Alex Karte left Dr. Mueller’s office feeling upset. The doctor said that with his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease, he would be able to survive without a transplant for no more than a month, and Mr. Karte did not have a related donor who would donate his kidney to him. Every time Alex visited the doctor, he hoped for a miracle, but alas, the miracle did not happen. He had long since started exploring the black market for organ sales, but he was afraid to trust anyone. But now it’s time to take a chance – otherwise goodbye, life. And he really wanted to live for at least ten more years, and even for five years.

Alex Karte was a well-off man, formerly a well-known German lawyer, and now retired. He had a beloved wife, a daughter, a respectable house in Bavaria, and a quiet, measured life. Everything would have been fine if his health hadn’t failed. In recent years, he has been doing nothing but his treatment, but the situation has gradually worsened anyway. And now he was facing a serious decision.

Arriving home, Alex opened his laptop, found in it the contacts of a Turkish company that guaranteed to find a donor and perform a kidney transplant for 130 thousand dollars, and slowly dialed the number.

On the other end, he heard a pleasant female voice:

– Merhaba, this is the office of the Anakhtar company, how can I help you?

– I urgently need a kidney transplant donor – can you help me with this promptly?

– We select a donor within three days after the payment is credited to our company’s account. The operation is carried out in Turkey, Dubai or India, at the client’s choice. Send a request and medical statements to our email address, and we will send you an invoice for fifty percent of the full package of services, and you will pay the rest before the operation. Do you still have any questions?

– How is the operation going? Is a diseased kidney removed with a one-time transplant of a new kidney, or is a healthy kidney simply transplanted without removing the old one?

– It all depends on each specific patient’s situation, it is decided by the doctor immediately before the operation.

– Thanks, – Alex said, and hung up.

After the conversation, he decided to send a request to the email address listed on their website, attached all his latest medical reports and resolutely clicked on sending the letter.

No one was at home, his wife taught at the university, and his daughter worked as a researcher at the Bavarian National Museum.

Alex turned on his favorite composer Vivaldi, “The Four Seasons,” and he especially liked “Summer.”

To the music of Vivaldi, Alex Karte, comfortably stretched out in a rocking chair, fell into a deep senile sleep.
