Lotton's luck
Things were wrapping up after a fight. Revy, Shenhua, Sawyer and Lotton had been protecting a shipment for Chang. They were working together because Dutch and Benny had the boat down for repairs, and Rock was off doing something for Balalaika. They had been in pairs, Revy and Shenhua, Sawyer and Lotton, when the first two got jumped by some hijackers, which had brought the second pair running.
The fight was over and Revy was leaning against Lotton's SUV, while he watched over Sawyer as she checked the bodies for loot. Shenhua stood nearby cleaning her blades with a cloth.
Revy sucked in a lungful of smoke and blew it out, "Hey, Chinglish! You know that's the coolest I've ever seen your boyfriend! He never said a word and only did minimum posing! He shot straight and for once dropped targets like a pro! What the hell got into him!?"
"Oh Sawyer fix him," the Taiwanese woman said in her sing-song voice.
Revy flinched, "Fixed!? What tha hell!? You mean like cut'em off or something!?"
Shen laughed, "No, stupid Twinkie! What good he be to us then? She fix him talking!"
Revy had visions of the little Goth girl cutting out Lotton's tongue, but Shenhua stepped over and turned the Wizard's head toward the Lagoon gunwoman. The red-head broke out in laughter as she saw the man's face.
"What the fuck!? She muzzled him!?"
The white haired man's eyes looked depressed as he scratched at the leather mask that covered his mouth and chin.
"Oh alright, I let you loose now. You been good boy!" the tall woman said as she reached up and un-hooked the buckles that held the mask on. As it came loose, Revy could also see the man also had a ball gag in his mouth.
Lotton exhaled a sigh of relief as he pulled a bottle of water from his pocket to drink. "Damn it's hard to breath in that! Please, Shen baby! Don't bind me up like that again! How can I make a grand entrance if I can't talk!?"
He was speaking to the air though as the women were too busy falling all over each other in laughter.
