Book-8. Diplomatic corps novella

Chapter 1

The hotel’s restaurant, which included, Anya Krazimova with Dima and Anna Sobinova at this early hour there was no one. On the door was still hanging a sign saying in Spanish «CLOSED». In an empty room was already laid a single table by the window. They marched right up to him Politely smiling in a white apron and the white towel on his right hand, they hurried waiter on duty, especially the administration left the restaurant early for their service at the request of background. Fiers it was not. Obviously, Fiers has decided not to bother with their presence and enable women to be alone.

– Do you think Annie, this Fiers very suspicious character?

Anya, gnawing a chicken leg with his mouth, something not clearly mumbled in response, continuing to chew.

Anna, swallowing saliva, and he began to eat. Soon she forgot her question, drinking tart dish Chilean red wine. Dima did not want to have. He greedily drank orange juice poured by the waiter in advance, and reached for the jug with juice, intending to fill the empty glass. But this process is interfered with Anya, who has already managed to chew:

First- eats the small fish, then you will drink a juice.

Dima looked bored stewed trout with mushroom sauce, and said:

– Mom, I’m not hungry.

Anya looked questioningly at her son still sleepy, took pity and poured him a glass of orange juice jug. Dima was greedily drinking another glass of juice. Having finished until the end, said:

– Thank you, Mom!

During the meal no one noticed as they were approached background Fiers.

– Hello, ladies! Bon appetite!

Anna first responded to the greeting:

– Hello, Mr. guide! And we are tired of waiting for you, not pleasing to have breakfast with us?

– Thank you, I have! So I’ll wait for you in the jeep, right?

Yes, yes, of course! – For all Anya said. Dima also impatiently said hurriedly:

– Mommy, can I have with my uncle Firs?

– Yes! Come on, what’s wrong about it!

After receiving official permission, the boy ran around behind the retreating figure of the guide. Women are left alone, food washed down with strong coffee.

– So that’s what I, Annie, that is too much going smoothly with this guide work. After all, you, when you went to a travel agency, there is no word, no one, not even mention some guide that we should follow in Dignidad?

Anya, took a sip of coffee, for those with a reflection moment, replied:

Yeah, yeah, you know, I just realized that this question did not come. What we bring to Dignidad ordinary bus, where we will have to introduce the prison administration and show here these invitations.

She rummaged in her bag and took out a colorful three blank invitations at all.

– Let me see it? – Anna took the invitation, they turned it over in his hands.

You know, I checked the route that are moving in the direction of the colony, it is exactly the same, so long as we’re going in the right direction.

You know, that Sobinova, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

– You, Annie, do you want to say whether that will be, but we still will move with this guide, and where do we go?

Members and still a prominent big man, protection, minimal kind, and all the rest. But the most significant thing is that the hotel is aware of who and where we are headed! – Tried to disperse fears girlfriend, not a little alarmed by Anya. From these words, Anna has calmed down. Fear seemed to have abandoned her. Calmed down and Anya. And absolutely dispelled fears when women saw a smiling good- naturedly Firs, holding on her lap Dima, who both hands clutching the steering wheel jeep and spit it, then left, then right. Both were so passionate about what did not notice the woman, hiding from the rain on the heads of the sexes strained jackets, approached the car.

– Here we go! – Opening the door, said Anne. Fiers, gently put off the boy with his knees on the seat beside him. Anya picked up and Dima transferred to the rear seat, and she hoisted near Firs.

Well, what can go? – Anna could not stand, calling sitting next to the boy.

Yes, ladies! – Answered Fiers, starting the engine. – We’re going to go in the direction of San Carlos. The road goes further south. There, in the Coastal Cordillera mountain range, is the purpose of our visit.

– And how to go there? How much longer? – Restless Anna started asking question after question Firs, distracting him from the traffic.

By my count, one hundred and fifty miles away. But given the rise in the mountains, the rate will be much lower than on the highway, on which we are now bode move, and eventually after three hours we arrive at the place.

Outside the window, flashed groomed cabin houses Talca, which raced past the jeep, splashing rain puddles, almost instantly form a whipped by rain from the sky. Pour over oncoming passenger cars SUV fair portion of splashing, but the car had a high chassis and spray fell on tires and bumpers. A trip to the rainy weather was particularly fond of Dime. He enjoyed the fact that outside the car was a real bad weather, and inside the cabin warm and cozy. Only a muffled grunt engine, but gentle rocking on the comfy seats, supplemented with a sense of comfort. And moving along the highway with cars of different brands have entered the headlights jeep into a universal ensemble of a rainy day. Outside the city, the road was already lying in farm land in the South.

Sped past the manicured golf, and it was evident even initiate, as local farmers carefully apply to every scrap of land. Harvested the crop expanses of fields in this rainy winter, looked dank and damp, it seemed that now go under a stream of cold rain of a cozy cabin even need is not no way. After thinking about it, Anna Sobinova fidgeted in the back seat and moved closer to the boy. And Dima, feeling her warm and soft side, closed his eyes and blissfully asleep, lulled by the gentle rocking of the car moving through the downpour. Twenty kilometers beneath blue- gray rain showers popped a small village Maule. Jeep, carrying over the houses of the local farmers, cutting the gray haze day that, even after nine kilometers to cross a small rivulet, and found himself in the vicinity of the town of San – Javier – de – Lonkomilya. The town is located to the right of movement of the jeep on the shore of a small reservoir that supplies drinking water to residents. Further down the highway a little bit away from the left appeared town of Linares. Watching these settlements, flickering through the windows jeep, Anya thought «What, perhaps, is cozy and comfortable to live in this quiet provincial town of pure mountain air and nature.»

Further, approximately the same distance from each other, it’s miles away from five to ten, ran one after the other two small farmsteads Longavi and Retiro. Then another eight kilometers to the right of the highway town of Paroral arose. Next on the freeway was wide delimited strips planted with trees and bushes on a neat square and rectangular sections. And on both sides of the highway constantly swept monastery farmers who huddled close to the most highway. The unique location, which obviously is a good incentive for the rapid delivery of products grown in all corners of this long and multi- faceted country.

A jeep, slicing through the never- ending stream of heaven, raced on the flat surfaces of roads further and further inland to the south. City of San Carlos appeared in rainy gray haze after fifty kilometers from the town of Paroral. Background Fiers, at the entrance to the first houses with white walls stand out through the gray haze of rain, said:

– Ladies, let’s will pick at what or whether a cozy cafe, take rest before heading out to the mountains. As you look at it?

– I would not mind. – Immediately Anna said.

– Well, well, why not! – Supported the girlfriend Anya. The boy opened his eyes sleepily put my two cents in adult conversations:

– And I do not mind to go on!

But women do not even have reacted to this remark baby.

Firth portrayed the good- natured smile on his face that appears oily shade in his cold gray eyes. Jeep abruptly left the carriageway motorway at the first available outside of San Carlos. After passing with three hundred meters to the right Anya noticed the flashing pink neon light sign on the facade of the three- storey building «CAFE». Pointing gesture on advertising, she immediately cried out:

There! Ride there!

Fiers obeyed and took a jeep in the parking lot outside the cafe. Women who are not waiting for the gallant offer Firs follow an open umbrella, rushed out of the car to open the door institution. And Firth took the handle Dima took him under an umbrella behind them. In the acute smelling roasted coffee room was about five tables. Above the bar, where there were shelves with strong drinks, hung flat screen television. The screen flashed pictures of UFOs. The object then soared skyward, then crumbled into smaller ones, which in turn are scattered in different directions. Visitors were sitting at tables cafe. Some were drinking beer, coffee and other brandy and vividly discussing something, pointing at the screen. Anna and Anna took an empty table and sat there and were curious to watch the body language of those present, listening to an unfamiliar language. Soon they came up with Dima Fiers. According to the interested parties expressions, background Fiers realized that it would be nice to translate course of the conversation, which he began to do:

– All, discuss yesterday’s incident, which occurred on the plateau Enladrilyado. It is near the town of San – Clemente, towering two thousand meters above sea level.

– What happened there? – Anna curiously peered into the mouth FIERS. He smiled his cold smile and continued:

– Outstanding in the morning the weather is nice, which is rare at this time here. Local shepherd drove his flock of sheep graze and suddenly saw a huge UFO.

Fiers translated shepherd story that sounded from the TV screen.

Inside, he saw a bright glow, and apart from this glow could not see anything. UFO then crumbled on itself like all disappeared. Then came nowhere, slowly landed on the edge of an elevated plateau and long hours with three or four stood on the spot, and after slowly rose above the surface and swam away in an unknown direction just then when it started to rain.

– Tell me, Mr. von Fiers, in your places of these UFOs often appear?

– Even the tourist route organized by the places of their most frequent appearances. This area of San – Clemente. And that same plateau Enladrilyado.

Of course, the background Fiers knew all the details about these appearances, and, of course, he could not speak the truth, the more wives, husbands, which were in the UFO. He just smiled slyly women their oily eyes clouded from the vicinity of female beauty gray eyes.

Meanwhile, the waitress took the order from Firs and wagging a sHort skirt, retired, soon to return with a tray on which stood three steaming cups of strong coffee. She has placed gallantly saucers with cups and outside each has something to say to FIERS, then walked away.

– What else is wrong? – Anna muttered, what Firth said:

– The second breakfast will be more later! – What are you, Mr. Firth, decided to fatten us here, as it should? – Anya said. – I won by as much as five pounds of recovered! – She has confirmed his words with a characteristic gesture, holding both hands to his sides.

Anna on the remark just smiled, because not gain weight no matter how much and what kind of food was eaten for lunch.

Fiers childish blame looked at Anna and said in his defense:

– But we should still feed the baby, is not it?

Anya gave:

Of course, you, Mr. Firth is always right! – Motherly warmth she looked at her son, who, bored with a passion picked his nose with his finger.

In the end, sort out the food, and have eaten well before the trip, the entire company settled in the jeep and continued on.

Chapter 2

The car drove into a narrow highway outside the city and moved toward the mountainous terrain. Rain had already stopped, and low clouds made it difficult to see the peaks of the Cordillera. All on the right and to the left along the road often come across farms. On the neatly manicured courtyards were areas with different building materials and billboards on the walls drum up customers. The road to the mountains was attractive to tourists. Therefore, in some courts are arranged hosts some private cafes where you can enjoy a quick bite and a strong Chilean coffee prepared a special recipe, which can boast of these Chilean- style bistro. Clouds in the second half of the day was a little thin. Here and there through her ragged cloak already made its way sun, pouring its emerald glimpses of rain dew deposited on the trees and grass. In this glittering splendor jeep sped away to the mountains appeared. Summits have not been obscured by clouds looming, but gradually thinning clouds opened up more and more of the rocky ledges of the ridge.

Dima, who was sitting in the back seat, trying to make out, as through a curtain of cloud appeared mountains. At that moment it seemed to him that this landscape is not really, and it’s a theater with fantastic scenery in which they are all the actors are involved. A jeep meanwhile raced all those who spoke from behind the clouds snowy peaks, which are not closer, and ran on and on. Wonderful! The car went up the hill. Strained growling engine suv car pulling a jeep with passengers up and it is easy to give the wheels to slide down a winding mountain road. Coverage of the narrow highway was replaced in bulk gravel. And the tires, rustling through it, and fled to the mountain rivulet, which the rain was quite muddy and wet, carrying a thread somewhere down in the valley. Cross the bridge and found himself on the jeep right side of the stream and moved along the river, leaving everything up to be seen front of the forest belt.

Driving through the glades of artificially planted by the forest, the road suddenly brought to a vast area enclosed by barbed wire with guard towers rising above the perimeter fence.

– It’s like a camp for prisoners? – With curiosity asked Anne.

– Since the founding of the colony Dignidad been quite some time – explained Firs – and much has changed. No more of the founder of the colony, who was accused in a variety of sins. And the world around us has changed. Now, though colony governed by a Board of owners, but completely subject to the laws of Chile and its activities are directed mainly to the charity. The local population is very much welcomes this enclave where a school and a church. Live entertainment. A coach is not a small business brings revenue colony. So what sorts of myths about Villa Bavaria nothing but fabrications as dishonorable journalists. – Calm velvety voice replied background Fiers. Jeep driving along the barbed fencing came across a mounted patrol with armed horsemen. At that Fiers said: – The area is still protected, since a lot of valuables and works of art stored in the Villa.

They went to the square in front of the main entrance to the colony. At the entrance to the main entrance billboard inviting all comers in the restaurant company «Family Club» with a true German cuisine and authentic Bavarian beer. The restaurant was immediately nearby. We pass Firs met an elderly lady in a national German attire. He talked to her about something in German. And they left the room pass. After a while, Fiers appeared with written out the form on the pass, he produced his guard at the entrance to the colony. Anya did not stop to wonder:

– You have that here a real concentration camp?

– The Germans have always been discipline and order in all things. – Without batting an eye, said von Fiers. Jeep proceeded to the brand new neat two- story mansion with a broken outside each house front garden where flowers are grown and recently planted trees.

– So, ladies from now on you will live in these houses. Each of you will get one of them in perpetuity, and completely free! – A solid voice that brooked no opposition, said von Fiers.

– What the numbers? – Cried Anna Sobinova. Anya also froze with his mouth open in a pose of a cornered animal, and only her eyes sparkled, brimming with tears.

– I want to look at our house! – Suddenly said Dima. His remarks caught Fiers background:

– Well come on, Dima, come on, let’s see, what will you choose? – And, without thinking twice, Firs and Dima got out of the jeep and proceeded to the next house. Anya could not recover from a sudden shock, which did not give her son to stop, enthusiastic background Fiers.

Hey, Annie, your idea was to rush to find husbands? What a fool I was, that she agreed to this reckless adventure! – She took from its road handbags handkerchief and wiped her nose and tears. Anya was silent. She did not seem selected the speech, and it seemed that this is only a dream, that he is now and will be all formed. Anya did not notice his son’s return. Dima opened the door of the jeep and called his mother: – Mama! Mom! – He cried enthusiastically. Anya heard his voice and turned her head toward him. Eyes full of tears, she could not even make out his smiley face, but her maternal instinct and love for his son pushed him. She quickly climbed out and grabbed Dima in his arms, hugged her tightly.

– Mom, you’re human! – Choking maternal embrace, only had time to utter a boy.

The Son, forgive me a fool, I’m sorry!

– For The- I should forgive you? – Dima asked in bewilderment.

Anya could only utter that now, and only those words. But Dima was not clear their meaning, especially when it was then, as it seemed, all are better than ever. And again he made a half- hearted attempt to say about this mother:

– Mom, I know where our dad! – Suddenly he blurted out. But now Anna had not heard the meaning of these words, but only as a mad kept saying: – Forgive me, forgive me, son!

Dima said again: – Mom, I know where our dad!

Only now, she caught the meaning of these words. Then, almost mechanically repeated:

– What did you say? Where is our father?

Yes, Mom, I know where he is!

Has finally realized that she did not hear it, Anya harder asked the son:

– What did you say? Where is he, you know?

– Yes! – Dima affirmatively nodded and continued, – He’s in Eden, is going to Uncle Peter here to us here in this house. I have already found us a house, and there we wait our dad.

– What did you say? – Called out of the jeep Anna Sobinova. – Say!

– What my dad and uncle Peter and another uncle Alex, they have come to us from some Eden. This is my uncle Fiers said. – Gordo said Dima.

– I cannot believe. – Said Anna – What else did he tell you? – Anna got out of the jeep and pulled the boy from her mother’s arms, turned him around to face him and began shaking his shoulders.

– Tell me what he’s told you?

– What have you heard? – There was, velvety voice background Firs, who came to the women noticed. Both turned their heads towards the mine approached with question on dejected faces and with a silent question in his eyes.

– Ladies, I was tasked with bring you here in order to relocate your family in a specially reserved for this place where your meeting is to take place with their husbands. Everything else will tell you they are. I have fulfilled its function. I advise you to decide on the place of residence, and take the apartment, where the family will live.

It’s not only Anna, but Anya opened mouths of astonishment. At this point, until Anya finally came:

– And we have to believe in this story? You know, Mr. Firth us for round idiots are taking? – What background Fiers coolly remarked:

– I am telling the truth, madam!

There intervened Sobinova:

Well, if this is true, then you should not resist, and give us the opportunity to meet with Frau Elsa Eduardovna that our data resides here with her husband and two year old son.

– And then we will believe you and define our houses. – Anna picked up the idea.

Background Fiers, without thinking twice, ordered:

– Climb up in the Jeep, I’ll take you to the Garinova Elsa.

Women in extreme excitement, as the Panthers jumped to their seats in the car. Anya is now firmly held Dima in his arms and lost her cry of joy or shake with fear.

– Mom, I do not soul, I breathe hard!

Anya slightly weakened arms. Jeep drove up to this time exactly in exactly the same mansion as the pictures sent by Ana’s letter of demand.

Chapter 3

– Lord, I invited you to set new goals dictated by the prevailing circumstances. – I started to say the High Priest of Shambhala Theo gathered in his office Garinov, Leonid, Peter, Copernicus and background FIERS. He paused, sighed, then continued:

– It’s time to start a new page in the history of Mankind. Union highly developed civilizations of the galaxy the Milky Way has decided to contact with Humans of Earth. To fulfill this mission, established the Embassy, or in other words Office envoys from other worlds who will carry out direct contacts with the governments of the planet Earth. Meet and maintain these messengers from another world rests with you, gentlemen. One word on the team Garinova. Mr. Firth will inform you who will have to find where and how to accompany it all to perform. It will take you a curator, acting as a liaison between me or in other words between the Scientific Council of Shambhala and you. That’s all. To perform these tasks, you should be in good shape and in full spirits. To this end we have provided you with exceptional conditions. Fiers background and I have prepared a surprise to you, find out what on arrival at the place of your new deployment. That’s all. Mr. Firth, be engaged with their subjects.

Firs in the military clicked his heels:

– Yes, Your Rule! – Then turned to Garinov and his subordinates. – Follow me!

Peter could not resist not to speak:

– With things, or how?

On that background Fiers said coldly:

– Everything you need is already in place, where you will immediately be taken by my participation. Follow me! – Repeat the commanding tone that brooked no argument.

And minted in the military step, Fiers out of the office, followed in single file by removing all the rest…

Dima fiddling with a radio- controlled toy machine on a concrete path that led from the porch, his chosen home, where she and her mother moved the day before. Stood on the rare sunny day in autumn this Chilean autumn. The temperature was about eighteen degrees Celsius, and the boy felt that it is summer, because at this time in Moscow in late May was kept the same temperature in air. He was even more surprised that all week while they were here in a foreign country were endless rain, and now, at last, has established this sunny weather. Dima looked at the sky to see if and how long the sun will shine? And suddenly, what he saw there made the kid to make round eyes in surprise, and quickly ran into the house.

– Mama! Mom!

In the living room cabinet Anya laid out the things you brought with you. The woman turned around and said irritably:

Well, what else happened?

– There’s a flying saucer in the sky, so large landed nearby. Can I run and see? – Looking at extreme excitement asked permission Dima.

Well, here’s another, you know, that here you no one will release. Have not you heard that said Aunt Elsa, eh?

The boy blew distracting lips and sighed:

So, I’ll stay on the court yet.

– Go and enjoy yourself, but anywhere from home or on the move. Do you understand me?
