Diamond’s
ОглавлениеIgor met her in the company store “Diamond”. She stood behind the counter showcase where adorned with gold rings glittering with diamonds inserted. Glitter jewelers beckoned Igor colorful play of light, iridescent sparks spy Hive polished stones. Enchanted magic power of gold and glitter of diamonds he did not immediately realize that it has been broken sticks out half an hour here.
– You want something to buy? – Singing girl’s voice brought him out of oblivion and reverie. The guy knew that speaks directly to him, and lifted up his eyes, tearing them from the light of jewelry in the window. Two emeralds shone no longer in the window and in front of an attractive girl, extraterrestrial sparkling light, tenderly looking at Igor. The boy was struck by this view, as they say on the spot. Magic and some attractive force lived in them.
– You want something to buy? – I sang the girl again. But he continued to treat her. Golden hair color shade depth eyes gave clear depths of the sea. A correct oval face, her mouth a little chubby and a little upturned nose, gave resemblance to the beauty queen, whose portrait he had seen in one of the American magazines, bought at a kiosk printing.
– I, I, I look like this, – said Igor embarrassed. And having seized him, continued, – And tell me, how to distinguish between a normal diamond from a real diamond?
She abruptly turned away to hide a smile and pretending that someone was looking eyes turned to the guy to control himself and has profound connoisseur, began to explain: – Diamond is the same, but…
But he was not listening to her. Igor admired her as just admiring the brilliance of precious stones.
– And your a stone? – Has brought to the consciousness of Igor.
– What did you say? – Mechanically he asked.
– And your a stone? – And with curiosity began to look at the guy, and then added, – My Sapphire!
– My Emerald. – Igor answered at random, without delving into the symbolism of stones.
– And you, which one is most like?
– Emerald – repeated guy looking at the beautiful eyes of the girl, then cautiously added, can I take you home after work?
– I live near here and get home very quickly. I was just one stop on the pass line trolley.
– Okay, so after work I’m waiting for you at the entrance. – So saying, he turned abruptly and walked out of the store.
In the morning, Igor told his friend Oleg, he met with an amazing girl.
– And what, you went to the movies with her, accompanied her and even kissed? – asked Oleg. What will happen to meet her again. At that Oleg busily boomed: – Come on, come on, keep up with soaring living. And most importantly, do not forget, she’s from the Department of diamonds.
– I will not forget, but with her, I think, forget everything…
Friends walked through the plant in the flow of workers. They waited for the shift. Igor technology department, Oleg metalwork shop.
Igor graduated from the faculty of the Institute of Technology; he joined the factory as an intern, where he met with Oleg. Oleg liked Igor like a mighty big man. He had a surprisingly shy and timid child at a meeting with the girls. Igor, on the contrary, behaved naturally in their circle freely, even a little self-confidence that impressed Oleg. The two friends could often be seen in the city park, where they spend the majority of time off work. Today, after the change, we met friends in the alley of the park and strolling discussed here for the umpteenth time the same question, a question of money production.
Igor was slightly below Oleg. But boots on the platform of fashion, gave him a little more growth and it becomes somewhat above average. He was dressed in gray, mouse color, costume, which used to go to work. Long black hair, nose and chin slightly extended, were the stroke profile of the modern man who liked women. In addition to all of his blue eyes insolent with scattered eyes staring at the female sex, enveloping mist mysterious mystery.
In contrast, Oleg, Igor was the opposite. High strength to bear guy, different loud bass. His face was always sullen, prickly eyes looking at others from under frowning eyebrows. Heavy massive chin spoke of uncommon strength of its owner Close-cropped hair and a small flat nose, gave him the look of a heavyweight boxer. Common interests and hobbies have combined these different people, cementing friendship. Both liked to drink. Before meeting with Igor Oleg drank everything from alcohol and vodka factory to cheap wine, the so-called “ink”. But then came the life of Oleg, Igor and led him into the world of luxury wines, cognacs and smart women. Naturally the money for all this they did not have. A whirlwind of carbon already circled the imagination, creating a picture of the exciting entertainment.
– We like air needed money. – Said Oleg, inciting shoe yellowed leaves in the alley of the park.
– Yes, my dear boy, I had to feel it too. Listen, you could sell the diamonds?
– What?
– And, in general you are oak in these matters. Well, okay, I listen, I have an idea. – Igor has told all that Lena was the name of the girl with emerald eyes, has long bothered him that he wants to take the diamonds in the store. What she told him in detail about the alarm and location of surveillance cameras and a method of storing valuables.
– Do not! Do not go! – I protested after hearing Oleg.
– Why?
– What kind of a fool to get into the store alarm. You do not have to cope with.
– What do you suggest?
– In the afternoon to pick them up.
– And, you know, you’re right. Leaving one rescue, saleswomen go to dinner.
At the next meeting with Lena, Igor found out when she is on duty. And every detail outlined his plan to Oleg. In the morning one-time friends took leave. Time passed quickly in the cinema
around 13—00, they came out of the theater. Igor came to the store alone. He was holding a briefcase. Lena met his friendly smile.
– Igor, I have waited for you, you brought that promise?
– Yes. – He said. – Let’s go to the room.
The back room was a table with two chairs. The walls are also very often consisted of a set into the safe where valuables were kept. There also hid them in the night. Igor went in and put in on the table bag, opened it, and then not giving time to recover Lena, a towel soaked with chloroform, wrapped her head fiercely resisted the girl. When the body is dropped limply to the floor, he took a towel, put it in his briefcase and walked out of the room.
When returning from dinner saleswoman discovered Broken Glass counter with stolen jewels and Lena sleeping in the back by a strong dose of anesthesia, immediately called the police.
Oleg met Igor in the doorway of a neighboring house. By taxi, they got to the airport. The plane brought criminals in Odessa. There are two diamond brooches in denominations of twenty thousand dollars, the captain of the Italian ship bound for US ports, promised to take them to New York.
Friends cheered. They took a cabin in a comfortable passenger cabin. Tightly supper, and noting the deal fair whiskey “Jameson”, they went to sleep. At night in the open sea in their cabin quietly opened the door, letting in five people in a sailor’s uniform. Without saying a word, they tied Igor, thrusting his pre-gag in her mouth, Oleg was not there. During this time, he watered the waves of the Black Sea whiskey from the torment of his seasickness. splashed another batch in the sea, it became a little easier, and he decided to return to the cabin. Coming closer, I saw two guys go out the door of his cabin. The night was dark and he could not see. He hid behind a corner, and then began to observe what would happen next. The two that were signed to the deck of the cabin and the rest dragged associated Igor. With the fire board, Oleg took the gaff and went to the aid of another. Cutting the skull two of the sailors, three of the remaining darted away, leaving the bound body of another. Oleg untied him and said to him:
– It is necessary to pass the buck with this ship.
– And the diamonds? – Igor asked anxiously.
– I was still asleep when you went out and hid under canvas bag lifeboat. Come quickly, while we did not have. They shadow slid to the boat and quickly became one of them down to the water. When the boat reached the sea themselves descended the ladder and pushed off from the ship sailed away into the open sea. This morning on the boat, they found the light of day emergency supply of water, dry rations and briefcase stolen jewelry that Oleg hid on this boat.
– You know, my brother, because you saved my life. – Looking into the eyes of Oleg, Igor said.
– A friend is you to me, or what? – Oleg sluggish boomed.
– That’s what we can not show our treasure to anyone else. Now we’re the victims. When we pick up, no one should find diamonds and gold. Let’s split evenly and hide on itself so that no dog is not found.
Oleg nodded, took a seat on the portfolio and the boat began to lay out the jewelry.
– You have a belt on his trousers, leather or tailored? – Said Igor.
– Made of artificial leather. – Oleg replied.
– So it is a double, and there is much to push your share.
– A brooch?
– And that brooch? – Said Igor.
– Well, if you smash?
– You do not lose anything. Gold, as gold, so it will remain, and diamonds as well, okay?
– Aye, Captain!
They laughed their salvation and began to hide treasures in the trouser belt. All went remarkably well. None of the product is not lost, and was neatly squeezed into the seat. Then belts solemnly hoisted on the location, on the trousers. The portfolio was solemnly committed to the sea, and friends began to drift into the blue expanse of the Black Sea until they picked up a Spanish merchant ship bound for Spain from Turkey.
