Balto didn't spend much time in his home, he threw some spare food and chlothes ans a thermos into his pack without paying to much attention to his surrondings because his mind was alrady thinking about the route he would take to find the lost team. When he got home and explained his plan to Boris the Russian went on and on trying to reason with him. When he was finished he put his backpack back on and slung his rifle over his shoulder and head out the door to find it had stopped snowing for the time being. While Balto was filling up his trusty matchine with gasoline. When he was done Balto strapped some spare gasoline and blankets and spare food and even a tool box for when he found the team into his own durable plastic sled he used for trapping and tied it behind his snow mobile and was about to take off when Boris stopped him.
Balto looked at boris for a second before saying. "B oris start up your plane and follow me, I have got to show you something.' The old Russian paused to consider then nodded and gave Balto a two wat radio so the two could commuiniacate. Balto and Boris left the house at the same time and Boris followed Balto to Nome. During the trip boris was still trying to reason with Balto.
"Balto please listen to me, don't go crazy on me now. This is foolisheness, you go out there and you will die like a dog." Balto ignored Boris's warnings as he started getting into details about all the possible dangers. Balto pulled into town and ran to Rosies window and was glad she was still there.
"Alright Boris land so you can see this." Boris did as he was told and the second he touched down Balto opened the pilots door and yaked Boris out then half dragged him to the windoe while he was still cursing in russian.
"No brains at all, might as well be talking too…" Boris stopped in mid sentence when he saw little Rosie in the window, she looked gravely ill and like she didn't have a lot of time. Her immune sytem was fighting the desease the best as it cold but it just wasn't mature enough to put up a good fight. Rosies life was dimming and the sight of it yanked Boris's heartsrings something terrible.
"so lets go get the medicine" Boris said walking to his plane.
"wait a minute, now youre coming?" balto asked
"spending days in bitter cold, facing wild animals, risking death from exposure?" the Russian chuckled with joy "like holiday in old country." And he got inside his plane and started it up. Balto wasn't about to let his mentor throw his life away when muk and luk still needed him.
"the second the storm gets bad yo are turning around, no argument." Balto said over the two way radio an he could almost see Boris roll his eyes.
The two took off east twards white capped mountins leaving nome in their wake and in the midst off all the gloom and depression no one took notce of Balto's and Boris's presence, all but one that is and was frozen with anticipation as she realized their home was not in that direction.
"Balto?"
