[b]Nikolay S. Gavrilov.[/b] Malanek was strapped to a chair, with his mouth covered in duct tape. He was in what looked like an abandoned warehouse. Nikolay was nowhere but his truck a couple of feet away. Malanek starts looking around for Nikolay with a scared look on his face. Then all of a sudden Nikolay pops up in front of him. Scared Malanek starts to struggle. Nikolay smiles at this sight and removes the duct tape from Malanek's mouth. "Help, heeeelp! Somebody!" Shouts Malanek. [b]"You can scream all you want. Nobody is gonna hear you in here."[/b] Said Nikolay with a smile on his face. [b]"Now here's what were gonna do. Were gonna play a little game. You're gonna tell me everything I need to know. If you do that then you'll succeed in keeping yourself alive. If you don't...and this is where the fun part comes in...i'm gonna have to hurt you. Bad enough to makwe you talk."[/b] Said Nikolay. "I'm not gonna tell you anything." Said Malanek with a bold look on his face. [b]"Oooh I think you will..."[/b] Said Nikolay as he headed to his truck, grabbed a tool box from the bed, opened it and took a hammer out of it. [b]"...because if you don't..."[/b] Continued Nikolay as he held tight Malanek's left hand and swinged the hammer, smashing it against his hand. After the impact between the hammer and Malanek's hand, the latter started screaming loud as Nikolay shouted. [b]"Now tell me what I need to know damn it! What is my brother doing here? How did he got out of prison?"[/b] He awaited for an answer but Malanek was too busy breathing hard and shaking. [b]"Okay! If that's how you wanna do it."[/b] Nikolay slammed the hammer in Malanek's already wounded and bloody hand as he released another scream. "Okay, okay! Just stop it please! The UFC insisted alot on having your brother in their roster. They were fascinated by him. In the end we thought it was a good idea to set him free and let him go to the States. We also told him that his freedom is conditioned by the fact that he has to hunt you down and bring you back to us. But we failed to see one major aspect. Yuri is a celebrity now. He won't be able to do much without beying noticed. So it was time to move to plan B. Somebody had to lure you out of your hole and then the rest should be easy." Said Malanek as he stopped to take a break. Nikolay then realised what's going on. He lowered his head and nodded in dissaproval. [b]"Well congratulations then. It looks like I fell for it."[/b] Nikolay then turns around and heads for his truck. He knew this day would come. Well, he hoped it won't. But it turns out fate is a cruel mistress. "Hey you can't just leave me here! I need medical assistance." Shouted Malanek. As he was getting inside his truck Nikolay shouts back. [b]"Stick around. I'm not done with you yet."[/b] After leaving the area Nikolay grabs his cellphone and calls Lauren. [b]"We need to talk. Now! See you at your apartment in one hour. Be there!"[/b] He said as he put away the cell phone and headed to his original destination, the one he was going to before he spotted Malanek in front of that hotel, Lauren's apartment.
