– I understood-sharply responded Tier.

– Well, it was nice working with you, there is a need – will use again....

– I have to disappoint you, Natalia Igorevna, I will not be able to appeal to me anymore!

– What's up,you're done?

It's easier. You're my next order.

The woman has not had anything to say and maybe even understand the words. The bullet passed easily through her skull.

After a while the police of the city of N received one more call from the smart Villa where the housekeeper the cooled-down hostess was found.

– Comrade captain, we have two "wood-grouse" for the week was formed. Maybe view of things, because You have grip special, maybe that sweep, something of a catch – asked the investigator to his boss.

– Leave it there, now I've been summoned to the General, then see what's what.

Captain Isaev really had an extraordinary talent to find the nuances in the details and unravel the case with those, at first glance, irrelevant factors that do not pay attention to others.

– Captain Isaev arrived On your instructions-he reported to the General.

– Hello, Igor Semenovich. Come on in, I'm talking to you, off the record.

The General pulled a small bottle of brandy, put two stacks, a little bit spilled.

– You know, let's not resolved the first time to voice his question General. He picked up his stack and emptied it all at once. Isaev did the same thing.

– I see, something happened-on-friendly asked Isaev.

– Yes, as you say… it couldn't find the words – General in some way.

Isaev understood that the matter in General it has not standard. There was excitement and jitters in the words of the General, although he was a very stable emotionally man who had seen a lot.

– Three days ago, we got a Bolo on a man suspected of major fraud. "Dripped" on him from the top, so I had to raise all. Two days later,we found out who he was, where he was, sent a group of four fighters. An hour after departure, none of them got in touch. We sent two more cars. Kept in constant contact with them. Arriving at the place, they reported that the car of the first group stands at the entrance, no one inside. Two people were left on duty at the building, the others went up to the floor, rang the bell. On the channel of constant communication we heard a click of the opening doors then everything disappeared. These guys have also stopped communicating. We sent one of the attendants to the floor, following the group. He didn't find any signs of a struggle or shooting. The door was closed, no one was there. It was quiet, no sounds behind the door could be heard. We told him to wait at the door. Sent snipers and specialists with the thermal equipment to the next building. In two hours we received the following conclusion – in the apartment only one object.

Watched him until the morning of today, his behavior was no different from a simple man in the street. Something was cooking, ate dinner, read something, sleep. Nothing out of the ordinary, which is strange. And in the morning he came to the secret division of the head office, although we do not advertise. Where he learned about this place is unclear. Told watch that he was waiting for. Of course, we ordered a skip and an escort to the interrogation room. Several of our investigators tried to figure out what was what, but nothing came of it. He seems to be answering questions, but so that the investigators themselves lose the thread of the conversation. Four hours was wasted and nothing was achieved. In addition, leaving the interrogation room, each of the investigators felt a sharp decline in forces. Now they are all under the droppers rest. It's hard to say anything articulate.

General was silent.

"Interesting," replied the captain.

– In General, we need a person who could talk to him sensibly, substantively, make a report, write down all the necessary information. So far, we'll see.

Is he still in the interrogation room?

Oddly enough, Yes. He didn't even try to leave. He's waiting for. I don't know what he expects.

– Or someone-added captain.

"Or who…" replied the General.

Isaev arrived in his Department in a state of mixed feelings. It was decided to extend the time-out until the morning of the next day. If the object leaving is to put a tail on him, if continue to wait, to communicate with him myself Isaev, if he don't get up in the morning a worthy replacement. The prospect of getting under the drip after the interrogation is not too tempting, among other things in this story featured many variables.

– It seems that the object is really something of itself. I did not ask the General about the reasons for his detention. What does fraud mean? What is meant by this. Leaked it to "the top", but it is not their method. As a rule, they solve problems with the objects of their experiences on their own, so they are not "too tough". What happened to the two operas of the band? And why did he come in person? His behavior before coming to the Department is also atypical. Something's not right here… – talked about himself the captain, coming up to the Desk, where he waited for two cases left by the investigator.

Now the captain was not to grasp the essence of the left, had one urgent task to the rapidly expiring term of its performance.

In the morning… okay, it is clear that to interview except me no one else. Who else will I find in a few hours. It's almost night. Can we deal at least with these Affairs investigator, and in the morning come what may – the captain decided.

After reviewing the case, Isaev immediately felt something familiar about the handwriting and the nature of the killings. The level of persons who were liquidated, was rather high. Not many people were in the area who could fulfill these orders. Of course, this could have been done by a person from another region, but the inner instinct told Isaev that he was not mistaken in his intuition this time.
