Nikolai overheard some of what was going on. He decided that he would just place the food out and sit. When Joseph and Alexis came back, he said, Breakfast is served and tucked into his food.

 

[celestialdragon]

Joseph nodded, a little more willing to understand Nikolai, and sat down and started eating.

Alexis smiled and kissed Nikolai's cheek. "Thank you, sweetie," she said as she sat down and tucked into her food.

Questions and conversation flew back and forth and when breakfast was done, Alexis cleared the table and started washing the dishes.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai and Joseph sat at the table, awkwardly not saying anything. When the dishes were done, Alexis walked in to dead silence, since neither man knew where to begin.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Well, what shall we do today?" Alexis asked the silent men, happily. She hugged Joey from behind and then went over to kiss Nikolai's cheek.

"What haven't you done?" Joey joked, sticking his tongue out at his baby sister. Alexis returned the gesture.

"Well, Nikolai wants to go hunting," she said, stroking Nikolai's hair. "So maybe we can do that, as long as the two of you promise to behave."

Joey shrugged and nodded. She knew that he didn't trust the strong Russian she was enamored with. "Yeah, I'll behave."

 

[bindingeagle]

Hunting sounds good," Nikolai said, relieved that the silence was broken. Here was a chance to get out in the woods and actually shoot again. He went into his bag and dressed in his camoflauge fatigues (after seam ripping the USSR patches off). He returned ready to go. "Well since all of our toys are locked up, we need Alexis to get them." he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Joey chuckled at Nikolai's comment and looked at his sister.

Alexis smiled. "Tell me what guns you want," she told the two men. "I'm grabbing my Mossburg"

Joey facepalmed. "Alexis. . ."

"Don't 'Alexis' me, I am a big girl. Now tell me what guns you want."

"Fine." He cited a Ruger rifle.

"Thank you! And you, Nikolai?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

Remington, twelve gague," Nikola said, not hesitating in the least. He was ready, and whether Joseph wanted him to be armed or not, he wanted to get himself a deer.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Alright!" Alexis said, kissing Nikolai's cheek and sashaying off to go change into her hunting gear. She grabbed both of the boys' guns, grabbing her gun with Nikolai's and grabbed extra ammo. She walked back in and handed both of the men in her kitchen, studying each other, their weapons of choice.

"Allons-y!" she said, opening the door and bowing them out.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikola helped load the weapons into the car and climbed in the back seat so Joseph and Alexis could catch up. On the way, he relaxed and watched the wildlife out the car window.

 

[celestialdragon]

Joey was glad that Nikolai was in the back, and the two siblings caught up. Alexis told of her time in Russia, excluding the times of passionate sex with Nikolai, except where Lydia was concerned, which is where Joey spat his drink out.

"You did WHAT!" he sputtered.

"Please, not in the interior," Alexis chided him. "And yes, I did. A lot of the stuff that happened with that little brat was my idea."

"You do realize you're now fucked, right?" big brother asked, a worried face appearing.

"Relax; I'm a professional. I have the next two months off, and I plan on spending it on vacation in Sin City."

Joey shook his head and glanced back at Nikolai. "You, sir, have the strangest girl on your arm," the brother told the lover.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I'm not complaining, whatever wasn't her idea was mine," Nikolai casually responded, trying to freak Joey out now. "The bitch was, they wanted us to go back in and get her but Alexis put her foot down and said we needed off. Isn't that right, Snow Princess?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Indeed, Rusky," Alexis responded as Joey spat his drink out again.

"Snow Princess? What the fuck has the world come to? You don't even let me call you Princess!" Joey said, shocked.

"It's like what Daddy did with the whole 'Princess Buttercup' thing," Alexis explained. "And besides, it's kind of cute."

Joey shook his head. "You're either drunk off your ass, or aliens came and did a brain switch."

"Joey!" Alexis exclaimed, slapping her brother's arm, keeping an eye on the road. "You're mean!"

"Only because my sweet baby sister is being crazy."

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai saw a sign for the turnoff. "Looks like we;re almost there," Nikolai said, "Are we hunting from a stand?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Never!" Alexis laughed, signalling the turn and they went onto the gravel road to one of Alexis's favorite hunting sites. "I find stands boring. No, I stalk my prey. I learned how to from the best," she said, looking over at her brother.

"Dad was better at it than I was," Joey said.

"We'll stop the vehicle here," Alexis said, stopping at a smooth patch on the side of the road. "And I already see a herd up ahead."

She turned off the engine and the three started getting out.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai loaded five shells into his shotgun and waited for Alexis anj Joey to ready up so they could get down a walking order.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis and Joey armed up, then Alexis motioned for the two to follow her, the tracks looking fresh and they stalked their prey and Alexis immersed herself in the hunt.

They came across the herd and Alexis gave the halt order. She quietly told Nikolai. "Aim for bucks; killing does is illegal. Nail them in the throat; if you get them in the heart, it spoils the meat."

She took aim at a six-pointer and fired. The buck dropped dead without a sound, since she had equipped all guns with a silencer. The herd still fed without noticing a fallen comrade.

Joey fired, but missed. "Dammit," he grumbled. "Nice shot, sis."

"Thanks."

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai scanned the herd looking for antlers when he saw it; an eight point buck, wandering out to graze. He took aim and squeezed the trigger. the deer jumped from the sudden shock, the fell over from instantaneous blood loss.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Good job!" Alexis whispered, kissing his cheek. Joey rolled his eyes and took down a four point buck.

"Good one," Alexis muttered. "I think we have enough venison; you're taking yours home, Joey."

"Fine by me," Joey said.

Alexis motioned for them to scatter the herd and they collected their prizes.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai dragged Alexis' deer over to his and said, "Hey Joey, can you get a picture of Alexis and I together with our deer?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Joey smiled and did as Nikolai requested.

Alexis made a face. She hated having her picture taken.

"Let's get the meat loaded into the truck," she said, hoisting Nikolai's buck over her shoulders.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai used a drag rope to pull the other two deer out. He also loaded the deer in the trunk. After the firearms were packed u, he yelled, "Shotgun!" and hopped in the front seat.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis laughed and shook her head. "Sorry, he called shotgun," she teased her brother.

"That's fine, sis," Joey said. He nodded toward the man in the truck. "You're right; he's a good guy. You choose well."

"Thanks, Joey," she said, kissing his cheek. "Now get in the truck, we're heading back."

The two get into the truck and Alexis backs out and they start to head back to her apartment.

 

[bindingeagle]

When they got back, Nikolai and Joey began cleaning and processing the meat. Nikolai was glad that Joey had finally accepted him. He looked back up at Alexis, watching the two of them work together, and wondered what she might be thinking.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis was packaging the meat, laying whatever came from the four point aside for Joey to take home but stashed hers and Nikolai's right away into her freezer.

When they were done processing, all three of them need a shower. "I'll go first," Joey said, nodding toward Nikolai. "Give you two kids some alone time."

Alexis rolled her eyes but nodded. "Sure, you go do that," she said.

Once he was gone, Alexis looked at Nikolai with a smile. "Did you have fun?" she asked him.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Yes, lots," Nikolai said, kissing Alexis. then he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Remember how much fun it was almost getting caught? How long does he take?"
