In This World

We never truly realize how much we love or care for someone until their gone...

"What did you do to Ivan?!" Volgin felt a sudden lurch of panic hit hm as he stared at the intruder. There was no telling what an apprentice of the Boss would do to the other. For all he was aware of, Ivan could have been dead. A bullet threw his head and stuffed into some small cramped space. That notion alone spurred him on.

"Where is he?" He snapped, sending another bolt of electricity through the male's body. The only response he got however was one of pain. A loud howl that emitted from the man beneath him. He was sure that he wasn't going to get any answers out of the kid, the Boss had trained him too well, but at that very moment not of it matter to Volgin. As long as he could get his pain and anger out, unleashing it onto the other...as long as he brought pain onto the one whom brought it to Ivan, he was fine. It was an eye for an eye, so to speak.

"That is enough." The Boss muttered, the male finally falling unconscious after another one of Volgin's full throttle blows. There was still the bright flashes of blue, as the shock waves rolled over him, small muscle spasms still being elicited from the unconscious body.

Volgin growled from between clenched teeth, turning a glare onto the women, he blamed her. This was her fault. She had trained him. However he didn't say anything else to her as he turned towards the guards that had started to make their way toward them. "I want every man searching this place from top to bottom! I don't care what it takes, I want Raikov found now!" Their was a loud screech as the man's lightning powers began to clash with all the electronics around him. He fists balled together as his teeth cracked under the pressure of his clenched jaw. His men quickly moved to cover their ears as their radio's emitted the same ear piercing noise.

"Volgin, calm down." The Boss placed a hand onto the man's shoulder, only causing the man's anger to focus onto her."Calm down? This is your fault!" He shoved her hand away. "My lover is gone...missing! And you tell me to calm down." He snapped. "I'll calm down once Ivan has been-"

"We found the major, sir!" Volgin turned to stare at one of his soldiers. A look of relief and panic still evident in his face.

"That was fast..." Surely, that wasn't a good sign. The body hadn't been hidden well enough, like the other didn't care.

"He was in one of the locker's, sir." The man stated and Volgin turned towards The Boss.

"How original." He scoffed at her. Some teaching. He turned back, trying his hardest to keep a normal pace as he headed out into the hall. It was a pain to actually keep his voice steady. "Take me to him." Was his gruff order, his calm lasting the entire walk, it was quickly gone, however, as his eyes caught sight of the man who was now lying on the floor, several of his men surrounding him. "Is he..." Volgin quickly looked the male over as he bent down, no visible wounds to be seen right away.

"No, just sleeping, sir."

Volgin let out a sigh, a breathe he hadn't realized he'd been holding. His eyes spotted something silver peeking out just from beneath the male's arm. A silver tranquilizer. He wasted no time in plucking it from the other, though he was more then certain that the thing had long since ceased in effecting the boy. Volgin then turned his attention back towards the blonde after he flicked the item away, pushing the others hair from his face. Just as blue eyes peeked at him from under fluttering eyelashes.

And if we are lucky...those who we lost will return to us...

"Volgin...?" Ivan squinted his eyes up at the man, a smile crossing the man's usually sneering features, well...as much of a smile as Volgin could manage.

"Come on, I'll bring you to my room." The man stated, scooping the other up into his arms.

But sometimes...

The Boss on the other hand, had not left Snake's side until the guards had finally returned and taken the unconscious male away. It was only then that The Boss finally made her way into the locker room, just in time to see Volgin lifting Ivan into his arms.

"What a touching scene." The Boss smirked to herself, before she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small weathered picture.

We learn that most people never do...

The Boss' smirk fell as her had ghosted over the picture, a picture she spent nights staring at. Hours upon hours of nothing but staring. Of regretting. Of Sorrow.

Especially...

"I'm sorry...Sorrow."

In this world.
