Description
Oh Max, had no idea it will happen to you.-------
Imagine that one day you would lose your memory and start a totally new life, feeding up your new personality.
But then one day the memory comes back to you. You remember everything but you've been changed so much and get used to other things, people, surrounding and even your new name.
Starting to feel splitted and keep two totally different but seemingly both right points in your mind.
Have no idea what to do.
And don't know what personality is gonna get up.
------
Sketched this on top of the feels after a song my friend sent to me, gave me a perfect focus and quick motivation.
German song though:

Miles looked away shortly and breathed in driving closer to Janice looking down on her and patting her hood shortly "Love is blind but you've finally realised it. If he is not being all honest to you, you have to stop trusting him, moreover, deal. Easy like that. Victor is really smart when it's about to bring his point across even if it's wrong but i hope you wont to go in the same nets and you want to see betterments in your life, same as your mentor proud. I just brought in some amendments today on the meeting, it considering to solve the problem you've faced. I mean bullying. Max and Alex presented there and i want to believe they are smart enough to not pick up such a risk. Don't expect to return old good relationship with Vlad so quick. Better be wiser, always think what you're doing. Back your boss up, and make him notice betterment or at least some improvement in your work. He will notice it himself actually. I won't punish you yet, Janice. It's you punishing yourself already, don't you think? Also for that, you have the boss. Don't worry about my part here, i can't predict how he will react on this but i promise the times will go easier for you if you don't act silly. I hope you are not hiding anything else from me? If no. You can go then. Have a good night." He backed off from her a bit and a slim smiled stayed on his face.
------
Max actually even didn't notice Vlad and considered it as just a random member, since it was all dark and he watched the road. He braked and breathed intensively but still, it wasn't that bad he thought. He looked over the results and shrugged " Hmm,, yeah. It will be Alex. I'm not a lemon and different engines. Scores are not what i would be surprised here about because it is unfair sorta to compare me with them, but thanks, gave me a good sport."
He followed Alex knowing already where they would go. It was quite late and Max felt his body wanted to relax.
They drove to the gas station at first and both got more fuel, afterwards, they settled in the Hugos bar. Max yawned and requested hamburger with soda from a bartender.
He felt that he started to feel a little pressure inside as time went on closer and closer to that our. Max then pushed Alex who looked thoughtfully at some point but switched his attention "is there anything else i should know? maybe you try to explain to me where is the office?" Max spoke quiet enough and tried not to sound too obvious.

Boris saw obviously how drunk Vlad was even if himself he would rate as festive. Surely he was affected enough. He pulled the keyboard closer to himself as soon as the pc was turned on. But then looked confused at Vlad " so where is the internet?" Vlad chuckled covering his mouth with a wheel and helped to Boris find it. Boris managed to type though and soon they found a web site for this. Boris clicked on it and they at first began to watch all the cars who already was registered there. Took them a certain time to get enough of watching the girls and chuckle on men descriptions or photos. Boris scoffed "Well this one looks like a tipsy James Bond, talking about tipsy photos. Vlad, we need a photo of you. Give me a photo camera. Vlad looked sceptical at first but opened his drawer and gave a camera to amused Boris " Just chill, they will not figure who you're. I am a genius in the end. We will make a photo black and white, no one will guess who you are. Also here, you can take my glasses for a photo session... And Oh, wait, one issue! He looked over Vlad's desk in a rush and pondered but soon got a sticky paper under his tire. "It will do!" He took one out of it and put it onto Vlad's t symbol sign in the front. "Ready, now no one will guess it's you. Smile~"

Janice looked down slowly. And her gaze softened up. She couldnt be mad at miles or his words... even if she dearly wanted to... its the first time she felt like she has real help... and his words even lead to make her mind alittle more clear... no wonder hes the big boss. Janice slowly nods to many of his words. "I guess yes.
I do punish myself alot. Thats why i feel and act even worse then i already did...thank you miles. Alot... iam glad actually this love of me and victor is history. And i will try my best to make it up to vlad, my mentor and my group again... should have been way earlier. Atleast i wont get send away so fast now? Gives me more chance... and if alex and max do dare.... i will report it. They did it too often though, and i stayed silent about it like a coward." Her sigh showed and smiles weakly. Bowing down in respect "theres nothing more...thank you miles. Goodnight for you aswell" janice doubted that vlad will ever forgive... but smh trying to make him happy atleast, feels correct. She felt alot more reliefed after talking to miles. She to her territory and then to the storage. Getting extremely many blankets and pillows. Mostly fluff stuff. Back in her room, since the bed isnt there yet. She took boris pillow and blanket too and made it to a big cuddly corner for them both pointing towards the tv. She smirks rolling her eyes. shortly going to the canteen and helped the trunkovs cleaning before making tea for herself and boris. She felt like finally being able to relax alittle. Yet worries and pain still lingered. But she got back some hope, to fix atleast smth and make ivan grin hugely again.
----------
Alex rolled his eyes amused. He was not gonna discuss with that boy rn. He mainly believed that the most trained higos got more condition atleast... but max surely raced alot so he isnt untrained either. Alex knew he himself shouldnt forget that fact. In the bar alex smirled and gave the bartender a serious grin. It was victors favourite guy working rn. Perfection is the standard today that means. Alex already sighed and ordered a nice plate of springrolls with meat inside too. He really seemed almost like being in an asien mood today. He gave max a glare as he looked at his food. Almost like -dont say anything ok?- max's burger was huge actually and you saw it wasnt some fastfood stuff. It was made with good meat and really neatly that could almost lead you to drool. Even the sauce looked so nice. Alex noticed the nervousness in that moment of max and set his voice serious but calm. To assure max that it will work "hmm. First. Dont take the left halls stairs. Its mainly used by the trunkov. I suggest the right one. His office is in the 2nd etage and not the highest, differently then our boss. You gonna notice his office door fast. Many flowerpots. And a huge door. But else, except that you know already that tanys files arenin the highest drawer... there isnt anthing else you gotta know. Just be careful. And hey, dont worry. Try to tell yourself to stay confident. It will help you alot. And now eat your jawbreaker of a burger." Alex was quiet too, but he got louder as that topic finished. And ordered some beer. Alex hoped this bar time be a last help to max. Yet he still hoped max is gonna stay calm once he has the file...

"Tipsy james bond? Now thats an description i would hang out" vlad chuckled actually referring to this as an insider.... against a certain agent. But he was so drunk, he didnt consider that boris didnt knew about that thought. What vlad smirked at was the fact that boris actually still thought about things that vlad already forgot about in his mind. "Haha iam sure no one will. I doubt anyone has me remembered in their mind as that car and a piece of paper stuck on his emblem. But whatever. Iam ready" vlad chuckled and imagened how hes gonna look like already. It was hard not to laugh rn. But he gave his best and smiled... a drunk smile but he was sincere. Both laughed and vlad directly asked to see it. .... seconds passed and then it showed up on the pc screen. Both boris and vlad burst into laughter. "Take that! This is perfect. Now lets see how thats gonna end. And dont you dare matching me with everyone" vlad grins and watched how boris turned the colour off from the picture and upload it. Typing out vlads description. Vlad smirked and leaned alittle closer to read better. But once more bump lightly against boris. At this point both knew, he got a new problem rn. Balance.

Max sighed but then looked seriously "This is sound easy. Not much to remember. But to be honest i starting to feel pretty tired." He yawned after that but picked his hamburger and ate it sipping some soda and watching on the screen with random music clips. There were some pretty girls dancing and he got distracted on them unknowingly but inside it made him think of Tany and he looked down after some looking rather in the window. He could see only his own reflection though in it and it made him think again how he changed for all this time. He suddenly smirked then and Alex already wondered what was in Max's mind and he looked questioningly. " So,, why am i wearing that colour if i may know? Random or your favourite?" he sipped some soda and smirked.
-------
As Vlad narrowed his eyes to see what Boris typed as his name it gave him a good laugh because it was said Vlad Prunkov. He giggled on that while Boris stayed serious almost as if it was a serious deal he got. He pointed out the location as London and soon got some girls that could match Vlad. He clicked on one of them who was online and found how to write a message to her " Hello mademoisele"
Vlad only saw it all as a joke right now and pushed Boris's side "It's not how i'd talk hah,, but okay. How is she even look? Show me again?" He moved his wheel to the mouse but Boris pushed it away "Nyet, nyet i will do all myself. Here see,, she looks fine to me." He clicked on her profile once more and there was a photo of a pretty woman jaguar type f. Vlad rolled his eyes " It is your taste hm?? Maybe then you try to get her?" Boris pushed Vlad and by that Vlad almost rolled on his side but stopped in time. Boris then laughed "Hey you! Stand like a man! Look she is answering you!" They both stared at the screen and read - what do you want from me?- .. Vlad pondered and Boris chuckled getting his tires on the keyboard - totly nothing i can request from sucha beatiful lady yet, sorry for the mistakes i can't stop lookin at your amazing smile. You're look like a photomodel- Boris sent her the answer not actually giving a deep feels to his words and soon they got in return a giggling emoji and the text - listen, you got a kind smile but i don't think we would really match each other. sorry- . Boris scoffed and closed the chat with her "well then lay off, i will look for someone else. Hmm i think someone left the comment under your photo?.. Hm,. lol??.." He looked confused at Vlad not knowing what that could mean as they got a message again from jaguar girl - i'm just curious what company did you own? May i know?-

Max's grin was odd so suddenly but alex grinned himself by that question. Somehow it was funny that max wondered aboit smth like that. But he kinda understand that max is just wondering about alot of stuff at the moment.
"Its strange how you get to that topic right after watching some girls? Gives me the question why. Dont worry, victor wouldnt intend making you to a girl or some shit. However. The purple colour wasnt clearly my decision. More boss's again. Since you were purple and green, but a tidy style had to be put onto you, he decuded to go with the more fitting and threatening colour i believe. Take it as you want. However, if you are so tired. Calmly finish your birger and take a nap before going to that butt engined leader."
----------
Vlad didnt even thought about the fact anymore that hes gonna be really embaressed in the aftermath. The amusement was too high. But seriously, he felt like this profile was almost a bootleg version of him. Just a really good one! pondering he looked at the girls question and rolls his eyes grinning afterwards. "She seems like a quite polite lady. But this question. Hm maybe you should overthink what you delight or find attractiv boris. But iam not gonna assume anything too fast. Come lets see how far we can go actually. And lets look, to write with some others too... hmm tell her, iam owning an oil company. That be Not too much infos but also not too less~" vlad watched how boris typed and he couldnt believe it actually. The way boris typed... vlad got inbetween it and send a polite smile. And he saw boris raising his eyelid. "And you believe that using smileys is more like you? Or makes you seem more attractiv. I doubt that. seems like a turn off to them probably. Maybe." Vlad chuckled amused answering "well honestly. I dont even believe that myself. But why would you blame me for trying hm?" Vlads grin at this point didnt leave at all. And they saw she was typing... -ohh thats actually smth i didnt expect to hear... mlstly from a lemon. No offense, really. Its just smth unique? How can i be sure you dont lie- vlad said calmly "hmm wait. How can we know that these arent fake profiles. A whatever. Lets not think about that. Before answering her. Let me look at some more cars" they skipped through, and vlad always sad no at these girls with instagram worthy pictures. But the girls that smile with their pets and friends almost always got a yes. There was one corvette actually but you clearly saw no interest in vlad there. Really understandable family wise. There actually was a female eclipse in a bonbon bright purple but with black symbols. Vlad didnt knew how to feel about that. If he shall giggle or not. He couldnt hold the amused smile back though. "Thats looking almost like a female version of one of the hugos. From everythingn, this id the least i expect. But better click no." Boris almost clicked yes and vlad sweatingly kicked his tire "no! Haha." Vlad was so giggly bc in a way he knew boris did that on purpose for the awkwardness. Next on was a ford fiesta in a coral colour. She photographed herself at work and vlad smiled. "She seems interesting and pretty even... yes. There i would say yes too. I feel dusty. This is newland to me almost. Ok let us get back to the jaguar rn."

Max rolled his eyes and smirked " I see.. so grin wasn't aggressive enough? That's good anyway he didn't give me something completely new and unfitting." He later finished his burger and was satisfied about it much but he wondered how if he were able to sleep with no problems. He even didn't want to leave Alex to feel comfortable but he had to try get some nap so he left the table. " Yeah. You know I will go take a nap. Still have some time and need to relax after this meal. Time I have will be enough for me. See ya later."
Max left the bar and came back to his room. He seted alarm for 3 am and laid in the bed. All he was think about is to get safe out of the office but the thought that Alex did it without a problem calmed him. He closed his eyes and thought about his mother again while it faded slowly and he fall asleep quickly being exhausted.
-------
" Hey why can't you then write to her something. Don't tell to her that you are dusty though! So you like the Ford ?" He added her in the list of friends and just before coming back to jaguar he added an eclipse too, he saw how much that action triggered Vlad and it was funny to mess with his drunk friend. Vlad protested but Boris looked at him seriously " Okay shush! We are just going it for fun and she is a famele what can be wrong with that ? Just don't get a female that looks like one of other bosses here. That would be truly weird then." He picked up chat with jaguar again and leaned on his tire thinking before typing to her - I know it is probably sound unrealistic to you but i have no reason to lie. I'm sadly don't have anything with me to prove you that. I'm on the boat with my personal computer and nothing I can find here to prove my state. All I can see is a dark ocean and beautiful starts on the sky but even they can't compare to your eyes." Boris chuckled amused and Vlad rolled his eyes " Wow you are. Seem know how to hit on the women. That's great but she won't believe you. Or ask for a photo..". Boris grabbed the photocamera and dissapeared with it for a minute. He hit the table lightly and moved it away letting Vlad fell down of it on his bumper. He grumbled under his breath and touched his jaw laughing then " what a crazy car.." he continued to look for the girls as he got a message from Eclipse who admited him as a friend. Vlad raised his eyelid and smirked thinking why would she be so generous but he got a message then from her - What are you looking for here ? Do I know you ?-
Vlad swang from side to side getting to the keyboard when the door opened fast and Vlad shrugged " Jeepus Christler! Calm down Boris. Oh oh I see you got something ". Boris smiled widely and connected photocamera to the pc looking at the screen " Oh I see you do some betterment already ? Hmm.. Wait I know what to say. He almost pushed Vlad away again and typed - sadly i don't know you. But you look really cute.-
He chuckled and for busy uploading some photos for the jaguar he just made. It was just his wheel on the side of the rig.. ocean and sky. Nothing look like lie here. He sent it fast to her and got an answer from Eclipse who just answered - Not really cute...-
Boris chuckled and shook his hood typing - this is because you have no one beside you to be cute, so you pretend to be a wolf- He leaned back as he got a message from Jaguar again and she sent an amused emoji now with - Ohh it is amazing. Having a nice time i see ? Wish I could be on your boat." Boris grinned and pushed Vlad " see !? She already wish to be on your boat." He didn't realised that if sounded wrong to Vlad who laughed aloud that probably you could hear it behind the door " stop you fool ! This is going too far don't you th.. think..." he still chuckled while Boris already dealed with Eclipse again who sent an answer - I don't pretend. I'm really like that-
Boris just smirked and scoffed " well we are deal with a wild one.. But if so.." he types back to her - I love confident cars like you... Want to join me one day for a cruise? I have a big boat-
He laughed and pushed enter quickly before Vlad could react on that.

Vlads eyes where widened widely at this whole situation and he actually blushed. It was kinda bc both of the situation and the drunky flow in him. He just starred at the screen before glancing at boris totally growing with grinning, just narrowing his eyes too. That joke with the lemonhead looking girl was already mindbreaking and that he really went on with the eclipse but this seemed really brave rn. Vlad hasnt seen boris like that in pure eternities. It was really like a rare case. Vlad pulled boris alittle away from the keyboard. "Chill now. What are you trying to do here? I-i mean i dont think you gotta give them so much hope that they actually wanna spend private time with me. Boris! Are you even listening?!" Vlad sends himself in laughter and whiped a tear away from his hood "no seriously, i didnt expect the jaguar actually to react to that. Mostly not to a lemon. I dont know... but for you to reveal yourself, its a bit too late now huh? Maybe i should take my compliments to you back. But would you pls not try to pick up that eclipse? What if somebody ever recognizes me from the rig. I would have alot of explaing to do. As if they believe our drunk storys." He saw boris going back to the keyboard and calmly reading "that wont happen. Dont shake in your tires bc of smth like that. And i see you are laughing. So dont try to fake concerning acts here when i see you find it hilarious too." Vlad took the mouse and clicked on his profile shortly. Snorting already "smth i didnt thought about yet... that colourless picture and the way you present me, aint i coming off as creep. You get that back boris. Anyway, that it works though! What a mystery" vlad watched how boris went back to the eclipse's chat. She seemed indeed more different -you know. Nice compliments and such but i rather not. We dont know eachother yet as you yourself cleared out in the begin even. I believe you arent really my interest by the way you type. But before anything like that, get to know the car better next time.- vlad nods "ok i agree her. But why she gotta ruin the fun? I think iam a bit more brave maybe. Oh well. Lets-" boris went back to typing, interrupting vlad, vlad neared him rapidly and watched the screen -of course, I understand you. But i wanna offer smth to you atleast by my words. But iam quite ready for getting to know you more if thats ok then?- vlad gave a nervous grin and points back to the jaguar. Hard to decide at this point which to focus on. Boris pondered and vlad suddenly put his tire over the keyboard. "What you intend to write hm?" "You will see~" boris pushed vlads tire away getting more daring -i wish too that you be here, right here beside me. And enjoy the sounds of the ocean in harmony. You know, as my profile states, work sometimes can get a bit boring alone and when someone so nice like you likes this place seemingly, why not let us go futher and get to know eachother.- "iam not lonely." Vlad stated with a pouty look before smiling again. "Boris! These girls will suspect smth wrong! Iam totally not a fuckboy. Oh well why am i even trying. You got so stubborn" vlad chuckles and covered his eyes with his wheels, shaking his hood disbelieving. This and the antioxidation really exhausted him already in a good and bad way though. Outside some trunkovs shortly stopped, eavesdropping. They were really confused why vlad is being so loud... but they didnt stay for long luckily yet they still had to grin and hold back some chuckles by boris and vlad funky chatting. One almost wanted to go in and ask if all is ok, but that trunkov got stopped by the others that didnt want him to ruin this.
(Vlad is way less authoric when being drunk XD so good fir boris rn d")

" Didn't you want to have fun? You do and get it now. Well though if it's escalates I will leave it up to ya." He chuckled and saw how Jaguar became to answer already and they waited patiently in silence almost - Yes. Hmm we maybe could get to know each other better, just talk though for now. Vlad, are you Vladislav or Vladimir ? And where are you from then?- Vlad bit his lips and Boris already wanted to answer as they got one more message from her - I can relate with the work. I'm sick of it but have no choice. I need to help my kids-
Vlad almost choked and coughed " Oh .. She has kids !" While Boris waved with his wheel " What did you expected?? Look at her age. She likely divorced. I feel sorry for her actually. No jokes with this lady anymore" He chuckled guilty and typed back to her - Why no. My name is Vladislav though and I'm from Ukraine, I'm not living there anymore because my company located closer to UK. It is sad such car like you have to deal alone with the life and I do have cars too I care about daily. But I'm still single and it's happened because I spent way too much time working.- he sent it and looked at Vlad " Yes . Way too much! You should talk to her Vlad she looks like an adequate one. She maybe doubt bc you are lemon but who knows? She doesn't need more kids anyway" He grinned and Vlad just thought Boris being insane "I'm not Vladislav...". They saw that the Eclipse answered them too and Boris clicked to read it - What you wanna know about me? What is my favorite food or colour ? Have you seen my profile? You have one weird black and white photo .. is it from 70-80 years?- Vlad chuckled on her reaction and Boris rolled his eyes " she is being not nice to you. And why does she even doing on the website if she said you should know her better before talk .. duuh it is what this website for. Dumb" he clicked on her profile and read through it figuring that she is a quite young one and not reached 30 yet. Her name was Tiffany and there was some rules. She basically didn't welcomed the ones who older her too much. And also she wanted man to earn enough money. But the point was that Boris didn't mention the date of birth but mentioned he has owned the company. Vlad smirked " That's okay. She won't talk to me I see. Leave her alone already..I'm probably too poor." Boris smirked and decided to make jokes with her now -No it is a new photo. We can know each other a little better. I can guess what is your favourite colour but I would be more interested if you can cook borsh ?- He giggled on that and Vlad chuckled too " She will ignore us or just get mad by this question. But honestly, if I she want man to earn then she must cook good borsh or else it is not fair."
Boris switched on Ford then who Vlad added too and sent her - Hello you beautiful one. Do you like zapos?- Vlad indignantly pushed Boris and grabbed the keyboard from Boris who laughed " ok ok don't get mad at me! I was just asking straight. What if it is her dream ?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Vlad didnt expect the eclipse to be so young luckily the funny aspect covered up that awkward feel. Vlad couldnt stand it though that boris is going onto someone with his own words that vlad actually doesnt find so unnattractiv. He scoffed at his friend before grinning. "Yeah, but even if it is. I believe that we would make me come off as a hungry predator. No no- you may be the expert but not now. This is a case for a real zapo" vlad grins and puts the keyboard back down. Clicking and holding on the delete button to erase accidentally clicked buttons. "Ok ok, how am i gonna fix that?!" Vlad narrowed his eyes struggling to to type but he slow and carefully did. -ok, i may opened the door in a way too fast. But i gotta say your profile picture was really sympathic. I just like it more when you see on the photo right away how happy someone is. Mostly with their beloved pets. Its like family. Iam a car paying quite much worth into that aspect of family. And i thought we may relate here?- vlad made a grammar check and then sent. Smiling satisfied. Boris read through it and gave vlad an confused look. "No pick up line? Well you go a bit daring but dont you think that you come off even more like a saucy creep" vlad growled and gave boris a light hit. Almost loosing his own balance again though ironicall "i didmt say that i prolly be regretting these messages! But still better then yours. Are you trying to literally sell me on the dating market? I gotta say its funny anyway. Now lets see how succesfull i will be huh?." Vlad looked back on the jaguar chat and looked alittle sorry. The shock still was there but he looked at it from his perspective now and sighed. Actually even blushing here still a bit "you know. I will stay in contact with that jaguar. Too. But first i will look if i like this mess tomorrow morning still or come to hunt you through the rig" vlad chuckles and boris grins in response. Actually boris felt succesfull here in a way for shipping his friend funny around with some girls. A sound appeared and there was a message of the ford. "I was worried at first. But you dont seem so bad. I actually am new on this plattform and have gotten alot of odd messages already. But i hope you are genuine? As business man i may should let you know right away though that i wanna spend much time with a partner... so idk if it does really fit. But well will see." Vlad smirked warmly and got kicked back into reality by boris "h-hey! Sorry." Boris chuckled "dont fall in love yet!" Vlad scoffedand rolls his eyes longly "as if so fast. You were the one gawking at the jaguar hm?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Gawking at her? No. I picked it up for you. But the ford also talking so nicely to you even if she admitted she needs a lot of time to spend at her it's honest. Can tell she is grown up too. Anser them both something nice if you feel confident. Just don't be so cheesy, you surprised me here~" He chuckled again and Vlad pondered before writing an answer to the ford - I'm also new one here and i'm glad that i stumbled into you because you sound like a polite woman, this is what i hoped for. I will be sincere I'm working a lot (Boris rolled his eyes and shook his hood but let Vlad do what he wants) but i will try to find time to talk and get to know you more.- Vlad stayed focused and again checked for the mistakes before sending it.. He rubbed his eyes and smiled "The alcohol makes me sleepy, don't you think? Oh wait i will answer to the Jaguar too and wish her a good night. I think it will be enough for today or i will say some nonsense hehe" He opened a chat with her and saw an answer there from her "That's fine. Yes, we have to sacrifice often to be able to make the ones dear to us happy, i understand. Nice to meet you, I'm Violeta. Actually says on the profile but let it sound more legit or something. Don't you miss your home though?" Vlad smiled weirdly but not fully could connect it to the feels in him, in some way he surely did but he found a new one home. But it was a good sign that she cared to ask this already. Boris watched how Vlad happily typed her answer. He was amused to see Vlad smile and spend time with someone else and not just work. He hoped his mood will stay in that way tomorrow too. -Wonderful name you have. You're totally right but isn't it what makes us happy after too? To see the results and happiness of these cars. I hope the hard times will pass for you and you will be able to see it from another side. I would like to know more about you too. i'm going to say i miss Ukraine time to time but i found a home and i'm happy here. It is sadly late for me and i feel my eyes heavy. I hope you don't mind it but if you wanna tell me more don't afraid. I will read tomorrow. Good night.- Boris clapped with his tires and Vlad laid on the desk"I see you finally got a taste, i maybe was being too harsh but it's worked at least! Just don't fell asleep on the table okay? I think it's time to lay down, i see you're pretty exhausted. Where is your bed?" Vlad chuckled and stoke the desk "I'm usually sleeping on my desk, yeah I'm just turning off with my work. It's how it goes. Don't worry for me i rather wish you a good night and for tomorrow i will question you, expect it." He yawned but Boris moved his wheel near the mirror " What? Are you crazy? You want to be hunchbacked? I'll tell you should care about your body if you still planning to look attractive to the women. Move your trunk to the bed i said!" He slapped Vlad's backside and he moved grumbling "Fine fine.. I'm going to bed! Happy now?" He slowly drove to the room and almost hit the doorway. Soon he was in a bed and Boris caringly covered him with a blanket "Good night drunk Zapo, dream about the girls finally." Vlad narrowed his eyes and mumbled something before closed them again Boris only chuckled and left his room. He decided to put pc into a sleep mode.
----------
Boris left Vlad's office and drove outside at first to breathe with some fresh air and smoke one cigarette just in case before he could see Janice. Not just that but the alcohol made him feel want to smoke. He felt pretty tired too and tipsy still thinking on how he spent time with Vlad. He enjoyed the fresh air and soon got a little cold so he went to the bathroom at first to at least try to get rid of the smell of alcohol and brush his teeth. After that, he slowly entered the room and use his fog lights to not light the whole room with the main ones. Though he saw that the tv worked quietly in the room. He remembered now that he promised help to Tolga bring the bed for Janice and clenched his teeth guilty. Janice laid down on the place she made for them and narrowed her eyes, all this time she just was in a half sleep. In the back of her mind she even thought that it could be Victor and rapidly looked at this side but saw it was Boris lights "Oh Teddy. Finally, you came back. Had a nice time? Wait,, is this the new glasses?" She yawned and with her tire welcomed him to lay beside her. Boris smiled almost guilty again and placed near her kissing her side " Sorry dear, i maybe smell too much with vodka so you shouldn't kiss me. Yes, i spent the whole night with Vlad and i got new glasses, you know i need them sometimes. You probably didn't sleep because of me? " His eyes looked sad and he was happy to see Janice so he rubbed against of her again closing his eyes and soon looked concerned " How did it go for you with Victor? Did he really help you? I hope nothing happened?" He swallowed and felt like he worried a lot. He could feel the heartbeat increased.

While Max slept he had some random and mixed dreams which he barely even could connect to any happening. One of the nights when the dreams pass through and leave no clear intentions. He tiredly opened his eyes when the alarm rang and moved over the bed still, he turned it off and yawned. It was time now. He turned light on and went to the bathroom to get water on his face and wake up quicker. He dried himself and stretched wheels a little. He glanced sadly at the laptop again and looked a bit serious then rising his hood and leaving his room. He left Hugo's territory and passed neutral soon going to the Trunkov's building. He took the right direction as Alex adviced him and was on the second floor soon searching for Vlad's office. The big door and the flower pots? He soon spotted it and neared to the office. He carefully and slowly pulled the door and watched if any light source came from it. Nothing. He opened the door wider and gazed inside of it, he couldn't clearly see in the darkness if Vlad was on the desk or no. But it was deadly quiet so he must have slept. Max breathed in and out slowly and entered into the office, he froze then seeing that the desk was there but no sleeping Vlad. He nervously widened his eyes and almost backed off but forced himself to be brave and go further for checking. He neared the desk and heard quiet but still hearable snoring from the room. That made him relax his body and he smirked. He didn't know what made Vlad to change his sleeping place for once but he slept tight, it sounded like that. Max even came closer to Vlads room to make sure he hears right. He then to not lose time turned the lights on and looked up to see the letters on the drawers. It would likely be in the one with the capital letter of the surname so he saw one Q-T and looked around for a stick to get it out. It was right next to him and he carefully hooked it and pulled the drawer out slowly putting it on the desk. His tires shook when he searched for the files and it soon was in his tires. He closed his eyes for a second and smiled putting Tany's file down on the floor. He felt mixed feels and was afraid to know what is inside but also he really wanted to know it once and for all. Whatever the truth is he remembered Alex's words to keep calm so he tried his best opening it to the first page.

Janixe was so reliefed that was just boris. Just smth in her couldnt put the fear down and so she had to react shocked at first. But his lovely appear made it all good again. She calmly breathed out as she felt him so warmly rubbing at her. And she only leaned more close into him. Just suddenly pulling him near and grinning "alcohol isnt stopping me to greet my long awaited sweetheart." She put her mouth softly at his and smiled warmly before slowly gazing a bit to the side. That vic topic made her worried too fast but somehow the new faith made her ready to use honesty. Mostly bc boris deserved it. But she was afraid. Afraid for his heart. She took his tire and held it.
"Well teddy. Are you really sure that we want to talk now about this? Just bc of the alcohol. I just want you to be fine. Ok? Ok. So. I cant really say that he helped me. Not at all... but i think all that chaos today lead me to finally do smth right. To finally do smth that could fix all. And i tell you, it wasnt easy for me... so yeah. Victor told me that i actually have the rights to stay for a few days longer and he will hold max and alex back for me. But... but he wanted alittle reward. I felt sorry for him. Bc i know some struggles that he has to deal with too.. so yeah... i-i... am sorry but i said -only a make out.- turned out to be a big mistake. He took that deal but went futher and i tried pushing him off but he tried making me suck him off. I didnt let him do that with me though and tried talking to him. Saying all clear that i dont want it. But he stayed persitent. And eventually turned me roughly around. I panicked already and still tried pushing him off but he just was stronger and entered... i-i dont wanna worry you boris. But i actually screamed for your help. But vic only took me harder then and made us near the window. It was horror! Bc even if it pleased me physically i mentally... i mentally felt completly taken advantage off. And it hurt me. He eventually finished in me... and yeah. I went back to my room at my very end. Ivan came and figured what happened. Instantly making me feel even worse. B-but i thank him and feel sorry at the same time... i saw ivan sad.... i ... i .i saw. IVAN...sad for the first time... and maybe as only car here on this rig." Tears once again came up and after looking really sad, a trembling smile appeared "i know now for real. He is my father and no one, NO ONE will ever take that connection from us... but also... this honesty of emotion aswell as usual roughness made me realize... i went to miles boris. I told him all... eventhough i felt ashamed, hateful to both victor and miles and so much more. It incredibly helped anyway... bc soon there be an unnanounced meeting. And victor will be punished for this. I cant believe it... he will be punished!" Janice smiled alittle. Now beside boris it was more easy to feel happy about it. Her gaze slowly faced him worried but she then smiled warmly and snuggled him. "No matter what. Iam sure for the first time that things will change. Teddy, my love. I thank you for being with me on this endless path. I love you"

While max had woken up and made his way towards vlads office, vlad himself had at first struggled to fall asleep eventhough he was all tired. But it finally worked and his body lulled into tight depths of dreams. He moved the pillow around real much and rolled un his roof and back really often. His body wasnt used to sleep on a bed but it eventually was good for his undercarriage. In that trunkovs mind he drove through a field of crops and the sun shone extremely golden and warm. A clear country evening. Vlad picked some strawberrys and munchend them happily before eventually picking mainy and put them in his front. He wanted to collet these for the cooks and already imagened to order them to make cakes and shakes for all. Nice thinking and it pleased vlads warm heart. Soon he finished and drove off. Futher in the direction of the sun... oddly the oil rig was on a mountain? Vlad didnt noticed the strangeness though in his dreams and casually made his way up. Taking the curves of the mountain streets like a chill sunday drive. Sometimes closing his eyes for a few seconds and reopening them as he knew curves were ahead. At the very top. His tires touched the metall plattform. And he drove over to his trunkov building. Giving the strawberrys away. He then entered his office. And through his window... it was like the rig disappeared and you only saw these golden fields. Vlad sighed and set onto his undercarriage. He thought about work already and to enjoy it like this. As he suddenly heard the door open... just oddly he didnt felt the need to get on his tires. He just stayed calmly and gazed through the window. The car softly stopped beside him. Setting to the undercarriage too "what an amazing view hm?" Vlad smirked and looked at that car. Both reflected the golden sun "it is. I never thought to see it like that again. What an upgrade to the garden." The car smirked kindly "you truly can say so. But it brings so much more to do." Vlad chuckles "as family, we can handle even that big of a field. See, i picked some strawberrys. Theres gonna be cake today." The car narrowed his eyes shortly before giving vlad a questioning look "family. You know, it made me wonder though. I clearly am not really a part of it... what is it that you truly see in me." Vlad looked questioning and raised an eyelid "i never said that you arent family... well ok. Difference is there. But does that really matter." The car only could look down a bit thoughtfull almost disappointingly "but this really cant be it. Dont think that i dont see whats up." Vlad rose his eyelid and looked shocked at the cars eyes "why would i lie or hide anything from you... ok theres smth i needed to hide. But it had its reasons. And before you gonna be shocked. Let me explain ok.... the thing is. Even if iam not sure about it till today. But i think, i truly love you tany. By my trunkovs heart" she chuckles lightly "like truly truly? Or still family like" vlad nods disagreeing " truly truly. That kind of love. But let me explain. I felt you were important. But at the same time i knew that you didnt chose to stay here. I knew too that you didnt belong here. And you are way younger then me. I would never halt your young life to be together with and oldtimer like me. I want you to go out. Meet many friends and new boys. Younger ones. And some that you truly can relate to by heart. You gave me enough by the love of family already. And its like that saying - if you love smth, let it free.- thats why i didnt let my workers look for you. That why i didnt race after you. And its against our rules anyway to have a relationship. It just shouldnt be. And i accepted it like that. But now rather tell me... how your life is going. Nothing could please my heart more then letting you know that you made the right decision and to hear that you maybe found a partner." Tany blinked shocked at him and that was when the dream faded. It was a bit too emotional and vlads mind switched to calmness.. she didnt answer and both just gazed. Almost like an eternity. Out of the rig."
While vlads dream went on. Max actually got shocked a few times as he heard vlad mumble words out in hia dreams. About family and shit. Max rolled his eyes but nervously opened the file... first site. Same as alex described to max. He only read it again just to be sure. It was like a bloody sword though piercing in his heart. He turned the page. And there were pictures that were spontaniously made of the group once with tany quite near vlad and janice just pouting angrly while all other trunkovs smiled or pranked the others on the photo. Indeed a family like photo... he turned a page futher. And suddenly there was a time skip. Oddly about the radiator spring situation and that janice shot tany with vlads special very personal weapon. But it was inside the file very loose and crambled up. as if someone wanted to throw it away. Addition was that vlad rewarded janice for it with the restaurant. Page futher. Suddenly again weird tine choosing. The garden. Alot of little notes were there of vlad. Almost 5 pages this went on only with notes of vlad till the topic changed again. Issues: raped by ivan. Harrased but hindered by ivan. Seen being harrased by ryan hugo...ryan got corrected to max with a red pen... later. As max saw this. He suddenly heard vlads words.
I love you tany.
And now max's mind was in total confusion with those informations mess....

Boris listened to Janice's words and tv lighted his widen eyes time to time with a flash, for a moment the only tv was as the background and the silence worried Janice. His eyes looked over Janice and stopped on her eyes. His eyelids narrowed and he mouthed slowly "What?". He didn't want to believe in it, he wanted to think that this is a nightmare still but it was not. He felt pained, burned and crushed. Janice looked so,, light-hearted? He slowly took his tire out of her grip and backed off, he felt lost and confused. He loved her but he didn't know what to do. He felt even to hurt to talk out properly. Just too many thoughts were in his mind now and being tipsy he could easily overreact. Vlad's words when he said that she will hurt him soon. He felt a huge confusion. He knew Victor took advantage of her, but her words 'just a make out' stuck in his mind. He wanted to hug her, he felt sorry for her. But he couldn't come close to her yet. He just couldn't. He wanted to get away honestly. Right now. He took a distance from her already but the confusion tore him inside like on two sides. He gave himself time and closed his eyes putting a tire over his glasses, he moved them down on the hood and put it aside. He held himself as hard as could. He already felt that he better shouldn't leave the room, he wanted to believe it was nothing but Victor's fault but it felt not just this way. He hated Victor, a lot. He felt awful letting Janice go away. He should have stopped her and tell to Vlad. He felt his eyes sored bc he held tears. He opened his eyes again and looked at Janice probably the most hurt Janice ever saw him. His voice sounded broken "Did he raped you?". He was not aware he is asking an obvious thing being in a shock.
---------
Max looked down on the files and when he went through the issues' notes he felt stinging inside. As if it wasn't enough of his feels, that came up as the fact. Again. The crumbled up file and how Vlad wrote issues made him see it from slightly another view. It didn't look like Vlad cherished bad happenings. At all. But when he heard how Vlad clearly said ' tany, i love you' He widened his eyes and turned the lights off. The most first thought was that 'Tany is here' but this thought showed up as doubtful soon and still it was enough to raise his heartbeat. He stood quietly in a shock not understand what is going on. He moved to Vlad's room again, carefully gazed inside of it. There was no Tany. He didn't know if he should be relieved now at this point, rather it took away a little hope from him. He almost tore but he knew he should read it quickly and leave without any noise. He worried a lot now and Vlad even made it harder. He opened files and lighted again on them trying to focus on the words but he hardly could. He put his tire where he stopped to read and with other one skipped the pages to the end. Now or maybe never. He should know the end. He started to read the whole last page though.
(ok i decide to give it up to you bc idk how exactly Vlad could write the last day seeing his unrequited love (and its interesting for me to read how Vlad thought back then ) )

Janice shivered as she felt boris backing off. It was like an eternity, the moment she suddenly didnt feel his tire anylonger. It was a coldness that made her feel so trembling innerly. Her heart wimmered fearsome and she couldnt see boris like that. She has hoped that everything will be getting better. And of course she could have expected this. But she never saw boris like that either. And another downfall this was. She could only stay silent and stare back at him as her eyes got reddish too. There was no trace of any smile anymore. Bc she had no reason to. She could guess how hurt boris heart must feel and she guessed that pain really was hard inside him. By the distance janice was left with that feel of being disgusting again. It obviously didnt leave her fast ever but to feel it suddenly now? Janices eyes began to shine in wet tears. Was she actually just a cheater? Why should she fool herself when she cheated on acer so often and technically with boris cheated on vic and on boris with vic. Just... just who is she? That is what shes asking herself. She clenched her eyes closed. Before reopening them and despite boris reaction. She couldnt stop nearing him a bit atleast. She reaches her tire out far and softly tried touching his atleast alittle... she just couldnt help herself. "Y-yes. Though Ivan did not believe me... but i couldnt proof my words with your and mine relationship. B-but yes. Victor raped me. I-i cant believe it myself. Thats also why i hope for the punishment. Boris. I love you like i havent thought i ever could love. Yet i can understand that you probably feel hurt. I-i just want you to know how much i love you, and that i tried all in my power and strength to get out and make him somehow stop." Janices voice began sounding more trembling as she looked even pleading at him. "i dont want you ever to be hurt my teddy. I dont want to loose you! And mostly... i remember your doubts of me going. Dont ever give yourself the fault for that. It was my naiv ways to try aiming for a chance..." janice hated the thought that vic actually treated her like that and did take her forcingly. Ignoring all she does and say. She shook in her tires and her back tires placed inward covering that area... Ashamed of what has happened. Its awful to be raped. But then of someone you thought was on your side...a friend! Someone you trusted with heart. it was crushing of every believe and selfworth. She just felt used and guilty but didnt want to signalize it too much to boris by words. She didnt want him to feel guilty for this.

To that file... tanys last letter was attached. Laminated to stay save from water and other things. It seemingly was really and important letter for vlad. But max first on went to read the file...
-Mission Melemonsense part 78-
Beforeword.
For notice to myself. This original path of events shall not be getting to outside cars. Suggestting total silence about it to the other lemons, in awareness of real outcomes in this case or privat handelings. This is a break of rule from miles law sentence §A-31. Obeydiance is required for the case that other cars may come to idea to take back the freed member or get back incontact with it. This is forbidden by my word to my members, measures be taken otherwise by me personally.- signed: Vladimir Trunkov.
Eventually, i just couldnt put any trust to janice here on this mission. Despite that recently i rather try to take some distance for our boths best. She isnt in the state and time anyway. And only disappoints me. So i had to set my decision on tany. Which i actually was thankful for. Just that day, i need her support just by being present near me. And ian thankful for that. Her abilitys shall not be underestimated. She fitted in perfectly to that mission as undercover car. And did her job so smoothly and perfectly like i havent seen it in years from a member so new. Even some small amount of long higher ranked cars werent that good in it. Maybe benefit of the look but she proofed often that her personality and words arent a mask. She got everything done in fast time. Money has been delievered to me as it should. The cover had been blown and we got away with a shock to say the least. Break off to this deal sadly. Meaning less amount of money for the family, again. And being harassed by that man myself. Things went on and my members decided to spend some time together and go raiding. Permission was set. But i would have never thought and imagened that this is the last time i see the emerald shimmers of a members eyes. Tany said she went with the others. And gave me this letter. Hidden underneath that hat. I couldnt help but promise her to give her a chance for a better life. She means alot to me. And it will always stay on like that deep inside of me. Just what i regret the most, is that i never could say goodbye properly. But maybe that was for the best aswell. Blessings to one faithfull member of the trunkovs and her ongoing life.
-note to tolga if seen - i should have stayed completly formal in my words as usual. But as you know me. In those topics, i cant.-

It isnt a myth that when someone looks at you, while you sleep. It has quite an affect and lets you awaken eventually. (For real) Same went for vladimir. As max went back to read the file. In rush of emotions of his own way. Vlad actually saw tany moving again. But the environment got alittle darker. Vlad gazed at her worried and she smiled. Just shortly rubbing her her cheek softly at his. Vlad closed his eyes and smirked. Enjoying this sweet gesture. But as he struggled opening his tired eyes again. He suddenly only saw a black room around himself. He held his tire out to where tany stood and actually sighed heavily, seeing she is gone. Remaning for a few seconds in his position before smiling warmly touched. All he could think of, was a thank you. He felt like he owed her something yet it ended up that she was the one giving him an unforgettable memory in his dream. Vlad was silent and stayed in his bed for a while. Enjoyed the warm feel and actually wanting to let the memory tighten in his mind... silently vlad slowly moved one tire after the other to the ground. He surprisingly didnt felt too awfull after the alcohol and had luck probably. Yet there remained a effect on him. Aswell as his current thoughts. He drove to his drawer and checked the time. It was way too late but he decided to shower and eat smth then bc he knew he rather should.... he slowly moved over his nice soft carpet to his door. And he lightly opened it. Moving his hood outside the room already.

Boris felt this act of Victor as something personal. Like he just showed Boris who is the boss here and stomped him into the mud with this act. This what else he felt beside painful feel for Janice. If he took her against the wish was it means there was no fault of Janice? Why he ignored his dream and fears so blindly. He let himself stop and laid on the floor. The feels took another direction as the wave being controlled by a hard wind. It all returned hardly on his own body. He was angry and felt devastated to show himself in that light, it was almost unbearable to stay here now but where else he could go anyway? Here it was his room too. A tear rolled down on his metal and he felt useless and helpless, the only a thing he could do here is cheering up Vlad it seemed and made his time better. But what could he do against a lemon boss now? Right, just swallow all that happened to his girlfriend and it lowered his self-esteem perceptible. It pushed on him as the weight and the feel to pay back fought his own sanity. It was insane to go and the same insane to be actless it seemed. He already saw Janice stood right before him. He opened his eyes but looked away of her when she grabbed his tire again "Janice. W-why did you go? You knew better than me. You should've. No, i should have stopped you. What should i do with myself now? I'm.. I'm sorry i let it happen. I'm.." He clenched his eyes and teeth and raised himself wanting to leave the room. He felt Janice held his wheel and leaned on it though, but it was too hard to show the feels before her and he needed a good calm for his mind.

Max read through the official information of Vlad and finally was able to be distracted from Vlad's words being all focused on that. His eyes moved from left to right and back. He already expected to see that her death and the reason is going to be secret but closer it was to the end than more he realised. The last words almost made him gasp and he covered his mouth shocked and perplexed. Ongoing life? He looked forward and then down, a slim nervous smile appeared on his face shortly. He still felt the pain but now he had the whole hope and he knew she is alive. She left this place safely, she wasn't killed. His eyes shone and he felt relieved slowly. This was not in vain, it will let him get rid off awful thoughts and nightmares of her death. While the feels rushed through him he switched to the letter she left. Last thing he read and get away he thought. It was almost done.
Last letter of Tany <3
( Vlad I'm sorry but I made a hard decision for myself, i feel like I can't stay here anymore and every day brings me down making me lose my true feels. You, Dima and Cole the only persons to who I could talk. You made a big kind gesture accepting me in your team even if I'm different, and unfortunately, I will be always different. You overestimated me and I'm sorry about it. I should run away and i.. im giving up on Max. My life can't go in this flow anymore.
Some cars on the oil rig wish me to die or suffer for just because of who I'm. Don't you find it similar to something? I must live with the cars the same as me, I don't have enough strength to adapt and go through this. Please don't look for me, I never wished you bad things and I never talked about the oil rig with other cars. Because I didn't want to hurt literally a couple of cars from this huge swarm. You can be sure no one will know about this place. Forgive me.)
Max felt so many mixed together feels. He wanted to take the letter with him, he wanted to read it all over again as the last words she wrote herself being here. He traced over the letter with his tire and closed eyes. He laid down and mouthed ' i'm sorry' he started to read this letter over but heard long sigh, or was it just breathing. He raised himself and listened carefully. Sadly he was sure it was Vlad keeping to snore. He looked down at the file again and shut his eyes in pain slowly closing it. So much more news for Alex, he hoped he would help him to clear it all out as the thing with Vlad loving Tany" Slowly he grabbed it and turned his body to put it back in the drawer he saw hood appeared out of the doorway. The second passed. Max flinched in shock and back off almost right in the table. Vlad also was caught off guard by that and quickly turned the light on in the room. Both narrowed their eyes being flashed for a moment. It was bad, very bad. Max couldn't move at first being in a stupor. He wanted to flee now but would it make sense? Probably only make it worse. He couldn't determine yet how Vlad will react since he just woke up. He realised he has to save himself now and the way out was only the right words. Maybe it was. He moved one of his tires forward and gazed at Vlad, his voice sounded uneven "Wait, please, let me explain myself in that light. I'm here to know more about Tany. I should've known because i love her and it's a painful feeling to stay unaware of her death. Not death though. She is alive." He shortly smiled again but he saw Vlad as another car right now before him. He didn't know what to expect now but he worried and still the curiosity took the upper side "I thought you hated her and you killed her, but what now? You loved her??"

It hurt janice more then anything else to see boris actually looked away from her. She saw a returning thing in a way. Like the moment were she called vlad family and musicpartner but shall just back off. She looked sad and hurt but totally could understand boris. Mostly how he lowered. He must really not feel well too. She moved her tire more forward and held his tire tightly now as she spoke softly but sad and hurt herself. "I was going bc i didnt saw the light. And victor guided me with a false promise to give me the way to that light. It was wrong and another lie of his like so many in the past. But luckily through ivan i found the better way. I can sense that this must be crushing to you teddy. But stop this. You shall not excuse yourself for smth that isnt your fault." Janice put her tire to his cheek now and kissed him. Knowing that he may doesnt even want it rn. But she wanted to strength her words. "This all wasnt your fault. It was my mistake teddy. Iam sure about that. Iam the one knowing victor prolly better then the bosses even sometimes. And still i was stupid enough. But do not fault yourself! What you shall do with yourself..., is to maybe process this now... i actually am against it but maybe you should get a smoke. Iam gonna be fine teddy as long as i know you gonna feel alittle better soon. Iam sorry you had to hear this right after this nice time with vlad." She backed off. Symbolizing to let him some space now.
-------
Vlads eyes followed every of max's move. He didnt show any kind of expression at first. Disbelieving that this is real rn. Vlad even blinked alittle longer once to make sure he didnt fell asleep again. But to him, he sadly didnt. He moved more out of his bedroom but didnt come much more near to max yet. There was a long moment of silence in which max and vlad looked at eachother as vlad narrowed his eyes but kept an eyelid lightly raised... he seemed not too amused but quite tired
"No you didnt."
Was the first words vlad spoke out. He silently neared max. And took the file roughly away from him aswell as tanys letter and puts them in his front. He turns; closed the office door and build up some distance again between eachother. Vlad felt really uncomfortable himself innerly rn. And hit at a most vulnerable point. It was unbelievable for vlad to see max exactly here rn, with tanys files and those words. Vlads soft spot for tany hurt on that. He spoke quite direct here and that with much point of despise behind it
"You dont love her.
Who gave you that smart idea to come here anyway huh? Was it victor? Wanting to aim another hit against me? I dont wanna hear more lies at the moment. I have own sources for that. And so i dont think that you came here bc you actually cared for her. Someone who cares wouldnt have done what you did. And hurt someone with such a pure heart as hers. You treated her just like an object and she stayed faithfull for you. Bc she! She loved you. But iam glad she got over it and actually seeks out a better life now. But if you regret your doings now. Congrulations, its too late but you better do. And know that what you did is prolly not gonna be forgotton by that poor girl. She was your girlfriend for gods sake! And you just treated her like dust and an object of lust. I hope you realized that shes so much more than that. Full of talent, care, empathy, bravery and a heart for the living and the shine on this world. Its a disgrace that you dared snooping deep into infos that are supposed to keep her safe. I tell you that, iam sure that she definitly is better off not to see you again. She prolly doesnt even want to after all what has happened and these dark memorys. Despite this all, she stayed strong and cheerfull. If you try to be like your boss here, no. You wont get to take her again for having fun. Thats what iam meaning with my words here btw that she may doesnt even want to have a backlash with memorys." Vlad took a long breath but closed his eyes hurt. It was hard for him to believe that max was here with good intentions after all he did to tany. Vlad despised max for that in a way. Mostly bc vlad had a total different moral and also felt so much for tany... he would have wanted to see more appreciation of max in past days. But no, none.
"Maybe it would have been better if you stayed in your believe instead of snooping around in things that aint yours. Yesi do love her, and i love her still. There doesnt exist a past form of the word "love" to me here in this case, which for you it maybe does. But enough of that. You gonna stay in my office now and wait till miles will arrive."

Boris kept eyes closed and leted Janice to stay on his wheel. He felt at some point even better this way because it was supporting. He pursed his lips and swallowed when Janice kissed him. He couldn't answer with the same right now but her support was apreaciated on inner levers which was very important to him. Just to process it and smoke... He oddly didn't feel a strong wish to go for smoking. Maybe just the fact that he smoked before come to the room or the fact that he felt slightly sick imagining Victor on Janice. He didn't look back at Janice but when she let him go he turned away and left the room. He drove outside and went at the garden. He even didn't want to go there but his wheels lead him in this way. He opened it and felt a warmth covering his body in this summer house. He laid down on the grass and shutted his eyes. Tears rolled down now freely and he was alone so he couldn't shy of it anymore. With his wheel he found a box of cigarettes and took one out dropping it in the grass at first. Soon when it was lighted he made a deep breath almost making himself cough by accident. He blew out a smoke and opened his eyes looking through transparent roof upon the dark sky. He knew he would hurt Janice too right now. Maybe even make her cry but he couldn't stop it without getting alone sadly. If she maybe would hold him he would stay with her. Now though he didn't know how it will go anymore. The thoughts about Ivan and Miles rarely showed up in his mind. Janice just told him not to feel a guilt because obviously it is not what she would wish for Boris. He still saw it there. He breathed in more and felt how his body felt the ground like a swing. He realised he overdid it tonight. Alcohol, stress and an intensive smoking twisted his stomach. He sweated under his breath and put cigarettes down on the ground putting fire out with his tire. He breathed some fresh air calmly and slow. " What is going on with my life? Why is all fall on me so sudden ? Why???" He wanted to believe it was bad times but it couldn't be a coincidence. He felt like he were cursed since the first trouble happened with Janice. It all just went on and on. No wonder Vlad eventually gave up even loving her. No . Stop Boris. He put wheels on his roof and wanted these thoughts to stop. He was afraid that Vlad was correct about Janice. Even if he clearly saw it all was not only her fault.
------
Max looked not friendly at first but he felt how Vlad damaged him inside with the sharp words. Making him feel awful and ashamed again for all he had done to her. He didn't show any hint that he felt pain at first but here it was needed. He was shocked yet that Vlad admited the love to Tany. He looked down then on the floor sorrowful letting Vlad to talk all out. How Vlad described his past treat to tany forced him to clench teeth. He shook his hood and when Vlad finished it he spoke now " Not true. No,, no, it's not true. I love her ! And how,, how can you know that? Everything what you saying it's... I was not in my mind. this is was totally my wish to come here and know more! Victor doesn't even know it ! I didn't... I didn't even plan to tell him anything. I regret a lot but what could I do? My mind was out of control and I lost my memory. I didn't remember her and I was.. fooled around.* he blinked thinking how even Alex had to lie to max back then* I gained it back and Janice told me that Tany was killed ! You don't know how it hit me and hurt me! And I'm actually so happy that she's alive. I should have know this.. and even if I had to secretly come to your office for that. It was the only one choice I saw. We all can do mistakes and even you did a mistake that you regret about. Except you was in your mind you just didn't know her. If you wouldn't Bring it up again... With your goddamn Janice!"
He snarled in frustration but he knew he should keep it down or he will have no chance to make Vlad let him go. He looked down and closed his eyes before he looked up at Vlad again and shook his hood slowly. His eyes looked demanding and sad
" It is way too early and not worth to call Miles. Don't do this. Please, lemme go. i already got all I wanted and I'll keep that In secret I promise. This is not in my interest to tell it to Victor. Because I still I do care for her."

Janice stood in her room and her eyes still gazed to the door. Eventhough boris has left the room already. Slowly she closed her doors and looks to the fluff oasis she had build for them. "So much to that." She took a pillow and slowly tears build up as she just threw it against the wall, giving a wimmered yell out. Lowly her mind creeped in similiar thoughts to those of boris. Which was ironic. How can i even be loved when i seemingly dont deserve it?! I wanna be loved... but how, when i just disappoint... and forgot how to love myself. Maybe.... maybe vic is right with saying that theres smth i atleast gotta be good at... and thats just pleasing vic and nothing else. Aswell as hurting the ones i love... janice thought these things as if she talked to herself mentally. But she shook her hood as she whiped tears away. Talking whispering outloud now. "N-no. Thats not who i wanna be. no... thats what vic wants me to think. Thats what he wants me to be! But i wont be his disgusting pet. I-i gotta proof myself. No matter if i disappoint even more... but its as daddy says... i shouldnt give up... even if i feel so down. Mostly for my new love. Even if i struggle fighting for myself... why not fight for boris. Teddy... pls feel better soon." Janice sighed and just like boris, she left the room. Now it was empty. She went to the trunkovs building roof and took a musicplayer with herself. And just rested there. Not saying a word and just silently listening to music...

Vlads expression didnt change at all. Only that he felt more personally insulted in a way for max actually denying vlads words. But also, it hurt innerly in vlads heart. Max knew so much. Vlad wont play guess with max and be all open up here. To actually bring his own point across too. Vlad sighed but still didnt yell at max or anything. Just the emotion here sticked on like no other time.
"The fact that you want to know this just to feel better. Is in one way of course understandable. I would have felt the same. But if you would think futher on this criminal life here and mostly that i kept it secret for a reason, lets it seem almost like a pretty egoistic choice of yours. Just to make yourself feel better. And i cant determine if you lie at me. You hugos proofed to be pretty good at that "Vlad sighed deeply took his phone in his tire. " aha, so now you actually play behind victors back too? I would be pleased if you were a member of mine. But no. This just proofes ones more that the hugos are the same. Same goes for janice. I hate mentioning her too myself. Eventhough she held her word luckily about tanys story. Atleast smth. But yeah. I regret having made mistakes regarding janice. And mostly. The past when i didnt knew tany." Vlad looks down and took a deep breath. Getting back to his words. It was hard not to tear here. Bc that past hits him the most till today. "i would like to believe that you werent in your mind back then. That you werent yourself. But you wanna know why i see that this is just a really disrespectfull excuse of you? A kick at tanys heart even. Easily bc, why do you work then for the one who had "brainwashed" you. Who caused her desperated trys to get you back. Even if you were brainwashed back then. I just cant see the true love and regret in you if you treat her broken heart and sorrow like that. But hey. You maybe be pleased. Miles may is the big boss here. But victor will be coming here too. I will make sure of that now. Consequence has to exist max. And you will have to learn to explain yourself. Before victor too even more. That you betray him here, was definitly just a result bc he didnt allowed you to still your guilt. Am i right? Understandably. In the end, my private files. But as i said in the end, that you did this, was to make you feel better. You prolly did regret in a way. I wont be denying that but seemingly not enough regret if you still kiss victors tires despite he caused tany to get in this situation." Vlad sighed and shook his hood. It hurt him himself. But not that he feels with max. He sticked to his opinion. Vlad had enough arguments. And his love to tany and how she got hurt by max was biggest factor.

He stayed on the grass for awhile laying and his wheel slipped down his hood soon. He felt terrible and exhausted yet from all this. His eyes felt heavier every minute he held it close for long. He would stay in the garden to overnight even, it was not a big deal but he knew he must come back to Janice. He must pull himself together and forgive her giving her a good light for the future. She was already broken enough for the last week. And any disappointed look towards Janice could be taken critically. She was needed some support too. He raised his body tiredly and slowly drove to the room. Now, this was empty. He looked around and fall on one side of the bed Janice prepared for them. He worried that she would do something bad to herself and now there was a new reason to not sleep. He got a headache already and gazed emptily at the wall as finally the door opened and Janice entered back to the room. She was happy to see Boris here again, of course, he would return, he loved her even if she managed to hurt him. Slowly she drove closer to him and he gazed in her eyes slowly, with almost no emotions "Janice... Let's sleep now, please. I'm very tired, come lay with me" He stroke the place near himself welcoming her and closed his eyes tiredly "Don't worry about me, i will get over this, i believe you didn't want to hurt me."

Max felt how his body flinched when he saw it's not gonna work so easily for him. But besides that, he was deeply hurt by Vlad's words considering his poor love to Tany. Yes, he indeed came here to know more and calm down himself but he didn't see it egoistic. Rather that he was forced by the feels to do this wrong and harsh act. He only shook his hood still disagreeing Vlad from time to time. He got quiet for a while and looked down processing his words. He then slowly raised his eyes and looked at Vlad disappointed "As if you would understand me, understand what is that means to be brainwashed." He looked away and moved his tire on the floor nervously, he looked almost pissed off. But not at Vlad this time as it may seem. He felt a big confrontation inside of him again. At one side Vlad was correct but from another side, he had no choice. He gets used to them. He learned how to live again with them as with his second family. He hated to be in that situation and see two different sides at the same time. He felt confused. He couldn't deny this to Vlad. Vlad would never understand it anyway. It all was not enough and Vlad began to dialling numbers on the phone. Max struggled a lot to talk to Vlad like this and excuse himself before him, but he spoke out, he saw it so unfair and felt as one aggrieved here. " Why you gotta do this? What did i do to you? Besides that, i went to your office to see files... I.. i love her! I regret all what i did to her, but i can't refuse Hugos. They helped me too! You can't see it the same way as i do, yes i was a fool to do this to her but i didn't know!" He almost shouted last words desperately and watched Vlad's moves in anxious.

Janice searched the emotion in his eyes and at first it nade her sad that there was none. Eventhough she still had a shine of joy in her to see him again. She first was hesitating to do anything and her unsure moment totally got disproven as she heard his words... her lips trembled. They trembled literally towards a smile. And she whiped her hood alittle. And stretching for a second. She gratefully joins the place beside him and lowered... and lowered even more. Till she really lovingly has taken the place beside him. Tilted so warmly into him. She smiled in a worried mix of relief as she whispered. "And you. Dont worry about me too. I couldnt thank you more my love. Sleep tightly, warm and nice." She had her eyes closed long already and they were covered in pillows and blankets. Like a kingdom of fluff. Janice at first though she did that for nothing. And he will sleep somewhere else or in his bed. But she was happy it got used in the end. And that he seemingly decided to forgive her. She couldnt thank him more. She appreciated that so massively. They softly and warmly could sooth into sleep...
--------
Vlad stopped typing and looked at max a bit annoyed but way softer rn. "If you would have been understanding to me too. To my family. At the meeting. And actually not make me work even more nights to keep them safe and prevent everyone from hunger. I would have been highly thankful for that. Also; i repeat. I kept her file secret for her wish and for a reason. Max. Fact is. I may not understand you, and you dont understand me. We wont find a common language here. It may be that the hugos helped you. But then its about you to decided what you worth higher in my opinion. Them or tany. Else you sound only controversal. And dont shout. You can talk normally to me as i do to you. Iam glad you actually admit your mistake and keep on saying that you regret it and that you loved her. But no matter what you say. I indeed dont understand you. And to me you didnt deserve her for your deeds. However. Enough of that. You violated the property and personal space of me. Aswell as the new set rule. And i work very close and trusted with miles. I dont see a reason why i shouldnt report you..." *vlad continued to type. He was all honest to max. He had nothing to hide at this point and vlad does admit his thoughts here bc of that. He reached miles and talked out. "Sorry miles that i have to awaken you at such late hour. But for a reason i would call it important. ... yes.... yes indeed. For that have all my appreciations. What i wanted to report is the fact that a hugo has decided to break into my office. I hold him captive by this minute of time. And he touched the files. I would like, since its about a hugo but also the new rule got broke, that you take victor with you so we can solved this. This instant. I thank you for your time. See you." Vlad clicked on hang up and then gazed at max. He sighed and shook his hood slowly disappointingly too and hurt. Rubbing his hood alittle to calm his nerves...

When Max heard how Vlad started a conversation with Miles he closed his eyes putting his wheel on his eyes dragging it down on the hood and on the floor then. He already wondered what Miles will say but for a reason he feared Victor the most probably. He hoped that his boss will understand him but he had no idea how he will act yet. He didn't know but knew it is not going to be pleasant for all now. He looked at Vlad and held his gaze on him shortly before Vlad finished conversation and looked back at Max. Max looked away not happy and sighed heavily. He wanted to say something sharp to Vlad but decided to be wiser than that. He slowly looked around Vlads office and observed it. He wondered how Tany lived here and how she talked to Vlad. Also another name stuck in his mind. He remembered it was similar to Colin. Cole. Was easy to remember. He rested down on his undercarriage awaiting for Miles and Vic to come here. But still this act of Vlad.. He looked again at him dissapointed and Vlad caught this gaze stating to max " Don't look at me like that. You arranged it all with your own tires.". Max looked away and didn't say anything at first. But he wished he could know more. " And what now huh ?.. Now. It is still should stay a secret if I care. Do you suggest me to lie or spill it all ? You think I wish bad to her? No way. I will still have to keep it as secret. But thank you for the troubles. I don't wanna prove anything to you though but here you will see... I know she deserve a good and calm life. I won't, probably won't ever see her or even if, she will probably reject me... " He spoke last words almost whispering them and rubbed his eyes. At least she was alive.

Janice layed comfortably and was sorrounded but a really calming quietness. She felt how her body is laying comfortably in floof... but it wasnt the place she prepared for herself and boris. It felt like the comfort room. Janice smirk and squeezed the warm pillow aginst herself. She remembers how the trunkovs sat together to create this room, and janice chose that pillow and made vlad chuckle amused. She felt warmth beside her and suddenly cold metal at her lips. Janice sniffed... vanilla and lemon icecream. She smirked and opened her mouth. Enjoying this dream luxury. All was nice and she ate alot of the icecream happily. That couldnt stop her from giving a relaxed sigh "oh teddy, nothing goes over lemon vanilla icecream with a warm sweet sauce." The car beside her chuckled amused "teddy? Hm a strange nickname. But i can truly agree you dear" janice opened her eyes rapidly and slowly gazed at victor. Who smiled and held the spoon in his tire. "W-what are YOU doing here?! And--- w-why you let me die in my dream before." Janice oddly remembered her dream before and had tears in her eyes. Victors gaze sunk down. And he didnt say anything. As if he still didnt cared about that... janice gazed at the ice cream and saw a line that created from the bowl to the spoon. She covered her mouth with her tires and almost vomits yelling. "You cant even say anything to that? I feared the death! I pleaded to you! And now you say nothing to that.... a-and that icecream. Is it what i think it is?" Victor chuckled "you should think for the reason as of why i did that. However, quite correct my dear~" janice made a sound, signalizing how even more sick she felt as she gasped out "you sick bastard. Disgusting" she went full speed and wanted to get away from vic. Fast searching for boris. Ivan or atleast somebody else. T-though she felt that she shouldnt see vlad... rven here. And that it may be better for her. It made her tear and she opened the door of her own room... she stood in the door shocked. It was completly vandalized and at the wall it said things like "worthless, slut, where are you?! You have to come back when i say it!" Janice uncomfortably enters her room. And noticed the vandalozation is quite old already... has she been gone from the rig somehow for long? And angered victor? It was so strange... she didnt want to pick up or touch anything in her room, just in case... she took her journal and it was feeling odd to her. She looked at the pages with vlad, befor joining the hugos... than her fear to vic started, going over to the passion. A site where she completly praised him was welded and had sticked to another for some reason and got waves from that often. She didnt wanted to know why and just put it down... she left the trunkov building and stood outside now... it was quite. Only the ocean was heard and the fire was goin but really weakly. As if someone unprofessional kept it going. She looks to the ground and backed off. Alot of "wanted" flyers. But there was no normal picture on... it was private pics she had given to vic... her heart raced and she feared that ivan saw it. She drove through the hugo territory... nothing. It was strange and she went to every territory. Even to the ships to see if tony is there! But no. Noone. It was as if the whole rig was gone. Janice panicked and went to vlads office anyway... nothing. She teared and soon outside settled down at the rick border in tears. Vic aproached her and breathed exhausted... he definitly has chased and searvhed her. He settled beside her but set his tires uncomfortably at her metal. She pushed him away. "W-what has happened here... why is nobody here?! I-i miss my love, i miss my family for gods sake! And my father!" Victor grunted and cold "why would you care for those? When they never did for you" januce sharply glared at him "they did care! I-i just disappointed them" victor rolled his eyes "call it as you wish. Thing is. They are gone since two years. Dead to be exact. As you see its nighttime. At day, they died one after the other. And worldwide it is suggested to not face the sun. And do not go outside or have window blinds opem at day. Its deadly. There was a warning long ago that something was lost and you should go outside and stand for your culture. Alien shit or smth. Idk. In the end, it was nothing as that. Our earth just had a magnetic switch. And some terrorists found it funny to kill by panic. I was lucky to be the last car standing. And now i life on my on here since two years. And cant get out. But hey~ iam so happy you somehow visited me... you disappeared so sudden long ago. And now its only. You and me. Alone. On this rig. And as long as resources stay, we gonna survive. You cant leave anymore anyway. But iam sure you wont mind that" smth about victor seemed off... he talked as she knows him but just... she felt that smth wasnt right. Did these two years in forced isolation affect him? She felt how he tightly traced his tires over her and held her at her spot even. He growled pleased and janice could see by looking down how he feels and what he wants. She pushed him away again and he growls furious. "You make me insane! So why you arent just accepting it?! You got no other choice when i say it! And who else do you want to, when you have JUST ME!" He growled and janice panickeđ. She fast rushed away to the cell area. She soon had to stop though... not getting far. Smth in her mind extremized weirdly and unrealistically. Vic had a kink for the feeling of taking smth dead. Thats why he played that with janice time to time. Eventhough she hated it. But here... were the dead bodys of the rigs workers. And many of them seemed to have served to keep vic sane... janice felt like vomitting again. But a fear rose up and she fast drove to the trunkovs building roof. Holding the enterance closed so victor wont get up. Yelling for boris!, she had the feeling that he somehow still is there. And after a long time she saw a helicopter in the distance. She had tears and ignored victors yelling, flirts and demands. It landed and janice fast hopped on. Cuddling against boris. Victor finally got on the roof too... and he held tight onto the hlicopter. Janice felt kinda sorry for vic though. She looked worried at boris and they kissed dhortly. The helicopter took off but vic let go fast. Luckily not falling far.... her dream faded out as she could finally relax from that.

"Iam well aware too that you wont spill it. Its like the thing that you came here to make sure she is alive to not feel guilty anymore. And if you spill it, you just can call yourself the one who almost was her murderer. If i wouldnt give all to protect her. But thats still my opinion. I never asked you to proof me anything personally. But you can proof yourself smth here. It is needed that you learn from this situation atleast. And learn to respect the border between our groups. And that iam still an authority to you, no matter what." If it was a family member... vlad would actually want to try seeing it from his view. Vlad even thought about that rn. But max proofed with vic, the meeting, his past acts and even with bullying of jan, eventhough vlad felt much different about this rn, that max didnt change though and just is an hugo. So vlad could not determine at all how honest max truly is. And they wont gonna get on an same level
That was clear since minutes already to both of them. And vlad sticked clear in his standpoint as he shortly took tanys file out and sighs. Vlad checked if the office door really was locked andthen moved to his bedroom. Hiding the file for starters in his nightstand. Vlad smiles and held his tire on it shortly. Turning his path and attention back into the main room. Vlad made tea then. Like max didnt look at him often. Vlad didnt look at him often too. Just sometimes checking his sidemirror. Once the tea was prepared, he put it on his small round table. That was when it knocked. Vlad sighed. He was well aware too that it be unpleasent. He unlocked the door and first gave miles a respectful nod. "Iam glad you could make it here big boss." Miles nodded back and directly set his eyes on max shortly. Victor then entered. But stopped besides vlad. Both just glared at eachother for a second. As if they gonna attack. But slowly victor began to smile satsfied and vladimir scoffed. Closing the door. Vic directly moved to the table and served himself. Taking a cup of tea. He gazed at max serious. And motioned strictly for him to move beside him... just oddly he pointed to the tea then almost unnoticably. For max to do similiar as vic did. So max had a tea now too. Vlad sighed "uhh yeah i made tea for this. I wanted to offer it rn. But oh well here we go again." Miles raised an eyelid at vic. And vic gave a curious look back.... miles had thought about the janice case here. He took a tea "thank you alot for this service vlad. Ok. So. May i be informed of what has gone down today" victor grumbled and cold answered "yes. In the middle of the night!" He almost yawned but held it back asap. It felt intense in a way an vlad slowly neared them to talk more direct "ok. I have been awoken by this hugo member, rummaging in my files. Taking the file of our dead member tany. He read details and information. And i dont wanna know how much secret and group intime important infos he has soaked up. But its a break of our new rule and most importantly old ones. Since the cold war between my and the hugos group exists, these information have higher risk of being misused." Miles nods adding for vlad "also. A violation of privacy laws." Victors grumpy expression didnt change. And max already looked down afraid of what comes... victor raised his voice for just two words. "So what?" That surprised all of them actually and miles narrowed his eyes. Even max was surprised. Vlad hissed "What, -so what?- victor. This is a lawbreak and not a childrens fight. And we well know that you would be drooling for these infos. Did you really didnt know about this as max stated" vic raised an eyelid. Not changing his gaze here. He had a direct path before him here "yes i indeed didnt knew of that. But i do kinda feel that this is like a game. Truly vlad. He is a new member. Just has gained memory back not long ago. And isnt even mentored since long. He might be on his path for being someone greater and in perfect shape as we saw on the meeting. But that does no mean that he can be taken into guilt as long as he hasnt handled this uncontrolled return of memorys. Miles. You know from rue too well that memorys arent smth to joke around with. And a real bitter topic. Isnt that so?" He waited till he got a reaction of miles and continued" And so i state. I promise he will be bettering himself. For that i always have a will anyway and it can be taken as promise as for my group training its hardest. Vlad, to calm you. I have no use with an dead members info so calm down. What shall i do? Dig up her dead body? And what then? No. That isnt my style at all... so. Better suggestion. On the next meeting, we mention this again and will come to a compromise." Miles was angered aswell as attacked at first with rue. But he actually saw both sides good here... he sighs and does agree to smth. "Yes. Its quite late. And i will think deeper about it. Mostly bc a punishment will be required for this. And you will have to take it vic. No compromises. So we will have it as topic of our next meeting too. But victor. I take your attitude into account for this aswell. You all can go for now." Victor glared at vlad and vlad glared back. Vlad wasnt pleased with this at all and felt it was another hit... at the same time he thought in a meeting it be better and vic atleast will get his rightfull punishment aswell as max. That hope calmed vlad atleast alittle. Bc that was for sure going to be happening. And honestly it was indeed quite late. Victor just said goodbye and left with max just like that fast. Done. So unpredictable. Miles stayed a bit and vlad actually let some struggles out rn. Just requesting alittle moneywise support which he luckily got. Vlad sighs deeply as miles left and went back to his bed after eating smth. That alcohol still hit, and now even more weirdly. Vlad dugged himself into his pillows. Even if he won. He wasnt fully satisfyied. Victor and max's words. They were just teeth gritting... and heartcutting. Vlad glanced at tanys file again and smiles. Finally falling asleep again.this situation was just too crazy for vlad rn.
Outside. Victor just stood. Coughing to let max notice something. "I cant drive max. Miles brought me here. Bring me back my office." Max followed that order obviously. Why wouldnt you help someone who cant drive? But smth didnt left max's attention though. Vic actually helped him getting out of this situation?! Its like max thought mins ago. The hugos helped him. And vic did here too. Though. Is vic judgeable to be angry anyway though? Definitly not after this. It still was smth you probably havent seen coming from victor though.

Not matter what Vlad said he couldn't understand Max. He just waved with his tire and looked away " I still feel a guilt.. who told you I don't.." he said it quiet and didnt know if Vlad heard it ( buttears heard all ). He saw how Vlad took Tanys files and took it to the room. Because of this act he felt angered and frustrated. Even if Vlad kept her safe he couldn't treat and show it like tany was belong to him only. It seemed as if he did it on purpose before Maxs eyes. As if telling to him you won't know more than that because you don't deserve. Max thought he obviously deserved to know more. It was so unfair. He looked at the door time to time when Vlad was in the room. He felt not well to be in his office and wanted it all to be over quick. He thought how he will explain it and prepared a story for Vic which would avoid the fact that Tany is alive. He just pretend he never saw it. He heard a knock and raised himself up. As Miles entered he sighed and after a short eyecontact looked at Victor. He already himself slowly drove to stand beside Victor. He didn't want to drink tea but did as Victor told him except trying to drink it quicker in a row as if he was thirsty. He put an empty cup down and listened the conversation. He saw how Victor acted and then his words ! It was odd but best he could expect from his boss to see. He noted that Vlad was not correct again remembering how he said on the meeting that Vic doesn't care of his members. He did show it at least before others instead of putting max into uncomfortable situation. Max was highly grateful for it. And let himself relax body feeling safe beside Victor. He couldn't believe Victor seemed to understand him. He didn't like the idea it to be mentioned on the meeting later but sadly he knew Miles would not lay off so easy.
When they left the office Max drove a little forward and looked at Victor actually forgetting at first that Vic doesn't usually drives himself. He pushed Victor to the office easily and waited when he will open it. Victor weirdly didn't ask Max to leave yet and so Max entered his office deciding to give a short explanation. He sighed shortly and started
" I'm sorry It had to happen and Vlad woke you up so early. I didn't expect him to wake up.. it seemed that you understand me though and I'm grateful for it because Vlad just overreacted in my eyes. I mean, i had to know more or else it would haunt me, to not know how she died" Max looked sad and didn't actually had to faigne much because it still hurt him." Janice was correct about it.. I didn't believe her though, didn't want to believe and rather know it myself. I will not going to do smth stupid like this anymore. It is not necasarily to teach me how to respect other properties because I'm aware of that. It was just needed."

Victor was pleased that max actually began receiving orders without having to talk them out. Just like alex. Atleast some improvement seen here. And as advisor its important too to see this in vics eyes. So vic actually was not unpleased about that. He listened to max and leaned to the side while watching serious the movement of his eclipse member.
"I kinda knew already that something like that will happen. Mostly after alex asking for permission. Let me guess. You took own justice like that? I would have been even more okay with it if you actually pulled this off in perfection and get not caught. Yes. You even would have impressed me. But still i anyway kinda saw it coming. As said, and also bc i knew it haunted you. Little advise. Best would be if you and alex stay away from janice and vlad. I dont think that mostly she can serve you any help anymore in her rejected state anyway. So why waste your time on that? To be honest. Your act though wasnt seen as too bad anymore by me. After this new rule on the meeting, i think vlad needed a slap into reality and how silly this is. He did overreact now luckily actually. Thats why i indeed wont punish you. Just remember to follow my goddamn orders next time." He stomped his tire hardly down and sighed with a slight growl. "Bc even if, i still gotta take a dishonor for our group now! Amd you know what this means to me! This one time, i will take your quite proper and tidy excuse for a hugo as granted. But your words arent the only reason. You can call yourself lucky that you are the bestest new choice for me at the moment for another advisor. Just dont get too brave with that. What i wanna have as exchange though, is that i saw that you and alex work great together as dynamic. Getting information, threaten, and bring authority out to other groups. Seen by your bullying to janice. For that i want you two to stick to that. Stick together. And serve me for those things too. It doesnt sound bad to spread a bit more of my word... IF NEEDED of course. And get infos from other groups and their files. But before we really get to that. I will give you two time to get better in it. Sounds like a deal? So if i ever order. I hope you two are ready to help our group out. For that i even understand that you had to do this. I hope you feel better now after reading the file. Now. Make me a tea and then you are free to go." Victor rolled his eyes and moved slowly to his bedroom waiting. But still saying smth "unbelievable that this trunkov makes such a drama when you actually are the reason he even got to know her. But whatever. Was there anything interesting i should maybe know. Report me."

Max stood on his wheels like frozen for awhile showing to Victor respect, he saw that Vic had a short outburst and lowered himself a bit. Still trying to keep his look serious and interested. The idea of Victor though to make him and Alex to someone like collectors didn't sound so nice right now. Especially knowing how the new rules going to work soon he worried they might get into a problem and also Alex likely will groan once he will figure he got new duties. Only that 'sometimes if it's needed' calmed him. He turned himself and started to prepare tea for Victor, he looked around the table before to see where is the things located till he figured. He looked aside when Victor asked him for the details and drawled " Well... He wrote a lot about her. There were not so much of important things that may interest you, as you said. What you can do if she's gone already. Vlad seemingly is very sad about it, he cared about her. Though he says i didn't deserve love from her, he says i'm not loving her because i work... Here." He put a lemon in tea and seeing that sugar was nearby he sugared it not much and hoping that it's okay he left it on the table and back off closer to the door. He, of course, decided not to tell most of what he read, and he hoped Vic truly won't care too much and let Max go. "Thanks for understanding. I will not forget it, i heard what you said considering Janice and Vlad. We won't touch them." He for real didn't consider to break this order of Victor. He just hoped there will be no provokes from Trunkovs. Then it would be fair like that. He was actually even more thankful that Vlad said he won't punish him because before he was afraid to be ranked down even. When Victor left his bedroom Max pointed on the table where the tea was "It's right there." He blinked tiredly "I'm sorry again for all that turmoil in the night, may i go now? I think i need some sleep"

"What does he know about who deserves whos love when seemingly he isnt good at his own moral. Listen to my words. Hypocritical acts of others shall not influence the way of your opinion. You clearly were in the right here. Working with vlad wouldnt have been much better though, when he originally tried to kill her back then already. Thats actually even worse. But its your mind and your decisions about that and now. Just try not to break rules so riskingly again." Victor looked through his room and prepared his sleeping place as he had in mind and outside attention quite high for max rn. That luckily dropped though bc victor did indeed see no interest in any of those infos. He gazed outside at max and decided to wait till grabbing his tea.
"Well done. However, its no wonder that vlad overdramatized just like with every other member in his group. Just weird that she "means so much to him" but he let her die. Away with that now. You got atleast infos you needed. So it wasnt completly useless. Sadly for me there isnt anything interesting. But ok. For now. Dont worry for my order. I dont see a reason yet to send you two out but iam glad that seemingly you received all my words well. Carry on. The "turmoil" will be forgotten by your follow of orders. So now do really sleep. I dont wanna cross you out for another day of work. See you tomorrow." Victor gave a nod and watched max leaving "close the door behind you." As max did. Victor sighed and calmly Drove over to the tea. He took a sip and shrugged. Max had luck grabbing vics favorite one. Back to his resting place vic cruised and settled lowly and quite spreaded on it. Catching on his stolen sleep.
As max went to his room. Nothing much hindered him. There were night workers passing him from time to time. Sometimes looking at max or giving a respectful not. But that was quite variated. Finally back in his room. Max almost crashed down on his mattress in a way and it felt so soothingly warm and soft. Aswell as tender. And he did get thoughts back about tany. Mostly vlads words stopped him suddenly from sleeping but he tried covering that up with the awareness that tany is alive. Most important here. And it was a big relief in the end.

Max felt tired and moved along the bed trying to lay in a comfortable position. He thought a lot about what had happened. He wondered if Tany still loved him. Though it sounded not realistically to him at some point. Just to calm himself he tried to make himself believe that she does though. But if not... it will break his heart. He didn't know what to do with it now. If he ever secretly will try to find her and even if he will manage then what? She either will send him away either she will admit she loves him still. But to what it will lead? He will never to be able to leave the group so easily. Especially not with Victor. Even if he showed himself as understanding and wise boss last night, which only make max like him more it is really unlikely he will let Max go just because he loves someone. Does even love allowed here? What if Tany will find someone else and replace him. He would not blame her for that still but he wanted to say sorry at least for all he has done to her. He needed advice anyway from his bro. It took him about an hour to be able to come back to his sleep and soon he finally was able to. He didn't have a single dream though and slept like a rock till the alarm woke him up.
He stretched himself and grunted tiredly slipping down on the floor. That didn't look like he had enough but he knew he gotta work properly today considering that he already screwed up before Victor last night.
He observed his kitchen for a while and thought that he could actually make smth himself. But he had nothing in his fridge to make. He eventually decided to drive to the canteen. As usual, there were many cars and when he got his tea and some hashbrown he looked around searching for a place. He stopped not far from a random car when he actually saw that he knew him. It was Conelian and he talked to others, likely his friends. He didn't notice Max yet being too distracted and mixing his tea with a spoon way too long. Max shrugged it off and bite some of the hashbrowns. When Conelian finally mixed sugar in tea enough Max could hear the conversation, it was when he started to drive to the topic about torturing someone recently with all the details, it seemingly didn't bother or interrupted Conelian's meal. Moreover, it looked like he finished already and had only drink. But Max looked disgusted and another Hugo who wasn't with them gave Max an understanding look. Max reached out with his tire to Conelian and attracted his attention. Max looked neutrally at him" It is maybe interesting but not when cars around you eat, you can discuss it later okay?"
(dont write jan's part, i already started it and will include on my next answer :3)

Some hugos actually gaze over now while eating. Some seeming interested and others reliefed. Though conelian took a great sip of his tea and looked over at max quite pissed off. You could see his eyes travel for a second before he actually began smirking quite weirdly again as soon as he recognized max. Conelian actually felt really great. A nice meal and a really great torture session that had passed. With positivity of vic in a way. Bc of that he actually was insulted by max interrupting him if it wouldnt be so unexpected. But he took that with swing. His friends leaned forward to watch conelian and max's interaction. They look at max almost judgingly and evil at the same time. They surely didnt forget the "fun" they had together, why would they.
"nice seeing an old partner again. If you want, you actually can join this exchange of words. I mean, you did have your fun with this aswell. Dont tell me that you aint missing this job. In the end. You killed that women not bad actually. We still have the trophy of your doings if you care~. Ah i believe you still cant see what you did yourself but whatever. Mashallah, i am not that loud and believe for 12 hour shifts in the dark garage, i should exchange some things that went good about it. But shouldnt a high rank like you eat in his room anyway." Conelian wantwd to be more rude but he did know max was a high rank, eventhough he doubts that max deserved it. He also saw that some other hugos looked displeased at conelian... smacking his lips shortly to the taste of his tea before looking at it and twitch with his eyelid. "It wont be for long. I will finish my words anyway. That wont hurt." He wasnt the most popular car guessable, but had a good group of cars that seemingly stood for him rn. But obviously many didnt really like these talks so often in the mornings...

Max watched Conelian's weird moves with a cold face until he mentioned his kill. It was like a hit below the belt to hear it again and he narrowed his eyes looking away shorty displeased. He knew and could determine Conelian mentioned it on purpose to distract Max and low him to his own level for a time. This scene back in his mind made him hungry even less now and he was determined to get rid of anything close to it right now. He did see it just like an ignore from Conelian and if he will deal with it it will count of as his words are nothing to him or he doesn't respect Max's opinion. And he likely didn't really respect. His voice still sounded not loud but more serious.
"What? No, i 'ain't' missing this dirty job. Not at all, so i won't join on that conversation. We worked only once with you so don't hurry to call me an old partner, i guess just more work for you, have fun with it. And exchange it as much as you desire but then be so kind, leave the canteen. I don't care about that trash and don't wanna hear it, same as some cars around me"
Max gazed around shortly too see if he would have any support from others but they rather just looked curiously hiding their eyes sometimes to not look so obvious interested while someone groaned not far behind Conelian thinking that Max is just being annoying.

In the morning when Trunkovs also started their day Tolga met up Vlad on the meeting. He already knew last night Vlad delayed a case with the prisoners and looked questioningly at his boss asking if he feels okay. Vlad indeed looked not so fresh because of the alcohol and last night incident with Max. He just nodded and after the meeting called in Tolga in his office. He told him what happened last night and that Max tried to snoop on Tany's files and Tolga was outraged about how Victor reacted and covered his worker considering this bad trick. It was just disrespecting, they badly had to admit it but however nothing new from Victo's or Hugo's behaviour whatsoever. It actually angered Tolga even when Vlad told him now Max's knows that he loved Tany. He just couldn't trust to Max with this and if he would ever spill, that would put his boss, not in the best light. He though tried to calm Vlad saying that the meeting should solve it and make them pay, he for real hoped Hugos would be as minimum disgraced by this doing.
Vlad gave a smile to Tolga and placed against the pc turning it on, soon he saw that website again and blushed, remembering how they talked to some women yesterday with Boris. Tolga only could see his boss reaction and wondered what was there. Vlad chuckled and closed the website for now "I and Boris had some fun last night, he registered me on the website. Ohh I'm even embarrassed to tell it to you Tolga. But we got quite drunk and Boris pushed me on that with jokes so i agreed. In a nutshell, this is a website for dating. Please, don't ask more. I'm going to get rid of my page later. Your boss maybe was drunk and even slept in the room finally in a long time but still, Hugo's failed so i hope i'm not that bad yet" He chuckled to make the situation not so serious before Tolga.
-----
Boris opened his eyes slowly in the morning. It was dark yet but the sun started to rise. He looked at the clock and saw it was around 8 am. Janice slept nearby and he scratched his side feeling how awfully he is thirsty. He slowly left the bed trying to not wake Janice up, he left the room to quench his thirst. Janice quickly felt though that as soon as he left it was not so warm anymore so she opened her eyes looking around and yawning. She just looked down and traced his pillow with her wheel waiting for him to come back. She sighed heavily remembering last night, she knew Boris going to talk out more today. She hoped for it. She narrowed her eyes and leaned down as the door opened again. Slowly Boris rested near Janice again and gazed down on her. His face looked neutral to Janice but he put his wheel over her roof pressing her closer to himself. He didn't say anything for a while though Just enjoying the touches and the moment. Obviously, he still felt hurt after yesterday but he tried to not bring it up anymore. His wheel slipped down to her rear and he put his wheel down letting her go with a long sigh. " I don't really feel like i want to talk about that. But... I just can't put it in my mind how he dared to use you so easily. He just spat on your feelings, i hope you realised it. I talked with your father yesterday and he, he is a nice man. Way better than his boss, i think he should be more authoritative to you. No wonder you hurt him because it looks like it went too far. Janice, please say to me something, and i want it to be sincere. Do you still feel to Victor? Did he really pleased you all this time?"

Conelian raised an eyelid as max actually sounded way more authoric. It was kind of impressing, conelian gotta admit innerly. But he doesnt say that out. He rather looked at ine of his friends to the side, the one who groaned, and then gazed at this purple oppenent again, talking in a inagery motion "Ohh i most certainly will have fun with it. In the end, our work is highly needed, just as yours. Its just kind of sad that you wanna forget that place. In the end, we did have alot of fun. How that tooth broke off or how you slowly saw the metal rip. The pipes, vains and blood reveal till finally it splurded out like a popped bubble tea. Luckily it didnt spladder too much at us. I gotta admit, that it ripped some parts of the eyes off too was a bit disgusting but ey. Sucessful work brings its fruits am i right? And i got positivity of that day. But enough of that; i think you should rather intend to visit us anyway one day. If you want or not. I know my worth and would be loving a visit~ so be patient. Let me finish my tea first." He still seemingly didnt listen. And hugos who watched didnt seem too pleased while conelians friend rolled their eyes and grinned. One hugo raised his voice.... but it was unclear who it was... "i dont think that its as disgusting as you, you with that shit you did with your sister." Conelians eyes shot open and he growled. "Ok. Who said that? Come." It was actually a file kept secret and conelian growled as he looked through the mass... he had no clue of that voice and max did neither. Conelian slowly neared max. He did not dare to touch max, even if he wanted to push him. And just neared max extremely near. "Whoever that was. I will leave this canteen. But better try doing your job here alright for once and try preventing smth like that from happening. Instead of freezing in place. Back then i motivated you, and actually tried helping you.
High rank." He scoffed but his freaky eyes still looked upon max as he finally turned around, and left the canteen together with his friends. Some hugos groaned in relief, a hugo who was really near max gave a nod "thank you. Idk, you dont know how often this actually happens. He just doesnt see when its enough."
---------
Tolga chuckled lightly and warmed up a pierogi fast in the microwave of vlad. Splitting it in half and sharing it with his boss. He was amsued but definitly saw the need for some more proper recover for his body.
"Why would that make you bad? You are in the right here. And i think its better if you only sleep in your bed. I mean, it still looks as if you just bought it. Just sadly it couldnt do much effect fast. I would recommend you to take it a bit easy today boss. I know you usually dont do that at all even hesitantly when being sick. But let me and petrov work together and handle some work for you today. You will go sleep again and later grab smth good to eat." Tolga chuckled "just a recommendation. I would offer that to you. Mostly bc today many cars would actually wanna see you and i think it wont be too ideal rn. But iam glad that you and your friend had used the time... we... interesting." Tolga smirked shortly before looking neutral again and just keepin up a calm atmosphere. "Hehe but dont be afraid. I dont do much wiser things when being drunk and you know that quite well boss. But if you were so drunk. Do you even remember anymore who you wrote with. Just what a night." Tolga found it a bit ironic how fillled with the girl topic it was but he wont put that too high onto vlads mind. Just appreciating that fun little mess around of them. But it made him wonder how much vlad is thinking about this himself. He of course knows his boss but care is there anyway. still same with the tany case. Tolga hoped that meeting will indeed solve this. He lightly sighed but stayed attentful near his boss. Actually listening if he intended to share what happened online. Vlad chuckled a bit embaressingly touched and had to look again himself.
---------
Janice sticked to that position he put her in and just enjoyed the warmth and nearness. Its what she needed the most rn. She pawed lightly with her tires at his metal aswell before resting off from that aswell by the way his tire slipped down. Just smth of this made her feel that words be incoming. Thoughtfull words. She was aware he needed to process that. And she totally understood and wanted to help him with that, but it wasnt the most confortable situation anyway... she leaned the weight of her hood against him and closed her eyes calmly. She didnt smile and just let him feel her honesty. But the words of his did hurt her too in a way. In a way of knowing that she just has been used by someone she cared off. She took a deep breath.
"Yes my teddy. I did realize that. And i myself dont find this topic so comfortable. But shit went down and i honestly would want you to just life with it. If we wanna stick together. Its necessary for us both to clear this out. I know." She sighed and the opened her eyes. Looking forward. She lifted herself up and got the metal box of her hugo time. Getting back in the close position beside boris. She opened it and gazed alittle before breaking the silence in real and heart. "I thank ivan to have brought me on a better path and always belive and stand to me. From all cars on this rig. He stayed the most persitent in my life. There was no time of staying away. And for that i appreciate him highly. Even now that i hurt him. He doesnt stop time with me. And is all honest to me. Cars smt think he is the worst when indeed as you say, in reality victor is. You know boris. When i talk, i wont lie to you my love. And i can assure you, i dont love him anymore. I can say that he may still be attractive looking but that attraction is handleable with you. Its like you once told me boris. All i need is him to finally get to see what he did. And that will be solved by miles luckily. Back then though. Eventhough we had disruption times. Were he was pissed of at me or i at him. We still always somehow met back into eachothers tires. But there were no feels. Not of his side. Just of me." She took a photo out of the portrait she drew of him as king before the big day.* "he still has that hangin in his office..." she then put the crown out. And grumbled "and this basically was a false promise. I was never gonna be his queen. It was just a bait to keep me as toy." janice put out song lyrics of a song -you are the Victorious- " and that was the song that actually brought us together in the first place. On this... intime basis. A-and yes. He did please me. I admit that he was a blast in it. Just sometimes a bit weird and gross. But he knew what he was doing in everything. I dont even know if i wanna see that song anymore though. These memorys hurt and i never was able to get rid of them... b-but i think i finally can." Janice silently took pictures out. That were privately just for vic actually "he has those. I wont get them back prolly. There also are pics of...(eachother) ahh you dont need to know, i think its just good if my copys atleast get burned. One day he surely throws his away..." There was the hugo emblem seeable inside. The stickers. And also the victor letters for the rear and a 3.0 for rank.* "even my rank was a lie. Just to make me shut up. And stay secret about his plans. I want you to know boris. I finished with that past finally. And i thought about this. Iam serious with burning them and maybe. That is what we both need after this awful shock... i hope boris. That this answers your questiom on a more satisfying basis and maybe calms your heart. Iam finished with this and i mean this for real... and i wanna thank you for this too very much. You have saved my heart." Janice held his tire and sofftly pressed herself against him she smiled finally but she trembled as the memory had hurt her, even if tears of love showed the good side of it.

Max rolled his eyes when Conelian started to talk out the details again. He was about to give a good try to shut him up but wasn't enough pissed off to be able to do this. He rather wanted to solve it through a good way. When Max heard a random he didn't determine who it was, but he also not really wanted to know. Conelinans move was pretty brave. He on purpose violated personal space but Max didn't move away and looked at the Hugo chilled but disturbed a bit. He saw that Conelian finished and lastly said " We never were friends or even partners. So ill advice you, better don't talk to me like that anymore. It just won't end good for you" What a freak Max thought. It already promised to Max that it'll take a time and he has to be patient till some Hugos will start to respect him.
He watched how Conelian narrowed his eyes and turned himself leaving with his entourage finally. Max sighed and muttered " No problem" to the Hugo who are nearby Max. He turned back to the table and gtabed his already cold meal. It wasn't so nice anymore and he lost appetite just drinking cup of tea.
Next time better search up place around high ranked.
Max left the canteen and pondered if the big meeting actually will be gathered today again. For that he had to find Alex to ask. Or Ivan. It was way easier to find Ivan though because he stood out all the time with his height. He searched up around and found him on the main level leaving the building luckily just alone. He didn't really feel like he wanted talk to him after what happened between him and Alex, but at the same time nothing bad was to ask. He approached Ivan and drove beside him for awhile talking all serious " Morning. Have you seen Alex maybe? I wanna know if there a meeting today with the boss. Surely you'd know it."
-------
Vlad thanked Tolga for the care and food he shared with him. He ate it and talked to Tolga
" Don't worry much about me Tolga. I'm totally ok. And I can work, almost with a full performance. I think petrov already going to be busy enough.. Hmm, let me see what went on in the last night" He opened it again and saw that he got a message from Violeta the jaguar. He read it - I understand you. You are right, this is often not about the place where you born. It is about the cars around you who make you feel good as if you are on your place . Even if you are kilometers away. Good night Vladislav. If you will be interested we can talk more.-
Vlad sighed and and smirked, weirdly he had mixed feels rn. It just looked surreal to him. He saw Tolgas interest and told him about VIoleta, the car he chatted with mainly. He even showed him a photo of her and Tolga smirked looking at his boss a bit perplex. He then saw Vlads profile picture and couldn't hold chuckle about it. He actually drove away after that letting to have Vlad some space and secrets. Vlad blushes a little looking at his drunk photo. " I don't even know how she talks to me because I look way too.. funny.. Oh Boris why I just listened you?" He chuckled and rolled his eyes." Fun is fun but likely not more than that I believe it Tolga. It's not for me, you know the rules here. Would be quite hard to manage live on the both sides here and there.. I can't even afford such luxury to be honest. No.." He waved with his wheel over laptop as if it won't work out And sighed. " Tolga however, you know it's a secret.. I hope not many members spotted me tipsy yesterday. "
-------
" He is your father. It's not matter what other says about him, they can't see him same as you do. It also goes the same for me Janice. Even if Vlad dissapointed and hurt I see what and why you are act this way. I fight for it to be the true for me. Everyone get their own true if you understand but it's not what I wanna do be focused on today. I'm happy you have someone who could support you and give you a faith. Hope he will inspire you for the better doings making him proud of you. You deserve cars to respect you in the end and deserve a proud smile of your father. Boris watched carefully how Janice left the bed and brought a box. He raised an eyelid wondering what is she doing to show him. He reached the glasses with his tire and put them on. He saw a paint of Victor and frowned. It was so unexpected to see that. He gazed over it and had to admit Janice had some talent. But this thought came even later when he saw a crown as well. His eyes widened and he stayed silent now thinking why Janice so craved to be his queen. He took the list with the song and read couple sintences putting it away and looking at Janice in perplex. But it all was nothing yet compare to the private pictures of Janice. He gazed at it and blushed looking away, of course he liked it but the thought that it was made for someone else made him look away. Till Janice put the items aside in a box. He looked in her eyes eventually and took a deep breath. " Janice. It's ironically could make me question even more than what I wanted to know. You dedicated me in your really close past with Victor. I did not know that you loved him that much. It is still doesn't look like a normal love to me. More like you worshipped him for the empty promises. Sadly it's the way you gain the experience. You should have feel more than just lust, it's also what I mean when I asked if he pleased you. I didn't mean in the bed but more like overall meaning. The feels, care, words from the heart. But by your answer i see it just didnt exist. I hope you are feel like your heart is safe now. You did save mine as well." He sighed and let himself smirk a bit seeing her smile " Lets get rig of your past Janice. The feels won't exist without care and love. You know it's all is a false. Just like this crown.. Let yourself be surrounded by the ones who care about you truly and you will be happy." He closed his eyes and gave Janice a smooch. " I know your love was blind but don't tell me you really wanted to rule the rig though with Victor. You are too harsh in my eyes for that and too young in your roof. Here I'm being all honest at least.. Imagine you would give orders to Ivan." He smirked and saw it way too unrealistic and so naive of Janice that back then she believe Vics promises who just used her naivety for his benefit.

The hugos continued eating and watched how max left actually. It was true. Some cases will need time to learn respect to him. But others in that canteen got a good impression of max already. Which prolly is important rn.
--->
In serious gaze ivan glanced slightly downwards at mac before he looked forward again. He found that pretty brave of max to actually approach him... doesnt mean that he sees it any positive though. He didnt forget the meeting and what max did in the past afterall. But he knew his duties as high ranked and so he didnt refuse to answer obviously
"Morning aswell. I See you decided to attend work today. Very well. I have met alex already, supporting the nightshifts actually. But considering the current situation, it has come to my attention that victor does wanna talk to me very soon today. Meanin, i dont know myself yet. The first one to know would be victor overall if a meeting comes. But by the tension and rumors. I would quite easily guess that yes, there be an meeting today. Watching other members does its deed. But maybe you know a bit more about whats going on hm?"
He kept on driving and members actually stopped by from time to time. Giving ivan papers or asking for advice and boss related things. It didnt interrupt too much though. Some actually held the paper in a way that both ivan and max could see it...
--------
Tolga smirked sympathic and gave vlad an understanding nod. At this point he hoped his boss indeed saw it as a funny game. It would be way easier for him. But tolga did found it extremely surprising with what kind of car, vlad actually was writing. Tolga couldnt believe it to be real for a second. But coincidence approves the exceptions. He looked through a few member requests in his tire as he answered. "Luckily boss. There has not been many. Only those mostly which were tipsy themselfs in the bar. So you didnt really gave too much oddity off with that. Iam sure the members wouldnt mind anyway though that you have a bit more fun. Just really let this stay as a game. I mean, you impressed me in that combination that you could write with such a car but i know too that it just isnt possible for us. And to be honest, you have to keep your identity more safe than this kind of live would be able to provide you with. Too risky. It is how it is. But like we both know, once we reached the lemon rights and understanding, then our time will come." Tolga smirked hopeful for vlad and put the papers on vlads table. "Ok i think that be it for the morning. But pls remember that petrov surely wouldnt mind helping you once in a while. You know that. But now, tell me if you actually need something for the morning. Maybe with that i atleast can serve you." As tolga said this. A bing of an message was heard... one that got send to every boss. vlad opened it and read through it. Miles call out for the meeting was there... in the morning. But what was odd... is that he stated the break of the new rule. And "another topic" which he didnt event point out more. Vlad raised his eyelids. That definitly meant that more was going on, on the rig.
---------
Janice sighed and listened to boris. Her smile shortly went alittle neutral by boris's words and she remembered the only moments were vic actually did please her normally. The dates. He was so gentle and caring at those times and didnt even went intime with her. No it was just sweet times. But she knew it was then that he put the even harder false promises into her mind. So sadly these all must have been just a mere rue too. Janice looked down and sighed giving that smile back again. There was of course more stuff in that box but it didnt had as much meaning. Janice put her journal in there too and closed the box. Rubbing her side alittle at him
"Ivan does inspire me. And i hope it will keep on like that. And that this decision wont just keep your and my hearts even better but also that ivan does finally receive feels of proudness towards me. It is time to finally take this step. And... and maybe.... vlad never truly forgave my hugo past... bc mentally he maybe unconciously noticed that i didnt finish with that past. Who knows. But iam glad i-i finally actually have this strength. "She smiled and whiped her eye. She hugged boris alittle and enjoyed the tenderness of him with love "maybe i really did just worship him. It would make sense why fear suddenly turned to "love" but i-i just wanna make a tick finally to that past. It is damn time... you know... now that you say it. I wish i would have known this back then already. It would have saved me... at the same time. Would i have listened back then that me leading with victor over the rig is a false promise? I think not. Eventhough i cant imagem to give orders to ivan. To vlad even! I cant. It was totally naive by me to believe it though... but iam glad it actually did not come true... imagen... me and vic actually would have won? Who would i be today? How would we life? I kinda dont even wanna imagen teddy." Janice sighed and smiled "heh. Back then i prolly would even have been hurt at your words and yell at you for that. But not now. I know it actually is the truth. And i know, leading is smth i never wanted. Vic made me believe that i want it... ok. Boris my love... i think it is time" janice smiles and lifted up. It was exhausting for her mentally and she took the metal box."let us go outside for that" she took some liquid with her from the storage so it burns better and once outside. She poured it over the stuff. Boris and janice just stood there for a second and she lighted a match. She looked at the things hesitanlty at first and took a deep breath. She felt boris holding her tire and she finally threw the match into the box, which immediatly began burning hardly. Janice watched the fire motioneless at first but suddenly she smiled and tightly went into a hug with boris. Which felt like an eternally feel of warmth. While the fire burned beside them in the silence of this burn of past.

Max kept following Ivan and watched how busy Ivan was, he just wondered if he got more work than Alex right now, or did they just had different duties. He shook his hood and looked thoughtfully "Hmm.. No. I don't really know the plans for today at all. I just guess the meeting should be gathered. Cuz..." He pondered shortly and took a pause deciding not to tell Ivan alright away just in case, he also looked pretty busy " You'll see actually, don't wanna waste your time. Thanks." He braked and let Ivan continue his way. It really meant he shall search for Alex then or if no he could go to the boss. He thought that maybe if Alex helped night shifters he could be in his room. He had big luck though that he found him there. Alex just sipped some just made dark coffee and looked like he didn't really sleep either. He looked at Max and tried to see already what he could read, and it was a good surprise Max looked calm enough and not with red eyes instead. " Morning, come i just need to finish my coffee and then boss wanted to see me for the details, i just got a message that there a meeting with Miles again. Weirdly he pointed out the unknown reason but also brake of the new rule. Hey, i hope it was not you?" He smirked lightly actually kidding "Ok. i won't interrupt ya anymore tell me how was it?" He looked with attention at Max and Max weirdly smirked making Alex even more wondering.
" Well listen up, i got the files and read through it. I'm going to surprise you with something now.. Mistake did not lie, she maybe didn't know the truth i'm not sure about it. Tany is alive and she, she came back home probably safe and sound. Another thing, that Vlad loved her. That Ukrainian thinks that only he allowed knowing about Tany, as if. But wait yet, it's not all. Another surprise. The meeting today, yes i got caught. I don't know what woke him up, he just showed outta his room so suddenly, i had no time. Miles and Victor knows already, again a surprise, Vic reacted really neutral on that." He looked at Alex's widened eyes now and smirked "Yeah. Good morning"
------
Vlad took the papers in his tires that Tolga gave him looking on it shortly with a sigh and making them all straight hitting a stack of papers on the desk he just opened his mouth to answer as the message was received. He read it and looked slightly annoyed. He already could see how the meeting will go likely similar to how it was yesterday "I see Miles calls out for the meeting already, i have some time to focus on paperwork before we will go. Great, another waste of time again with the Hugos. They seemingly can afford way too much free time don't you think?" He now smirked on that and sorted papers. "1000 papers... Why do i even have time to talk about females or with. Fine Tolga, if Petrov can help me you can warn him that after the meeting i will be waiting here for him. Finish that quicker will save up some time to write a report to miles about the finances. I asked him for some support last night. All i can request from you is probably to be ready for the meeting and check on the workers as usual. You know what to do." Vlad actually wanted to ask about Janice's state for work but let Tolga manage it himself.
------
Boris listened to how Janice said that she never wanted to lead but she would do it just because Vic would make her want it. He wondered how Janice could have a hard temper but at the same time could be so flexible for someone she worships? Would it mean she wanted to become to someone like Victor in the old times? He didn't believe Victor loved her, he just acted. But why would he do this and promise to her so much, was it all to be able to keep her just as the sex toy or there was another motive. He will probably never know it. "Let's get rid of your past then, Janice, i hope you learned that tenderness and care are much more evidence of love than the most ardent passion. This is what was important to him and i see he still wants to own you. Never let your old mistakes happen again. I'm sure you are in a good way right now."
Outside he patted Janice when she leaned on him and looked down. He didn't know that Janice would be so hurt doing it. He didn't know a lot about her past and could only hope for the best. Boris thought a lot and didn't talk as he did usual, it was noticeable but it couldn't go another way. He needed some days to proceed it before he can talk lightly to Janice again. Right now he just was afraid to make her feel worse and the thoughts he had he didn't want to say aloud. In the silence and with the own thoughts they watched how it burned fast till the fire started to burn out. Slowly Boris approached it and the wind blew off ashes, he wasn't sure if it was enough to satisfy his heart. It was a big step but didn't give him relief as good as he hoped it would. He sighed as felt Janice beside him, they only exchanged gazed which reflected their thoughts for a second.

Ivan actually instantly was curious innerly what that prolly was gonna be. But he knew he will figure it as soon as their paths cross again on the meeting. So he didnt stop max unnecessarily longer. He didnt want to anyway. And he continued his path, actually going to his boss already but with a bigger aftertaste then ever actually.
Alex actually couldnt believe that wholw story at first. Everything, janice, tany alive, vlad in love and victor being kind. All of it had smth unbelieveable to it and alex kept that look for a second at max's fast outburst of happening. He began to grin and hit him. "Bro, are you compeltly sure that you didnt just had a fever dream. I mean, i heard much on this rig but this is akittle harsh, dont you think? But its you, and there i wouldnt think that you lie to me. Seriously this is amazing news in a way. Let that trunkov have his lost love, i mean, didnt he hunt tany down at first? Whatever. Shes gone and as boss he should better not get distracted by smth so unreachable for him. I hope he is aware of that." Alex rolled his eyes but grinned widely. Schadenfreude clearly showing again. "Oh first things first actually. Its good that victor actually stood on your side?! But how? I mean he actually was highly against this. It seems to me almost as if tries to take this as oppertunity? I know our boss in the end. But when we do get a meeting max, i want you to raise your hood. Dont take the scolding of miles, its almost for sure that victor wont just take it and actually wants to fight against it. But since its about you, your words will have a high factor here. I back you up bro. Call yourself lucky that i kinda know much about this situation and can hit with arguments too. Do you think you are ready for it?" Alex grinned evilly and in pure satisfaction. He talked motivating, trying to bring his student in more of a drive to make him better prepared in stance for this. He drove shortly in a circle around max "but whatever they say. You, me and seemingly boss too, know exactly that its your own right and vlad only provoked you with not trusting you on smth so simple." Alex actually calmed now and smirked normally again bit he knew these infos about vladimir a delicate and he will definitly keep these in mind. At the moment. Alex sighed and smiled way kinder and gave his bro a pat. "Iam so glad actually that it worked out for you though. And iam sure tany would have liked to see you fight for it. Now its the last step and you are fine out with that. But smth still seems to bother you about it somehow. Right?
--------
Tolga smiled and gave vlad a nod "see, i knew you will take that oppertunity. Its better for you boss, thank you for this. I will get to work then too. Iam glad miles actually offered to help. Reminds me, that we can fix the broken part of the roof then finally with proper material and not stole ones. It will work out fine vladimir. Dont shadder your mind over thid and too much work all the time. If the womans make you feel satisfied, use the free time anyway. Dont be so stern vladimir. Just know that you shouldnt take those to heart so fast. Iam sure you will have some seconds for an answer to them. Dont let that work drown you to a burnout again... ok" tolga nods alittle worried but smiled. Vlad actually responded the smile lightly "dont worry. I just think that these seconds can be used wiser. But i keep it in my mind. Thank you tolga. Now go, i see you later then. Thank you once more, you just proof me why exactly you became my right hand." Tolga gave a kind chuckle and finally left.
---------
Janice didnt stop watching the fire soon. She saw how the pictures died down. Her coat, her crown got ashy and so much more. Of course she was sure and indeed seriously wanted to finish with that past. But at the same time its sad in a way how this past has never been as positive as she back then may has believed. She would have wished for things to totally go different but she hoped that this will finally be the step for her life to lighten up. She did notice that boris struggles with smth in a way and she looked at him. Just smth made her consider that he wasnt satisfied... she couldnt know of course but the mere thought made her look not too happy either. She decided to smile lightly anyway though. For her, boris opinion mattered so much. But it was the step she had to take... and even if it was not easy, she actually genuinly was proud of herself and she wasnt gonna let that feel get ruined. Its what she needs to bettee herself. She held both boris front tires to smile more tender at him. "Thank you boris. My teddy. For actually being at my side and helping me through this. It was hard for me but i feel too to be on the right way and i never would have thought to be able to do such a critical step. I couldnt thank you more for your support, iam proud of myself rn. Genuinly. But i see in your eyes; my love, that smth may still sits on your heart. I hope i can let that pass too soon. Take your time, it probably was exhausting for you too. But if theres smth you want, dont hesitate to talk to me... ok? Whats fact, is that i truly learned again what true love actually is, and i will hold tightly onto that with my heart. The past will be past now and i wont let myself repeat mistakes of a janice that iam not. Its time for the change my love" Janice held him close still as she breathed deeply in. She talked silemtly and caring. But she was all serious with her gaze and hopeful. She wanted these bad times to finally be over and her eyes talked storys. Of a girl all confident and full of love. She remained in the moment and slowly approached to kiss boris thankfully and loving.

Max looked kinda in perplex . Even if Alex tried to make him feel confident about it he still wasn't sure if he himself can give a good enough arguments except that the feels drove him to break the law. " Bro, thank you. I don't know what I would do here without you, I will try to stand for my opinion even if you will be able to bring arguments better than I can. I don't know. Victor surprised me in a good way last night. He just looked pissed of at Vlad and after him telling him how he saw me Vic just said with cold face ' so what ?'." Max showed Victor expression and chuckled " Man. Vlads face was unforgettable at that moment. Seriously why the fuck he thinks I can't know this. I'm not someone and don't I deserve? She is my girlfriend in the end. Was." He looked suddenly quieter now and nodded " Yeah. It is bother me. Exactly that Alex. I mean, isn't now it does not make sense any more ? She is alive and it's good but... What now ? I will never see her again ? Or even if I will, how I will hide it from Victor. What she will think of me? You can't know as well I know. Just something tells me that, this is nearly over." He looked down and sighed. He didn't expect sweet lie from Alex.
-------
Boris eyes didn't always look straight at Janice. It was not much, but visible to her that he still was much hurt inside. He sighed and kissed Janice then, her words still ran across his mind. He wanted to believe Janice was all sincere with him, he loved her, but these days just affected him that he wasn't fully sure if it was indeed a new era for her. As they finished kiss Janice looked in his eyes again and raised her eyelid questionably when he looked away again shortly and his eyes glitered. He tried to convey only positive feels on himself, but it was a struggle " That's ok. Don't thank me. All it can only be credited to you for real. I think it is too early yet to say that you realised what is the true love, only time will show it." He clenched his eyes for a while and smirked just for her " Eh. Don't listen me. I'm happy you are staying strong after what happened, unlike me. You know I only wish the best for you, and I decided. That if you want to stay here. I, I can probably find work. This is won't be easy but as long as you are by my side, it will be okay. I don't wanna leave you alone at least not until I will make sure you are stand strong on your wheels." He sighed and looked neutral at Janice but with a slim smile while Janice stayed silent for a moment. Boris pointed on a pile of ashes and some burnt stuff like her crown and the box. " Ehem.. Honey, shouldn't we clean it ?"

Alex eyelids gave quite the bothered concentrated look releasing him in a sigh. He gave his bro a good minute to take this in before he actually answers with a smile
"Hey. You atleast got these infos. Thats a good first step and you can rest atleast with the thought that she didnt died. And i think thats alot already. But regarding this. I dont even have to lie to you here like mistake would... except that one time. However, dont you see? Our boss totally was on your side when its smth against vladimir. And if it bothers him, there maybe a slim chance that he allows you to see her. Then you dont even need to hide that. Just go along and make a good impression on victor. Then he even can be the bestest boss you will ever have. Seen by today already." Alex chuckled lightly "seriously, i didnt saw it coming that he protects you so coldly. But its worth it that you got the infos. Now dont break your purple roof over this. Love is weird and we all know that. Pull yourself together and we eventually gonna figure this. If boss does not allow you that, we canarrange it differently. Just tell me if you think that it be good for HER to see you again. No offense, you obbiously got the right to know about her state and even explain yourself to her and give a proper goodbye if nothing turns as you believe. But you gotta remember that she turned her back to the life here... iam just being realistic bro. Before it would make you fall." Harsh care what alex shows here. But he thinks that max really should think about this too. Alex drank up his coffee and stretched shortly. His phone rang and he went to pick it up. "Yes. Oh good morning boss. I actually was about to come to you... ahh ok, well let us talk other topics out after the meeting then. But who will give out the mission slips and inform. Ahh ok, you temporarily let kyle and robert do that. Oh well sounds legitimate. Good we will see you." Alex hung up and gazed to max with a smirk "plan change. We will go straight to the meeting. Ivan will take vic and miles is pushing in time."
-------
Janice couldnt describe how her heart ached from seeing her love so down from this. She was right before insulting her own karma for this again to affect him too but she let that be. She just wanted to show care and love rn. But she must admit innerly... boris words did really hit her. It only made her doubt everything more again but she took a deep breath and smiled. She tried not to listen to it... it would only set her back again in the end... right? No she will keep up the strength she has rn. She knows boris needs it too eventhough he doubts in the moment seemingly. Slowly driving to the ashy box, she picks it up. "Yes teddy, we should. But in a proper way..." she slowly drove to the edge of the rig. Having boris following her. She threw it into the ocean then. Gazing how the black ashes spread in the wind... she silently answers but not sad "Boris. Teddy. Its ok. I can imagen that you have doubts still but thats ok. I admit it hurts me alittle but it does not matter, you are right. Time will show us but i know for myself that iam aware what true love is. And i will proof it over time just as you said. So dont take your words back my love. Its just that its rather about me to PROOF it. But dont you say that you aint staying strong. Look at you! You still are here, in the moment with me... and... and even gave me the sweetest gift i could imagen. I truly thank you for it" janice smiled warmly on this as she was so touched. She hoped to make his time of staying the best it can be but at the same time, she can imagen that this wasnt easy for him to decide at all... as she gazed slowly at him, smilingnand kind eyes, she didnt mind anymore that he had enough at the moment. She was sad of course about that but she let him rest for now. Almost like a calling, suddenly they both received a tap at their rears. "Hmhm. Seems like you two had a really important thing to do. May i ask what that would be" janice giggled but whiped a tear away from herself "o-oh miles. Yeah... regarding the victor thing. I burned stuff relating to my past there. Uhm may i ask why you came here so suddenly" janice struggled choosing the right tone between this sentimental moment with boris and suddenly seeing the big boss... but he only nods and smiles "ahh i kinda had a feeling that it was relating to that. Hello boris. Iam miles axlerod. Owner and topleader off everything here. Iam aware that you are vladimirs close friend. And your efforts to take care of this member here seem to show good effects. Appreciation for that shall be set. Thank you for that. If you dont mind though, i need to lend her for a while. Bc janice, you gotta be there at the meeting. But pls only join in once i get you into the room. You will wait behind the back door. Or else suspicioun will be caused."

Max stayed quiet when Alex talked on the phone and for a moment he even didn't hear what Alex was talking about. He was a bit sceptical about certain Alex's words, mostly that he kinda promised Vlad not to tell anyone about Tany, and only Alex would be an exception for him. But he left him a slim hope to be able to see Tany again, it just meant it still was possible in any case whatever knows it vic or he doesn't. It would be definitely nervous though for Max and he wouldn't know what to say or how to act, how he even would explain himself? His thoughts were interrupted when Alex hanged up and told the new plans. Max raised himself and came back to the reality out of his mind "Oh wow, it was quick. Umm okay bro, i'm ready."
They left the room soon and while driving to the office Max brought up this topic about Victor, he lowered himself closer to Alex and spoke quieter " By the way, i forgot to tell you something. Victor said to us to not touch Janice, i don't get why but i didn't question it. They probably have their own business. But, he wants me and you to be able to collect info sometimes from the other members. Just like that. I didn't really understand what he means but he said since we can deal so good with Janice we are likely to be successful in it. It was the only one thing he asked me to pay him back in return since he covered me after my deed" Max knew Alex likely would know more about it even without the explanation from the boss, but he still didn't know how Alex would react on that request.
------
"I'm sorry if i maybe made you feel worse, it's not what i wanted. I should have some time with myself. Because i know we both suffered. I know you can prove yourself even more. And to prove you don't have to do anything great at all, just stay loyal to ones who care about you. That's all about it. Not sound like a big deal. And i want you to remember you are never alone here, if something bad happens it's better to stay close to your family for support and help, it's why you have it. Don't try to fight alone if you feel that you can't handle it. And nothing is to be ashamed of here. Everyone needs a friend and support time to time, even such strong cars as your father. So it's why it is important to see problems of the ones who is dear to you as well and feel it." He looked down on the ocean and felt a tapping behind. He saw a big car behind them and narrowed his eyes with distrust at first but then as Janice smiled he figured it was the boss of the oil rig. He definitely heard about him but still never saw him in real life. He smiled shyly and shook his hood "Hello Miles, i'm glad to be able to see you personally finally. Janice definitely going to the right direction and i'm happy that you can help her. If you don't mind i wanted to have time to talk to you privately later. Take your time, Janice i wish you good luck and stay strong" He smiled and almost added for 'for me' in the end but stopped in a moment letting them both go.
As they left he sighed and his smiled faded slowly. He returned to the side of the rig and watched the ocean, it was almost calm today and he lited a cigarette almost automatically doing it. He smoked and closed his eyes listening noise of the water and a fresh light wind blew on him. He tried to get rid of the negative thoughts at this moment regarding last night, right now he focused on the thoughts about his work here. He knew it likely wouldn't be hard for Vlad to charge him something, in the end, Boris felt like he could pick up almost any work inside the rig.

Alex shortly stopped before continuing his way. Seemingly that kinda shocked him either but he talked normally with his bro. "Ok that with janice already is really strange. But you might be right. Yet that with the information seeking... is boss really sure about this? I mean i dont doubt his decisions but its an really riskfull act. Maybe we impressed him alittle too much secretly hehe... but yeah, i guess we gotta prepare for this. But i think i will talk with boss privately about this ones the situation will be given. Its just a big thing and not as easy as it may sound. Seen by use two, we almost made everything fall. And now a meeting is coming in bc of that" alex sighed and as they neared the neutral territory. He looked alot more serious, not looking in the eyes of any other lemon. Since they obviously know that its about an incident with the hugos and trunkovs. He opened the door strongly and directed to the seat of them, both max and alex right away drove to it. Zundapp and miles werent there rn but alex still kept on whispering with max as long as no trunkov is there too who could hear. "I think you worry about this either, biut leave that off to me. As i said, i will talk to boss. And ebentually we will come to a compromise. Now. Take this meeting as an oppertunity to fight for your rights and most importantly for your love. That will strengthen you."
--------
Miles nodded to boris and gave him a moderate and formal tireshake "i will meet you before vladimirs office after the meeting then. This should be easily findable for you. I bring you to my office then. I would be quite pleased even to hear some words of yours. Well then boris. Till the later times. I hope you know your oppertunities of what to do while we are on the meeting." Miles smiled and left with janice. He actually didnt expect to talk with boris but it was really fine for miles. He actually was interested. He looked down to janice who just looked forward. Almost a bit tense. Was it bc of himself? Or was it that she was nervous of the meeting. Miles was about to ask and janice sighed not even letting him start "i-i know. I seem nervous. Its just a bit unexpected... so yeah its both. The meeting and you. But i actually thank i believe, i mean. Things get moving... and te- boris has noticed that too even... i hope ivan will top" miles smirked and gave the corvette a pat "he surely will from what i know. Stay calm. This is not about testing you." Janice sighed and smiled weakly. But she soom got a bit stern and serious as she concentrated. But innerly it was, that boris's words didnt leave her mind. She thought about what he said and how he felt and it really warmed her heart. She knows that he wants the best for her. But she doesnt blame him actually though if he carries worries inside himself too. She would try destroying those with results. Hopefully the meetin now will do good. Boris made it sound not so difficult anymore for her to do this properly and the mention of her father made her more strng for those two cars. Slowly they entered the building and janice stayed behind miles personal door. It lightly was open and janice could hear the voices inside. She lowered and took a deep breath. As she heard alex and max greeting victor, she grit her teeth serious. But then she heard ivan greeting miles and she widened her eyes... some time passed and suddenly. She heard vladimir and she covered her mouth. This was really nerv wrecking. B-but no, she knew. SHE CAN DO THIS! ONCE AND FOR ALL.
----》》》
Alex and max finally saw miles arrive. Both greeted him but not extremely nicely. More in an neutral way. Miles shrugged that off thoigh and greeted them personally. That was a first minute step and miles went to talk to zundapp for long and gave his professor some papers and they discussed some experiements from this week which they actually wanted to talk about later. Victor came in with ivan and ivan had a real serious gaze. He didnt seem too pleased??? But it was just normal bc he carried victor rn. It was for respect causing and intimidating reasons. But he gazed at max and alex shortly. Victor greeted them "well. Iam glad you two are here on time. Perfect attendance today it seems. Let us shine with that." Ivan nods as alex did too. It was one serious nod but ivan then leaned towards them. "I heard that this meeting is about you max? Thats what you meant. I got more details from victor. You better think of good excuses fast. I tell you. But was it really that necessary to break into vlads office." Victor heard this and grunted with a hiss "ivan! Stop putting influence on him. This here will be important to get us out of this atleast alittle. So dont make him unsure or smth. It seemingly was necessary. So whatever. Let us look for whats going on NOW and HERE. And also. This will maybe teach the trunkovs a good lesson. Who knows. Now. Silence" vladimir came in and slowly gazed upon the hugos. He didnt smiled and rather gave an annoyed gazed. They didnt gave him smth nice back. Actually, while ivan looked normal. And max and alex serious, victor actually smiled provokingly. Behind vlad, tubbs and curbys group were right after. And modtly tubbs seemed really fed up with this. He just looked at those two arguing groups and rolled his eyes.
Soon as everyone took their place and short times for talking out was there, miles gave the tone for the begin. Was necessary today bc it didnt really become quiter. All attention was set forward now.
"As we all have noticed, there was an occurence of the last night in which one of the hugos, victors new advisor even, broke a new rule. New set on the very before day and has entered the trunkov territory to gain information of a passed away member. Tany trunkov. Connection has been there as those two cars were belonging to eachother by their arrival here. But it was know aswell by vladimir, that tany got mistreaten max himself and eventually it ended in an accident. For that my very sorrys at first vladimir. Iam aware that the passing of every member has importance to you so my respects are spoken for this member of yours. However, by suggestion and set of law, i will ask for the setting of a proper punishment."
Curby looked shortly at victor before raising his tire
"So, seemingly we know now though that the hugos are seemingly the provoking part and not the trunkovs. Couldnt it be that the trunkovs just defend back. But i get though that this could have been obviously an exception. As you said, tany and max belonged to eachother once in the end."
Vladimir shook his hood and talked out.
"I wont deny that they maybe did. But these infos are in private ownership. And max could have easily asked me if he cared so much suddenly, instead of stealing information." Victor hissed and answers quite directly
"The question is, if you would have listened to my member and not right away send him back. You are very closed up about tany and it almost seems weird at this point to me. Get your words together trunkov. My member was forced in a deeper level to do this. And i agree that back then he actually wasnt able to treat her well. He was braineashed but both him and me came to good compromises. Making this not to a huge mistake if you atleast would help him regain infos. Believe me when i say, if tany would have stolen infos from me, you suddenly wouldnt see it as a big deal either and this hypocrisis is not worth the argue." Vladimir narrowed his eyes and talked more sharply. Miles actually widemed his eyes as this got more heated. Tolga looked worried at vladimir wo talked "we didnt talk about a switch of role here. And it already is awful that he works for you after all that happened. But no, i would have givem tany a suitable punishment. Iam well able to punish my members too. Eventhough i care about them if its this, that you try to hint here. Now stop finally ignoring your mistake and take it, with respect." Vladimir hit his tire on the table as he got abit louder and both victor and vlad glared sharply at eacjother. Tolga carefully got vlad down. "Boss calm down. A calm mind will rather bring us to results" victor chuckled as tolga tried to calm vlad and alex smirked "man, you are indeed really sensible when its about that girl. Oh well. May you share with us why that is vladimir trunkov~ however, fact is. He was driven by love and is still a young member of ours. He has shown great success but as we said last meeting already, he cant be that fast. Now that his mind is calmed, he already gave a promise to have learned from this. In all sinceress. And wouldnt it make more sense if victor punishes max himself. Instead of us all." Alex said that knowing that vic prolly wont punish max hard. And then max would go out succesfull here aswell as the hugos. But even if victor was angry at vlad and miles and you didnt see it, but innerly he was angry aswell that his group has to be in such a bad light right now. His very dark gaze showed this probably the most. But he hoped alex's arguments and mostly max's will cause more brighter light for the hugos. He saw how curby and tubbs looked in disbeliev but victor was sure to fix hia group back to perfection. It was the only way to him.

Max agreed with Alex on that and he knew he would find a compromise with Victor and come to a good solution. Eventually, if it would be so much risky he wouldn't put Alex in all this mess.
As it all was about to start Max studied looks of the other members. He sighed but raised his hood knowing he shouldn't look weak or look like a guilty one. He was not. This opinion was settled not just for him but also to not let the group down, or sunk into accusations.
His mood wasn't affected by Ivan though because he knew he will have to say his word already. Max looked back at him calmly and then watched how Victor harshly reined Ivan which again was not expected and Max almost smirked on that. It was looking promising already and Max knew, as long as Victor sees it okay he is totally safe.
When Miles talked out the reason Max had to narrow his eyes when he said Tany Trunkov. He couldn't accept that she was a part of the group and that she would have a surname of Vladimir. He clenched his teeth and knew now he will have to play all this lie no one knew. Pretend that Tany indeed is gone.
As Curby raised his tire and started to say his opinion it at first was sound like he was against of it but in the end, it was a good surprise for Max that he saw it as an exception. The situation heated up after that really quick and he kept his gaze at Victor and at Vlad when one of them talked. The moment of Vlad being pissed off was probably the most unexpected but also that his bro put a word in it mentioning something that Max told him. Alex looked pretty confident while Vladimir gazed at Max with a fierce before answering to Alex " This claim of you sound as minimum unpolite, Alex. You should have a good reason to state such serious things and make me look like i only care because i loved her. Tany was indeed important for me but she was part of my family and i will care about it even after her death. I just don't understand why would you protect someone who is trespassing and thinks he can just read out everything in my office while i'm sleeping. This is unacceptable whatever the reason was behind it, he got his way by breaking the rules and he must be punished." Vlad stated it and saw it enough for a wealthy argument. He already felt fed up as well and was outraged by hos Hugos acted again. Victor scoffed on this making a casual 'whatever' look and Max still felt the gaze of Vlad on himself. He obviously figured that Max spilt to Alex the fact he truly loved Tany. For this, he despised Max even more now. Tolga sighed deeply and looked at Miles for a moment, he nodded politely
" Let me say how i see it. I'll bring smth up for example. We remember how Janice violated Victor's office and what it caused. Victor, We could scream back then that she had own reason or that she was driven by the feels but instead of this we accepted it was a big mistake whatever the reason behind it was. You even demanded to take care of that yourself personally and you went too far this day treating our member totally unceremonious and cruel. Now you are accusing Vlad saying he is a hypocrite. No, he is not, and i know he would indeed punish Tany if such would happen, though it would never happen. Not need to use non-existent arguments here and let's talk out the existing facts that are right before our eyes. Max is guilty. As a member of another group, we have a fact he secretly searched for the information in Vladimir's office in the night time. We never can know what he got in his tires, maybe the information about Tany was not the only thing he searched for, we can't really know what was in his mind this night. We are all secured with the laws, this is necessary and appropriate to follow them because as we know punishment exists not only to correct the perpetrator but also it prevents of new transgression not just for the guilty one but also for others. i will be grateful if we would indeed follow it instead of listening to the excuses, Max even didn't say anything to protect himself".
He exchanged gazed with Max and Max narrowed his eyes "So are you finished finally?" Max gave a short pause and Tolga coldly said 'yes'. Max worried a little since Tolga brought up a good argument in his eyes like a damn attorney.
"Tany, she was my girlfriend. I was not able to treat her as good as before, i admit i feel bad for it, but you know my memory was damaged. Once i regained it i wanted to know what happened to her and your side refused to give me any information regarding it stating that this is a big secret. Fair enough, but why do you think that the knowingness of her fate just belongs to you, Vladimir? You merely just her boss and she does not even belong you anymore. I saw it as my right to know about her fate and i dont feel like i did a big mistake. I didn't want to hurt you like what you just said about Janice, it was not the same intentions and i'm being all honest here it was the only one reason i did it." He took a pause again and closed his eyes not for long managing the nervousness of the situation " The thing is here is not everything goes according to the laws, an exception exists. We are the ones known to violate them often outside of the rig. It doesn't mean that if we brake the laws we are not the right ones. Or else why would we do this? I want you to rather look at it from this view. " With his eyes Max let them know he finished it but he looked a little unsure yet at Miles, hoping to see in his eyes what he thought on this situation.

Miles looked from side to side carefully as they gave their arguments and he gave a good nod to tolgas words. He was glad that those personal attacks seemed to settle all themselfs here. He was about to step in, in the end. And tolgas argument actually pleased miles bc he didnt set these rules up for no reason. But just as he was finishing that thought up, he heard max's argument and raised an eyelid. It sermed almost as if he didnt care about those words of max first but he took a deep breath and drove forward. Putting both his tires on the table.
"To get this out if the way first. I hope we finally can get used to our meetings to go without these attacks. It only causes more drama and eventually turns into a fight. We had that so often already and once again linger at the begin of it. I dont wanna have anyone coming out with dents today. However, back to topic. I hughly agree with tolgas words here. I didnt set these rules up for nothing. And i know exceptions makes the rule defined, there still shouldnt be the feel that you suddenly deserve to be that exact exception. I dont even agree that the rules are broken outside the rig. And the ones being caught do get their proper punishment. Eventhough it was their freetime in a way. And if its mentioned already, then janice should have been an exception too. Yes she did harm victor. But her punishment was three times so bad. And so in my speak i rather would intend equality. So max. No i wont free you from your punishment. But i will find a better solution. I wont set the punishment into victors tires. And rather give it upon vladimir. But i will check what he will do. Bc my fair decision here will be, that vladimir decides the punishment but it should not be hard. I repeat. It should not be a hard punishment. Max's argument has its right for existence and i believe that he definitly did not deserve smth bad. But at the same time he shall get a punishment. So. Is there any more words to this? If not. Then i would call this settled." Miles looked around at both sides. Vladimir seemed not at all pleased with this. Even angry. Miles hasnt seen vlad so angry in long. Tolga talked silently to vlad and gave a confident nod. Vlad sighed and looked angrily back at tolga but he seemingly was appreciating his right hands words. Victor just clenched his teeth and didnt lean towards max but talked silently "good shot max. This was ground hitting. I would have hoped that this range rover would actually get to mind and excuse you from this. But oh well. We came out as kind of innocent. It lightly damaged the reputation. But i think a save was there. Are you satisfied with the result though? Bc i doubt that it can go anybetter at this point. I will handle some things with vlad privately anyway soon enough. And dont worry, all he can do. Is send you do some extra work." Victor couldnt smirk though. Bc this felt highly degrading to him even. At this point, it needed only one more drop... and victor was ready to act in selfjustize.
While that went on, behind the door. Janice layed on her undercarriage and listened up. She put her tire to the door and actually want to go to help vlad. But she backed off and sighed. She couldnt bare how unfair vlad actually has to take this. Janice remembers the pain victor caused her. And in her opinion, max should feel atleast a bit of it... she would even do it! That would be even more fair. As she thought about that, in her mind the pain flashed back up. She remembered vividly the images of max and alex , how amused they were to torture her. And all the humiliation as she wanted to escape. As if it wasnt enough, she remember victors moment that time, how he made her near him, and threw her back. Just as if she was a worthless animal. Even if his words hit. She grit her teeth angrily and lost a tear. She hated those memorys but she hoped to put an end to it today. But the more angry tones she heard outside. The more anxious she got to show herself. She gulped on this and rubbed the floor with her tire lightly. Her mind actually made her worry... what if, the "it was driven by emotion" argument will not hit anymore? What if victor will say the same?! What if she will get punished anyway now for justice. It has to stay fair in the end. Janice rubbed the floor only harder but she forced a serious gaze upon herself. Whispering in her mind "no, you can do this. Its worth it."

Max worried inside but didn't try to show it, it was not because he was afraid of the punishment but because but because he tried not to put his group onto the wrong side. But his tries didn't really make an effect he saw it and it frustrated him. He leaned closer to Victor and muttered after his words " Thanks boss, it could be worse but at least i get support from our side and i couldn't be more grateful for it. If so i will do my part of work if it will satisfy Trunkovs" Max exchanged gaze with Alex then and both looked slightly displeased by the result, they both then glanced at Ivan who looked dark and almost judging at them, he though didn't say a single word. Curby looked over them and again decided to put his last words about the situation "Personally, I see this as a good solution for both sides. it still won't break any rules and we will follow them. Also, it will satisfy claims of the Trunkovs as they were the injured party. Surely it won't break Max, he is strong enough to be able to take it and learn to be more responsible in the future" Miles gave attention to Curby and then looked at Vladimir at this moment and raised his eyelids " So Vladimir?" Vlad gave a sigh and stood on his wheels again " So be it Miles, i will take care of Max. This is not what i would expect because he will have to work under supervising, in the end, i don't want him to cause other problems. But it is better than nothing, i will find a good solution for it. Thanks. Now i don't wanna bother other groups with this topic any longer and we should finish it at this point" Vlad saw it made no sense trying to argue Miles decision, it would only waste their time and maybe end in a more aggressive tone. Miles gave a nod to it and looked at Victor who even didn't wait for Miles to meet him with the eyes " To be honest i thought we would come to a better agreement and show some understanding to a new worker, but be it Trunkovs and i hope this will somehow satisfie you and you will pay back to Max for your stolen 15 minutes of sleep. Lastly, before we can settle it I demand some details though. It is my last question. How many hours it will take?* he heard sighs behind his back from Tubbs group and rolled his eyes, he hated to saying it but he had to look polite before other and not look rude compared to Vladimir so he added * Right after this, we can continue on another topic Miles. We are don't have too much time to discuss it so long and it's not in my interests to hold everyone up everyone here as well"

Miles nods formally and took some papers out, scribbling a few details and numbers on it. He finally pushed it towards victor. "20 hours i would say is enough. If any member of yours will repeat such an act, it will be doubled. And again, and again and so on. So yeah, i think thats a fair deal. And vladimir, if theres any permission you want, you can ask me for it. I think with that this topic is dealt well and we can close it. Victor, sign the paper. Aswell as max" he waited till they did and gave a nod, driving over to them. And take it back. He gave it to vlad then who signed too and with that it was settled. Everyone of the involved will get a copy of this. In the backroom, janice looked worried shortly and shook her hood. She knew it was about time soon and she tried building up her sure stance again and keep it as she awaited to be taken in. Miles raised his voice in that time "so. Since this is finally finished, i thank curby and tubbs for their involvement. And may this issue be handled by that, so every side has learned their lesson. Next up, we have am unnanounced issue, regarding one of the leading parts here. And its in high importance for this to finally be solved and settled." Miles drove to the door and opened it. Gently but with a light serious gaze saying "come in." Slowly he drove back and janice hesitated at first. She drove in lightly nervous still but she made it successfully to express her sureness in this. She hoped that this is gonna turn ok... even if she did had fears inside. She gazed accrossed the leaders and helpers. Alex and victor instantly glared while ivan looked only serious and cold. Prolly waiting for whats coming now. Curby actually did look ok and neutral while tubbs looked at her 'disappointed' of past actions. What surprised janice though, is the puzzled look that vlad gave. It drifted off in annoyance again. Since he didnt knew why she was here. This only made janice more nervous and she wished she could talk with vlad personally rn. He directly but normally raised his voice after raising his tire "janice. May you explain to me what you are doing here?" Miles spoke for janice and moved to the front. "Patience vladimir. It has come to my attention by personal help seeking and request that janice ran into an issue with victor hugo. Long ago this story set already but she went over it and reported his actions. Last time she even got raped by him. This mishap of rule was set in long times ago already but seemingly it didnt really stop and went on. Janice has realized her mistake on this part too but biggest credit goes to victor, who has manipulated her for his will and used the love she showed shamelessly. For that mishap, i want an explanation but no excuse seems well fitting for me here at this point and its a huge shame that a leader of us, of a high elite group even. Fails to follow such an easy rule himself and ironically seeks after a member of his concurrented group, the trunkovs. Shame of past returns here even. I would have expected atleast some self control and authoritie of a leader, victor." Miles looked to curby and tubbs who actually looked surprised, almost shocked at victor. While cole whispered smth to tubbs. This surely will be known over the rig in the next 24 hours. No jokes here. Ivans expression actually lightened and janice moved forward more beside miles. Ready to answer questions or arguments. Miles gave her a nod to give her strength and she then looked at vladimir. He still had his narrowed eyes. But they actually seemed not annoyed anymore and rather surprised in a way. They still carried so much doubt inside but janice could see that vlad actually was listening! And it made her almost speechless at this point. It was a small step but for janice so huge. Victor in that time reached over his border here and you could visibly see the pure anger. He scanned the reactions of his workers her too at this point and sharply his eyes set on max even all suddenly

Of course, no one would expect such a sharp turn on events which would hit the Hugos even harder now after an issue with Max. Max was totally shocked too and at first, right away he thought she is here because of him and Alex. But what he heard from Miles made him clench his teeth for his boss. He also saw Alex's reaction too and slowly travelled with his eyes to look at the boss. He hasn't seen Victor so angry since the day he wanted to kill Max so he looked away, he would have no words on this yet. He knew that Victor had some stuff with Janice but never actually got into the details. Victor looked furiously at Janice then again and she hid her eyes looking away. Alex narrowed his eyes angrily and was about to protect his boss but Victor pushed Alex's side and snarled looking straight at Miles and Janice, his voice sounded deeper and outraged " How dares this low ranked corvette of Trunkovs to slander me! Who is she even to raise herself so high over my reputation and accuse me in the raping! Come and say why you think it was just an act from my side, didn't you yell pleased like totally no victim would do! Decided to get help from me and get some fun time behind your boss back? Aren't you just trying to leave waters dry after all you've done? To look like an innocent one after your sins?" He looked dark over to Vladimir who looked perplexed but then bared his teeth in anger, he saw Victor could go really far to protect himself, even though it was Janice he still cared and looked protective and even ready to attack Victor back. Victor only shook his hood disappointed, there was no hint that he would smirk or behave light " Trunkov, make your face simpler before you are going to blast and make another show protecting your member now, ironically. She doesn't deserve it even i know more, much more about her. Just because she is a female it doesn't mean she is a victim automatically! Hold her on a short chain because she doesn't hesitate to gain some knowledge from me but this is not all. Did she tell you she just wanted to 'make out' in my office right after she got a piece of advice from me? This is a provoking behaviour already you don't find? Or is she also offer to 'make out' with you for example as 'thanks' hm Vlad?" He looked forward again " What is this saying to you all? I hope it is clear that she sympathise to me which is means the rape is just am impossible outcoming. It means it could only be mutual.* His eyes settled on Miles now* I'm highly unhappy you are blaming and shame me here before the other members without even knowing and clearing out the truth. She could state to you anything about me, but never i would expect you to say such in my face, without even asking me how it was! If she decided to appear here and be ashamed of herself before all us i will not stop her. This is a highly personal private life of me as well, just really defiled. For wrong exposing and disclosure, i will demand to punish her. I would insist on! Unless you all crave to know what she was saying to me? Why don't ask her?" He met Janice's gaze again on himself and his furious look made her feel even more uncomfortable, he commanded " Go on, come forward and talk the real truth out you piteous car. This is was the worst way for you to assert yourself."
All this time Ivan watched his boss a little even too obvious showing his displeasure towards the situation, he then settled his look on Janice and as the eye contact was made he slowly blinked. It was the only way to show to her his support and approving. Even if their group will be in a bad light this was the only way out to rein Victor and make him think next time.

Miles gaze furrowed into real seriousness as he gazed down to janice slowly. Almost judgingly. And it was actually in a way but he let her talk. It was the best rn if the focus will set on janices answer now. So everyone stayed silent and janice just took victors hits at her and tried not seeming too nervous. But she couldnt block it anymore and she looked more and more out of confidence. But as she saw ivans approve, she opened her mouth lightly and observed vlad shortly too. She clushed lightly but took the oppertunity and drove forward slowly. It felt like an eternity and all attention was set on this situation and her and vic. Even alex and max stayed silent which totally confused janice eventhough she could have guessed that victor hushes them. She talked really emotional suddenly and didnt took a leave before her mouth.
"It is not victor. I know what i did was the right thing. And i wont let you manipulate me anymore. Yes its true that being a female doesnt make me automatically a victim. But it also doesnt make me unable to be a victim! Thing is. I want you to finally see what you did too! So listen. Yes it is true. I did say that with the make out, but it just was bc i knew that else he wont help me. And i was afraid! I was afraid to loose my friends. I was afraid to loose my incredible mentor. And mostly i was afraid to loose vlad without a chance to make him proud or atleast happy once more. You ignored my will victor! You took more than i allowed you! And took advantage of my sorrow. And i demanded you to stop! I yelled for help to make you stop! I pushed you and fighted to get you off and outta me. But what do you do? Chuckle, grinning and only go harder! You totally ignored my will. And vic. Realize. THATS RAPE." She took a trembling breath and had tears as she angrily looked at him "i damn trusted you and once again you just did what you wanted! I tried making you stop then with going with it. Just somehow make it end. Also, I talk for vlad btw shortly, that yes i dont give vlad the same offers. But thats just bc you and me have a history vic and you atleast should have respect that its over. Bc realize, iam done with you! I actually dont want anything intime or teasing with you anymore! Why you think you can just ignore this?! What am i to you? Really just a low ranked corvette? You still have to respect my no. Its actually pathetic that you try to justify this act. " janice backed off alittle and looked at miles who didnt look at her anymore at this point of time. Janice shortly gazed at her szpporters to gain new strength... miles took a big breath and his voice actually sound angry in a way too "victor. I keep this in mind but i wont punish or act before this is discussed out. I may have done an assumption too fast. By not listening to your side. But she is a young car and i well know from our private talks back then, yes i knew even before the big day about you two bc if a pregnancy test, that she was just blinded. And it actually sounds way more likely that you took advantage of that and she finally realized. I wanna give you chances too though victor. So tell me. What you say to this." At the moment, miles actually found both sides very plausible. So he wanted to listen on to get a better grasp of these storys. Curby and tubbs actually looked judgingly at main basis. Tubbs raises his tire "so other thing. Likely she may miss out on things. Is that truly all she said to you?" Curby growled at tubbs rn but tubbs just shrugged while cole seemed neutral on this question. He cared to know too. Vladimir kept a strict gaze against victor and he actually was unsure if he really could believe janice. But he hoped she said the truth and isnt really just trying ti get iut if her sins. Vlad adds serious then "in the end victor. It should have been in your mind though to refuse this urge inside of yourself. You know exactly that its against the rules. So why you even go onto these activities when you easily could have refused it yourself too. We all have to keep ourselfs contained. Me. Curby. Tubby. Miles. And zundapp aswell as every member."

When Janice finished her speech Victor looked at her not very impressed but his gaze wasn't so furious anymore. He looked at her with disdain pondering hard, he saw she already brought the problems to him in the worst way she could but he still had some words to be able to deny some stuff and push Janice back on her place. He looked at her most of the times and with his eyes tried to say to her 'why you do this? this is not good'. Nevertheless, Janice tried to not focus her gaze on Victor for too long. And here the first attack regarding this topic came from Vladimir and Victor switched his attention to him. The slim smirk appeared on his face for a short time " Easily? " He closed his eyes and shook his hood "Vlad, are you saying? I don't think there ever a female came to your office and behave this way with you. Seemingly Janice doesn't. So would you understand me? My congratulations to you that you abstain of course, and how you know for sure that others do. But Tubbs, this is a good question. She indeed didn't tell you everything. Janice, now i'm totally disappointed that you are making me say it aloud but be it. This is the worst fame you'll get, really soon. This is actually ridiculous that the car who behaves like an experienced porn-star accusing in the raping. I'm not exaggerating at all you all heard me, she'd go far in that industry. Didn't you ask me to go harder? Wasn't i king of the lemons? Didn't you yell out on German pleased? Yes, you did. And now you make a drama and let me down in front of the other bosses. Do you see it from the same view now Miles? She wastes your time. Just so you all stop to look at me this way, i won't do it with her anymore. But if she provokes me once more or hints on that, this kinda of fun can be arranged for her. Not from me but if she looks for it she will find it, Miles, she is not the one hungry for it in the end. You can't eliminate such happenings here."
Ivan looked with contempt at first at Victor and then at Janice, he raised an eyelid. He didn't like what his boss did but the details weirded him out rn considering Janice's wishes. He saw how Alex looked at Vic then seriously and Vic nodded giving him the permission to talk now. Max actually almost chuckled on one of the moments how Vic described Janice and work that would be good for her. But he distracted from it now and watched his bro. Alex started it finally, he already had much to say to Janice and also clear out something that had been ignored seemingly "So here is what i think. Vladimir should have been aware that he is taking a girl in his group and it will happen. This place not for women. Here even men got rape sometimes but never i saw them whine about it to the big boss which again proves us she has no guts compare to the men. I would not blame Victor for this so harsh because we just know the nature and how it is. If a woman doesn't want it then she won't turn a man on. We must admit she brought enough problems already and it gets bigger and bigger every time. And too much goes off her tires seemingly for a low rank. We heard the truth and how she truly acts. She is a big part of the instigation against my boss and today she is crossing the line again. Her boss banished her to visit our territory and did she follow the rule? No, i don't recall she did. So is there the problems she wanna solve out with my boss instead of going to her own. Let's conclude it like that, she got what she wanted. But Vladimir, for the attention, you need to bring her to a certain discipline, or if you are so considering and kind then open a new vacancy for her, will be more useful." Alex finished and felt how angrily Ivan looked at him. They both had enough but Alex hated that Ivan doesn't fully stand for the boss in that situation but also for Janice. He rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze at Vladimir.

Eventhough janice didnt look at his gaze often, she literally could only clench her teeth nervousily. But it did not matter for long. As vic began talking. She opened her eyes widely and had so much the urge to interrupt him before it goes futher. But no sense. More anger in tears build up as she actually saw miles look judgingly at her. At this point of time, he actually question if janice really just wanted to get back at victor in a way... or wash herself clean rn. And miles didnt feel happy if she really just used him for that. That gaze of miles hits janice hard and the small confidence and hope she had goes on a big valley here. Leaving her lost in words. She gazed at ivan almost like pleading for help but she knew she had to do this on her own. Slowly she heard vlad sigh. She instantly turned to look at her boss who just had given that sigh and kept his eyes closed for a good moment. He put his tire on his desk and tolga watched him carefully as vlad softly talked. "True. Indeed. She did not follow my demand to not enter your territory. Again!. And she should have come to tolga with her probs. She didnt. I dont know whats wrong with her, why she acts like that around victor but around me totally different. Disrespectfull even. But alex, watch your suggestions. Iam still her boss afterall. And i decide how i make her work and how i earn money for our group. I wont ever send her on such a job. But. I decided to move her on another rig. These issues didnt pass me unnoticed or blind in the end. I dont know myself what to believe here janice. In one way i would really feel sorry for you if you truly got raped. But in another way, i know that you try to stay on this rig. And the words of victor make me sceptical. What if you just try to bypass my suggestion?" Janice stayed silent for a second and lowered to her undercarriage, whispering... "vladimir..." she took a deep breath and talked louder "i cant believe that you actually listen to victor more then my words? I said it already! I was going with it in the end. After my fight, nos and even weapons that i point at victor didnt help! I went with it so he soon stops! Thats why i sounded so pleased. I had no other choice! And it was in no way fun to me. Iam not a fucking porn star! Victor, i just used to worship you! And i realized it was wrong! You didnt. And ignored my demands to stop! But be so nice please and keep alex and max outta this. These two just like to make it worse without knowing what actually went on. Hey alex, may not be the bestest member or strongest but i still got a right for existence here! I give a good gift of work and effort to the trunkovs with my heart. I do many mistakes, thats true. But victor was a big root of it. And iam sure vlad would agree me here. I-i cant believe though boss... that you still wanna send me away. Yes its true that i fight to not go there, but thats not my reason why iam here rn. I want justice. And not more. My seek to make you proud and happy is totally aside of that. I may be the first to complain about that, but one day someone has to do it." Janice stopped talking and her tires trembled. She felt that she began running out of arguments. And max's gaze already intimidated her more. Since he did that to her in the past too. Janice tried stay calm and looked up to miles. But she couldnt see his gaze rn. And only guess what he is thinking. But he actually was really impressed to see the trunkovs and hugos opinion slightly cross here. Tubbs actually looked extremely judgingly on janice and totally was on victors side. He had experience with sich teases himself in the end. Cole actually looked interested. He could scan janice way better. And last off curby, just shook his hood. He knew himself what troubles janice caused but he finds it wrong that alex joins in herem at the same time everyone can handle it on their own and nothing is restricting victor to let his advisors speak too.

While Janice couldn't see an expression of Miles he actually looked down for a while trying to collect the thoughts and make a wealthy decision. It turned out not like he expected and had more difficult reasons. But he felt slow that he had enough with it and didn't want to go deeper into the details. He sighed and looked away shortly as he felt Zundapp's gaze on himself. He looked annoyed and raised his wheel looking questioning. He probably thought Miles did it all in vain and it wasn't worth to spend time on their drama.
In that time Vladimir still looked confused slightly and didn't know to who believe. Tolga shook him with the wheel attracting attention and told him something quietly. Vlad looked unsure at Tolga at first bt Tolga gave a node and looked at Janice again. He sighed and gave her a supporting gaze, even if he was disappointed he didn't want to break her will right here. He saw how her wheels trembled and his eyes looked even sad at her. Vladimir after that fixed his gaze on more neutral. But he still didn't know what to say on that.
Ivan struggled with himself after her words and tried to accept that she had to do this to end it quicker, even if it sounded like a weak excuse she wouldn't ask help from the big boss if it wouldn't be the truth. Alex still looked pretty aggressive, Max curious and Victor only threw a cold gaze even if inside he already began to celebrate that Vlad believed him, he didn't show it though obviously and stated "Whatever. Conclude it. The arguments of her don't sound so strong just because there no exists good ones for her in that case. She is guilty as well in many aspects. if you take action against me, take action against her too."
Miles looked a little exhausted at Vladimir and Vladimir gave a nod "Alright. Though i'm not sure anymore how i can punish Janice, i did often already and it brought only the worse results. Now again. She came back just recently and even wasn't able to work for too long since she was bullied by Hugos. They damaged her that much, you can still see." He looked at the Hugos now and Max saw how he gazed at him as well "But i will tell you, i will keep her on the short chain as you advised me, but if anyone from you will touch her again, or search for her on my territory. Blame yourself for the consequences, i may break the rules one day too because seemingly excuses as 'provoke and feel' are working out okay here. Put it in your pipe and smoke it, Max, because i know you will work on my territory soon." He looked calmly back at Miles "Excuse me. I will punish Janice for all and talk to her privately. I don't wanna this go on any longer. But you should consider that Janice would never ask for help from you if it wouldn't be that serious. It is may more serious than what we can think".

Miles pondered and set himself higher as vladimir finished his words. He motioned with his tire that he didnt want to hear anymore arguments and discussions anymore. For miles this was enough too. Janice watched this and gazed at vlad. She felt mixed feels. she didnt really felt succesfull. She couldnt detect how vlad is feeling here but prolly not happy about her either. That made her look down slightly. She just wondered how she can be wrong in this case. She knows she did many mistakes but she had hoped to be right for once. And now she will be punished by vlad? She sobbed once but stopped it instantly and rose up. No she wont be so weak rn. Even if it didnt turn as expected... its better than leaving it unspoken... prolly.. maybe. She wasnt even sure anymore. She just hoped that finally it has an end though with her private times with vic. Bc that will definitly stop luckily and the bullying. But soon everyone on the rig will know what has happened and build their own opinion. She sighs... She just was unsure about the talk with vlad now more than the other things. Eventhough he did bring a last nice argument for her. Making her smile rly slimly. Miles actually took that quite ok "it is quite right. I know she else wouldnt even talk to me at all. Theres still the question of course if she just wanted to get back at vic or smth else. We wont know and i will just accept it as this, both sides were doing their mistake here and janice does deserve punishment aswell on this part. Since we cant be sure about the complete truthness of her words. All we can do is deal fair with this and make her learn. Good succes for that vladimir and i hope to see atleast some betterment of her. Whatever you will plan. Dont forget to report this though, since its an issue overgoing more than just the trunkovs groups interest." Janice lightly tapped miles back and he gazed surprised at her as she politely asked "and... if i may ask. Not to be rude but what punishment will victor get?" Miles looked neutral on that and turned back to look forward "i was just about to mention this anyway. Vic already will receive a big dishonor for breaking a rule as boss. Which i know is already a huge punishment for him since it damages his groups reputation not just lightly. What i think fairly should be added though is smth with a better use. For a month. From every raid and mission, his group has to give 20% of what they loot. Money, food and objective wise. Off to the trunkovs. I think thats more work and dishonor enough for now." Janice pouted slimly first she thought she herself wont get punished and now this with vics... she knew this punish affects victor highly... but since she cant imagen it, it didnt satisfy her either. For every torture and pain... she kinda would have wished he would get more backlashed on him here. This was just feeling shitty to janice and she wanted to finish that up as fast as possible aswell "thank you everyone for attending this meeting. I will inspect if every setting for this gets followed and hopefully, those things wont occure again. It is a huge shame everytime when a conflict occurs like that. Have a nice day." Miles directly got taken by zundapps words who seeked shortly his attention. Janice interrupted though and mouthed a really sincere thank you towards him. She slowly drove out first but didnt stop to talk for everyone. It was too loud for her rn. And she waited behind the main door of the meeting room. Where everyone leaves.
Victor shortly stayed on his place as the meeting got ended. He growled aggressively and gazed at vladimir shortly. Before looking just forward and talk silently to his members. "This was an gigantic dishonoring step rn. We will have to work harder for this month to bring in enough stuff so no struggle will appear... but this reputation that got set on us just for these jokes. Thats a total disgrace. Iam glad you three were here supportingly. Max, i want you to be ready to take this work in a moderate way. Dont let that set you down at all, you are better than that. I still cant believe this actually happened rn. Who does she think she is after i actually did support her. I told you two not to touch her in the end. Trunkov stays trunkov i guess. I wont leave it like this. Thats for sure." Victor actually didnt give ivan any gaze here bc he actually was angry at him in a way too. But main thing was that he awaited words rn of his advisors to this.

Max talked to Victor as they had to wait letting some rushing cars to leave the room "I'm okay with it and i won't let them set me down. Miles said i have to work i don't have a choice now. I just need the schedule and details of where i will work. It's my biggest concern right now but you can be sure, i will not bring the troubles to our group. Vlad didn't even have to say to me such an obvious thing. I'm not an idiot."
Alex looked seriously at Max but noded supporting and they moved out of the room. All they noticed Janice just standing and waiting outside. Max didn't really look at her. But Victor stared at her and in his eyes, you could read a pure dislike and even slimly contempt. Slowly he looked away from her setting on his casual gaze.
Of course, the mood of the group was really down right now, both Max and Alex were shocked by what has happened and the punishment their group received. Of course, Alex saw it as a more drastic problem than what Max could imagen on this. He seemingly looked loaded about the thoughts how his extra work will go on Trunkovs territory. Ivan hooked Victor's wheel after the gesture and silently towed him back to the office. Alex followed Victor by side together with Max. "Boss i'm really sorry for what had happened, i tried to bring the arguments that i personally thought were important as well. I know Janice and how bravery she can lie to get benefits for herself. A month seems like way too strict punishment for our group. It was really unfair of Miles to set the percent that high too. We are all being pressed down recently and get shame on the meetings, it just looks like Trunkovs tries to corner us slowly. Unbelievable how she can harm to our group just wiggling her ass around here. No, like seriously... What did she.." The deep voice of Ivan interrupted him suddenly "Alex you better shut your mouth!" Ivan kept driving and gritted his teeth in anger, he tried to behave and stayed calm for a way too long to be able to listen to the haterade towards Janice. There was a silence for a good 5 seconds. Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at Ivan confused and not believing in what he just heard. And all it was right before their boss. "Ivan!" Victor snarled and with his wheel pulled Ivan's tow. His voice sounded really angry but he tried not to yell aloud since they still were not on their territory " Explain to me your behaviour today? You didn't really make it enough at the meeting and now you shut Alex's mouth when he is talking to me! Your boss! You are totally losing your touch getting obsessed over your student who doesn't make anything good to our group but just the troubles. She even doesn't make you look so strong anymore and you are still shaken for her!"
Ivan stayed silent and looked forward serious while Alex widened his eyes and then narrowed them and shook his hood. Victor hissed "Tasting my patience Ivan? Right after worst results for your group you picked the worst time for the riot... Wait till we will get to the office though". Max looked confused as well at Alex but kept following.
-------
Janice looked sad at how Victor gazed at her and looked down on the floor then not wishing to see or think about Victor feels and thoughts. She slowly closed her eyes as the cars passed her time to time. She wished all this would end better to her. If she only would not scream all these words aloud to Victor she could win this and not be ashamed of how Victor described her before the others. This actually was painful and her body felt a tense as if she squirmed shortly from pain. She felt a touch on her hood and flinched. "Ehem, Janice" Tolga looked at her worried and turned away motioning with his wheel to follow him. Janice saw how Vlad already drove a little forward before them and sighed. But suddenly Tolga pushed her wheel and looked at her all serious but with hope, he whispered "Janice, i will help boss to make a fair decision over you. I know some days ago he visited you again and i'm glad this is going to stop. You must make a big step now too and look determined and confident with your feels.I'm not happy you didn't ask my permission or advice from me, even if you know i'm the closest car to Vlad and can make a good influence. I'm saying it because i saw how you worried at the meeting..." Tolga saw how Vlad turned and glanced at them "Tolga, i will talk to Janice okay? Believe me, i saw it not worse." He sighed and turned again making Tolga drive beside him and Janice just followed behind them. Soon they neared Vlad's office and Vlad smiled when he saw Boris there who raised himself and looked over this company, his eyes shortly stopped on Janice and he saw she looked sad. Was not what he wanted to see so he looked not so excited "Where is your boss Vlad?"
Vladimir opened the office and looked a raised his eyelid "He is still in the meeting room probably. I don't know. Anyway, why do you ask?". Boris just smirked and waved with his wheel "Not much important for you to know yet, i will wait for him since he said he will meet me near your office. But what is going on? Are you finally decided to give attention to Janice?" Vladimir opened the door and pointed Janice to come in silently while he still looked at Boris. It was hard to see what he wanted to convey with the expression but you could see he felt frustrated and tired "Yes, i must again... Tolga, can you make sure Boris will meet Miles, if he won't appear you can show him where is the office of him." Vlad again looked confused at Boris wanting to hear more about it but Boris stayed quiet saying he just wants to have a personal conversation with the boss. Innerly Vlad already felt why Boris wanted to meet Miles, he almost guessed it was regarding the work but it didn't sound like Boris. In the end, why would he make such a sacrifice for this place he doesn't feel like belongs to?
Vlad closed the door and drove to the desk placing comfortably. He sighed and rubbed his side of the roof closing his eyes. He then fixed his gaze on Janice and narrowed his eyes " Finaly, we are talking tet-a-tet again after some time. I didn't expect similar questions to appear between us again, but now, i wanna hear your short and clear answers. Why did you go to his office again? You know what he wants from you, you knew and still went." He hit his table in frustration and looked up " How you don't see it? Why don't you understand? Are you still wonder why i decided to transfer you on another rig?" He looked at her half annoyed but half tired, he was just really tired to solve out the same problems about Victor.
(janice you be breath here pls xD )

Alex shook his shortly after and smirked. Eventhough he was confused, he felt rightfull in his talking. But a silence shortly set upon them anyway. Victor looked extremely stern. But alex sighed once he looked at max for a while. It was like his eyes were asking if his bro believes that talking at all now would be wise. Alex did in the end "ok let us get to the office. But mainly i want to conclude that definitly we shouldnt be the ones to take this kind of consequence and shame upon us for smth that she caused herself all alone. I experienced her. As me and max attacked her once, she even tried flirting with me to make us stop. Obviously was a ruse. But in my opinion, she should wonder when eventually someone does forcingly take her. She doesnt watch her mouth at all. Not a single bit. And iam aware that at first she did it voluntarily with you, else she wouldnt have come back. At this point, i dont see any guilt that we should have taken for it. I dont know, it really seems like she wanted to clean herself from her own faults. But who knows. Maybe it even was her plan to get the trunkovs advantage. Its a hugh assumption. But imagen it. Though i doubt shes that smart." Alex grinned and he felt a light amused nudge from max. They both were amused here. Alex even pronounced it stupid in a way to underline it. But victor didnt gave an answer. To himself tjis was exact but didnt need a reaction. Once at the office, he locked it open and ivan dragged him inside. Max and alex followed up. Victor rose his tire, demanding a whipe silently and he cleaned his front tires shortly. He got to his seat and turned his pc on. He then got out some files and finally set his eyes back on them. He also got a paper out and filled in some things.
"Alex, max, ivan. I hope that atleast you all can agree to alex's words. That the trunkovs are cornering us more and more. These 20% are drastic. And i know that you all enjoy ypur life like it is rn. But temporarily. It wont be like that. I so ehow gotta explain that to the workers now. And mostly the raiders. How am i supposed to tell them that they gotta work longer. But cant even keep all of what they get for themselfs for example? Or for the group? How am i supposed to explain that we will work longer but for the trunkovs! That is a high tense. I still will have to explain it to everyone but miles should not expect that my workers are just slaves. We are territorial. And i honestly dont blame anyone for building up even more hate towards the ukrainien then the already existing despise. Its cold times. But i will get back to that in a minute. Let me focus on you first ivan. You inloyalty today and non existent work and support didnt leave me unnoticed. And its abstract and unbelievable that you break your strong postion just like that. As mentor. She is supposed to learn from you. Not you from her. But i cant afford supporting the trunkovs more anyway. Also. I want my second right hand back. These pathetic protections towards her have nothing to do in a politicial like situation. Were you actually should stand to support the result. Even max got that done eventhough hes new! Now look at that. And iam proud of him. But i think these two here will agree me when i say that we have to put an endline to this toxicity for you. I just cant afford that and risk that. So ivan. What iam meaning to say is. I cancel your mentorship to janice. I wont even feel sorry for her here. She proofed well that she deserved it by damaging hundreds of us hugos here and our reputation. So. I want you to sign here. I dont even need your signature to settle this but it just looks better like this. And last off. I restrict you from going on the trunkovs territory for some time. Its drastic but needed measures. I want to be able to depens and trust you again. And it will only be reached like that. If anyone catches you outside. You will see. Just as right hand, doesnt mean you cant do what you want." *on the paper were every details of the cancelation. And victor already signed it* "ok, i hope i can finally get back to topic now. Alex, max. I want you two to keep up stability in this month. Its to be expected that many members will strike against this or even willingly attack trunkovs. Thats mostly rom low ranks i believe. I dont blame them. But it only would make things worse. For smth worsening but satisfying. I got own plans already. And it surely will satisfy our workers. It may sink oir reputation. But in this case it will show our independence besides every other single lemon on this rig! Just bc we are working for miles, doesnt me that we take everything. No. We fight for our rights and i think that even brings us a greater reputation in some way. What i mean to say is.
The cold war between the trunkovs and hugos is over, be ready my faithful and strong advisors. The real war will begin."

Janice gave boris only a ahort reaction beside her sad looks. Assuring him that shes still in the process but she innerly was even more afraid now. It felt so surreal to talk to vlad again and the short strains of pain returned in tacts. It was as if she felt her heart pound and she did actually. Bc it really bit at her nerves more them anything. But she knew... she soon has it behind her. Only one big step and its over. She just hoped that tolga will indeed somehow be able to help her?! She knows she messed up by not telling him, but she saw no other choice either. In the end, she got that idea with telling miles, way later. What janice actually made nervous aboit boris words, is that they easily can come off as provoking almost to vlad. But maybe that was just her view. Inside the office now. She looked around andnit actually felt way less like home. She remembered the sweet activities with him but it all felt like long died past. Janice felt the mosaik on the ground and saw the piano covered up again. She sighed. Just how can things change so extremely much... she saw that vlad didnt offer a nice comffy seat. Obviously bc of the serious talk. Janice still lightly shook in her tires but she catched a breath and tried rising herself. Just somehow show how sincere she is. She tried really hard to somehow look confident in a way... "heh yeah... uhm i. I first wanna say thank you for the meetings words of yours, before i get to topic. Iam glad too that we actually get to talk again... i did really miss it. However. Uhm. Yeah ok i- i think i can start vlad. Uh i mean-vladimir." She made a more safe position to talk more clearly she was unsure but she hoped to finally use the chnce... maybe this was part of her new chance in the end! Just it bothered her that she had to be short. Well she doesnt blame him. "Ok so. I have gone to his office, bc he promised me to find a solution for my problems. I wanted you back, i wanted the family back and thats it. I fell for that wrong promise bc i saw no other way. I realized it was hella stupid and i should have gone to tolga. But i finally set a line between me and victor. Bc i definitly dont wanna have this happening again vlad. And you can be sure by vics reaction that it wont will." Janice breathed trembling in. She tried so hard to stay strong and confident. But vlads tone and how he said that with the transfer hit her hard. Leading her back to her dream. She xlosed her eyes. "I did see it finally vlad. But it obviously only sounds like empty words coming from me. And i dont even wonder why you want to send me away. Maybe it seems to be the best. But vladimir. Realize! I dont wanna go on another rig though. I belong here on this one! I dont wanna loose ivan, i dont wanna loose you! And can you imagen how i be treated on that other rig now. Mostly after this meeting!" Janice knows her words only seem like the ones in the past again, bit she doesnt know what else to say. It was the truth in the end. But also it may seems like an egoistic choice of her that she tried to sweeten up with words. She saw that vlads gaze didnt change on her words really. And she searched for the lost feel between them. But theres just. Nothing.
-------
Tolga looked serious at first until vlad and janice finally left into the office. He took a deep breath and raised an exhausted eyelid towards boris. "I tell you. This meeting didnt went too well. I can imagen that she told you about her plan boris? I wish you would have warned me first atleast. Vlad got robbed information in the night already. Yet more stress set upom him. And now... even if hugos get punished. Janice gets punished too for her thing with victor." Tolga sighed in a groan stressed. This wasnt an easy meeting to take. "I just hope miles will appear fast. I wonder what you planned. But iam glad you actually seem so active. Even while the meeting. Thats really a kind act of yours. May i ask what you wanna talk about. Atleast the surace of it" tolga smiled actually now. The talking with boris reliefed alot of stress and boris could prolly notice how he rised the mood for someone. Feels probably really nicely.

As the last words of Victor were said Alex widened his eyes a little shocked, he didn't expect this day would lead them into something serious like that. He shortly thought about a bid day back then and this was like a flashback. Everything they received after this attempt and how long they build the trust. Though this one mustn't be that drastic? He himself felt a dislike to the Trunkovs acts and he had to trust his boss, in the end, he was the boss not for nothing and unlikely dangerous decisions would be made. His gaze looked serious and confident and he nodded "We are ready all the time Victor you know, for that, you will even don't have to encourage our men." Victor looked serious and respectful back at Alex he then gazed at Max who kept his stance just like Alex. Victor actually smirked almost in a kind way and his gaze then set on Ivan, the smirk disappeared from his face.
Almost all the time standing in the office, after Vic's words, Ivan looked like he had no feels or was empty. He hated that he had to bear it and obey, he didn't want too. He hated that Alex didn't stop to talk about Janice and made it only worse. He stood strong on his wheels but Janice was important for him and he didn't want to give up on this, even if now it seemed hopeless. He wanted to be her mentor and not let her down but it was a very hard fight inside of him. He clenched his teeth and drove closer to the desk slowly. Max and Alex looked at him curiously and tbh Alex didn't expect that it would trigger the boss so much but it made a big sense and he totally understood it. He hoped it would bring a more decent relationship back with his old friend because it all got worse after Janice's appearing. Victor almost didn't look at Ivan till he came close and put his wheel over the list with an order Ivan still looked deadly serious though and spoke out looking at Victor "Boss listen, if i am still your advisor then you should at least listen to my advice. You even listen to a newcomer who is just really lucky he got a place under the sun befriending with Alex. It looks like he is overestimated bc of it but however it is not what i wanted to say. I understand you are mad at the Trunkovs because of this day but don't be harsh with your decisions and let it settle in your mind. Not just the Trunkovs decide but also Miles. If the sex wouldn't happen then we wouldn't have to pay. Easy like that and I'm not protecting Janice, she is a fool in her way too but this is my goal to make a warrior from the car like her and prove it the fair and hard way. I don't change my opinion or make it based on my care about her, but we must admit everyone can have flaws. Even us."
-------
"You've been setting a line between us and Victor for soo long. Really long Janice. Again, you said you went to Victor's office because you wanted to come back to us. It's almost like say,,, i went deeper in the waters because i want to be on the land. Dry and safe." He sighed and his eyes were almost closed, he silently looked over worried Janice. His eyes looked sad suddenly and he looked away on his papers. Even if his look didn't really convey the feels his heart didn't beat the same calm way. He didn't know how to act with her right but he felt sorry for her. He remembered already the accident she had with Max which kinda also was her fault partly. Just why didn't she learn it? He closed his eyes and rubbed his hood again. He wanted to send her away but she was correct, the way others will treat her. It will happen not once more. He probably will regret dealing with this again and again on the meetings and he would hate this attention. He then opened his eyes and looked over her again but more serious " Even if you never yet proved your words regarding Hugos. Never Janice, just think about it. The step today you made was big and finally good. Seems like last time with you Victor indeed bend it too much but i don't know what else should've to happen got you to realise. Don't trust Hugos. Don't trust. Especially Victor. Have the problems? Come to Tolga. You have something important to solve? Come to me, i won't kick you away if it's so. Write it down and read it instead of prayer every day. i don't recognize you. You became weaker and you can't stand for yourself anymore. I don't know what is wrong with you, but it's me the one who took you to these places so i will be responsible. I have no other choice. You're staying on this rig. But your work and special schedule will be made for you. Also, you move to another room."
------
Boris looked down and his smirk disappeared for a while "I sadly think i screwed up Tolga, that thing that i didn't tell you about her plans. I feel really bad letting her go there alone, i was afraid of this tension between her and Vlad, also the transfer would likely happen then. And she wants to stay here, really much. I hope that she will make Vlad decide it wise.." Boris looked at Tolga again and a mysterious smile appeared on his face when he asked him about Miles. He lowered himself closer to Tolga " Well the thing is that i wanna make it aka surprise for Vladimir. I just see his hard situation atm and i decided that i should get some work here. Official assured of course so it's why i need Miles.. But yeah, not a big deal behind it, don't worry"

Victor actually settled down and listened to ivan with his serious gaze. You can say much about victor, but not that vic isnt listening. He slowly looked over the paper and ivan again as he sighed and held his tire tight on the paper still. As if he still awaited the signature.
"I actually have hoped to get some words of you today finally ivan. Seems like you did finally decide to approach me alittle again here. But i gotta advise you to leave max outta this for now. He may has caused a first prob of the meeting but thats outta thought rn. Things got to be fixed. Rightfully. And iam actually glad that he was there today. While you decided to stay silent. I actually will give this more thought. But iam quite pleased about the ready stance of my workers if i do decide for the war. You know well that iam not impulsive ivan. But i rather believe that you tend to get to that. Its just a shame that you gotta see it that way. Of course we arent perfect. We saw today but what does that mean? That we arent allowed to stand for our reputation, and also, for our rights? Sorry to disappoint ivan but the cold war has longed for so much time. And so many hits had to be taken. Even before max became a real member. It was a question of time when the day will come. And the reason has come. So. I sadly have another reason why to restrict you from seeing janice. Not just the ones you can guess, but also bc in a war, i cant afford you to train a member of the enemys. And iam sure max and alex find this plausible. Now dont hold so tight onto this. If we win and the trunkovs capitualate, you can see her again~" victor leaned back and watched ivans tire awaitingly. It took him alittle too long already. And he did give this more thought but just in case also some planning already.*
---------
Janice didnt like how done vlad seemed and how much more he rubbed his hood. It was just his biggest indicator for stress. She observed her tires andherself overall unnoticably. Seeing herself as the obvious cause for that. But as vlad ended his words she actually got nice tint of happy feels. It was in a not really high amount but enough to make her feel better. And glad that her act did atleast smth right. Vlad seemed to see it the same way and that meant more than anything else to her!
She respectfully lowered and was in a split of unsafety innerly and that tint of relief. But it was hard still to watch vlads reactions anyway.. just smth of it... even if she could understand.
"I-i know i never proofed my words. But iam glad i did smth right here... it-it was about time vladimir. Iam highly appreciating your decision to not send me to another rig. It makes me feel alot safer already and i hope... with whatever work you put me in, that i can do well! I can be stronger! I just was in a bad phase. And destroyed its root...I know i know, the hope to it doesnt seem bright. But yeah... i will remember though to finally address you or tolga its just... iam confused. You said tolga is responsible for me. So... i actually should only write a letter to you first if i wanna address smth to you? Or ask tolga to tell you? Iknow you wont kick me. I just wanna respect... your view here and yeah. That." She lost her smile and neutrally approached him alittle "uhm. May i ask where and when i gotta move then? I believe boris gets my room then right?" She tilted to the side question. As she hid some sadnness innerly from that. Like vlad doesnt recognize her, she doesnt recognize him either.. well in a different way. Its just not the vlad she had sealed in her heart. She felt just like a streetcat that vlad cant get off his tire now anymore and has to look what to do with her now.
--------
Tolga actually leaned away from boris quite surprised, he knows some things about boris already at this point. And he didnt expect this at all rn. He cautiously approached him again and asked with an amused smirk "are you really sure? I mean. You didnt really seemed like a fan of this place. But i tell you, its probably the biggest present you can give vlad rn. And i tell you. Once that with janice settled. You will enjyo it here way more. Goodluck for that. Even a good approacj to go to miles first. You already think like a great member. Tires up for that" tolga chuckled but innerly in his roof he decided not to go too deep onto janice more here. He just knew it would lower this moment and mood. But equally, he cant calm boris with assumptions of what will happen. Its fact, they both just have to wait for whats coming.
