He walked into the cafe grateful to get out of the cold. He might be Russian be the weather was terrible today. He took a seat at one of the booths at the back of the cafe where few could see him and his boss when he showed up.
Like five minutes later, General Winter took a seat across from Ivan. "Hello Ivan how are you today?"
This guy scared Ivan. And almost no one could scare Ivan. "I'm good sir. What did you want to discuss with me?"
"Ah I'm glad a have a dedicated member like you. You know Richard Urusov?"
"The new government official."
"Yes, well, he has a daughter."
"Irina Urusov."
General winter was slightly shocked. "Ivan you've been doing your homework. Yes Irina Urusov. Well in short, I want to kidnap her. You my dear boy have the honor of being the kidnapper."
"I'm honored sir but what about the other guys we were using?"
"Well when we kidnapped that Irish guy they failed to collect the money. They claimed that it just disappeared." He made air quotes with his hands around the word 'disappeared'. "Plus it took them 2 years to send the ransom note to his son. I got rid of them. They were dumb and useless anyways." He finished with a disgusted look.
Ivan nodded. "When will I start?"
"Oh! Almost forgot!" General Winter pulled out a folder and handed it to Ivan. He took it and looked inside. He found a fake ID and instructions on when and what to do. He looked up but...
General Winter was gone.
Then a waitress came over and handed him a bottle of vodka.
"Um... I'm sorry but I didn't order this." Said Ivan confused.
"Your friend ordered it for you. Did he leave? I swear he was sitting here just a second ago." Said the waitress.
"Yeah he left. But I don't have any money."
"He already paid."
"OK then thank you." He smiled at her and he could have sworn he saw her shiver.
"Y-you're welcome." She walked away. Wow that man is creepy, she thought.

Ivan plopped on the couch at the mafia safe house. Toris walked into the living room and jumped like 3 feet into the air.
"Oh! Ivan it's just you." He said.
Someone else then walked into the room behind Toris. "Hello Ivan."
Ivan jumped. That voice.
"Oh hi Natalya. How are you today?" He said slightly shaken.
"I missed you Ivan." She said. But it was in a more threatening tone not a sweet one like you might think.
"I... uh... Missed you too."
"Um... I think I'll go get me some coffee." Toris then left and went to the kitchen grateful to get away from Natalya. That girl was crazy about Ivan but he didn't understand it. Ivan was somewhat creepy... although so was she.
"Toris will you bring me some vodka?" Called Ivan.
"Uh... Sure". He responded.
"What did the boss want?" Natalya asked sitting real close to Ivan, which made him uncomfortable.
"He... Uh... Wants me to kidnap the new government official's daughter Irina Urusov."
Natalya nodded. "Yeah I had to kill those other guys. Seriously the money just 'disappeared'?"
Toris then walked back in the room with his coffee and the bottle of vodka for Ivan.
"Here you go." Ivan smiled and took a sip.
Toris then left the room.
"Hey Toris! Get everyone in here we need to discuss our next job." Commanded Ivan.
He was almost out of the room when he turned around. "Yes sir." He then left to get the others.
