Tatiana sat in the passenger seat as John drove them up towards the airport garage. The girl grinned at the man who opened the gates, John already knowing he was allowed through.
With a press of a button, John and Tatiana were able to drive freely through the lot. John first went into the garage, one of the workers pressing the button to open it so John could drive out and onto the pavement.
The girl sat back and watched as planes flew over them, John occasionally making sharp turns which would make her laugh, her father looking over at her every once in a while. But when they started to rapidly approach a trio of mac trucks, Tatiana's eyes widened.
So when John pressed the breaks, they were in very close proximity towards the truck. "Shit." Tatiana says which made John chuckle. "What're you thinking for dinner?" John questions as he drives out back onto the main road.
"I'll cook." Tatiana says which made John hum. "Don't burn our house down, please." John says from the driver's seat. "Rude." Tatiana mutters which made John chuckle.

It was early morning, the sky was still dark out when Tatiana felt Daisy lay atop of her, whining. "Dais, it's too early-" But Tatiana stopped herself when she heard the sound of people talking in Russian downstairs.
"Go to dad." Tatiana mumbles as she rushed to her tapestry, moving it to reveal a safe room. John had always wanted to protect Tatiana, so he built her a safe room within her bedroom. Tatiana opened her window as a diversion, then rushing into the small room.
The girl sighed in relief, but tensed up when she heard her door slam against the backwall. The voice of the Director kicked in, but if they were able to get in her room, she knew something happened to her dad.
"Where's the bitch?" A voice rang out, Tatiana covering her mouth as a harsh glare set on her face. "She's not here." Another voice spoke as they turned towards the window.
"She got out." A voice spoke with finality, Tatiana sitting back as she listened. She heard them stomp downstairs, hearing the sound of her father's car starting and peeling away.
Tatiana opened the door cautiously, running downstairs in fear. "Pa?" Tatiana questions as she turned the corner, seeing her father laying in a bloody mess, the dead body of Daisy in front of him. "Dad!" Tatiana shouts as she kneeled down, feeling his pulse, then turning to her dog.
"Oh my, Dais." Tatiana says as she held the limp body of the small dog in her hands, the blood from her fur covering her hands. "What did they do to you, my sweet girl." Tatiana says as she held the dog's body in her hands, grabbing a small blanket and laying her on it.
When the girl walked back downstairs, she saw John sitting up. "Is she?" John questions, Tatiana nodding sadly. "Yeah." Tatiana says as the man stood up, the sun beginning to rise in the sky.
