Who: Freddie and Anatoly What: Molokov is a fucking creeper and it's time to catch him in the act of doing creepy things so he can get arrested and go bye-bye. Which obviously means FREDDIE and ANATOLY are going on a stake out. THIS CAN ONLY END WELL. When: BAAAAAAAACKDATED to Saturday night Where: Starting in the complex lobby, then a car and around Lawrence Warnings: ........Freddie and Anatoly are in a fucking car together stalking Molokov. Obviously they can only get into a fight of some sort and be ridiculous. So um. Rated C for Chess Drama.
One way or another, Molokov was going down. Despite the help from the trusted authorities, after the dead flowers had arrived, Anatoly wasn't going to sit around any longer. So obviously his first stop was to ask Freddie Trumper for help. Why he turned to Freddie, well, it was obvious, really. Freddie knew Molokov and knew Molokov wouldn't expect the two of them to team up. And part of the plan in fighting Molokov was to keep doing the unexpected. Which...frankly Anatoly hadn't exactly been doing much of since he and Svetlana were mostly on the defensive, but he had gone to some trusted authorities with everything he'd had all ready. But he knew Molokov too well, and the authorities here would not move against the man quick enough. So it was time to take matters into his hands to get definitive proof of illegal things Molokov was doing. They needed the smoking gun that would get Molokov arrested and put somewhere he couldn't get out of.
Grabbing the digital camera he'd bought, Anatoly headed down to the lobby at the agreed meeting time. The camera had video recording capabilities on top of just taking pictures, so it would be perfect for what he and Freddie were going to do. He'd told Svetlana what he and Freddie were going to be. Of course he knew Svetlana would be worried no matter how much he told her not to worry. Which is why he didn't tell her to not worry. He just assured her that he would get something on camera that would lead directly to arresting Molokov and get him out of their lives.
Stepping into the lobby and having dressed properly in dark colored clothes, Anatoly spotted Freddie. He still didn't like the man, but he was putting differences aside in order to get this taken care of. Nodding in greeting as he stepped up to the American, he slid the shoulder strap of the camera bag onto his shoulder. "I'm ready when you are."
