CHAPTER 3. THE COVID-19 VIRUS HAS SPREAD RAPIDLY AROUND THE WORLD — THREE-FOUR

"It's clear! They launched a scary disease so that everyone would rush to get vaccinated in order to stay alive. The world will be divided into Putin's robots and the robots of the global elite! What interests me most is whether you received confirmation of your guess from high-ranking agents. I don't think you have agents of that level, but I have no doubt that there are agents among you, and I advise you to pay attention to the accountant," I began a new round of investigation into their organization.

"Why don't you suspect me? As a public relations specialist, I'm the one who's everywhere! I'm constantly negotiating with them," he stunned me.

"I'm not here for fun. Instead of wasting your time, let's make it so that you work for me. I'll call you Ilyich. Or maybe not me. Just know that when someone comes from me, they will ask to talk to Ilyich. Or maybe there won't be anyone at all. Just keep that in mind. And today or tomorrow, you'll do me a favor, and for now, it'll be the last one," I said boldly, throwing off any embarrassment.

“You're so cheeky!” he praised me with his tone of voice.

“I'm just learning. Take me to Sohnut today before closing and tomorrow before opening. I need to study faces. For that, I need optics. Can you get them right now, without buying them?” I continued to take everything from life that it didn't even promise.

“So we're on the right track. We’ll just swing by the warehouse and return — no one will notice we borrowed the optics,” he confirmed Fortune's benevolence.

A couple of hours later, Ilyich passed through the eye of the needle at the entrance to the Moscow Sochnut and asked for help for his friend in resolving visa issues. As a result, a phone call was made to the very same shaliah who was conducting the reception at the embassy. The result was a formal response that too little time had passed, but it was worth coming back tomorrow during working hours.

Until closing time and for an hour after, surveillance was conducted from a parked car. The tired faces of the employees were memorized so that the next morning, by process of elimination, the person who might bring the promised help from the embassy could be identified.
