hugged his wife and pressed her to him:
– Come on, this is just a guess. Nothing is known. Everything can be…
Chapter 5
The next morning, Olga called Margarita. She agreed to give Nadia a thing. Agreed to meet in the home of Timofeev. About ten o’clock in the morning yesterday the company arrived at the house at the address Voroshilovsky 91.
House Timofeev was a simple one storey wooden house, painted in blue and green paint. Fenced around by a fence of metal sheets, which once was green, but now the paint is all chipped off and burnt in the sun. In the yard there were buildings: a barn, a bath with a summer kitchen and a wooden toilet. In front of the house was a small garden in which are planted flowers, Apple trees and raspberry bushes. Behind the house a vegetable garden, where grew mostly potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Such homes make up the majority of the Russian villages and settlements, as well as areas of the private sector in the cities.
Olga dialed Margaret. Two minutes from the gates of the house came out 25 years old girl in tight shapely figure in jeans and blue t-shirt on the narrow straps, medium height with dark, bobbed under “Kare” hair and really bright makeup on his face and invited guests at the house.
– I’m Rita’s sister – Sonia – said the girl guests.
Inside the house were three small rooms and a kitchen. Instead of doors over the openings of the curtains were nailed, on which hung a crimson plush curtain. In the kitchen stood a small table covered with oilcloth with images of vegetables and fruits. Around the table some old chairs, painted with paint. At the table sat three figures: a woman of thirty, very similar to Sonia, only in contrast with bleached hair and a little older, and two men. The men were about the same age – thirty years old or younger. One of them with a bright, slightly reddish hair and gray eyes. Was dressed in athletic light gray pants and white t-shirt. He seemed fairly simple-as Ivan from a fairy tale. Second, on the contrary, looked like a lady – with a stylish haircut on her head, tight, beautiful figure white t-shirt and dark pants. Xenia noticed oil narrowed blue eyes on himself. Ksenia even thought that a man tries to seduce her, even though I was next to his wife. In the middle of the table on a wooden stand stood a large cast-iron frying pan with fried potatoes. Next metal bowl with a salad of cucumbers and tomatoes with onions, chunks of bread, a plate of sliced cooked sausage and bacon, a two-liter plastic bottle of beer, and glasses with spoons and forks. The woman rose from the table and walked over to the guests.
– Hello, it’s you, Margarita, Mama Nadi? several asked Olga approached the woman.
Olga was surprised that the Margarita was absolutely calm, no sign of grief on the woman’s face was not. On the contrary, it was evident that Margaret cares for him mentioned that she was in full makeup and with the hair on his head.
– Yes, I am the mother of Nadia. You asked for something, I’ll have a look. – Margaret replied, going to one of the rooms.
After a while she came out and gave Olga a baby pink blouse with rhinestones. Olga neatly folded baby thing and put it in the pocket of his windbreaker.
– Maybe you want to come with us on the search? We have room in the car for three more. – asked Sergey to the inhabitants of the house.
Margaret shrugged her shoulders and said to red:
– Andrew! What will it be?
– Go, – agreed the man.
Everyone, this is my husband Andrew, and it’s sister Sonia and her husband, Sasha, is pointing at them on the other said Margarita.
– Where you want to go? asked Lovelace Sasha.
– Want to check the garages in the area of sewage treatment facilities and in other places. We have a dog that can smell that thing now… Nadina replied Dmitry.
– I can’t go – I have a small child, now asleep. pointing towards one of the rooms said Sonya. – And you go.
Margarita with her husband and Alexander decided to go separately to his car. Garage complex, where they were heading, was located two kilometers from the house Timofeev, near sewage treatment facilities. Decided to walk around the whole area and thoroughly examine not only garages, but the areas around the garages. Dima took Rex’s leash and walked along the garages, stopping at each separately. Margarita and Olga were walking. Margarita knocked on the door and tried to shout to her daughter, hoping that she will hear it. The others went to explore the territory nearby. The people were few – a couple of car owners were each engaged in their business. Someone repaired the car, and someone dried the potatoes, scattering on the bags. Garages were located in several rows. At the end in the Bush were 20 pieces of old illegally-built metal garages, seemingly long abandoned. Around them lay a bunch of junk and old rusted parts from cars. Dmitry called brother:
– May try to break the locks and inspect the garages, there’s no one there?
– What! See – head Snitch! – Sergei looked around grinning.
– Yes we are careful nobody will see, get the tool from the machine!
Brother after some hesitation, went to the jeep, and ten minutes brought a small suitcase with tools:
– If it’s on you!
Dima a bit of hacking with the lock, opened it.
– Stay here and keep watch. I’ll look in the garage.
Dmitry took a lantern and went inside with Rex. Margaret walked behind them.
– Come on, Rex, look!
Inside the garage was littered with piles of junk: there were boards, old kitchen furniture, against the wall stood a ratty old sofa, the whole corner was full of old yellowed Newspapers and magazines alternated with plates. Dima shone the flashlights into every nook and ceiling:
– It is necessary to examine the cellar.
Lifting the metal cover on the floor, Dima lit pit: down a wooden staircase led.
– Nadia! cried Margaret. – Can you hear me? Are you here?
– I’ll go, – said Dima and climbed down the stairs.
– What is it? do Xenia.
Not really, there’s no one, ' said Dmitry.
Coming out of the garage and closed it behind him, began to decide what to do next. Dima looked at his companions and brother, who was on the lookout a little to the side and asked how strongly they are:
– Well, will continue to be open?
– Well we’re at it, let’s go to the end! – said Xenia.
So, one after another opened several garages, but the girls in them turned out. Going into the garage next to our search saw on the floor the mountain white – it turned out to be lime.
– Ksyusha, do you remember what Yuri was talking about lime? – looking at Ksenia, Dima said.
– Yes… –
