“Snipers, return to the capsule,” Kmykh said and sank down to the deck.
Bill and Priscilla were shocked by what they saw.
“Hi brother,” – Bill said and hugged Kmykh.
"HI Bill. I see you are not bored here."
“It's some kind of nightmare,” – said Priscilla, and cried.
"Do you have cigarettes?" – Asked Kmykh from Bill, – "I want to smoke."
"No, these bandits smoked my Cuban cigars, took a bottle of real French wine, drank a box of beer and took two real currant bushes. I was going to sell them and pay off loans with Naibul Bank."
“Indeed,” – said Kmykh, but then he remembered that he would be able to read his thoughts in management and quickly added, “however", turning off the transmission of thoughts.”
“Okay, where can I park Maserati here?”
"You are really cool! There is space on the stern deck."
“Well, there I have some whitefish without excise taxes,” Kmykh said and asked Alice to turn on the hologram of the instrument panel of his capsule.
“Do you ride Maserati and buy without excise cigarettes? And where did you get the money for Maserati?"
"This is FSB property. I had to go to work FSB."
“How long have you been working there? You haven’t told me anything before.”
“Since you were taken hostage. By the way, they stole your deputy, and he himself brought them information from the GKZ library. I suppose he's at their base now. Why do they need him on the base? What do you think?"
“I think they will force him to do a project for drilling a tunnel into the royal palace” Looks like they want to get in there."
“Will you show me your house?”
“Yes, of course,” – said Bill and turned to Priscilla, – “bunny, you need to sleep. Good?"
“Good, hare,” – Priscilla laughed and went to the sleeping cabin.
Kmykh on the dashboard of Maserati noticed that snipers – drones had already plunged into the trunk. He turned on the start of the engines and began to direct the capsule towards the houseboat. He really wanted to smoke. When Bill and Eugene walked into control room, Kmykh had already planted Maserati in a guest place for capsules in the stern of the house. And Bill, meanwhile, activated his drone and turned on the autopilot of the houseboat in the direction of London. The house began to slowly pick up its six knots and cut low waves. Kmykh turned off the dashboard, got up from his chair and went to the capsule for cigarettes. He brought two cigarettes for Bill and himself, and then sat down in chair.
“Well, let's go. I'll show the house,” Bill said.
"Well, just let's have a smoke first. I wonder why Ippolite agreed to work for them and brought them information. How did they put pressure on him? He has no relatives in Britain. And terrorists cannot receive information about a person. It is all stored on the territory of the Royal Palace. Such information can only be obtained by the FSB upon request."
"He has an adult daughter on the moon. She has a small cafe for tourists."
"What is the name of this cafe?"
"I do not remember. Ippolite said that it was near the Chaika casino and in this cafe served vodka briquettes with the taste of sauerkraut. Yes, I still remember that she is 232 years old, and every year she happens to be updating the body in Britain. This is in Sklif in Moscow. Ippolite buys renewal for her body every year. Perhaps the bandits tracked Ippolite' payments through Naibul Bank."
"But Sklif does not accept payments from Naibul Bank, everyone knows that."
"Accepts, but requires showing the origin of the money. By the way, our dad always paid in advance for our body renewal. Now he is retired and we must take care and updating the body of dad in the first place. So far, I manage to buy updates for my dad every year. I mustn't lose my job."
