Stalin and Dover arrived in Canada with Princess Xu in tow just a few hours later. They pulled into a parking lot where a concert was just about to be wrapped up. Apparently, they had arrived just in time for the post-concert party.

"Sir," said Dover, "what are we doing here?"

"Visiting an old friend Mr. Dover. Visiting an old friend."

They went into the building. Security didn't stop them simply because they were all Stalin's men. After walking into the back area, they made themselves comfortable on one of the luxurious couches.

"Well Princess," addressed Stalin, "it's been a long trip and you've barely said anything on the way here. Do you have anything to say now?"

Princess Xu looked over at him. "I have nothing to say to filth like you."

"Bold words Princess."

"Tell me something Mr. Stalin." He looked over at her. "Why did you kidnap me?"

"It gets very lonely at the top Princess. Especially when you're out to rule the world." Princess Xu looked at him with wide eyes. "Why do you look so surprised Princess? What else did you think I'd keep you around for?"

Before she could answer, a crowd of people entered the backstage area. Secretly, Pina Sausage had followed them and was watching them from the rafters of the building.

Stalin stood up and said, "Rose Bacon. It's good to see you again, my dear."

Rose stopped walking and looked at him. She slapped him. "I wish I could say the same."

"Why the slap Rose?"

"You left me."

"It wasn't my fault." Rose slapped him again. "I can see you're still mad about what happened."

"You're damn right," Rose replied. "I oughta shoot you myself."

"Harsh words, my dear. I'm hurt."

"Yeah, well, this will hurt even more." Rose took out her 9mm, cocked it, and fired at Stalin's left leg. She was confused when he didn't fall down writhing in pain.

"I'm sure it would have, if my legs weren't made out of titanium." Rose looked at him with a little hint of terror. "Why else do you think I would wear pants?" After waiting for a reply that wouldn't come, he spoke again. "I believe you owe me a favor Miss Bacon."

Rose moved to the seat to her right and sat down. "What is it that you want?"

"You know what I want."

"Fine. Tomorrow. One o'clock. You know where."

"Good. I'll be looking forward to catching up on old times." Stalin then exited with Ben Dover and Princess Xu. Rose asked everyone to leave the room so she could be left alone.

After everyone had emptied out, she sat back in her seat and thought about what was about to happen. Stalin was about to become a very powerful man.
