Tomorrow's actions are inherently very uncertain. Krzhakov repeatedly emphasized that it was not yet known who would be the hunter and who would eventually become the prey. So in my opinion, all the arrangements and preparations that we are making now are more about unifying the thoughts and goals of all of us, and it is really hard to say how much of an effect we actually have in action.

After Krzhakov had arranged everything, almost everyone didn't sleep, everyone was chatting or just waiting quietly. Krzhakov and the old fellow Younis sat face to face and chatted from time to time.

This scene made me feel that the night had become incredibly long, which made me unconsciously always imagine the scene of tomorrow, all kinds of problems that might be encountered, and even the various ways of death for each of us. This state of affairs makes me feel tormented and strange at the same time. Because I haven't felt like this for a long time, I don't know when I started to become numb, I no longer feel nervous about all kinds of actions, I can eat and sleep when I should, even if tomorrow is dangerous, I won't feel too much, and even once I felt that I was developing towards the old guy Eunice, becoming more and more heartless, and becoming more and more hob meat. But now I suddenly feel that I am still far from the old guy, I am not only nervous at the moment, to be precise, I am a little afraid, I am afraid of tomorrow's more dependent on my own improvisational actions, and I am even more afraid of the results I will face after tomorrow, the reason is very simple, that is, even if we kill the target, the seventeenth round will not exist, and few of these people who are still in the room at the moment can get out of the room.

I tried not to overthink myself and chatted with Berezov halfway through to distract myself. I looked at Berezov, who had been chatting with my men, and said, "Paul, do they have any news?" ”

Berezov heard me ask about this, looked at me, and waved his hand at his men to signal them to leave. When they were far away, he looked at me and said, "No." There is no news, I think they have been imprisoned, and Russia will definitely investigate them and investigate all their involvement in the operations of the Seventeenth Bureau. ”

"I know that." I nodded and asked, "I was trying to ask what the consequences would be for them." What will happen to them in the end? ”

"The result?" Berezov shook his head after thinking about it, "I can't say it, but I don't think it will be worse than us." They are nothing more than a security company, and the 17th Bureau is a Russian-recognized institution, which is equivalent to helping Russia do things. At most, it's an investigation, and it should be fine soon. ”

Berezov's words are certainly not satisfactory, but those that are satisfactory may not be true. I can only hope that they won't be too badly affected by the Seventeenth Bureau, and that they can get rid of the investigation as soon as possible, even if they don't work for any security companies anymore in the future. Anyway, it seems to me that Paul has done enough, and although he may not think so, I hope he can live a better life, stay at home, and enjoy a few days with his beautiful sister and kind old mother.

Berezov and I chatted without a word, until about four o'clock in the morning, when Kerzhakov received a phone call, which was very short, and he hung up after a few hurried words. After hanging up, he looked a little excited and turned to look at us and said, "The Berlin station should have arrived." ”

The old guy who was still sitting there seemed to be relieved when he heard the news, as if he was afraid that others would not follow. And Berezov, who was not far from me, said: "How do you know that someone from Berlin Station is coming?" Where are they now? ”

Krzhakov seemed to be waiting for Berezov's question, as if to show off to a few of us, and he was "hehe. He smiled and said, "This is the result of my ten years of mixing here." He said, gesturing to the house we were in and said, "What are they going to do when they come?" Find a place to stay, but an action team like theirs wouldn't just go into a hotel and stay in. You know why? ”

"Afraid of leaving a handle later? Don't want people to know? I almost blurted out the question. Because in Ukraine before, these guys were all kinds of hiding, hiding to the point that they doubted whether they really existed, they would not stay in such a big hotel at all, and they could only temporarily settle down in a hidden place or a small hotel with random management.

"Yes. That's it. Krzhakov nodded, "The things these people do are not only unsightly, but also the methods are more drastic, and they are even likely to cause chaos and casualties." No one likes to have someone like that in their house. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are violating your national sovereignty. So they don't swagger through the market, leaving a visible trace. will only hide himself like a fugitive and act quietly. ”

"I know that." Berezov looked a little impatient and said, "The point is how did you find them?" I want to determine if such a message is reliable. ”

"Reliable." Krzhakov sat back down across from the old guy. And after he sat down, the old fellow smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious? They will go to the safe house. ”

"Yes. Exactly. Krzhakov nodded, "They don't have their own large fortunes everywhere. And the one here, I just know where. ”

"Isn't that just the right thing to do? They all know where they're hiding, isn't that an opportunity? Berezov asked.

Krzhakov looked at Berezov with dissatisfaction and sighed: "Originally, I thought that this Alek, who pretended to be a Kazakh, was bad enough in this regard, but in fact you are more stupid than him in this aspect, and you are much more stupid. ”

"You!" As soon as Berezov was about to scold back, the old guy stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Let me tell you." After saying that, he looked at Berezov and said, "Remember our goal. Didn't you listen to what he said? It should be the people at Berlin, not our target. That is, no one knows whether our goal is there or not. ”

In my opinion, even if we knew that the target was in the rental house, we should not change our plans on the impromptu basis, for the simple reason that we were in a hurry, and we couldn't beat it at the level of our current gang. I know in my heart what the level of the people from Berlin is, and it is a bit too much to see that there has been a fire in the past, and that we want to win our goal in the fire.

"Okay. So let's just keep waiting? Berezov asked.

"Waiting, of course." Krzhakov nodded, "Wait for other news to come." Everything is still going according to the plan we agreed upon. ”

The action is about to begin!
