Chapter 8
Moving carefully, I locked the car. Then I straightened up and turned around. I could see the shadowy figure of someone standing beneath a tree.
âI prefer to see the person Iâm speaking to,â I said. âIf you donât care to show yourself, I will go to my apartment. It is late and I have much work to do tomorrow.â
He chuckled and stepped out where the street light showed his face. I sighed, partly from relief and partly from anger. It was the man Irina had pointed out to me in the restaurant.
âI am Grigory Masinov,â he said, âof the KGB.â
âThatâs very interesting,â I said, âbut I fail to see what it has to do with me.â
âI am also sometimes known as Tolstoi. And you are Uncle Vanya.â
âThanks,â I said drily. âTell me some more. Like why you come up to me with this story and why youâre here now.â
âItâs nothing,â he said. âI got a message from Sasha that you were going to be here on an important mission. I am to work under your orders. I have already arranged to be assigned to guard you and watch you. That will make it easier for us to talk. I waited for you tonight so that you will not be taken by surprise when I show up in your office tomorrow morning.â
âThatâs all?â I asked.
âThatâs all for tonight.â
âThen Iâll see you tomorrow,â I said shortly.
I turned and walked to the entrance of my building. I noticed that there was a guard on duty. He looked at me briefly and wrote something in a book in front of him. He was sitting in a small cubicle, which gave him a clear view of everyone entering or leaving the wing. I went on upstairs.
It was late, but the first thing I did was to make myself a good stiff drink. I turned on the radio and sat down to think. It was a hell of a situation. I was accustomed to working alone. Now, I had been in Moscow only slightly more than one day and I was surrounded by agentsâand a refugee gangster. Not only that, so far none of the agents knew a damned thing, but they were falling all over themselves getting to me instead of waiting for me to contact them. Then there was the message Iâd gotten at the drop, which said that one of the four agents I was supposed to contact was not to be trusted.
Which one? If only one of the four had been eager to reach me it might have been a lead. So far, three had already gotten to me, and I had a hunch the other one would appear soon. And one of them would be trying to set a trap For me. Iâd have to play that one out and try to spot which it was.
There was another problem that bothered me even more. Two of the agents, Marya and Irina, had no information at all on the things I needed to know.
