Book-7. Edem, novella

– Oh, that! And we are You so much? – Laughing teased her Anya.

– And you have them? – A question with a question answered Anna.

– Yes!

– I do not believe until I see.

– If I had promised. – Anya pulled out of the side pocket of a jacket stack of hundred- dollar spear. – That’s it! – Handed her friend. Anna could not believe his wealth, and asked in surprise:

– Are they yours? – She continued to stare wide- eyed like a madwoman on a pack of bills in his hands. The words stuck in her throat, tears in their eyes.

– Excuse me. I was thinking that you’re making fun of me for my miserable existence and the general … – Anna did not finish, began to sob. Anna hugged her to him. Stroking her back comforting words:

– Well, well, do not. Now we do not perish.

Anna, like a little girl wiped her tears with his fist. Then pulled out a pink terry robe handkerchief and blew her nose loudly. Already cheered up voice said:

And, let’s change the outfit?

– What is it?

– Do not play, Annie. Well, we will waive the boutiques.

No, friend. We will, as to attract an unhealthy interest.

– What, you and I that bad looking?

– I would not say, but I’m afraid. This is our history with you under the watchful eye effect, does not inspire me. I am totally against. And then, who told me that he will rush out to look for her missing husband!

– In the case of a lot of money! – Explained Anna. Anya deep in thought. She felt as if in search of Leni she was ready to rush out and without any means, but held back her son. And it was her only reason. And hear from Anna Sobinova such words, she did not expect. Anna said Ani confusion and hurried to clarify:

After all, without the means, it’s certain death. No, my Petenka this would never have approved.

Anya had calmed down and said,

Nam, Sobinova with you, it is necessary to develop a plan of our search.

Well, well. I certainly agree. Come on, correct situation with finding husbands.

Anna, I do not like your thug slang.

– Oh, how sad, Annie. I’m just down from hopelessness. – She said dully. Her huge brown eyes sparkled again brilliant shine with tears. Anya was more to comfort her friend. She turned abruptly and went into Dima’s room. Anna slowly trudged into the kitchen. Soon there came Anya with a thick notebook in hand and a ballpoint pen.

– So, we will capture all the details that will plan the case.

– You, Annie, if you know everything on the front, as well as what to do?

– No. But when we all plan out and prepare, calculate costs, and our budget is, in this respect, it will be clear all the details. We will feel a lot more confident. Believe me, it is.

Anna, suddenly became serious. Tears gone from my eyes:

– And you’re right, Anne. Only in this way we will be able, to do something meaningful and serious.

Well, so what’s the deal. Here, dear, and let’s start with you. Let’s express the ideas.

Anna is deeply lost in thought, then said:

– And you, you do not know how and where we can go and ask? Hey you, out there, on the top, not seen our guys?

– Here you also made me think. What do you think, who we can all learn and ask? The one who they had last seen?

Anna opened her eyes:

– Tell me and I’ll tell you just thought he was talking about, as I do?

– You are right, exactly.

Then, of course, General Garin.

– And Elsa Eduardovna. – Reasonably noticed Anya.

– Only they and no one else will tell us about our family. Look, it’s not Antarctica, and warm edge.

– Yes, of course. – Confirmed Anya. – And to go there we might as well. The money we now have a sufficient amount, and the rest will follow. – And she looked intently into the eyes Anna.

– Well, we’ll get there? – Anna asked, willing to follow a friend to the end of the world.

– I believe it is necessary to buy travel packages to Chile’s capital Santiago. And we will continue to act impromptu.

– Annie, not so fit. – Sobinova protested.

– Is that you talking to me? Well, offer, offer, that not be better! – Anya replied impatiently.

– Yes, you must understand, you know that I do not mind the trip, but everything must be thoroughly thought out. Well, as it were, to exclude chance, or to reduce them to a minimum. – Pressing his hands to his chest, said Anna.

– Yes, I still got excited, I’m sorry. Let’s just ponder and decide.

Then, write, first paragraph…

Anna and Anna for a long time, all day sat in the kitchen with a notebook in hand, to have been brought all the items of their preparation for the upcoming private expedition to a distant country Chile to Villa Bavaria. And in the end the plan clearly built Anna said:

– It is necessary to carefully examine everything about this Villa Bavaria. This may be the Internet, encyclopedia, what may be pamphlets and other articles.

So, we need the library.

– We must take on all of this, i.e. the collection of information let’s say a month. And in the meantime us what tour or whether the agency will prepare documents to travel.

Also, it is reasonable. – Confirmed Anya. – So we need to share our responsibilities.

– How?

– You will get information, I’ll design our trip.

– You know, Annie, you’re somehow completely forgot that you’re not alone.

– I mean, how is it?

A Dimka?

– Oh, you know. Of course, he will travel with us, it will look as convincing fact, peaceful tourist visit to the Villa. Thus, the faster we will miss the Villa, and we can even try and make inquiries about the family Garinova without much risk of deliberate discrediting of the colony in the eyes of the world public.

– Wow, you’re like a rally in defense of the environment against the emission of carbon dioxide. – Anna joked.

– You do not answer, Sobinova, according to you? – With the commander’s tone of voice, said Anne.

Yes, yes, of course. I’ll catch the information about the place where we go. And it will be tomorrow.

Ah, yes. It’s time to go for Dima.

Well, let’s go, and I’ll make you that be.

You know, there Dimka so fed that he almost lost touch with home- cooked meals.

Well, such a mistress like you in the kitchen, not surprising.

Yeah, you go! – Anya came out with a smile, is preparing to go to the son. Anna began to peel potatoes…

Chapter 3

The next day, Anna went to the Central Library Moscow, the former TSKKPSS them VI Lenin.

Anya and Dima in kindergarten. Then, plan ahead to plan, it will search for a suitable travel company. The Arbat is a whole network of these firms offering a variety of tours around the world, and came to Anne, and started looking for suitable. With Anna, they decided to meet in the evening and exchange of information extracted.

So, Anna Sobinova entered by opening the door to a massive library. In the lobby with cloakroom at her curiously stared elderly woman working in a form in which employees were wearing. Anna eyeing suspiciously, especially delaying look at the shabby gray coat and patching in several places, downy shawl, said:

– Well, I understand the students, they need to. And what to you, woman! There is no hospice for the poor!

Anna chain reaction instantly matured three to four storied curses are far from intelligent expression, but, mindful of its mission, struggling to restrain himself, barely managed to say:

– Accept, madam, my mink coat and hat! – And put it on the shelf receiving his cloak. Receptionist vigorously grabbed the clothes and hung a blank space on the rack and threw it numbered, hissed in response:

– When you leave do not forget to pick up!

– Do not forget! – And began with a notebook in her hand up for a young girly for the record. Turn quickly came and received the form, Anna sat down at an empty table to fill their passport details. With that, she handled quickly and returned the girl to fill in the blanks.

– You must also pay a membership in the library.

– What if I’m on the same day?

– No, you’re going to use the same computer, the Internet, maybe something printed out and enjoy books magazines?

Well, of course I will! – Anna agreed.

In the cash- go. And bring me a receipt, I’ll give you a one- time library card.

After all these formalities Anna is a one- time library card came in the reading room and sat down at the specified in the issued token desk with a computer and a lamp on it. Anna on the Internet to quickly find the right materials. And after sitting in the reading room of 16- 00, had a complete picture of the founder of Villa Bavaria. His political views. And just about modern living villas. On its place in tourism and other activities. Accurately record all that was interesting, Anna gathered home with a sense of completed tasks.

Anna, in turn, made a tour of the travel agencies. Agencies unanimously confirmed that it is necessary to confirm the ability to pay to the bank account of the tourist lay sufficient funds otherwise the trip cannot take place. Anya did not dare show his capital. She was not afraid to do it only with a cash machine, and so that is what the manager could see the amount of money on her credit card, she did not dare. Finally, in one of these agencies, she mustered the courage to open an account manager. Impressive amount, to highlight the numbers on the monitor, the manager had plunged into shock. He could not understand what the numbers flashed on the screen. Several times I went through the code credit card, until in the end, Anya repeated it:

– You have something embarrassing?

– A! Ah! it is true?

– Really? That my uncle left me a legacy?

– Well, I have no further questions. – Have a confident tone in his voice told her manager, Yee added – You know, we have an interesting tour in the neighborhood of Villa Bavaria.

– Yeah! – Anya, nearly blurted out “And I go, just right!” – But, in time restrained. Then, in a tone a little interested in the offer, said: – Well, I’m not a food. We must reflect on your offer.

To remove doubts client, the manager was ranting about the fabulous surroundings that surrounds the villa, show brochures, trying to talk on this tour. Anna broke down and gave up the first one:

– And tell me, how much time is spent on a passport, a visa is done, well, that sort of thing?

Well, let’s say for the accelerated deadline for a certain amount, of course in American dollars, ten days maximum. – A young man so inspired Ani account that such a customer he did not want to let go so easy. – We’ve got a nice tour of the Chilean coastal city with a cruise on the ship, if you will.

– Well, young man, your proposal suits us.

So, I form you this cruise?

– I told you that I go not alone. And I need advice.

– Then I wait for you – the manager made a waiting pause, hoping that Anna will say when exactly it intends stated for processing permits. Without waiting, he continued – and when you have to wait?

– Don’t worry, I’ll get back to you.

The manager made a cheerful face wreathed in smiles, and he felt that it is possible to offer a more expensive tours, he spoke again:

– Tell me, why you need it in Chile? We have more…

Anya did not let him finish:

– Yes, because you were offered this particular tour, and he was our best. And I, a young man is not going to change their decision. You clearly!

Manager afraid that it will lose a client because of its intrusiveness, tried to correct the situation:

No further questions. I look forward to your decision.

– I’ll visit you soon. – Anya goodbye. The manager took her to the most openwork iron gate office. And Anna, inspired by the success, came home. And she became inspired to cook dinner in the kitchen, waiting for Anna. Wall clocks have shown 16- 00. Anna is still not there. Anya decided to go for Dima. And there really sure when it will come with his son, Sobinova be home.

She put on her boots, coat shawl. Suddenly remembering that Anna did not leave a letter, in boots and went into the kitchen on a piece of wrapping paper wrote: “Issues are being addressed. Discuss, after the evening. I’m for Dima. Anya”…

Anna, finding the note, looked at the plate. There were pans with cooking dinner. But it is not wanted. Impatiently she began arranging his notes, building a coherent picture of the Villa Bavaria. So in a concise and intelligible form to tell Anna about the priceless information that managed to get into the library.

Anna sat still in the kitchen, poring over the test when it ran excitedly into the kitchen without having to remove coats, Dima:

– Aunt Ana! Aunt Ana! Is it true that we will soon leave for the holidays?

– Dima, my mother said that to you?

– Mama! Mom! A what? – Dima surprise knew no bounds.

– I told him. – Has been followed by the son of Anne. It still was wearing a coat, a scarf she had already removed. – Said to somehow cheer, cheer up.

– Are not you afraid that the whole of Moscow will soon find out where we came in “vacation”? – Cautious and anxious tone of voice asked Anna.

– Nope! Because we’re going on vacation, but not quite.

– Yeah! Now, it seems, understand, Annie, where we’re going! Well, such is not yet decided? – Wink, said Sobinova.

Well, of course, is not decided! – Winked back, resounded with Anya.

– Mom, what? Where are we still going? – Continuing to pull the coat sleeve, said Anna’s son.

– Here we are with Aunt Anna and decide. You go so far in his room to play. And do not forget to take off the robe!

Dima slowly retreated into the hallway. Soon there was heard scuffling boy with outerwear. Behind him out into the corridor and Anya. There, she helped her son take warm clothes and hang neatly on a hanger to dry. And a minute later, she returned to the kitchen to Anna:

– Now, Sobinova, we will deal with our knowledge. – Sitting down at the kitchen table in front of Anna, she put her notebook with records. – So, Anna, that you dug for Villa Bavaria? – Ton prince in their expedition leader, said Anne. Anna did not oppose the leadership Krazimovoy and eagerly began to report:

– I have thoroughly examined all the available information to me in the library. In addition, through the Internet, has come to the Foundation of the British Royal Library. They collected the finest and not even the most important facts. However, some computer translation is not exact, but the meaning is clear enough option to get an idea about the subject. Let’s start from the beginning of the founding of the Villa since 1961. Colonia Dignidad – German settlement in Chile, founded in 1961 by Paul Schaefer Nazi criminal, officially called the “Charitable and Educational Society” Dignidad.””

– And who is this Paul Schaefer?

– Judging by the scant information I dug up on the Internet, it appears that he is not a Nazi war criminal. Documents incriminating him in Nazi atrocities found. But on his spiritual life formed the impression that this is a God- fearing and deeply, I would say, fanatical believer. In any case, as stated about it in magazines and the Internet some of the articles that I was able to get. True, he had once been convicted of the holy church, where he led a service of molesting young boys. A scandal broke out. Followed by excommunication. Then Schaefer creates Bible Society, entitled “Charitable and Educational Society” Dignidad “”, which invited people of faith, and with amazing magical powers of persuasion follow their pastor Paul Schaefer, giving all of their savings and the state of society. Following the example of the Ambassador of Chile in Germany Schaefer Chilean authorities seeking permission to relocate and lease with option to purchase a further 12,000 hectares of land under the organization of the German settlement. That they had been successfully implemented.

– Tell me, Anna, and what does this Schaefer to modern Dignidad colony?

Already, no. He is the honorary head of the settlement. But his seat to anyone not known. And in general, it is not known whether he is alive still or not?

Well, when we put modern technology prolonging life, and judging by your stories out there know how to take care of their health and reputation, I think that still resides somewhere. Well, God be with him with this Schaefer. You better tell me what is a modern colony?

– Dignidad from universal international reputation as a thriving agricultural enterprise, where they grow vegetables and fruits. Raise pigs and cows and supply half the country’s fresh meat, milk, cheese, butter and other gifts of nature. On the basis of the settlement established tourist center called “family club”. Tourists are there well met by the fact that the colonists time to understand that tourism is a good income. Is there a well- maintained hotel, designed in the style of the thirties pre- war Germany? A restaurant serving German national dish with beer, and of course the rich exotic tours are conducted. Tourism business run by the same “family club”. By the way in this “family club” can sign up and become members of the club everyone by paying a membership fee.

– And do you believe, Anna, in the fact that a member of the Club can be anybody?

Of course, Anya is not. This farce invented for the sole purpose to attract more tourists. However, we can book trips to Villa Bavaria and somehow try to contact with the general.

– It will depend on how and where we will spend. Maybe this tour is held at gunpoint.

– So, we will focus on the circumstances on the ground. You’re the best, Annie, tell me, what have you got?

– The company is. It is possible to quickly, within two to three weeks to issue permits to fly to Chile and…

Women have long sat in the kitchen, discussing and making a situation in which, as they thought they might be by chance or intentional acts and how to get out of these adventures without a loss. Long after midnight, sounded sacramental phrase Ani:

– What would be beyond our plan to revise the location of our deployment. And, remember, Anna, now we are working on the plan drawn up by us.

– Yes, my general! – Said in a joking manner Sobinova, overflowing emotions upcoming preparations for the expedition and its further implementation.

In the morning, the women began to act according to a predetermined plan. Anna stayed home. Scheduled her cooking lunch and dinner. Anya same Dima withdrew from kindergarten and hurried to the familiar travel agency.

Execution of documents began with filling in forms for permits and passports, the filling of other documents, health insurance and other formalities. When this was finished and were mere trifles to be solved in the course of ten days of registration, she said with a smile manager:

A photo on the passport I will bring tomorrow. – With these words she left the agency…

Chapter 4

Sobinov Krazimov, following a Firs background, entered into a bright and spacious room with high and wide windows that ran to the ceiling height of twenty meters.

– Wow! As in the St. Sophia Cathedral in St. Petersburg! – Said Peter.

– If you do not take into account that more than one hundred meters in height and with a pendulum in the middle. – Leonid parry. Then asked the accompanying background Firs:

– Why so tall ceilings?

He is short and arrogant rapped: – All in good time! – And added more subdued – find out later.

Suddenly, behind a man’s voice rang out:

– They are the ones whom you spoke? – The question was intended to Firks background. They all turned toward the speaker. In a white medical coat unbuttoned, was not a tall man tightly knit. Next to the very tall background Firs his figure seemed to dwarf, though he was only two centimeters below the three friends. His biting brown eyes like thorns dug into pieces and Leonid Peter, appraising them with the measuring head to toe. These eyes are planted close together, expressing contempt and disgust. The man had his nose slightly aquiline, from which came right and somehow reminded not falcon, not a parrot’s beak. The lower jaw was pushed forward, outlining a massive chin. He quickly grabbed the waistband of trousers a shining object and immediately threw it in the direction of Leonid. Krazimov immediately responded and almost mechanically caught the object on the right hand. Then he began to think of what happened, looking at the horse shoe in his hand.

Well, ka bend it! – Ordered the stranger rude defiant tone. Leonid was not ready for such treatment:

– Who are you to tell me what do I do with this thing? – And he threw a shoe at his feet on the cement floor and kicked it to the side to give up. A man with his toe deftly tossed it to his right hand and caught horseshoe hand, then calmly tucked in his belt. Watch this background Fiers unexpectedly intervened:

– It Kecho! Your instructor of martial arts, your mentor, and you have the commander on all matters to address him. Now it is for you commander for the duration of training.

– Say, background Fiers, and this warden Kecho at what time put in charge to us? – Peter could not resist not to be ironic. At that, without paying any attention to Peter von Fiers continued: – He will teach you all that you need to know. And most importantly, how to stay safe and sound, or in other words, how to protect your body and your mind in the fighting with serenity.

Kecho intervened: – Can you call me that, Sir coach. I’ll call you by name and the “you”. Remember, you will need to contact me, Mr. trainer and only to “you.” Remember, for not obeying, bickering, no knowledge of the lesson – the cooler. And what is the lock – up will know when you get there, you advance to frighten the lock – up will not. Do you understand?! It is clear! – Peter replied. – But what scares me more is not your lock- up, and your bad manners, sir.

– No sir, but Mr. Coach! And are you telling me? – Kecho asked indignantly. He waved his hand and Peter, as if struck by lightning on the back. Sobinov then felt another blow to the stomach, from which the breath away. From this blow Peter bent down and immediately grabbed another blow to the neck, which was accompanied by abundant rain from his eyes sparkling in sparks. Kecho while standing at a distance of five meters from Sobinova and slid a hand, producing intricate movements: – Therefore, all I’ll have to teach you idiots. And now, you, – he pointed a finger at Krazimova – Take this bag of garbage – he nodded toward Peter – and follow me! – He rushed past a surprised Leonidas and writhing from the unbearable pain of Peter. – I’ll show you to your rooms, where you will live. Leonid picked up Peter and the one moaning, leaning on his friend’s shoulder, followed by a near Krazimov to trace rapidly receding Kecho. At this time, silently watching everything going on background Fiers turned abruptly and left the room.

Kecho on the go, hurriedly explained the rules of behavior in the school and schedule:

Lift- six in the morning! Procedures…

He was a long corridor with many doors. The corridor ended deadlock. Right and left side, opposite to each other are arranged two doors.

– This is your room. There is everything you need for an overnight stay. Rooms are given to you each separately, in order to avoid communication. Specificity of training is individual and each will receive a share of knowledge. That there was no distortion in communication, you will live separately. Do you understand?!

– Yes, sir Coach! – Chorused friends.

Well, for today. Relax! Tomorrow at seven in the morning, waiting for you in the hall! – With these words Kecho suddenly disappeared. As he succeeded, Leonid did not notice because I was busy with a friend who is very ill back.

– You help me. – Peter prayed.

– What are you talking, of course! – Leonid readily responded and supporting each other, dragged him into the room, which was located on the left side of their movement. On a wooden bed had fresh bed. The room is warm and smelled fresh and ozone. Standard room immediately struck by friends. Leonid not help but notice:

– They sketched, perhaps, from our hostel in rehab?

– Oh- ho- ho, or a nursing home. – I tried to make a joke Peter through the pain. – You know Leon, I is not up to at a party.

– You know, Petrushka, I think I can help you, heal.

– Are you kidding me? – Grimacing in pain, replied Peter.

– Not at all. And listen to what needs to be done.
