It took the boys ten minutes to get out of the Abbey, because of all the security measures. Then each one was given out some money, and Yuri, as a team captain, got a cellphone to contact Boris in case of some emergency.

When they where finally outside, the city started to wake up, and more and more people appeared on the street. Kids walking with their moms to school, teenagers with book bags and cellphones, women and men hurrying to work. Cars, cars and more cars.

The Demolition Boys where walking in the middle of the side walk. Yuri in front, Kai by his side, and Bryan behind, trying to look like he isn't with them. But it wasn't hard to guess they were all together. All three looked dangerous and cold. They had put on their usual faces after exiting the Abbey, and now people were keeping their distance from the fourteen-year-old boys.

Yuri started for the bus stop and the rest followed him.

"What bus are we getting on?" asked Kai. He had a guess , but wanted to check how well he remembered Moscow.

"Number 33" said Yuri. Kai's guess proved correct.

The bus stop was glass , with a cellphone commercial "Talk with Style" on the left side. About ten people were standing there. Yuri scanned the crowd, and walked over to the nearest middle-aged lady.

"Izvinite, cogda bil poslednii trolleibus? (Excuse me, when was the last bus?)"

The woman looked at him, and then her eyes traveled to Bryan and Kai. It was hard to tell which one scared her more, but she just murmured "Minut desiat nazad (About ten minutes ago)" and hid in the growing crowd.

Kai grinned, looking at the woman. Yuri caught his gaze.

"We get that all the time" he said.

A bus came. To the luck of the trio, most of the people were waiting for a different one, so, even if they did have to stand, the bus wasn't really crowded.

They rode in silence for about a half an hour. Kai was told they should go in that direction, but nothing more, so he asked the team captain where exactly were they going.

"They're still studying in here, so those bladers will be in schools. And there is more schools on the outskirts of city. I was told they are usually seen in the Gagarinsky district. There is one school I know there, and we can ask kids if they know where to find that gang."

Yuri looked around. Kai was surprised at first, but then realized that he didn't trust anyone even with this kind of information.

/That's what Boris does to people. But I am probably just like that..../

"Univermag _Moskva'" announced the bus driver.

"We get of here."

************************************************************************ The boys got of the bus, and the first thing they saw was a huge department store "Moscow" hovering over them.

"The school is just behind the store", said Yuri as they started walking. "The lessons shouldn't have started yet, and most of the kids will be in the school yard. Kai? What's wrong?"

Kai stopped dead in his tracks, and was staring at a girl standing in front of him. She had huge brown eyes and very pale skin. Long white hair was falling on her face and shoulders from under a black hat. She had been wearing a knee-length black dress and her pale hands were holding a small black handbag. The white-haired creature was staring back at Kai.

They continued to look at each other. Yuri could of called this a love at first sight, but he knew better. Kai and love- those two words didn't really go together. Bryan knew that too, but he didn't want to wait for Kai to feel like explaining what was going on.

"What the hell?" he asked. Kai didn't take his gaze away from the girl, but answered.

"I've seen her somewhere......She is so oddly familiar!"

"Yes," said the girl in a quiet voice, but speaking totally perfect English "I've seen you too....."

/This is all very interesting.....but we gotta go. /

Bryan didn't want to stay here long. He wanted to get back to his room- an only place he could be alone. So he grabbed Kai by the arm "Let's go." And started pulling him in the direction of the school. "Let us through, if you please." The girl stepped out of his way, and Bryan was followed by Yuri.

Kai freed himself from Bryan's hold, and looked back. The girl turned around and was walking in the direction of the bus stop. Suddenly a big green van stopped in front of her. Someone inside said something to the girl, and she reluctantly got in. The door closed and the van pulled away. Kai turned his head to Bryan.

"Why were you so mean to her?"

Bryan said nothing.

"Didn't you see? She was coming back from the funeral!"

Bryan turned around to see the girl, but she was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This chapter was suppose to be longer. After this scene the boys were suppose to go to school, where they get extremely lucky and find that gang, who challenges them, and says to meet them at five o'clock. The Demolition boys spend half the day riding in a bus around Moscow, then they fight, and I can assure you, they kick some serious butt! That gang will learn forever who is the boss.

I didn't write any of that because I thought it will be boring, and I should get on with my story. So the next chapter will start at the evening of that same day. I hope it will be interesting. Next chapter- "Disappearance"!

Plz leave a review, and expect more exiting thing later on ^_^ ~_^ !!!!
