‘What do you mean, you recognised them?’

‘No.’ Bohdan sounded impatient. ‘They take my watch, they take my phone, they are professionals. That I recognise.’

‘Okay, go on.’

‘I am in the car for twenty-seven minutes.’

‘How do you know?’

‘I am a scientist. ’I measure time in my head. It is easy for me.’

Still arrogant, thought, Eli. Still thinks he’s cleverer than the rest of humanity.

‘The car goes in an easterly direction. They park the car in a… big place, for machines.’

‘Warehouse?’

‘That is the word,’ Bohdan said. ‘It is empty, under construction on an industrial estate. And they beat me up. As you see.’

‘Why did they let you go?’ Eli said, but he knew the answer.

‘Because I am clever. They are Russian. I tell them how my grandmother was Russian – which is true. But my father is Ukrainian. And how I am here because it was difficult in Ukraine. But I tell them that I really want to work for them.’

‘I see,’ Eli said despite his head whirring with the unexpected turn of events. ‘Did you tell them you already had a… er… second job?’

‘No. It is not their business. If I work for a Canadian marketing company, that has nothing to do with them.’

And you make more money. A lot more, you greedy bastard.

Bohdan continued. ‘They make phone call and then they put me in the trunk of the car, and they drop me where they picked me up. I get Uber, I go home.’
