Everything in Italics is in Russian, in all chapters.
Dimitri POV
We went straight to the airport and booked a flight in two hours, so we could be in Russian two days before Abe and Rose. Plus we needed to get back up, in case Rose made any other friends along the way. Christian and I needed someone to get to know Rose personally, so we learn where her next move would be, and get there before. I couldn't think of anyone better than Adrian Ivaskov. Finally after 14 hours we landed in Moscow, Russia. I'd told Christian my plan on the, and now he was pissed with me.
I didn't understand why, Adrian moved to Russia when he was 10. Adrian and I had become friends a little after that, but when Christian came along him and Adrian connected instantly. They were always together, I mean we were all friends, but they were like twins. Then one day Adrian and Christian hated each other. Christian and I left Russia, while Adrian stayed. I still keep in touch with him a little, but not much. For the past year we lost touch, and him also being a CIA agent too, it was hard to track him down.
"Ok so after a few calls I finally found Adrian" I told Christian. He just rolled his eyes, picked up his bag, and went to hail a cab.
"Wait" I called, "Don't you want to know where he is."
"Not really" he called. I just shook my head and accepted it.
"Take us to Ritz- Carlton Hotel" I told the cab driver in Russian. When we got to the hotel I went straight to the front desk, while Christian waited in the lobby. After asking the manger about 50 times, in Russian, if Adrian Ivaskov was here, I still got a no. Walking back to Christian, I sighed.
"I guess he's not here." Christian rolled his eyes and walked over there.
"Wait Christian..," but I stopped there, not wanting to cause a scene. He came back a few minutes later with a card key to a suite on the top floor.
"How did you get this" I asked, but he was already in the elevator. As we reached the top floor I heard the music blasting. We got to the room, but the door was already open. Walking In a drunk woman in a very tight dress walked up to us and tried to rub herself against me.
"Ma'am do you know where Adrian Ivaskov is" I asked her.
"Who" she asked. I looked at Christian expectantly, because obviously he knew something I didn't.
"He means Jet" Christian said.
"Oh, over there" she replied walking away. I completely forgot about Adrian's fake name, he used it while partying.
"Hey Jet,"I shouted. He turned around smiling.
"Hey Cowboy" he shouted back "hold on." Then he turned off the music and shouted for everyone to get out. A groan went through the crowd, but everyone listened. As soon as everyone was gone he hugged me.
"Long time no see, my friend..." he paused when he saw Christian,
"Sparky, looking good." Christian just looked at him and walked off.
"Er Sparky's kind of mad right now"
"Right can we hurry this up I have a date to keep" He said. running off to get dressed in better clothes.
"Ok I need help tracking a girl" I said.
"Oh please, I know tons of girls who would love a piece of you, you don't have to stalk them" Adrian said from his bedroom. It took everything in me not to face palm.
"It's not like..." I tried saying, but apparently he was on a roll.
"I mean with your hair and eyes and muscles, plus your Russian. So you'd have panties dropping like that" Adrian snapped his fingers to prove his point.
"Adrian, that's not..."
"Look we can talk about this later when I get home ok."
"Adrian" I tried again, but he was already gone. I sighed and sat down in a chair.
This was going to be a long few weeks.
Christian POV
When Dimitri told me about involving Adrian, I have to say I was pissed, but not at Dimitri. At Adrian, the bastard. I know it sounded mean, but fuck people, he devised that and worse. I actually missed when we were friends, but that big of a betrayal couldn't be ignored. He took every ounce of trust I gave him and tore it in half. I've never told anyone what he did. not even Dimitri knows. I Laying on Adrian's couch pretending to be asleep so I could avoid a conversation with Dimitri. I know he thought I was mad at him and that made me feel bad. I just couldn't bring myself to talk, because I knew if I'd loose all my emotions. My phone started ringing, I looked at my screen and it said "Baby." Getting up I walked into the other room and answered it.
"Hey Baby" my girlfriend said. I know I flirted with other girls, but that was for show. No one knew I had a girlfriend, well no one except Adrian. That bastard.
"You there" Lissa asked, after I didn't answer.
"Yah, just thinking about Adrian" I replied.
"Adrian Ivaskov" She asked
"Yep"
"Why" Yah she knew I hated him, and so did she.
"Dimitri and I are doing a job in Russia, and Dimitri decided we needed Adrian's help, so we tracked him down, but of course he's been absolutely no help whatsoever" I said.
"Why don't you just tell Dimitri what happen" She suggested
"Because I don't like thinking about it" I said.
"I know neither do I, but you should still tell me" Lissa pushed.
"Just drop it" I yelled.
"I'm sorry" she said quietly.
"No, baby, I'm sorry I just... he was my best friend" I whispered.
"I know look I just finished a job in Turkey I could be there in a few hours and help you guys with surveillance or something" Liss offered.
"Really, because you don't have.."
"Yes I do, don't worry I'll be fine"
"You know I love you right" I said.
"I know I love you too" she said hanging up.
I didn't know how this was going to go, but I did know if Adrian stepped out of line with Lissa I'd kill him.
