Vodoroten

– «So far away?»

– The climate suits me. Varya’s lip was trembling. Her eyes glowed with tears. She could not stand it and clung to the transparent creature. The crystals of the Genes lit up with brighter colors. Not feeling the warmth of his body, Varya tapped the transparent statue with her fingers.

– You are zero. Gena raised his palms up, asking. – Your body temperature is zero. Gena shrugged his shoulders. Once again snuggling up to feel what she was used to, the girl felt an unpleasant sensation. – Solid water. How can this be? Where are you going now? My friend is not here today. Gena joined both palms into one fist. As a sign that this is good news. I will soon. Varya pressed her cheek against the once familiar warm body and left the apartment.

The police interrogated Varya as a dangerous criminal. – You know Gennady Stolyarov.

– Of course. We were going to get married, and he went missing.

– Not missing yet.

– He will be missing in a month.

– As far as I know, you have an active correspondence.

– It is not a fact that it is he. This needs to be proved.

– That is, you are covering him.

– What exactly can I cover?

– «Who is he?» What is he? Where is he?

– About what is he? An interesting question. I know as well as anyone that he is missing. If he had come back, we would have been together.

– The dialogue on the social network indicates that it is he.

– I thought so too. Then he disappeared. And did not appear again. Interesting facts indicate that your boyfriend is not completely healthy.

– What is wrong with him?

– I cannot say. Nothing is clear yet.

– Maybe. Varya was sitting with such a serious look; it was obvious that she was not mentally here. – After he was taken out of the water, he had a serious cut on his leg. It was going heavy bleeding; I had to bandage the wound.

– Unfortunately, I have nothing more to ask you. Varya politely left the office.

Varya flew home as fast as she could. Opening the door, she scattered her shoes and entered the kitchen dressed. Empty kitchen, empty bathroom. – Where are you? Varya came into the room. Gena was sitting on a chair at his laptop. Varya breathed a sigh of relief. – In short, the police know that you are you.

– I know. I wrote a Gene at Microsoft.

– What are you going to do?

– Hiding.

– Where? How?

– I came to say goodbye to you. I am sailing away forever. Water is my home. The lines were placed on a white sheet. To Varya’s eyes, they were blurry gray spots. It seemed to her that she was reading a death sentence.

– How? What about us?

– How do you imagine everything? I do not know who I am, and what will happen next.

– I will make you normal. We are going to the hospital. Varya’s words sounded like a conversation with herself. After the last words, Gena burst like a soap ball, splattering her and the room. Varya came to her senses.

– THIS IS THE END. She read it. Sitting on her knees, Varya looked like a novice who bowed her head in confession.

– I am sorry. It is my fault. I did not listen to you. I took a swim during a thunderstorm. The doorbell rings. Varya shuddered. Gena pointed to the door with his hand. Varya went to open it.

– Who?

– The police. Varya came in and looked into the room. Gene turned off the laptop, a second later many inconspicuous silicone snowflakes appeared on the window, shimmering with bright colors. Varya opened the door.

– Search. The police were scouring the rooms trying to find clues.

– What are you looking for?

– We do not know ourselves. The interrogator said with a laugh. Varya humbly watched the search.

– He is not here.

– And what is this? The interrogator pointed with his hand at the girl’s wet clothes.

– I was washing the tiles in the bathroom for the holiday. I have the right. Varya was confident. It is, as he does not understand what is going on.

– Is there a tile in the room? Where is the TV? The interrogator pointed with his hand at the wet TV.

– I spilled a basin of water when I was washing the top of the closet.

– It does not look like it. The interrogator raised his voice. —Where is he?» The interrogation turned into an ore. – Did you wet the keyboard too? The man pressed the button. The laptop was turned on just that.

– I was listening to music.

– And hastily turned off the laptop with wet hands. And you listened in the Word program.

– I will hire a lawyer. You are slandering me.

– And you are good. The man approached the girl in a tight. —You are too smart for your age. The tip of his finger lifted the girl’s chin. At that moment, one of the snowflakes fell off the glass.

– I do not live here alone. I have witnesses that Gena was not here. Is the wet floor proof?

– For your wet friend, this is direct proof. Alternatively, do you think I do not know who he is? I saw a video of him robbing a store.

– I do not know what you mean. And here is a wet friend and a store. And what I have to do with it. What are you even talking about? Are you out of your mind?

– We will meet again. Do we understand each other? Isn’t it? The interrogator looked intently at Varya and reluctantly left the apartment. As soon as he came out, Gena found himself next to Varya. The doorbell rings again. The gene has disappeared. Varya hastily wiped the wet floor.

– Who?
