Chapter 46 - Rambo

– Delay. Not good. – Dutch said, getting up from his chair – I'll call Balalaika and find out what's going on. You are... try not to smash Bar Bao again during this time.

Jack's hand convulsively gripped the pistol grip, and his thumb began nervously twitching the ring from the flash–bang grenade - "It begins. Damn, all these people are going to be screwed now."

He looked back once more and looked at the men and women having fun – "... in principle, if I disperse them, they will survive, but how to do it? What do I have to do to make them all get off their asses and leave? Yes, and "Laguna" will obviously ask me for strange gestures..."

Seconds flew by, but his convulsive mind did not come up with anything useful, and after all, time was not rubber.

– Hmm, I thought you'd feel better when we get here, but you've turned quite pale. – Revie said with slight concern, pushing the half–empty glass of rum away from her - Maybe you picked up what?

Jack first twitched slightly from the unexpected treatment, and then forced a smile – No. It's all right.

At that moment, Dutch was listening to the Balalaika – I want you to make a deal on Palawan Island. Asahi Industries' answer seemed suspicious to me, and so I threw the "bait" and a Chinese rat surprisingly got caught on it. We've already had a nice chat with this pest. – she said simply, while her subordinates were kicking the Asian, who, by the look of it, had already managed to survive some shit

– Who's behind him?

– Just a second. – she said calmly and looked at the Asian man, whose face was all in tears – Say your boss's name loudly and hurry up.

– E-his nickname is "Big Brother"! He's the one who gave me the information I need to take you out! To do this, he sent killers after you! Don't kill me! Please!

– Did you hear that? Balalaika frowned. According to the canon, she should be smiling now, but it just so happened that her subordinate was with the Laguna company now. Moreover, this man was quite dear to her.

- Yes... It sucks.

– Tell me how many of them and who they work for. – Balalaika said sternly, looking down at the Chinese – I don't have much time, so hurry up, otherwise you will find out what pain really is.

– Mercenaries! Mercenaries from the "Special Department"! I do not know how many there will be! I really don't know! You are welcome!..

Balalaika waved her hand irritably and a shot rang out – It looks like they are ready for anything. The "Special Department" is specialists, veterans of wars. Be extremely careful.

– We'll manage no matter what. – Dutch shook his head slightly – Jack and his intuition are with us, which seems to be working.

"Oh, yes, my dear subordinate... – Balalaika squinted, her eyes flashing dangerously in the dark – I really hope to see him alive, Dutch.

The Negro at the end of the phone smiled – This asshole has the best chance of surviving. Revie clearly had her eye on him, and she wouldn't just give up what fell into her hands.

– Is that so? This girl has her eye on my cute brothel manager? – the captain asked in a strange tone

"...didn't you know?" Dutch asked a little cautiously, already thinking that he had blurted out too much – "What kind of games are you playing with dangerous women, kid..."

– It doesn't matter... – Balalaika waved away

There was the sound of a motor and the sound of brake pads. Several large military vehicles and trucks stopped next to the bar, from which mercenaries immediately began to jump out.

"That's it. Time's up." – pursing his lips, Jack clenched his jaw

He got up from the bar stool and Revie asked with interest – Where are you going?

He didn't have to answer anything, because half a dozen grenades flew into the bar under the sound of breaking windows.

Revie's pupils turned into slits from what she saw. She quickly turned towards Jack to help him survive, but the guy, to her surprise, was faster.

A second before the explosion, he quickly hugged her and jumped over the bar to Bao's surprised exclamation.

Jack landed with a loud bang on his back on the wooden floor, but this bang was completely drowned out by the explosion of grenades.

* BANG*

A deafening explosion hit his ears as he winced at the pain caused by the fall. Not only did he weigh o-go-go, so there was also a Revi on top of him, which increased the overall force of the blow that fell on his back.

After the explosion, automatic bursts of dozens of assault rifles rang out – To put holes in everyone! No one should be left alive! – a shout came from the street

– Kyayayayayayayayayay!

– Mom!

– What the fuck!..

Screams filled with fear, rage and panic echoed these shots, plunging the bar into complete chaos.

"Not bad, Jack. Very good. – Revie grinned – Thanks for the soft landing. I like more and more how soft you are. – she said, lying on top of him.

– Well, I'm glad to try. – Jack smiled wryly – By the way, we have a shootout here. Why don't you get off me?

The girl slightly reached out and took her unfinished glass of rum – I feel good here.

The guy sighed, and then grinned with this crazy devil – You're not serious, are you?

– Do you doubt it?

– If we die here, then I will not be able to fulfill your wish. Jack shrugged with a slight smile

The deaths of all these people whose screams still echoed off the walls of the bar. Bullets pounding on an armored rack. The guilt he felt from not doing anything to save these people... He was emotionally exhausted. There was no strength even for anxiety and fear.

He was in a strange state that could only be compared to a state of good intoxication.

– Yes, you probably caught Zen, handsome. – Revi grinned, looking at his calm and bottomless honey eyes – I noticed correctly. If we die here, then there is no desire... and I already expect to get something, so dying is not an option here. – the girl finished hoarsely

With that, she slowly pulled the pistols out of their holsters.

Then Dutch's voice was heard – Your mother! – he shouted, pressing himself against the wall

The Negro looked out of the passage to the back exit and saw Revie and Jack at the bar. Realizing that the couple was alive, he shouted – Benny?!

The table next to the bar moved and Benny's voice was heard from under its debris - Eh? Who am I... ah... yes, exactly. Everything seems to be in place. I'm fine! Kind of.

– Roar, calm down your friends before they completely ruin my bar! – Bao shouted discontentedly, pulling a shotgun from under the bar counter

– This is the first time I've seen them. – the girl shrugged her shoulders, sitting down with her back to the counter and taking a comfortable position

– Roar! – Dutch shouted, reloading his revolver - Show these fools why they call you "Two–Armed".

The girl grinned in anticipation, but suddenly she was gently patted on the shoulder – I'll help.

Revie quickly shot a sharp glance at Jack, who pulled out a gun–No! Sit quietly and keep your head down.

He smiled and pulled the flash–bang out of his pocket-I don't remember stuffing myself into your servant.

– Tc, I'm serious. This is not the time for heroism. – she said with alarm and irritation

– It won't work. I will still help. You'd better listen to my plan...

...

The shooting and the clanking of the shutters were over.

Slowly, mercenaries entered the bar and began to finish off the survivors – Each survivor took a bullet in turn!

But suddenly a stun gun flew out from behind the bar and fell right under the feet of the mercenaries.

* BANG*

The deafening sound and blinding flash wreaked havoc in their ranks and rendered several mercenaries temporarily incapacitated.

Revie jumped up on the bar next. The girl squatted down and with a fighting grin began to quickly shoot with two hands, mercilessly killing several opponents.

Then she jumped aside, and automatic fire fell on the place where she had just been sitting, but she was no longer there.

Even in flight, Revi continued to shoot and make meat colanders out of the enemy. The girl was fast and plastic.

Of course, she wasn't faster than a bullet, but the mercenaries couldn't keep up with her, which led to their death.

Jack followed from under the bar and, taking advantage of the confusion, opened fire. The finger convulsively pulled the trigger, and the gun obediently spat out lead at great speed, taking the lives of three mercenaries.

Bao and Dutch did not stand aside and, along with the guy, opened fire on the enemy.

Having felt such resistance and having received such losses, the surviving mercenaries urgently retreated and hid behind the transport on which they arrived.

– We have to leave! Dutch shouted, loading the last rounds into the revolver's drum

Jack, as if in a trance, calmly pulled out the second stun gun, straightened the antennae on it, pulled out the ring and threw it at the mercenaries.

There was another explosion with a strong flash, which was the signal for them.

Benny immediately ran out of hiding and ran into the aisle to Dutch, followed by Revie and Jack. On the way, the guy, on a machine gun, picked up a shortened kalashnikov from the corpse and finally, hiding around the corner, opened blind fire on the mercenaries, killing at least one.

– Come on, Rambo! Revie shouted with a frightening wide grin, grabbing Jack by the collar and dragging him along – I see you've got a taste, but it's time for us to get away!

...

"Laguna" and Jack quickly climbed onto the boat and also sped off, heading for Palawan Island, where the new place of the deal with Asahi Industries was located.

Bao also disappeared, escaping through another exit. These militants obviously came for the "Lagoon", so he understood that leaving with them was a bad idea for his health.
