Izzie was sat in the break room of Scoops Ahoy as Dustin played the 'secret Russian message.'

"So what do you think?" Dustin asked, stopping the recording.

"Sounds familiar." Steve said between bites of a banana.

"What?" Dustin questioned.

"The music. The music right there at the end." He answered.

"Why are you listening to the music Steve? Listen to the Russian we're translating Russian!"

Izzie shook her head. "No he's right. It is familiar."

"Thank you! And I'm trying to listen to the Russian but there's music playing-"

"Alright babysitting time is over! You need to get out there!" Robin interrupted, busting in through the door. Her attention turned to the white board that was now full of Russian letters. "Hey my board! That was important data shit bird! I was keeping count of how many times a day Steve mentioned Izzie!"

"I can guarantee you that this is way more important than Steve's obsession with blondie over here." Dustin argued, pointing to Izzie.

"Yeah? And how do you know that these Russians are up to no good anyways?" Robin asked, and Dustin's face fell with shock as if he weren't yelling through thin walls about the recording.

"How does she know about the Russians?" He asked Steve.

"I don't know." He shrugged with a mouthful of banana.

As the two bickered Robin sighed. "Hello I can hear you. Actually, I can hear everything. You two are extremely loud. Izzie is a little harder to hear clearly, but loud nonetheless."

"Thanks? I guess?" Izzie said.

Steve shook his head. "Izzie is very loud." Izzie's eyes widened as she reached her arm back to smack the boy for his inappropriate comment.

"You three think you have evil Russians on that tape and you're trying to translate but you haven't figured out a single word because you didn't realize the Russians use an entirely different alphabet than we do. Sound about right?"

Izzie just looked at her wide eyed. "Yeah. Pretty much."

Robin reached for the tape, but Steve quickly grabbed it. "Woah! What are you doing?"

"I wanna hear it." She answered.

"Why?" Steve and Dustin said in unison.

"Because maybe I can help. I'm fluent in four languages you know." She offered.

"Russian?" Izzie questioned. Robin replied with a string of words in a foreign language that the three assumed to be Russian.

"Woah!" Steve smiled.
