Chapter Eighteen – Moscow

Curial stumbled as the train surged forward. As he steadied himself, he saw Dina looking around as if trying to get her bearings.

“We need to get off this train,” Curial said.

Dina breathed in through her nose, then shook her head. “First stop is an hour away.”

“Then we get off in an hour, come back to St. Petersburg, and find Maurice.”

Dina shook her head again. “There are over five million people in St. Petersburg. How exactly do we find him?”

“I don’t know, we call the police.”

“We are not in America. For all we know it’s the police who took him.”

Curial became aware that people on the train were staring at him, and Dina was already walking down the aisle towards empty seats. She sat down and moved towards the window. Curial sat next to her.

“Then we call your grandfather. He’s an important man at the University, he could help us out right?”

“There is no way I’m telling my grandfather that I’ve gotten myself mixed up in…whatever this is. You’re the rich American, why don’t you call someone?”

“I would also rather not tell anybody what I’ve gotten mixed up in.”

“So it appears we’re at a standstill.”

“Yeah,” Curial said. “It does.”

“Then listen. Maurice was telling us he figured something out about that symbol.”

Curial pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and opened it up. “He said it was a symbol of a secret KGB program and that he’d figured out who ran the program and the answer was in Moscow.”

“And I’m guessing this guy heard Maurice was poking around in his business and had his guys take him. Which means…”

“We go to Moscow and figure out who this guy is.”

Dina seemed to think about it for a moment, then finally nodded. “It’s our best shot. We find that guy, maybe we find your friend.”

“He’s not my friend.”

“So he just saved your life back there because he’s not your friend?”

Curial looked away. “How long does it take to get to Moscow?”

“On this train? Only four hours.”

“Is that enough time to come up with a plan?”

Dina bit her lip. “Don’t worry blockhead, I’ve already got one.”
