Rock then looked in the business phone book and found factories that produced the other stuff to make the armour. He then drove to the factories and bought what was needed.

When Rock came back with every thing for the armour secured to the roof of the Mustang. Dutch was already in the garage there was a crate of sheet metal circles with holes next to the trailer their manual pallet mover was still underneath the crate. There were also bulletproof windscreens and windows with the modifications Dutch wanted. Rock unloaded the stuff. Since now they were waiting for parts to be made Rock made breakfast for everyone. Then he and Revy did more practice at the training grounds.

After a month Rock was now stronger faster and better than he ever was, after training in even heavier weights.

Revy could now easily sense energy and could shoot anything that moved with her rifle. She could now shoot the two clay targets easily with 2 bullets. Dutch's 1969 Ford Falcon 351 GT tank was now wider than it used to be it still had the same colour scheme of dark blue with black racing stripes. The car was now fitted with bullet proof glass modified the way they wanted, the cars panels roof hood and boot all had the armour installed. There was even enough material left over that they made 3 bullet proof vests, which they could wear under their shirts if they wanted to like Benny.

They had also tested the armour they made against 7.62 NATO and it dinted but didn't go through.

They sold all the weapons and ammo that they didn't want or need, to who ever wanted to buy them but they sold the bulk to the Ripoff Church arms dealers there were still a lot of extra old Kalashnikov models that used 7.62x39 and a hand full of RPG-7's that the rip off Church didn't buy as Rock had a plan for them, they were not offered for sale.

Rock talked to Benny about getting more information on The General and after an hour of hacking and printing Benny handed Rock a thick Manila folder filled with printouts and personal files of multiple people, battle reports and evaluations of performance, Interpol criminal files and intelligence files from surveillance.

He walked to his room and examined Dutch's files and Benny's files.

He compared both and found out things that the report that Dutch gave him did not tell him, the report only said that Achille had been to military jail and been dishonourably discharged from the Italian army for using military equipment to smuggle drugs between Afghanistan and Italy he escaped and raised an army of former Italian soldiers then a few years later he and his army took control of the area controlled by the Italian Mafia by wiping them out in Roanapur, but what Benny's intel told him was that his rank was Captain and was not a run of the mill soldier he was part of their most elite special forces team and that his whole unit was involved and dishonourably discharged as well.

Battle reports showed that they wiped out whole bases of Iranian soldiers fighters in the Kuwait war using only the magazines on their person that was hundreds of soldiers wiped out with only five men with 3 assault rifles a mini gun and a sniper rifle. One was a demolitions expert, another was a field medic, one was a marksman another was a heavy weapons expert and Achille was their officer and also trained as a sniper who showed on multiple occasions to be a gifted military strategist, masterful tactician and on occasion a brilliant investigator.

When the military came to pick up the Iranian vehicles, aircraft, weapons and equipment to sell, they found nothing only bullet casings and dead bodies, their was not even a empty magazine or a tactical vest.

One day they were caught using military trucks to smuggle drugs from Afghanistan to Russia.

They were charged for misusing military property, for transporting and selling contraband and for being in possession of 1000 kilograms or one tonne of Marijuana and one tonne of cocaine They were sentenced to life imprisonment each with no parole and spit up then sent to different military prisons.

Achille escaped from his prison transport and killed all the guards, then one by one his unit was freed from their respective military prisons. The entire prison staff of guards at each of the military prisons were all slaughtered. The guards never had time to call for reinforcements from the military.

According to the sources he has an army of 400 dishonourably discharged escaped soldiers with four Lieutenants in charge of them. It also said in the file that if someone or group of people were considered a dire threat he and his lieutenants took out the threat personally like when they were special forces for the Italian military. It was also heard that he ran the organisation like the military a well oiled machine he even had a court martial system exactly like the real military with a jury of their peers from his military also he and his lieutenants were the judges. The judgements were usually fair and were given appropriate sentences time in jail was replaced with time working for no pay in the warehouses or plantations being guarded like chain gangs and their weapons were confiscated.

Rock thinking to himself 'this guy ordered my execution but why? And are all his soldiers like the ones that were sent to kill me? Or did he see to my execution himself, but why would he bother unless he somehow figured out that I orchestrated the plan with The Mad Killer maid Roberta , did he know that I was hired by Chang to remove the soldiers before they got attacked. Then in my plan I correctly guessed what all the gangs will do and how they will react to the American soldiers, I built a corridor through his planning gives it to the kid the maid was supposed to work for then when the Americans find the kid they follow the map to get out of there leading them to the jungle where Roberta follows them and kills all of them.

The report says he is a gifted strategist and more importantly a gifted Investigator maybe he worked out that I planned the whole thing. He could see me as a threat as the Lagoon company is for hire and I am their most valuable employee. He wants to ensure that no other organisation can hire my intelligence and strategies to further their goals or take overs. Now I just need confirmation. If it was a random unit from his military I can't get everyone to join forces to attack him we would be all slaughtered. Then if all his soldiers are like that why have they not just invaded and destroyed all the other criminal organisations like the Triads and Chang, Hotel Moscow and Balalika as well as the local Cartel and their leader then taken over Roanapur's drug market they already took out the Italian mafia branch so why stop there. This can only mean that it was him and his team that tried to kill me, to confirm I need to come face to face with his normal soldiers.'

Rock then put the reports down and filed them, he would look at the specifics of his battle reports and strategy habits later, there was probably a job waiting from Dutch.

He heard the phone ring down stairs and the skank answered it and told Dutch it apparently was a job straight from the General, they were to meet up with a team of his soldiers pick up and then deliver crates of 'aspirins' to Indonesia.

He then pulled out his guns ensured that they were loaded and cocked the browning as it was a single action so it could be fired as soon as he quick-drew it. Then put them in their holsters. He needs to see and sense them if for some reason the General chooses to over see it he can surprise him and take him out then and there. He then put on the armour that they made and put on his shirt over it. He will not wear the combat vest or carry the Kalashnikov but will take it with him if he needed it.

As Rock comes down the stairs Dutch is there to greet him.

Dutch "We got a job working for the General if you pass it up I understand."

Rock smiles sadistically "I would not miss the chance to kill the General on my first job for him."

Dutch"man I still can't wrap my head around how much you have changed."

Rock " I heard we are going to Indonesia we should take the Falcon and a trailer to carry the so called aspirins. And use a beach as our port."

Dutch "that's a great idea I never would of thought of that I built the tank so it would be a car for around here."

Rock "when is the meetings how far does it take ?"

Dutch "today in 5 hours 1 hour to get there"

Rock "we may need to install crash bars for front and back, a high torque slow gear for traversing steep off road climbs, and a transforming suspension that can increase the ride height to Hummer heights with similar suspension system as the Hummer then drop back down to normal sports car height .

Dutch you should go get the parts for the modifications you probably know where and how to install it. We can finish installing them going to Indonesia so make sure everything fits first."

Dutch "you really thought this through I'll start now."

Dutch then goes to the garage and drives the Falcon and connects the trailer to the tow bar that came with the Falcon.

Two hours later Dutch comes back with the parts needed they were on the trailer that was covered with a tarp. Then in two hours with Rock's help he quickly connected the high torque gear and crash bar additions and tested the torque gear on a steep ramp that just missed the front crash bar, it worked it could easily traverse at low speeds it could now work reliably the front and back crash bars were also installed to test it fully he got in and drove to the steepest incline he could find tested it and found it worked perfectly he then drove back to the HQ and parked it. Dutch then got into The Lagoon was then drove it on their self made dry dock that also acted as a loading ramp. Once in position Dutch called Benny to lift up the ship out of the water. Once that was completed a ramp was pushed so that it met the flat nose of the ship then the front of the boat started to open releasing a hiss of pressurised air the metal came down like a ramp and rested on the ramp underneath then another hiss could be heard as another hatch was opened. The Falcon was then driven into the ship and the remaining parts were loaded into the ship the trailer was now then closed all the hatches making the ship seaworthy again. It was lowered back into the water.

On the way to the meet with the generals soldiers Dutch worked on the custom suspension modifications.

When they arrived at the meeting point Dutch had beached the front of the ship. Rock stayed in the ship then as Revy and Dutch left the ship to go talk to the soldiers Rock felt for energies all the energies were low.

The General and lieutenants were not here, no point going out, so instead he looked out the hatch to see rank and file soldiers all carrying old Kalashnikov variants similar to his there were no high ranking officers were present.

Once Revy and Dutch were finished they locked both doors making a hissing sound that was reforming the seal so that the ship was sea worthy and water proof again.

Dutch then continued working on the custom suspension until it succeeded and was reliable.

Then they dodged the Indonesian Coast guard found land and beached the ship Revy and Rock took the car out connected with a tow bar that was with the car before they started modifying it connected was a trailer that had crates that were to be delivered to the Generals men in Indonesia at their meeting point.

Revy"why you going with?"

Rock"if the General is here then I can kill him, you can't, but you should be able to handle the Lieutenants with just your pistols."

Revy "so you want revenge you really have changed resorting to violence with your own hands."

Rock"I need him to die, to pay for my life with his death be cause as long as he lives I can't live peacefully."

Revy"ha never thought of killing like that, look out no more road we have to go around." The road now ended

Rock "watch this."

Rock activated the custom suspension to lift then after the suspension transformation was complete he put the normal set of gears in neutral then put the high torque lever into gear and the Falcon slowly started climbing up.

Revy" What the hell did Dutch do to this car other than make it into a tank?"

Rock" at my suggestion he added a high torque low speed gear and a custom modified transforming suspension. So we can use this car to go any where, next I'll probably suggest a four wheel drive off road system from a four wheel drive that can change from 4 wheel drive to 2 but we did not have enough time to make those sorts of modifications as that would take another solid month."

Revy "once you two are finished with this car will it even be the same car?"

Rock" doesn't matter as this is to be able to be useful everywhere like a true troop carrier like a hummer."

The car now had reached the top and now the ground started to level off.

Rock "directions "

Revy "just keep going south there is an actual bitumen road 200 meters south then we go west along that road."

Rock removed the high torque gear put that in neutral then put the normal gear into first and weaved through the trees.

They eventually came out on to the road, Rock then lowered the suspension and drove out onto the road heading west.

Eventually they got to the meeting point which was at a private peer, Rock felt the soldiers energy they were not strong like his target. They were expecting a boat instead Rock and Revy beeped the car which alerted the soldiers with Revy yelling "the General wants his delivery we got it now pay us."

Hearing this Rock out of the car before they turned around. "The General commissioned us to deliver these crates to this location now it is only fair that you hold up your side of the deal."

The head soldier smiled "you have to pay a parking and loading fee of

40,000 as you didn't come by the expected route or transportation and we will leave you in peace."

Even now Rock in this situation would have figured out a way to diffuse the situation in their favour.

But these were soldiers working for the bastard who tried to kill him so instead this happened.

Rock "Fine take the agreed money for yourselves."

Faster than the eye could comprehend even for Revy with her training. He in one motion removed the baby browning from the holster and one by one shot each of the soldiers dead, each through the left eye, except for the highest ranking soldier, he was shot in both hands forcing him to drop his Kalashnikov and rendered incapable of firing a gun for the time being.

Their bodies just collapsed on the ground.

Rock"I need this one alive Revy."

Revy still hadn't worked out what happened, first Rock agreed to the stupid offer then the next second all the soldiers were dead except one that had blood coming out of his hands. She was just left in shock. Was this the same Rock who abhorred violence when she first met him had he changed that much that he would resort to torture and not just mind games.

Rock then tied him to a tree removed any weapons he had then ordered Revy to take everything of value from the rest.

Rock interrogated the soldier eventually using torture to get information out of him. He eventually had to use the running Falcons battery to electrocute torture him eventually getting information on the generals location his bases of operation finding out he had bases in Afghanistan where his drugs were grown then prepared for sale, Indonesia where he had depots to deliver drugs, and Siberia where he had a depot to deliver drugs into Russia , how his organisation runs who delivers and smuggles his drugs where he got his equipment and most importantly that it was indeed the General who was on a mission taking out a threat on the same day that Rock had been shot.

Revy heard everything but was shocked at how ruthless Rock had become actually torturing another human being to get information.

Rock was now certain that this General would not just die he was going to lose his entire empire and it was going to be this office worker that was going to bring it all down before dealing the death nail the bullet that will kill the General will come from one of his guns. He then with both hands snapped the soldiers neck killing him. He searched his body for anything of value and found a bag filled with stacks of cash, Rock counted it and found it was 40000 what they were meant to be paid. He then took the soldiers tactical vest with 4 full 7.62x39 magazines, ammo belt and his pistol Rock saw he had nothing else of value.

They put their new cargo in the boot of the Falcon. Rock held on to the cash. Rock then called Dutch to bring the boat to this location.

When Dutch arrived"what happened why are they all dead I knew I should not have let you go on this job"

Revy" they were not going to pay us Rock shot them all, they got what they deserved"

Dutch "normally you would have let your words do the talking not your gun."

Rock "you're right but these were no ordinary clients they belong to the same organisation that I am going to bring down."

Dutch" you can't do that if you do Balalika will go to war against us she is getting married to the General in a years time."

Revy" yeah sorry Rock forgot to mention that."

Rock "well then Fuck Balalika, I don't care who she fucks but if she will go to war then we will just have to use Chang and the triads and the Cartel to wipe them both out. We will personally weaken both empires then Bring Them Down."

Dutch" do you realise who you are talking about?"

Rock"oh yes I do, normally I would be shitting my pants but don't you realise we are a lot stronger than their entire army we are simply now a far superior fighting force we may be few in number but we are a in a class of our own Revy remember my battles Dutch don't you remember what happened in Somalia we fucking made mince meat of the pirates these soldiers are no different." Pointing at the dead soldiers on the ground.

Dutch"this vengeance deal has gone too far your not just trying to kill a few men you want to take down two massive organisations it is impossible."

Rock "nothing is impossible, if you will not join me then I will take my cut and leave." At this he takes out 10 grand and drops the paper bag in the mud, then picks up a crate of drugs and puts it on the back of the Hummer then goes to the boot of the car takes his ammo vest puts it on and his Kalashnikov then takes out a hard plastic suitcase filled with 7.62x39 magazines. With Kalashnikov slung on his shoulder, vest on and dragging the suitcase in his left hand going towards the hummer that the generals soldiers came in and puts his stuff in the back then getting in the drivers seat. But as he was about to press the button to start the car, Revy "If Rocks leaving I am as well " taking out 10000 from the paper bag on the ground, then going to the back of the Falcon and taking her vest and rifle. Putting it in the Hummer as well. Then getting in the passenger seat.

With Revy in the car he was about to start the Hummer when Dutch "Fucking God Dammit not you too Revy this is a suicide run neither of you will come back from this."

Rock" We will see."

Then he starts the car but before he puts it in gear.

Dutch"you are that confident aren't you, you said something like that just before our first mission after your survival then went on to wipe out several boats with a weapon you had never used before.

Tell me Rock are you confident, can you succeed, do you have a plan?"

Rock smiling "yes"

Dutch "fine but who will employ us when we wipe out both armies"

Rock"I will, what do you think I will do just destroy the organisation, no I will take over both the organisations and kill most of the soldiers then employ soldiers from all around the world in my new organisation we won't just live any more we will control the drugs market in Roanapur so that the drugs will only be sold in safe single use quantities. Then every one would buy from us they might even pay a premium if they know that they can have drugs without the risk of dying."

Revy "Rock still you try to make the world a better place but it is a bit hypocritical"

Rock" when have I said anything against selling drugs?"

Revy"huh actually now that I think about it you never have."

Dutch "such huge aspirations well we only live once so you know what I'm in, this is your plan but on The Black Lagoon I am the Captain understand, on that ship I am boss everywhere else you are."

Rock "deal"

Dutch"I would hate to be your enemy Rock you scare me sometimes."

Rock"let's load all this equipment up put the rest of the crates in the back of the Hummer then load it in the ship, the trailer can just fit lying on its side next to the Falcon we will have to tie it up to ensure it does not move."

Rock "almost forgot let's incinerate the bodies."

Rock as he was about to pull his knife out he saw a chainsaw in the back of the Hummer, he then started it and started cutting down trees making a large funeral pier then stacked the bodies one on top of another, used leaves and bark made fibrous to start the fire. Once the funeral pier was ready to be lit he pulled out his knife opened the clasp then pulling out the flint he then struck the back of the knife against the flint towards the tinder it created a spark and a small flame, he then carefully started blowing until it caught alight he threw it into the pier, it slowly caught fire entirely engulfing the bodies. He then put the flint back in the knife and put the knife away.

At this point the ship was loaded up they headed back to Roanapur.

Not long after they left The General felt his soldiers energies fade and some other energies that were as strong as his. He got in his Hummer with a corporal to drive him to the location.

When he got there the strong energies he felt were on a boat, he noticed that a funeral pier was burning he then ordered the Corporal to get a bucket and start dousing the fire. After a while of dousing the fire subsided enough so that he could pull off the bodies from the pier he investigated their bodies and found that almost all of them had an exit hole on the left side of the back of the skull, meaning these men were shot in the left eye, only one of them had no bullet wounds at all he had a limp neck that meant that his neck was snapped. He looked at the slightly charred body and found burn marks on the mans nipples, he was tortured with electricity. Then remaining completely objective he looked around the area saw that the hummer meant to carry the drugs was missing only tire tracks remained, he then noticed another set of tire tracks that seemed to have evidence that it was heavier than a normal car and that behind it was a trailer. So Lagoon Company had a four wheel drive and used that to pull the loaded trailer carting his drugs. He noticed an indent in the mud that looked like a bag of cash was dropped and found six bullet casings they were marked .25 ACP this came from an easily concealable gun that were near it. He then found 5 polls of blood four of them being large and one was just bleeding wounds split into two thin lines, he followed the bleeding wounds to a tree, it seems that one of the soldiers was tied here and electrically tortured with the battery of the hummer. He looked further around and saw a mound of leaves and dirt inside it was another dead body it was far away from the others still with all his equipment he searched the body and and found several 7.62x39 bullet wounds and a tape recorder in his back pocket. He played the recording from the beginning. "Captain you can't be serious stealing from the General is a warrant for court-martial if found guilty we would all be executed.

That's the thing private we won't be stealing from him the Lagoon company will, we will kill them take their pay then sell these drugs and accuse the lagoon company of stealing it.

But Captain this is just wrong if we were found out, the General is smart he inspects every crime scene and always finds out the truth. So I am out I'm going back to the barracks don't worry I won't tell a soul.

"

General De Angelo thought 'That was it so basically the soldiers killed this loyal private to make extra money, then the Lagoon company arrived and had some sort of personnel carrier ship then unloaded their four wheel drive and trailer carrying drugs. Traveled by car to avoid the Indonesian patrols as much as possible then attempted to deliver it but then the troops were about to kill them, one of the Lagoon Company who had a six shot .25ACP shot and killed the treasonous soldiers then tortured the soldier that left the two blood trails from the holes in his hands to find out if I ordered it he must not have said anything as they took the drugs and their money as compensation for the failure of the deal. Looks like they will never accept a job from me again they were such a reliable crew but I need the drugs back or the money from the sale of the drugs, they probably sold it to Chang or the Cartel but I want my 100 million dollars I'll have to take it from the triads without killing Chang, Balalika wants to personally end him looks like we will go to war with the Triads early but before I move I will ask around first to see who they sold it to."
