Chapter 3: The Days of Youth Shine and Crumble

Russia

“So, where were we?”

Lingerin’s hands rattled as he shook them, still stuck inside the pots.

But in contrast to his jaunty tone of voice, the place where he stood was one of raw violence.

The stench of blood filled the room. But even stronger was the pungent smell of gunpowder, the haze of smoke blotting out the red accents that covered the floor here and there.

A pile of bodies lay around Lingerin’s feet. Men of obviously foreign origin, presumably the illegal stowaways mentioned earlier, now sacks of flesh, their heads and torsos streaming blood.

And yet the men still living were virtually unchanged from before.

Drakon stood at Lingerin’s side, wiping steam residue from his glasses, while the men in special-forces gear warily eyed the surroundings in silence.

“We were talking about Vorona and Slon, Comrade Lingerin.”

“Oh, right, right. These guys came and interrupted us. They were not aware of the situation. That’s how you wind up dead,” Lingerin murmured heavily. He spread his potted hands wide and exclaimed, “Awareness is a very important skill! Denis and Simon were always very good at that. Certainly enough to scamper away to Japan just before we faced our greatest test.”

“You mean the time that we raided the security company hired by our business rival to send them a message.”

“Hoo boy, I sure thought I was going to die then. Well, that was a case where I was not being very aware. I failed to anticipate that they would have a whole boatload of former Spetsnaz in there. We were missing on purpose to threaten them, but they were very inconsiderate and actually tried to kill us!”

Drakon studiously placed his glasses back on his nose as his employer guffawed and stated clinically, “When the military was heavily reduced postperestroika, many Spetsnaz lost their jobs. As a means of employment, many wound up in private security and the mafia—a warning which I have given to you approximately twenty-three times since the dissolution of the CCCP, but it seems you were not listening.”

“How was I to know? Most of the members I knew went straight into mercenary work… Besides, is this really the time to criticize me? Surprisingly you seem to not be attentive, Drakon.”

“The most potent lack of awareness in this scene is the state of your hands, Comrade Lingerin.”

It was not said with hatred, disgust, or anger. It was simply the truth: His employer looked like a bear that had gotten both paws stuck in beehives.

Lingerin slowly turned away and then laughed to draw attention away. “It’s not as if I did this on purpo—”

A pot burst with a sudden eruption of noise.

Emerging from the right-hand pot was the gleaming barrel of a pistol. Smoke trailed upward from the muzzle as shards of broken pottery rained down onto the bodies on the floor.

A second later came the gurgling sound of spilling liquid.

Drakon looked down to see that a foreign migrant lying on the floor, who had previously been playing dead, was now drooling blood from his mouth.
