[b]"I guess that you can't expect the Cutthroats to make it easier for you even if you are doing their own damn job for them."[/b] Vadim said, before glancing at Daniel. [b]"Mark my words, when we get to that damn airport, they will treat us as if they did us a favor, not the other way around."[/b]

Turning the corner right after the lead car, Vadim noticed the plastic barrier that Isabella had just managed to maneuver around and violently swerved out of it's path, yelling [b]"Твою мать!"[/b] somewhere during the process.

...

When they got to the RV, Vadim mumbled [b]"Cling-Clang, were here...[/b]", quoting an old Soviet puppet TV show from the 1980's. He quickly scanned the buildings around the traffic circle. The area was clearly hit with a bombardment, most of the buildings getting damaged from it, few destroyed.

[b]"Стромное местечко"[/b] He said to himself.

Vadim noticed an American flag hanging from the third floor of a mostly collapsed building. [i]Well that doesn't seem out of place[/i], he sarcastically thought to himself. If that were the CIA station, or at least what was left of it, namely, the flag, their mission would be over before it really began.

[b]"Well, mission is canceled. We are pulling back to rendezvous point two."[/b]

With his thoughts confirmed, Vadim mainly focused on following the lead vehicle, only now a little bit further back after the thing with the barrier.

...

Out of nowhere, the lead car braked and slided onto the sidewalk following a gunshot.

[b]"Shit!" [/b]

Vadim quickly realized what was going on. After all, he has already been in this situation many times now, only it has been a long time since he had been in it from this perspective.

While Daniel was asking Melnikov if anyone in the lead car was injured, Vadim quickly yelled [b]"Get down!"[/b], slammed on the brakes and swerved. As he did that, a bullet with his name on it blew the driver side mirror into pieces. Unfazed, Vadim yelled: [b]“Ambush!”[/b]
