It was closing time at the restaurant Yuri,Vasily and Maxim were out the back leaving Nastya to clean up. Nastya was doing the washing up whilst the mob walked in " sorry we are closed" Nastya said not bothering to look round.

" really? You might want to double check" Nastya turned round " oh...I'll put on some coffee" the leader nodded in agreement meant. " that's what I thought"'the gang sat down. Nastya put on some clean coffee and began to make the coffee casually glancing at them as they discussed business.

Once the coffee was done Nastya brought the cups and coffee pot on a tray which kept rattling from her nerves as she walked over to them. She had seen them and been round them since she was small but they still unnerved her. Nastya put the cups down and started going round them pouring the coffee and adding cream. Nastya kept her eyes down but the minute she looked up her dark brown eyes meet a pair of very green eyes that had a look of kindness. The green eyes belonged to the bosses son Alexander who gave a small smile at Nastya but this little exchange didn't go unmissed by his father " we need more cream" He said holding up the cream jug for Nastya to take.

" of course" Nastya said taking the cup and walked off.

" don't even think about it son... She is not of our world" he whispered to his son who just sighed.

" I can't do this...I can't do this" Nastya said picking up the cream jug and squeezing it so tight it crushed in her hand and blood gushing from a large cut on her hand.

" ouch.. Shit" Nastya said out loud.

" hey everything alright in there?" The boss said jumping out of his seat " I'll go" Alexander said getting up and walked over to Nastya who hand her hand under a streaming tap.

" it's actually burns that you need to put under Cold water" Alexander said stepping close to Nastya.

" let me have a look, do you have a first aid box"

" it's under the sink" Alexander got the first aid box out and started opening it, grabbed a plaster " okay let me take a look" Nastya held out her hand for Alexander to look at.

" everything alright son" the boss called out

" yeah fine"

" is he always like that?" Nastya said as she watched Alexander clean the cut.

" ouch that stings" Nastya said pulling her hand away.

" hey don't be a whimp, hold out your hand"

" I'm not a whimp! It stings that all"

" whatever you say" Alexander chuckled.

Alexander took Nastya's hand and continued to clean it whilst Nastya whined in pain ocassionally.

Mean while Yasily, maxim and Yuri had finished their work and went to step out into the shop when Yasily stopped dead in his tracks so, Maxim and Yuri bashed straight into the back of him " hey what's the hold up?" Yuri snapped.

" shush" Yasily gestured for his brothers to look only to see Nastya and Alexander were looking lovingly into each other's eyes and laughing ocassionally.

" what the hell mama will not be happy about this" Maxim said

" I can't bare to look at this anymore, she is threatenising with the enemy" Yuri said looking away in disgust.

" Calm down brother you wait until mom finds out about this" Yasily said with a huge smirk on his face.

Yasily, Yuri and Maxim backed away slowly.

" there you go all better" Alexander said letting go of Nastya's neatly bandaged hand.

" thanks.. We're did you learn to do that?" Nastya said smiling

" when you have a dad in the well you know, you developed certain skills" Nastya nodded and Alexander went to walk away " wait..." Nastya picked up a clean cream jug and poured fresh cream " here" Alexander smiled " I know this is rather Forward but would maybe like to go out sometime out side this place" Nastya smiled. " yeah I'd like that" Alexander smiled.

" great I'll see you soon" Alexander winked before he walked away.

~ A month later ~

Nastya and her brothers were in the middle of the a big rush when Alexander walked in " hey look who's just walked in" Yuri nudged Maxim and he turned round to see Alexander hanging around.

Nastya was working the till when she spotted Alexander and he walked over to her " hey" he said smiling.

" hey" Nastya chuckled.

" fancy getting away from this place?" Nastya looked at the queue, then at her brothers " I can't I have a job to do, I can't leave just like that" Alexander smirked.

" are you always going to do what your brothers tell you what to do? " Nastya huffed " I don't do everything they say" Alexander chuckled " okay maybe another day the " Alexander went to walk away " wait hold up " Nastya said taking off her apron and chucked it on the counter and rushed over to Alexander.

Nastya glanced behind her and rushed off laughing.

" Nastya wait! Where are you going"

~A few Months later ~

Nastya was now a part of the mob and night after night she would sit with them as they planned their next action but Nastya underestimated the power of the mob and slowly over time Nastya had now become a smuggler for them which was something she told herself and her parents she would never become but now it was too late she was now in too deep and couldn't get out.

~ Visitation ~

Maxim sat quietly with his hands folded on the table whilst he waited for his mother to arrive. He looked round nervously jiggling his leg as he observed people around him.

" still got that nervous tick I see" Red said bringing Maxim out of his day dream.

" mom" Maxim said jumping out of his seat and wrapped his arms round his mother tight.

" it's good to see you too son" Red said hugging him back.

" Reznikov what have we told you no lingering touches" the guard said and Red rolled her eyes.

" so, how are you mom? You look good" Maxim said pulling out of the hug.

" I'm fine, look cut the crap what's wrong?"Red said taking a seat.

" what makes you think there's something wrong mamushka"

" I'm a mother and a mother knows everything" Maxim nodded.

" okay what If I told you Nastya has done something"

" Ugh" Red shut her eyes and opened them " Maxim tell me, what has she done?" Red said dying to know the truth.

" okay mamushka promise you won't get mad" Red took a deep breath.

" MAXIM TELL ME NOW!" Red slammed her hands down hard on the table making Maxin jump.

" hey !Reznikov ! That's government property want me to write you up"

" Nastya has gone against us mom, she's joined them and we did everything we could to keep her our side but it's too late" Maxim had tears slipping down his cheeks.

Red was silent " mamushka did you not hear me?" Maxim said waiting for his mothers reply.

" I heard you... And you didn't try hard enough"'Red said feeling the anger rise within her.

" we tried...I tried mom and she's in to deep now... We've lost her mom" Maxim said taking his mothers hands only she yanked her hands away fro him.

" I can't even look at you right now" Red got up and looked at I her son for one last time before she turned and walked away.

Maxim jumped out of his and called out her " mamushka I'm sorry...I'm sorry... I'll fix it some how" Red didn't turn round she just carried on and walked out of the room leaving Maxim behind.
