11:44 p.m. July 21.
I was led to the end room of the corridor, where Cepino, who had a short mustache and narrow sideburns, was located. It was the first time I'd seen this guy, but I knew at once that he was no genius. I could see nothing interesting in his face. It seemed too trivial, even with the extra vegetation. The eyes are just empty and seemingly monochromatic (black circle on a white background). The forehead was too narrow, and if you could tell the weight of brains by it, anyone would say: "About 200 grams."
"Vice-boss," – quipped our young man. "What?"
"Now that's what you should be called…" "Call me Faust and don't call me Faust." "Whatever you say…"
"The brake lights don't work?"
"Yes, yes… Whatever you say… Anyway, there's a meeting with Koschei the Immortal…"
"You didn't get anything mixed up, did you?" "No."
"Are you sure?" "Yes."
"So who's the meeting with?" "With Koschei."
"Alright, Serpent Gorynych, you better tell me who he is and why we should mess with him?"
"He's the new head of the local mafia…"
"You must be the first to answer my first question." "His name is Koschey…"
"Cool. Someone tell me, are there any other smart people inducted here?"
Galanzio, standing behind me raised his voice, "No one else knows the situation except the Ambassador and Cepino, sorry."
"Nothing, Jarno, it's not your fault… So, Gorynych, tell me, what's his first and last name?"
"José Mortain." "A Frenchman?" "Yes."
"Have you looked at the dossier?" "No."
"Then what makes you think he's a he?" "Well… Last name and first name…"
"And my name is Faust, that I am a German?" "Ah, don't you think so?"
"Your next task will be a dossier." "Will do."
"Next. What does he want?" "Wants to talk…"
"I realize it's not to go to the bathhouse. What does he want?" "Talk…"
"Yeah, about what, your three-headed head." "About the case."
"Which one?" "Obviously important."
"Uh, how about a little more specific?" "I don't get it."
"Do you know what this is about?" "No. He just wanted to meet…" "He doesn't have a cell phone?" "He doesn't trust him."
"Have you, what, already tried it?". "I don't, the boss does."
"Well, okay I'll try it too. Isn't he a 'lefty' by any chance?" "What do you mean?"
