Hey People. Been awhile, right? Sorry. Between School and other stuff I haven't had much time. Plus, I haven't gotten in the mood to write. Sorry... I'll try to be better about updating.

Oh, and wrote a new fic. If I upload it it'll be rated M, and will me a multi-chapter Fic. Should I upload it?

After Alfred was almost completely healed, or so Yao had said he was, Ivan began making plans to find and visit the old building Yao thought the dog fights were being held in.

Ivan had spent hours on the computer trying to find the place. But, it seemed they were invisible. Figures as much, seeing the dog fights were illegal. He'd almost given up hope when Alfred had suggested to look under the name "Howling wolf". Alfred had said he had seen a sign that had said that on it.

When Ivan looked up the name, a website for a bar popped up. He read everything, but it was seemingly just a bar or so the website made it seem. Right as Ivan was going to give up, however, he found a small picture of a wolf on the bottom of the screen.

He clicked on it, and the bar was gone, in its place was hundreds of pictures of dogs. Some, before a fight, after, and some during the fight. Bloody and gross. Who'd pay to see this?

He felt sick to his stomach and was about to exit off the website, until he saw the picture of Alfred as a cat. He clicked on the picture. There were a good thirty pictures of him. Ivan growled at the pictures. Alfred, his Alfred, was curled up in the corner of his cage. No food, not water, not blanket or anything. Also, there was pictures of him fighting.

Ivan clicked off the website, cleared his history and turned the computer off and put it away, right as Alfred walked into the room. He was in a captain America T-shirt, and ripped jeans. He was eating an apple, not a burger, strange. "Went on a diet?"

Alfred looked at the apple. "Oh, I didn't want a burger, plus I didn't want to cook or make you drive me to get one, so I just grabbed on apple. I hope Yao won't mind."

"He won't. He said after all, to make ourselves at home." Ivan stated, standing and walking over to Alfred. He took the apple from Alfred and took a quick bite, before handing it back.

Alfred laughed, rasing the apple to his own mouth to take a bite. He crewed the bite slowly, watching Ivan pace around the room. "Something the matter, Ivan?"

Ivan turned to look at Alfred, watching Alfred take another bite. "I found the Howling Wolf's website."

"And?" Asked Alfred.

"It was seemingly a just a bar," Alfred's face fell slightly, so Ivan quickly finished his sentence, "However, after finding a wolf in the corner of the page I found the rest of the site. Dog fights, bloody, nasty dog fights. So, you're right, the Howling Wolf is where the dog fights are being held. They take place after hours of the bar, and the days its closed, under the building, in th basement. Or, so the web page said."

Alfred listened closely, taking the last bite of the apple. "So, what now? We know where it is, but what of it? I mean what can we do, call the cops and have them raid the place."

Ivan frowned, "Or we could go down find the dogs and let them free on those evil men, see how they like getting attacked by huge monstrous dogs."

"I like your idea better," Alfred admitted, throwing the apple core in th trash ben near to him. "But, how are we going to get to the dogs? If I remember right they have tight security, the people we come to the fights can't leave the seat they're given."

Ivan bite his lip, "I don't know, I'll figure out something, maybe we can make a distraction, get the guards attention on that and then sneak out of our seats and into the back."

Alfred leaned against the wall nearest to Ivan, "That could work, but another small problem, what if someone recognizes me? Like that guy from the hospital, or someone like that?"

"Easy, I'll protect you, and you ran away. Whatever happens, I'll be sure to keep you safe. And, after we're done with the dog fighting bastards, we'll go into the science lab and take them down too."

Alfred smiled, that happy, wide smile, Ivan loved so very much. Ivan couldn't help himself, he walked over and pulled Alfred against himself, holding him tightly, but not enough to hurt his wounded side.

"I missed that smile."

Alfred laughed, "If everything works out, then you'll be seeing it for a long, long time." The blond American nuzzled his face into the soft fabric of Ivan's shirt.

Ivan, smiled down at Alfred, and ran a hand through his soft blond hair. "This plan will work. I know it, trust me."

"I do trust you, Ivan." Alfred admitted in a tiny voice.

At that moment Yao walked into the room, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Ivan turned toward Yao, "No, it's fine, but you best have a reason to be here." Ivan crossed his arms playfully and Alfred mimicked the pose, laughing quietly to himself.

Yao laughed softly as well, "Well, I've got clearance to let you into the lab anytime next week. I hope that works."

Ivan dropped his arms, nodding, "Perfect. We'll get the dog fights stopped and then I'll check into the experiments and see if I can stop those too."

Yao nodded slowly, "Of course, everything should work out perfectly."

Ivan walked over to the window and looked out, "Yeah, but it's not fool-proof. We'll also need cages and muzzles for those dogs. Oh, and a way to move them. We'll take them to an animal rescue, after we find out if any of them are like Alfred, of course."

Yao nodded, "Seems you've thought a good deal about this?"

Ivan chuckled softly, "Of course I have! I have to keep Alfred safe, if something happened to him, I'd never forgive myself. I'm still mad at myself about the wreck."

Alfred hummed, from where he stood near the door. "It wasn't your fault. It was the drunken driver, and then that mean guy from the dog fights."

Ivan turned back to the other two men in the room. "Still, I feel as though it was my fault."

Yao scoffed, "There was nothing you could have done to stop it. So forgive yourself and worry about Alfred here and now."

Rasing an eyebrow at Yao, Ivan laughed. "Okay, okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Ivan was dressed in a button up shirt and a pair of jeans. Alfred was in a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. It was better to look normal, they didn't want anyone to know why they were there. Alfred had a pair of sunglasses and a baseball hat to help hide himself.

Yao had found a moving truck and at least a hundred cages and muzzles to ship the dog. Thank God for the Chinese man's connections.

Ivan owed him, and if anything Ivan was good at returning favors.

They were getting ready to head out to the Howling Wolf. They'd party and drink, and then when the fight happens they try to blend in. Once they're in Yao will come in dressed as a cop, causing what they'd hope would be a riot of commotion. So, when everyone trying to get out home free, they'd move the dogs, and get the real cops here, after they're long gone of course.

Like Ivan had said before, it wasn't fool-proof, so many things could go wrong.

But, they had to do something.

Alfred spoke from his place at the window, "So we're sure it's tonight? The fights?"

Ivan looked up from his computer, "Yes, Alfred. I'm looking at the website now. The bar closes early and then the fights start."

Alfred nodded slowly, as Iavn shut this laptop and stood up. "Come on, lets head out. Let's have some fun, and stop some nasty dog fights."

Alfred grinned, "Of course! Let's get a move on."

So, Ivan walked down the stairs, Alfred right on his heels.

Yao's house was smaller than Ivan's, but bigger then most rich people's houses. Ivan looked around the oversized house that didn't compare to his. Ivan walked from the stairs to the door. He stopped long enough to grab a leather jacket off the coat rack and put it on, then threw Alfred a black hoodie.

After they'd put them on, they walked out into the cool air, and made their way to one of Yao's many cars. After all Ivan's car had been destroyed in that wreck.

Ivan climbed inside on the diver's side and Alfred into the passenger seat and buckled up quickly, better safe then sorry. Ivan followed his lead and did the same.

Ivan started the car, and smiled at the low purr. Figures Yao would only buy the best. He pulled out onto the quiet road and headed the way the website had said to go.

Yao would be there later in another car. Would he be in a police car? Alfred wondered to himself, staring out the window. Alfred hoped and prayed this plan would work, if not their lives could be on the line.

He looked over at Ivan, who was focused on the slightly busy road. His face was blank, and unreadable. Alfred hated when he got like this. "So...?" He prompted softly, looking out his window.

Ivan glanced over at Alfred, "Yes?"

Alfred cleared his throat, "If something goes wrong tonight I want you to know I love you. So much..."

Ivan sighed, "Alfred, nothings going to happen. I promise. But, if it bothers you this much, I love you too. But, please try to calm down. This will work."

Alfred stared out at the road, "Okay...Thank you, Ivan."

"You're welcome."

And, that was all that was said for a good while.

Ivan pulled in front of the "Howling Wolf". It was a large building, and you could hear the blaring music from where they'd parked.

Cars of all kinds were in front of the bar, and some people stood out in front, talking, smoking, or drinking. "Here we go." Alfred muttered, putting his sunglasses and hat in place.

Ivan looked over at him, nodded and then got out.

"Lets get this over with," Alfred breathed, stepping out of the car.

Cliff hanger. Sorry... But, I will try to update soon~

Bye~
