Aleksey contuied walking. Soon he came to the river that he had crossed earlier. "Yeah. That sure worked as far as covering up my tracks." He sighed. Then he thought how Mashi out ran him so much. "I'll make certain that that never happens again!" Went through his mind, just before he took off in his top speed, trying to run faster. Every part of himself had to be perfect to Aleksey, and being out run from some strange wolf boiled inside him. He had to be better. So he ran as fast as he could. His plan was to get faster, so nothing like that could happen again.
