PART FIVE New people, old times

The trip was long over 7 hours from Los Angeles to Seattle, honestly when they got there Francis had to leave the bike on the nearest sidewalk as the snow had stuck to the floor around the house Ellis parked the truck and helped Zoey to get it out things, Nina and Francis took turns to at least make way to put the bike in the garage. Nina managed to get there first and lifted the gate support to open it and saw a snowblower

- Francis helps here I found a snowblower to make it easier.

Francis then secured the bike to help Nina and they both managed to get a good part of the snow and Francis starts the bike and puts it inside the garage

- It looks like it's going to snow, better Ellis put the van inside too.

Nina waved and they both went inside to collect their luggage too.

Zoey and Ellis took advantage and lit the fireplace but Ellis saw that there was little wood left.

- we have little wood...

Zoey opened the basement and took more

- I used to keep lumber in the basement stockpile for now that'll do the trick.

soon Francis took off his coat joining them and going to the kitchen to check, Nina threw herself on the sofa a little dusty

- jesus a lot of snow...you better put the van inside Ellis it will snow more according to Francis.

- Not to mention we'll have to buy more food.

broke in Francis. Zoey then manifested

- good. why you two don't take advantage of it and they're going to buy the groceries as soon as a beautiful blizzard will fall as soon as there are less chances of catching the blizzard.

- nothing has changed in Zoey always bossy. muttered Francis

Ellis went outside to catch the van.

- Come on Francis the faster the less chances!

Francis sat in the passenger's seat and Ellis got out on his way to a nearby store.

Zoey sighed as she walked back into the house to face Nina.

- Zoey is our father still doing the prodigy's stupidity there?

- Nina...he wouldn't do it again.

- wow your confidence in him is impressive, obviously he hasn't left the army yet because he wants to put some soldier with ''superhuman'' skills to defend the country in the right way.

Zoey sat down

- Look I don't judge him but if he wants to stay in the army until he dies it will be his decision, I don't think he will find a perfect soldier.

Nina started to laugh uncontrollably

- Oh Zoey, your innocence will still kill me... if Bill hasn't come back he'll still make that damn Russian plan.

- Russian Plan...? thought Zoey confused

Nina read her mind and stood up taking a paper to demonstrate

- Pretend that this paper is the scheme, now I will explain something to you Russia has a warhead right? so Bill will use this powerful warhead to forge an attack in eastern Russia... but obviously our father will have to find someone competent for this mission, so they may have trained someone for this mission in particular the famous super soldier.

Zoey was still confused but at least she understood one of the main points...Bill has someone known for this mission.

- Nina remembers that in the past our father had contact with someone from Russia, more precisely someone with dual nationality?

- BOOM shouted Nina.

Zoey was in shock everything made sense.

- Could this be the soldier he told that decimated an entire continent?

- Look Zoey depending on which side this super soldier is underestimating it will not be possible, if he really has enough skill to destroy whatever he wants.

- Dad can't control...

completed Zoey

Nina hugged Zoey

- Zoey by the way this person will make Russia the coldest country turn to hell if this warhead is really what I was assuming.

- indeed.

Until the sound of the van sounded and they both heard Francis muttering curses because somehow, he almost drowned in the snow

Ellis arrived laughing along with Francis covered in snow

- You idiot would have just turned around, and you wouldn't have fallen.

- dude I know but if I knew it wasn't the fucking fluffy snow...

they stopped laughing as they stared at Zoey who was frowning worriedly.

- Something's going on here, isn't it? asked Francis

Zoey and Nina looked at each other as Ellis listened and was tidying up the kitchen.

- Look guys I'm not going to lie but as you already know our father, he probably has a possible problem...

- but precisely a bomb. interrupted Nina

Francis without understanding anything opened his beer and sat down

- I'm sorry but I'm not experienced in daddy issues much less in bombs

Ellis came out of the kitchen with two beers in hand and handed them to Zoey and Nina as he stood by the counter between the living room and the kitchen.

Nina and Zoey explained about the army and the super soldier

Ellis then remembered a friend who was in the army and was now in the mafia and maybe he knew about this story.

- I think I know someone who can clarify this for me better.

Ellis went to his suitcase that contained a laptop and started looking for a list that contained this guy's number.

taking his cell phone he called a Jason who was a former guerrilla and when he answered

- Ellis?

- Jason wanted to know if you can do me a favor?

- sends.

- Have you ever been in the army I wanted to know if you know Bill Overback?

- Of course, the legendary one-army man...

- Do you know of a plan Bill made that has to do with a warhead in Russia?

- Holy shit did he get it?

- We don't know but what do you know?

- very briefly Bill found a soldier in Russia who has dual nationality and who only God knows decimated an entire city her name is Rochelle Junes Vyacheslav, they nicknamed her the winter devil in addition to always being armed to the teeth she has a good aim, and if I'm not mistaken, she knows how to hack different systems from all over Russia.

- So, this woman is capable of killing for her goals?

- if you have a good amount, she will do a service that will not have any traces in tracking or finding her

- well, this is a start but what about the warhead?

- I don't know, but I suppose Bill won't be the one to use it. If he wants a warhead this soldier will probably bring it straight to him.

- So maybe it's not Bill who is on the mission?

- but precisely he must have called this Russian and some other well-experienced soldier.

- Thank you for your information, Jason.

- See you around Ellis and one more thing be careful with this woman... if she finds you will be the next to be exterminated.

- ok thanks for the warning.

hanging up the phone he returns to the living room Francis was sharpening an axe while Zoey and Nina were cooking.

Francis saw that he returned

- so, you discovered something?

- apparently this soldier is a woman named Rochelle Junes Vyacheslav who lives in Russia and has dual nationality who will bring a warhead to Bill and probably won't be alone, Bill must have found some very skilled soldier to help bring the warhead to the United States.

Nina then arrived to save with the dishes

- So, she survived...

Zoey stared at Nina

- Wait... do you know this Rochelle person?

- Not only did I have the misfortune to meet her but I saw that she was only 16 years old when she joined the army, Bill kind of saw something in that brat but that girl had a scary way of looking at others... particularly suicidal mission and apparently, she must have been the only one who came back because Bill never came back on that subject.

Ellis put away the computer

- apparently not only survived but also spread chaos in Russia, Jason said that she devastated an entire city gained a codename of winter devil and also hacked some voice channels so that no one would track her and find her

Francis put the axe on the wall interrupting the lecture

- now the question that doesn't want to be silent, if she's going to cause chaos in Russia again, she'll probably come here with the warhead for Bill, right?

Ellis waved; Zoey sighed.

- so, Dad really called a Russian assassin for a mission involving a warhead?

- American too...double nationality must be why she can come to the United States normally without being deported.

interrupted Nina

Francis looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark and they would probably have to sleep

- Well, let's leave the analysis on this murderer for later, this afternoon, children...

Nina said goodbye to everyone while Francis was going to stay on the couch, Zoey called Ellis to talk, Zoey got a phone

- What you are doing? asked Ellis curiously

- Well, my father will have to explain all this shit to me.

- So tomorrow you're going to talk to him about it?

- exactly

- it's wise but at the same time there's a chance he doesn't want to clarify anything.

- He won't hide this warhead story from me forever, I just want to know why he needs a Russian assassin to bring something so dangerous.

- Well, if you want, I'll go with you tomorrow.

She took Ellis's hand and stared at him.

- Thanks for what you're doing, it's helping a lot.

In seconds Ellis kissed her affectionately and Zoey hugged him back during the act and they fell asleep together.
