Nea nods her head. She doesn't really know what to say, she feels awful that Antero really hasn't had a break in the last few days and has just had to go through so much. She wished she could make it better, let it be something she said or an action. Maybe she could attempt cooking something he liked. Sighing she just put her head on his chest and her arms around his torso.

"Death just...is such a hard thing to deal with. I just don't expect people our age to die. I put death off to some distant future thing for old people, but it isn't the case." Antero says, looking forward and thinking about Niiko and life and death. "It is uncomfortable to talk and think about. I think I am afraid of death. Life sucks a lot of the time, but never so much that I want to die."

Nea nodded her head against Antero's chest. "I feel the same way. I was sucidical about 4 summers ago and in the middle of trying to kill myself I discovered I'm really afraid of death," Nea chokes on the last of her words.

Antero puts his hand on her shoulder, but really isn't sure what to say after that. He looks down and shakes his head. "Maybe we should hang out with the others. I need more friends anyway. I just don't know who around here I would have things in common with or get along with. What about you?"

"Everybody here is so much older then me, I really dont have anything in common with them. But are you sure thats what you really want to do?"

"I would really like more friends. I only have you right now. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I think it would be nice to have more people to interact with and stuff." Antero replies.
(I am getting offline for a bit)

"Yeah I understand," Nea looked up at him. "I really have to do that too. But I really dont find making friends very easy."

"Then come along with me. Find someone to cover for you for a few days. I won't be gone long." I suggest to him.
"I am sure one of your underlings can watchover things while you are gone."
"Working too hard will just make you depressed and short tempered."

After I get off the phone with Ilya, I head to work. This is the first time I have worked since the death of the queen. I am glad to be back, since I get a little antsy when I have too much time on my hands.
The main thing discussed at work is counter terrorism measures, but nothing is decided or voted on. We discussed the American attacks on Iran and Libya, but there is great reluctance to help them in this expanded war on terror, even in light of the major acts of terrorism recently.

Things are just too emotional and I excuse myself from Zivon. I have a lot I need to figure out too. When I go downstairs I notice the Russian girl sitting on the sofa. I remember what Zivon said about her being Shura's wife.
I sit down next to her.
"Hello, I am Helvi. Are you really Shura's wife?" I ask her cheerfully. I need some new friends, so maybe she is a good choice.

Lilia opens her eyes and rubs them with her small white hands. She gazes over at Helvi, whose words she can not understand. She smiles and starts speaking in Russian to Helvi. "You've come back, and do you have news from my mother and father? You said you would talk to the agency to find out more for me."

I laugh and shake my head.
"Your name is Lilia, right! Do you want to go for a walk Lilia? We could get some icecream!"

"Do you really think my mother and father would want to meet me if we find out more about them? Well, I have some of the money you wanted. I thank you for looking into this for me. I don't have much money to pay you, but my husband should be sending more money soon." Lilia says to Helvi, but gets a pale and worried look on her face. She rubs her arms and rocks back and forth in her seat. Her eyes gloss over and she starts muttering random words.

"Okay, let's go for icecream." I smile and take Lilia's hand. She seems worried about something, but maybe if I smile it will show her that things are okay.
I pat her hand and guide her out the door.
"I can pay." I tell her and we walk out the door together.

"We can go to the bank, I do have some money in my savings. We can go to the bank and I will get you your money. I hope I can come up with the rest. I want to know who my family is. I want to know. We will go to the bank." Lilia says and follows Helvi out the door as though they are going to the bank. She smiles and is more calm when Helvi takes her hand. She feels comforted and her shoulders droop. She is shorter than Helvi and has trouble standing up straight. She has a slight curviture to her spine.
