Early the next day, it was decided by Rita that she and her brother were not captives or prisoners for that matter. They were rescued by the Russian Peace Corp with the purpose of helping them help themselves. A nation rebuilding was the goal of these friendly forces. It was never their intention to harm them, but now it was considered a stroke of good fortune that they were chosen to begin working together with Russia.

Viktor had settled on a small room that formerly staged an assortment of signs and sawhorses near the far end of the barracks where Rita and Richard stayed. While Viktor was having the little room painted a cheerful color of white and blue, framed pictures of wild ducks, beavers, and horses were cleaned and hung on the walls. These were the motives that the two young Americans related to, and grew up with, in this state called Georgia. They were ‘backwoods types,’ as Viktor described from his studies of America.

The weather fluctuated in ways not familiar to Viktor. One day it was beginning to snow, and the next temperatures climbed into the upper 70’s. It was one of those days where the climate has been pleasant for just wearing a light tee-shirt and going on a warm Indian summer day’s walk while the paint dried in the newly remodeled classroom. With Rita alongside Viktor and Richard on the other, they casually walked along a path leading down to a small brook from a strip of forest land near the end of the taxi-way attached to one of the aircraft runways. Viktor talked about the future of America and what role the two young Americans played in getting the nation back on track once again. It would be a long and challenging task, but one he was confident could be achieved with their help.

Rita understood the reason Viktor would point at such things as trees and birds and explain the beauty in them. She also heard and repeated the names of objects he pointed to in the Russian language. Richard did so as well. For today, such things as birds, trees, rocks, and squirrels all were indicated to by Rita and Richard and exclaimed by name in Russian.

Viktor breathed a sigh of approval and smiled; for the three of them, today was a good day. Rita looked up at Viktor and returned a smile, thanking him for a beautiful day together. As a symbol of their trust and friendship, Rita gave Viktor her bracelet. It was a turquoise bracelet of small stones joined together by sterling silver wire.
