Black Lagoon: The Island of Lost Souls

6 - Piece By Piece

"Well, this is quite an interesting sight.." Said Dustin with a yawn, stretching out as he rode along with Revy in Benny's Pontiac Tempest to what she called the Rip Off Church. "I didn't realize Sunday church was a thing here."

"People don't go here to fuckin' worship the lord, Dusty.." Revy replied in a crass tone, keeping her eyes on the road while smoking a cigarette. "Once you meet who works there it'll start to root up in that mind of yours."

It had been more than four days since the encounter at the bar, and it seemed that Dustin was slowly getting more and more used to what Roanapur was as a city and also as a hotspot for almost all crimes imaginable.

But at the same time, while adjusting to the gloomy, unforgiving atmosphere of the Thai city, the Lagoon members had started to grow on him, especially Revy. It was almost like he finally had the chance to have a sister for once.. a rather rude one at that.

"Alright, we're finally here.." Revy said with a rather nonchalant tone, blowing some cigarette smoke from her lips as she drove into the dirt patch in front of the large church that stood before them.

Dustin ran a hand through his hair, taking a look at the building. "Wow.. I'm surprised this place hasn't been blown to fucking bits by now."

"Let's just say the Church has the miraculous ability to keep all the allegiances in this city fat and happy for as long as they need to be.. now are ya' gonna stop fucking yapping and get out of the car?" Revy would say back, gritting her teeth a little as she stared at Dustin. She had already gotten out of the car and was waiting on him.

"Oh, um, sorry." Dustin would quickly apologize, opening his door and quickly getting out. In recent days he had gone for some clothes shopping, and now had a more professional wardrobe to come along with him. Today he wore a dark colored tank top, jeans, and boots. A pair of sunglasses dangled from his jean pocket.

Together, Revy and him would walk up to the chapel, over to the large wooden doors that awaited them.

Revy would stop, tapping her gloved knuckle on the doors. "Eda! Open up! It's Rebecca from the Lagoon Company! I need some of your damn time!" She shouted.

Some shuffling could be heard inside, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching the door. It'd open slowly, revealing what seemed to be a lady dressed in a nun's dress and habit. A few blonde bangs popped up from under the habit as she chewed some pink bubblegum. "What do you want, Revy? We're expecting two whole shipments in an hour." Said the blonde, her accent strikingly American.

"Eda, I really don't give a shit.. look, we got a new member. Dustin, this is Eda. Eda, meet Dustin." Revy said rather quickly, introducing the man to the blonde nun, the latter moving her pink sunglasses down to get a better look at him.

"My, my, my, look what God himself put down on this Earth.. you finally pull someone within your league, Revy? Was Rock too good for ya, after all this time..?" Said Eda, a smirk on her face as Revy began to fume.

"Shut the fuck up, Eda, and let us inside before I do it myself.."

"Alright, alright, I was just playing! Come on inside.." Eda said, pulling open the door and letting the two in, revealing the rather simplistic, cavernous interior of the chapel, the pews empty but also clean, like they were prepared for an upcoming service.

"So what brings you and your friend here, Revy? I can't exactly gossip since Sister Yolanda wants me to keep myself in line." Eda said, sitting down at the front of the chapel, taking a seat by a small wooden table.

"Nothing that'll take up way too much of your time, miss prim and proper." Revy said, still smoking her cigarette as she leaned against a nearby pew, Dustin standing in the aisle beside her. "Just wanna buy some new toys for our pal here."
