Call to Arms: Betrayed

The Time for Peace.... is over

"Capt. Mikhailovich!" Kowaleski exclaimed as Alexei turned to look at him. "Yes, General?" she asks as he smiles cruelly. "It is time we begin your training. To fully pull off our rouse, you must learn to fight hand to hand the way the Spetsnaz does. Pvt. Zalensky will be your sparring partner," Kowaleski said as a tall lanky man stood by him. "It is lovely to meet you, Miss Mikhailovich," the soldier said as as he reached out to shake hands with her. She only nodded and then took off her jacket. "The Spetsnaz usually start the fight, so Mikhailovich, begin," Kowaleski said as Alexei lunged for the man. She managed to lock his head in a headlock and waited for him to surrender. "Don't let up, Mikhailovich!" Kowaleski exclaimed as Alexei held onto the man. He started to gasp for breath and began to tap her on the arm. "Don't let up," he said lazily as Alexei let the man go. He gasped in pain and then coughed, his face pale. "Why did you let him go?!" Kowaleski exclaimed as Alexei looked away. "I won't be a murderer for anyone," she said as he grabbed a handful of her hair. "You will obey me, girl! Either obey, or I'll kill you!" he exclaimed as she heard a few of the men laugh at her. She twisted out of his grip and then stared at him. "You heard me, Kowaleski. I'm no one's murderer. Zalensky, I'm sorry if I hurt you," she said as Zalensky shrugged. "I've had worse, ma'am. Don't worry," he said as Kowaleski backhanded Alexei. She stepped back a bit as he grabbed her neck. "I have no qualms about wringing your neck like a chicken, little girl. Obey or I'll-!" he exclaimed as he heard someone clear their throat. "Gen. Kowaleski! Put Cpt. Mikhailovich down!" they heard a man exclaim as Kowaleski turned his head to him. "President Borodin!" Kowaleski exclaimed as he dropped Alexei. She fell to her knees and then gasped, her neck hurting. "President Borodin. Thank you for seeing us. I wanted you to see Miss Mikhailovich again before you left for Great Britain," Kowaleski said as Borodin helped Alexei up. "Are you okay, Miss Mikhailovich?" he asked as she nodded and then swallowed. "How have you been, Capt. Mikhailovich?" Borodin asked as Alexei shrugged. "Had a little girl, sir. She's beautiful," she said as he smiled. "What did you name her?" he asked as Kowaleski scoffed. "Emily Marie, sir," she said as Borodin smiled. "A beautiful name, ma'am. Very beautiful, but American," he said as Alexei blushed. "Her father was an American, sir. I gave her it so she'd know her heritage," Alexei said. "Well, nonetheless, we have bigger fish to fry. So, I guess we had better get ready to leave," Borodin said as Alexei nodded and then followed him out of the room...
