The next 5 weeks fly by in a blur. Until one day.
Vova was kidnapped. I took me less than 24 hours to find out where they were keeping him. I told Sergey that I knew where he was but I needed a 5 hour head start before you tell anyone else.

I had something great to share with Vova and no Russian Dick-tator-tod will be standing in my way.

I walked into the hanger Putin himself was hitting Vova. He's one eye was swollen shut.

Me: You knew all along I'd find you.

Putin:Of course I did. You are like Clint Eastwood. You always get your man. Now put gun down, or I put a hole in your little fuck buddy's head.

Me: You do that, and you're dead.

Putin:Yes, but he will also be. My way... maybe one of you lives. Now toss your gun this way. (showing me Vova eye) You like my work? I like to tenderize my meat before I take a bite. ( Grunts )

Me: This is between us, Vladimir.

Putin:Maybe in your country, but in Russia, you do something wrong to someone, it becomes family affair. Do you know why you fell into my lap?

Me:I'm not playing games.

Putin: Because you're arrogant. You fly around the world like Superman. And he the Noble patriot.

You both self-righteously pretend to serve your country, but it is your own ego that you serve. (talking with Vova) Look at your slut, following you into the battle. ( Chuckles ) For what? To continue your legacy of hypocrisy? But here you are, disobedient, a man without a country, without a friend. Who are you now? You are nothing.

Vova: She is not my slut Putin. She's my wife. She is someone's daughter. She is someone's friend. She is someone's mother. Let her go do to me as you please but let her go.

Putin: She was your wife?

Vova: Yes she's my wife.

Putin: If I let her go. What are you then?

Me: We are more than you'll ever be, because we know what it is to love and be loved, unlike a narcissistic sadist like you who gets off on other people's pain because he can't feel anything for himself. Biden was wrong about you. You're no monster. You're just a low-level thug with delusions of grandeur. ( Clacking ) Take this gun. Take it! Take the gun! Take it! He shouts at Vova. Vova takes it as instructed.

Putin: You shoot your wife in the heart, or I shoot you. ( Breathing heavily )

Vova: If I pull this trigger, you're just gonna kill me, too.

Putin: Maybe not

Me: Vova he wants us both to suffer. And he'll get great joy out of knowing that he forced you to kill me. So if it's between you or me, there's no choice, Vova. You... You know what you have to do. But before you do I have something to tell him. And you will keep your mouth shut.

Putin: Stop! No funny business. I will kill both of you. Speak English or Russian no weird languages.

Me: I promise.

I walked over to Vova I kissed him and told him it will be ok.  We will wait for you and Rory. We will always love you. Smile fondly down on you. I could see the confusion on his face till he looked down at my hand on my belly.

Vova: You are pregnant? (His eyes filling with tears.) I'm going to be a father again? I thought.....
(I cut him off with a kiss)

Me: I am. Yes you are. I love you Vova tell our daughter how much I loved both of you. Tell her to be brave like her daddy.

Thank you for showing me true love. For showing me what I could truely be.

Putin: Enough!
He grabbed me and trew me across the floor. Then kicked me in the stomach a few times. He pulled me up by my hair to sit on my knees. Facing Vova.

Putin: Shoot her!

Vova: (looking at me) I can't shoot you, Jorji!

Putin:Let me help. On count of three, kill or be killed. One...

Me:Do it, Vova!

Vova: Baby, I can't.

Putin:Two...

Me: Listen to me, Vova. Pull the trigger!

Putin: Three!

Me: Shoot me now, Vova ...

A shot eccos. I land on my back. It hurts so much. And there's so much blood. I fall backwards laying on my back. As Putin comes and stands above me his foot putting pressure on the wound.

Putin: After you are dead, I am going to take small chunks out of your ueless husband and child slowly and painfully until they are begging for death. And then I will put their mouths on sidewalk and I will curb them until there is nothing left but mush. And then I will continue what I was doing before you and he tried to stopped me, and every person that I kill for the rest of my life, their blood will be on your hands, Jorja on you and Zelenskyy. Now how is that for delusions of grandeur?

( Gun clicking ) Vova is trying to shoot him. But the gun is empty.

Putin: What you think, I am stupid? That I give you more than one bullet then turn my back on you?

Vova: No, but I got you to come over here.

Vova kicks me my gun. I shoot Putin right between the eyes.
I groan in pain and start to cough blood.

Vova: Baby! Baby, hang on.

Me: Vova...

Vova: Baby, I'm coming! He pulls Putins corps closer. To get the key to the handcuffs.
( Handcuffs click )

Me: Vova....
( Grunts, Cough)

Vova: Jorji.....Baby...Listen to me. You're gonna be okay, all right? I need you to stay with me. I need you to fight, okay? You can't go. Jorji. JORJA!

I need you to hang on, all right, Baby? Stay with me.

I hear voices in the darkness. But I am floating away. It's so warm here. The pain is gone.

The special service has entered the building. 2 Run directly to check on Putin. 3 is with me and Vova. Then there is hands all over me strange hands, oh yes medics. Someone pulls Vova away from me so the medics can work. Vova hugs him hard and starts to cry on his shoulder.

Vova: I killed them both Sergey I killed them. I killed them! I killed them!

Sergey looks around him. He's thinking Vova is talking about me and Putin. Vova is hyperventilating now. He tries to calm him to the medical team can check him. 

Then just as suddenly Vova becomes calm. He takes a deep breath. Smiles. Tells Sergey "Thank you for being my best friend and for always having my back. Tell Emmanuel and Bridget I am sorry. Give my daughter a hug from us"

Sergey was still confused but just as he was about to ask. Vova hugs him. And goes limp in his arms. Sergey catch him just in time. "Vova!" he calls shaking him hoping he just passed out from hyperventilating.

It takes Sergey a minute to catch up but he realizes that the cardiovascular Machine on me en has flatlined the medical team is performing CPR and ready to shock. He frantically searches for a pulse on Vova.

But is unable to find one.
He's friend is gone.
The second medical team pull Vova from his arms. Begins their checks. And also try to resuscitate him.
