In May, the company began its complexity. At first glance, everything was fine: we have evolved, with sales growing, the number of employees increased. But inside, things were not so easy - I did not have accurate data on hand, but saw that Edward became more irritable, more often absent from the office. So one evening I caught a moment when no one but us in the office left, and went in his office.
- What's happening?
- All's Well - Edward raised his head from behind the laptop.
- I can see. I think that is better for me to know in advance if we have problems.
- It's You does not apply.
- Yes!
- Not in that sense. This is my problem - Edward was silent for several moments. - Remember, I talked about the duty on business development. As it happens, that now the man in the same team with my former boss. And the interest just grew. The town is small, cramped - my lender decided not to risk it. So what I need return all the money in a month and entirety.
- How much?
- three million and five hundred thousand for interest.
- Decent.
- I just do not so much now. Something broke up into small expenses and salary. Something invested in the purchase. Frankly, I even have nothing to sell - I live in a rented apartment.
- bad. What do you think do?
- There is little thought. Do not worry, break through.
little thought, as I later learned, was desperate. Edward decided to get into the tender of delivery techniques for local power plants. The basis of delivery is complicated server technology, in which Edward knew nothing about, but somewhere found a solution with minimum cost - Almost nothing has been laying in the profits. By an ingenious idea of \u200b\u200bEdward, winning this tender, he would have received about five million prepayment of which could pay the debt immediately, and even make a prepayment for the supply of equipment wholesalers. And there - have already led to some of the money from the business, something to get out of debt buyers something - with new orders. And would take a few more credits. Business would have been saved.
did not consider Edward only one, in spite of federal subordination, in chairs buyer were local residents who, for obvious reasons, they wanted to ride good cars, and once or twice a year to travel to expensive European resorts. Having to participate Edward request, they provided information about her to another company, which also participated in the competition - it was the former firm of Edward.
That day I was late to work, I had a medical board in the military. By this time I could lie down on the day care at a local hospital, where his mother had many friends - The right conclusion, I got easy, although not free. Medical board decision was unanimous - unfit due to illness. It only remained to get a military ID, но это уже мелочи, так что я подошел к офису в крайне хорошем настроении где-то в третьем часу дня.
Офис окружали люди в камуфляже, но это были не милиционеры. Going a little closer, I was able to consider the emblem of one of the few security companies in the city. I walked past - in a cafe adjacent to an office building, and dialed our secretary.
- Lena! What people around the office.
- Oh, Eugene V.! What's going on! - From the intense emotional interjections speech, I hardly knew that in the morning Edward did not go to work, and about noon came a young man who presented a paper on the reissue of society in his name. Since then, being seizure of documents and files from your computer. All admit, no one is released. Phone Edward does not respond.
My condition close to panic. Я стал перебирать в памяти все, что мог оставить на рабочем компьютере. И вот она святая предусмотрительность - никогда целиком не доверяя Эдуарду, я хранил basic operating information on the external drive - working with him. So my computer was always pretty empty. I enjoyed gmaylovskoy mail (gmail.com - Note aut.) - find the correspondence was also impossible. The office was just from my personal business, and employment history.
was left to figure out where the missing Edward. The first thought was - had fled. I called his wife, I really did not know her, but her phone I had - once Edward got drunk and had to find his wife's phone to find out the address where to deliver the body. Ella, was the name of the spouse in the conversation burst into tears - yesterday Edward never came home. I panicked even more. Went over in my head a few options and vyzvonil old friend Elvira from the clinic and asked for the evening as guests. I needed somewhere to sit out. Just in case.
rest of the day I sat, sipping coffee, in front of his house, waiting for the screech of brakes and the guys in black fatigues. But nothing happened. There was not even stand continuously cars with passengers - I waited at least surveillance. Quite a normal day. Only now Edward was gone, and the company seized by raiders.
Night Away was nervous, but after a few glasses of cognac I had a little stop shivering. All this time, Elvira just looked at me and then went to sleep. A little later, I found the strength to get до кровати и свернуться калачиком, не раздеваясь.
Утром моя медсестра растолкала меня.
- Эй, лежебока! Я не ты, мне на работу надо. Вставай!
- А можно я с тобой? - Suddenly, unexpectedly, I asked for it.
- Hmm. Well, look, I have now the duty room at the hospital, I was there at half-time. I do not know from whom you hide, but I'll be able to attach you in ordinatorskoy, sit there until the end of the day.
- Ok, I will not interfere.
- Ha! Just try it! One shot of sedative and thou shalt lie in sedated, - Elvira laughed.
But to sit in ordinatorskoy I did not have. Because I found Edward. When we passed the receptionist, a nurse was driving past the stretcher, a man on whom seemed familiar. His face was very swollen, but still looking up from Elvira, I went and dumb - in front of me was Edward: beaten, foot in the popular print, but still it was.
- El! What happened to him?
- You know him? - Elvira came to me and asked to sign a male nurse not to push on a stretcher.
- This is my director.
- have you got a good boss. Dai, look history - turned to a nurse, Elvira. He handed it to her care. - Tex, delivered just that soon. Documents with them were not, recorded as Eduard Pinnacles. So?
- Yes, it's all true.
- OK, not come up with the doctors - hence, was conscious when found. Open leg fracture, the displacement nasal septum, the cracks in the five ribs, a broken pair of fingers. Recorded in the operation - Elvira back story nurse, and he rode on a stretcher. - Will lie in the first compartment. What do you have happened?
- Oh, just little things. Forgive me, I should his wife call. Later I'll get back to you.
- As you know, I have to go.
Elvira left, and I dialed his wife of Edward - she learned the news, reported that already goes only to the neighbor kids leave. We met in the waiting room, where by a short-lived altercation with the staff identified the Edward and gained access to his room, so only he was on operations.
in Russian hospitals are not accepted wait in the corridors - or you are visiting a patient at certain hours, or outside the facility. But money can work wonders. We waited for the end operation, after which the doctor reported that the patient is completely healthy, but limp, is likely to remain for a lifetime.
thing the police have got on the fact of the statement wife of Edward. But it came to nothing lead. When Edward came to himself, he clearly has to adhere to the version that he was beaten by bullies, documents and money confiscated they are the same. Thus, no one in the bodies of linked cases of the seizure of the company and the beating did not, and did not want. The wife cried, begged, but Edward continued to insist on his own.
firm after passing into other hands did not last long - a month later it was bought by the new owner, former director of the Edward and made a branch of their own. The transaction went smoothly - no one even lost jobs. But I and a couple of guys had resigned themselves - we are disgusted to work with those who have acted similarly. Women were - their role and we had a minor and who is the team - they did not care. In early June, Edward was released from hospital - on crutches. His wife was a working day, and she could not take time off, as was done on all that she could while she was a nurse for her husband. Edward I took away.
whole trip Eduard silent and then asked to stay at the bar, where we sometimes sat in a glass or two. He humbly asked me for a loan and ordered just three pollitrovyh circles. After drinking one gulp, he finished the second half, ate squid rings, and began his story.
- They intercepted me almost at the house, bundled into a car, themselves sat on the left and the right not to twitching - I felt as if was in a movie from the TV about the gangsters of the nineties. But I soon realized that this was not a movie. After about forty minutes, even in total darkness, we arrived at the old cemetery. One bull brought me out of the car under the lights, the second took a shovel and threw it to me.
- Dig - with these words, the driver left the vehicle and arms akimbo, was picking his teeth.
- What is dig? - I asked.
- Tomb dig yourself, you moron! - To withdraw bull.
- not worth it to you to climb your own business, Edward - the driver said. And you know how much I hate it when they call me.
- And what, you kill me? - Nothing smarter than I am could not ask. And so it was terribly terribly.
- You dig. We'll see.
I continued to stand post. Not because I did not want to dig. I like life before your eyes swept. I was in complete stupor. And I overcame fear. Not for himself, for Ella, for the children. While lying. For myself, too. Suddenly wanted to live so!
Then came one of Bugaev and struck. I like all the air from the lungs left. And he hit a few more times and then ordered to dig. And you know - I started to dig. I do not know why. Just picked a shovel and started digging. When I became absorbed in his knee, drove another car. From it came a man. Because of the headlights and swollen eyelids, I really could not see him. Yes, and still his voice was unfamiliar to me.
- enough to dig, keep it here - when I brought, I considered the front of the paper laid out on the leather folder. - Sign it here and here.
And I signed it. Without asking what it is. My hand was shaking - the signature came out uneven. The man slammed the folder.
- Where are his passport? - He asked driver. He handed him my jacket, where the visitor has learned documents and put them in a folder. - Complete, call me.
machine is gone, and I started beating him. But the pain was gone. I almost switched off after the first attacks. The body seemed numb. Only once I started when one of Bugaev jumped on my foot, pre- pulling it across my grave. Started and shut down. Came to his senses already on the highway near the city. Before me were the eyes. Perhaps it was the driver's eyes - because I heard his voice. His eyes were wild, crazy.
- You beat the bullies. Hold on to this version and you will live. I think that today was born a second time - his eyes disappeared, slammed the car door and the roar of the engine told me that I was alone. Soon, however, my body was snatched from the dark lights of another car - I lay directly on the roadway. Around me someone fussing, then ambulance arrived - the rest you know. And when I learned that the company pressed, the questions that I signed it - Starring themselves. To deal with them - and nafig necessary. Life is expensive. So sorry that I failed you wait. Not turned in my business.
Edward finished the story and at one gulp emptied before the end of the last cup. I ordered another one.
- for our company - we gently clinked glasses and otpili a sip. - Peace be upon her.
for me this phrase means one thing - with off-line work is complete. A month later, Edward went to his parents' home in Chisinau, and more, I never saw him again. A firm its former director and now works, but on the basis of the franchise a famous federal trademark. They say, quite successfully.
