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:

Janice felt like this all couldnt be real. It seemed so surreal yet real how ivan is describing it. But she felt sorry herself that he has to do that step now... at the same time she let her gaze shine at him. That he actually does this for the lemons lifes too. That he can stand for the more important things here! Janice was in awe and looked up to him here. But literally. She was impressed. You clearly could see it. She tried raising herself alittle more up towards his size... as much as she could before lowering into his side again. These plans. They seemed so riskfull and misleading but worth it. she did understand what he meant... she could let this info be deliefered by other tires. That could theoretically work. Concerned she watched ivan noticing the nosy informant. It was a bit sad to think that he used to be janices best friend. She sighs and gave then that sad look at him. Which ivan luckily broke with his actions. It tickled her metal and she giggled silently and sweetly. Pushing it away after a few seconds. " Hey! You stop first~" She gave all love transformed in a confident smirk and nod to him. Eventhough she did feel a bit sad to say goodbye like that already. She totally understood though...she closed her eyes thankfully. Feeling her eyes get a bit wet in pure loves admiration while he hugs her, in the end. Her own problem didnt had to do with so many lifes and also, if she didnt help, then boris might even get killed by vic personally! She doesnt wanna loose both ivan and boris.
"Horosho~ yes i can. Iam sorry but i really had to see you after that signature. I know you never would have signed voluntarily. But i wanted to make sure that you are fine atleast. Good oppertunity for this important talk. I already got a plan how to bring this across. You can count on this little version of yourself~ thank you dad. I really admire your bravery and wanna help you on that step. Its really motivating to see that you arent victors toy yourself and stand for whats right. It makes me feel that i did the right thing aswell. I just- i just wish we would have more time to spend" she grasped him tighter. And didnt let go for a second. But slowly it loosened and she just stayed in the hug still. "Now... i wish you goodluck too... thank you and see you tomorrow hopefully. Bestest dad" she smirked and felt nervousity grew. Years back when she already saw him as father... she did it already once but thought it was wrong. Yet he never mentioned it again... so maybe now, that she finally knew that he completly shared the same father daughter feel. She can try it again. Just as they wanted to split ways. She gave him a fast light kiss. Accidentally a bit clumsy slightly on the mustache but that didnt matter. She just watched him leave and went away herself. She sighed and clenched her eyes closed not able to believe he had to go through this. Yet again, its maybe the hit back that victor will need. Janice stayed faithfull and rather wanted to get towards the plan right away. But there are only two who would even care to help her. She just shortly put a tire near at her side, distracting. Thinking shortly of whats happening inside of herself here at the same moment of time... this was a good short thought before switching back to seriousness. Janice grabbed paper and a pen. Then secretly went to the kitchen and looked for the workers logbook... she saw marks room right away noted
And that was her destination! If he wanted to impress, than this was his chance. Janice knocked at the door and awaited for him to open. Letting in the panicking message and its as if luck seemingly is here now! Bc yes. He opened the door. Serious janice came right to the point as he let her inside!
"Mark. I got smth for you to do...
You gotta stop or rather lighten a war... i cant do it myself."
(Poor boi xD)

It was very interesting to see how alex took the words out of max's mouth himself. Of course nothing bad or drastic. But you once again saw that they both worked together like a well oiled mashine and didnt got into unnecessary conflicts. Dependable and trustable. Like it should be, victor thinks. He just couldnt hold back a sly smirk eitherway. That was amusing anyhow that it came up now and all at once. Victor silently went down and got out an already prepared pack... it was thick. He shoved it over and max's name was really pretty written on it. Upon opening... you saw 45.000 inside.
"I waited for that question max. And some money for ranking up and working hours collected itself in a pile already. With that you definitly can get yorself a laptop worthy of your rank. Now that you ranked to an important advisor and high rank already, it will be needed anyway that you stay close connected to us and mostly me, just as alex described. What else important is the infos of the other bosses and miles even. That can happen aswell. Am glad alex is preparing you for this work fast and smooth. Let it bring fruits of success to you and our group. Another thing max. Now that you finally received a weapon worthy of your rank. It is time that your look will represent it either. Get your trunk to the garage for costumization and let the work be done. After ivan was here of course. I myself dont think that he will take this lightly. What a pity if he will choose that way. So, Max, alex. You two did your job very excellent today. Like that it should be kept up. Now. Let us wait for him." Victor gave an agreeing nod to max expressed thankfulness. Its what he likes to see obviously. But it didnt took long for this calm mood to be broken. Victor motioned them already to stand beside his desk. Like two bodyguards. With his tires seriously put in a stack. He gazed cold and emotionless towards his right hand entering. Max somehow could already sense that tension himself. Ivan gave a serious scan towards the overall situation. Victor handed his tire out harshly.
"What did you call me for boss?" Ivan didnt guess yet what that tire motion meant. But victor scoffed
"This moment of time has proofen itself to be a difficult moment for us hugos. We need all support we get and all trust we can have. I dont wanna risk our members life while they wanna fight for their rights. Iam sorry. But its not possiblw to fully trust you once the day sets in. Recently you seemed too split into two worlds. You can proof your loyalty ivan, with your tires. Until then. Give me your weaponary arsenal. I count your hook in that too."

Janice didnt push marks tire away. Eventhough she couldnt really calm down rn... she thought. She settled onto his couch and exhaled a sigh like no other. Stretching a bit. Just now she actually realized how exhausted and tired she has gotten from this day. Lightly she waved her tire but didnt loose her serious look, she wanted mark to settle into this and take her seriously
"Ahh no. Iam fine mark many thanks... Though... i gotta admit, a calming tea would be nice. Yes. Thing is. I dont want you to see this as silly? Alright? I lost the mentorship of my father. But i knew he got forced to sign. And i met him just minutes ago. He warned me... that victor ended the cold war between our groups. Victor is planning an hard and evengeful attack. Idk when he will do it. But its going to be very soon. Ivan made it clear to me that we HAVE to warn vladimir. To atleast try saving some lifes. Yes. Lifes. But i should not be the one writing that info. Vladimir will not believe me at all. I even doubt that he would read the letter right when he receives it. But also, its important that no one knows that i shared this info. Or else. Victor will never stop hunting me till i hang headover in a speer of his kind of... and same goes for ivan. Bc then its clear that he told me that... we need your help mark... vladimir needs your help. The whole group. I cant do it. I just cant. Do you get why its so urgent? And we should do it NOW." Janice took an report paper out that she took with her and a pen. Handing it towards mark. "So... are you in?" She sometimes gazed at the lava lamp and it almost made her even more sleepy. But she was able to hold her seriousness. Yet she would really enjoy sleeping here... so calming. Warm. And a place without hatred or despise.
--------
Victor hit his desk with his tire suddenly. Clenching his teeth but giving ivan an death stare. He waited till ivan finally shut up and then victor leaned back comfortably again.
"This is exactly it ivan. I dont mind that you have opinions and that other distracting stuff. But when it goes all on serious times. When we really NEED you. Then you cant just turn back. In those times. I want to be able to depend on you. And no hour or effort of your work can take that away. I need you NOW, not just back then, and you sadly dont seem to give me what should be easily expectable. In a war. As a high rank, you need to be a lead for the others aswell. Support and a back up. But rather recently, you seem like a traitorous threat. Did you know that cars that actually had to work with you, eventually began refusing today. Look at yourself. You loose your authority and strength. And for what? Someone who isnt even seeming to proceed from your lesson. Do you know what i rather see? That YOU go worse! Whos the student and the teacher when seemingly you learn from her?! Whats more important to you. Her, or your work? I would have let you have your connection with her. If i atleast would be able to depend on you on meetings and here! But it just isnt happening. I never asked much of you, so dont try to stick that note at my windshield!" Victor growled and hissed darkly. There was no respect in his own voice anymore "watch your step ivan. Real closely! Just because you are a high rank, doesnt mean i allow you to risk my group. Now stop whining once more! And give me back my property. Atleast show some pride, alright? My only job is being your boss and not your friend. Providing my groups success and safety. Get that in your rooftop." Victor looked serious. Alex gave a short look at max. And after he scanned his bro. He suddenly talked too "mistake never should have been your "daughter". She made you weak and destroyed what i called a friend once. If she died long back for her own mistakes. Then you probably would have been better now. And all this wouldnt even have happened. For even admitting this. You are kind of a shame for us." Alex then looked serious forward but into noones face..max could see this as kind of an before taste... but it was much ivan had to take rn.

Janice was so reliefed innerly that mark was willingly helping her. And somewhat she found it cute how focused on calmness he is. His room is so authentic and sweet. So... she luckily had someone to go to. That made it calming more then the tea could. Janice held it with her tire and let its warm steam touch her lips. As she noticed how nervous he was though. Like that he probably cant write. He really has to calm a bit. So janice tried her best to not sound so dead and emotionlessly serious anymore
"I thank you with my full heart mark. You save so many lifes today. Iam certain about that. And it really shows me too that you do seriously stick to me. Its... its really sweet to have someone i can finally call a friend again." She sharply breathed in with her eyes closed. Letting it soak her thoughts for a second "what matters is truly to stay calm. I think in the end... you are right. The more nervous we are... the more attackable we are. And the hugos are so well planned out that it can be the whipe out of the trunkovs. He almost won the big day in the end. But we wont let it come that far. I myself can answer your question though... well from my perspective. Since i used to be a member. Thing is, the hugos arent family... more like a true criminal organization. And only focused on work. Victor is not seen as a part but rather as the mighty leader. Did you know that hugos actually, since the big day, only see victor as boss and ignore miles stance. They are territorial... so yeah. Hatred builds way faster. They sadly seem like not seeing us as their lemon brothers and more like a bother. But everything has its reasons mark." Janice smirked lightly and sipped the tea fully in a row. Before whiping her lips "that actually is a really nice flavour. Havent ever had it. Thank you alot mark. Hmm. I have an idea. Before you write the letter; how about we both play a little game before. Monopoly or smth. Just for its sake." She really wanted to help him just as he helped her rn with the tea. Its her expressing support and thankfulness. Eventhough it wasnt easy in such a situation. But janice could use his company a bit anyway.
-------
Just like ivan felt disappointed... victor did just the same. He even was angry. That ivan refused giving the hook didnt help at all. With property... victor innerly implied ivans life. But he didnt want to point that out besides max and alex. So he stayed quiet about these past words of his and didnt made them clear. Rather he rises his body rapidly "ivan! Stop yelling at my right hand. Thats my job if needed. He can have an opinion just as you do. And just because he doesnt fall for her tricks, doesnt mean he gotta treat her as soft as you do. Alright? Now. Stop or you eventually have to excuse yourself to him. But enough of these childish things. I think max agrees me that we dont need much more of that here. Mostly not in a serious conversation. Sad that you will refuse helping on the war aswell. So i was right, expecting that you turn your back at us for that day. When the workers under you actually wanna lay hopes in you. For their rights! Its not their fault that all this happens and the punishment was too big for an incidint bc of your dear daughter deciding to wash her name clean infront of her irresponsible boss. Thats prideless of her and brought suffering for uninvolved cars. And vladimir didnt even deny the punishment. Their issue now, they will see when cars fight for their rights. Now that i cant count you in, i gotta say that iam not taking your disrespect to refuse and letting me down easily. Ivan. You will be deranked till you realize the values of our group again. Just bc you were my right hand, doesnt mean you are protected from any consequence. Now get out of my eyes
.You can keep the hook if you delight but with that, you aint allowed to punish cars. Good night." Victor motioned max and alex to pick up the weapons and keep them safe for a while. He noticed their gazes of dstrust on ivans moves and victor decided to cut it short by that sight "and no words anymore ivan. Go and Sod off. You have enough time to proof yourself"

Janice blinked surprised. She did notice that she hasnt ever noticed mark. But she didnt thought that he was THAT new. She believed it was mere coincidence that she didnt saw him so obviously. In the end, he didnt made himself stick out dramatically like the specific low ranks would. Softly she breathed through her teeth and gazed upwards to him.
"Hey. Thats ok, maybe thats better even if we solve it now. But you actually caught pretty much off guard with being so new. May i ask how you actually joined vlad? Did he offer you work just like that or was there more behind it. Would be interesting to know and maybe make you even more confident by to talking about that. Back to topic i swift fast though, bc i doubt that we can tell this miles. Its probably smth victor expects already. And leading miles inside the danger.. or death even, would only speak lowly of you and me mark. Better is, if miles joins in later on himself. By noticing whats going down. Sadly, iam not sure if the other groups will help us. At one point, they may share our view. But if... then tubbs huge group would be on vics side. Or they completly stay out, not wanting to be included in the hatred and trouble. Or only partially high ranks are send out. All we can do is act now and hope for the best... lastly the one with the bigger and stronger troups will win... i hate to say it like that, but i know from experience.... without back up, we trunkovs got zero chance against the hugos. They are more. They have more trained members. And they are way more riskfull...its like the ukraine being attacked by russia, mark. And we dont even know when exactly they attack. It sounds like a horror movie... but remember mark, you arent alone. We get this done together and you wont have anything to fear. Iam a trunkov and will stand for us only. i promise you that. Alright? You yourself do enough now already." So confident she ended her words and nods assuringly. While reaching to give his tire light kick. It didnt took her long to see that he struggled to start and janice chuckled a bit "hey~ atleast let us work together on this. I would star with "Dear Boss, Vladimir Trunkov.... hmm then get straight to the point. Hes busy and it will make you also more believeable ...
I sadly have come to the information that the hugos planned a revengeful attack on us. Ending the war that stands between us. Being a new member, i wanna be a saving secure for our group and warn you seriously. I know for a fact that this isnt a false alarm and would appreciate an alert mode..." janice stopped and watched him "sounds ok? If you really delight, you can obviously change it up a bit either.

Victor was aware that he had to fill the hole in work that now was created. But even if it hurt him himself to give up such a strong and faithful worker, the same he doesmt wanna loose ivans abilitys. So its needed and victor hopes that ivan will finally settle his mind to what really matters in vics eyes only. Else, victor will need to go through a long and hard process to find a good exchange for ivan. If nothing changes, victor sees it as the needed last step. But he gives ivan time. While that will be, its true that alexs duties will go higher in the following days. Victor knows, since alex caused it himself in a way, that he will be ready to take that extra work. But it required some planning yet. So for the lead tomorrow, victor temporarily has to set in another high rank on rank 2.
"Do that, and then catch sleep yourself. Tomorrow will be an important day and you need all performance that you can get outta yourselfs. Breakfast will be at 5 and 6 btw. We need to be early ready. So please use the sleep now without wasting it anylonger." Victor watched them closing the door. Making him think back how ivan closed it. He grumbled bc that was disrespectful. Victor hit the table and casually moved his trunk back to his big bed. Taking it up greatly.
The door made its closing sound and alex gave a growl himself shortly "atleast all went round and well. I tell you. Its better we did that now. Thank you max" he looked questioning at his bro but saw that affected look himself. Slowly he pushed max "let us get moving before you get to words. You heard him, we shouldnt waste time. Better do both things in one." So they drove and alex awaited max's words to it. But the many weapon ivan had, were beside that pretty heavy! How many ivan even has was a surprise all by itself. He was like a dangerous bomb almost. And it made the scene were he packed out one weapon after another almost more insane in a way But eventually they made their way straight to the garage. Without any interruption luckily but you just felt that the atmosphere on this territory changed.

Janice took the paper with a nice smirk, clenching it in her tire where she also hides the pregnancy test. It didnt took long for her to be sucked into the story of mark. And watched his moves while he talked out the past of his. It drove janice to get more comfortable herself and in surprise she actually needed to find some words at first. She was in total disbeliev that he actually lived on the edge of suicide and still went fighting for making his life better. There was small similiaritie with him living on the street to herself. But else. Janice actually respect mark highly bc he definitly had it harder then herself. Many lemons did actually. But hearing it once more from a friend now. And in the moment she is in.. it made her even more thankful herself to be his friend and to be in the trunkovs group. Maybe it was important for her to hear this story, innerly she was sure that it was. Slowly she rose up.
"Mark... first off, i really wanna thank you for trusting this on me. I can see that it probably wasnt easy at all. Mostly not with these other cars unnecessarily making your life harder. I seriously see no reason for that at a place that should be a second home. Didnt that got controlled somehow? Well.. however. I myself know how it feels to crawl through cold streets, hungering and being rejected... but in a different way bc i didnt look for work. This rejection and rudeness of them was awful and actually disgusts me everytime i hear it. Its not a secret how hard we lemons have it in getting acceptance in the world. But for that... you have us. And i really didnt saw at all that arsen was the one leading you to this place. I really didnt notice that mark! I didnt even consider it. The more i will see him with higher respect now. Its the trunkovs being your family. And me being your friend. And iam happy i actually can call you that aswell. You wont ever have to return to that place. And you wont have to die mark. Come. Give me a smirk. Bc i know that now we can try changing things. And maybe, just maybe. It wont even come so far. Let us stand for the trunkovs. Without a tear alright?" Janice smirked confident and bold. She actually wanted to strengthen him a bit more. Just take his worries. Or else she doubts that he will even sleep a second tonight with fears of dying. That definitly would be awful. So janice hoped she actually can make it better for him. Eventhough innerly janice was afraid too... really much actually but also about ivan. Janice really saw it escalating in hr roof and it left a foul aftertaste. "Alright. To settle our safety. I fast will slip it under vlads office door and return back here... say. Do you mind if i rest here? Your room seems really comfy. And i dont feel so... home with my new room yet. I think we both could use some company?"
After more words. She already moved towards the door, because she better gets this done asap. In the end, there was really no knowledge on when exactly the hugos will attack. It even made you looked in fear behind you. Fearing that it could just star right now. Eventually the paper was slipped under vlads door and janixe left as fast as she could. Which was a good decision, confused vlad opened the door. But closed it again as there was noone to see. In the letter... vlad immediatly widened his eyes.
Could it be real. Of course vlad wont ignore this request. But it sounds insane. Vlad decided to not open up a loud and obvious alert mode. And go for a silent one. Which gets talken out privately in his office between him... the high ranks and all mentors. Knowing victor, every signal can be taken as advantage in the end.*
--------
Alex pondered so much here. It was still, even if it was the right step, not clear if ivan will leanr anything from that. The fact that it can end up worse didn leave alex's mind so he couldnt set off that serious glance in state. Rather he listened to his bros excuse and responded with quite an serious tone in the back of his voice
"Hmm how they behaved back then already. As you expressed your interest to her while ivan was present. That already showed a protective stance of him towards her. But i believe you, its not so fast obvious that he actually sees her as daughter. I dont understand whats so valuable in seeing her as such anyway. When in the end, she even disrespects his orders. Its as if hes blind. No wonder you thought also that he has an interest in her. It really appears so to outside cars. And only lowers his reputation more. If he will reveal his fatherness about her. That be the death of his authoritie. Lets see what fate he chooses. But its nice you try to make it seem less bad max. Thank you. I believe that this broken status between eachother can only be fixed if he gives up on her. And i doubt that ever happens. But its his decision and his life. So it may not even matter to you max, and me some day. And we will forget about it faster then we think. Till then, we gotta keep an eye on them. Mostly tomorrow. And if he betrays us. I wont hesitate to report it. Enough demolition of words now." As he said demolition. He opened the garage door and placed down the weapons. That was a bit loud but didnt took them too long till he could close it hardly again and shake dust off his tires. "Let us get your new laptop now. I dont wanna have given your question a backup for nothing~ also I will need mine tomorrow morning for futher infos of victor. And you... dont be so long at your laptop for adjusting. Alright? Well your decision, but i would do that tomorrow." Alex chuckled mockingly. Almost like presenting max as a bit irresponsible but that wasnt serious of course. They fast entered the store and only received a glare. Actually they had luck that he just was back to get some utensils fast. He didnt want to sell anything right now. But he had to sadly. Since it was a required object of an high rank. With an scoff they kinda got thrown outta the store almost. But max had enough time to choose the model he likes.

Mark slowly began to smile after Janices encouraging speech and her concern and care about him made him believe that Janice is a true Trunkov and the family he always wanted to have. He looked back at her and put his tire on hers " Janice, thank you.. I feel better now. Sorry if I get emotional too fast. I would like to know more about how you appeared here, just if you are okay with it to tell me. I would appreciate it and of course if you want to stay here it's all good. I kind of wanted you to offer it, I'll feel much better with you." He returned his wheel back and raised himself giving Janice a nudge " Okay go, I'm happy you asked me for help. This is also a reason which making me feel better to know that you can count on me"
When Janice left him alone he began to prepare couch as sleeping place for Janice. His bed wasn't far from it and stood along the side wall of the room. He used a spare to cover the couch and put one of the blankets on her place. She would have couple cushions too. He laid on his bed and covered himself with a blanket waiting for her returning.
-------
Janice was driving back to Marks room after she quickly checked on her one to grab some stuff with her to Mark. It mostly was quiet but Janice tried to avoid the contacts. It would be better if no one would notice you. She heard sound of an engine somewhere behind and swore under her breath as she heard a voice calling her. Very similar. " Janice !" Acer said it so loud that it's echoed and Janice had to stop and turn herself. Acer drove closer to her and looked worried but yet somehow you could see his annoyance " What's going on? Why is there a random man in your room instead of you ? Why didn't you tell me that you're leaving the rig for so long ? I searched for you like a fool till Trunkovs told me you're away. You supposed to spend much more time with me and Grem..And.. That's so odd I could only hear about you from others recently ! And not even nice things. I dont really wanna stay here for too long but can you explain to me what's going on ?" He looked at her confused and saw she had a bag of cookies in her tires. His eyes narrowed in distrust and confusion.
--------
Personally Max didnt really care what Ivan will chose. He only was curious to see how he acted because here he wouldn't see this behaviour against the boss everyday. He just wanted to hope it won't affect Alex too much but it seemed he was ready to deal with it.
In the store Max didnt expect to have problems with Conelian and still saw this displeasure on his face and annoyance. Max knew this is going to be another thing he will take to care about after the day. Just that he wasn't sure if everything going to work so fast and return quick to the work. But maybe he thought like that just bc he didn't know all the plans of Victor.
Wether he tried not to pay attention at Conelians moves and words and just did what they came for. Picked up a new laptop.
They brought it in Maxs room and Alex had his laptop back. He opened his one on his hood quickly checking on the programs and notifications " I will give you a usb later so you can have all the information you need on your laptop and connection with the others. Easy like that." He closed his laptop then and Max yawned " I wasn't really going to check anything today. I don't feel like a can stay awake for too long. I didn't sleep too much last night. However, Vicror sent me for customization so it's what I will take care about before I can hit the bed and relax. If you want you can go sleep, I think I can handle it myself, if there nothing you should tell me "

Janice couldnt stop to smile lightly in her mind about this as she drove. Even if she felt cautios. She was glad that she had brought mark a better feeling. She really set effort in her words and it didnt leave unnoticed. She was then excited for the little sleepover aswell eventhough talking about her own story was a bit unsuiting in her eyes when she compares it to marks. But that isnt a competition. This is about trust and convo. And nothing else. The more janice winced as acer got her in that moment. Now he! He was the last one she expected today... and kinda... she kinda hoped that it will get lost. That acer doesnt wanna talk to her. It would have made it so much easier... then hurt him once more with having cheated on him... but this time. She atleast decided to not give him wrong hopes with her anymore. But she didnt feel ready to end it now at all. She had to many other things in mind. Lightly backing up, she signalized it to him already. In hopes he may lay off a bit.
"Ohhh acer heh... i hope you two are doing good? sorry... recently my life was just going so up and down... and well i didnt really had the time for anything. I was in the ukraine... the back with vlads friend. Thats the one in my room. And well... then the meeting was there today and i finally did smth right... well right in a way. Perspective thing. And to be honest... i kinda dont feel ready to go in depths with you about it... i just... i just. Acer... ok listen up... remember the time i was part of the hugos... i-i dont wanna hurt you but back then i may should have ended it already. I just dont think that iam ready for a relationship or shouldnt even have one and its been proofen to me multiple times recently. I hate to say it acer; but i dont think that i can be your... fiance." Janice slowly took the secret marking he gave her. She approached and layed it back into his tires. Her eyes looked sorry. But in all honesty. She just didnt expect that it had to be now! And that in a hall... she decided to spare him with the details. Or else she will only hurt him more... if he didnt knew already. In the end, it spread like wildfire. She remained in her position for a moment... before backing off... why did it feel so wrong. Unproper and foul. She couldnt explain that to herself.

Indeed alex was dealing ok with it. Innerly it obviously busyed his mind but he was way more busy with other things. One of which being max. And that was enough to take focus already. Alex gave an long yawn rubbed his side panel shortly. "To be honest. I think i will take your offer for once and take the extra minutes of sleep. Its been a long day and i will wake even earlier then you do. So it be the wisest for me to sleep earlier then aswell. I wish you much success on the repainting and designing. And remember. Keep an eye open that they do their job properly. They tend to mess with new members sometimes for example. Just for the fun. But as high rank you certainly shouldnt have much to worry. Well then" he gave max two friendly slaps at his sides and picked up his own laptop "good night comrade and see you tomorrow. Ready stanced for fighting." Alex left the room of max and it was silent for a second. Max could only hear the fire and the ocean rn. But you just got so used to it after a while, that it was relaxing and you didnt miss the sound of birds much. This was just as loud as birds would be so its kinda the same to the mind soon. Max left the room... and the halls werent busy. Nightwork of course but you would expect to see more workers. Seemingly everyone was taking as much sleep as they could... well almost everyone. As max passed by. You could see that many night shofts actually got cancelled for tonight or "pushed" forward to the morning. Many things you could take from this but definitly every member was getting the chance to prepare. So max had to be fast also. Because else he be too late for his modification. Just in time max could entee the garage and all the 4 hugos turned around giving him an odd look. "Max? We heard you will come. You are a bit late but not too late. Take place on the plattform. We get to you just in a minute." Max could see one hugo... who looked really damn serious. Putting covers over max's windows. Tires, lights. And in max's mouth he put a cotton filter. So if max accidentally breaths in, it wont be too dramatic. All seemed good. But the last time max got painted and actually remembers it was kinda long ago already aswell. The hugos got out the sanding mashine and discussed the pressure by max's metal quality. And luckily even thaz got done carefully. It hurt only a bit with many little stings but was bareable (like getting a tattoo kinda. Just that this is the paint removal) once that was done, they whiped the dust a bit off from max. And it almost felt like a massage on naked metal... that was when max saw them fill up the paint to get to whats serious. "Would you close your eyes and mouth please. The mouth as best as you can but the eyes HAVE to stay closed. Understood?" This hugo had a really raspy old voice but it made him seem professional in what hes doing and after all the years, he kinda was. Slowly they guided the paint over max's metal and it layed on well. Covering him in shimmering midnight black that almost sparkled in that light of the garage. The cool feeling of it as it hit the hood was teasing to open the eyes but max held the rules and kept them close. As it touched the lips, it felt even cooler. Yet soon his whole body was painted black except all necessary parts that had to be covered. (Also back lights and the mirrors.) Max suddenly felt how they polished his tire caps. That startled him as it was all four at the same time. And once they were done. Max still didnt got the yes to open his eyes. Slowly... covered in a towels of finest pearl silk. They slowly important marks on the working table. They slipped off the top part of the silk and shimmering metal waited there to be attached. All new made. A hugo symbol, that they put on max's front hood part. They didnt want it to be like the trunkovs solved it and it needed to be very similiar to other hugos. Then there was victors name in silver lettering that came to the left rear side. And also the rank number that came on the right rear side. With that it was fulfilled. They removed all covers "you are done max hugo. We hope that new design is catching your eye and also. Before you look in the mirror. Pls set on these contactlenses. As high rank, its a requirement to wear them." They handed max a whole box full with them. So he has enough for long. "And lastly. Dont do anything rapid tonight. But tomorrow you should be all ready for the war and work."

The more janice heard acers voice, the more it reminded her back to the time where he figured her affair with victor. It was strange seeing him almost cry. Eventhough he covered it greatly... and now as being his fiance. And actually breaking up with him! It probably must hurt so much harder. It comes out of the blue. And the longer janice has to talk to him... the more she felt sorry, feeling like needing to retreat... but she knew, its the best for them both if she doesnt and settles this. Janice slowly stopped beside a door to the internet connections of the high ranks and vlad. Janice opened it and fast pulled the lime with her into that small dark thing of a room. Where only some little lights shone from the devices. Janice brightens up the room with her headlights. Seeing how the light reflects at so many places. "Limedrageè, of course i still feel smth for you. I really do. Its not like in the past where i first had to give you a chance. No, i do truly feels something for you. But its not enough... its hard to explain it acer. But i dont love you the way i would like to. You have given me so much nice times and i honestly felt butterflys when becoming your fiance. But it was innerly but hiddenly always clear... that i dont love you in that way that i could imagen being bound with you... you committed yourself so long term and loyally to me... and i know you really love. somebody will love you like you derseve but somebody isnt me..." janice said that really softly. But she knew it prolly hurt anyways. "I dont wanna leave you in the dark. But yes... i did had it with vic once more. But he forced me this time. I didnt got out eventhough i fought and struggled. And even clearly said it to him. With the meeting today, this luckily got settled. He got punished. Hates me now. But finally theres a line a stop!... beside that... i had another man to which i prolly felt what you feel to me... but we both knew... or mostly him and vlad. That it just shouldnt work and shouldnt be. So he broke up with me. Iam a loner rn... and to be honest. I kinda wanna leave it like that. No troubles. And a way to build up my life again. It isnt allowed here anyway... i made that decision for long already, so its well thoughtout acer. and maybe love like that isnt really for me. I will appreciate a time of single being, committ to my group and focus on making my dad proud... And how long i wanna stand like that is written in the stars. 3 years. Or 20 years. Or forever. I really dont know. But am certain that i should do that and probably it also is better for you... iam sorry acer. I really am mein schatz...
------
The hugos actually made some photos of the result and wrote down a report paper for victor about it. So everything is noted gapless. But they themself looked at max in surprise. Almost totally. Norm was that they do their work and get paid by vic. Maybe even meet unpolite cars that ranked up. But max totally jumped outta the norm while still holding up to not be too much away from being a true hugo. It was a nice thing "we wish you a good time and success with your look. Thanks for that kind symbol of appreciation. We will use it" with that max had the moment of leaving.

Janice actually felt how she got tears herself once more. She was surprised that she actually could still have tears after boris breaking up with her. Gently janice lowerd towards the ground. Ashamed was a high words for herself in her mind here and she couldnt face him like that.
"I think victor did, limedragèe... i think he truly did it. But listen up... yes i got hurt in many ways, yet i dont have another man. As i said, he broke up with me and wont be here soon anyway. You may can say that partially i do just search the reason. But thats bc i also do feel not ready for relationships at the moment. And i rather would like not to force one upon myself. Still it hurts me too, to have ended it like that. Its about me... bc i know that you showed much effort. So much love! I know that you would be such a great husband. Someone who i could trust for my whole life. But its as i said... iam not ready sadly. And i would like some rest mostly after all the things i lost in recent days. Fact is, I need to get my own life in order, before i also can care about someone else in such a way. Maybe some day i will be ready again. But i dont want you to break your heart n head over this forever, or give you wrong hopes. If our way meets together again one day... that be great too. But for now, it just isnt ideal acer... i hope you can understand me alittle atleast. Bc i can understand you, that i probably just destroyed a part of your world... iam sorry" janice closed her eyes and let an tear roll down. She slowly drove to the door and set her tire on its handle "you would never stop me acer, dont worry... but i do thank you for your nice end words. That means alot to me, just like you do mean alot to me still. i wont ever forget the times we spend acer. I really wont... They are in my heart eternally. And forever i will be thankful to you. Forever." Janice sensed that she probably came of as a stranger to him. And somehow, she herself felt like a stranger here. She just hoped that somehow he can handle this. Least thing she wants, is to hurt him for months over. For that... she still cared too much about him. All she wants. Is that this pacer somehow can stay happy... yet she doesnt give the best help for that here.

His last words actually hurt her so hard... she actually felt that for minutes ongoing. She felt sick in her stomach. She didnt wanted to let it seem like that. She wanted to appear caring to him. But she knew she isnt the best in that... mostly not in such a situation. But what she realized... that she didnt just lost a partner but also a friend. Two friends. It was clear that both grem and acer never wanna have anything to do with her anymore. And that hurt. It hurt real. For a second janice only felt even more lonely. And like a horrible car. She knew she couldnt hold the relationship up forcingly... not even boris's eventhough he wanted to stay... But why did the break up here, felt as if she also did smth hardly wrong. Its too late now anyway. Janice knew that despite her hopes... she hurt acer so hard innerly and she herself wouldnt forgive her if she was him. She hoped he atleast believes to find someone more fitting. Janice herself...also felt a bit worse then victor rn. As if she unintentionally treated acer just the same like vic would. And now she even gets remembered in a bad way by another car. The only thing she wishes... would be to be remembered sweetly by some. For who she innerly is and not appears to be. Slowly janice opens the door to marks room. Luckily you didnt saw the sadness too hard by that low light of the lava lamps. It reliefed her somewhat. Janice put down the cookies and crashed on the sleeping place. She traced her tire slowly over it... and its softness made her remember that she isnt that lonely. Not rn. And she really was glad to have mark here. At her side when she needs him even more now... to distract and feel better but also support him on this scary time. "Ohh iam sorry i took so long. But i needed to bring us some little sugary energy. Else this sleepover wont be perfect. I see you prepared a sleeping place for me. T-thats so nice and generous. Thank you so much" janice heartfully held her side slightly. She may appeared a bit too thankful. But its exactly what she needed rn. "Thanks. I hope you werent bored while i was gone? I remember your question still about some of my past but am not too sure here. Let us take a cookie first ok?" janice stretched strongly and rolled herself into a blanket amused. To stay more warm. "Hey... say. Theres smth i wondered about... have you ever been in love? I mean, after my stress with vic its prolly clear that this question comes. I just would like to know how newcomers like you receive the rule" janice didnt hint anything about what just happened or what sat on her heart. She didnt want him to ask her and make it worse. So she asked a real normal question that she did wonder about though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Janice took three cookies in her tire, so she didnt had to move so much and be a bit lazy. And damn... after the tears, how sweet and nice sugar suddenly could feel. Hungrily janice bit into the next one already as mark told his love broken story. And janice actually lowered her hood as she noticed another kind of break up here. She related alittle with karina but just alittle because she found that patience of mark actually remarkable.
"Seemingly we do so. I guess the cookies and tomorrow just get you in the mood to distract the best you can. Iam glad and thank you for sharing this story of yours. So luckily the rule didnt really affect you so much? Doesnt mean that the story outside is any less bad. Even if you maybe were a bit fast for her, or not her type... you atleast seemed to be patient. And thats golden to me. Idk why she reacted like that though... could it be that maybe she just couldnt see you as anythin else then a friend? If you two were long together, Maybe so. But iam glad you see it the right way... first relationships just dont go so well. I just would have hoped that she would told you whats up atleast... question is, did you actually wanted to have an explanation and more details or are you completly ok with how it went? I myself would have liked to know the reasoning atleast. But hey. Hood up, once we get the lemon rights, it prolly be way easier anyway for you to be in a PEACEFUL relationship. And iam sure thats what you desire? Instead of living in the rejection and hate that you sadly had to experience already." Janice smirked caringly and took some more cookies. Leaning more backwards to signalize that shes tired. "Oh that. Its actually making sense that you ask this. It almost sounds insane in the end. Mostly after recent events. I did love victor. Well i used to, but iam till this day not sure if it was just love... or love mixed with admiration and praising of his. I was afraid of him at first and he lured me into joining him. Making it seem like things get great for me. There i thanked him with a song. And eventhough i burned it... i obviously cant forget his reaction. Asking me why iam so nervous. And how he kissed me. Right away it was passion. And he literally snitched my heart. From that day on, i actually slept often in his office and even did all i could to impress him. To be the "mature", "riskfull and passionate" women he desires so much. I even treated my dearest ones like shit. But never he said the words "i love you" rather he only answered the love question to me with a kiss or a f- you know what i mean. And vlad eventually opened my eyes. Yet still smth dragged me to him. I easily can get weak by him. That he doesnt "like" me anymore is ideal bc of that. I wont say that all was bad about vic. He did stand for me and protected me from the outside harm and influences. Take that as you want... but i felt safe. I actually had a date with him. And i tell you. He looked so fine with bowtie... i love bowties and also glasses even more hehe... he was the most kindest; posh, mysterious and interesting man ever that evening. I even painted him there. It was one of my two most beautiful dates. I did eventually feel some love coming from his side. But just there. Next day it faded already like it was nothing. Except his strong perfume. That never fades till today. If you ever were near vic, i think you noticed his strong hugoboss perfume right away." Janice chuckled a bit embaressed "i got beaten by vic not just once eventually and kinda felt that i was just his puppet or rather property. Iam glad to be free today. And single. Just recently i ponder if its truly the best? So mark, Say... do you actually agree that its best for me to focus on fixing my life, focus on the group and ivan rn. I mean its not allowed anyway and i dont feel ready." Janice decided to let him talk first. Before considering to maybe give a piece of her past.

Janice only looked a bit silent to the side before giving mark her gaze again. "You know, iam glad you finally could forget the things with karina. But here its a bypass. Because i would like to aswell with victor. But wouldnt i appear as the lyier if i would say that everything was shit? I mean. I can admit that we did used to have good times which are over obviously. And i also want to believe that all my memories werent just awful things? I wanna feel that i had good things. So, i didnt want to appear obsessive again. But i think you understand what i mean? Maybe deep in me theres still a spark, and thats what i gotta work on now. Mainly that love doesnt distract me ever here anymore. It makes sense that this is only food for all the rumors. I guess i got no choice and have to only mention the bad things? Sometimes cars like jack prolly dont see it the way i do and i gotta work with that." Janice breathed out heavily "iam glad you agreed to my question though. That calms me. The trunkovs and ivan is all i wanna focus on anyway. I just wanted to hear another ones words. That can mean alot, you know? And assures me that i do it right this time. So thank you much mark. Also for still being on my side." It actually made janice happy and at the same time worriesome...disappointed. So... did mark take this good? Or should she rather have shut her mouth? Janice wasnt sure. But she wanted to trust mark. Mostly now. "However uhm, Well but i do gotta admit. I rather am a bit afraid of how far the rumors will go. Its not visible yet. Lets just hope the situation will calm alittle. And if not... well then iam the dishonored guilty car. But thats alright bc i still do my part and job. The things that really matter. Like our talk bc yes, i think we should switch topics or we make it worse." Janice chuckled and noticed his empty cacao. Maybe she shouldnt hold him awake so long. But she gotta admit... she is very very curious who actually spread it around first. Eventhogh she cant do much with that info, it still would be interesting. Slowly janice stretched a last time and closed her eyes already
"You know, i think we should go sleep soon. I wanted to tell you some more of my past but i gotta admit. It isnt as easy for me as it is for you. I may will do that at a fitting time. When we also dont have a war infront of us. Is that a deal? But i can tease you, that i did life on the streets for a while too. In contrast that i was rich before. I give you a hint, my parents changed germany. With that i let you work now." Janice chuckled meanly. Before snuggling more in the warmth. "Goodnight mark. Let the lava lamps give us a nice night."

"I tell you... iam exhausted as hell. It just crashed me hehe. Thank you alot mark, and dont worry. I will wish you goodluck then aswell instead of just goodnight." Janice yawned strongly. Slowly shutting her mouth then again. It was a really nice and comfortable sleeping place. And janice felt now even more, that this company did good for her. She felt safer. Soon in her sleep, her body and tires made the couch really untidy but she was covered completly and spread all across comfortably. She slept with a smirk between all the fluffyness. It granted her mind and body some calmness and she felt how soon she was sorrounded by some fresh winds. Janice blinked a bit before she could focus. She oddly was in her old room. Slowly she looked around but it was too dark to see much and her headlights didnt work at all. She didnt even really think about those. Rather she moved her rear up to move outta the room. The doors were almost nod visible but janice heard jibberish and saw silhouttes of cars ever second. They gossiped about her. But janice still smiles. Of course those things hurt her... but it was as if she didnt really recognized them eventhough it were trunkovs. But rather she knew she had a nice place to go to. The kitchen. But not for what you expect. Nobody was in there. Not even mark and vadim... the only one there was ivan. But he looked alot bigger and even more intimidating. Janice drove fast towards him into a hugo. He tightly held her, letting her remain in the position. Before pushing her away meanly, making janice chuckle. "Hey i wasnt done yet. How you dare!" He hardly scruffled her hood. Already gazing away "bc i wanna use the time we have. I cant be seen doing such overly "adorable" requests of you. So stop and rather help me." Janice blinked and began to giggle. She grabbed alot of ingredients and just outta fun, ivan cracked one egg lightly open at her metal "hey! I told you to stop that." Janice whiped her tires over the flour covered table into his direction. Leaving a mess above them both. "Alright fine! Now we gotta clean this all poppet. Sometimes-" he just rolled his eyes. They both made a really heavily vanilla flavoured dough and janice hit the dough alittle in the making process, to express some strength. As it baked, she decided to clean the mess herself, while he read on from the ingredients. That was when the fun part came. They cut the ready dough into layers and put alot of blueberry/strawberry buttercream in the middle. Lastly they sorrounded the first cake part with vanilla buttercream. Then the middle with blueberry and the ground with strawberry. Making a real sweet russia cake. Janice put a candle on it and then grinned. "That should be perfect to fathers day. But iam not done yet. The remain decoration will be just by me. So get your trunk out big tow!" Janice wiggled a russian vocabulary book and a sheet of learning russian letters in her tires. She wanted to make it in that language. She just hope to not mess up. She slowly woke up then. But really softly by drifiting slowly back to really. Janice yawned loudly and stretched her stiff body. Seeing that mark didnt lie. He was gone already. Janice decided to turn of the electricitys in his room and take another cookie before she left. She did feel uncomfortabl in some ways, driving here. Bc at some point, she knew she was she was negative topic number 1 in her own group. The first after a long time. But janice tried to ignore it as well as she could. Just driving to the canteen and before working, rather grab some food. This time, it may still tasted amazingly. But she didnt really feel that family with it anymore. It was just really delicious food. But it was ok for janice. Bc she highly appreciated what she got. And that already meant much to her. She drank a nice kwass and only had a short path to work. She actually could get used to that, she thought amussingly to herself. As she knocked at michaels door to get some order for today. Janice may hasnt looked outside. But vlad did silently pass on the alert mode. Even michael knew and bc of that held the kitchen door locked once janice was in. Outside, the early patroulling was on a higher number. And overall, vlad had set on protective procedures. Even cancelling some raids, so more members are there today to help eventhough he hated the risk he puts them in... whats strange; is that he tried to reach out to victor normally. Not mentioning the war, just business... and victor answered every mail completly normal like he usually would...
-------
It was an unbelievable sight for many members. Mostly those who thought that max again is just another mascot for the hugos. But no. His serious redesign proofed the amount of respect that victor wanted them to give to max. And that held on. Just that it caused disbeliev aswell in some. It caused some rumors. Not necessarily negative ones, but the hugos overall wondered what will happen now. And mostly... the hugos also prepared for the fight beforetire... may it be as prepared as you could be.
In alex's room, the smells were already really pleasingly. And max could notice that alex reallygave luxury to himself when he has the time to cook. But it definitly wasnt the job for him obviously. Just a private matter. However, alex couldnt stop the chuckle at max's behavior and shortly looked outta the kitchen. "Ohh better shut your mouth. Iam still above you. I see you seemingly enjoy your new representative design. No wonder, the hugos will definitly have looked different at you. Just better watch your attitude bro." Alex chuckled evilly and slides back to the kitchen. Serving the food on different plates and putting them on the table. And man, the variety made you drool. Alex had a coffee fir himself and amusingly watched max's reaction.
There was scrambled eggs and fried, big mushrooms. Little Mortadella cheese balls. Chicken breast with a piece of pineapple on it and overbacked with cheese. Theres also onenjust with cheese; if max may not like it. Next up some cooked porkpieces and backed baguette; already cutted. There are some nice fresh sauces, mainly mayonnese and a spicy onion sauce, Prolly his own recipe. Theres a dill cucumber salad and that was it. Only a pack of condensed milk cookies was there, that he obviously didnt make himself. He amusingly sipped the coffee "yes i like my breakfast meaty. Very meaty. And with cheese. Enjoy bro and better pay me back properly with the burgers asap. But we got a reason to celebrate now, victors advantage plan set in succesfully, so we are ready for today. On us hugos~" alex rose his coffee cup.

(Seriously sis, i had tears too! I fully agree you! I miss their love so much either and i cant even wrap it into words. How boris is processing this, is what mostly breaks my heart. How he listened to that song of love and suddenly only had a bed that seemed so big... bc it was empty. Being all alone when thinking everything was just a dream. Sis, this really was like a double cut for him :"( in praise i actually wanna express my feeling and vent them, by making a boris plush too... though the begin already makes me sad, considering that a janice plush would make him tear into it, and hug it broken heartingly..... like janice would with a boris plush)
-------
Vadim blinked a few times and set his tire down perplex. Tilting forward to look how serious mark is, and still. No change. Mark was more believable than ever. And vadim himself knew that this will be a deadly danger. "Yes i did saw that. It concerned me already. Because the chef didnt look usual, just like you here rn, infront of me. But what does that all have to do with janice ?! You know in what situation that could bring you. I dont mind if we both hang out with her. But her alone with you... sleeping in your room. Best would be if that stays under only our knowing. Alright?" Vadim turned around and looked at the wall serious for a second. The massive controlling and observation made all sense now....
-------
Janice tried her best to look surprised and worried. Of course she was worried anyway. But every second she thought about the war... smth else came up in her mind. What will be with boris? Why cant i be with him now.
I wanna protect him...
Janice knew she probably wasnt even allowed to be near him really. But it teared at her. She didnt want to just let him experience this without someone at his side that loves him like she does. A bit distracted, janice looked into michaels eyes. Pushing the paper back to him
"This topic... i honestly am scared. Iam real honest. But its regarding everyone of us. And i wanna give all power i can, to bring support and help to our group. I wont let the trunkovs go through another suffering. Mostly not that. so that means michael, i stay and help. Its the least i can do before anything even has happened. I just hope that we are safe for real for starters. Thank you much that you did sign... but i should get right to work. You can count on me as worker... so, May this day be good to us." Janice right away left and saw that the kitchen is a bit more full with pots and food. And more hectic. No wonder, the number of present trunkovs is way higher then usual. And everyone needs energy for the potential danger. Janice looked around... but she was clearly a bit distracted. That smell of the food... it reminds her of the restaurant she was at with boris... so nice. That was when janice realized... she will have a hard time to work today. She just cant get him outta her roof. She still loves him with her whole heart. And she wished she could just hold him... and stroke him, just be there for him. And show him how much she loves him. She really misses him... in that time, janice didnt found mark or vadim. And rather she lightly bumped against lev. "O-oh my bad. Iam sorry. I was just looking for mark or vadim? Dont let yourself get distracted"
-------
Alex chuckled and whiped his mouth strongly and fast with his tire, before just rolling his eyes.
"Me? A cook? Well i do gotta say my cooking has high skill levels. And victor did tell me that too once... like you say, it may be much but ideal for the day. I kinda cook for myself. Having a kitchen job is more a thing for the female side of the stream. I know we have mans here do it. I would consider having a side job as chef. But i guess i cant really come after that hobby, for that my work i got now is way too important. Oh well." Alex shrugged. He considered it his hobby but he had no perspective of ever doing more with that. "Now enjoy the food, let it fill your stomach and feel bad that your burgers dont get near that. Just kidding. I actually wanna prepare you to be proud of youeself today. Show your selfpride while being with trunkovs. The pride of being a hugo. Bc they definitly watch you. What your actual job is though, is not doing vlads duties, you still do, but vic has a side task for you. He wants you to watch the trunkovs. And you will see when the perfect time for attack arrives. Thats when you give me a message. On this phone..." *he hands it to max* " And while our troups reach the border, you sneak out at the secret backdoor to join us. A blitzkrieg similiar thing in a way. Just with the fast and offguard aspect in our tires.
-------
Vlad was heavily busy in the meantime. He didnt really sleep a minute. Eventhough he tried genuinly! Rather he filled papers and contacted through and through. Had his 10 contact phones on, to hear the reports of the patrouls and keep the hugo territory observed. Vlad already began communicating with tubbs and curby... he did message miles already, but victor even willingly was ready to visit miles for a personal talk just rn. As if he really is innocent... and can leave his territory easily. everything just took so much time. And tubbs refused potential support to vladimir. But luckily curby seemed to be ready. Vlad handled it well kinda. He just wanted to do it better for his loved family, and not risk as much lifes as on the big day. And that was when he decided to call boris. He needs another ear, another one who can help keeping the order set. But vlad felt with his friend. He knew that boris probably needed alot of processing time... but samely it was time that he gets to know why the trunkovs act so weird today. So vlad decided to ask boris for help. And tell him of the war.
(Ok 4 parts 0.o they will mix up to two luckily...hmm XD but i tried being short. It could have been way longer XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Janice wasnt so stupid and noticed the gazes and points his eyes were going sightly towards her. It kinda gave janice an bitter aftertaste from yesterday. She can imagen that boris probably would have liked seeing her being treaten like that... oh her angel. Lightly frowning, janice looked back the jack pushing himself into the scene. Which was uncomfortable all on its own already. But once janice finally got the chance to talk, right before he left. She decided to atleast use that chance.
"Its pronounced "fräulein". With an essential ä. But have a good morning from my side jack. Instead of fueling triggers. I think it be better if we all only focus on the food now. Its not as if am not fearing the war myself. I know we need everyones help, and i know that today can be potentially the death of anyone from us. So no, i will focus on the food." Janice nods with a nice gaze but once she and jack didnt saw eachother. She lightly pressured to the ground. It did hurt her in a way and frustrated. She doesnt wanna feel connected with vic and also responsible for this. But innerly she knew... in a way this all is her fault too... so... if boris would die. Would it be her own fault? Janice felt how her throat lightly blocked in fear. No. No that cant be happening! With light shuddering tires she eventually joined levs doings and gave an understanding nod. "Y-you know. I understood. Let us get focused. Am glad to watch over your tires. And learn from such fast tires." She smirked, she genuinly tried to compliment him politely and not too sugary. But besides that and her ongoing worrys of boris, she got more and more into the tunnel of working on this. And it switched the cutting board over and over again. slowly the salad filled itself higher and higher. Janice smirked at the tomatoes everytime noticably... and it was clear that she seemingly liked them the most. What janice loves is also tomato juice with pepper and salt. And she suddenly really gets the crave for it rn. sticking to working as eventually the whole bowls were filled over the top a bit! "Hey hey lev! I think we need new ones or we are done with this now?" It somehow was nice to help lev. It felt... that even if he smirked to jacks words, still gave her a chance to show her abilitys. And it didnt make her feel so helpless and hopeless for now. She hoped that she wasnt disappointing him. To herself the work actually seemed to be done fine? But she cant grade herself obviously. A bit unsureness was seen on her face.
---------
Alex leaned back himself, he didnt fear to let out some bad manners and burped lightly "excuse me for that. Whatever, i take every extra honor gratefully with me. Just dont look so down upon yourself. It might be normal that we have some selfdoubts, but be prepared that you have to seem confident to the others that arent your direct friends. Mostly towards the trunkovs. It may motivate you to hear, there was no car that was so sympathic to our boss like you are. Not even ivan got such a positive perspective on himself as fast as you did. I would call that your talent. Aswell as your sneaky little tricks. Now come. The cleaning is a kind of payoff aswell~" alex was glad that max had the idea himself already to help cleaning and it went faster like that. In the meantime, the remaining food got covered by alex and put into the fridge. He shook a blueberry oat drink and handed it to max. "I dont know what you will drink over there. But take your mountain sugar stuff and try smth proper like this. We dont need to support the trunkovs even futher by buying their things. Alright? It only would make you look bad. So. I hope you stick to your plan. I find you look not much like a spy but rather a strange alien creature. Which probably would be kinda real for being the only eclipse~. That should be acceptable as long as you keep succession. Keep your eyes open and dont talk to them about private matters. Maybe let me and victor know about their state over there. I did saw that more patrouls are there. I have a strange feeling here but their preparations sadly wont help them a single bit. We kinda have attacked already." Alex grinned evilly but shrugged woth his tires. He knew they got the upper tire. And it was real. But eventually he lead max till the border of the trunkov territory. "Alright bro. I set my hopes on you, watch them carefully. And soon enough they get their receed. Iam actually proud and determined here of you. Now. Wait here. Petrov was supposed to pick you up by current infos. See you bro..."
/////
It didnt took long till a trunkov slowly approached max... closer... even closer. Real close. He observed him silently looking to max's left and right before he eventually whistled. 3 other trunkovs joined in. Vlad was afraid that max may try to make a shooting attack from inside. So these trunkovs were supposed to knock max out once he seems to try it. It didnt took max long to know they were prolly even heavier armed as him. Their tires even had metal spikes... it almost really seemed as if vlad knew. "Hello member of the hugos. Stand more proper. This is more than just labour work. Its a punishment so i wanna see your full on respect atleast. Vladimir decided to let you full on clean the territory today under out supervision. That means... ALL. Every room where members accepted it (janice accepted that too btw, if someones comes to clean voluntarily that she lets that one, so it counts for both her and boris room). And yes, that includes the sanitary places. It would be only fair and get your hours from today away fast. Alright? Now go. Your boss already spits too much about wasting time. " petrov got touched by another high rank. Who shook his hood. Trying to signalize petrov to stay calm. What max fast realized. Over the whole work... they dont leave his side. He should get on this creatively... if its even needed anyway.
-------
Vladimir was glad to meet boris midway already. Like that he didnt had to leave his working place even longer. A bit exhausted vlad looked over his friend. Sadly, vlad knew boris really well and saw that smth was off and it definitly had to do with janice... what may be lucky for boris, that vlad totally forgot for noe about the test. He had other things in mind for. now. "Ahh the gaz i was looking for. Morning boris. I hope the morning has proofen itself as a bit better already. I can imagen that it wasnt fully splendid. Mostly not after yesterday. But maybe i can cheer you alittle... in a positve and negative way. For that, please follow me to my office. Alright?" Vlad held his tire out for boris as a motion to follow and together and knowing of direction, they both arrived fast at their destination, in which vlad directly guided boris to his desk. Handing him the paper of mark. "Iam sorry to put this all onto you so early. But i need to be fast and direct. After your breakup, this must be hard. But take it as that, its your chance to protect not just us but also janice for a last serious time. Iam sure thats in your interest and may help you alittle. So please dont panic and listen up. Apperantly we got trouble. The hugos plan a war but we have no timely details or any hints. They act totally normal. But just in case i send in an silent alert mode. We have more members here on board today. And overall i need to handle way more papers and directing today, i need to inform so many cars asap and cant leave the office myself. I would really appreciate your offered help. Can we as friend arrange that? While that is... i hope it may distract you. If you want, i got open ears while we work. Iam glad you seemingly did this step. But i wanna be there for you now, just like you were for me so often in our past years. I never forget." He put his tire on boris fender. Vlad looked deadly serious and stressefully exhausted in a way. Yet that tint of his care was always hearable in vlads voice so harmonically. He felt sorry in his heart still. But boris noticed by that gaze that it really must be about lifes here? So now what. Can he handle this stress rn... vlad knew that a no was possible too of course. But it wouldnt be safe and vlad was sure that boris knew that...

Janice may had her wprries about lev in the back of her mind but rn she saw that both her and him really only cared about making the food. And that was good. Janice watched carefully what he told her. Seitching off to be really vurious what he will do next. She gotta admit. His skills really made him be talented. Janice didnt discuss with him at all and just did what he told her. Taking the salads. Add the mayo like he showed her aswell as the spices. All in a jiffy. Only cover it... and done. Janice smirked and put them all on her hood. Abother day where shes happy that she modified it. With a normal corvette hood, she be struggling now. Janice drove towards the cooling room and put down the salad. It was the first time she saw that room. And all she saw, made her drool. So she remained for a second. It really was just better to leave! Else she misses time and would only get the idea to secretly eat smth here. Fast she closes the door and reappeared at levs side. "All handled well and done. You know what i would like to know? Whats actually your favorite food when you work here already. And may i be taught alittle in your cutting technique? I may not be as fast as you, or as good... but i see learning it be handy for our group. Iam ready to listen and watch attentively." She smirked alittle and really politely wanted to show her openness to learn. It was odd to her to not be cocky. At the same time she wondered... wait... has boris maybe eaten here today already? Maybe better he didnt saw her... she sighed... she misses his smile.

Petrov grunted and sharply stinged at max with his pure sight. "No he hasnt. But his signature isnt required anyway. Only two. Vlads and the big boss's. But no fret, our boss was just about to inform yours about your state of work." One of the high ranks pushed himself forward, more near max "now listen up hugo. Watch your tires move. Just bc you worl here, doesnt mean that we treat or introduce you here as if you are part of our family. No. For the time being, you are just working off the crime you did. And we cant leave you outta sight. Who knows what crazy ideas you get once more. Or if you do your work properly. Its sad that you hugos are drowned in selfpride." Petrov pushed the black hugo backwards. "Pshh. Watch your mouth T. Or you will get yourself under his level. And he decides to complain about being insulted. Now max. But i think you understood that you have to do this work. High rank or not. Its no kissing tires and vlad is right with his choose of punishment. Knowingly. This is just the start of whats waiting for you.... names petrov btw. The other names mustnt be important to you. Yet. We may change our view about that. Now, no more talking. Move your rear. Theres work to do." He guided max to the very top etage. The trunkovs drove all around him. To prevent max from leaving or going anywhere. One of the trunkovs pushed a whipe and a bucket of cleaning water to max. And even window cleaner.... that went good at first. But then petrov pointed to the first bathroom. And held more aggressive cleaners out for max. "You know. Be happy. Thats a secondary high rank toilet yet. Under is is another high rank one. Then a male and female. And after that come the low ranks." He began to grin meanly and the trunkovs chuckled about max alittle. This is more than degrading. Mostly how they pished the utensils to him disrespectfully. You could just sense there was a tension in them towards max.
-------
Vlad felt like boris just lightened the situation a bit for him. It felt better like this and blad knew he isnt alone. Its also smth to make this even better. As boris talked, vlad sighed and actually attached a gun to himself. In case of attack... vlad clearly wanted to join in on the battlefield! In worries of hindering boris focus. He decided to be all honest to him.
"I wont leave you in the dark today boris. I may not understand the hugos mindset but i know smth else. We need eachother to keep control in this. So yes, she is safe, shes working at a place actually more near you at certain times then you think. And shes also not working alone, she working under a boss thats under me in a way. So do not worry, i actually hope to soon get a report from him about her work. Besides that, am glad you mentioned her yourself. I almost forgot to ask, but it probably comes unsuiting now anyway. But what about the test? Do not worry my friend, hoods up. Shes counting on you too today. May yesterday have been hard, but today a chance for you. Now let us get to work." Vlad smirked and travelled with his tire over his desk. He fished out a pile of papers and handed them to boris. "Mainly these are all requests from trusted members here. I give you the task to decline or accept them, while i take care of the alert mode. Mainly just keep watch, after today i think you can accept about 20 free day requests. And everything food and drink related shall be ok aswell. I know that they dont ask for ultimative much. While you work, i interrupt you some couple times with papers. That you please fast bring over to their respective receivers." Vlad nodded and began to read his papers. He still had an ear open for boris. But it was visible how fast his eyes glided over the paper, same as his writing tire. As if he may be a lemon, but is a formel 1 in that. Better question is hoe he manages to keep grammar so correct and good! It didnt took time till he pushed 5 papers forward. "Ok. Take the back door stairs. They are safer if something may happen. I dont want you to accidentally be blown up by a secret bomb or mine. We sadly have one of the hugos on our territory rn. And i dont trust him a single bit. Be cautios. Outside are front patrols near the hugo border. They shall receive these papers. Alright?" How vladimir said this. He said it serious but somewhat casual. Yet what he said, could actually fuel you with fear. That death awaits around any possible corner... thats bot what vlad wants to cause. But je didnt want boris to just happily jump through the halls and rather really be carefull.

Janice chuckled before slowly observing the knive, tracing it a bit. "Alright. Now that really is a delicious dish. I hope after that, it may come soon again for you. I focus back on work then." Janice noticed that he was totally wanting to focus on work. But besides learning... even if she is slow, she hoped to bring the progress somewhat faster. By levs direction she slowly made the circular movements. It was hard to really do everything right and it took her quite long. But eventually she was satisfied with her result and put it in. Fast snatching another fish away from lev. This time. She was as slow. It may be sad. But she wasnt going to be faster with it anyway soon. She just wanted to do it right and it was harder then she thought to pay attention to it. But atleast they are a bit faster with her added help. Janice soon sniffed a bit. That nice smell of fresh fish. Salad. And the backed goods was just so wonderful. She really could get used to it.

Petrov instantly stopped laughing. The other did too. Except one who received a light but polite nudge by petrov. Slowly he scooted forward "dont you see. This is exactly it. I see it rather as prideless to not be a man and stand for what you messed up. Typical behavior. But a high rank should be able to do this. Iam being nice though and give you chances. Because sadly you can directly forget to leave. This here is your punishment, and you will have to take it! Eventually, you be punished even worse if you step back from this. So better pull yourself together. For your own good. Iam slowly loosing my patience either mister." He pushed the cleaning supplies back at max. They kicked at his metal roughly and fell on their side, rolling a bit. He was way too close to max soon. Stepping over the comfortzone "now. Did you understand me?" The trunkovs gazed at this and decided to take in an alert stance. One going up to petrov "calm down either... it wont help. He will realize that its his job rn*

Vlad was very happy woth boris work.
Any help is golden right now and he only chuckled... even if it was exhausted and weak. "I will get you your food. Now thank you, i myself hope that miles makes it real and will stop the hugos once and for all. They arent helping us lemons at all sadly. Eventhough i used to see them as close brothers. But i realized soon, they never saw us as smth equal. Now. Goodluck" vlad waved shortly and then called michael. Asking if he could send some pierogie over. Just let a random member do that and not get interrupted in your work was high privilegia. That easily got an yes. And vlad stood up. Stretching strongly. His body and axles became so stiff, it was as if he hasnt driven since years. But enough of that, he decided to make the tea fast. And faster then he could act, the door knocked for the pierogie. Vlad nicely put them on two plates and made a real caring serving ready for boris on his little second desk. While he took his own one onto his work desk. He gave another peak at janices pregnancy test before putting it away. He was glad about the result... it saved so much extra trouble. He didnt even consider that janice would trick boris too. It seemed unreal and insane. Yet it actually has happened.
The trunkovs talked silent and closely to boris. You could feel how focused they watched every little movement. But once a hugo looked, they mastered to seem casual in a way. " thank you boris. We are glad to have you as helping part in this." The trunkovs talking, bowed thankfully "at the current time. There isnt much to report. We only noticed that the territory seemed more empty. That can be taken as a little hint. One group of lowranks grinned dirty at us. Again, it mustnt mean anything or is a mockery for whats coming. So maybe tell vlad that vivid hints are there but currently we cant point it out. Honestly, i do hope that it really was just an false alarm. Then atleast. We all be safe. Be fast. But i hope you arent too negative upon your visit here now? We didnt want this to happen of course."

Janice watched satisfied how the work for now seemingly was done. It somehow nade her feel satisfied to have been a good help. It doesnt fill the gap in her but she atleast was seeming to do good. The more she was nervous to see michael. He may be nice and gentle in a way. But she knew he prolly is watching her. And she worried what perspectiv he has. In the end, her rep could easily make her mistakes only appear bigger when they actually arent. Slowly janice drove by michaels side giving lev a short see ya wave. Now his words really surprised her. She didnt expect to actually have a choice.
"Hello again michael. I will remember, i was really focused already the more i think about it. That way, iam thankful that you seem satisfied with my work. I know we need every tire here and i hope to get better one day. Thats why your question surprises me a bit... hmm. Iam not the best in cooking and a bit slow, obviously. But i do like making drinks... and handling with fruits. Hmm i honestly would like either learning to do smth in that or even with cakes. Get a bit creativity out. But you should decided how you can use me in that area. In the end, you are the chef." Janice chuckled a bit but fast settlee to bormal gaze. She knew the mood to laugh was prolly not too high here today "ok but i really appreciate this oppertunity you give me here" in that time, first foods were already given out and the canteen filled again. Some eating already and others waiting for the fish and other delicious foods...
--------
Petrov growled and sharply turned hsi tires sideways. Beginning to glare very annoyed. He handed his tire to the side. And one of the high ranks put a copy of the signed paper on his tire. He shoved that roughly on max's hood. "Here smart russian or whatever you see yourself as. That should be enough proof. And as vlads very trusted ones; you can be sure that he send us. Why else do we have a copy hm? Your talking is wasting time. You only extend the time you stay here. I tell you, we will report it. There your boss has no saying in this. Now stop whining and go." Petrov whistled. The way max pointed his engine out was not delighted by them. Petrov jerked forward and harshly turned max. They all tightly sorrounded him. One at every side and front aswell as rear of max. It was a harsh struggle. But soon petrov kicked max's rear and the front guy drives off. Kicking max into the bathroom. They fast threw the cleaning supplies inside, closed the door and locked it. "You will get out once you have done your work."
-------
They gave him a serious and moderate goodbye. You could see that they probably were aware themselfs of what risk they had to go throigh here. But they were ready for it, bc it was for the protection of the family. Luckily they had already an earlier food session and dont have to be distracted with hunger. While boris now finally could still his own. Vlad himself was glad how nice it tasted today once more and he already has finished his own one. Vlad was very fast today. "Enjoy your food now. I give you a break from work for now. Else you struggle your stomach. Iam glad they reported a bit to you. You know, even if it may seem normal, i think the report may have been right. Its unusual that they all stay inside and together. Almost sounds like planning and group making. Right? Ok, i stop" vlad shook his hood. Not wanting boris to feel worse and let him eat. While vlad continued writing his papers. It was nice to have a moment of calmness. Just focus on eating and that be it... but as soon as boris finished that delicious pierogie, he already noticed that his paper stacks got bigger. "Ok i added more as you were gone. I put a sticky note on the ones i need copys off aswell as the other that need to be put into files. Behind me is the locker." That made time pass real busily...

Michael pondered for awhile and looked at Janice raising his eyelid. He saw the answer of Janice more than what he would expect to see in it. The fact was that this opertunity would be also great for the kitchen and not just her. He gave a pat on her fender and looked at her respecting suddenly
" Janice. This is a good goal for your future if you will take it seriously. Considering that we don't have a specified worker for this purpose as the drinks. I see that we could be even better with our drinks like that and not just the food. You know you could learn it more extended if you would search up more about it. For example you could go to the library and then try to do it on practice in your free time. Talking about the decoration you could easily help to Arsen. Is this right ?" He then glanced on Arsen who listened their conversation and nodded " i could easily provide you with such type of the training and gladly receive your help. Even right now " Arsen smiled kindly and pointed on the lemons " I need it's zest for the cakes. If you not busy. The rest you can pass to Lev and he'll use up rest as the decoration for his fish." Their menu always was thought out well so they don't waste the fruits of vegetables. It's most of the time even matches perfectly.
-------
Max looked at the paper and grabbed it in his tire breathly reading some parts of the orders. He guessed they would provide him with this but he somehow had to stretch the time till he could figure a better plan. He didn't get this time anyway as he was kicked inside the bathroom. He fell on his undercarriage but raised himself wanting to leave as they locked the door before his hood. "Motherfuckers" he quietly hissed through his teeth and looked around. The bathroom all made with the tiles wasn't so little since it had one side for showering and another side as a toilet, luckily merged room. He was trapped right now but for sure he knew even if he will do something here he won't do the dirtiest work. He just couldn't allow himself to fall so low before the Trunkovs. He saw there was a little dusty window but located higher than his eyes level. He drove to the wall and stood on his rear wheels trying to look out to see the situation outside. But in this pose, he only could see a ceiling or maximum the sky out of the window. He even couldn't evaluate the situation to report to Alex. He also could signal him and ask to start it anyway but then he thought this would be a bad idea. He likely would be taken as a hostage which would probably ruin everything. He grabbed the rag in his tire but he just couldn't do this. Even washing the floor in the toilet was too much. He put it aside and got better idea " i warn you! I dont clean well!" Max of course tried only to seem like this. He reached with his tire and opened a little window widely. He then grabbed a bottle with a universal cleaning gel and covered with it everything he saw. Tiles in a shower, toilet zone, some corners on the floor and a sink." He then turned the water on and detached a shower nozzle so he could only use a hose. He just began to water the whole room and everything which was covered with the gell. Really soon it was all washed out and the drains on the floor didn't handle so well. At least nothing was dusty and got disinfection ( 100% xD). He knew they must open the door really soon probably seeing water going under the door so he turned it off " allright i suppose i finished. Next room"

Janice couldnt be more surprised! The way michael looked at her really made her feel good. As if she really could consider getting a future here. Was thisher new destiny? Whatever it was, she shall take this chance. As only drink professional, she would probably make herself a more respected name over the ongoing years. With a light smirk she looked towards arsen and nodded nicely and greetingly.
"Thank you michael. I will definitly teach myself more on this, even request to take some online seminars about it. Lets see how futher it can bring me. But i know for a fact that you can make drinks not just to an experience but also to an perfect energy addition of the day. I really gladly accept this chance. But iam aware id i reach it or not, lays all in my tires. I will go help arsen now. Thank you again for your time, i noticed you helped cooking too. That shows only more the seriousness of the moment." Janice bowed a bit before driving to arsen. She really was curious for this new point of the kitchen. Mostly bc of the story about arsen. She raised her eyelid a bit over the lemon and got right to it. "Morning arsen. No problem; i get right to it. I gotta say, i was always curious already what you do here. Mostly bc i see it as an even bigger sense of art. How is it... agreeable?" Janice looked over his tires on what he is working while she looked back to her lemons time to time.
--------
"I heard that!" Petrov hissed back and knocked loudly at the door. Just as max said motherfuckers. The aggression in this etage really only got bigger and bigger. "That sounds pretty pathetic if you dont even manage th-at" that was what another trunkov answered. And petrov growled and looked over him. "Concentrate. Alright?" The trunkovs nodded a bit uncomfortably. While petrov serious stared at the door. They didnt notice at first what max actually was doing, eventhough they heard smth goes odd... their assumption was fast approved as they suddenly felt wetness at their tires "hey! Are you insane?! You will pay for this. Literally. No we will make your boss pay. All we try to do here, is motivate you to work. Why are you acting like a spoiled child?! Even our high ranks are glad to help cleaning somedays." Petrov unlocked the door while his engine growled angrily. He shot it open and glared at max. Slowly approaching him... but right before max... he got unconcious. "Petrov!" One trunkovs called out concerned and they all entered the room. They shifted in their tires and seemingly didnt feel to well either. It took a moment of pondering... but was that the signal alex told max about? The trunkovs glared "you better come with us while we bring him to the doctor!"

Michael nodded shortly and looked at her with understanding " No worries. Sure, sure Janice go help him." Michael drove back to Ruslan while Arsen moved the lemons closer to Janice and smiled " I'm happy you are interested more in what I'm doing. Chef of course is considering your opinion here since he is aware that the cooking isn't just about forcing. It's about what you like to do. You guessed right that my part of the job is more artstic. Especially when it's about the decoration, when I feel like I got some time, since the sweets usually served the last, I can decorate it as I want with the cream. It's usually just flowers though" Arsen looked down and mixed a creamy and fluffy duff for a cake " Also, I hope that this is the serious thoughts I heard from you. Don't wanna touch your past here. But, woudnt you mind to become a part of us? For quite a long time ..?" He still smiled but his eyes looked questioningly at her.
-------
Max already was in a protective stance as he widened his eyes when Petrov collapsed before him. He didn't know what was going on at first and only stared at the others Trunkovs almost same confused as they are. The idea that this is could be a signal appeared soon and Max narrowed his eyes looking aside. This what Alex meant! They already attacked. What if they all will be affected like this soon? Were they poisoned ?This idea was making so much sense now and it matched to the plans. Max almost smirked but stayed calm and tried to keep confusing look while he followed the Trunkovs. Now only what was left is to give the message to Alex and flee. Two of the Trunkovs carefully helped Petrov while one stayed closed to Max. Max watched their moves and their eyes hoping to see any signal of a sickness and he saw how one Trunkov gasped as if he worked for hours before and was tired by now.
This is was probably the best time to give a signal. At least an empty short call which would already do the job. While two Trunkovs pushed Petrov outta the bathroom Max tilted a little down slipping with his tire to the phone to which he already had a success. All he had to do is just a do double click and the cover closed the phone again. Max just hoped he did everything correct and Alex was only the one to who he could call right now. In this time Trunkov pushed Max and watched him carefully, he didn't like how he felt either and this all seemed very odd and strange now. Max drove out of the bathroom and now only one Trunkov pushed Petrov while two surrounded Max. Max knew he has to wait couple minutes while Alex would react and collect everyone for the first attack.
Then after this, he could flee.

If Boris would know he Hugos territory better he would indeed feel suspicious about it. But right now he only saw an alert from their side and no more. This was so odd. While he ate and though more he also thought about Ivan. This was the one good man he knew from the Hugos. Well he seemingly were one. As he finished pierogi he felt way better but this last though still didn't leave him. He drove to the table again and grabbed the papers in his tires trying to see how long this will take now. " thats fine. I'll do this for us. This is would cheer me up a bit to work with you today. I hope that it's okay I missed my work. I could probably start tomorrow on it, but we'll see how it will go with the Hugos. " Boris shortly distracted on the paper reading it but then he had to distract Vlad again " You know what ? It was always interesting to me, why is the Hugos your enemies ? Considering that one of them, Ivan to be exact, is very close to Janice. He isn't just her mentor, she sees him more than this. Don't get me wrong. They are having a daughter- father bound even. And he is a high rank after all. Would he attack the group of his daughter so easily ? Just all this seem to me more and more confusing... sorry that I had to talk about her again. But this was just my wondering".

Janice shoved alittle lemon slice aside. Hoping its ok if she snacks it later. But it didnt distract her. Rather she just kept working. Giving arsen a moment to purely concentrate on the floof making. Her silence seemed worriesome. And she did look a bit monotone. But why else. She was just thinking back. It didnt stop her and she began to lightly smile. Really chill.
"Your work relaxes me. So dont worry, i wont be mad or anything if you touch my past in a way. Think is. Iam a trunkov and always belonged here. I may have made mistakes. But i feel like i can appreciate our family in a much more certain way. I came here with a different kind of form. So i see it as fair for myself that i have to learn more. Same goes for working here in the kitchen. You surely did expect that i didnt really... consider to ever work smth connected to cooking. I really never did and think iam bad at it. I constantly burned cakes already in my past. So be careful with that heh. But i think... if i really can get to make the drinks. I will feel happy and fulfilled in this job. I used to want becoming a bodyguard of vlad. But i never aimed higher. And i understand that he cant let everyone rank up like this. Samely i dont really aim his trust. Thats ok though. It may hurt. But i know being his close bodyguard seemingly just isnt my purpose in life. I will accept it as that. As long as i can help us all. Bc you know what? Even foodwise. Iam already on my way to be the bodyguard i always wanted to be, the one i should be. Bc i protect our wellbeing in another way. And this... this feels like a dream to dream for. I hope that answers your wonders? How did it happen that you work at this here then? Was it always your dream to do this? And you only got a chance here? Or did it went totally different. Still find it sad that you usually dont have time to go overboard with it. Your desserts always made me smile." She grins cheekily, continuing.

Alex received a ring. How did it went on for the hugos is the question? Thats easy to answer. They all collected in the main hall. Victor talked out to them as he had returned from miles. Motivating. And pushing forward. Those who are friends with trunkovs and havent broken friendship in the conflict yet, are allowed to "deliver" them to victor. As safety, since they seem hugo friendly. But he will test them. That mainly was to motivate them, to fight with victor or not stand in the way and just hide away with their friend. Only tactical measures. Same he pushed on for every singly hugo that got their food, ownings and money reduced by this unnecessary crisis. That got caused "mainly" by unfair hiding away from infos to which the hugos have a right to know it actually. The infos about tany. The punishment was unfair and too hard. Thats a message he brought across. Cheering and thrill was there in the whole room. Every hugo listened on. And alex was right beside victor, they both where on a high stage. Suddenly. Alex's phone rang and victor took another drive forward. "May this day be remembered! The loyal and strong hugos name shall not be treated like underlings. We may both be lemons. But then we demand to be treated equally fair. They trapped and provoked the war on their own tires. And its about one of us to end it. Rather it be us then them. Non of us wants to loose everything only bc the trunkovs may win one day! Fight for everyone here of us. As union. Our group will strike its way towards and forwards the border. Ourselfs shall be treaten well and todays day will bring us the aim. We already did so much for this rig, and worked so hard. I count on everyone here and you can be sure, that once this is over, we are praised with the fruits of our rights. That clutter of the other side may not distract our pride! I take lead, follow me and let us march" victor hit the ground and raised his hood. The hugos put on metal protectors for their roofs and hoods. Like an armor. Same did alex and victor. Victors having some kind of sharp horns and shine. Alex had also one with him, specially made for max. Forward the troups drove. And excited the territory. Their engines all were in same rythm. Synchro in total perfection that it overtoned the seas waves. In a sharp formation. They marched themselfs over to the enemy grounds.

"Thats ok. Take it easy boris. You already help me alot today. That means much to me already. " vlad smiled again finally. And it looked so calming for the moment. He shortly shuffled through a huge deck if signed and written papers. Stacking them together. He kinda knew that one day boris will ask this question. It made sense. Since this cold war had more then just janice as reason.
"I must say, iam glad you are interested. Its showing that you really are into this situation just as we are. Eventhough it may be really an unpleasent form. You could say... the hate slowly started already before janice joined. I didnt really mind the hugos. But conflicts have alwqys been there between our boths members. Fights. And differences of opinions. It only escalated slowly. Once janice started to work for them. The incidences increased. Amd i noticed victors despise and hate towards me. He seemingly almost always looked down upon me. Very lowering and disrespectfull in my opinion. As the big day turned in, hugos took the oppertunity to solve past conflicts by killing some of us. Obviously we defended ourselfs more than other groups. And by already present conflicts.... it eventually happened that most deaths happened between our boths groups. And the gremlins kinda got closely affected either. That day. I was the one having called in the cold war between us. Yes i know, it makes me look bad. But iam sure victor potrays himself as the call in. Since from his group it may appear as positive.... short tome later. On and on. I got in private conflicts with victor more than ever. That eventually we cutted our interaction to a minimun... it made it worse boris. He approved his members hate towards my group. And my group didnt just dislike the hugos for the big day... a pure hate and grudge has build up. You could call our boths groups real nemesis. Even today i sometimes read of suicides of ours... but iam sure they actually got murdered trickily. And i wont ever set that believ down. It is insane. It is sick! It is unfair. And unrightfull!" Vlad took a breath and rubbed his hood to calm down "i know ivan and janice are closer. Prolly even closer then she and me used to be. So iam not surprised. But ivan is a loyal man to victor. Whatever happens... i cant be 100% sure if he'd be on our side. But i would wish it. I see potential. Dont worry boris. I didnt mind mentioning janice again here. You deserve to know a bit of history." Boris slowly drove to the window to open it... and what he saw was horror. Thousands of hugos probably. Already over the border! And vlad aswell as boris havent even noticed yet... even worse. In the moment of shock.... boris saw how some high ranks just layed there... while others seemed to easily be beaten. "B-boris? Whats going on?" Vlad asked already anxious from his desk.

Arsen smiled and winked to Janice
" As if I will let you make cakes so fast. No no, you have to learn at first and show yourself as a good helper, then I will see, but if you have some artistic tastes and feel for it you will do good." Arsen totally liked how Janice made her dream job and her real job close and connected while they were so far from each other in reality. someone on her place and with the same dream would probably give up but she encouraged herself And Arsen wanted her to believe it more " It is so, we are material bodyguards who in addition trying not just support the body but also make it enjoyable. I like the way you see it, I must say I never saw it from this perspective." He opened a cabin and prepared some forms in which he poured a dough in the forms " how I came here? Well, that's not easy to answer this straight in my case. Everything was leading me to work here one day. I think that this is was my destiny even. I finished 9 class in the school and enrolled in a simple college. The proffesion I picked was same as my dads profession. He even finished the same college but he warned me that it's not gonna be easy for me. Myself I decided to gain knowledge for just myself. So i could be even better in what I liked. To be a pastry chef. I had the dreams to make an own store even, but it was when I was young. As I finished it and got my diploma I already felt and saw that there was not so bright perspectives for me. I knew more, but I should've get the job as well. Sadly my parents couldn't help me, they both worked in another industry. My dad only cooked sometimes at home and his diploma was never used as it intended. I tried at least to find work to be a cook but nothing good came out out of it. My dad saw I was slowly giving up and one day we had a serious conversation where he told to me that he knows the way out of it.
He can help me but I will have to work in a closed almost isolated organisation.
He gave me time to think on it and I agreed.
The deal was that I not supposed to tell it to my mother and one day I packed what was dear to me and my dad escorted me to Moscow saying to my mom I'm going to find work there." Arsen took the zest Janice prepared and sprinkled it over the cakes with some brown sugar, he loaded the forms into the oven and looked thougtfull down continuing his story " when me and my dad were in Moscow we waited for the evening and then my dad after studying a map of the city, leaded me to the bar which was in a suburb. This place I won't forget. The bar had a strict control and only lemons were there. This was a place full of the lemons and for the first time in my life I was scared of the cars same as me. There were Zazs. Many Yugos. Some pacers and other mixed lemons. They scanned us carefully and my dad pulled me closer to the barman. This is was a dark red brown rusty Yugo who raised an eyelid and asked coldly " What's this ? We don't need workers here."
Once my father said that he wants me to work with Trunkovs the car grunted but lead us to the room where he told other yugos to inspect us along and across. When they finished and made sure we have no guns and we aren't sent ones, the brown yugo moved forward and hinted that his help won't be for free which was something my dad knew so he handed him the money and said that this is all he can give. Eventually he observed it but gave a nod and asked us to leave the room and wait. We waited as he told us and after 15 minutes he drove out with the paper where he wrote an address, date and time he said that They will be there within this phase of time, for the raid. And if I'm lucky i can catch on them but better come earlier... He wished me luck and as you see it went well. We made a good deal eventually with Vladimir and he let me visit my parents. Soon after some years I even brought another member to this group. Already myself. That's him by the way" he pointed on Mark who left the storage room just now with some kiwis in his tires. He didn't know what they were talking about and just gave a smile to both them putting the kiwis down " What ? You guys just said something about me ? Oh thats ok , I'm not touchy. Here is your deco Arsen. I see Janice is working way surer today. Needs to be peeled btw." He grinned and pointed on the kiwis.
---------
Max followed Trunkovs and searched for better opertunity to leave. Even if it wasn't his territory he could sense that smth was wrong. As an tensed aura which he suddenly could feel in this place. Right in this time the Trunkov who drove near to Max stopped and nudged another one " Stop ! Did you hear it?" The second one froze and widened his eyes. Max tried to hear something too but nothing came to his ears yet. However as soon as they will realise that it's started they would try to hold Max. But it wasn't all. The one Trunkov who pushed Petrov just slipped down on his undercarriage" Guys, something wrong here. I don't feel good." One of the Trunkovs approached him instantly while only one stayed with Max, he also looked weakened and narrowed his eyes pulling the gun out and growling in desperate. Max didn't stand on one place and quickly making a circle around Trunkov who discharged a gun and tried to follow Max but then leaned down " Suka! You all will pay for this.." Another Trunkov who still stayed on his wheels groaned and tried to bring unconscious ones to the doctor. Max was getting down in fast temp. He already realised that Trunkovs probably heard the army outside.. when Max reached the first floor he saw a random Trunkov who he just pushed roughly aside on the speed. And broke through the doors. What he saw even made him break up shortly. This looked so intimidating from this sight. Trunkovs were doomed.
-------
Boris felt sorry for Vlad and tried to calm him down with some supportive words " I see that this was just ignored too much.. I don't say you ignored it. Maybe both groups should have try come to an agreement. I don't conclude that this is maybe is impossible at all, just.. something was a very big trigger. Now this is seem too late to fix it. But I'm worry for your group I don't hide it, by what I heard from you. I hope miles will take an action, serious one. Or he isn't a boss here anymore sadly. Calm down... I think you need to rest for some minutes. You probably haven't sleep all night." Boris drove to the window in this moment " You know,, actually I met Ivan couple days ago, and he isn't a..." ...
Boris slowly widened his eyes and gasped. What he saw was something he would never expect to see. This was prepared, like in a real war, a troop of the Hugos. " Vlad... We'll need help..."
Boris backed off a little when Vlad left his place and drove to the window " Oh no..." His eyes shone and he clenched his teeth. Boris looked in shock at the Hugos and then at Vlad. He couldn't even imagine what Vlad felt seeing how his family were slowly cutted out. This must be a horrible feeling.

Janice took the kiwis, wanting to do it for arsen. She really enjoyed listening to that story. She has heard so many storys about the trunkovs members already. But not so many from them personally told. And that was an whole experience by itself that janice enjoyed all the way. She listened really attentively. While she looked how arsen put the cake in the oven.
"Well, rather i figured how arsen got to this place. It filled in my wonder how he got to help you. Thank you very mich for this arsen. I gotta say, you really can be happy for your father, and mostly that vlad would never cut you off from your family. Your mother may not know your true job, but seeing that you happy is hopingly enough.i mean you even earn good. So why not. They way you were able to work your dream job now is the sweetest... ironic. Sweet." Janice rolls her eyes on her owm words. "Ok, i may should stop with some words. Just again thank you, that you achieved your dream job, is same motivation for me, like my perspective on this job probably is for you. Let us hope it will stay this way, and that today wont make things end... tragic." Just as janice ended her words slowly... ruslan came out of michaels office. They both talked to eachother but he looked concerned. He knew. Even if it may be unpleasent to himself. That he has to be the second in place and talk out to the kitchen crew loudly. There was no other way to safe time. "Ok message from boss. We are being attacked and are largly outnumbered. Miles has been contacted and the gremlins are ready to give some volunter and high rank workers to help. But since the pacers deny trunkov support, we need to be ready to be even higher outnumbered. Every help counts. But i need someone to assist me getting michael to the doctor. Hes having a bad stomach ache making it hard to move. Turn everything off before going." Janice instantly gulped and looked at the others worried before watching how arsen turned the oven off again. Everyone drove towards the door. And ruslan unlocked it. Letting them out. Janice saw how scared mark was and she stopped shortly so she can drive beside him and vadim. "Hey mark. Stay calm. You aint alone... we got this together ok? Iam sure for us all. We just need to be determined. Take care od eachother vadim and mark" Janice gave a nod worringly and everyone drove behind lev who guided the most safest way. It was then that they began hearing the clashing outside. Before jumping in, they made a stop at the storage. To find if some spare protection is left. Everything they found got used. There at the storage was a high rank and he directed to take a back path. To arrange a secret attack on some hugos. Everyone followed... but janice drove away from them. In a total other direction. She came out more at the front part of the whole fights. And she only watched for a few seconds before stepping in. Its when old faces meet again. With weapons out janice clashed with her front tires at two other front tires that directly blocked her. The hugo grinned widely, licking his teeth once more. She was sorrounded by other familiar faces that fought but all janice cared about was saving whos dear to her as she suddenly heard the hugo talk. "Hello kitten"
--------
The hugos marched on and looked straight forward, while others got out of the row to fight the resistant trunkovs. It didnt took long. A high rank saw max, stopped in place. He driectly dragged max into the savety of the troups march it was uncomfortable bc he constantly got pushed forward and more forward till he suddenly stood inbetween victor and alex. Right at the front. Alex chuckled "hey bro. I see you made it out if the maid job~" victor growls and shortly eyed max "iam glad to finally have you here. Ivan decided to not join. For now. But just now, you be my second right hand. So stand and march like us. And take on your new smithed armor." Alex put the armor onto max's body. And almost softly but confident he mouths "welcome again bro" slowly alex gazed forward with a warm smile. Behind you, you heard the thousands of engines. Victor yelled out parols and the hugos repeated them. It was a massive, blood and oil freezing experience. It took time. But finally gremlins decided to join in on the fight. Victor only grins. And spread his tires ready himself. Alex yelled "forward!" And suddenly the gremlins mixed... this was when finally you noticed pacers. They all decided to stick on their hood symbols. The word pacer, slash the hugo symbol. To show the cooperation for now the troups were busy.
---------
Vladimir was frozen. He stared down. He had seen how some trunkovs got shot. And for a moment vlad couldnt talk at all. It was as if forcefully everyone he loves is being taken to death. Hopeless. Almost as if they loose already. Vlad could almost cry. Almost. He wanted to. But his body never really let him. Rather he sharply turned and got out his guns. Attaching them and throwing one that is for the tires and doesnt need to be build in, towards boris. Next up he took on an armor. "Boris. I need to go out there and help. I cant watch and look how my family goes to the ground. I have to help in every way i can. No matter what it takes out for me. I rather would like if you stay here. But it isnt safe. They will try to get into my office as victory stage. Hide. Hide! Best be in your room. Its probably not in their interest. Just promise to really look out for yourself." Vlad slowly neared boris. And then suddenly shortly hugged him. "We be ok my friend. Dont worry" vlad then kicked his door open. And drove out as fast as he could. He exited the territory and winced backwards as he saw an gremlin rolling away on his side. "What the?" Vlad drove into the mess. He knew were he had to go. He mainly tried to not kill any hugo. But soon as he saw an hugo having killed a trunkov that already layed on the ground... a nerve in vlad burned through, and from the side he shot the hugo right back. But fast turned his attention back. He paced through and through. And watched carefully to not receive any too harsh damages. But whereever he went. It were too many! Way too many! He couldnt spot victor anywhere. Between all these faces and roofs. But he was sure that this was the man he had to focus on. To this point of time, he already had two flat tires. And a shot in the trunk. But nothing too harmful.
-------
Janice got pushed backeards in that mid air stance. He almost got to turn her arund. But she went with his move and used it against him. Letting herself roll really fast on her roof and kick his undercarriage. Ashe then rolled themself sideways. Now she was on top. Janice had luck and even if she gave him a dirty cheap hit first. She eventually kicked against the wall. Just as she wanted to charge at him, his other 5 friends attacked her. Janice shook and kicked arund herself and soon she just shot two that held her tightly. She was not here to let them play with her. Janice felt some blood in her mouth and how her wounds felt sore. Just as that was, she got vision back and saw seconds befor her side got point of a massive blow. These wounds reopened and she harshly rolled away till being stopped hard against a black body. Janice fast got back on tires, breathing hardly... you heard a loud bomb explosion. And in that red light that radiate then, she sees the now brown eyes... it was max.

Janices heart beats. Upwards to sensable and loud in her own body. She felt as if she heart its every beat. And that already only by seeing and facing max. She expected everything from max since he never showed any possible line towards her. All she saw was him being higher and more succesfull. With a tire visually on her, herself on the ground in blood and pain, having to look up to him. None of these memorys are sweet. And the realness kicked its way in. No matter how much janice tried to seem tough... this time she couldnt, max easily broke through that shell. And she hasnt felt such pure fear since long towards another car. How could he still feel for these things? Why does karma always has to get back. The tears of fear just werent to be held back. They made her eyes reddish but luckily not flowed. "Nein, stop pls!!" Janice screamed and held her teeth shut. She felt how important this was to him, she feared for her life now and so much faster then ever. Janice tried to quickly get his gun and push it on the ground... but she needed to flee. Wont he shoot then? For her it seemed hopeless. And in fear she couldnt think straight at all. She had to act. Its all she knew. She wasnt gonna give up easily... not for her loved ones atleast. She needed to damn do smth! But she just freezed. She freezed in fear and pressure. Holding his gun down, with blood flowing from her beaten mouth. She pleaded for life innerly... but if she jumped on him. She be an easy target. Only hugos were around... and he had full force. She wimmered weakly before him, all she could do was lower submitting before him. But she actually did that because she almost felt her heart standstill. She didnt want to see it come. She has acted so brave since years. But acted doesnt mean shes fearless... mostly not now.

Max saw how Janice quickly lost her stance and her tires weakened. It was clear she was afraid of him but this didn't affect her same as Max. Nothing seemingly gave her the power and she looked in deaths eyes almost humbly. Her words didn't sound sincere. Max lost trust to her so long ago. He stared in her eyes feeling a burning despise towards her and a huge wish to make her suffer " You should be grateful for a quick death... Though before I would like to make you feel something else.."
He felt not a drastic hit from another Hugo who didn't managed his controlling but left soon chasing another target. Max clenched his teeth and pushed Janice with the hits on her front, he shoot in her tire almost leaving her without the whole wheel. This was made to disable her one front tire to shot. Janice screamed in the pain and her eyes filled with the tears. Max held another tire of her and turned his body to stand beside her. Letting her view the scene. With his eyes he quickly deceted a wounded Trunkov who tried to hide from the Hugos. They likely would find him anyway soon buy max were faster. Trunkov fall down on the ground being wounded hardly in his side roof. He snarled on Janice when she moved her body trying to free her wheel again. " How it feels now!? My boss also told me to kill them! I still couldn't do it right on your eyes!" Determined to finish her Max cornered her again and swung the gun in his tire to break her teeth. He felt how someone wounded his rear side but this just meant he should shot Janice right away how it is. He groaned and moved away from this position to not get another bullet in his side. What was odd that the bullet came from the Hugos side and not Trunkovs. This could be a mistake but max doubted by now. He shot but suddenly Janices body moved away and an acrid smoke covered surrounded them. The smoking bombs were used already by some members but max felt that he was the reason now. He saw Janices area under the headlight was massively damaged by him as suddenly something covered Janices whole body and she dissapeared from his view. Max just couldn't believe this was happening on his eyes. He wanted to drive out of this placw and follow as quick as can but something hit his roof really hard. He couldn't even see or think anymore on what's going on laying down on the place where he was.
------
The sharp pain was all Janice could feel before she passed out. She didn't feel any thing anymore and everything around her seemed like a dream which was close to the end . Faded, unclear and slowly going dark.
The Hugo pushed a covered body on the hugo territory. Looking around he sometimes recieved odd gazez for the seconds. With a tragic look he drove to the back exit of the Hugos building and left Janices body there.
Right away the Hugo left driving back on the battle field. To fight as all did.
Janice body soon got carefully picked up and brought on the soft place.
Ivan locked the room and took the cover out of Janice observing her body. She opened her eyes for the seconds but closed them heavily again barely breathing.

Everything has happened so fast that even janice couldnt get a full glimpse of it. All she felt was the massive pain and fear. The fear of death and of a certain actual eclipse in a way. And memory flashes of his last words that she heard. What She actually heard was only her breath and her heart beating. She didnt even notice that theres ivan infront of her.... she only layed on her undercarriage and breathed, trying to get up and somehow continue. Besides that, it struck silent in this room. Only she was the focus of noises and single source. Suddenly janice felt how she got sorrounded by soft objects aswell. She didnt register it yet. But ivan gave her a place in his room on his bed. So can rest a bit. He took the time and took a painkiller, putting it in her mouth and giving her water. He also calmed her wounds. Its first things that he could rn to ensure her survival and make her feel good. Eventually janice breathed out in a quite long way, falling asleep softly. Her body was fueled in fear though and already after half an hour she got send back to feel and world. She still could feel some pain, but it was more bareable now. She only shuddered and wondered... what now? A-am i already dead? Or did he do smth to me... janicr tried to sense the feeling inside her mouth. Yet nothing hinted max"s success. Janice lowly groaned a grunt. "max?"
-------------
In the whole cluttered mess, vladimir bravely proceeded forward! Boris may hasnt spot him, but he heard a shot from above very loud and clear. That was when he noticed boris. It made him smirk. Bc boris was rightful not the only sniper but vlad appreciated his help more than anything. It went on. Noone noticed that miles had already arrived at the outbound corner. For that victor was prepared too. Easily try to ignore miles way. And "accidentally" block his way, so he couldnt get inside the mess. And isnt heard by the loud warish sounds. And he wont have a chance to find victor or alex, who placed themselfs as far off as they could. Back there, victor was sourrounded by couple of hugos
Protecting and fighting with him. But he joined in aswell. Keeping attention on the time and situation, when it be the perfect timing to march forward... and dominate the trunkovs territory under his riffled tires. Victor was mad that max wasnt near him too rn, but that was objectively in the current situation. So nothing to worry about for max.
Rather trunkovs that met vladimir rn, got an odd command. He wanted some to flee and hide away. They shall not feel regrets or guilt. Its to have some left. Victor is purposely trying to decrease them now and here. And it wasnt hard for vlad to figure that fact. Vlad paced forward and even showed some agility in his age. Like a gepard he got around the hugos while forcingly getting them out of his way either. He killed them, but it was a necessarity. Vlad may has received many shots, but that wasnt enough drastic places to impress him. Everyone fought on, even max...by now, gremlins were the only noticeable fighters anymore, and max got cornered by two. Without a breath max directly his the trigger to kill one. He didnt even let a milisecond pass. As suddenly he felt a drastic sharp shot. The gremlin almost killed him.shooting at his roof. But max could get alittle away and just barely safe his life. Directly the hugo hit him against the wall hardly. And hit on max on and on. It seemed as if he tried to teach max pain before killing him. He got out a real long thick knive and purely hit it into maxs side. Max felt it peircing through his metal into his flesh. In which it slightly spins. In utter pain, max groaned and got out his mg. It was time. All loaded up he killed the gremlin that was hurting him. A trunkovs behind and even another gremlin! Accidently he hurt a hugo. But did not kill him. Max stood with wide tires. His gun spewed some smoke just like max slightly twitches in pain and adrenaline. As suddenly victor began to yell. "End formation!" Hugos reapeted these words... till everyone in a choir shouted it outloud. Noone has missed the command. Not even max, max awaitingly stood at the entrance. Through a respecting gap, victor and alex were let towards the fronts where the three finally met again. Coldly victor mouthed "we are the dominant number. It is time to march onwards to end this war. Dont forget my faithfull fighters, in which rooms and etage the snipers were. They deserve a lesson for this foolish attempt."

Janice registered that ivan was there and helped yet she couldnt do much was that input rather then only try to mentally make her body clear that shes out of danger. She didnt notice anymore how ivan left. Rather she felt sick... was it bc of the pain? No. She actually was poisened too... she had a light hiccup before falling in a deep slumber. Her body needed that long awaited rest. She couldnt even worry rn about what ivan was surprised at or rather thought himself. Only thing her body cared about, was that he made her safe for now. Or rather. Her father took care of her. Went through dangers just to carry her to survival. It made janices heart beat warmer. Bc she felt like he currently is the only one who does that for her. And would keep it on no matter what happens. She truly felt loved.
----------
The hugos actually didnt notice the struggle that max showed. It all went way too fast. They shoved the body aside even and went on with their deeds. The hall was filled with the disastorous cars. While vlad was tire over roof busy. He knew he couldnt save all but he had luckily found curby. And send every single trunkov that he reached and that he told to eascape that they shall go over to the gremlin territory. So they all did and luckily there... vlad knew they should be safe and taken care of. Vlad saw how they helped wounded and even seemingly dead trunkovs to be carried over and it brought bigger relief. Yet this whole mess already brought vlad to a critical statement in his roof... which he knew tolga probably shared.... tolga! Boris! Where are they! Vlad breathed in quick paces and went through outside around. It has suddenly gotten so quite outside the building, while the whole hell was inside. Vlad had free pass to look around. But on the now empty battlefield was only blood... bodies and weak trunkovs helping eachother. Vlad had to decide. If to help or go on. He decided to help half the way before finally wanted to go back into the building. He saw it as his duty. He needed to somehow meet victor. But how shall he get pass all the hugos? That was as if he voluntarily went into gulag. Just simply insane. Vlad turned seeing the storage room behind... time to let his old body move a bit. Vlad took out an old rusty griping hook. "Pls... please work for gods sake" he kickced it against the ground and it finally shootted the hook out. Vlads heart beated in luck. He went into position and pointed it towards his office... today was the time that he breaks his new window himself. With a shoot and a rapid move it lifted vlad up and fast he caught the edge with his front tires. Trying to climb his body into the office. Hardly he had to grit his teeth but finally he felt the soft ground. He was in. Now he had chances to meet the front of the troup! Vlad adjusted his protection a bit better and drove out to the halls... you just clearly heard them approaching. The engines. Max's engine was easily heard seperatly for a trunkov. The yells and commands... alex's voice... victors voice.... yes. Vlad went to go down. Etage per etage. It felt so cold... knowing you just approach the danger yourself. But rather like this, then letting more and more of his dear family die. On his way he saw another dead trunkov. Vlad coulfnt just pass he needed to take some time once to sat down shaking him. More and more "hey... hey. Iam here. Please say smth." Vlad slowly stroke the dead body then. "iam sorry i couldnt save you... and so many others... i-i wont let that happen ever again. Family promise my brave one." Vlad sobbed and lost a tear. He really cares about everyone. But when it hits a young hearty and cheerful member. It ached double so much. That was when the door to that hall got opened by a low rank, so the pridefull three could enter. Max alex and victor inbetween. Directly victors strict gaze met vladimirs eyes. Vic began to smirk. Widely "oh, how a pleasent surprise is given to us. So who we have here. My old friend vladimir trunkov. Seemingly it has driven you to shy away from being a saviour. Or are you ready to submit yourself to me." Alex shortly glanced at max and nodded. Both of them drove a bit protective infront of vic. So vlad doesnt get any fast ideas. Which was clever. Vlad felt smth strange inside. Not just frustration but also an unbearable rage and grudge that has build up. It fed iself on the pain and suffer he just had to witness and vlad hissed angrily "why you smiling so stupidly. I would wish to teach you for more respect. Making you stop smiling by your own will. Say, how long does it actually take you to look arpund and see what you cause? You aint a lemon. You aint a brother or friend of mine. All you are is being worse the the non-lemons and a shame to this whole organization. Think of that." Victors eyelid twitch on that. Alex and max glared even darker for a second as victor suddenly began to chuckle. "Me? Being worse the non-lemons? Watch your tongue young trunkov. You havent seen the world to its full bits just yet. What i did here can also be considered family. Even democracy. Hm? They all chose themselfs to help. We have some that stayed at home in our place. I didnt force anybody. Rather you forced us to this act. And after all these dishonors and even robbery that your group caused us, its time to hit back. If you havent noticed. We aint naive, we see that we are treated lowly. But we deserve rights just as you do. So kneel down and it may mercy you" vladimir lift himself up and approaches victor. "I will never submit to you. You did not deserve all this. None of you all did. We may have a cold war, but your reasons are your own fault." Victor pushed alex and max politely aside. Howering kinda over vlads eyeview as suddenly he hit his tire on the trunkovs hood and pushed him harshly to the ground. "Hmm whats wrong. If you dont submit yourself to me. Then why you let me push you down." Vladimir growled... "because you poisened us!" Victor chuckled a bit "i would be honored if that truly was my idea. But it was alex's idea. And he let every singly food you all got from us get barium injections. Stolen food shall tastes its bitters. While some of us had to hunger today" the hugos were all silent. You heard their sharp breaths from the ones with much pain. But all awaited vics next action. He pressed vlad harder down. Denting the hood through, giving an idea. He turned vlad around as he opened the rear hood. "Well then. Let us end this war. I think none of us has the will to let this go un unnecessarily longer. Hey keep your tires still vlad. Dont make it harder for your russian comrade" vic saw how vlad tried pushing him away. But it didnt help. Vic ripped out some engine parts. Aiming to reach futher and futher down. While vlad continued to kick with every bits of strength. But vic was way stronger. Suddenly there was a yell in the back of the hall and fast tolga approached. Everyone instantly pointed their guns towards him but he roughly pushed vlad away from vics grip. "Now halt wait asecond!" Vic chuckles and got his own gun out "leave my boss be. He may not submit in his name... then atleast i will, as long as you spare his life then. Aswell just take mine instead of h-" tolga just wanted to act while talking. Silently getting a gun out but instantly a random high rank shot tolga. Vladimir saw it and couldnt breath for almost 30 seconds. It was as if vlad died by the pure sight. Victor was just a centimeter away from tolga as it happened. And coldly he watched at tolge before scanning vlads reaction... vics body shuddered. He almost had to moan but held it back. "Let us step forward." Victor just climbed and rolled over tolgas body. Everyone did the same that had tolga in their way. As they moved forward and claimed the office. Vlad closed his trunk. And just leaned himself on tolgas body silently.

The gremlins right away went for it. They already had so many emergency cases here. But boris luckily got the fastest help. One of the doctor assistants actually approached ivan "i think he be gratefull already for hearing that you acted and saved him. Am not sure what lead you to actually be on their side, but i tell you. It was pridefull and the right thing to do. Thank you for the assistance ivan. Miles will definitly talk about this. You canbe certain that we all are ready to turn in some good words for you. For now though, we gotta concentrate on every patient." The gremlin nods and puts the mouth cover on driving over to help the not to severe hurt ones. The room was so fully packed that gremlins helped turning the neighboured rooms into more space fpr the patients. Getting devices and cables over. Aswell as some supplies. They seemed to handle it well though, which was a big relief. Boris got brough straight in a special side room, where they fast needed to look for what blood is fitting to him. They fast came to a simple B and prepared what he he needed. While that was. They took care of his wounds and stopped his bleeding. Cleaning them and covering them up; aswell as giving them som connecting help operationwise. Yet soon boris was done for starters and his unconcious body could rest. They helped with some painkillers lastly. But then left boris alone for now. Finally he could sleep and rest. Its prolly unbelieveable that he survived...and is outta danger.

For victor, this was a huge day. No matter the consequences, the victory felt its sweetest. And suddenly the air smelled so tasty. Victor looked more proud then ever before. It was the day he gave his name the victory proof. But mentally he knew that miles can eventually throw them out. So, as he saw someone finding an emergency safe. Victor smirked and drove towards it. He had a feeling already that it prolly is money. He didnt need it of course. Even not if they be thrown out. He can afford a villa extend himself. Yet still... it tickled in his tires "may you give me that. I will give our expert this safe to open it. I would call this the money repay for our lost goods this morning. Sounds pretty fair, doesnt it?" Victor chuckled as he suddenly registered max's words. Now thats was an least suspected thing slowly and calmly he approached them both. Today by that fight and how calmly he talked, it felt as if victor is their friend... "hmm? Did i just heard an idea that doesnt went towards your own interest? Very good max, you got alot of selfcontrol. I agree that our members need urgent and fast medical help, for which i already prepared us all for. Some more doctors stayed at our territory. But are you really sure you dont want it? I think its a repayment for what you fighted here too. Besides being a strong and trustable member. I really am impressed, since that was smth i havent seen coming. May it be like that then max." Victor smiled but then saw janices file laying beside alex. He slowly approached it; and opens it "i think it be good if we eliminate it. Since she got entrys about us. So i will take that with me. Well then, everyone. This day may remain in its glory name, how strong we are and that we dont let them take our rights. Our foods. And our ownings. Iam very impressed by everyones work. Let us head back now and i command everyone to see the doctors. But before..." he searched for a certain hugo thaz wince once victor layed his eyes on him. "Come. Stick the flag to the exterior. " the hugo opened his trunk and many helped getting that huge and gigantic hugo flag out. They hung it outside the office. So everyone outside and even in the distance will see it. Victors engine sounded very pleased as they all wantedto leave the office. Victor had hoped this day would end even more perfect. That max gets his file. But seemingly a little fail had to be there. Oh well, may it be like that. Victor opened the door and they all drove out down the hall. Vladimir wasnt there anymore. But it didnt took long to find him. Just one etage lower, vlad tried ignoring his own paint and wanted to push tolga to the gremlin doctors. He was dead, for sure. But vlad just didnt want to accept that reality. He just couldnt and it messed with his mind and heart. He heard them all behind him and slowly turned around, growling. "Are you happy now?!" Victor smirks in response "ohh, are you crying vladimir? Be a man. Certainly yes iam happy. But mostly my members are. Now be so kind and dont stand in my way like a trashbag." Victor just kicked vlad out of his way aswell as shoving tolgas body aside. He marched on.... as suddenly he jerked by a shot. Fast victors members sorrounded vic "BOSS! are you alright." Alex gasped and helped vic to stand again.Alex almost felt his own heart stop. He didnt really want to become boss yet. And victor was important for everyone here... without him, nobody wiuld have been mobilized today even. Vladimir was the one who shot towards vic, but someone noticed in time... and so once more. Victor gets away. But its the first hard damage he received and it almost hit him deadly through. Instantly high ranks went as support by his side so he will get to the doctors fast. At the rim of unconciousness, struggling to stay here. Victor hissed so deadly, you could feel the hatred in the s sounds.... "you have done a huge mistake trunkov. I was kind, and am still. For letting you life. May you regret your mistakes. Conelian! Get some low ranks to take care of him. No killing. Only go against his morals, hes much more sensitive there. I have had enough of this foolish idiot." The high rank that shot tolga, spit on vlad while passing by. Fast the high ranks moved to bring victor to the doctors. On the way, he couldnt stay awake and eventually fell unconcious. Then they even drove faster. You really felt and saw that he was the dictating head of them. Soon they all reached the doctors and everyone set themselfs to be taken care of. The high ranks and extremely hurt ones, got taken care of first. But it all suddenly went somewhat peaceful. Almost as if victor brought peace? But that was actually only the reliefing feel after a war.

(Ok i hope i got it right with " the kitchen crew made their way back to the building" that it means they made the way back to the trunkov building?)
Curby couldnt believe it even. He did work close with tolga really often even. It took curby some time to process this himself as he approached and shows support, he pat dimas sidepanel. He knew, his calming wont do much, but is smth they will probably need "i honestly dont see any words to it myself other then, that this day has been its most tragic. Tolga may has died like a hero. But i myself would have wished it didnt came to that...not like this. do me a favor. Go with some of my highranks. Let us help you to bring these members here to the other territory. We can take care of you all better currently. Dont worry, you all will have time to properly hold a funeral. We need to hold one. But for now every rest is precious here. I take it onto myself and my two trusted cars to look for vladimir. May the world be blessing you all atleast now." Curby gave a nod. But right away he looked at the injured again. And how they griped hard onto the bodys of the lost loved ones. One softly stroke the body, till he lightly moved it, in hopes to cause life. Curby could relate. Bc he lost some gremlins in this war aswell..."roger, carlos. Come with me." They left while the other high ranks from curby stayed to help. Curby looked through vlads office for hints. But there was nothing. He only saw a trace of vlads paint in the hall. But it didnt bring them anywhere. Tolgas body wasnt here anymore. It got brought away too for now. Like the bodys of every other fallen member. So they can get their proper goodbye soon. Curby doubted that anyone would stay tearless that day. Already through the whole territory. Curby realized how hopeless it is. Vlad merely is not here. And even if, then curby just isnt finiding him. Slowly him and roger aswell as carlos left the building from another exit. Spotting the kitchen crew finally. Lightly roger touched marks side. That was when he actually first will notice their presence "hey. It seems you all made it. But instead of waiting here. I think we should get you over into safety and recovery. Iam sorry this all had to happen." Curby drove into the light as the other gremlin finished, and recognized mark actually by words of vlad some days ago. "Is it you mark? Iam glad we finally could meet. Maybe not at such a dark day, but dont fret. It luckily is over. You all survived. Thats a good message i can give you..." Curby sighed and made a simple motion with his tire. Making them push the others. Curby helped himself. It was a bit complicated. But luckily these things seemed to turn better.... but no one could smile here. They all did what was needed, even with this pain and those thoughts making you ripped deep inside.

Alex was so reliefed that max felt fine. The war might have been won. But alex felt worries. What if boss isnt surviving, or what if he wont be able to attend the meeting. Alex just didnt want to have that massive control or a group with such a strong mindset. It seemed like only victor was able to keep the hugos in their perfect shape. But alex shouldnt worry, victor is fine. Now with max awake, alex felt alot more secure and calmer. He smirked and put max's contactlenses into the trash. He has many replacements anyway. "Drink a bit calmer. You still are weakened and your body could let it all out again. Iam glad you ask. I myself hope hes fine. I dont feel ready for that responsibility yet. And for the win of our war, we need him now. I can calm you though. He got away with an good fixable damage. Boss will be fine in no time. And now lay down again. Not so fast max." Alex shortly watched how the doctors served for those who seemingly can eat, really easy soft and soupish food. For max too. Max will need that energy rn anyway. Alex had luck andngot away in the best condition actually. He saw that upon himself as protection for the rightful deed. "I think we need to be careful though max. you noticed ivans behavior today? We cant accept that risk for too long. I think we may eventually have to take care of it before he decides to fully focus on the enemys side. Thats really sad. And i dont want boss to be risked in such an vulnerable state. While hes unconcious, we need to take the higher pass and also protect vic." Alex looked over max a bit more closely. That war really exhausted every hugo
But there was smth that spred through the room though. The feel of final success. Other than the big day... they actually won! It fueled them quite much. And only rose the image, that the hugos can reach what they want... same though alex has. And probably max even. But alex was quite curious "you have done a pretty good job btw. I hope in your eyes, that all went well too. So much has happened, i admit that i can only remember the half of the things that i witnessed on the battlefield." Which is crazy. Considering how many life they took. Their minds just dont even give too detailed rememebrance for certain reasons. But what all knew though, is that its worth it to fight for your own rights. No matter what.

The hugos, and even conelian... there was a really small tint of respect on their gazes. All destroyed by vlads engine stalling sadly... Vlads speech was saying much, but conelian closed his mouth, shaking his hood. No! This today was way too important for him! "Listen to yourself habibi~ you are talking in higher hypocrices then me... who are you? Vladimir or miles." Conelian chuckled and slowly they all circled around vlad "if you submit yourself, is smth i will see later. But that you dont order your cars to hurt a high rank is totally unimportant when its you yourself trying to kill victor. I would almost feel sorry. If you deserved it. Comeon, isnt it clear? Every single death. Even tolgas. Is all alone your fault. Yes it is. Would you have refused the punishment, this all wouldnt have happened. Would you have gone to victor and kneel down to him. This all wouldnt have happened either." Conelian began to chuckle as if this was very funny and shook his hood "i mean, i mean. What silly and easy ways with which you could have saved the cars you call dear to yourself. Thats so sad! And dont you dare crying. You do not have the right when killing your own member." Conelian was at vlads side as they circled on, he smirked still so much amused which began looking very very sick. "Ok ok, i wont let you stand in the dark. We aint brainwashed. And i know victor is somewhat a sadist. But everyone has sich a side inside of us. Victor only told us what the reason for todays mess was. It was our owns choice to go and fight for whats ours. So please, do not blame victor for that. Rather for this!" The hugos chained vladimir down to the ground. And put directly under his front a carpet with extremely sharp, rusty spikes. Vlads hoods undercarriage basically howered just barely above it. As conelian trailed his tires over vlads hips and mounted him. They all were excited and pleased on how far they can go. That was when conelians friends got out a camera, and pointed it towards vlad. All seemed good handleable yet. Even when they smothered vlads body in kingswater... which is an acid that slowly destroys metal. But that took time and gave the appearance as if they did fear vlad in some way? Suddenly conelian chuckles "ok vladimir. It took me some time to ponder, this is a very special and honourable day for us. It is so nice to have you here, visiting us. But bc iam so nice, i thought of special torturs for you... cutting your undercarriage open and bent its pipes and co outside to reveal your inner organs and let you have wings in a way~ or letting rats eat your inside. That sounds very much fun actually. Before. Meet my little friends, henry and julia! One of the hugos came back with a cage, with two rats inside. Beside that was scissors. Conelian hardly grope vlads roof and used the back entrance, groaning with a giggle "Amina Koyim!~ vlad could only clench his eyes closed at first as suddenly conelian hit his front tires onto vlads hood, making vlad crash painfully in the spikes under him. That definitly reached through his metal... and you prolly could expect that conelian never cleans his torture toys. Even more reason to worry. Conelian huffed as he downed vlad, raising an eyelid "o-ok. It wont take long. Then we can continue with the real fun and games! ohh man.... i never had an ukrainien! No wonder your womens got to suffer already. Its you too, to take you just feels too good. No wonder that raрe happened. Totally- - understandable. Guys! Start already. Vlad seems to like having fun." The hugos nodded and tried inforcing vlads mouth to stay open, as they came near with the rats. The way how long it took, made it feel only worse. What disappointed conelian, is that they aint allowed to kill vlad. Though this torture method actually can kill though!*

Ivan was in the room besides the medical room. He let victor down... but before alex went to max. He forced ivan to leave the room. And let the room be guarded. It is sad to see how alex isnt trusting him a bit. To ivans luck, noone actually has let alex know that he probably saved janicr. Alex even didnt question it. Alex believed janice just couldnt have survived this. Slowly ivan left the medical room, as he packed some more medical supplys. Suddenly it really somewhat was as if he isnt welcome anymore. But he shrugged on that for starters. Atlesst they seemed to take good care of eachother here and will recover real soon. Ivan moved back to his room, maybe it be better to shortly check on janice... she layed messily on his big bed and has moved the pillow only alittle. More under herself. She let out a slight squek. She prolly dreamed smth? That alightened ivans heart a bit again. To see how she can find the peace and comfort now after his help, and how shes seeking through dreamlands. But what now? Ivan knew vlad was with conelian. But if he freed and even saves vlad. That be the dead end for his hugo career and the respect of the others. Victor will not take that lightly at all. That total rejection. Only if ivan helps vlad.... ivan was totally aware of what consequences this has.
