Oleg listened to the defeat in his son's voice. No they had to do something. There was no place to go. Nothing that was going to keep them safe. "Crisya and the little ones can go to her mothers. It's in the country, Your mother can finish off their schooling."
But he shook his head as he slid off his perch and walked to his son and wrapped his arms around him. "But Vanya you aren't doing this alone. Maybe there are others - enough of us to see this through. You'll need to be careful. She has eyes everywhere."
Oleg pulled Vanya against his chest. "Your mother and I are so proud of you. We love you son."
