"Hey, bro, you don't need a job?"he said in a hoarse voice.
I looked around, there was no one around me.
"Yes you, you say, a hundred bucks a day plus a meal, but we must decide right now»
"And what should be done?"I asked.
"You worked as a security guard? Well, that's generally the same, but the level is different. So what? Thinking?".
"Well, I can't right now… I have a shift in the morning. If there is only according to the schedule agree»
"You che you are stupid, you brother, you on change for a month pay so much how many here in two days you will have, let solve a question, and tomorrow evening after six we will approach you".
All evening I was tormented by doubts: "it is Interesting, it is interesting, money certainly would not prevent very much, but that there for work such highly paid and why addressed to me – it is not clear. I did not quit yet, I agreed with the shift workers to work together for a couple of weeks without me, and then the situation will become clear."
In the evening of the next day I got a call at the door. On the threshold stood the same clean-shaven man. Without waiting for my invitation, he came, threw on my sofa, ironed strict suit, a large package of food and said that tomorrow at six in the morning will come for me.
"You have to be at the parade by six, full, clean and shaved," the uninvited guest said, pointing to his beard.
"Wait, I haven't agreed to work with you yet?»
"Do you mind?"– don't looking back already sitting in the doorway, delivered the guy.
It was somehow not with his hands, and feeling his intonation is insecure.
"No…" I said hoarsely.
"So, until six in the morning" – a man slammed the door.

In the left package there were fresh vegetables, baked ham, two kinds of sausages, shrimp in vinegar, fresh loaf, Ukrainian bread, red caviar – tasty…, and some convolutions with cookies and some sweets.
Rights was Alentova in the movie "Moscow does not believe in tears," saying that after forty life is just beginning. Full and happy I lay down on the sofa, turned on the old TV and dozed off quietly.

A knock on the door woke me up. When I opened it, I saw the same man who promised to stop by at six in the morning yesterday.
