Elian jogs up the metal steps, her sneakered feet making no noise. As she reaches the floor which Lev’s apartment is on, she hears the gentle creak of a door opening. Nimbly, she ducks behind the large, iron banister that acts as part of one of the supports for the floor above. It’s him, she can see as she looks through one of the rusted holes in which a missing bolt should be. He’s shoeless, his own feet making even less sound than hers. She holds her breath as he looks over the railing to the pavement below and then he goes over to the apartment next to his, tries the door handle, and slips inside.

Elian breathes out and leans against the iron post. What’s he doing in there? It’s not his apartment, because she saw him come out of number 1058. But she has no time to ponder it further, as the door emits a tiny creak again and Lev is coming back out, darting along to his apartment.

Elian waits, is about to stand up and approach again when his door opens once more. Only this time when he emerges, he’s walking backwards, carrying one end of something that looks quite heavy. She covers her chest with one hand as her heart begins to bang alarmingly and stays very still as another person emerges from Lev’s apartment. As the two men work together, shuffling and grunting, Elian strains to see what it is they are carrying between them.

And as the light from the streetlamp encapsulates them in a glow for a mere moment, she realises exactly what the bulky, sheet-covered item is.

She moves her hand from her chest to her mouth, biting down on her fingers, trying to swallow down the scream that threatens to escape.
