They saw nothing on the cameras except the neighbor's kid.
– "Someone definitely saw me naked."
– "Honey, you were screaming so loudly that… Maybe you imagined it?"
– "Hmm. No… Strange… Maybe I’m hallucinating, but thank you, it was nice."
– "Today, let's just drink tea," suggested Valera. The day passed, and as always, he was getting ready for work. Valera wasn’t afraid of being late. As the boss, he couldn't be late by definition, so sex with his wife was always whenever they both wanted it, but today was a special case and he needed to be on time at work. His wife was sitting on the couch in a sweater and jeans, drinking tea and watching TV.
– "No, honey, not today, and I'm not in the mood. Yesterday was something… yeah… we'll probably be satisfied for a long time."
– "That's true," he poured himself some tea and was about to sit down next to her when the TV announced, "In criminal news, a certain Sergey Skvortsov has been detained for a computer attack on the country's largest bank. He had been sought for a long time…"
– "It’s him! He was here!" shouted Vera.
– "Who???" Her husband almost spilled his tea.
– "Skvortsov!"
– "Honey," he sat down next to her, now worried for his wife, "that guy was blowing up the bank's computer system at that very time yesterday."
– "Seryozha! Am I crazy?"
He hugged his wife, soon got dressed, and left for work. She took her mobile phone and dialed the number of an acquaintance investigator.
– "Mal’tsev, hi."
– "Hello, my dear."
– "Oh God, how nice! My husband doesn’t call me that!"
– "Well, you know how I feel about you!"
– "Yes, you admire me!" He laughed in response.
– "Verunya, what's happened?"
– "Listen, something… Can I come to you?"
– "Come, I'm waiting," Mal’tsev said and hung up.
Interrogation Room. Mal’tsev, as usual, stood by the window, admiring the sunset. There was a knock on the door and Vera appeared.
– "Vera, darling, hi." He approached her, extending his hands warmly.
– "Sweetheart, only you call me that."
– "And your husband?"
– "Oh, Petya, don’t even ask. He loves me, but it's somehow dry. The sex is great, but there’s no tenderness, no romance."
– "Oh, woman, you are a treasure!"
– "Petya," she changed her tone, "Did you arrest that guy shown in the news?"
– "Well, not me, but my district did. I'm handling the case. So what?" She detailed everything that happened the day before.
