Chapter 22: Delayed Flight ,Part 1

Alexei: Boys , here we are , welcome to Vnukovo airport , still in one piece.

Bogdan (stepping out of the truck): And , what do we do now ?

Alexei: Well , I received letter from McKenzie before I left , he says that we should meet a man Kiril Sasha . He knows what to do.

Sasha: I don't know what to do .

Alexei: What ?

Sasha: I am Kirill Sasha.

Alexei: Oh, nice to meet you .

They shook hands.

Sasha: What do we do next ?

Alexei: You are from here , shouldn't you know what to do ? For example , are those civilians I see ?

Sasha: It is an airport what did you expect ? We both military and civies share it. Now , Bogdan, what did you talked with Stalin ?

Bogdan: We should talk to the Administration Officers or something . Let's check the terminal at the main building.

They walked in the main building . The place was fortified. Everywhere you looked , you could have seen barbed wire and sand bags.

Bogdan: What's happening here ?

Sasha: These are placed in case of bandit raids.

A stranger in combat uniform shouted to them in Russian.

Strange (in russian): Who goes there ?

Bogdan: The fuck is he saying ?

Sasha (in Russian): We are the 6th Fire-team of the Red Square ! Formed just yesterday on 30th may 2045.

Stranger (in Russian): Wait , that voice ... SASHA ? IS THAT YOU ?!

Sasha (in Russian): No, I am retard trying to get into Alabama , of course it's me . Igor , I thought I'd never see you again !

Igor (in Russian): Get over here , I want to see you, commrade !

Bogdan: Do you know this guy ?

Sasha: Yeah, let me see what I can pull out from him .

They walked up an escalator and jumped over the sand bags blocking it.

Igor (laughing excessively): Sasha , old friend , what are you doing ! I haven't seen you ages !

Igor looked like a 45 years old man , he was bald and you could smell votka of him from three kilometers away.

Sasha (in Russian): Blin, you told me you moved in to defend Tula !

Igor (in Russian): I did , so , how is Stalin ?

Sasha ( in russian ): He finally threw me into a squad , the bastard , I was lucky to find a Romanian coming from the states apparently , weir story , the guy over there , see him ? His lead died and he put him in charge of me and Ivan. I saved his ass on the field and I got rewarded after all. He is weird , he survived being thrown from an explosion into hard concrete just by breaking his arm and few hour later his mother killed herslef and he got his arm back in no time. Plus , remember the "Humans with fur" as we used to call them ? SE that over there ? Can you believe this shit ? I barely could . That is why he initially left the country , he found that.

Igor (in Russian): Blin, that is a long one , I have to admit. What is your mission , anyways , what brings you to the airport ?

Sasha (in Russian): We need to get to Stalingrad . We found the romanian's old g friend apparently and he brought us here.
