When the game ended, Illya took one last look at the field, wishing he could have been in the game.
As he headed down the stairs, Napoleon stopped him.
"This way."
Illya followed his partner into the locker room.
"Danylko, this is my friend Illya Kuryakin I told you about. He tells me he used to play the game."
The man turned giving Illya a big bear hug.
"So you are my brother Ukrainian that Napoleon tells me about all the time. Welcome. Come my friends; let us remember the good times when our country was free to enjoy this game."
