Meeting
Alfred's POV:
About 3 hours after the phone call with Ivan and Toris I made it onto the plane over to their house and knock on the door. My eyes divert from the door out of nervousness and start looking around my surroundings. The phone call was about the only information I had gotten about any bombing, or attacks. For the past few hours I have been on suspense for the entire thing.
Flashback:
After I hung up my phoneI looked at my t.v. one last time, making sure I wasn't dreaming this grabbed my keys off the table and headed out the door. I ran to my car and started speeding towards the airport. I started going 10 to 15 to 25 miles over the speed limit on the highway. My eyebrows slanted downwards, I had a piercing gaze that was fueled by anger. I pressed a button on my steering wheel and said in a clear voice, "Call the President." His phone number was programed into my car and it dialed the number.(1)
After a few rings I heard a voice on the other end. "Ah, Alfred. What can I do for you?" he asked as if it was just a normal day.
I sneered, "Well you sound pretty calm for someone who just BOMBED THE CHINESE! Thanks for including me on that conversation; glad to know I'm important for conversations like that."
"Erm…Alfred, this isn't the right time to talk about that." He said his voice turning into a slower hushed tone.
I stepped on the gas even more going 30 miles over speed limit, gliding past the cars with ease. "I CALLED you after we made the plan with the Russians! We said that the plan would be put into action! We were to surrender damn it! We had it all planned out and now you created a reason for the Russians to HATE us!" I practically yelled at him.
"Excuse me, I don't like your tone you're giving me Alfred." He said very annoyingly.
"I'll use any tone I fucking want to! We basically signed a peace treaty and you went around and betrayed it!" I cursed at him.
"No. You made a treaty with Ivan. You didn't have to deal with his boss like I did. We are Americans; we don't go out unless it's with a bang to remember! We got what we wanted, this war to be over." He said.
"You fucking bastard! I know just what America is and what America isn't. I know from experience that America. Isn't. A cold blooded murderer. And you want to know why? Because I am America! And if you haven't learned from history what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then you're a bigger fool then what I thought." And without any hesitation, I hit the "end call" button and slowed down as I reached the airport.
End Flashback:
Now here I am standing at the door of my enemy's, feeling guilty as hell. After about 10 seconds waiting at the door I heard footsteps coming closer towards the door. The door opened and I didn't bother to adjust my posture to a more professional look and stayed in the appologetic slouch. I looked up to see Toris who eyed his state and appearance and the fury in his eyes dimmed to a look of understadment.
"Uh…hey Toris. I came; in secret I might add." I said looking away scratching the back of my head.
"I see that. Well come on in. Ivan's resting on the couch." Toris said and escoreted me inside.
Ivan's POV:
I was half asleep on the couch when I heard knocking at the door. The pain is so unbearable that I can't possibly sleep properly. 'I can only imagin what Yao is feeling right now if I'm like this.'
As soon as I thought of my love in agonizing pain and agony my eyes shot open. Fear and concern coursed through my veins as I sat up. 'What if he's caught under remains of a fallen building and crushed?' My mind started filling with 'what if' possibilities and the images were some of the worst in history. I lifted myself off the couch and started walking towards the door. Right as I got up, the door opened and there was Alfred. I still inched my way towards the door before I started feeling dizzy and started stumbling in every step I took.
"Ivan! What are you doing up off the couch?" Toris yelled rushing towards me.
I tried to push him off of me still trying to get to the door. "Let me go! I have to go help Yao!" I said failing to push him off but still putting up a fight.
"Ivan dude! Calm down! You need to sit down and rest." I heard Alfred's voice say and when I opened my eyes, he was in front of me trying to help me.
My eyes opened wide and turned into a piercing anger within my violet eyes. "You bastard! How could you have done such a thing to Yao? You know we made a deal da?" I challenged trying to throw myself at him but Toris held me back.
Alfred jumped back a couple feet but stood tall. "I know! I was going to stick to that deal too but…let's sit down and I will explain." He said.
My anger somewhat cooled and I went back to the couch and sat down. "Well? Speak." I said.
"OK so here's what went down after the phone call with you." Alfred said. He went into detail about how his boss sent out the bomb without his knowing and he said he wanted to go out with a bang. "He's a very stupid and stubborn man. He has no war experience and doesn't pay attention to what danger there may be to his descisions. I ripped him a new one when I learned about what he did. Please Ivan you have to believe me. I had no intentions on hurting Yao further." He pleaded.
Toris turned towards me. "I think he's telling the truth."
I looked down and thought about it. 'I did have a chance to meet his boss that one time at a dinner a couple years ago. He sounded like a complete idiot. I'm pretty sure what Alfred is telling me now is the truth.'
I looked back up at him and with a sincere look I said, "I believe you Alfred. Knowing you and knowing your boss, I know you wouldn't do anything this stupid."
He closed his eyes taking in what he said and gave a blank expression. "I'm not sure if I should take offense to that…" he said. I smiled.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but what are your plans now?" Toris asked me.
I thought about it for a second before I stood up off the couch. Even through the pain I did it without any hesitation. In a chilling voice I said sternly, "I'm going to look for Yao."
