Secure Shield
I was back in the safe house as I grabbed what I could make quick work with. In a few minutes, I was out the front door and into a taxi out of the city.
If Nikolai knew the safe house, then the family wouldn't take long to arrive. They very well knew that this would be the first place I hit after escaping the family mansion.
I needed to leave Russia as soon as possible, and I knew it wouldn't be easy.
I needed to use the unofficial channels.
In summary, leaving Russia for India without using official channels is a risky endeavor that requires careful planning, preparation, and execution. Furthermore, I was aware of the dangers I could face and taken steps to mitigate them, while also remaining focused on my goal of leaving the country and protecting my own safety.
