Chapter 3
Leonid careful not to wake his wife, moved on the floor of bedroom slippers hand, and trying not to rustle and do not make unnecessary movements stuck to their feet cozy fur. Then, carefully got out of bed, stepping softly, went into the kitchen. Turned on the light. On the kitchen table was a cell phone. He took it in his hand. Long look at the keys to figure out what to do with them and how to be in this situation. Then he looked at the wall clock. The arrows on them showing 1 hour 30 minutes. With a wave of his hand and dialed a number. In the tube were long beeps finally beeps stopped, and Alexei’s sleepy voice answered: – Yes! I’m listening!
– It Krazimov good night Alexey!
– Good night! So do not wait, out with all the purity of what happened?
– You will not believe it, I was a guest today. Anya about it does not know anything, but guest knows all about the lab, and about what we were doing!
– It can not be! – Garin exploded. This meant that the career of Lieutenant General came to an end. At least he shines a pension, or worse yet, reduction in rank for the disclosure of classified information. In the tube Leonid heard a sniff of a general. A minute later he was no longer a sleepy voice said:
Immediately, get ready! So today was in place and reported in full form as a leaked!
– Comrade General, may I ask?
– Ask? – Garin snorted into the phone.
– The cause of the implant is implanted, our funds were not able to detect it, so there is neither my nor your fault not.
– And where did it come from, damn it!
– Guest said that I still have it implanted on the ship during the flight! – Leonid lied to save the reputation of the General. In fact, he did not know where or when this implant was implanted and the funny thing, which of the staff. Leonid risk and exposed himself to danger in suspicion, he says the truth or not. Everything now depended on whether it is in the body of this implant or not. A proof of his innocence, and General will now only the fact.
– That’s all?
– That’s right!
– Carry out the order!
– Yes! – Leonid turned off the cell phone, put it on the desk, sat down on a chair in meditation.
«Only the start of the holiday. It’s only been five days and on you!»
The kitchen door creaked entered Anya:
– Are you awake? – Her sleepy voice came to her face and combed hair, curled on his head in an intricate knot. Leonid unwittingly admired wife, enchanted by her voice and sleepy views heard what she was asking. Anya repeated the question:
– Can you hear me? Are you awake? – Her voice sounded anxious tone. Only anxiety in his voice made his wife back to reality:
– I? Oh yeah! Let’s go to bed! – He decided it yet say nothing, say in the morning. Let him get some sleep peacefully.
Vodicka, wanted to have a drink, that’s gone into the kitchen.
– And I really thought something was wrong, and you’re going to run away.
They went into the bedroom and climbed into bed. Again, this indescribable aroma emanating from her tender body, the hair and the timbre of her gentle, almost childish, and such a natural voice, and everything in it, Leonid plunged into the fabulous world of love, boundless and strong. Before they reach their thirties, Leonid could not imagine that there is any strong sense of how the mutual love between two hearts. Boundless and pure as his love Ani and his to her…
Morning dawned on the windows of the houses the first rays of the warm April sun. The air smelled of spring already. But even on the streets of Moscow in the shade of stone walls lay dirty snow and the sidewalks were wet. At the bottom of an endless string of moving vehicles and the first pedestrians hurrying about their business. Leonid woke up early and doing morning exercises on the balcony, watching the panorama opened to the twelfth floor. It was six in the morning. Anya finding an empty bed, rolled over restlessly under a blanket, finally waking up. She got up, went to the balcony in a cold terry- cloth robe:
– I feel that something has happened! Anna out with it! – A stern voice that brooked no objection, she ordered.
– Anushka – he came up to her and gently hugged her close to him – I immediately ordered today to fly to Baikonur.
– I knew – she sighed bitterly – but nothing could be done. That is your fate, Leonid Krazimov!
Plane in the twelve- zero- zero! – Put it in a famous wife.
– You know, come there to Elsa Edwardovna, tell currant jam, I cooked for her recipe, let evaluate and make recommendations, maybe something is wrong.
– Well, of course, pick up everything that you think is right within my weighty case.
Yeah, do not worry, I will gather, and grilled chicken are now charged in the oven.
Charges were short- lived. When things were stacked in the case, Leonid went to the baby, kissed him and patted on the ass:
Mum- to listen, Dima, do not be naughty! – Anya moist eyes and trying to hide the tears Nakata, she quickly said,
– He does not know anything else, a little!
– Ah- ha! – As if agreeing with the words of Ani, uttered kid that parents find it quite amusing and amused. Anna spent her husband to the elevator and there, at the elevator, they were long, kissed until Anya shoved him through the open door…
Alexei Garin stood with his back to his desk and looked out the window. In his office, it was the only window. It took almost half of the wall and reached the ceiling. When the general sat down at his desk, the window was behind him, and the entry of visitors could see the faces of the general, as the light from the window, closed it. But the general had seen every line on his face entered, and on his face read everything that was written there, and in what mood entered the visitor stepped into his office.
So it was at this time, with one exception. In Krazimov entered the room.
– Let me enter! – Barely crossed the threshold, Leonid blurted. Alexei pulled away from the contemplation of the window, went to meet:
– Why this officialdom, Leon! – He embraced Leonidas, patting him on his father’s shoulders – How is it we are so missed with this implant, and!
– Who knows. Why instruments can not detect the presence of a foreign body?
– None of these devices yet, my son!
– What do we do, Alexei?
– Search! – Krazimova he patted on the back, adding – Ultrasonic technique is the only thing that we can try. Come with me!
On the way into the body of physiotherapy Garin said that he was assigned a room on the third floor of a residential building there that he will be able to stay until the completion of the surveys. At that Leonid said:
Here at the cross- Dima, Elsa eduardovny, well, remember, you were baptized with her Dima is a free tiny room, I could live there.
You know, Leon, as you will be more comfortable, and arrive. And with Elsa Eduardovna we have developed on this basis are strong and friendly relations. We’re kind of like family now.
– Thank you, Alexey!
Soon they came to a physiotherapy body, which was located next to a residential hostel for patients given a room where Krazimovu. Inside, they were greeted in a white lab coat and invited to the office for examination. In the office in the middle of a spacious room with large windows, almost the entire wall, stood a massive aid in the form of round and long metal construction with automatic retractable table.
– Take off your clothes to shorts and go here on this table of this unit on the belly. – Ordered the lab – We look for aliens! – With an ironic smirk said not without biting humor lab. Leonid followed his instructions. Silently undressed and lay down on his stomach on a white enamel surface cool table.
Handles place, please along the torso, head to the side! – Recommended laboratory. Leonid could not resist and asked:
– On which side to turn his head left or right?
– And in kindergarten, how you were taught to obey all that said, educator, or you can come up with something different? – Caustically remarked laboratory. Leonid decided not to anger Proud technician, who sat at the control unit, and began to press buttons, carefully looking at the computer monitor. The machine started working electric motors, making a muffled metallic noise. The table slowly crawled, taking Leonidas in roundness design. Next to the laboratory on a chair and sat General was watching TV and laboratory manipulations. When the table is pushed completely into the unit, laboratory launched reverse Leonid table and began to slowly move out of the hole scanning unit.
– Well, there is something or not? – Impatient, fidgeting in his chair, the technician said Garin. Laboratory assistant general angrily glared at her gray piercing eyes, a moment in silence looking at him inquisitively. The body of Leonid half of the unit seemed to have when he finally spoke:
– And you, Comrade General, rather than try to be clever, I myself should be a sin scanned. Anna undress and to place this patient!
– How are you talking to me, son? – Calmly, without which promises nothing good for general laboratory began to speak.
– Excuse me, Comrade General! But you know, the work brought to a nervous attack!
– And what you, the young, so enraged?
– From the generals called again! Of Political called two! Of the General Staff called three! From the…
– You think you’re the only one – the general did not resist, wailing broke the technician – Do you know how much calling me about it, I already had my phone shut off!
– I sympathize with you! – Not without an ironic smirk replied laboratory.
– You better tell me how you dignify that?
Lieutenant Alexander Filimonov medical service!
– Somewhere I heard that name I do not remember where, but it was also spun on my lips.
You know, in Russia, such as names, like dirt on our roads!
– Well, you wicked boy, I mean the lieutenant of medical service!
– I wear? – Asked the technician slezshy of Leonid nominated a table.
– And what is the lieutenant Filimonov say? – Ironically smiling, looking at the laboratory, the general said.
– Get dressed! – Sighed lieutenant of medical service, and you, Comrade General, coat off and on the table instead of Col. Krazimova!
– This is what else, I even think you’re ordering? – Insolent eyes glaring laboratory, almost in a raised voice a loud commanding voice replied the general.
Yeah I do not, but I have with paper of Staff of the Space Forces!
– Anna show! Why did not I know about this?
– It says that for purposes of secrecy from aliens! – Smiling maliciously, filed a laboratory blank sheet of Staff with a letter addressed to him by the medical service of the rehabilitation center. Garin took the letter and began to read. Yes, the technician was right there and so exactly that means. Garin realized that he no longer perceived as a host of areas of space exploration, once treated him like this:
«Really it is necessary to write a resignation?» – He thought ruefully, as in hearing, he added, – Come and Explore me, lieutenant of medical service, Filimonov!
Leonid had already dressed, and stood to the side, curiously watching the actions of general. Garin rose heavily and began to take off his clothes. Then, barely hoisted his fat body on the table and took up a position as to lay it Krazimov.
After the procedure, a general, dressed, said:
Well, out with it lieutenant, what have we?
– You have found two implants on the forehead, in the so- called the third eye and one in his right ear, on the ear lobe.
– That dirty dog, that was a good review, then to the side and straight!
A Colonel Krazimova implant on the left hand near the wrist, there are usually wrist watches.
– Prepare me a report on the study and pass them by hand to me. To give information about it, who else, forbid! If any of the higher command would insist that link to me, tell me that General Garin has forbidden me to divulge information, call him! Got it!
– Yes, Comrade Lieutenant General, there is!
– Well, that’s ladnenko! – A satisfied voice, the general said, and drew Leonid output. They took to the air. Here in Kazakhstan has stormed spring. On the first warm proklyunulis wildly blooming poppies and bright flowers of cranes, including roadside greenery. Swollen buds on the trees and the smell of spring, the distant fires with a fine aromatic odor faint smell of kebabs here.
Well, what do you say to that? – Asked anxiously General.
– I would say that it’s a bluff! – With a straight answer, Leonid.
– How so? – Garin wondered – Senior staff officers will bluff, is that it?
– I would not say that this staff officers! – Leonid quietly uttered. Until Garinova word began to reach his companion.
– You know, you’re right! Guest can come up with anything and any voices speaking on behalf of all principality and fabricate any piece of paper, like this letter.
Of course! – Leonid agreed.
– And then I thought I clash, to demand an explanation!
– I knew right away that it was a bluff, but did not want to speak for the poor fellow laboratory technicians!
– Leon, are you now removed the stone from my soul, you have no idea! Let’s go to my place, I got in the office has a concealed brandy, so drink after such a thistle!
All right, Alexey! – Krazimov agreed, thinking:
«To Aunt Elsa, as seen today, do not get me!»
In the familiar general’s office, Garin, a conspiratorial wink, Leonid, closed the door to the inner castle and went to the safe, standing at the window near the desk. Garin tschatelno curtain window curtains and opened the safe. There was a bottle of good French brandy and two faceted glass. He rattled put brandy on his desk, he sat down on the green felt table. Then picked up your office phone:
– Hello, Mary, have today there is nobody there except the lieutenant of medical service. When he comes, call me. Clear! – Having waited for a break, obviously Mary confirmed that she understood the order, Garin evil hung up on the spot. Phone rang hysterically from the blow, and there was silence in the room. The general, without getting off the table, unscrewed the cap and poured brandy to the top of the glasses:
Well, son, let our dreams for all the good and wonderful! – They clinked glasses. Tilting brandy, drank big gulps as drinking moonshine, and not partake sustained by all the rules of compounding, a sophisticated drink small sips and drink before savoring his mouth, sniffing the fragrant smells of fields, grape vines, oak barrels and the most grapes coming of beverage. Garin, drained his glass, got down from the table and returned to the safe. Digging there, got sliced sausage Moscow in a vacuum bag, cut the packaging with a penknife and having spread the newspaper «Komsomolskaya Pravda», put it on the packaging:
– Help yourself!
– Thank you! – Leonid took a piece of sausage biting drunk. Garin filled the glasses again. They drank again. Garin grunt on an old man, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, said:
– Well, that seems to come to mind in order to meditate and you can! So here’s what I think! All the same, those that are listening to us, and hide anything from them you can not, then we say openly!
– We will, getting drunk, chimed Leonid!
– First of all, we need to get rid of the implants!
– Get rid of! – Leonid assented, is not really knowing what was going on, as he almost did not use alcohol, and drunk after two glasses of forty- degree drink it fairly razvezlo. Suddenly the phone rang:
– Yes! – Blurted out loudly into the phone Garin – Now I will open, Let him come! – He again got down from the table and walked over to the gait of a solid cabinet doors. Double- clicking the lock, which stuck keys, opened the door and let the lieutenant Filimonov.
– Let me enter, Comrade Lieutenant General! – Blurted out, Lieutenant, only slightly crossed the threshold of the office.
– Cleared! Well, what have you written all as it should be?
– That’s right! – He opened his daddy for official papers and filed printed on the official letterhead of the conclusion of the rehabilitation center. Garin carefully read the document, and then put it on the table, next to the unfinished bottle of «Bourbon». He took the bottle and poured into a glass of brandy:
– On, drink to the health of your superiors!
Filimonov, mash his feet, took a gulp brandy and drained his glass to the bottom.
– Thank you! Let me go!
– Go! – Garin closed the door behind him, and went back to the table. Leonidas at that time, was sitting in a chair, his head was lying in his arms, and hands on the desk of general.
– There was a weakling, our hero Russia, Colonel Krazimov! – With these words, the general poured the remnants of the bottle contents into a glass and drank it down to the bottom…
Chapter 4
Leonid woke up in my dorm room on the third floor of a residential building. He had long recalled how he ended up here and where it is now. Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Called General Garin: – Krazimov listens to you, Comrade General!
– Do you feel like it, eh? – A loud voice asked Alexei.
– Normally, potashnivaet lightly!
– Near the entrance is a refrigerator out there, at the door, see if there is alcohol, I’ll fly and come to me! I’ll be waiting!
– Yes, Comrade Lieutenant General, and undergo treatment to you!
– Do it! – The tube broke off, it sounded short beeps…
Leonid osolovelo, looked toward the door, to the left there in the corner was a small refrigerator. From this turn his head, suddenly someone invisible was the hammer a nail in the head. In his temples pounding instantly, rolled to his throat choking lump, threatening to break out. Leonid heaved himself out of bed, stepped in the lead- footed slippers. Nausea, ready to explosive volcanic eruption, wave was rolled with a bang, treacherously the approaches to the throat. He quickly ran to the sink, dropping his sneakers on the run with his left foot. And just before he could reach, like all eaten and drunk yesterday, a fountain splashed into the sink, making it easier to state accompanied to this unbearable headache and bruised. Having dealt with the eruptions, Leonid lifted his heavy head and looked in the mirror. There he saw a strange type, with a shaggy head of hair sticking out in all directions hair. Blearily gray with tired eyes with heavy bags under his eyes and a brazen, arrogant and looked at him, Leonidas. Still not quite sober, Leonid wanted to ask this type:
«You’re who?» – But, recollecting himself, he realized that it was he who looks at himself in the mirror. From his appearance, he came to. Thoughts instantly sobered up and began to stand in a logical chain. He suddenly remembered to visit Elsa Eduardovna and pass transfer cooked Anya. He grabbed his head with both hands. Pain again reminded of itself, growing with the new juggernaut, arousing discomfort in the throat. He suddenly remembered the call Alexei. Overcoming the renewed pain in his head, he came out of the bathroom and opened the fridge. There’s a door on the shelf was a bottle of murky liquid plugged stump of a head of corn. He picked it up, took an impromptu jam. From the bottle hit the sickening smell of strong brew. Overcoming nausea and disgust, Leonid attached to the neck of his mouth, and trying not to breathe, two swallows. Liquid hot wave stealthily through the esophagus, wonderfully dragged behind a sickening the gathering in his throat com, somewhere down the stomach and headache miraculously was speeding. Objects in the room and began to play purchased clarity paints wallpaper on the walls. Leonid, smiled, stood a little, not moving, getting used to a normal state, then stuffed cabbage heads bottle and put it in place. And it boldly and clearly began to think about their primary business. He picked up his cell phone, dialed the home number:
– Yes! – I heard the voice of the native Ani – You do not call that I vyzvanivaet you all night, not sleeping! Why do not you answer the phone, because it’s a mobile phone, it is always with you!
– Anna, forgive me for God’s sake! We yesterday with Alexei Alexeyevich a little drunk and I could not call you!
– He does not drink! – Anya did not calm down, – You, where roamed? – Sobbing, asked his wife to upset feelings.
– I’m sorry! You can ask Alexei. He will confirm!
– Do not doubt, ask! – Short tones in the receiver was notified that the conversation is over.
– So! – Said Leonid himself – one thing done! Now we have to somehow pay a visit to his aunt Elsa. Before he could finish, the phone rang:
– Yes, I’m listening!
– It Garin! Well, like my son, are you?!
– Thank you for your prayers!
– Well, that’s ladnenko! Now let’s get ready kA and me!
– Yes! Comrade General!
– All you thirty minutes! – And short tones on the handset.
Leonid, dropping the robe, went into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, fresh and cheerful, he is already out of the room…
The general stood next to the table his secretary. The girl was in the form of the captain of the Space Forces of the Russian Federation, and her name was Mary Zarudnaya. Garin gave her his orders:
– I will be out all day. So, Mary, will not receive. You, as always, commit all urgent matters and report back to me tomorrow as usual. Clear!
– Yes, Comrade General!
– Well, that’s ladnenko!
At this time the reception came Leonid.
– Let me enter, Comrade General?
– Here you go, Leon, come on! Actually why not pass! We’re going with you now! – He turned to Masha Zarudny:
– You understand, Captain?
– Yes, Comrade General! – Straightened to attention, snapped the captain of all the rules of the Armed Forces.
– Take Action!
– Yes!
He went out into the hallway from the reception, he was succeeded by Leonid.
– We’ll go to our lieutenant of medical service Filimonov. He warned and is waiting for us. Will retrieve the implants.
Along the avenues through which they passed, the right and the left have already made their way tulips. Their fresh green shoots here and there raspustivshiesya buds blush, eye pleasing, competing with red poppies.
In physical therapy they met Lieutenant, in a white coat:
– Good morning, Comrade Lieutenant General!
– Come on, officialdom! – Stopped him Garin – You better tell where we’re at this time?
– It would be necessary again, so to speak for the purity of the experiment!
– What do you mean? – Alert the general.
– And then, Comrade Lieutenant General, is that no one knows where, and that the two of you had that night!
– Well, if medicine insists that let repeat!
They were again ultrasound scanning. At this time, there were no changes, and new implant was observed.
– I congratulate you! – Could not restrain himself from saying lieutenant – on you is nothing new.
– Well, then, what’s next?
Next, sit down here on the chair and, with you, Comrade General, and let’s start! – Putting on rubber gloves and rattling instruments on a glass shelf on wheels, which in turn have been placed on a sterile cloth after a sterile cabinet. When everything was finished manipulation, lieutenant with a syringe with a dose of pain medication went to the General:
– Comrade General, tell me, what is your tolerance for anesthesia?
– Positive!
Well, then, let your forehead. – Lieutenant made a shot in the place of the forthcoming operation, – We must wait a little. Implant under the skin near here just do not get it would be difficult.
Leonid he sat for another chair, and placed his left hand on the table, behind which was the workplace of lieutenant. By doing Krazimovu anesthesia began operations in general. Baggage patients with a good hour, which resulted in lessons and thrown on the enamel surface of the medical sudochki three triangular objects that look like tiny metal oskolochki. Implants are in the form of miniature pyramids the size of a pellet from a hunting cartridge and were all similar in form of execution. Their graceful and pointed to the right edge of artificial origin. Alexei carefully considered the lessons implants through a magnifying glass while saying:
Well, I must! When it was inserted in me and how I did not notice and did not know about it! Yes, Leon, we really are dealing with a serious opponent who not only sees and hears us, but our thoughts and reads. And in general makes us all he wants. – He paused for a moment, and again with the new one considering implants, then grimacing in disgust, he added, – disgusting myself feel experimental cattle, do not you, comrades?
Lieutenant Krazimov and silent, stood silent and bewildered.
Garin and Krazimov were in deep thought to the residence of Lieutenant General. The two- storey building stood in the back of the park, reached by alley, lined with tall poplars, begin to dissolve your kidney. Spring breeze, filled with invigorating scents inspired hope and faith in themselves and in the best of times, which will come anyway, I wanted to believe them. They were met by captain Mary Zarudnaya:
Comrade Lieutenant- General … – Garin stopped her:
– That’s what my daughter, I now do not take action, as I told you!
– Yes!
They proceeded to the already familiar office. Garin took out a new bottle of brandy, began to fill thick glasses.
«Where is he taking this cognac?» – Leonid thought.
– Come on, Leon took a sip lastly a drink! – And do not wait for Leonidas, he drank to the bottom of his brandy.
– Alexei lastly at what you have in mind?
Yes, the one that is here now with these implants, I certainly will trample the army. – With sadness in his voice began to speak compassionately General. Leonid realized that the general waiting comforting words which he shall speak Leonid.
– Alexei, and I think that our business is not quite so bad.
– How so? – In the voice of General flashed hope.
– The fact is that in the material world in which we live, this highly developed civilization, no miracles! Everything is subject to the laws of the material world. It may be that we have and some do not own, but the fact that it is so I do not doubt for a minute. So we can conclude that this fact brings us together, it is time. – Leonid slowly put down his glass filled with green felt table at the General.
– Secondly, if the stranger could read our minds, then the hell, I’m sorry, hell, he would take us to implant these implants? – With these words the general’s eyes glistened:
– So it turns out that we can not be afraid of these implants is not that we are listening to say anything?
It turns out, that is!
– So it’s a different matter and put things on its head. We then there is no need at all to hide our thoughts and reasoning, and indeed openly talking about our projects.
– With the exception of one!
– Well, tell me!
– Except for the fact that none of those present did not have these implants implanted themselves and their did not have nowhere in the room or in the air or near places where the discussion is conducted our secrets and secret projects.
Well, you, Leon done, you literally pulled me out of retirement, I was about to serve. – Garin was kindled spirit, corked bottle of brandy and put back in the safe.
– We are still with you Alexei povoyuem.
– Tomorrow I will write a report to the Academic Council of the problem, and then together we will decide what action can be taken on the problem. That’s it, my friend, for decades to ignore their presence. As the saying goes until roasted cock in ass Russian guy does not bite man does not scratch his!
Yes, it’s true! But you also know that the presence of the higher ones in general and in academic circles close to the government, is not it?
– Did son, and ignored, arguing that they do not interfere in our affairs, ignoring the fact that the company is mass kidnappings of them. Ignoring the fact that the interference is inexcusable in our airspace and in the airspace of other countries, other facts and other interventions. And now these implants here! – He looked at a glass filled with Leonidas, untouched by them. Picked it up and threw it in the water dispenser in the bathroom that was graceful for having driven there from the door of the cabinet. When the general returned from Leonid told his wife on his cell phone, which insisted to speak with Alexei Alexeyevich.
– Anya asks you to want to talk about! – Leonid gave smarfon general.
– A, Anna, hello, darling! How’s my godson is faring? Excellent! – He paused, listening to what Anya says – Yes, he’s here in my office. And yesterday we had a few drinks, well, Anushka since you forgive him, I promise! – General made another pause – then said – well I let go of it! – Ending the conversation, he handed over to Leonid up, saying this:
– Asked me to tell you to finally went to Elsa Edwardovna, promise! – His laughing eyes and a kind smile, decorated with full and round face general.
– Yes, Comrade General, perform!
From General Leonid came out fresh and brisk pace, heading to the hostel for a gift Elsa Edwardovna. After earning her mobile phone, soon heard her voice:
– Yes! I’m listening!
– It’s Leonid! Hello Aunt Elsa!
– Yes! Hello, Lenichka! Anya called me yesterday, asking about you!
– I’ve brought you something from Anya.
Well, why? I’ve only got here so full, nowhere to go!
– Elsa Eduardovna, there is such a thing, well, how would you test Anya rents.
– And, of course, a different matter!
– Mind dawned a bit of free time and I have finally been able to visit you. If you can, then I’ll come back tomorrow morning.
Yes, yes, of course, when you Lenichka wish. I’ll be waiting.
– Well then, see you tomorrow!
– See you tomorrow, Lenichka!
Leonid, ending the conversation was already on the steps of the hostel. He walked into the lobby and quickly rose to his third floor. Entered the room and, left, at last, for a single, long look in the mirror in the bathroom. From yesterday’s overly drunk face was gray, rumpled, nestled wrinkles that ran from the corners of his eyes and fanned fleeing at the temples. Mieszko sagging triangle pointing downwards, his eyes bleary look splashes missing eye- «What a mess! – He thought – It is necessary to wash your hair and get a good sleep!»
He undressed and got under the jet of warm shower, gently lifting his bandaged left hand, trying not to let water soaked bandage flies away from the body spray. Soaping his right hand, the hair on his head, he washed the foam shower, then the right hand ter head. Having washed, felt relieved, as if a stone had fallen from his shoulders. He was easy and relaxed. He put on his robe, came out of the bathroom and climbed into bed under the covers, instantly fell asleep. Wall clock at that time showed 19- 00…
