Book-7. Edem, novella

Anna said nothing, only smiled slyly and said yes, insisting on the:

– And that’s it. I will not go all! And my scholarship in the years ahead will suffice.

– Something you’re not telling me, Annie? Yeah, you got the same letter, and I lied, what is not?

– We read together the letter and it says, about a hiding place in the house of Elsa Eduardovna, but not here with Dima.

– You’re weird, or what? A safe, in which neither be in a Moscow bank, where you had time to visit and took some of the money.

No, it is not so! However, the money you will have. I’ll give you each month by thousands of dollars.

– Well, thank you for this!

Anna did not take offense. The money we need. We need to find our guys. And I think that where there appeared to be yours and my Lenya.

– What do you mean?

– And what of the letter, Elsa Eduardovna mentioned Antarctica.

– Are you sure she’s telling the truth?

– Have you forgotten already, Anna, as an investigator Smirnov, remember to mention it to our inquiries, Antarctica?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I remember. So they were there. A threat out there who have heard Garin and Elsa Eduardovna it that simple?

Anna, you know, something tells me that your Peter and my Lenya needed there as experts in space travel, and they’re on the job.

– Yes, it seems to be true. At the same time there.

– What do you mean?

– And the fact that the extra ballast they do not hold.

– Oh, do not hold? And how Garin and his wife?

A Garin surely secured the support of our guys.

– How? – Asked Anya.

A so that if the General and his family something to happen, Peter and Leonid will not work for them.

– Now your story is similar to the truth and I am afraid that we cannot find space there.

– Even as there! – Anna’s eyes shone strongly. It seems to be that it is prepared to immediately move on foot and even in the forty- degree cold of Antarctica for their Petya.

Anna, we will not need them. – Make an attempt to cool the hot passion of Sobinova Anya – as long as we do not know about our husbands.

So, we must find a way to contact our husbands, otherwise this trip to Antarctica will come out to bite us.

– That makes no sense. How do we let them know that we have enough money to rent an American Sixth Fleet and throw it on the former German base in Antarctica. – Complete the dialogue Anya.

Yeah, you know how to pull at the wound patients. – Anna sighed. Break off a chicken leg from a fragrant fried carcass, was chewing, biting into slices of white meat. Women are no longer talking. Silently, finishing dinner, they went from room to room. Anya, going into the bedroom to her son, she saw him sleeping in street clothes. Careful not to wake him up, stripped and put him under a blanket, then lay down by herself. Sleep did not come to her. In different thoughts crept into my head. Built extravagant plans, and broke like crystal stemware on a cement floor, unable to bear the smallest argument. In the end, she began to fall asleep, plunging into the troubled dreams. She had a beautiful garden. The trees were in bloom and bear fruit, and at the same time. On a branch of the same tree hung ripening fruits of unprecedented, and which is not the usual form. Fruits are published enjoyable and delicious flavor, but such that excited by a passionate desire to rip ripe and then eat it. Hand she reached for the nearest branch. Suddenly emerged from the thick leaves of the snake’s head. With a terrible hissing snake wrapped around his arm and dug her teeth, sharp needles. Anya shivered. I woke up in a cold sweat. Instantly, finding himself in bed, drew a breath of relief. Near the peaceful sniff son in a dream finally calmed the woman.

– I dream about the same! – In the hearts she said, almost inaudibly. Then rolled over on its right side, and fell asleep again.

– Mom, Mom! – Anya’s son was pushing, trying hard to wake up the sleeping mother. – You, why do not you go to work?

– Son, I’m not going to go to work.

– And what will we live? – As already quite mature, well- worn veteran, said Dima.

– Do not worry, we have enough.

– You have to lead the kindergarten?

Yes, my son, let’s get going.

After charges are laid on the floor an hour, they are fun to run out of the house. Dima did not cease to be amazed change in the mother’s mood, and he suddenly became too easily and freely at heart.

From kindergarten on the way home in a familiar ATM Anya took off another thousand dollars and come with a money back home. Anna sat in the kitchen and drank strong coffee.

Well, Annie, you’re something promised.

– I do not remember. – When removing the coat in the hall, she replied Anne. – Remind Me!

Ah, do not you remember? – Appearing in the doorway of the kitchen with a steaming cup of coffee in hand, with iron tone of voice Anna continued, – A monthly fee of one thousand dollars?

– Oh, that! And we are You so much? – Laughing teased her Anya.

– And you have them? – A question with a question answered Anna.

– Yes!

– I do not believe until I see.

– If I had promised. – Anya pulled out of the side pocket of a jacket stack of hundred- dollar spear. – That’s it! – Handed her friend. Anna could not believe his wealth, and asked in surprise:

– Are they yours? – She continued to stare wide- eyed like a madwoman on a pack of bills in his hands. The words stuck in her throat, tears in their eyes.

– Excuse me. I was thinking that you’re making fun of me for my miserable existence and the general … – Anna did not finish, began to sob. Anna hugged her to him. Stroking her back comforting words:

– Well, well, do not. Now we do not perish.

Anna, like a little girl wiped her tears with his fist. Then pulled out a pink terry robe handkerchief and blew her nose loudly. Already cheered up voice said:

And, let’s change the outfit?

– What is it?
