As Alex was driving down the dirt road, he still found himself very fortunate. All the teens agread to go back with him, after he gets back it would no doubt create the foundation for one of his ambition.
"So, what are we going to do for tonight?" Raiza said as she was looking out the window.
"The same thing we do every night Raiza, we take over the world, mouhahahahaah!" Alex said, in his best evil genius villain voice.
The two teens just stared at him like if he'd just grew an extra head.
"Cough, cough, come on it was funny, ok a little funny, oh trow me a bone here. Im trying to lighten the mood." Alex said in a dejected voice, for the whole time they been on the road he had tried on numerous time to make them laugh. Only to be greeted in stone cold silence, he refuse to give up until he at least saw them smile.
"So, what are we going to do for tonight?" Osyen said, he was the oldes of the boys group. He had deep blue eyes and dark hair, he was missing his right arm at the elbow, and had a scar that covered his stomach, from what he'd shared he was on a strict liquid diet for the past weeks.
Both Raiza and Osyen were sittting in the front while the rest were in the back of the truck along with their supply. After the group had made their decision about following him back home, they took everything they could and pack it up in a truck. As they drove away the whole base went up in flames, as for the two men he had lock up, he brought them out, as a show and tell with the kids. It ended up as a beat down slash torture class on the guards, but it also allowed them to vent their emotion, all the teen had long ago lost their sense of what was normal. Denying them this aspect of themselves would not be in their best interest in the long run.
Sigh. "We really need to work on your sense of humours, or else all the time well be together is going to end being miserable, at least for me it is." Alex said in a depress tone.
What he didn't cache, was the smirk on both of the teens faces. For so long, every action or responce was controlled by their teacher or instructors, any mistake or tiny slip up would be punish with either violence or isolation. Now they were experiencing complete freedom of expression, Alex didn't hurt any of them, or go into a rage if they refuse to listen at any of his orders. They needed to see if this new environment was one were their feedom was real or simply artificial as it had been in the red room. So far everything they had seen or heard pointed to it being a true path to get their freedom back, but they had been deceive so many times before, so for now, they held back and hope that this wasn't a short ride for what a real life could taste like.
"And to answer your earlier question, their is a village a few miles from here. I made some previous arrangement for staying the night. The only problem is that I wasn't expecting in picking up a dozen of homeless orphans on the way back. But don't you worry, momma gonna take care of all my little love buds." Alex said, he turn to them with an oscar winning smile, only for it to drop against their chilled expressionless faces.
This time both didn't event look at him. They opted to ignore him, and focus on the road, dejected Alex look back to the road as he mumbled, something that sounded like kids these days. As he focus on the task at hand, the two teens grinned as they held back from roaring into laughter. What had started as a test, had now become a game. They we're doing their best not to laugh. Not because they would get punish, but because the reaction of their savior was just to funny. The more time they spent with him, the more it became obvious that he wasn't completely sane. Not in any bad way mind you, just that he didn't seem to even be aware that he acted far from normal. But honestly they really didn't mind all that much, cause it was sooting to find someone who gave a shit about them, and wasn't here to just use them and once he was done, trow them away like a piece of trash.

As they came closer to town Alex park the truck on the side of the road. He seem to be thinking about something as he stared down the final few miles to town.
"I'm thinking of going in alone." Alex said as he turn to the two.
"Any reason why?" Osyen said as he frowned. Was this the end of the good times?
"Yeah, is their something we should know?" Raiza said, their was nothing but calm in her voice, but she was hidding her fear that all this was another cruel trick from them.
"The reason i want to go in alone, is because I'm about 80% sure that their are some spies in town. And none of you are in any shape to fight your way out, if it comes to that." Alex said as he pointed toward the back.
"So what, your just going to go in their and do what? Ask them all if they could not do any spy stuff while we are their. And let use have a night of rest." Raiza said, her voice was thick with sarcasms.
"That not a bad plan, but if we do it your way, their a good chance il have to kill alot of innocent lives. Beside their a much better way of doing it." Alex said, he answer her like if she had ask in a seriouse tone.
"Right, so beside giving the town a new paint job, are you going to steal what we need, cause if you are, with the amount and what we all need it will attract attention not matter what." Oysen said, as he rolled his eyes, he was wondering was brilliant idea this guy would have.
"Nothing so complex, I'm going in to see if their is anyone who seem a little to jumpy. After the base was destroyed, I'm sure that their someone or perhapses more then one lookout, planted here. As for supplies, why do you think, I insisted that we take everything. I did it, in planning in abandoning to take or buy anything in the town, but if i can get all of you a nice bed tonight instead of sleeping under the stars, il gladly do so, only if their no risque to all of you." Alex said.
As the two were going over what he said, Alex exited to truck went to the back and spoke to the other kids about what he was going to do. He left them some weapon and the keys to the truck, just in case something would happen to him.
Arming himself with some of his weapons, he jog to the town. He slow down when he got their, and walk in the main entrence. He went around town spaming his cover story, that he was hitchhiking accross Russia, visiting place to place. He learn from the locals that, they spotted the smoke from afar and some were convinced that the orphanage was burning, other thought it was a forest fire, but to most outlandish one was that it was a bomb tests.
After an hour of going around, he had spotted a few possibly watcher for the orphanage. Deciding against doing anything, since it would only attract needles attention. He figured that they should be able to camp tonight, and if the woke up early enough they might just sneak past the town at dawn.
"It probably best to avoid any people, for as long as possible. It should give us enough time and distance to get out of the country. If I'm not wrong, Peg's plan should be over by now. And by the time I get their, James could no doubt, hook me up with a way out." Alex said, as he was making his way back to the kids. Being careful of large populated area, should lesson the risque of smuggling the teen out of Russia.
