See ya sucker's

It will be hours until the next stop, Heim had to think of a way to get away from these guys, his eyes lit up and Heim left without a word.

Then he came back with two bottles of whiskey and four shot glasses, Heim said a toast to friendship, then all four slammed the shots,

next toast of things to come, then once again all four emptied their shots.

Heim held off for a few minutes, then let's see if they are still light weights it didn't take long before the two got drunk, after one more toast and those guys started to just chug straight out of the bottle, after that bottle was gone both of them got really loud and obnoxious, after a few insults from one of them Heim reeled back and fired an incredibly strong punch and knocked out one then the other.

Damn those two are so annoying , as Heim and Franz put one in a bed and then the other.

Gather your things we are out of here , I don't want to be around if they wake up.

All three carefully got their stuff and were heading to the front of the train.

They waited patiently and quietly.

Fifteen minutes till the next stop Heim let out a sigh of relief .

The time passed by slowly then the stop approached Heim gathered their stuff and was the first one out the door. A man was walking by and Heim asked where are they and the man answered Aqtobe Kazakhstan he thanked him then Heim got a taxi and said they needed to go to the airport. They are so close a plane will get them to the Ukraine before they had to refuel, the worst is if they had to refuel in Georgia Russia

fuel is astronomical in Russia.

The airport was dark only a few buildings but alot of planes also its around two in the morning so hardly anyone was around Heim found a single prop plane that carried alot of fuel and was a four seater, all three pushed the plane to the fuel island and Franz started to do the check list on the plane , Ben was standing by Heim and asked him if he could fly the plane, nope was his response but Franz has 2000 logged hours flying that made Ben feel better not by much but still felt a little better. So were stealing the plane Ben asked, no we are borrowing it stealing means keeping it we are borrowing it for one trip

and that's it.

Ok Ben replied, the pump stopped and they pushed it to the runway they got in then started the engine a night flight with no runway lights can you do it Franz, just like the old days he said and lights were coming on and they can see people looking at the plane Franzs gave the plane full power and the plane took off like a rocket it was a newer plane so it had alot of power take off was a breeze.

Wow this plane is quick it felt like it reached cruising altitude in no time, wow Franz said what asked Heim well I hardly have to use the throttle and we are going pretty fast, that means we might be able to make it to Poland or Czechoslovakia before we have to refuel. But we are not going that way we are not going to Germany we are going Austria, we can make it to Kyiv Ukraine, and fuel great we wasted alot of time already and I don't know how much longer she has left. Heim you ok asked Franz, yeah I am fine, I saw a tear you thinking about home, yeah home, home with my wife that is home.

Heim was quiet on the trip just staring out of the window not saying a word he glanced over his shoulder at Ben who had been asleep for a couple of hours now, thinking I hope his blood will save her even if I have to use every last drop

I will. Soon it was midday and Ben woke up and said hey Franz hit that duck so I can eat, Ben started to laugh and Franz couldn't crack jokes anymore not since his friend died he just lost his joy in life Hanz made things funny and Franz just went along with it.

As Franz was day dreaming Heim reached over and pulled the stick towards Franz that made Franz instantly wake up from his day dreaming, as he realized Heim saved them from hitting a mountain, thanks said Franz I was thinking about Hanz and just thinking about the good old days.

Two hours later and they were in a podunk little city the airfield was small and the choice of food was even smaller, Ben slopped down some kind of nasty soupy stuff and bread, the plane was fueled then it was time to go Ben went to the bathroom and came back out, for some reason Heim was very anxious to get out of there.

Only three hours to Vienna Heim said, and then Franz gave Heim a high five.

Since they weren't worried about being stingy with the fuel Franz had that plane humming at full throttle and the saw Vienna in an hour and forty five minutes later.

As they were landing Heim looked at Ben with a huge smile and said we are home.

That smile made a chill run down Ben's back, but Ben gave a smile back anyway just so he doesn't piss off Heim.

On the airfield Heim haggled with a man about the plane then the man disappeared and reemerged a few minutes later with a stack of cash Heim didn't even count it , why would he, it cost him nothing but he is selling it, Ben didn't open his mouth he knew he was in Heims territory now.

They took a taxi to one of Heims friends home where Heim bought his jalopy of a car.

After fueling the car it was a three hour drive, to god knows where, it was out of the city and in a mountainous area,.an old home made out of stone it could've been a castle but it was too small, it was huge but not castle huge.

They stopped in front and Heim got out and stretched his arms, then a butler came out and greeted him Heim told Franz a town a few miles away and to wait there for a couple days before coming back, Franz shook his head yes and looked at Ben and said good luck, as Heim ripped Ben out and carried him up stairs .

Ben was tied to a chair with one arm outstretched and tied to the arm of the chair,

Heim what are you doing Ben asked he didn't say a word but got a blood bag and a needle and tube ready, Heim squeezed Ben's arm until the blood veins popped out and he pierced Ben's skin with the needle and into his vein . Ben never seen so much of his blood leave his body passed out.

Heim woke Ben up by putting him in bed, why did you do that, I just needed some of your blood, dont worry you still have some.

The amount of blood he took was enough to make Ben so tired he couldn't move a muscle

it even hurt to blink, I will get you some food but for now rest I will explain what happened just rest , sleep wasn't easy for Ben he had a strong feeling that something was missing he felt tears well up in his eyes but he wasn't crying, he had no reason to.

Ben closed his eyes dreaming of playing with a bear not only playing but hugging and kissing the bear, Ben dreamed for five days.
