The investigator’s visit was brought to Arthur’s ears. «Damn it, is it really the end for me. These damned girls will ruin me. And it all started with this Sultana. She is the one who messed up my business. Arthur tore and raged. He had almost regained consciousness, although there were not big gaps in memory, and sometimes his head was spinning. But the most important news he received was a photo with Sultana, who was sitting on the windowsill. – That is her. He roared, and slammed his fist into the wall. A nurse came in and made a remark.
– Be quiet. There is already a lot of noise from you. Arthur wanted to make a reservation, but decided not to draw attention to himself and apologized.
«I’ll kill her.» And all those who helped her. You found the runaway.
– No. He covered his tracks.
«So much the better for him. As soon as this fugitive shows up, it will be the last day of his life. Arthur could no longer stay in the hospital and decided to continue treatment on his own. He was discharged from the hospital and completely immersed in his affairs, and he had many things to do. The very first thing he did was to keep an eye on Sultana’s chambers. Every step she took was reported to Arthur, everyone who came and went to her, everyone with whom she had contact, were calculated. – What kind of guy is this who is constantly hanging around her.
– One of them is an investigator, and I don’t know the second one, I know for sure that he is from Laos and studies at med.
– So find out what he has not mediocre attitude to her. End what else he does besides her and his honey.
– It will be done.
Guilt was waiting in the wings, and that hour has come. Arthur came to her. For the first time he looked at the girl not as a commodity, and she seemed beautiful to him. Vina had shoulder-length hair, but that did not interfere with her beauty.
– How are you doing? The wine was delivered to Moscow in a completely different way from Sultana and this served as further developments. Arthur had obligations to her family, and this burdened him and forced him to maintain a relationship with this girl.
– I am fine. I do not need anything. How is your health? Have you been gone that long? At these words, the girl’s eyes filled with sadness, but Arthur pretended not to notice it.
– You might think that they missed me here. These words touched the girl to the quick, but she did not show it. Arthur was always rude, and he never hid it. Vina wanted to say the words, but put them aside for later, and fell silent.
– The police came to you. What did she want? Vina turned cold with fear and was caught off guard. She had no idea that she was being followed.
– Yes. She came. They were wondering if I knew anything about the accident. About those who were sitting in the car.
– You know, you had better tell the truth, because I will find out anyway. Then look, decide for yourself. With these words, Arthur left, and the Guilt remained with the unspoken words. Arthur’s behavior and words made her reconsider all the events that were happening. She was not having as much fun now, either, as in the days when she had just arrived in Moscow.
Arthur, on the contrary, seeing the love in the girl’s eyes, surprisingly softened. After the events that happened to him, he reconsidered his life and realized that no one really needed him. No one loved him, and he had so few loyal people left. He did not know what love was because he had lost his mother once. Now he saw exactly the same light in the eyes of this lovely girl. He was never met like this by any of his captives; he always saw anger, hatred, and rage. Curses were hurled at him. This girl greeted him as a dear guest, and thanked him for the way he treated her. Arthur was pleased with this, and he decided to take a closer look at this girl.
A few days later, Arthur was informed that Amir has the gift of palmistry and is able to predict the future well. They told him everything, how he knows how to set up business, personal life, etc— – This is great news! Arthur thanked his man, and paid him a good amount of money. If this Amir is such a valuable find, then let him serve us as a farewell. I’ll make him work for me. And the connecting link will be Sultana. This news enlivened Arthur so much, he stood and smiled, leaning his hand on the table, his eyes shone with joy, and with his left hand, he combed his hair back and stroked them. His devoted dog was no less joyful, Jamal was glad that he could please his master and bring him so much joy. —This palmist needs to be caught immediately and brought to me. His faithful dog ran off to run an errand, and Arthur continued to stroke his hair and smile happily.
CHAPTER 7
As mentioned earlier, Arthur was being watched relentlessly. But he didn’t move much. He spent most of his time in the restaurant, and sometimes spent the night in his office. All events that happened shocked him, and this villain decided to be extremely careful and talked to few people.
Jamal ran away in search of Amir, at the same time Rashid flew out of Pakse to save his son. He was in a hurry to prevent what was brewing, and was afraid not to have time. Amir was in class, and did not suspect the danger that awaits him. Classes ended late in the evening, and he and his friend left the institute. They went to the metro station and entered the passage. The man sitting in the car watched the friends leave, and the car drove away. The car was driving fast to his house, at the same time Rashid was driving a taxi to his son’s house. Amir, unaware of anything, drove three metro stops and was in no hurry to return home. They went to the store with Lyosha, and after buying food, they slowly and cheerfully walked home. Friends were laughing all the way, and did not notice how a black tinted foreign car was chasing them. Turning the corner of the house, they went on, the car stopped. Two people grabbed Amir, gagged him, and quickly loaded him into the car. All this took about twenty seconds. Lyosha did not have time to do anything, the car quickly left. Lyosha immediately understood what was going on, but was in no hurry to call the police. He was standing with bags of groceries and thinking whom to call, Igor or the investigator. At that time, a taxi pulled up to the house and Rashid got out of the car. Lyosha was so surprised.
– You are late. He was kidnapped. Rashid calmly closed the taxi door, and calmly approached Lyosha.
– It is not for long. He will have to let him go. Lyosha looked at this man in amazement. He was amazed not by what he heard, but by what he saw. In front of him was a copy of Amir, only twenty years older. It was such a similarity in everything, appearance, manners, gestures, grandeur, and calmness. He was amazed and followed Amir’s father as a faithful servant. Although Lesha had the keys to the apartment, Rashid led him. – How are you doing here?
– Pretty good. I like Moscow. I have not even been home much in the summer. I wanted to come here as soon as possible. Rashid smiled. Lyosha was a simple guy, and Rashid understood it right away. – What a pity that you did not have time. It happened in a matter of seconds. Honestly, I did not even understand how it happened. Lyosha justified himself to Amir’s father like a little boy. He loved his friend.
– It had to happen. Even if I had time. They will not kill him today. But I need to stop it. He should be killed much later. And if this evil is not stopped, it will grow, and many innocent people will suffer. Lyosha
