The story

1

Savelov all taki has not restrained, sadanul a fist on a steering-wheel "rafika" and, breaking a vow, it is tasty matjugnulsja:

— In your mother so! Women devil's! Only on shops shastat!

In minibus salon, despite open doors, — as in an oven: though pies pitches. Vladislav Evgenevich has unbuttoned last pugovichku on a sleeveless jacket collar, has collected sweat from a neck a wet scarf, has wiped shirt edge the misted over glasses and has got out because of a wheel on will. But on an ox, in the heated asphalt street, became more sweet not — July has filled in a city with dense kissel of heat. Savelov has got a cigarette from a pack, podpalil: the smoke has hung, has begun to rock a dense cloudlet on one place.

That-and-ak, on hours already almost two. While will be going to, while will reach, while with the salary will cope — hour four will tinkle. As though on own anniversary not to be late — here hohma will be. Chyor-r-rt tear up these women! Most, whether that, in GUM to be winded? Yes unless you will throw this foolish bag with money. Tamarka has left all tyshchi on sitting, and you, all right, guard...

To Vladislav Evgenevichu today, on July, 7th, 1989, nastukalo rovnyohonko forty. A fatal boundary in destiny of any muzhik — farewell a youth! Festival was started spacious, visitors napriglashali already from Moscow. And here, please, — such insulting zakavyka. The director of state farm kajfuet in holiday, somewhere in the south, its driver, Petka, by itself, too with "volzhankoj" has a rest, and to it, to chief engineer Savelovu, it was necessary to play a role of the driver in own birthday — to carry the bookkeeper with the cashier in area behind the salary. It and in usual birthdays through passage always a compensatory holiday took and had a rest to the full extent, and here... That you and and in etak!.

However, stop! Has allowed pledge not to be angry, not to swear today — the God not gnevit. And since tomorrow — it is solved tightly — it, Vladislav Evgenevich Savelov, begins new, is perfect other life. Even opohmeljatsja will not be and then will afford a pile only for New year. To smoke throws at all. With materkami fastens. In the mornings — fizzarjadka and jogging, as Slavik Dolsky. Everything, is time to start to live humanly, the century will suffice to shorten. It has looked in a minibus pocket mirror:, bags under eyes, on temples a grey hair probleskivaet...

— Oh, Vladislav Evgenevich, zdraste! Oh, as well! You already home now?

Savelov has turned back: the little girl, small, puhljavenkaja, with a wheelchair, in a wheelchair the child stares. Nearby — an enormous bag. Who it?

— I — Galja the Bast basket. Have not learnt, Vladislav Evgenevich? At me mum — on a farm, the milkmaid, Praskovja Fedorovna...

A-a-a, — the chief engineer, — yes-yes has remembered... Hi. Here, in a city now you live?

— Yes I the second year. The Husband at me at factory, on "Electrodevice" slesarit. Here with a daughter, with Katerinoj, to mum — it is necessary to it to help with a kitchen garden... And as I have well recollected: I think, today the pay in state farm — should arrive the car to bank. And — it is exact. Here has carried!

H'm Th, — Savelov postrozhel, zagmykal. — Here it... e-e-e... Galja, it is not necessary with us: money we carry. The instruction is...

The little girl has opened blue glazishcha, has in a moment obscured their tear.

— Oh, and how? With a carriage, with a bag, with the child in the bus on Friday and not to make the way... You know...

Vladislav Evgenevich was twisted: well and day! He already foresaw, that will concede to the little girl (see, already zahljupala), but by inertia still kochevrjazhnulsja:

— Good, now will come Zynaida Grigorevna with Tamara if will agree — we take.

— Oh, spasibochki! — has risen Galja the Bast basket, has picked up on hands gukajushchuju Katerinu and has combined a carriage, not doubting at all — women will take her part.

Tamara Kuzovkina pospeshala a jog trot along uncountable columns regional GUMa, having spread wide hands with a heavy bag and a voluminous box. It is possible to think — it was torn at station to a train. Sweat filled in eyes, threatening to wash away ink, heart crashed, but Tamara fervently sang I "rub-lja-lja" for pleasure and admiration of self. It is necessary, as dexterously all has turned!

When Zynaida Grigorevna was co-ordinated behind it in shop, Tamara has thought: everything, the collective task will break. As usual, have held on to the last: today already to see off Zynaida Grigorevnu on the rest deserved, as they say, and a gift still not at all. Have reconnoitered, the truth, povysprosili office — the main bookkeeper is dreamt for a long time of porcelain tea service.

And here what it, Tamarka, nevertheless the good fellow as has thought up — not without reason Slavik all repeats, that it at it the clear head. Has enticed Zynaida Grigorevnu in gift department, has observed: the old woman both has stuck a sight to one service, and could not depart. And that! The Dresden most thin porcelain, on an is dense-lilac background a list gold, amazing smoothness of lines. Tamara has estimated: money allocated — exactly, even the rouble still remains on a tape satiny.

Has then dragged Zynaida Grigorevnu in children's department. That, the grandmother of two grandsons, was dug at once with a head in toddlers, pinetochkah, kombinezonchikah, and Tamara run, run back to service — has bought, has packed and has dragged to a minibus. The box with a gift will dexterously be hidden behind last seat so for the old woman there will be the uttermost surprise-service in the evening.

And the main thing, main: Tamara has had time to snip off in shoe shop white "lodochki" to wedding. And that all poshuchivala through alarm: the pier, here in these most adidasovskih krossovkah in what now runs, and to a wreath to go it is necessary. But here has bought: one steam of its size, 34th, also has happened — rare number. And still it — here too good luck so good luck! — in commission department has noticed for the brand new complete set of the French linen and besides tochnyohonko its size. At it a figure French — the boy the boy. Slavik in the first marriage night will be stunned: what laces, what cuts and the cuts, all translucent.

Before wedding there was exactly a week. Next Saturday it, Tamara Kuzovkina, becomes Tamara Ivanovnoj Dolskoj. Give the God! Tamara was afraid to believe till now the happiness. Also that it, the sport organizer of state farm, the secretary of committee of Komsomol, strong, flexible, beautiful, with a dimple on a strong-willed chin (uh as to singer Alexander Serova it is similar, especially when sings under a guitar!), чтó it has noticed in it, in Tamara? Its boys till now Tamarkoj yes Tomkoj klichut, absolutely for the little girl hold. And the stepfather as has learnt about their relations with Slavikom, has cooled harm: to whom, say, the silly woman brainless, you believe? At you a physiognomy a skin — he plays about with you... As, "plays about"! In a week spouses officially become. Not it to wreath Slavika has dragged, itself has offered...

Tamara, absolutely having choked, has jumped up to "rafiku", has interrupted grumbled was Savelova:

— Vladislav Evgenevich, pretty, u-u-uh, excuse! Know — to woman Zine a gift bought. Here — to hide it is necessary. It already here will be. U-u-uh! Greetings, Galja! Home?.

Only a box zanykali, the tripping Zynaida Grigorevna has seemed through road from a traffic light. On its person it was read: ponabrala piskunam the whole beremja gifts. Vladislav Evgenevich has become cheerful, has begun to fuss.

Bystrenko, babonki, bystrenko! Time presses. Well, oplja!

It has helped Gale to drag the Bast basket a carriage, a bag. All were arranged, settle. Savelov has run all over a minibus, has got up for a wheel, has given to the engine a food, has corrected vigorously points.

— Well, good luck!

In this lunch deserted time of the car for the Moscow line met seldom. Savelov, having got out of a city, has struck to gas. Now will scroll fifteen keme, will curtail on native proselok, and there to Glazkovo only eight versts. On either side of road continuous green walls with white columns of birches dense forest belts lasted. From time to time, at crossroads, they broke wide breaches and then in a gleam juicy fleecy carpets of oats were far visible, beets, young corn. The life roughly blossomed in paints of plentiful summer. In salon "rafika" at open windows pleasantly provevalo, put a smell turn green. Well, pokojno — the rest, when efforts behind and you in road.

— Zynaida Grigorevna, — for an instant has turned back Savelov, — you excuse me, but, the word of honour, I cannot spend today you.

— Where? — Sincerely was surprised the chief accountant.

— How where? On the deserved rest, certainly. After all at you the ninth, on Sunday, anniversary? Well here we also have decided suit today solemn prowaters on pension — Monday day heavy. So — prepare. I already with partorgom have discussed all. And at me, understand, the today anniversary. The brother from Moscow has arrived, for the son from Voronezh we wait... You excuse!

— Yes that you, that you, — Zynaida Grigorevna has waved dry brown ladoshkoj. — I at all do not want any celebrations. That you!

— No, no, Zinaidochka Grigorevna, pretty! — Tamara has taken alarm. — thirty five years on one place... Same time in a life happens — as wedding!

— Well, wedding and not one can be, — hohotnul Savelov. — I twice on own weddings walked.

— That you, Vladislav Evgenevich... And by the way, Vladislav Evgenevich, you home will leave, and to us with Zynaida Grigorevnoj to be answerable, yes? After all have given only half — only hundred four tyshchi. And look, in what kind: sotennye and polusotennye — that I with them will do one how to divide?

Tamara vzhiknula a lightning of an oil-cloth shopping bag also has shown all contents — thick packs of 50 and 100-rouble denominations.

— Please! Only-tolechko four tyshchi distances in tens. Well as I will give out the salary? And to whom? On all will not suffice.

— Well, first, — with authority, nachalstvennym of a voice has disposed Savelov, — to all office you will give out, that did not bark. Then — to milkmaids and cattlemen, sveklovichnitsam it is obligatory. Well, and that remains — to leaders. There with partorgom solve — to whom. To the rests explain, will receive on Monday.

Savelov again for an instant has turned back, has noticed, how it is bewitched has stared at iridescent packs Galja the Bast basket, has grinned:

— What, enormous money? Yes-a-a, here on one, and till the end of a life it is possible not to work...

Minutes five went silently. Savelov has looked in a pocket mirror:

Zynaida Grigorevna was sleepy, tended in a somnolence to knees. Galja the Bast basket, not worrying at all, vyprostala the big rich breast also has pressed become silent Katerinu to a tasty chocolate nipple. Tamara pottered about in the convolutions, got, it is visible, shoes wedding — to brag. The bag with money very quietly rolled on the second sitting.

"Rafik" has suddenly trembled, having scented brakes, has slowed down run and has started to nestle on a roadside, to stop.

— What's happened?!

To five o'clock in the evening at state farm "Glazkovsky" office all village was going to. A gossip, remarks, ohi, ahi.

The minibus with the chief engineer, the bookkeeper, the cashier and the salary has disappeared completely as if has thawn and has evaporated under the ruthless sun. The main agriculturist on "pie" already drove in a city, has learnt in bank: money, the truth in polovinnoj to the sum, have been given out at o'clock in the afternoon. Dark green "rafik" from a bank building has driven off about two is the driver of "Field" sunbathing on parking since morning has fixed. The agriculturist with the divisional have again rushed off on road to the regional centre, hoping something to find out. Have already called and in militia — business serious.

A little independently — so somehow by itself it has turned out — the office had a small group of people on which the others avoided to look: already zaryovannaja daughter Zynaida Grigorevny with the child on the hands, too crying pregnant wife Savelova, nearby — gloomy his brother and the son. It was not visible to mother Tamara Kuzovkinoj, it, using calm in office, hurried to wash in it floors. Beetle-browed stepfather Tamara kept from relatives gone hardly aside, is closer to crowd.

And here the hubbub has abated, all have stared, observing as Slavik Dolsky drove to office on the sports bicycle. It was, possibly, unique person who did not know even about ominous state of emergency. Rolled Slavik somehow strange: its forward wheel it is great obviously wrote out a monogram. White lampasy on adidasovskih trousers Slavika are soiled by greens, an elbow of the left hand krovavitsja a graze, the jockey hat with the big plastic peak has slipped on the eyebrows. What is, fathers? Yes really the state-farm sportsman and the leader of youth in zjuzju is drunk?! And the truth, Slavik Dolsky was obviously podshofe, that – not be sejchasnyh circumstances – too it would be counted as emergency.

Kolka Tulin, the nearest Slavin the friend, has rushed to inform it towards to the first news.

— Has heard, Slavik?

— That? About murder?

Tipun to you! You chyo? What murder?

Slavik it was stirred up, has strained cheekbones.

— Yes stir old women, has already heard...

— So yet we do not know nichyo. Search here — were gone. Tomka there... And you where it were cut? You the nondrinker-jazvennik...

— Yes so, casually...

And here it was distributed vskrik: «Goes!»

All were threw up, having thought — "rafik". But on a village fence has seemed dark blue "moskvichok" the agriculturist. It desperately pylil on proselku, hurrying up on all time with any message.

This message has deafened glazkovtsev. Wife Savelova has howled in a voice, has there and then choked with shout and has crashed down ozem — muzhiks and to pick up were not in time. Daughter Zynaida Grigorevny has begun to sob also. Zavshlipyvali, zaahali women in crowd. At mothers, whose daughters with kids ran now from a city, have stopped from a terrible presentiment of heart. Slavika Dolsky has started to shake a large shiver, it has begun to creak teeth, from its eyes tears, lips pokrivilo were squeezed out by a spasm. It has developed a bicycle, has dispersed, has jumped on the move in a saddle, but has broken on a frame, has not crashed down nearly, however has managed to recover, nasharil krossovkami pedals and has jerked away from people — being ashamed, probably, unnecessary tears.

— Yes ive, the Slavik-friend, — has murmured Kohl Tulin. — Here chyo the life-padla does, that it!.

The police squad has hardly found out state-farm "rafik" in four kilometres from village, behind a forest belt.

The big making a din flight has guided at it a raven. It stood closely to trees and bushes, merging with them colour. From an open door of salon the grass greens were densely dripped by blood which has already fallen asleep on heat. The dense cloud of the got drunk flies gomozilas over a scarlet-cherry puddle, hooted in a minibus. Even the worldly-wise major, the first glanced in "rafik", has involuntarily shuddered.

Ahead, having dropped half of head on a wheel, the corpse of the man has stooped. — half: the occipital part of a skull has been taken down completely, round a dreadful wound absolutely grey hair puffed up splashed with blood and brains. In salon three female corpses have been found out: the old woman, having writhed, having pressed hands to the breast honeycombed by a case-shot, laid on a floor in a blood pool. One girl sat, having leant back backwards on a sitting back, instead of the person krovavilsja at it a shapeless piece of meat. The second girl has leant a head and a shoulder against a bus wall: at it a case-shot charge razvorotilo a neck and the top part of the bared left breast. In a lap a corpse twitched and the child who is bleeding profusely — a brush of the left handle at it, interrupted by lead cheeped, hung on one thin skin...

Rings, earrings, purses — all remains at dead, the bag with the state-farm salary only was gone. Apparently, murderers (or the murderer) operated coolly. Prints of fingers does not remain, only on a floor in salon on quickly thickened blood as on wax, the sole old keda the Chinese manufacture was printed, the size — forty four. Two detective dogs in any way did not take a trace: from a scene of crime along a forest belt the path left ostropahuchaja, intolerable for sheep-dogs mahorochnaja. Militiamen have dragged police dogs on leads, hoping, that mahorochnaja zasypka will soon come to an end, and the trace will open, but through kilometre the way was interrupted with a rivulet. Dogs also have at all buried in deadlock, have gone on strike.

Enormous forces — militia, Office of Public Prosecutor, KGB — have thrown on disclosing of this monstrous crime. A key question which excited a criminal investigation department: why the minibus has stopped and has moved down from road for a forest belt? Both the chief engineer, and the bookkeeper with the cashier knew the instruction: at transportation of money is more strict it is forbidden to stop even on request of the inspector of GAI. Who their smog to stop?. Someone could. And "someone" perfectly knew this, that in "rafike" carry the big sum of money. And know about it all workers of state farm "Glazkovsky", and also their relatives could, easier speaking — all inhabitants of village from is small to is great. Plus to all about a "monetary" minibus was known by some bank employees and those their acquaintances to whom they at desire could phone the seductive information or personally. Well and, certainly, the version of a casual robbery was not excluded also — that only does not happen during today's vague times in ours gluhomannyh palestinah.

Eventually the consequence has come to a following preliminary conclusion: one person killed and plundered, it from a sawn-off shotgun of a double-barrelled gun of 16th calibre most likely stamps ИЖ-58 shot, thrust in a victim the wolf case-shot number 7,15. The first was lost the chief accountant. Then, possibly, the criminal under a barrel has forced Savelova to move down from road for a forest belt and already there has smashed to it a head After that on eyes at paralysed by fear Kuzovkinoj and the Bast basket it has recharged a sawn-off shotgun and has shot them in an emphasis. The criminal has not left a uniform sleeve, but on body Kuzovkinoj, in jacket cut, it was found out pyzh, the regional youth newspaper crumpled from a scrap. It has supported the version that the robber — local, from the.

In Glazkovo inspectors have shaken up first of all all hunters both the former convicts. And those and others it has appeared much, but any of them on Jack the Ripper has not pulled. From the others glazkovtsev the inspector of Office of Public Prosecutor was especially sharply interested by the sport organizer and Komsomol secretary Vyacheslav Jakovlevich Dolsky. First, the guy for certain is more exact than many knew, in how much, where on what and what for there has gone Tamara Kuzovkina on July, 7th before a dinner. And secondly, it strange conducted itself(himself) this bloody tragical day, very strange...

Dolsky lodged at old men Makarovyh in a spacious timbered log hut. The inspector, having appeared suddenly to Makarovym in the middle of day, has found rather unattractive picture. The fat flies curling over an untidy table, and the bright cockroaches who were efficiently scurrying about on the same table and on walls were the most live in a hut. Owners sered gave a snore day on immense Russian furnace. Their lodger, sobbing and muttering in a dream, turned on hot feather-beds and pillows in a room. On a table cups with a sauerkraut, young cucumbers, smoked fat, fried fish, dense okroshka and largely cut bread were piled up. The empty bottle from under the Armenian cognac rolled under a chair, the second, reduced by half, stood without a stopper on a table — two-three flies already bathed-floated there. In a log hut — closeness, a stench, neujut.

The inspector, screwing up the face, has parted forcibly the guy, it was presented. Dolsky has risen, has hiccupped, has twisted the grey unshaven person in a crying mine, is drunk has lowed:

— Lag behind me... I know nothing...

The inspector has not swung nearly to put in the sportsman a sobering slap in the face, but here, groaning and ohaja, grandfather Makarov has gone down from the furnace and has restrained an ardour of the visitor:

— You, are lovely-person, not trozh syodni the guy, not zamaj. Toko-toko from a country churchyard, nevestushku the has buried. Not in yourself it, tea you do not see?

The inspector, having left Dolsky (that has overturned again in pillows), was accepted while to the grandfather. Ivan Silych kept quite the good fellow, only for head clearing has asked for "public prosecutor" of favour to take is sensitive «klopovej poisons» from a small bottle. After catching of flies from warm cognac and a solid drink the grandfather has assumed a dignified air, at all pobodrel. Also has depicted a full alibi of the lodger.

On 7th of July Slavik Dolsky, as always, has made jog along the river keme on five, otmahal gymnastics in the morning, was bought thoroughly. After a breakfast it has sat down on is great and has whirled away in office — pored there over the sportkomdelami (then it was confirmed also with other witnesses). Akkurat at midday pritartal home on a bicycle a full sports bag of cognac, 12 bottles — occasionally to wedding has seized in selpo. And here is how have sat down, appears, to have dinner, here Vjacheslavy and offers: the pier, instead of whether to try to us, old men-parents, konjachok this most — God forbid counterfeit vsuchili. Ivan Silych has thought, that the guy shutkuet — after all does not drink itself, does not smoke. And that indeed: women — a large bottle on a table. Well, who will refuse? Slavik has opened, has poured on stakashkam and speech has told

— The end of soon mine bobylskoj a barchelor life. I wish to try at last loose freedom — to get drunk I wish.

Well and hrjapnuli: muzhiks it is more, Marja Zaharovna from a pile. And cognac this most — uh also is strong the enemy it has appeared. It is direct from feet brings down. So a heat still — well it to leshemu! Here is how to a bottle to be emptied, all of them three, appears, and osoveli. In a dream have hit. Had a sleep thoroughly, and after Slavik and has woken Ivan Silycha with Marej Zaharovnoj: the pier, will suffice to sleep sluggishly and immoderately, pohmeljatsja during a time. Raspochal a new large bottle, has poured to itself and the old man, and the old woman has waved hands — I will not be, a pier. Well and the God from it! Two of them that small bottle also have remained sitting — under snack of that not to drink? And here the neigbour resorts: have heard supposedly the bus with people and money was gone...

— And time? In which to hour the lodger has woken you, you have remembered, Ivan Silych?

— And as! Akkurat the cuckoo has jumped out also three hours prokukala.

The inspector has looked on hodiki in a pier, has verified with the — the old man cuckoo served precisely.

— Show me, please, footwear of the lodger.

The grandfather has quickly dragged from a room krossovki: Slavik Dolsky carried the fortieth size. Vyacheslav Jakovlevicha Dolsky and Maria Zaharovny's subsequent indications tochnyohonko have coincided with Ivan Silycha's story. It was only added to data, that an elbow Dolsky has broken also trousers has smeared with a grass, having fallen from a bicycle on road to office — has got drunk with neprivychki.

Almost year the consequence twisted-untwisted this business. But, alas, the ends and have found. The Glazkovsky crime has got to percent not opened. There was a scanty hope, that sooner or later glazkovsky the murderer vlipnet on other crime and then its last affairs will emerge. Though, of course, hundred thousand can suffice clever person on for the rest of the life.

Cunning-cunning, cool just also multiply percent of undetected crimes.

In Sergeevke new fizruka school not very much first vzljubili.

It kept on osobitsu, is unsociable. Like all at him, a handsome man the guy, and on maids and women the attention zero, in club is not shown. And in general it any foreign: here, in Sergeevke, almost all relatives between itself and who not the relative so all the same it is in a familiar way close — so a long time near, through a fence lives. And this has arrived whence from the next area, a stranger. Has bought izbyonku detached for 300 re and has begun to live the unsociable person. Though vosmiletki it would seem to director to rejoice only: in which eyelids there was an expert in a physical education, but here after all again the comma — smells slightly quite often from fizruka of alcohol. Vyacheslav Jakovlevich, not vozderzhan is weak on binge. The director talked to it and time and again, and not two, but strict measures for some reason did not apply. Soon already all Sergeevka knew: one year ago at fizruka one week prior to wedding the bride terribly was lost. The murderer and have found. Sergeevtsy, especially women, pomjagcheli to the unfortunate guy, have excused and neulybchivost, and predilection for binge.

And a little later inhabitants of village with approval have noticed — Vyacheslav Jakovlevicha's destiny like would be arranged: any good relations with Lidochkoj, Lydia Ivanovnoj managing a first-aid post have begun at it. It too has arrived recently in Sergeevku, having finished medical school, a vein on postoe at old woman Mironihi. Young men on-over vecherneju the river not for long went-walked, and by New year Lidochka has collected the chemodanishko, and Vyacheslav Jakovlevich has transported it on a bicycle in stocky hatyonku. Wedding has turned out supermodest, silent. Lidochka was detdomovskoj, Slavik the father never saw, and mother has died years to five volume. From the invited teachers-colleagues three-four persons have come, yes grandma Mironiha sat at a table still and all something cried, looking on Lidochku, and small-small secretly it christened:

— My God, rescue and save the orphan... My God, relieve it of dark forces...

In the first marriage night Slavik to death has frightened the young wife.

Visitors have dispersed early, right after fight of the Moscow chiming clock. Then there were hot embraces, the easy tears, happy laughter and — kisses, kisses, kisses. Already at daybreak, having decided to sleep, they have decided to drink on a draught for family happiness. Otherwise, has assured Slavik, to it not to fall asleep. It has splashed to cognac Lidochke is sensitive, vbuhal a full glass. Lidochka zatrevozhilas — what for, the darling? But Slavik has calmed:

— You saw, I behind a table two piles only... Be not afraid, the Lead, here now a bittern, and since tomorrow—. Simply now it is necessary to fall asleep and sleep off strong.

They have clinked glasses, once again strong-strong, before breath interception, have kissed and so, in embraces each other, have instantly lost day consciousness, have failed in a dream.

And an hour later Lidochka has parted forcibly the spouse.

— Glory! Slavik!

She has jumped from a bed, has switched on light. She was beaten by a shiver, thin shoulders under a transparent shirt shook, eyes — in half of face.

— My God, Glory! As you groaned! As creaked teeth! What? What's happened?

Dolsky has leant back without forces on pillows, has wiped a blanket wet from a perspiration and tears the person.

U-u-uf!. Something has dreamt... It is stuffy at us.

It has got out of bed so, in one swimming trunks and barefoot, proshlyopal to a door, has opened also the beginnings greedy as beer with a hang-over, to sup ice cold oxygen from senok. Heart was pushed in a throat. Nightmares, damned night nightmares — when they will run low?! These lumps of jellylike brains... Hair Growing white directly on eyes... Tamara's Agonal mad sight... Peep-crying of the child — what for, what for this child?. And — blood, blood, blood!.

Everything, will suffice — one and a half year minulo.

Slavik, Glory, you it is bad? Give, I will check up pulse...

Lidochka stood on ice to a floor, childly drawing in that one that other bare foot and crumpling a thin shirt on the ostrenkoj devchonochej breasts. Its blond locks of drop on eyes, and Lidochka continually, amusingly bending a sponge, blew off them.

Slavik has hemmed, has slammed a door, has thrown with a hook, has picked up the wife on hands, has pressed to itself.

— Everything, Lidusha, everything, the darling, now — you at me are! And soon and at all all will change... All will be o'kej, here will see! Allow ive to sleep...

Lidochka quickly, through heels of minutes, having curtailed at it near by kalachikom, and the truth already has whistled quietly a nose, is sweet prichmokivaja gubyoshkami, and Slavik, taken a sip still a half-glass, all the same turned and turned till a dawn. The skull was held apart by thoughts. The plan should be perfected, ground once again. The third has come — last — an operation stage. O-o-o, it, Slavik Dolsky, will prove to all and everything, that the clever person — the smith of the happiness. After all so, apparently, learnt at school? Fools, oligofreny vegetate only. If all life for copper pennies to spin fizrukom on different rural schools, to be wound on proselkam on a bicycle, — it is better to be hitched up on the first comer to a bough.

And the Destiny to it, Slaviku, had a kind feeling. Yes, yes! It have allocated with its mind, appearance, health. It, Destiny so has dexterously arranged circumstances as if pushed, encouraged: well, well — risk! The same sawn-off shotgun to take: almost ten years in the earth has lain. After all has guessed Slavik, being still the milksop juvenile, stibrit a sawn-off shotgun at the kompashki patsanej and zanykat. Well suspected him then, well raskvasili a nose, but a sawn-off shotgun here it, after years and was useful. It was necessary in holiday specially behind it under Novokuznetsk to go. And all these ideas with the big gym shoes, switching on old man hodikah, makhorka, profords on water to the following forest belt... And as has had luck to it, that the uniform person not uvidal it during that moment, has not marked... And as it has stood firm: only four thousand took while, and that a year later, before departure from Glazkovo...

No, it, Slavika Dolsky, naked hands you will not take — fate on its party. However, money it has appeared half less... And these nightmares, oh these nightmares!. Yes it is fine, and these thousand for many years with interest will get. And nightmares? Nightmares will stop. He is assured of it. It so has adjusted itself(himself). Sticky bloody dreams pursue it until he will not dig out money. While that it has made, is looked senseless, empty, zrjashnym. But it is necessary to use only, so to say, fruits of the business then delusions will stop. He, Slavik, in it is assured. It so adjusts itself(himself), adjusts and already has almost adjusted. After all to it at school learn. All history — the certificate to that the end justifies the means. If person basically it is possible, if it is authorised to kill — the criminal, the class enemy, the enemy, — the person in general basically it is possible to kill that...

For the sake of the purpose!

Slavik has thought over all to trifles, to atoms.

Lidochka was born on 6th of January. It just was Sunday. It since the morning has playfully-strictly sent on errands the birthday woman from the house:

— Go, go, walk, the old woman! I here should marafet guide yes the chicken to bake. Do not stir!

Marafet Slavik has guided also the chicken quite tolerably in utjatnitse zaparil, but the main thing — was switched on in time by""Sapphire"and has fixed results of 1st circulation"Sport lotto". He has in good time bought in district of 25 cards« the Sport lotto 5 of 36 », at once at all Would cut off parts and"In"and has burnt in the furnace. Then twenty of the rests"And"ischerkal anyhow, and now on five clean has accurately dirtied in all ten variants of the same number — 1, 4, 8, 20 and 32.

For denrozhdestvenskim a table — and they celebrated as agreed upon together, without visitors — Slavik has handed over to the young spouse a gift: a French perfume «Chanel №5» and 25 filled tickets "Sport lotto". He has noticed, that the spirits bought in rajunivermage and raising the doubts, have resulted Lidochku in delight, cards lottery special have not called interest. He has noticed it and has grinned.

On Tuesday evening, having opened after a supper the regional newspaper, Slavik, pressed down a shiver in a voice, as though has indifferently told:

— Well, what, Lidok, we will check up "Sport lotto"? Look — happy numbers are printed. And suddenly?

Lidochka not at once has found playing pieces of paper, it was then attached near to the husband at a table, has started to call, as in an ordinary lotto, numbers. Slavik verified.

— No... No... No... No... No... Is! Is! Is! Is! Is!!!

Slavik litsedejstvoval with inspiration. He has attentively peered at the ticket and has suddenly jumped, has shaken it in air, dancing.

Lidka! And in the second variant the same numbers are crossed out! It means — a double prize!. Stop, stop! Whether-and-ida, — he has theatrically stared. — I some cards have equally crossed out... Well!

They have rushed to look, compare, check, recheck: really — ten variants on five numbers.

— The glory, — was frightened seriously of the Lead, is how much we have won?

He has shrugged shoulders, has as though reflected, continuing performance.

— Yes like for five guessed numbers of "pieces" on ten give.

— How much it? — Has whispered turned pale Lidochka. — hundred-o-o you-y-ysjach?!

-Lead, Lead! — has suddenly become angry - the husband has shouted. — cool down! The uniform soul should not know about it! You understand? Uniform! Otherwise to us life will not be — both will plunder, and will kill...

In ten days, taking a compensatory holiday, Slavik with the sports bag has gone as though to the regional centre behind a prize. It has returned in a day with weighty packs of brand new banknotes.

The life, by itself, has turned over at once. Plans, dreams, forecasts. Slavik quickly also has easily persuaded Lidochku to leave immediately from hateful Sergeevki far away. Just in case. They also have decided to wave on a world's end — to Siberia. It so is perfect: to begin a new life, on a new place — provided, beautiful, carefree...

Slavik with Lidochkoj embraced and kissed with happiness, they danced a hopak and slapped hands together. They there and then have at once left from the jobs, having overcome all arrangements, all resistance: no, no, no, at Vyacheslav Jakovlevicha the uncle in Novokuznetsk has died, has left to it the house in the inheritance — it is necessary to go urgently. barahlo Dolskys have distributed-have given away all, and to nobody the necessary log hut-razvaljuhu have decided and to throw at all — still to waste time on trifles.

Departure have appointed to January, 23rd, for the week-day.

Last evening they felt not in the plate — always on crisis of destiny of a shower trembles and postanyvaet. To distract, relax — have opened a small bottle "Aragvi", have drunk on a path. Have then switched on the small TV which should remove for the next day for ever to the house to Mironihe.

There was a program "Time". In the world wars blazed, crimes were committed, someone killed someone... Lidochka has happily sighed, has looked at a hard black bag and has nestled on a reliable shoulder of the liked husband.

— My God, as we will happily begin to live! As we will begin to live!.

The announcer on the screen suddenly has even more become rough, was puffed up.

— And now we pass the Decree of the President of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics «About the reception termination to payment of bank notes of the State Bank of the USSR by advantage of 50 and 100 roubles...»
