Soldiers Of Fortune Page #3

That's Magda,

she's Colonel Lupo's daughter,

and the only person he cares for.

She's pure evil.

As long as Lupo finds buyers

for the island's metals

he can finance his mercenaries

and brutalize the people.

All right, so those are the bad guys.

Who are the good guys? You?

I was born on the island.

I want to set it free.

The resistance is dying,

but now there is hope.

Ernesto and I

have found five very rich

men who are willing to help.

You know something, lady?

I've never met a rich guy

who's willing to give

away something for nothing.

What do your backers

want for their money?

Kicks and thrills.

With our Soldiers of

Fortune Adventure Program,

we've set up a basic training

camp for our clients in Romania.

With their charitable contributions,

we've purchased the firepower

to finally resist Colonel Lupo.

Ernesto leased a ship

to transport the weapons.

We know that Lupo's mercenaries

do not patrol the uninhabited

east side of the island.

Our financiers'

adventure mission will be

to escort the weapons to shore

and get them to the resistance base camp

protected by bodyguards at all times.

Wait a second, let me get this straight.

You and Ernesto are

pimping out your revolution

as some kind of tourist attraction

for a bunch of millionaires,

and you expect me to be your guide?

Yes. We need your credentials

to assure our clients of their safety.

One last op, Craig.

You're lucky in war,

you said so yourself.

With you, everybody comes home.

Our clients will never be

near actual combat, Craig.

And you can save your friend's home.

And everybody will be happy.

Our wealthy warriors have arrived.

Tell me what we're dealing with.

The first of our soldiers of fortune

is Charles Herbert Vanderbeer.

Vanderbeer is a genuine

American aristocrat.

One of his ancestors bought

Manhattan from a drunk Indian

for twenty-four silver dollars

and a bottle of moonshine.

Vanderbeer runs a

Wall Street hedge fund.

He made a fortune from sub prime loans,

and then another from the bank bailout.

It's a shame a lot of ordinary

folks lost their homes,

but that's Wall Street for you.

The rich get richer and

the poor can go to hell.

I'm gonna enjoy watching him under fire.

Our second millionaire is Roman

St. John. A metals magnate.

St. John traded vodka and

bluejeans on the black market

before the Berlin Wall fell.

And then, in the anarchy

that followed somehow

all his business rivals got

murdered but he survived.

Now he owns a huge

mining and smelting empire

and lives the life of

an international playboy.

He was last sighted off the

coast of Somalia, fishing.

St. John does have

practical weapons exposure,
