Plan B

Plan B -P60-

After a good ol game of twenty questions we got ourselves together, now that we knew two people could speak English this was even better. I didn't know if anyone else could but I hoped so. I had picked up a little, so I could translate some of it.
Jelena, Alek, and Lev all left to get some stuff for Christmas. Jelena mentioned cooking when she was talking to them. Alek told us that he and his brother were going to go and find some lights. Fador was studying at a friend's house. So the only one here other than Nikolai who was a blood part of the family was Irina, who we all were in charge of babysitting.
You'd think it's cute when you see a little girl playing with her dolls. Well she was deffenatly not the average girl, she had mostly boy toys. Like those GI Joe action figures, and stuff as that. What was so cute about that? The fact she had named them all after relitives in the military. Heck there was one dressed as a pilot who she named Nikolai. I swear I think it was just so cute.
And you'd think it'd be funny to watch your friends playing with her, being the GI joes while she provided a voice for her Raggetty Ann doll. Well yes, watching Nikolai play with her neice was just adorible, but the fact he talked Ghost, Roach, and Price into it made it better. They would've gotten Soap to join in, but he descided to just watch from the couch. I and Heatstroke were sitting around just to watch as well. Heatstroke passed out on the recliner, and I had my head rested on Soap's shoulder.
Nikolai was talking in mostly Russian, but Price and Ghost were keeping their normal tones. Roach didn't say anything. Soon Irina got up and tugged on my shirt and pointed to the guys as they fiddled around with outfits. I figured she wanted me to join or something. So I stood up and came over, when I sat down Irina passed me an action figure. And I wondered why she hadn't called in Soap.
I'll tell you the highlights of this little game. Ghost pretended his action figure was superman or something, Price had his act like a stiff James Bond, Roach died by a rag doll, Irina's rag doll tackled Roach's action figure and he just left after that. I, on the other hand, just walked in circles. Don't ask me why, okay fine, I didn't know what I could do.
When we were done, I sat back down on the couch next to Soap, but Irina crawled into my lap. Giving me these big innocent eyes, I can't express how adorible that looked. Okay even though I'm in the military, I still have a soft spot for cute things, so don't judge. After a bit she fell asleep there and I brought her to her room and tucked her in.
Ghost had taken up the couch trying to reajust his mask, I could tell he didn't like people grabbing it. And soon found his sunglasses on teh endtable. Price was zoned out, just staring at the far wall. I'm sure if there was a TV in here these boys would be glued to the screen.
THe door shut and everyone jumped, but calmed to see it was Nikolai's family. Alek looked over at me and smiled, "Hey Alex?"
I returned the grin," Yeah?"
"Could you pick up Fador from his friends?" He asked. "It's just down the road. But it's horribly cold out."
"Sure thing," I answered then was tossed some car keys. I went into the car and sat in the drivers seat. Weird when it isn't like the cars with the driver seat on the left side. But I turned the keys in the ignition and drove off to pick up Nikolai's nephew.

(Fador)
"No way, dude!" Ivan gasped. We were in his bedroom, he was on the bed laying on his stomach, while I was on his couch that was on the other side of the room. "Are you sure these guys are Task Force? I hear they got whipped out!"
"I'm not kidding!" I claimed. "Uncle Nikolai works with them. Along with the other loyists. He knows where they're hiding out. Or were anyways."
"What do you mean?" He now was sitting up.
"Their safehouse was invaded," I explained. "So that's all I know. Other than the fact that they're staying for Christmas."
"No way!" Ivan was in awe. I mean he was a military junky. Never anything impressed him more than warfare and guns. He just was all for it. "Can I come over sometime?"
"I'll have to ask." I sighed before Ivan's mom came in. Her hair was brown like Ivan's. But her dark eyes didn't match his green ones.
"Fador," SHe smiled. "Someone came to pick you up. Said her name was Alex? Do you know anyone by that name?"
"Yah a friend of my Uncle's," I explained as I went out the door. Ivan followed me out to the mini van where sure enough was that woman with the black beanie with the skull patch. her brown hair was a little bit near shoulder length and her green speckled brown eyes gleamed at me. She was wearing a bulky winter coat but still manuverable. "Uh hi, ALex." I greeted as I opened the car door.
"Hey Fador, Your dad asked me to get you." She explained. "You have fun at your friend's?"
"Yah," I shrugged as she got driving. "We just did some math homework was all."
"Nothing wrong with that." She chuckled. "So are you gonna help you grandma with Christmas cookies or something?"
"Nah," I sighed. "That's normally an Irina thing."
"I see." She replied slowly. We were already pulling up in the driveway. When we got back inside I studied the faces of these Task Force members once more. Something about Simon kind of creeped me out. ANd I was the one who was all for horror movies.
