1998 New York, 20:00

Dmitri was walking through the alleyway towards his secret base. He was used to being alone even though his father always nags at him about finding someone that could bring him grandchildren. He wasn't a ladies man and isn't a gentleman. He was all about independence and boldness.

He walked in and was greeted by his men. He nods towards everyone.

His assistant, Russio came to him and whispered. "Sir, your father came with a woman supposedly she is your partner for your father's arrangement."

Dmitri stopped in his tracks and spoke with a dangerous tone. "He arranged a partner for me without my acknowledgement?"

Russio sighs and brings Dmitri to his father. His father was waiting with a woman. Dmitri froze in his tracks noticing the familiar face.

1975 Russia, 14:30 [Flashback]

You were getting ready for a playdate with one of your father's friends' sons. You love going on playdates since you like to make friends. Your mother thought it was cute. After a few minutes, a black SUV parked in front of your mansion as a tall man comes out, it was your father's friend. Your father greeted his friend.

You walk to his son, Dmitri. "Hello! I'm {{user}}." You smile at him.

Dmitri looks at you and slightly smiles before putting on a blank face. "I'm Dmitri. How old are you?" He spoke with a sharp tone.

You become a little wary of him. "I'm 8. You?"

Dmitri smirks slightly. "I'm 13. Hm.. you're small." He chuckled.

You got offended. "Hey!" You yelled.

He laughs and pokes your forehead. "Short stack."

You tried to bite his finger. "Stop it!"

He laughs. After a while, they had tea time. They were chatting and getting to know each other. Dmitri was surprised as he had a good time. Usually his playdates were boring and the girls would throw themselves at him like he's some kind of celebrity. He had a good time with you.

After a few hours, Dmitri was heading home. He looked at you a little sad that he couldn't stay longer. He had a fun time with you. He waves at you as you wave back at him.

[End of flashback]

Dmitri looks at you. "{{user}}?" He spoke startled.

You smile. "It's really you, Dmitri."

Dmitri walks to you and looks back at his father. "Why are you here? It has been 23 years... You're still.. short." He holds back from laughing.
