Nadezhda felt unusual in the new place. If she is just a guest, maybe she wouldn't feel so, however, the information that they abandoned their customary place and became forced immigrants in the Siberia, especially in winter, threw her off balance for a while. In a week, she began to notice that some part of her accepts these circumstances. She saw that different places and living conditions are like scene-change in the theater, but the internal viewer stays the same. Maybe so the human being gets used for everything? She wasn't sure.
Although they lived in such a wilderness, where the soviet people are deprived of very many things, Albert and old Paul had money. Even during the market-oriented reforms there was not a single commercial stall in the endangered village. These stalls stood four miles from here, where they had arrived by bus at night and the choice of food was much more narrow than in Moscow region. However the old man all the time was bringing the imported food, and when Nadezhda payed attention at the inscriptions on the packages, it turned out almost all of them were made in the United Stations.
They had not to hide Olesya anymore. Although Paul was uncommunicative with the neighbors, however, he told as if casually that now he has lodgers, that's a woman, her husband and his niece, as if all of them are from Krasnoyarsk, although they were born in the West. In Siberia the people name the European part of Russia as the West.
The neighbors, because of their poorness, wanted to invite lodgers too, but they doubted someone would be going to look for apartment in such a wilderness. So they asked old Paul in order he would find such people else. One day the old Paul was walking in the street of the village with Albert. Near a gate, another old man was standing and smiling without reason. With his round face and amiable smile he remotely resembled a famous actor, although he was much bigger. They said hello, talked a little and Paul has promised to find an alone women as a lodger or two women friends.
-How is he from your point? - the old man asked Albert, when they have moved aside.
-Although he is a little stupid, but religious and I feel, he is a kind one, this is the main thing.
-This is Balda. You see, the faith had been a very good influence on him.
-Praise God!
-When I became aware that his faith is real, when the first child was born in his family, a boy, now he is twenty five, he lives and works in Krasnoyarsk, then I put under a note: "Your happiness is between three pines". I drew a scheme there and indicated the place of these pines. He understood nothing, but his wife, without being a fool, she had sorted things out, and I had not to write a note at the second time. Although it was difficult, but she had found and dug up the "treasure" I had buried. There, underground, in the tin can I put an amount of money about equivalent to that amount I'd stolen long ago.
-Certainly this fact does you credit, - Albert said. - Unlikely another would return the money.
-Don't compliment ahead of time. What if you will be disappointed after? However, perhaps, you will be not, because I reconfirmed that you assert the moral freedom, in fact, not just in words. Olesya craves something.
-You said, she doesn't like young people.
-I'm going to tell you about she likes.
The old man led his successor in the edge of the village, where the forest already was beginning, and there he expounded his amusing plan to Albert.
After the information about impossibility returning home, now Nadezhda gradually recovered from it. Maybe, it is not worth worrying? What if the new life will turn out better than former one? They are in Siberia, but the food at home not worse than in Moscow. No everyday difficulties or caring.
After consulting, the old man and Albert yet decided to let her in on the secret of the teleportation, because of the hiding this great ability now consequences may be worse than from disclosure. Without being aware, in what degree it is serious, she could do anything stupid and fall into the hands of the sharks who are undercover of the FSB certificates.
After sending Olesya outside to go for a walk, they told her about the things they are able. She listened to them and didn't know, whether it was worth believing in things she heard. But she had to believe.
-Do you remember, you were indignant, because you forgot your makeup bag at home in Mytishchi and you said you were so accustomed to it that you wanted nothing instead of it? Say, where it is, and I will "climb over" for it.
-In my handbag in the low box of the bureau or in the cupboard in the wall.
Albert at once disappeared right in front her. Nadya turned pale.
-You have to get used to this, - the old man said.
She still didn't recover from shock, Albert has appeared again "from nothing", having taken from there not only the makeup bag, but also the whole handbag.
-Now you see what a golden fish Kashin wanted to possess. And "wanted the whole world to fear him"? Almost as in the Pushkin's script. You would be taken by them as hostage and I would be forced robbing a bank, either In Moscow, or in Switzerland. If I don't obey, God forbid, they would cut your ear and show it me. "Dare at the next time not to obey, you will see the consequences".
-My God! Impossible to believe! However, I thought, what is foolish spy playing? But now I feel, I am sleeping and I see a strange dream.
-Did you have spanked your redhead friendess in the dream too, hadn't you?
It seemed, Nadya opened her eyes wide, till a limit.
-My God! I'll go mad!
-I was there and in that instant when you might say about him, - Albert pointed at Paul. - I'd made the short circuit to divert your attention.
-So, do you jump in this manner into the banks, instead your spies of the FSB?
-I already told you, if it is so, I would have billions now.
-Then where you take the money from? Of course, this is not billions, even not millions, but if it goes on so, It will be no problem with money forever.
-Imagine the “shuttle” commerce, imagine full up trains till limit, for example, which are going from the Central Asia. How much money it may be spent for the tickets, for the charity to the racketeers, bribes of the cops, of the train personals, ticket collectors. All this is performing well. And now look: no long way at all, every place I need, is nearby, all the distances are zero. In fact, very short distances yet exist and here is why. You saw now, I have disappeared to "nowhere" and appeared "from nothing". In front of the people I must not do it every time. Certainly, at first, the most of people will think, that these things are gossips, a nonsense, a madness, but afterwards the whole world will try to get and to use this miracle, not only Kashin with Skolopendrin. And it would be a better outcome if Kashin only robs a bank. But what will be if he launches missiles with the nuclear warheads? So I have to, either appear, or disappear, in the garrets, in empty lots, in different dark corners and afterwards from these dark corners, I have to walk short distances by foot. Of course, I may sometimes surprise the people, I may joke, but if I begin to do it often, you understand now, what consequences may take place after this. Do you remember, I got a bruise on my eye? Do you want to learn where it occurred? In New-York!
Albert felt a relief, telling his secrets, which he has not to hide from his wive now.
-So you could easily flee from them. Even being caught by Kashin and his stooges, you could disappear, then appear here or in New-York. Therefore, you tried TO RESCUE ME. Silly me, when we ran through the forest, I was scolding you mentally up and down... Therefore, you love me, - saying this, Nadya came up to Albert to kiss, wiping her eyes already started to moisten.
-In gratitude, I'd ask you about the only thing, - Albert said, kissing and stroking her in answer. - Don't do stupid things, whatever would happen. Don't attempt to return back, it would be tantamount to a suicide. The main task we have now, legally or illegally to leave the state. Also, Olesya and all your friends have to leave for abroad. They will leave no one alone, even if they never get to me.
-Does it mean, Including Lena? Yet she betrayed us!
-She had committed a great mistake, now she repentance quite sincerely, we both heard this. Now you have learnt, what a "cocaine" it was talked about. She knows about the teleportation, therefore, they will get rid of her, when they don't need her anymore. At first, she was seduced by the spy stardust, the money, in addition this sexual instructor Kashin. She has a chance to become our friend again. She still isn't gone this far. Well, you judge, but things happen in life. Being irritated, one may commit something wrong, and doing villainy one may become such a scoundrel, even his death not always can rectify the situation.
-What do you mean? If a scoundrel himself has chosen his destiny, what for he would rectify something?
-All the people have friends, even husbands or wives. In fact, this is only the appearance. They are alien to each other, and someone of them always keeps primacy. For the appearance, they would share equally a breakfast or a dinner. But give them a piece of silver, they already would share it not equally. Regarding the gold, a comment isn't needed, it will transform them into enemies and bring a happiness to no one. I don't need this appearance, so I refused to be friend with anyone. But your case is unique. At first glance, the relationships of all four of you don't express something important, but in fact, such relationships take place very rarely. Among you, no one prevails above someone. You are reciprocally independent and in the same time you aren't afraid to be candid. This word sounding not loudly, they express low-key facts by themselves, but to compare them with the darkness the society is immersed, these relationships are as if glowing with bright light.
Albert noticed his wife didn't hear him, because it seemed, unwittingly she deeply withdrew into herself. In fact, yet what was taking place in her mind? At first she almost moved to tears from the care his husband had taken of her to rescue her, and this fact touched her feelings. However, when she remembered Lena talked her about Albert's possibility to cheat her with her woman friends, using the teleportation, it affected her, like a bucket of cold water poured on her head. Before she didn't give relevance, but now have remembered his husband also sometimes looks at Olesya when she is walking back and forth in the room in the short skirt.
-Why have you grown sad, my beauty? Now, I am going to give you a surprise.
After saying this he again disappeared right in front of them and it distracted her from pondering. What else has he planned? It seemed her as if she had to wait for him long, but only fifteen minutes passed.
-Is it dangerous? - she asked Paul.
-Not more than move from one room to another one, however, it depends what a room one plans to move in, but even this wouldn't be dangerous, because one almost always would succeed to "climb away" in time.
Albert appeared in the same strange manner as he had disappeared. At this time he was soaking wet, looked like a winner and presented to his wife a bouquet of not local flowers, which valued on the markets.
-You've got all wet. This time, where are you from?
-From Yalta. Beyond it's downpour now and ten degrees of heat (50F). To visit a flower shop, I ran down the embankment about two hundred meters, but to return I disappeared right in front of the saleswoman. I suppose, she doesn't want to be called crazy, so afterwards she will keep silent, but she will have a food for thought for a long time.
-Had you told her about your first "travel" in New-York? - the old man joined the conversation.
-I'd only learned that he got there a bruise on his eye.
-Tell her it, Alik, - asked old Paul, - it will not seem bored.
Albert has told her about his first teleportation in America, into the largest city. This story with all details at once has diverted Nadezhda from the negative thoughts.
During first days she was ashamed to make love with the husband and was wondering that old Paul made it with his Olesya so, certainly, during the light is switched off she could not see it, but she heard everything. She heard every time the girl herself took the initiative, tried to kiss, whispered him something in the ear - altogether, she excited him by all the ways, always succeeded the reciprocity, after this they breathed with passion about ten minutes and the bed accompanied rhythmically them with its creak. Observing them, Nadya became more daring and began to give herself to Albert, less and less being afraid of the accompanying noises and soon she ceased to pay attention to them at all. A few words Olesya said yesterday after switching off, these words excited her curiosity:
-When will we be doing it? - she asked the old man in the darkness.
-I see, you have a burning desire to receive it. But who will be screeching?
-Yet don't listen to it and be more severe with me. I like it, you know.
-We have the guests.
-They are for a long time. Regarding us, will we be nagging monotonously all the way? It's boring.
-If we show everything at once, we could scare the people. We have to... gradually... get used to... - She didn't catch they further talked.
-What a trick to commit? I guess...
-In that case, I will increase the quantity and quality.
-I will not be afraid.
-That's now you are saying like this. Don't take offence then...
-To take offence? At you? Ah! Ah! - suddenly Olesya moaned. Making love always began from these "Ah! Ah!" In the end of the act these "Ah! Ah!" always repeated, but much louder and many times.
Every morning this strange pair sat down to study. In general, the old man taught her English and the mathematics. One day while studying, old Paul was clearly irritated, because Olesya long didn't understand a new subject.
-Yet I have to think, what a remedy to influence on you.
-No matter how much to think, unlikely invent something better than it was invented at the dawn of the human history.
It was a few days ago, and yesterday, after their last dialog, Nadezhda was beginning guess, what they were speaking about, and she was curious to know, whether will her guess be confirmed. Her curiosity soon was going to be satisfied.
