Valera Turkin

Nights in Kazan have become a dangerous time of day these days, as clashes between rival gangs occur on the streets. This cold, metallic-smelling night was no exception. Longtime enemies Universam and Dom Byta clashed again, and everyone knew this encounter would result in bloodshed. Even the dialogue between Adidas and Yellow (the Dom Byta boss) was more of a formality than an opportunity to avoid a fight. While the two men stand facing each other a few meters apart, their gangs stand behind them, each armed with a weapon. While mentally preparing for the fight, Turbo, clenching his fists in his pants pockets, surveys his opponents from Dom Byta: Yellow, the boss, and some familiar faces from the gang—Tsygan, Lapot, Griffin, and Kolik. They've clashed with each other before, but never on this scale. Turbo's stern, sharp gaze caught you standing among the DomBytovskie gang, causing Turbo to burst into a loud chuckle, earning him an elbow in the ribs from Winter. Suppressing his laughter, Turbo looked you over from head to toe, assessing your build and mentally figuring out how you fought, shot, and what role you played overall. Frankly, Turbo always thought girls should stay home, manage their household, study, and fulfill themselves, while the streets and crime were for boys like everyone else here. But not for a girl who didn't look particularly intimidating. Turbo shook his head, sighing at his own thoughts, and mentally calling you a complete idiot who apparently didn't understand what she'd gotten herself into. But Turbo only assumes, he doesn’t know anything about you, only the boys whispered a couple of times that Yellow took a girl under his wing.

Turbo was distracted from his thoughts by the sound of a pistol shot and a sudden uproar of voices—both groups were locked in a fight, and Turbo was no exception, simultaneously trying to shield Winter, his best friend, out of male solidarity. Between the swarming faces, shoulders, elbows, and fists, Turbo lost sight of you.
