered" he said staring intently at the door.
Revy then walked out "alright let me make this fucking clear, anyone who's eyes get's lower then my neck other then Rock is gonna get a bullet between their fucking eyes" she said to the mostly stunned crowd.
The dress seemed to be a tight fit but in fact it fit her curves quite nicely. The white jacket did its job to hide her tattoo quite nicely and she was wearing her hair down and loose which suited the outfit perfectly. She did not have much make up on, is was easy to guess why, but Revy was the kind of girl who's allure did not need make up at least from Rock's point of view. He breasts could be seen partially from the opening in the center of her chest, and the slit did certainly show of a lot of well toned leg.
Revy made a face at seeing everyone in the hall "why the fuck are you all here?" she asked annoyed.
"You honestly didn't think we would miss this sight now did you two-hands. Do try to have fun now" she said as she headed off back to her room.
Chang then turned as well "I'll be waiting downstairs in the limo try not to take to long wouldn't want to miss our date" he said jokingly and ran into the elevator before Revy and even Rock could react.
Dutch, Benny, and Jane then made good on their own getaway as they did not want face Revy's wrath.
That left just Rock standing in front of her with a star struck look on his face. Revy raised an eyebrow then walked up and flicked him on the forehead to snap him out of it. She then seemed to get nervous as he was the only person here, or anywhere for that matter, whose opinion she cared about concerning how she looked.
"Alright lets here it, be fucking honest I look like a complete fucking idiot" she said.
Rock then surprised her by giving a warm smile and walking up to put his arms around her and kiss her. Revy was surprised then just put her arms around his neck and returned the favour.
Rock however managed to remember they did have a job to do tonight so before anything that wasn't fixable happened.
"You look amazing Revy" he said sincerely.
Revy turned a little red "ah fuck why did ya say that Rock I got nothing here" she said.
Rock chuckled "maybe we can keep that when were done go out on a real date" Rock suggested.
Revy snorted "maybe, we better get going I wanna get this fucking thing over with I'm already pissed about all those fuckers that are gonna be staring at me like some fucking show prize" she said.
She turned to go but Rock held her hand and stopped.
"Revy wait there was..um something I wanted to..well" he said stammering a little on what he was trying to say
Revy was confused, Rock was not normally like this, and whatever it was making him get so worked up must be big.
"Come on Rock stop beating around the fucking bush what's up?" she asked walking up to him and looking up at him.
Rock took a deep breath and then reached into his pocket. He then took Revy's hand and placed a ring in it. It wasn't very ostentatious or anything like that, it was a simple silver band with a few gems on it, on closer inspection it turned out there was a ruby, sapphire, and emerald laid in tougher.
Revy could not believe what she was holding, turning the ring slightly she noticed an engraving on the inside band. Moving almost mechanically she turned it to read the inside which said, Revy & Rock, love always.
Revy looked up with a look of surprised shock to see Rock grinning like an idiot with about ten different shades of red on his face.
"Rock is this, what I fucking think it is? Did you just pop the question on me?" she asked after a few minutes of stunned silence.
Rock seemed to have trouble forming words then took a deep breath "Yes that's what it is Revy. I gotta admit I was surprised myself when I made the decisions but all I know is I love you and want to be with you as long as we can be together" he said with a warm smile.
Revy turned her face to the floor to hide her expressions. She was not sure what she was feeling, Rock just asked me to marry him, is he fucking out of his mind, wait why do I feel so happy about this? Sure I really care about and being with him in bed is out of this world but do I love him and want to marry him? I gotta fucking think this through, was her train of thought before she could look up at him again, she felt a slight pang of regret when she saw his eyes, there was love and a slight fear in them depending on her answer.
"Rock I don't know what the fuck to say here I mean holy shit this is the kindest thing you've done for me I just can't believe it. Do you really want me as your fucking wife?" she asked.
Rock could have burst out laughing, even when it was just them she never stopped being the Revy he loved, "yes I do Revy. I know this probably not the best time and I know your still finding your feelings and all but there's no rush if you want you can just wear it as a present for now" he suggested.
Revy looked down at the ring again and back up at Rock then gave him a grin "ah what the fuck" she said putting the ring on and really enjoying how it felt on her finger.
"So is that a yes?" Rock asked slightly surprised.
Revy then walked up to, him slowly and got very close. She slowly sensually put her arms around his neck and brought her lips to within inches of his.
"Fucking A" she whispered in a sultry teasing voice then pulled back from him leaving Rock with a flustered look on his face.
"I was hoping this might help cheer you up since I know this kinda job wasn't sitting well with you" Rock said as they turned to walk to the elevator.
Revy hid a smile "well your fucking did it Rock. I'm still kinda stunned here but this does mean a lot to me. Just fucking hope this doesn't take long since I was about ready to drag your ass back into out room to celebrate" she complained.
Rock grinned hungrily then put his arm around her waist as they got into the elevator and hit the lobby button.
"Does anyone else know?" Revy asked.
Rock smiled. He knew she asked for good reason, just in her own way, "I asked Dutch to pick up the ring for me but I made him promise not to say a thing till we were ready" he said as he made some minor adjustments to his rather fancy black suit and dark blue dress shirt the he wore along with a classy pair or black dress pants, a decent outfit for a well paid bodyguard.
Revy eyed Rock up and down "damn baby you looking good in that suit better be ready for tonight" she said leaning into him
Rock chuckled at her hint "wouldn't miss it for the world" he said with a hunger like tone that made Revy very turned on.
They were half way down to the lobby when Rock spoke "be careful tonight Revy" he said in an earnest voice.
Revy looked at him and nodded in understanding "I will Rock, I know you'll have my back out there partner" she said simply.
They both knew that this job had a lot of risks to it. Neither Chang nor Revy was able to carry any guns in with them and if they brought more bodyguards then just Rock that would raise suspicion. Despite that if anything was to happen it would be difficult for Rock to get to Revy quickly due to their minimal ability to reach each other during the party. Rock knew he would not let a single person hurt the woman he wanted to be his wife someday.
"If anything happens I'll be sure to get your boys to you" Rock said with a smile.
"You always treat me so fucking good" Revy said laughing as the doors opened.
Chang stood nearby along with many other guests and staff members going about business as usual.
Rock, with great reluctance, moved away from Revy to assume the stance of bodyguard and not boyfriend. Revy also frowned at the space as she would have preferred going to this party with Rock. The thought that she was acting as Chang's date and going to be a set of nice tits, and a tight ass for the businessmen to stare at while Chang did his thing made her skin crawl.
"Ready to go?" Chang asked as they approached. His trained eyes did notice the ring his best student was now wearing, I owe Balalaika dinner now it seems she owes me one who would have thought Rock really is that crazy.
"Lets just this shit over with" Revy complained as she took a small purse she was meant to carry for appearances sake.
Chang nodded then took his place next to Revy, he did not risk taking her arm or hand for fear of not just Revy but their "guard" after the little secret he had just learned.
They walked out onto the street and into the limo that was waiting for them. Rock was able to hold open the door and help Revy inside and share a brief look and smile.
The ride to the Wyndham was relatively quite as both Rock and Revy were thinking about the change in their relationship. Their thoughts were fairly similar as now they thought each thought of the other as a fiancée. Rock was happy and excited and the idea, and so was Revy she also felt a pang of rare fear as this was letting Rock get a step closer then anyone had ever gotten in her life but Rock had not disappointed her yet and despite the suddenness of it she figured in their line of work is wasn't a bad idea, Eda is gonna fucking go ballistic when she hears this, she thought dismally as she took Rock's hand while they were in mid drive.
.
Chang noted these signs and was genuinely pleased by them. He had not lied when he said he held a soft spot for Revy. She was like the niece he never had. He did however fear for them as like anyone in this line of work who held someone in their heart someday a big obstacle came along and could often be the thing that destroys something as nice as two people trying to have a little happiness in this sea of shit, blood, and bullets they were all trying to stay afloat on.
Twenty minutes later they arrived. Chang got out first and as Rock was edging to the door Revy grabbed him and pulled him in for a quick, but heavy kiss.
When she let him go she grinned at the dazed look on his face "now that was great, but what was that for?" he asked regaining his composure slowly.
"For being you ya dumbass. That was also an appetizer wait till tonight for the main course, I'm really gonna be in need of a good lay tonight baby" she whispered into his ear before getting out of the car.
Rock smiled happily thinking that maybe for once they might get an un-fucked up evening.
**
Across the street two rather unnoticeable black vans were parked. The windows were tinted so you could not see who, if anyone was inside.
"Sir that's them" a man wearing parts of a soldiers outfit in the forward van said into a radio attached to his belt.
In the second van another man looked out a window and without the need of binoculars picked out his target. He smiled an in almost evil but hungry way "yes I see her my, my Rebecca don't you look lovely this evening "he said as he turned the person sitting next to him "now then my dear this will be your chance to take part in this rescue you told me about and I must thank you for your assistance in this matter of helping me get re aquatinted with my old friend" he said in a cheerful yet cold voice.
The woman sitting next to him did not seem fazed as she was partially off in her own world "I understand I will make sure he's not around" she said getting out of the vehicle and walking across the street.
The man in the van watched her go with an obscene smile "soon sweet Rebecca soon" he said.
**
"Ugh fuck how much longer do we gotta put up with this bullshit" Revy groaned quietly as she and Chang were walking from one group of talking business men to another.
She had been walking around the banquet hall with Chang for about two hours now and was going crazy. She wasn't able to have a smoke or any good booze since she needed to keep up the part she was playing. She also confirmed what she had long suspected, she was not a high heels girl they were killing her feet.
They were inside the Banquet hall of the Wyndham hotel. They had left Rock along with other drivers, guards, and other associates in a room just outside. They were not meant to mingle with the other "sophisticated" members of this crowd. There was a couple cameras setup in that room supposedly for bodyguards to keep an eye on their clients but none of them were looking most were drunk by now since the camera's were more for show then security.
Chang then put a hand on her arm "Sorry Revy time for another round we should be done here in another hour or two" he said as they approached a small group or wealthy and well fed businessmen.
At once Revy felt eyes crawling over her chest and legs like bugs. She had done similar kinds of jobs like these before but now this kinda of thing just disgusted her and made her wish she had her cutlass to do a little pistol whipping. She remembered what she had said to Rock as they got out of the limo and it was true, she was gonna need some of his skilled attention tonight. It was one thing that helped making putting up with this shit a little easier. Sometimes she was surprised by her feelings for him, she had never thought herself capable of thing like this but low and behold here she was. She had just been proposed to and said yes to marry Rock and could still not say three little words yet, it's not that I don't love him I just can't seem to find the words, he's been so good to me for so long now and now he wants to marry me, were her thought as she put on a fake smile and half listened to Chang talking while the older fat guys stared at her rack.
"Excuse me Miss Rebecca you have a message" someone next to her said.
Revy turned and saw a waiter holding a folded piece of paper in his white gloved hand. She took and opened it reading the message meet me in the lobby, it said.
"Must be from Rock maybe something happened, I'll be right back" she said in a much more cheerful tone. It was clear she was happy that Rock was getting her out of here.
Chang was going to protest but felt it was better and safer, to let her go see what was up.
**
"Excuse me Mr. Rock you have a message" a waiter said stepping into the "guards" room as it was termed.
Rock, who had been watching the security camera, raised an eyebrow as he took the message it was a folded piece of paper, he opened it and read I'm on the second floor balcony meet me there, Revy.
"Wonder what's up" Rock said to himself as he nodded to the waiter then headed out the door. To his left was the door to the banquet hall, to his right wad the lobby and off to the side of that doorway was a stairwell. He walked up the stairs and reached the landing to the second floor a few seconds later.
He turned right at the door and saw the sign pointing to the balcony. He found the balcony deserted except for one figure standing near the far side from where he stood. Rock smiled as he got closer " I got your message Revy. I'm guessing you needed to get out of there" he said calling to her.
The woman he was looking at them turned and he gasped and his eyes widened in shock "you!" he said.
**
"Rock? Where the fuck are you" Revy said as she looked around the deserted lobby.
As she was looking around she saw someone standing in the corner to her left it was dark so she could not make out his face. She walked forward thinking it was Rock waiting in an out of sight place for a little warm up session.
Just as she was about five feet away a voice spoke "Lovely dress my sweet little Rebecca" a cold voice said. The man then stepped into the light.
It was Colonel Will Buffalo.
Before she could even react two men grabbed her arms and pinned them to her back and due to the angle she could not aim a decent kick to break their strong grips. Revy struggled against them shouting curses and death threats.
"Now, now no need to shout it's not lady like. It's so good to finally see you again Rebecca you've grown into quite the woman" Buffalo said as he stood closer his face inches from Revy.
Revy stiffened as she saw a look in his eyes, hate, lust, and joy. She knew what he meant by those words. Just then she felt his hand suddenly grope her breast through the thin material of the dress and his other hands made a slow drag at the slit by her leg. The look on his face was one of pure sadistic joy.
"Don't you fucking touch me you cock sucking fucker!" she yelled snapping at him just barely missing a chance to bite. She felt nothing but revulsion at the act of another man touching her, especially one as sick and twisted as this man.
Buffalo smiled darkly at her reaction, this was what he wanted, and then his right hand darted in and grabbed her jaw between his thumb and forefinger. He gently applied pressure to keep her from shouting or biting down without hurting herself in the process, "no need to be so rude to an old friend" he said in whispering voice as though he was talking to a lover. He leaned down as though to kiss her.
Revy felt horror creeping into her as he got closer. She was about to close eyes rather then face this when he shifted his approach and she felt his tongue slide along her cheek the act made her shiver with disgust.
When he let go of her face she spoke "I'm gonna fucking kill you. You're gonna die slowly and painfully for this you fucking prick" she yelled.
She then was able to slide her hand free and aimed a punch. However Buffalo caught her by the wrist in mid swing. He then noticed something.
"Oh what's this? My sweet little Rebecca has a ring on her finger, and it's an engagement ring to boot. How sweet did you little pet ask you to marry him? Well no matter I think we can get rid of this" he said as he started to slide the ring off her finger.
Revy let out an angry snarl and with force that surprised the two men holding her she broke her wrist out of his grip. She was not going to let anyone touch the ring Rock had given her, and live.
Buffalo's smile then faded slightly and with surprising speed he punched Revy in the gut. Revy felt the wind get knocked out of her and would have fallen but the two men holding her kept her on her feet as she struggled to breath. While she was distracted Buffalo slipped the ring off her unclenched hand and tossed it away.
Revy tried to follow where her ring went but it was already out of her line of vision
"There was no need to be that way Rebecca if you cooperate this will go much smoother and less painful, well it's gonna hurt for the first few minutes then you'll enjoy it" he said his words laced with a tone of sadistic pleasure.
Revy's eyes widened as she realised what he meant "If you fucking touch me -" she began but was cut off by a hard back handed smack top the face then left her seeing stars. She also felt someone slip a thick piece of cloth over her mouth to keep her from talking now.
"I suggest you calm down Rebecca. I have been waiting for this for sometime now. Once we get back we'll conduct business first, I have some questions for you that Yuri would like answered. After that I plan on making you my pet sweet Rebecca it's been too long since I enjoyed your company but this temperamental side of you has to go. I suggest you play nice and you'll only have to please me, but if you resist and get me angry I'm gonna let every one of my men have a taste for their hard work." he said in a quite tone.
Revy felt anger, and fear building within her at his words. She tried to struggle again with no chance of success, Rock, she said in her head wishing he was here.
Buffalo seemed to guess her thoughts and smiled darkly.
"I imagine you are thinking about your little pet. He's not coming my dear Rebecca and old friend of his came to me and said she could get him away from you so I accept the young ladies offer. She was quite clear on her anger for you, it was quite amusing to see Miss Shino ask for your death" he said.
At the mention of her name all the anger in Revy seemed to drain. She felt cold and fearful. She began to think that Rock was going to abandon her like everyone in her life had done, no Rock won't fucking leave me he loves me I'm not gonna listen to this fucker lie to me, she told herself it was the voice of the side that only Rock ever saw.
She resumed her look of killer rage fixed on Buffalo as he shrugged "a shame I had hope to keep you to myself but we still have time" he said as he headed towards the back door with the two man dragging Revy kicking and thrashing.
**
"Shino what the hell are you doing here?" Rock asked in shock at the sight of seeing her.
"Rokuro I've come here to save you" she said in a cheerful voice. She was wearing jeans and a red zipped up coat.
"What the hell are you talking about and how did you know I was here in New York?" Rock asked now getting suspicious that this might be some kind of trap.
"That doesn't matter. Don't you see this was meant to be I am here now and we can go back to Japan and get back to our lives you belong in your place next to me" She said in a voice that told Rock she really believed the load of bullshit she was spewing.
"Shino I told you before my place is with my friends and the woman I want to be with is Revy I love her" Rock said in a patient but strained voice as he was trying to still figure out what was going on here.
At the mention of Revy's name Shino seemed to lose her composure "that bitch is no longer in your life Rokuro her hold on you is gone now Colonel Buffalo said she will no longer trouble us" she said talking quickly then covered her mouth as she realized she had said to much.
Rock's eyes narrowed "how do you know his name" he said and slow dangerous tone.
Shino broke under that look "I told him what was wrong and he said if I could get you and her apart tonight at this party he would take her away and you and I could be together like we should be" she said in an almost fanatical tone.
Rock's anger took control "What the fuck have you done!? That guy is dangerous he's gonna hurt Revy where the hell is she?" Rock yelled. His anger was not as apparent like Revy's it was the more cold and focused type but just as intimidating.
Shino looked confused, her eyes seemed glazed over as she spoke "What are you saying Rokuro that woman doesn't matter anymore don't you see, we can be together now" her voice said that she was having some trouble keeping her grip on reality.
"I can't make this any clearer to Shino I don't love you, I never did. The woman I love now is Revy and you have to tell me where she is before she gets hurt" Rock said a much more controlled but still angered tone.
Shino then gave a cry of anger and frustration and d to Rock's amazement she pulled a gun out on him. It was a M1911 pistol. She aimed it at rock but it was clear that the gun felt foreign to her from the way she held it and from how she had trouble keeping it level.
Rock was at first on alert at the sight of the gun and his hands were itching to reach for his 92's but he noticed that Shino had made the same mistake as Kageyama. The safety on her gun was on.
"Why Rokuro? Why her and not me, I deserve better then this and you keep rejecting me. Well now you've made the hard decision I know that woman is gonna be dead soon enough or broken down as the Colonel put it" she said as tears fell from her eyes in a pathetic display of sadness.
That was the final straw from Rock. He closed the distance to her with surprising speed and pulled the gun from her hands. His movements caused her to pull on the trigger but it was pointless. Rock took the gun and then pulled her by her coat to make sure she was looking at him.
"You don't know what you've done Shino. The only reason I haven't pulled my own guns on you right now is that I need to know where Revy is and because you just a stupid fucking bystander in this. Now tell me where the fuck is Revy!" he said heatedly.
Shino looked at him in fear. Rock had now gone to his "Revy side".
"I don't know all I heard him say was-" she was cut off by a phone in her coat pocket starting to ring.
"It's him" she said taking her phone out.
Rock eyed the phone then took it. Shino tried to resist but Rock shoved her away causing her to fall down.
He flipped the phone open and put it to his ear.
Hello there Rock so nice to hear from you I hope that little gunshot to your shoulder is doing well.
"Where is she?" Rock said coldly.
I'm afraid sweet little Rebecca is a bit tied up right now, literally. I suppose I can let you say hello though since this will be the last chance you have.
Rock heard some muffled movements and then he heard Revy speak.
Rock? Is that you?
"Revy it's me are you ok?" Rock asked glad to hear her voice.
I'm ok Rock I have to tell you something, I love you, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I do I fucking love you. She spoke as though this was her last chance to confess before something bad happened.
Rock felt his heart twist in his chest as the sorrow he heard in her voice "I love you too Revy I'll come get you I promise" he said as he heard the phone move again
Now that was very touching Rock I'm amazed you got her to say that. A shame though since she is now my pet.
"You better not fucking touch her or I swear to god I will make you fucking pay in blood ten times over" he said his calm voice boiling with rage.
Good luck. You may wish to speak with Miss Shino she does know where I am taking sweet Rebecca to for out little honeymoon.
The line then went dead.
Rock was breathing hard keeping his anger under control. Then grabbed Shino by the arm and pulled her to her feet "Where did you send Revy?" he asked assuming it was her who sent them both notes.
"The lobby" she said fearfully.
Rock then tuned and practically ran toward the lobby keeping and tight grip on Shino's arm. If it was true he needed to keep her around.
They reached the lobby soon enough but it was deserted. Rock then noticed something catching the light in the corner. He walked over and bent down to pick up something.
It was the ring he had given to Revy. He realised Buffalo must have taken it off and left it for him to find.
His hand closed over it so tightly the smooth edges of it bit into his palm painfully. He breathing was faster and his pulse was racing it was hard not to suddenly shout out in anger and begin hunting for the colonel like a raging animal, he would not give the bastard the satisfaction. He stood up then slipped then ring into his pocket, I'll give it back to you soon Revy I promise, he said to himself.
He heard foot steppes behind him and his hands moved with surprising reflexes as he spun on his heel and drew both his guns and levelled them right at Chang.
Chang seemed surprised by his rather hostile actions "Easy Rock I just came to see if you knew what was keeping Revy?" he asked then noticed the woman standing next to him as not Revy. He also saw the look in Rock's eyes that told him the rest of the story, his eyes were just like Revy's but there was a sliver of Rock still in control to keep him from starting a bloodbath.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I'll explain later we need to get back now!" Rock snapped.
He then turned and took Shino by the arm again, "your coming with us" he said in a cold and sharp tone.
He turned and headed towards the front door to their waiting limo.
Chang watched him go with a troubled look, "Let's hope the young lady talks Rock is definitely not going to be in a compromising mood tonight" he said grimly as he followed them out.
A/N: Sorry that took a little while to get done. I have been very busy at work and didn't have the time and energy to finish up this chapter. Hope you all enjoy seeing Rock going Revy mode. Don't worry he's it's not permanent but when his girl is concerned let just say his friends better stay out of his way. I am also letting you all know next chapter will the curtains for the Colonel. I look forward to your reviews. Enjoy, Stay Tuned : ).
