Erasing the Numbers

It was finally done, after forty-four long years it was over. Survivors of Vietnam and the cold war were finally being sent home, even after suffering such a defeat as the Tet Offensive, and onboard one train was Alex Mason and Viktor Reznov heading to Mason's home in Rancho Cordova, California.

(A/N: Look I know Mason comes from Fairbanks, Alaska but I thought Rancho Cordova would be nicer so just go with it)

"I promise Viktor. Alex began. Life in America is a bit different but me and my family will help every step of the way."

Reznov was brought back from his thoughts, "Family?"

"Oh right. He pulled out a photo. My wife Sarah, and my son and daughter Maxwell and Lilith."

Reznov was fascinated. "Ah, you have an impressive family Mason."

"Thanks." Mason said smiling.

"In fact, I had met many women in my time, but I was far too busy, I always believed my heart belonged to the service and protection of Russia. He said as remembered to what he once said to Kravchennko many years ago. 'As long as mother Russia has enemies, I will answer her call.' He sighed "I was only a soldier then, I thought Russia's pride was immortalized from the fall of Berlin, but it was tainted by the betrayal of Dragovich and Kravcenko and it died a long time ago, and I bear that shame"

Mason thought for a moment and came with a quick solution. "Well maybe you can teach my kids a few things, you taught me a lot since Vorkuta."

Reznov cheered up a little "Perhaps I can"

"Mason? Hudson said as he stepped in. you got a call waiting for you."

Mason went to the phone and answered. "Hello?"

"Alex is that you?" it was his wife Sarah

"yeah, it's me" Mason smiled.

"Oh thank God, I thought you were dead." she was so happy.

"I know, but listen. Mason began I'm on my way home and I'm bringing a friend."

"Oh, is it Frank?" she asked.

"No. He answered sadly. Woods didn't make it, I'll explain when I get there"

"Okay, see you soon." she said.

"Alright, bye"

He returned to his seat with a final thought. "Life in America is different, but it will be better Viktor I promise."
