Chapter One - The Yellow Flag
At the Yellow Flag in Roanapur. Pip Bernadotte and the Wild Geese enter. The appearance of the armed mercenaries silence all the patrons inside. Pip simply smirks and lights up a cigarette.
Pip: Let's have ourselves a drink!
Pip and the rest of the Wild Geese walk up to the bar. Bao serves up several glasses of liquor for the mercenaries to drink. As the Wild Geese drink, Pip turns to the patrons of the bar.
Pip: I'm here for a job! I was told I needed some company! From the Lagoon Company! Anyone here who can point me and my boys the way?!
As no one mutters a word, Revy walks up to Pip as he continues to smoke his cigarette. Revy's attire immediately catches Pip's attention as some of the Wild Geese whistle at her.
Pip: Why hello there little lady!
Revy: Shut the fuck up you French cocksucker!
Revy's insult cause the other Wild Geese to snicker among themselves. Pip himself found her vulgar language amusing.
Pip: That's quite the mouth you have on!
Revy: Oh for fuck's sake! Are you the limp dicked asshole hired by Balalaika or what?!
Pip: That would be correct madame! The name's Pip Bernadotte and we're the Wild Geese!
Upon hearing the name, Revy begins laughing hysterically. While most of the Wild Geese were confused by this reaction, Pip finishes up his cigarette and lights up a new one.
Revy: Wild fucking Geese?! That's the stupidest fucking name I've ever heard! Are you gonna fly away and shit on people's cars?!
Pip: Laugh all you like, but the Wild Geese are not to be underestimated. We've been through more than our share of the worst the world can offer! Roanapur seems like a lovely vacation stop compared to the some of the places we've been!
After getting annoyed, Revy pulls out her gun and aims it right at Pip's face. The rest of the Wild Geese soon pull out their assault rifles and aim at Revy. Despite having a gun pointed at his face, Pip smiles.
Pip: Is this the famous Roanapur welcome I've heard so much about? I must say, I'm a little bit disappointed.
Revy: Let's see how disappointed you are when I splatter your goddamn brains all over this fucking wall!
Wild Geese Lieutenant: Should I give the order Captain?!
Pip: No need lieutenant! I got it covered!
Pip then pulls out his Colt Single Action Army Revolver and points it directly under Revy's chin with his finger on the trigger. As the standoff intensifies, Bao intervenes.
Bao: Don't you even fucking think about it Revy! I just reopened! It cost me a fucking fortune to renovate the fucking place!
Revy: Fucking can it Bao!
Upon hearing this, Pip lowers his weapon.
Pip: Lower your weapons men. It would be a shame to have all this fine liquor go to waste!
With a slight hesitation, the Wild Geese lower their weapons. As they do, Dutch enters the bar and sees the scene.
Dutch: Aw shit.....Revy?
Revy: Not not Dutch! I'm about to blow this fucker's head off!
Pip: Now listen here.....Revy. If you shoot me, I'm dead. But you're outnumbered at least twenty to one. You might be able to shoot down a couple of them, but you wouldn't last too long before getting riddled with bullets. So why not put the gun down and discuss business, no?
After some consideration, Revy takes a look at the armed Wild Geese standing right behind the smiling Pip.
Revy: I'm a touch bitch to kill!
Pip: And my men are tough bastards.
That smart ass remark annoyed Revy as she lowered her gun and holstered it.
Revy: God fucking dammit......
Pip: I'm going to safely assume you're with the Lagoon Company?
Dutch: We are. The name's Dutch. I can see you've already met Revy.
Pip: Indeed I have! She seems to be the kind of person that would fit perfectly with the Wild Geese!
Revy: Fuck off Frenchman! If I had to wear that ridiculous uniform, I'd blow my fucking brains out!
Dutch: So you must be the guys that Balalaika hired to help us with the job.
Pip: Pip Bernadotte and the Wild Geese at your service!
Revy snickers in the background at the mention of the Wild Geese's name. Dutch decides to have a private discussion outside the Yellow Flag with Revy.
Dutch: Balalaika fill you in the the details?
Pip: Someone in Hotel Moscow is doing what they shouldn't be doing. They're trying to start up a gang without her say so. I'm here to.....clean up the mess.
Revy: Why the fuck did Balalaika hire these fucking clowns?! We can handle one fucking Russian pussy ourselves!
Dutch: The Wild Geese are among the most elite mercenary groups in the world. They've seen some serious shit around the world. Afghanistan, Ukraine, Sierra Leone, Somalia, you name it.
Pip was flattered by the praise.
Pip: It seems our reputation proceeds us! Shall we begin?
Dutch: Not yet. We'll need to make a.....stop at the Rip-Off Church. A job like this is gonna require serious firepower.
Pip was left curious. He has seen and heard strange things in his life, but he's never heard of a church holding weapons. Roanapur soon becomes more interesting to Pip by the second.
Pip: Heh. Roanapur is really starting to grow on me. All right Dutch! Lead the way! WILD GEESE! Move out!
As Pip barked his orders, the mercenaries soon follow Dutch and Revy to the Rip-Off Church to load up for their mission from Hotel Moscow. Pip was very much looking forward to see what Roanapur could offer both himself and the Wild Geese.
