Aleksandrrrrrrrr?

*missed call from Nikolai*

Are you at the ballet today?

Did you get your girl back?

*missed call from Nikolai*

Alek?

Aleksandr

It’s over, Nikolai.

Nikolai

Says who?

I’ve never met a Drakov who gives up before. We’re annoying little cockroaches.

Aleksandr

It’s over, Nikolai.

Done.

*missed call from Nikolai*

Leave me alone.

Nikolai

Oh fuck.

This is bad.

Don’t worry, cousin!

Help is on the way dearie!

*missed call from Nikolai*
