The Siberian Mountains is an unforgiving place

The Siberian Mountains is an unforgiving place. My plane is blown to shit and I gotta figure out how to get to London to catch my flight. What the fuck! I think to myself. How did I get here? Well...eh heh. Funny question to ask as I'm stuck in these mountains.

"Gun down!" I yell in Russian to the men in front of me. They ignore my warning, so I let my gun sing in the crowd of them. Crowd vs. one. I hit several men at the same time and take off down the dark alley on my motorcycle.

Climbing up the wall, I just need to get to the building. The building...up ahead. Shit, I'm falling. I'm hit.

I let the climbing device hold me up from hitting the ground. I could've died just then. I pull myself up and pull another gun out of my waistband. Adrenaline pumping in my veins, I let the bullets hit the remainder of them. Making sure I was safe, I make it to the building.

"You need to get outta here!" Heather yells at me and throws me my equipment. I barely even think about what I just went through before I'm headed underground. I gotta get outta Russia, I think to myself. Zooming under the city, I can hear them looking for me. Adonis better be glad I love his ass, I think with a head shake and a smirk.

Several hours later, I don't know how much time has passed, my watch don't work down there for some reason. I end up at the port for the helicopter...and it's not ready! What the fuck!

With no time to waste, I grab the keys from them and hop in. And hoped for the best. I'm coming home. Period.

I'm flying over the mountains.

"Aye nigga! Where you at? You good!" I can hear Adonis's voice. Oh my God! I think, choking up.

"Yeah! I'm coming home brudda."

"Say less bruh. I love you man."

"We all love you fam...be safe outchea, blood." I heard Aries then. These niggas really bout to make me cry right now!

Before I could respond, I'm losing signal. I'm losing signal. Everything...fuck!

...I'm gonna make it. Just a little more. The clock in the heli start ticking. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Adrenaline pumping again as I notice I'm running out of gas. Accelerate. Accelerate. Just a little more. I take my eyes away just for a second...

BOOM!

I'm falling. Falling. Into the snow below me. My eyes are closed. I open them. I'm not dead. I grab my backpack and make a run for it. I'm cold. Miserable. Frustrated and tired but I'm coming home.

I know they have a hit on my head but right now, I'm going home.

I hijack my way onto a train and hide out until the train stops in London and I hop off. Bethany has a car for me.

"How you doing? We almost lost you several times out there brudda."

"I'm still here B." I smile, getting on the private plane. For the first time, I close my eyes. And the first face I see is a darker skinned woman with a beautiful smile. She's rubbing her belly in front what looks like a beach.

I smile to myself.

BEEP BEEP! BEEP!
