Dimitri didn't see Angela for a few days once they landed in New York. As a
result he spent much of his time exploring the city, riding the subway a
lot of places he went on his own and eating out a lot so he could meet
people. The people in the United States were so different here than in
Germany. Everyone was in a hurry to get everywhere, and all kinds of odd
things happened as a regular occurrence on the streets that hardly ever did
at home.
When he finally did see her she was talking to a young man of Chinese or Japanese descent. He found out from Sanchez and Davidoff that he was twenty- one and his name was Kijiro Kounos, and that he and Angela had been friends since his father worked for one of Hans's associates. He noticed from his perch down the hall that she laughed and smiled a lot more when with Kijiro, and the hard shell she'd worked hard on seemed to fall away.
Dimitri began for once in his time here to worry that Kijiro was after Angela and that perhaps their future was already set in stone. Perhaps, even, her father had met them together in hopes of them being married someday. He'd tried all he could to comfort her when she thought of her dead father and let her discover things about him as he discovered her. As he watched the quick-witted man of medium-muscular build and a sharp mind, along with slightly unruly black spiked hair and lively crystal blue eyes he saw something he was missing. It was experience. This Kijiro had known Angela for so long that he knew her secrets, what she liked and what she didn't.
But worst of all, Kijiro seemingly had no flaws. Angela was the only woman in the group but Kijiro never looked at any of the American city girls he saw on the streets or any woman he came in contact but her. He always had a good spirit and when he did get angry it was only in fun. Things that would irk and trouble Dimitri and the other men to death only seemed to fuel Kijiro's sense of humor. He was strong, but not overly so, and smart, as well as one of the faster men on the team. He knew still how to be a gentleman.
What so interested Dimitri in Kijiro was that a rumor had been passing around the barracks between Angela's soldiers. By now they'd found out her name, somehow, and the strange, curious rumor was that Kijiro and Angela were now engaged, and it was the first time she'd ever cried. Naturally, Dimitri knew better about the second half of that statement, but sadly he didn't doubt the first. He had to find out for himself.and fast.
