Parallel world. Chapter 3. An excursion into the past. Part 8. Things home
Part 8
Continuation.
Three hours later Anton and Vika having said goodbye to Victor, crossed a threshold of the apartment.
– It's good to be home again!
Vika, having taken off her shoes at the threshold, immediately dived into the bathroom and quickly filled the bath with water. Outdoor recreation, of course, has many advantages, but to such benefits of civilization as a comfortable bath filled with hot foam water, there is still very far away.
While the girl luxuriated in the warm water, Anton hastily prepared a light Breakfast of the products captured by them in the village, warmed the tea and only then knocked on the bathroom door.
– You there, an hour, not fell asleep? - he asked. - Come out, Breakfast is on the table.
When Vika came out of the bathroom and walked into the kitchen, from the sight and smell of food on the table, her stomach immediately reminded her of itself. They say that you are starving me, let's quickly lean, there are so many different yummy.
Yes, Anton did his best. Fried eggs and bacon, sliced a salad of fresh vegetables. On a platter in the middle of the table there were homemade pies with potatoes and eggs with onions, carefully Packed in a bag by Nina Vasilyevna, which she baked for the children in the morning.
The girl with the great pleasure joined the feast. They had Breakfast quietly, not hurrying. Then Vika cleared the table and washed the dishes.
And as she finished her business, the phone rang. Oleg asked them to be careful and warned that soon the driver of the Academy will bring them food.
– Only open it after a special signal. I hope you still remember him. The time of the Council is still unknown. Maybe he'll meet tonight, maybe tomorrow afternoon. In any case, you should be ready for it.
From the moment of the call of the chief about half an hour later heard a chirping in the intercom and a familiar voice uttered a phrase that was an identification mark. Anton opened the entrance and went to the door.
Looking through the peephole, he recognized the driver Slavka, with whom he was on friendly terms. Just in case he looked in the lens of the camera - suddenly there in addition to the Warblers have anyone else. But the landing was empty, and Anton opened the door.
He was careful not to let even a familiar person into the apartment. Taking the bags of food, he said goodbye to the courier and closed the door. But before he could sort out, as the doorbell rang.
This time Vika came to the door and saw that she was facing the same neighbor whom they had asked to look after the apartment during their absence.
"What's her name?"- Vika had to strain memory, to remember, as name is this rosy-cheeked woman. "I think Natasha," she thought and opened the door.
"Hello," confused somehow murmured a neighbor. "I heard your door open and decided to see if everything was all right.
– Good afternoon, Natasha! - with a smile she answered Vika, thank you so much and sorry for the trouble caused to you. Will you come?
– Yeah, no, I went out for a second bye the baby fell asleep. Suddenly Wake up and be frightened. I just want to tell you that a few days after you left, there was a man standing next to the door of your apartment. We were just coming back from a walk. When I asked him who he was looking for, he said nothing, just shot me a look and quickly went down the stairs.
"Can you describe his appearance?" What was he? - sprosila Vic.
– No. I saw him only in profile, and then briefly - guiltily replied the neighbor. "You'll forgive me, but I'm going to my baby."
– Once again, thank you for your help, all the best! - said goodbye to Vic's neighbor, entered the apartment and closed the door, not forgetting to put it on guard.
"I wonder who it could be?"
With this thought, she went to the kitchen, where Anton had already finished laying out the food and had already boiled tea.
– Who was that? - he asked. - What were you talking about?
– Neighbour. The one we asked you to look after the apartment. Said came a man, but who he is and looks like, she doesn't know.
– I hope the security camera remembers him. Anton said thoughtfully. - I will tell about this case to Oleg, let will send experts to check records.
In the evening, when Oleg called again, Anton told him about the unknown visitor, and the chief promised to deal with it. And he warned that tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning a car would pick them up and take them to the Academy.
– Have a good rest, get a sleep, so that tomorrow you will be cheerful and full of energy. Goodnight!
– Mutually, - responded Anton and, putting phone on the table, turned to the young girl. - The authorities ordered to go to bed, so-on beds! - he commanded jokingly. - I'm turning off the lights!
Vika had to obey, but it was still quite a long time tossing and turning in bed, Recalling the events of recent days, but in the end fell asleep, and, oddly enough, her sleep was calm, without any dreams.
