Revy knew the office was pretty far from where she was, but she didn't care. Not at all. She just kept running, her tears fluttering into the wind behind her. The only thing on her mind was getting Jack to safety and patching him up. As she reached a crossroad, a car suddenly screeched in front of them and front passenger window opened up to reveal Mr. Chang.

"Hurry up and get in!!!" he exclaimed as the door behind him opened up. Revy froze up for a short moment but jumped in. She closed the door and they sped off to the Lagoon Company building. One of Chang's men tried to tend to Jack's wounds to Revy's incoherent screaming and crying.

Chang attempted to reassure her that everything was going to be okay, but she wasn't listening and instead carried on with her stationary rampage. Within minutes, Chang's car and a few other Triad vehicles pulled up to Lagoon's office building. As Revy tried to get out of the car, she began to black out from her intense fit.

As she dropped to the ground, she muttered to herself. "Dammit... hold on Jack..."

Dutch looked out the window. "Hong Kong Triad... shit, what's happening?" he growled.

Rock shrugged and went to go have a look, but Mr. Chang bust the door down and men filed in. He saw a bloody Jack and a severely fatigued Revy carried through the door without haste.

Rocks eyes widened. "Mr. Chang, what the hell happened?" As the two were treated on the couches behind them, Chang began to explain.

"One of my men witnessed your little boy getting the shit beat out of him by a bunch of local street brats. Before he could react, Two Hands showed up and mowed them down with her Cutlasses then carried him off in the direction of this building. That soldier reported to me and I immediately took off from my HQ. I found them about half way and picked them up. Two Ha-erm, Revy, was going ballistic in the backseat. By the time we reached the front of your office, she worked herself up and passed out trying to exit the vehicle. Luckily, one of my other men caught her before she hit her head. They're both lucky my man was out their when he was."

Rock shook his head. He wished for excitement, but not like this. Dutch placed a hand on his shoulder. "Go on Rock. Go be with them. Take the rest of the day off, Revy too."

Dutch and Mr. Chang walked outside to Benny pulling up in the GTO. Rock walked over to the couches surrounded by Triad soldiers and medics. He checked on Jack first. Jack was awake and he looked up at his foster father.

"D-Daddy?" he enquired weakly.

"Yeah?" Rock replied softly.

"I hate Roanapur." Rock sighed deeply and looked out the window at the cluster of Triad cars.

Benny was scratching his head as he leaned against the red Pontiac and conversed with his boss and Chang.

Rock then spoke again. "I know buddy... I know."

One of the medics spoke up as he finished wrapping bandages around the wounds. "He will make a full recovery. As for Two-Hands, let her rest. Both of them need to be in bed for awhile."

Rock nodded to him as the group of Chinese mafia men funneled out of the room. He lifted Revy's head up and sat down, then rested it upon his lap. She breathed peacefully, a single tear still staining the left side of her face. He sighed to himself once again, then leaned his head back and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, he awoke to movement on the couch. Revy began to stir. Her eyes opened up and she stared at her lover with a somber tone to her gaze.

"Rock... where's Jack?" she mumbled.

Rock smiled and pointed to the couch parallel to them. Jack slept quietly, not even moving an inch. Revy smiled.

"The Triad doctor said he will make a full recovery." Rock explained.

Revy began to speak but Rock knew what she was going to say and cut her off. "Don't blame yourself. You did all you could do for him before Chang showed up and I'm proud of you, Revy."

He grinned then grabbed her hand and kissed it gently. "I love you." he confessed once again.

"I love you too... man, that will never get old will it?" she laughed.

"Not a chance." Rock chuckled. Just then, Genesis walked in and saw the three all worn out on the couch.

"Okay, what the fuck happened while I was sleeping" she complained.

Rock and Revy rolled their eyes in unison. "Don't worry about it Sis." Revy moaned as she closed her eyes again.
