Obolon Rayon, Kyiv

An odd buzzing awoke the Ukrainian from a much needed sleep. He picked up his mobile and looked at the screen. The number was withheld. The average person may have ignored the call or let it go to voicemail but Vitaly Blazhevich was not an average person and his number was anything but public. The Ukrainian Intelligence Service (SBU) anti-corruption & organised crime operative pressed the accept button. “Allo?” His voice was thick from sleep and his mind still dulled but this instantly changed when he heard the English voice at the other end. “Aidan, where are you?”

“Left bank.”

“Kyiv’s left bank?”

“I’m not in Paris if that’s what you mean.”

Blazhevich sat up, looked at his clock and shook his head. It was just after Midnight, he’d been in bed for forty minutes. His wife groaned next to him and he wisely decided to leave the room to continue the call. The last time Blazhevich and Snow had ‘worked’ together they had prevented a terrorist attack. “Ok so I guess it’s important?”

“Important and personal.”

“Let me have it.” Blazhevich padded to the kitchen, poured a glass of water and then entered his own balcony. A new high-rise development in Kyiv’s Obolon district it too had a river view. He sat on a plastic chair as Snow re-counted the day’s events.

“Well?” Snow asked.

“Aidan you have an uncanny knack of walking into things. There is an on-going investigation into Deputy Imyets. If we can implicate him in this then I am sure even Dudka would be happy.”

“How is the old man?” Snow had a soft spot for the elderly SBU Director.

“Grumpy.”

Both men chuckled.

“So when can I expect you?”

“I’ll be there in half an hour.” Blazhevich replied.
