Chapter 5: Soviet Strikes Back

Nick and Lao awoken by Fu Dog.

"You guys okay?"

"Ugh, yes Fu Dog, thank you."

"You must be Fu, Nick Borodin...now if you will excuse me, I pass out now-[thud]" Nick hit the floor again.

"Nikolai, wake up!" Lao Chi ordered

"Yes mama, pancakes for breakfast."

"Snap out of it!"

"I'm up!" Nick stood up "I'm up, I'm up...I'm up."

"It seems Rose does not want to be apprehended." What was your first clue?

"Yes it does, I cannot believe I make amateur mistake, no clip in gun...I am ashamed to call myself Russian."

"Get used to it kid, hanging around us will do that to you."

"FU DOG!"

"Sorry." They all took notice of the shop which was a wreck. Hell, add a few stolen items, Lao kicking and screaming, and the windows broken this could pass for an Asian owned Electronics shop in Los Angeles in April 1992.

"Ugh, this place depressing." Nick said

"Yes, but; gives me a great opportunity for some restocking." Lao began to sweep up some broken glass. "And for saving my life Nikolai, you may have one item you like from inventory, I insist-uh..." "I'll restock first."

"Yeah..." "I have to go see Jake, plus, wounds only way he'll believe me."

"You better go kid, time is of the essence." Fu said grabbing a broom "We'll handle things here."

"Sure, thank you...but, Lao; did you notice when fighting Huntsgirl she had red glowing eyes?"

"No, why?"

"I did, briefly, then they turn back to blue...Life is full of surprises." That it is.

"How interesting, I will look into that, until then, you go see Jake." Lao said

"I will, I go find Jake, he gave me address, wish me luck."

"Good luck young one, maybe this will be a good lesson to teach you and Jake."

"I hope so, cause right now...I could use some training." Nick said, he left the shop.

Nick found Jake's address in Midtown. It was still early and Jake had just gotten dressed. Noticing the wounds on Nick's face and his expression, he looked like a white Del Spooner.

"Do you ever have a normal day?" Jake asked

"Yeah once, it was a Tuesday...or was it a Wednesday?"

"Well, you might as well come in."

"Thank you."

"I wish I had something to offer you."

"You do, your help, I know you don't want to be involved, but; I feel as though there is no other choice."

"I told you, I'm not getting involved anymore." Jake said sternly

"Okay here's a little motivation, I had Rose come to Grandpa's shop...well not only did she not comply, but; she assaulted us."

"Your kidding."

"I...don't...kid." "Anyhow, she left shop in shambles, and nearly killed Grandpa."

"Oh no, left ear shot?"

"Left ear shot." "I managed to subdue her as not to kill him, if I had just one bullet in gun I could have finished her...but, it was empty...she got away."

"Jesus..." Jake threw his fists on the coffee table in anguish "What about Grandpa, is he okay?"

"Oh yes he's fine, really fine cause now he's persistent on getting some restocking done."

"Well the shop does need it."

"It does."

"Okay, that's good enough for me, lets get her."

"If you insist...i have one question though."

"What is it?" Jake grabbed Nick's TT30 from under the couch where he hid it.

"Does Rose get red eyes when she really angry?"

"Not that I have seen."

"Good to know." Nick said "By the way, we need to stop by weapons and ammunition hut in Sutton place, I need new Armalite 15, and 55 kg worth of Semtex."

"...Like I said, ever have a normal day." The boys exited Jake's house and went to the nearest ally to dragon up... … The found Rose's house moments later

"Outrageous, in Russia I can get same Armalite 15 for half price, and they would throw in at least 25 kg worth of Semtex for free!"

"Well maybe the dude would have given you some Semtex if you hadn't complained about the AR-15's price, and for the last time, you cannot legally purchase AK-47's and RPG-7's in this country." Jake sneered. "Anyway, there it is, we can land on her balcony." Jake said

"Excellent, and I do not need new Kalashnikov 47, I have 6 of those, and have 3 Rocket propelled grenades...it was last Christmas gift." "What I need is new Armalite 15!"

"Right." They quietly landed on the balcony. "And besides, he really didn't sell you anything cause your 14."

"Whatever...and I have concealed weapons license...but okay, you remember signal?"

"Of course."

"Okay." both went back to human form. Nick grabbed his gun. "I'll use Dragon fingers as lock pick."

"Please, no one in New York locks their doors, let alone on a third floor balcony."

"Right." Jake hid, Nick kicked open the door. Rose had just gotten dressed...wonder why...

"Oh, it's you."

"Yeah like seeing your face again really brightens up my day."

"Wait what, what do you mean again?"

"Don't play stupid Huntsgirl, and; I have full clip in gun this time, I checked, HA!"

"Again, what's with this again crap?" Rose asked

"Oh, come off it, just give up." Rose raised her hands

"Fine...I would rather be in prison anyway then in the same state as Jake Long." Jake's heart sank

"Yeah, well he feels same way...sorta."

"I could never love some...Dragon, let alone someone who goes behind my back to arrest me."

"Hmm...is it cause Jake turned on you, which he didn't, or is it cause he is dragon?" ...no comment... "Yeah, don't have answer do you." Nick cuffed Rose.

"I don't care, he's the scum of the earth in my opinion..." Jake teared up "He betrayed me...I really should have slayed him when I had the chance...es...I hope I never have to see him again...well there, he'll get what he wants, ARE YA HAPPY JAKE!" "Wherever the hell you are, you got when you wanted." "Stupid Dragon." Nick? Or Jake?

"Hey shut-up, your not just ranting to anyone, you ranting to my friend!" "Now lets go." Jake was so sad he just flew away before Nick waled Rose onto the balcony...Nick said nothing, he figured as much. "Come on, we can take my car, Dragonov up!" He grabbed Rose and they flew away.

"Wait, were driving, I thought you needed to take the subway to get to the magical world like Jake said."

"With the proper automobile you can travel anywhere, just like Back To Future." Nick landed them outside the ally of his apartment building, and took Rose below to the parking garage, where he changed back.

"And besides, you don't have a license."

"Oh, but I do." Nick unlocked the car, it was reasonably new Dodge Charger with a GTO Hemi, jet black.

"That's your car?"

"You sound surprised." Nick started her up "Listen to engine purr." he said. He drove up to the street.

"Whatever, I'm sure I'll just break out eventually." Rose said confident

"Ha, crazy woman, we have sooner chance of hell freezing over."

"We'll see about that."

"I'm surprised how easily you complied, you sure wanted to fight at Lao's a mere hour ago."

"Why do you keep going back to that, for God sakes I just woke up 20 minutes before you arrested me."

"Ha, horse sh*t, I know what I saw, you almost kill Lao."

"No I didn't, I swear, I did a lot of things Nikolai, but I am innocent there."

"But that is impossible, how could you be in two places at o-"

"NICK LOOK OUT!"

"What the-[crash] Something hit Nick's car. Nick hit the windshield and started to black out, the sound of the car's horn honking was the only sound her heard, as his face was on the steering wheel. Then his door opened and someone pulled him out.

"R-...R...Rose?" Rose then kicked him in the face, where he passed out.
