  The bus drove on, gradually the whispering almost stopped, probably people were thinking about what they had heard and seen. Igor just now noticed that he has been traveling for a long time almost in the center of the city, and there are only three left before his stop. The bus stopped at another stop and new passengers came in, two men, one of them coughed and looked somehow painful, a woman and a girl with a stroller. She took a place near the window right behind Igor, the Doors closed and the bus drove off, past two police cars and one ambulance with the sirens on.

 "Has something happened again?"

A girl with a stroller whispered

Igor thought to himself

–I wonder why again?

The bus finally stopped at the right stop, and Igor left. He walked along the path across to a smaller park, followed by a theater with a rhythm. Suddenly again, somewhere in the distance, sirens rang out. Something was happening in the city. Igor walked straight, then turned left and found himself in the park, there were not a few people in the park, one man sitting on the bench, attracted his attention, he was sitting somehow strangely in a non-natural position and quite still and not bending his head on his side. The face was not visible as he sat with his back to Igor. The guy on the back ran creepy, he was already thinking whether to go see what happened to him, suddenly the man moved, rose from the bench. He wore a thin shirt with short sleeves, thin light trousers, he went somehow strangely uncoordinated. Probably drunk, Igor thought, and decided not to stop and go on. Already after five minutes he was in the theater and walked along the service corridor past the guard. He had already passed through the security room when suddenly someone called to him, it was Kostya the guard. He was tall, broad-shouldered, completely bald, with blue eyes. He was friends with Igor and his brother Sergei. Kostya nodded Igor to his room.

–What happened?

Igor asked cautiously.

Kostya looked around, then closed the door to the room, and only then did he answer.

– You understand with me this happened in the morning and I need to share it with someone, but only you and my brother, my friends, your brother is not up to the talk of today's work more than usual, and now I see you thinking, though I'll tell you everything.

– Are you talking about this strange epidemic?

– Yes, I think that this is all connected, okay, listen I go it means to myself calmly today early in the morning to work, suddenly I hear a cry, help it bit it! I went to see what happened, it turned out, screamed a woman, I see she is standing in the alley with some guy, he stands leaning against the wall with a pale look and he has blood on his shoulder. I did not even have time to ask what happened when the police crew arrived, and with them, for some reason, two quick help. The woman and the man were immediately sent to one of them to the hospital, and they told me in rude form if they were going where they were going. I pretended that I was leaving, but I myself hid behind a nearby car. And I see two policemen coming into the alley, two flashes flashed from the alley, I think they were shots although no sound was possible, they used mufflers, then the ambulance opened and two doctors with stretchers came out, the doctors were in special suits who put on with dangerous viruses, followed by another couple of doctors in the same suits and also with a stretcher, and a minute later another they were walking back on a stretcher lying bodies covered with some kind of cloth, then they showed up and the police they got into the car and drove off , while in Achi loaded the body into the ambulance and drove off in a trail behind them. Kostya fell silent, there was complete silence, broken only by the sounds of a working computer

–What the hell is going on in the city?

Violated the silence of Igor

–Good question.

Kostya answered him. Igor just realized that he was already late for work, he quickly said goodbye to Kostya, and went to his room. A few minutes later he was at his workplace and took his clothes. Today in the wardrobe was only two Igor and Valentina, (mostly in the wardrobe worked only pensioners), as it turned out, many people fell ill at the theater, in fact, it affected all the staff. The performance started, people came a little, and despite the warm weather, even the anomalously hot, as they said in the news, some came as much in jackets. Igor plopped down on a chair, the story of Kostya made him think hard. Igor woke up from his thoughts only when he realized that people were coming in and an intermission began. He was dressed four people, they were obviously sick all the time coughing and they obviously froze, and one man was already shaking, he took his jacket though he had a light jacket, but did not go to the exit, he went back to the hall, a few minutes later the performance began , the remaining time Igor sat in meditation, but suddenly when there was no more than five minutes left till the end of the play, two men and a woman descended into the foyer, the man was already barely standing on his feet, she put him on the sofa near the door and herself began to call somewhere. Igor, on the back ran a chill, because it was the man who wore it and which swayed. Sometime later, police went to the theater, he began to say something to the woman, then went to the doctors with a stretcher, and another guardian of order, the doctors put a man on a stretcher, and a representative of the authorities something whispered to the doctor, the police left with the woman, after them doctors with a stretcher were stitched.
