Objekt 825

Tracie’s initial sense about the homes on either side of Commander Morozov’s being empty was proven correct. She checked multiple windows on both structures and found their interiors to be vacant, not just of residents but of furniture as well. Whatever their purpose, neither was occupied at this time.

Her original plan had been to wait in the woods for Morozov to exit his home, thus minimizing the likelihood of being seen. Given the distance of the commander’s residence from the apartment complex, though, she no longer thought that precaution would be necessary. It was highly unlikely any apartment resident would peer across the expanse toward the commander’s home, and even more unlikely anyone would see Tracie should they do so. And there was by now enough daylight that she would observe anyone moving by car or on foot toward the homes from either direction in plenty of time to take cover.

So after satisfying herself that Morozov’s home was the only one occupied, Tracie approached it from an angle that would keep her hidden should he happen to glance out a window. Then she flattened herself against the wall on the side facing away from the apartment complex. She placed her backpack on the damp grass and then sat on it to await the commander’s appearance.

Her theory was that he would want to be inside his office by seven a.m.—lead by example, show the troops what real professionalism looked like, that sort of thing—but if not, if he were a late sleeper, she was perfectly willing to wait until eight or even nine, if necessary.

She had nowhere to be.

Sooner or later he would have to leave his house.
