***
Stas was sitting by the window with his eyes closed, fingering the rosary in his hands. The apartment was quiet, harmony, peace. But in a second he was blatantly and rudely disturbed by a very extravagant way. Stas immediately felt the raging flood poured ice water, God knows whence undertaken. Soaked from head to toe and managed to catch a feeling of chills, he came to. Before him stood Dean with an empty ten-litre bucket.
– I told you not to get in my head, didn't I? Next time, it won't be water, it'll be acid on your head. You know I'm not kidding.
– Dean, it was a necessary measure justified by the Stas. I can't understand anything. The chief has instructed me to visit every four hours the consciousness of our new friend, and report on the results that where as. He's unpredictable, so dangerous. And I've been trying to do it for fifteen minutes without success. You went to Thailand together. What's the matter? Why are you alone, where is she? I can't track his location, his thoughts, anything.…
– I left him on the island, let him think a little about how to communicate with the ladies. Report, you say. Necessity, you say? You must have forgotten that the world invented cell phones and fortunately I have one. Call was impossible?
– Have you seen your phone lately? When you turn it on, pay attention to the fifteen missed calls.
Dean pulled out his cell phone, he was really off.
– Okay, I'm sorry, but about the acid – you know, I'll do it. Look for other ways to communicate. But what happened to the Roofing is really interesting. But even more interestingly, I was also asked to report on it. I was just at the chief with the report when he blocked external influence. I knew it was you, even though he didn't say anything. I had a couple of hours to wander through the urban jungle, had lunch with a charming boy at his expense. Girls it is easier. Sat down, smiled, babbled some nonsense and it's yours.
– Why are you doing this, you earn enough? – neponimayusche asked Stas, removing wet nepodatlivuyu t-shirt, lipnuvshuyu to body.
– I earn normally, I just want to know whether I still keep the form.
– Stinker.
– Thanks – said Dean smugly. She went to Stas, pulled off his wet shirt, then passionately joined his lips, and then whispered:
– I on island, I'll take a look, where there our Prodigy.
Stas remained in the apartment alone.

Barely a minute later, after the extinction of the Eldar, as Anatoly on the shoulder gently laid a hand – turning, he saw a smiling Dean. In contrast to what she left the island and what stood before him now looked very impressive. Bright red lipstick, hair, gorgeous evening dress with a large slit on the back, manicure. Heels twelve centimeters sunken in the sand of the coast.
Miss me? – not the with malice, not the and why with interest asked she.
Anatoly replied uncertain look.
– I made a reservation at the Eiffel tower restaurant. I want to make it up to you. I was out of line. Recognize. From now on I will try to be more accurate on turns.
Somehow after this phrase Anatoly remembered about the girl Julia helped him four months ago:
– It there alive and well. Worn because like crazy – flashed the thought.
And just immediately Anatolia have twisted my left little finger.
– Stas-understood he.
T-shirt, shorts and slates, in which Anatoly arrived on the island is not too suitable for the secular table of one of the best institutions of Paris. However, he did not waste time dressing up. Dean took his hand and in a moment they entered the great hall of the restaurant. Waiters and some visitors did not hide their surprise. Indeed, against the background of coats and suits, tourist outfit did not fit into the surroundings. But five minutes later all was again minding my own business, not paying any attention to the awkward couple.
How about here? Dean asked.
– Nothing, thank you, I am pleased your attention and care.
Nothing? It's Paris! The most expensive city in the world, one of the best restaurants in the world. I wanted to impress you, but you didn't?
Anatoly didn't answer.
– Okay, sorry, I snapped again. I just really wanted to make you feel good. You're hungry, I guess, just something we want.
Dina began to study the menu served by the waiter.
I'm not hungry On the island of wonderful fruit from the Bush, here are all imported, only the prices… Let's just for a coffee and some dessert – they offered Anatoly.
Dean is clearly offended, but tried not to let on. She understood, that all these feasts Anatoly "until you."
Having made the order, sat silently until it was executed.
– I'm leaving from you, DIN-some gloomily said Anatoly.
The girl looked at him in amazement.
– I have nothing against you, I have done no evil and I am not going to. I just made that decision.
Dina looked down and said,:
– I will not talk about the income that you will not earn anywhere else in such a volume, about the team, cohesive and, perhaps, the best, about the noble mission of the Corporation. Just one thing. You can't not understand that such places do not go?
I understand your point, Dean. Everyone makes choices. I made mine. My further stay in the "Anime" will persistently go in parallel with the deal with the conscience, I do not want that. All I had to do for the company was do it. Then the road forks.
Dean pulled out a Notepad, something they wrote without looking, tore off a sheet and handed it to Anatoly. There was written:
"I would have left long ago if it was possible. But there's no way out."
Then she burned the piece of paper from the candle on the table, razmolodin in the ashtray the remnants of ashes.
– Everyone makes the choice – Anatoly repeated-I made the.
After that, none of them said a word. After completing the thwarted event, with depressed mood Dean sent a colleague in Novosibirsk, where silently embracing goodbye – gone. On her cheeks the tears…
***
Ismat studied the last dialogue of Dina Anatoly, not looking up from her eyes, flipping through the subconscious frames of perception, as if looking for someone close during their last conversation.
– I did everything I could.
– Cccccccc ' cried the chief, raising his index finger.
Another moment it is something hard touched in memory of Dinah, then asked:
– In restaurant while you communicated, this ordinary-looking man approached to a bar counter. Now look, when you said goodbye to him in town, that same man walked right past you. I think that if we raise the archives of memory, over the past four months it will be possible to meet a number of times. And every time he's out of sight, it's only visible from the back.
Ismat moved away from Dinah, with a glance at the endless horizon.
– Someone was in charge of our Shred all the time, and even the detective was not tracked. Means serious business. Maybe it's for the best that he decided to leave us. More contacts with him do not have, do not touch and do not remember. Yes, and of the liquidator, the release was delayed with the peace-loving approach of our, now former, freshman… concluded the chief.
***
It was almost dark when two cars came together on the outskirts of the city.
Haven't seen you in a hoarse voice said liquidator "Anima", referring to a co-worker who was trying to cope with the recalcitrant seat belt and leave the car.
– Well, well, the issues were addressed without us. Looks like we're out of business – replied the detective.
– Yeah. I invited you here to make things right. You can not know the main competitor of Ismat.
– You mean Wahoo? Of course, I know him, and personally.
– I met it this morning-the liquidator told.
Why? You know we don't welcome that, right?
– I know, but we used to execute orders every month, now we have four months of rest. You can't take care of yourself, nobody will. I'm tired of sitting on my hands. Waha is very concerned about the appearance of a new employee of Anima in the General" arena". He picked up some material regarding this character, and this material did not leave him indifferent.
So? – inquired the detective.
– You and I have an order from Waha. Close the question on the Shred, two birds with one stone kill. First, we will earn, and secondly, we will eliminate the competitor who pushed us, thereby again we will provide ourselves with work.
– Why does Vakha want us to do it, he has his own specialists?
– That's just the explanation. If it is done by the people of wahi, then Ismat, who is somehow too fond of this guy, can start a trial. He will give the job to you, and you calculate the work of a competitor. The exacerbation of relations is now unnecessary. And so, you will not find anyone and all.
– Why you with Vaha think that Ismat will sort out this issue? I heard a little bit of us was leaving.
– Yes, I, too, heard, but, not known still leaves he or not. Such workers are not very eager to let go. Ismat can think of something to lure him back. In this regard, it is not reliable. And the second thing is that this is a good time for you and me. You and I know that Tolik is leaving, so we have no motive to bring him down. We do not think.
– You know that Ismat if you wish to view and you and me and the whole story to see doubted the detective.
– You're being cautious. Well, Yes, the profession obliges, I understand. Can. But has he ever done this before with us?
– It seems not, at least, this issue was not raised.
– So why is he now the two of us to shake – this time. Two is that Bit can be hidden so that nobody will not know that he was gone or that something happened, is not to know, therefore cannot be reasoned with. And three-look at this!
The liquidator turned the sheet of paper and highlighted with a flashlight:
– This is the amount that Waha is willing for us to pay for the operation. If Yes, then fifty percent of cash you can take from it. He's waiting for.
The amount was really impressive. Given that the income of the filer and the liquidator and so far exceeded the average set in this area, this amount beat all records.
Filer is slightly hesitated, finally agreed. Indeed, all the arguments provided looked quite convincing.

Anatoly Packed in a rented apartment, met the landlady handed over the keys and payment for the next month, although it was only the twenty-second number. He thought about whether to return to his hometown, at least-now. How to react to friends, buddies, ex-colleagues, who are probably still trying to find him. What he says. To stay in Novosibirsk, too, not too much like the memories of this city were not the most pleasant, in view of the unfolding events in the background of life here. He decided the last time to walk through the Park in the city center, which was located within walking distance from the rented apartment. Having laid near a Park bench two sports bags filled with things, Anatoly said goodbye to the city, looking at the fountain when suddenly heard familiar squeal of wheels. Into a Parking space flew the red car from the open window, which seemed familiar silhouette.
Need a ride? – shouted with undisguised joy girl in white gloves…
***
– How did you know me, met just once, and then, after all this time – said Anatoly Julia, realizing the offer was impossible to refuse, ordering a coffee and servings of ice cream in the Park cafе.
– You don't know. It's not every day you fall on a strange personality, carrying intriguing nonsense – the girl did not stop smiling – then, you know me, too. After all, not forgotten, not forgotten!
– Remember, that's right. You played an important role in my life, saved me, you could say, so I have a good reason to remember you.
– Oooooo-shrugged Julia embarrassed.
– How did you end up here?
In my Novosel girlfriend lives. More precisely lived. Last time I came to help her to stay and settle down. And now came to help move out. Well, to see clear. It is generally from the North came at the time of study. Study did not an Hour ago I held her to the airport, that stopped, finally, at the center of the circle to give, but back to the family nest. I'm from Tomsk.
– How much did you travel to meet your friend?
– Two hundred kilometers is nothing. The track is my element.
– Yeah, I noticed last time.
Both smiled.
– Well, what are you doing here?
– Good question, Julia.
– Again fell down, lost consciousness?
– No, this time I'm conscious, but I do more do nothing. And that Tomsk is a beautiful city?
I'll show.
Anatoly slyly squinted his eyes. After all, fate is a funny lady. Know in advance is not interesting, all right…
***
– Here is in General, if short, but essentially, I have a similar the situation with your girlfriend. I came here for work, but somehow it was not set from the beginning. Now I think where to go, where to arrange a family nest-told Anatoly, while the red car carried him to Tomsk.
– Don't you have any family? – Yulia asked.
I'm orphanage. Early went to work, lived in a hostel. So, I have acquired neither family nor a home…
The speech of Anatoly had more to do with the tragic note than positive, but to Julia it fell more than liking.
