Meanwhile in San Francisco, the life went peacefully for Charlie now finally had a family. It was a beautiful day and Charlie decided to take a walk through the streets of the city. As he passed in an alley, he greeted his old friends when he was a stray and stopped at a shop to fix a Mercedes arrived and parked in front of the shop. Charlie approached intrigued and noticed that the car went down two people and a baby girl who reminded him much Anne-Marie, only this had red hair. Some people are fierce and began to speak of those people.

"It is he! Look is the famous carpenter came here from Nome with family! "

"You know that was convened by the Mayor in person? He is skilled in all, it can build and repair anything! Who knows how much they will pay! "

A lady pointed to the red-haired girl.

"And have you seen his daughter? Adorable that is equal to his mother and is a love! "

"What's his name?" Asked a man who had arrived at that moment.

"It's called Rosy, look how elegant!"

Charlie curiously approached the little girl began to stroke it very gently and Charlie felt like it was Anne-Marie and tried to touch it suffered a huge pleasure. Suddenly the mother called Rosy who came with his parents to the store where they waited for the mayor and began to speak. Charlie came home where he found Sasha at the door waiting for him.

"Hello, where have you been?" He asked.

"To take a walk" Charlie said absently.

"Did you see that family who came here from Nome? Alaska is very far from here. "

"Yeah I know but confesses: Rosy you like that little girl?".

"It got me back in mind Anne-Marie, about where it will be now? I miss him ... "

Suddenly he heard David shouting: "Mom, Dad! Come and see you soon! "

Charlie and Sasha along with the boy's parents rushed into the kitchen where the television, a journalist spoke visibly frightened: "America has declared his innocence on the attack this morning in Moscow with the aim to kill the prime minister but despite statements, on the site of the attack was found a crest American and many other clues that affect us. Russia did not want to listen to the reasons of our president, and now it seems to be preparing to attack our nation, therefore advise citizens to remain calm and hope to avoid the worst. "

David and his parents were petrified and Charlie gasped. Sasha asked, "But who could have never done such a thing?"

"I do not know but we hope that does not happen anything wrong."

Balto and Jenna were listening to the radio without missing a word announcer. "Balto" Jenna whispered, "I'm afraid, is Rosy in San Francisco and could be a place affected if Russia attacks us."

"You do not have to say even as a joke!" Scolded Balto.

"The situation is too glowing is better if we go for a walk so we get distracted."

"Good idea".

As the two walked through the streets of the city, people did nothing but talk about the war and what happened, now the news had spread everywhere.

Suddenly they saw the two Kodi racing and in the meantime all the people poured into the streets in terror. "Dad! Mom! Where were you? Did you hear what happened? Come early! ".

The trio walked to a bar, crowded with people where the radio broadcast the latest news: "The Russian army has penetrated into our territory through Mexico and is now going back to Washington."

People gasped in terror while all listened to the radio. Someone shouted: "War is war broke out."

"I Have Not! How are we going? They will kill us all! We have no defenses strong enough! We will massacre! ".

The radio went on: "The US government is preparing a line of attack and a defense but for now with little success. According to the route of the Russians, interested cities seem to be Houston, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago and San Francisco. "

Balto and Jenna were petrified.

"I Have Not! Rosy is over there! How are we going? "Shouted Jennna.

"We'll go!" Said Balto.

"How?"

"For sure they will send reinforcements aircraft from here and we will embark secretly on board."

"I'm coming with you! I want to help! "Said Kodi.

"No son, you stay here, I need someone to mind the other while your mother and I we did not."

"But ...".

"I do not want to hear stories! You're an adult and you know are on your own and then it's too dangerous! I'm doing it for you! ".

"All right, Dad."

After a moment of madness, the Mayor was able to restore order in the city and announced that he would send the military in San Francisco as he planned Balto and that same evening, he and Jenna were ready to board the plane in secret.

"Please be careful," said Kodi.

"Do not worry we will return sooner than you think," she assured him Jenna.

"I love you," she said with tears in his eyes and ran to the main road and disappeared behind an alley.

Balto and Jenna boarded the plane and headed towards San Francisco, hoping to arrive in time even if it would take all night.

Charlie had awakened early that morning because he was awakened by a sound. He left the house and noticed that although it was very early, many people were already out in the street and they all spoke of being woken up by a sound.

In the sky he saw dots that descended on the city and closer they came, were more visible, they were soldiers with parachutes. Charlie did not move and did not understand at first. One of the soldiers landed in front of him and a passer-by came up and asked, "Excuse me, but what's going on?".

The military response, picked up an AK-47 and riddled shots man.

All the people screamed and ran from all sides and Charlie knew immediately that those soldiers were Russians and ran faster indoors while many other military landed nearby and were firing on the crowd terrified.
