Chapter 10
Four months passed, Ray and Bryan kept writing each other. It lead to much torment for Ray from his younger team mates about his secret girlfriend. Kai had turned out to be an exellent teacher and Ray had soon developed a love for the Russian language.
It was now the 28th of November and the team was having breakfast, Chief was handing out today’s mail. Mainly fan mail.
“Hey Ray, it’s a letter from your girlfriend again.”
Chief tossed the envelope to Ray, who tore it open. He didn’t know why, usually he only read them in his and Kai’s room. Maybe it was because he wondered what the Falcon wanted and it was his turn to write.
Ray
I freaking did it! I went to that damned super market, alone, in broad daylight!! It was nerve-wrecking; I smoked almost an entire package on the way there. But I did it!
I can’t believe I’m letting such a small thing dominate my life so much. It feels as if I’ve finally been given my freedom… I doubt I’ll ever be really comfortable with a lot of people and open spaces, but now I’m one step closer to normality…
Me, normal… That sounds like a joke, huh?
Thanks for your support… It means the world to me.
Your Falcon
It was the shortest letter he’d ever received from Bryan, but apart from the first one, none of them had meant as much as this one did.
Suddenly Ray realised that Tyson and Kai were fighting again over Tyson’s eating habits. He sighed and left the kitchen, heading for the bedroom. He flopped down onto his bed and started to write a response to his Falcon.
Ray’s POV
I heard the door open and Kai entered.
“Did he give in?”
“More or less, Max and Kenny sided with me so he stopped arguing at least. You want me to take that to him?”
“You’re leaving?”
“Yeah, on the first.”
“Oh…”
“Actually, I was wondering if you'd like to spend Christmas in Russia."
“Are you serious?”
“Yep.”
“I’d love to!”
We had somehow managed to learn how to talk about our loved ones without really talking about them. I wanted to talk in front of the others, but they were still hurting because of the Finals, and Kai and I had realised that telling them wouldn’t make a difference. Not when they couldn’t have the whole truth. But it still hurt when they insulted my Falcon, though…
“Good, cause your flight leaves on the 18th.” He said and threw a ticket at me with a small smile. He then locked the door and came over to sit next to me.
“We have never celebrated Christmas before. Will you help us with it?” He whispered. A bang of sadness went through me before I answered him.
“Of course I will.”
“Thank you. Oh, and Falcon was born on Christmas Eve… But he doesn’t know that yet, thought you might want to know though…” He smirked at me.
“Thanks Kai. How is Tala?”
“Better, almost back to normal… He still has a lot of nightmares though.”
“Did…. Did…”he” get convicted?”
“Yeah, he and Boris both were sentenced to life imprisonment. Mr. Dickenson is our legal guardian now. But we're free to do whatever we want, as long as it’s legal.”
“Cool!”
“I still can’t believe we’re free…”
***
Kai left early in the morning, the others were still asleep. He gave me one of those rare hugs and said: “Try to stay sane with them. I’ll see you in 18 days.”
“Ok. Tell them that I’m really looking forward to meet them.”
”Will do. Take care, little brother.”
He left and I went back to the kitchen and poured myself another cup of coffee. I sat down at the table and let my mind wander freely. An hour later Kenny came into the kitchen, yawning.
“Morning Ray.”
“Morning Chief.”
“A penny for your thoughts?”
“Just thinking about which Christmas gifts to buy.”
“I know what you mean.” He put the kettle on the stove.
“Ray?”
“Yes?”
“Uhm… I’ve been meaning to ask you something… You and Mariah, are you still a couple?”
“What? No, we never were.”
“But… In Russia… I thought…”
“She thought so too… I needed her as a friend at the time, but I guess I wasn’t clear enough about it. She’s like a sister to me, even though we don’t have much contact these days.”
“So she isn’t that F girl?”
Somehow I got the feeling that Bryan wouldn’t be happy with some one calling him a girl, but that was another matter.
“No, she isn’t. Why do you ask by the way?”
He blushed profoundly. “Well… It’s… It’s just that we’ve been e-mailing each other and…”
“And you like her?”
He nodded.
“I’m glad Chief. Just watch your back, she has claws. And don’t hurt her. I did enough of that to her.”
“You don’t mind then?”
“Not at all.”
The kettle started to whistle and as Chief poured himself some tea Max and Tyson entered the kitchen. Soon they were sitting at the table, eating and talking happily about everything and nothing.
“Hey, where’s Kai?” Tyson asked suddenly.
“He left to Russia this morning.” I answered.
“He did what?! He’s leaving us again?! And you knew and didn’t try to stop him?”
“Calm down, he’s going to spend Christmas in his home country, that’s not a crime. He’ll be back in the beginning of January, ok?”
“But... It's almost a month to Christmas. Why did he leave already?” Max asked.
“He had some things to take care of.”
“Yeah, like going back to those mental Demolition Boys! I’m telling you, he’s going to team up with those freaks again!”
“He won't. Why are you still so mad at them? It’s been seven months and it seems to me that you’re only getting more and more upset with them.”
”What they did was sick, twisted and purely evil!! You were almost killed Ray! And how could they have changed when Kai hasn’t? He’s still the ‘loner’. The only one he really talks to is you.”
“That may be because I’m the only one who doesn’t judge him for going to the Abbey.”
“I don’t judge him.”
”The way you talk about the whole experience you could've fooled me.” I got up and was about to leave the room, this was not a discussion I wanted to go through right now.
“Ray, don’t tell me you've forgotten what happened back there? You hated them too.”
”I did. But it’s in the past Tyson. Let it stay there.”
I went to my room and threw myself onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. Why can’t we be more like them? If there was one thing that I had come to understand about the Russians, it was that they held no secrets from each other.
“What’s wrong with you Ray?” Tyson's voice came from the now open door.
“Nothing.”
”You’ve changed.”
”We all have.”
“Why don’t you want to talk about Russia?”
”I just don’t.”
“That’s not a reason.”
”It’s the best you’re going to get.”
He sighed and shook his head.
“So, are you going to stay for Christmas or are you going back to China?”
”Neither, I’ll go to Kai.”
“WHAT?!?!”
“Don’t scream. I’ll go to Kai. It’s as simple as that.”
”No, it isn’t!! Why rather be with Mr. Sourpuss than us?”
“Don’t call him that!”
“That’s what he is. Answer the question!”
Max and Kenny had come into the room as well now, and were looking at the both of us nervously. I took a deep breath, maybe Kai would kill me for saying this, but they needed to start to understand him.
“He needs me Tyson. He has never celebrated Christmas before and he wants to do it in his home country.”
“He… Never… Never celebrated Christmas?”
“Correct.”
“But… How? Why?”
“That is not for me to say. Just stay away from his case. And mine too, by the way.”
“Sorry…”
“It’s ok. You just have to realise that you don’t know Kai as well as you think you do. He will let you know, when he’s ready…”
All three of them looked shell-shocked, but they nodded.
***
We didn’t talk about it again and they all came with me to the airport.
“Have a safe flight Ray.”
“I’ll try Maxie.”
“Tell Kai merry Christmas.” Tyson said.
“Will do.”
“And watch out for those Demolition Boys. We want you back here in one piece, and I don’t doubt they'd beat you up if they got the chance.”
I couldn’t help it, I just broke down laughing. If they only knew…
“I’m sure I can handle them.”
I’m still laughing as I give each of them a hug. I think they might think I’ve gone insane, but I really don’t care. Soon I'll finally meet my Falcon. MY Falcon, I'm going to make sure of that.
I still don’t own and the warnings are still in chap 1 =)
As always I own my soul to my Beta, Virpi. You’re the best Sis!!!
