• Here, have a pack pick something suitable to wear, Viktor handed Vika stuffed some rags in the package. - Don't look at me like that. You think I enjoyed taking things from besieged people, but with the clothes we're wearing, we're not going to make a move without arousing suspicion.

• What, aren't we going straight home from here? - asked, biting her lips, to not to cry, girl.

• No, I'm sorry, - said her companion. - I will repair the device, but it will not have enough power for long-distance movement. The most he can do is take us to Odessa. There, I hope, I can get hold of the necessary spare parts.

• Well, - reluctantly agreed with his arguments Vika, - although, she still had to do?

She went behind a stone and began to try on the clothes brought by Victor. Unfortunately, many things were too small for her, she hardly picked up a pretty skirt and blouse, as well as a thin transparent silk handkerchief, which she tied around her neck.

Then she appeared in front of the young man, turned in front of him to check out her appearance, but Victor only glanced at her and continued his work.

The girl remained nothing how to sit down on a stone and sad to wait when finally the device will be fixed and they'll get out of here while the going's good.

There was relative silence outside. The sounds of explosions subsided we could hear was the groans of the wounded Yes talks surviving prisoners of the dungeon.

Vika was afraid that one of them might come to where they were hiding, but her fears were in vain. And Victor finally finished to cast over the instrument and beckoned the girl to himself.

• Hold on to me - in a whisper he said. - Now we with you will move, presumably in the city centre, be prepared for the fact that we can meet face to face with the Nazis. You need to stay calm, pretend there's nothing going on that might surprise or frighten you. You understand me?

• Yes, Yes, understood. Will try do so, as you speak, only let's get out of here to dispose, - also whispers answered girl. - I'm afraid to stay here. I read once about what was going on here during the war.

• Okay, hold on tight, I'm counting you down. - and Victor pulled the lever.

The device vibrated, air around children began to twist, turning into a funnel, and in a moment they appeared on Deribasovskaya near the lane in which not so long ago Vika (Marina) got acquainted with Anton (Stepan).

Looking around and not finding anything suspicious, Vika and Victor ducked into the alley and soon was standing at that house, where in the future there will be a meeting with members of the community.

The house looked almost the same, seemed empty, abandoned, and the guys decided to take a chance.

Short dashes they ran to the window and carefully looked into it. There was nobody. Victor pulled out his universal key, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it...

Vika watched in fascination as the door opened, inviting them to come inside.

• Come on, don't be stupid - come in quickly, - in a whisper said Victor the girl, and when she came in added - it is Necessary for us to hide somewhere while I look for parts to fix the unit.

• You knew in advance that the house already exists, and that it is empty? Vika asked in surprise.

• Sure. This house has long belonged to us and served as a backup in such situations. Close the shutters so we can't be seen from the street, and go to the kitchen, make us something to eat.

• Don't worry, there is a required minimum supply of food, - noticing the puzzled look of the girl, - said Victor.

• What are you going to do now? - asked Vika.

• I will disassemble the device and make a list of necessary parts, and tomorrow morning I will go to the store of electronic components. I hope he's somewhere nearby. Maybe after dinner I'll find something useful here in the cabin.

Having engaged in business, children at all didn't notice how quickly time flew by.

After dinner, Victor continued to Tinker with the device, and Vika decided to look around in their sheltered house.

She went around both rooms, found in one of them a wide bed, made with clean linens. In the dresser next to her lay a few more sets of linen. There she found a man's pajamas and a woman's nightgown.

With cuisine she has passed in a small bath, where warmed water, and then gladly washed and changed her clothes in clean clothes.

Then Vika came up to Victor and asked him too be washed in the bath, but he just shrugged off the girl, asking them not to disturb him.

Vika, slightly offended by him, went to the bedroom, went to bed and immediately fell asleep and slept almost until noon.

When he woke up, Victor was gone. He left, as he was going to look for spare parts, and left her a note so that she would not worry, waited for him and tried not to go out into the yard and not to open the shutters on the Windows.
