o.0 Oh my goodness. Someone from Belarus and Lithuania has read this story… I hope you are not offended! (If you're still reading this)

This chapter is written differently but it's only for this one chapter. Please correct my Russian if it is wrong. I learned this from my Russian speaking friend so it should be alright.

Thank you for all your lovely reviews and notifications!

Chapter 2: avoiding detection and lurking.

Lurking is a very important part of spying; the most important thing to remember is not to blow your cover. Lurking can serve as either a way to get information or observe from a distance, you are not to approach your target while lurking. Avoiding detection is also a good skill to master while lurking if there are not many dark sketchy alleys and blending in to large crowds is your best bet.

Step One: Stay in the shadows. If this cannot be achieved then stay in obscure corners. Rules from Chapter One still apply.

There is a reason why Ivan stays out of dark alleys and that reason is Natalia. Dark alleys and sketchy dark places are the perfect spot to stay unseen and undetected. Many a time he was pounced or tackled by his sister and now Ivan generally stays away from suspicious areas. Now and then he feels like someone is watching him.

Step Two: Avoid running/ walking into this such as rubbish bins, outdoor seating, small adorable animals, legs and other appendages, rocks, tree roots, and anything else that could be deemed a tripping hazard.

One day when out on the town Ivan noticed something. Something poking out from behind a bush, it was a hair bow, a very familiar hair bow…

"Иди домой!" he yelled. Natalia took off. She didn't look where she was going and ran into a bin on the side of the street. Ignoring the mess she had just created she kept on going. The bruise lasted for a week.

Step Three: Learn how to act well. Along with your disguises, leading how to Act and sound like a different person may come in handy.

Today wearing a pink t-shirt and jeans, Natalia set out into the streets of Vilnius. It was too warm to wear a wig. Instead she replaced her signature ribbon with a hat and hoped it wouldn't matter. The last attempt with China didn't go over well so today she hoped she could make up for her pervious failure. Posing as a tourist gave her the perfect cover to take pictures without raising suspicion. She was adjusting the zoom when someone tapped her shoulder.

"Natalia?"

Step Four: Don't be noticeable. Overelaborate or extremely bad costumes will make you stick out. This includes and is not limited to: Shiny materials, neon, a mustache and glasses, or a bush. Bushes do not move. Staying low key also includes not shouting or otherwise attracting attention.

She should have known this was why brother was here! She should have figured it out sooner. Her grip on her camera tightened to the extent that it was about to break. The only reason she didn't throw it at him now was because brother was still nearby. If he found her he would certainly send her home. How was she going to make it out of this?

To be continued in chapter 3…Dealing with Lithuanians.

These chapters may be rewritten later; I'll post it in an A/N if they are.

Thanks for reading! (review please!)
