As Boris thought back to the killing of Dmitri and Natasha, he mused about a conversation he had had with his boss Mr. Zavert about killing everyone who might think they knew something about Stalin’s last night on earth.

“How do I determine if somebody is thinking about anything… let alone the events that lead to comrade Stalin’s death? Mr. Zavert, I am a spy, not a mind reader,” Boris had said to his boss.

“Then hire a mind reader, comrade,” Mr. Zavert ordered from behind his dark glasses, which looked ever darker to Gila.

“Are those new glasses you are wearing Mr. Zavert?”

“What glasses?” Mr. Zavert shot back.

“I think I can now close the book on this project, as I don’t think anyone else has any motivation to think,” Boris predicted.

“Because we killed them all!” Mr. Zavert shouted. “Remember: Dead people don’t talk.”

Another project Boris was given had to deal with finding out (and eliminating) who was behind the massive black-market influx of toilet paper into Moscow.

“Now this will be a satisfying project, comrade,” Boris said to Mr. Zavert.

“Nothing should or will be more important than your fulfillment of comrade Stalin’s request to kill John Wayne,” scolded Mr. Zavert.

Boris Gila bowed and apologized for his remark.

“Don’t ever say you’re sorry. Just show me that you learn from your mistakes, comrade,” Mr. Zavert told his subordinate.

But Gila wasn’t sorry. He felt that the effort being put into trying to kill John Wayne was a waste of valuable time, energy and resources. He wanted Aleksandra and Viznapu back in Russia, where they could wreak havoc on all the bad guys who were ripping off fellow Russians. Boris knew he was going to be judged on the results and the return on the investment of sending Alexei and Ivan to Hollywood. So far, the results were mixed.

“Better mixed than nothing,” Mr. Zavert had said, as he waved off Boris six months earlier, when the two had a meeting about the successful take down of the black market on toilet paper in Moscow.

How the captain and the projectionist would be of great help to me back in Russia, Gila sighed to himself after his boss had dismissed him.

“Do you have any idea how much money you saved us by breaking up that black market on toilet paper, comrade?” Mr. Zavert asked Boris.

“I didn’t study economics, comrade,” Boris replied. “I studied cooking.”

“Right. You studied home economics,” Mr. Zavert said with a hearty laugh. “You saved us and your fellow citizens a bundle. Believe me, I know. Everyone now has more rubles for other things.”

“Other things?” Boris questioned.

“It takes more than toilet paper to run a country,” Mr. Zavert replied in a tone that told Boris to accept Mr. Zavert’s congratulations on the black-market break-up and get back to work on killing the Duke.
