I stop by the autotorium while the meeting is in recess and leave a manila envelope containing some of Capulet's financial information, hoping that it triggers some sort of action... After all there's no rule against using one'e enemies to teach a third party a lesson! I then begin my search for Peter Nielson

"Oh wow, you're from America. What brings you here? Are you a tourist? My name is Valodya by the way." Bassarov replies.

My classes finally end for the day, and I stop by the cafe. I see Bassarov, but he is talking to someone else, so I sit down near him but not right next to him.

"Hey thanks Dylan." I reply with a smile.
"I would've liked to have it in Finland as well of course, but I it sounds like you folks need a hand with things here. It was Adam's idea to have it here versus Finland." I say, eyeing Adam. He turns his head.
"Yeah, we would aspire to have things here as they are in Finland! It was really a question of economics actually, most of our core out here are young people who are still paying for their college, while in Finland, education is free. I'd hate to ask everyone who's working two jobs here to take a week off of work and fly to Finland." Adam replies to the both of us.

"An American eh?" I ask as I pick up my tray and sit at the same table as him. "I hadn't wanted to intrude, but if you don't mind... So what brings you to Russia?"

"Voltron was cool, but my mom made me watch transformers instead, because they were cars instead of cats. She thought that cats brought bad luck into the house." Sakari says changing into his transformers T-shirt.

"Oh that is a little odd." Cambridge replies as sie looks at the patterns on the carpet as he changes.
"I get freaked out being alone in a room with strange pattens on the wall or floor. You start to see faces in the designs."

"Umm...Well, I finished highschool early...So I decided to take a year to work. Since there aren't many jobs in America, I decided to come here where there are alot of things to do." Kai said.
He looked at the person who had come in.
"Oh, do you two want to talk? Cause I could go,"

"Things are less expensive here, but jobs are low paying. We also suffer from massive unemployment. If you are looking for a job, you might head to Western Europe. The European Union is doing far better than the United States." Bassarov suggests.

Days pass, as days will do, and Mrs. Malone finds herself getting ready to take her long anticipated trip to Ëurope. Used to travelling on various missionary ventures, she had never actually been over seas to do anything just for the sake of doing it. Paycheck by paycheck, she had been saving out money and putting it away until finally she had enough sitting in the ornate wooden box on her small bedside table. The time frame was rather undecided, as were the destinations, but on this particular night she was packing a large, canvas backpack full of items that she thought would be necessary over the next month or so: Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, clean underwear, a few books. She is trying to keep things light, she will be carrying this thing around on her back. It is best to leave the Shakespeare anthology at home.
This had been a trip that Mrs. Malone and Mr. Malone had been planning together for a long time. A backpacking adventure across Europe, a wonderful time for two lovers. Now she will be doing it alone.
Once, when they were younger, she had gone to Chicago to an art museum with a group from her school. She had seen all of the well-known art pieces and felt a sort of sadness that Jacob had not been able to be there to experience it with her. She feels that same sadness now... one more thing that she will have to hold in her own memory and share with no one. She packs some granola bars and her vitamins.

"I guess. But just as things here are inexpensive, things in Europe are very expensive. I find it to be a hard decision where to work and stay. In the meantime I think I will just get a simple job like a janitor or something, and save up money until maybe I can get to Stratsford Upon Avon. Hopefully there, I can get a better paying job." Kai said.
"These don't look to be good times."
