If you've never read "Black Lagoon", well, I love it, and I've got every volume. It's a Japanese manga series, you might like it, you might not, there's a lot of violence in it (go figure...) but it gave me the idea for this little story, so I hacked out this a while ago. And now, that warning: this story does have more than a little death and violence... so if that's not your thing, skip this one.
