– 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 café.

– 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?
