In the morning I opened the door of my office, a tablet on which read: “Agency Amur. Affair affairs”. My assistant Vika already worked. It was me, the boss, who could stay, but she did not. Sits, works, well done. I looked over her shoulder at the monitor. Yes it works?! On the screen ran a tape of criminal news.
“Victoria?” You have nothing to do?
– You also need to know the news. And in general, well-bred people first greet.
– Hi!
– Hi. Look what they write. At us, in Petersburg, armed gangsters have made raider capture of confectionery factory.
– Now there are no bandits. They were all shot and transplanted for a long time.
– And who is this, in your opinion?
– It? Or a security company or security service.
– So why write that bandits?
– The press. They just give a sensation. But in fact there is probably all much more prosaic. There is a court decision, there are people who execute it. Maybe, this is not even a security company, but bailiffs, with riot police.
– So, now there are no bandits at all?
– Bandits? I think no. There are robbers, robbers, but bandits… Bandit is a member of a gang, a member of an organized criminal group. From the economy, from what brings a legal income, the bandits have long been “squeezed out.” The siloviki – the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service – “cover” the business. But you and I went somewhere deep into the jungle. What do we have for today?
– We are waiting for the customer, the new customer.
There was a knock at the door.
A middle-aged woman entered, I invited her to sit down at her desk.
“Coffee?”
– Yes. Thank you, I will not refuse. My name is Alexandra, Sasha. My business is rather delicate, ticklish. We have been living with her husband for more than 5 years. More precisely, in fact, he is not my husband, we live in a civil marriage.
The woman fell silent. I did not rush her or question her.
“My husband’s name is Eugene.” He works as a programmer. Eugene earns well, many times more than I do. Although I have a salary, I would say above average. The nature of the work of her husband is traveling, a lot of business trips. Sometimes, they pick it up at night and out of bed.
She paused again.
