Ivan's POV:
The street lights passed us as I drove. I looked over at the passenger seat, my sweet Sunflower was sleeping peacefully.

"God.. What the hell did you get us into..?" I rubbed Alfred's head. "At least I have you.." I smiled.

My smile quickly faded, "But you can never know what I got myself into.."
~
Eventually, we made it to the next town over. "Alfred!" He didn't budge. "Alfred! Wake up! We're here!"

Alfred's POV:
"WAH!" My head shot straight up. Ivan jumped back, "Ah! Holy shit! You scared me!"

I rubbed my head, "Ow.. Everything hurts..."

"Well suck it up big baby. I've been driving for like, 2 hours." Ivan crossed his arms. "Speaking of that, where the hell are we?" I asked.

"We're at a clothes store. Come on." He dragged me out of the car. "Wait! I'm still wearing a hospital gown with no shoes! I'm not going in a store!" I wailed.

"Suck it up!" He dragged me into the store. I immediately stopped screaming. My eyes sparkled at all the clothes. "Woah.. Can you even afford this stuff?" My mouth hung open at the sight.

Ivan held up a credit card, "Well, with what I have left." I squealed and began shopping.
~
"Your total will be 108.75." The cashier unenthusiastically said. Ivan groaned and swiped his credit card.

The cashier was about to give us our bags, but stopped. "Holy shit. You two killed that one guy in the strip club! I knew I recognized your faces!"

"Shit! Run!" Ivan yelled as he grabbed the bags. We bolted out the door and jumped in the car.

"Drive!" I screamed as people chased after us. Ivan started the car frantically and began speeding away.

"Jesus! We can't go anywhere anymore!" I threw the bags in the backseat. "Fuck." Ivan slammed his hands on the wheel.

"This is fucking bullshit!" I threw a hissy fit. "Calm down.. I'm sure we can get out of this somehow.." Ivan reassured me.

"Unless you plan on moving to fucking Mexico or something, I don't know how we'll get out of this!" I placed my head in my hand as I looked out the window. "I do have some relatives in Russia.." Ivan replied.

"I was kidding." I looked at him, "I just wish I could see my mom one more time.."

"I mean, I could take you back to your house, but we would've traveled to this town for nothing.." He looked at me, then back at the rode.

"Please..?" I pleaded. He looked at my puppy eyes. "Ugh.. Fine! But when you get enough money, your gonna pay back the gas money!" He turned the car around and I clapped my hands excitedly.
~
When we finally got there, Ivan put a hand on my shoulder. "Alfie.. I-.. Your mom is probably dead.."

"I know.. But if there's a slim chance she's still alive.. I need to see her." I opened the car door and stepped out.

Me and Ivan walked up to the door. I put my hand on the door to knock, but when I put weight on it, it opened.

Me and Ivan gave a suspicious look to each other. He pushed the door open all the way.

The stench hit me like a wave as I walked in. The smell of rotting flesh and iron from blood does not mix well.

I plugged my nose as I yelled, "Mom?! Mom?! Are you here?!" I heard a skitter from across the room. Ivan must have also heard it because he put a hand over my mouth and ducked behind the couch.

I huddled closer to Ivan. My mind was racing with thoughts. 'What was that?! Was that a person?! The police maybe?! I don't wanna go to jail!'

The creature emerged from the shadows and stepped into the light. I could visibly see the gun in his hands.

He pointed it at Ivan's head, "Get up." I recognized the voice, but from where?

Ivan got up and stood tall. I jumped up and hugged Ivan. I could feel him shaking.

The man spoke up again, "Long time no see Mr. Braginsky and Mr. Jones."

And I finally remembered who he was.
