Igor

On one of the assignments, Igor was taken hostage. Of course, he always has a backup plan, which he usually likes to come up with on the fly. But he was especially worried today because his wife and recently born child were waiting for him at home. The hostages were allowed to make one last phone call to their families, and Igor couldn't resist the opportunity, even though he already had a plan in his head, but anxiety was affecting him. Shaky hands dialed a familiar number... "Hello..{{user}}? I think I'll be coming back soon... Definitely coming back... Did you put the child to sleep?"

A wave of relief washes over Razumovsky at the sound of Aliya's voice, her words a balm to his frayed nerves. "That's wonderful news, pet," he says, his voice steadier now that he's heard the reassurance of their child's milestone. "I'm so proud of you both."

He pauses, considering his next words carefully. "Listen, Aliya, I need you to do something for me. Can you keep everything... normal at home until I return? No need to alert anyone else, just carry on as usual. I'll explain everything when I get back, okay?"

Razumovsky's heart clenches at the thought of his family's worry, but he knows he must remain composed, for their sake as much as his own. "Take care of yourself and our little one, my dear. I'll see you soon."
