It has been weeks since Emma and Bort had terrorized Russia. The two were on the run from the Russian law when they ended up in Alaska. Sadly, Bort had to leave their new tank in Russia after it sank while they were in their submarine. Even as they try to live quiet lives, their past crimes seem destined to catch up to them. The authorities in Russia have sent agents to capture and arrest the couple.
If they wanted to avoid the Russian authority, the only option was to leave Alaska and go where the Russians would never go. They would go to Alabama. In Alabama, Emma would have a chance to reconnect with her past and they would both have a chance to escape their fates. Emma thinks it’s a great idea to go back to Alabama.
But before they can leave, they need plane tickets. Emma wants to re-experience her childhood in Alabama, but she knows that her past and her current location have put her and Bort in danger. So, they snuck to an airport and flew to Alabama.
When they find Emma’s old house, they discover that there are people living there. The occupants were an old couple that looked very angry. Emma kicked them out. They didn’t want to leave but Emma was very scary, and she lit their arms on fire. After they left the house, Bort removed their eyes and gave them to Emma so that she could burn them. They wanted to make sure that the old couple could not see or find them again. Bort also wanted to make sure that the couple had nothing anymore, so they robbed them.
Emma has also decided to turn her old house into a simple but comfortable place to rest. She has cleared out the junk that was keeping her old bedroom clean. She also decided that she would clear out her backyard. There used to be a small pond in her backyard but now it was just piles of dirt and more dirt. Emma looked at all the small animals around. This gave her an idea.

After tidying, Emma decides that she will make her famous Pimento Peppered Squirrels for lunch. She sends Bort out to go hunt for squirrels. While she is hunting, Emma heads outside to feed some birds. Bort ends up shooting 149 squirrels, which is a lot more than she had originally planned.
Soon, more than 5000 raccoons are gathering around to eat the squirrels. They are acting quite strange, and they seem to think that Bort has a two-headed raccoon, which is what the raccoon with the two heads looked like in the city. All of a sudden, they start running around in circles, and then all of them start running in the dirt piles in the same direction. They seem to be single-minded, and their running is coordinated, as if they were a single raccoon, but they are really dozens of different raccoons. Emma decides to just cook two of the squirrels and the rest were for the raccoons. She makes sure not to give them the peppers because they will explode if they eat them.
Bort tries the Pimento Peppered Squirrels. She really likes the flavor, and it makes her happy.
After their Pimento Peppered Squirrels, Emma and Bort go to the grocery store. They are both still hungry, so they decide to get some sandwiches. Suddenly, Emma spots Harley! Harley sees them too. He trots over to them. He kisses them both and seems to be very happy to see them. Emma thinks that it is very odd to see Harley in Alabama. Harley was usually living in New York with Maria. After some chatting, the trio then goes to Harley’s car, and they give him many belly rubs.
For dinner, Harley decides to take them out and treat them to a nice steak. They order a steak for Bort and one for Emma. They ask for the house special, so they get a steak more time chatting, and Harley tells Emma that he got a job as a forklift driver and that was why he was in Alabama. He also said that Maria was moving back down to Alabama to be with him.
Bort and Emma both finish their meals, and they thank Harley for the meal. They congratulated him on his new job, and they told him that he was a very good boy. As they leave the restaurant, they see the couple that they had blinded in Emma’s old house.
