Soulless

A bright light hit Sakura’s eyes, covering her face with her hands, she turned away from the light source and tried to fall asleep, but she couldn’t, so she decided to wait a little longer to wake up. And so, when the dream was almost gone, she got up and looked around. The apartment wasn’t hers and she couldn’t figure out what kind of apartment it was, then she looked at the balcony and saw that Soulless was standing there smoking, then she tried to remember what happened yesterday, but the memories were snatches, then she looked at herself and realized that she wasn’t wearing any clothes. Then she buried her face in the blanket and began to speak: “Fool, fool, fool. - Do you criticize yourself in the morning? Soulless said. -Shut up. -… -Was? -… -Got it. That’s what you wanted. -Almost. -Almost? And what wasn’t part of your plan? That I will drink less? -… - First he saved, then tortured, then used. Nasty. -… - Can’t you even say something? - Food on the table. -What? That is, you decided to play a good game? -… - Where are my clothes? - On a chair. Sakura turned her head. “It’s not my thing. - If you want your own, go in the wet. “Did you even wash your clothes?” Did you get a bullet in the head or something? It can’t be that I do something for someone. Or wait… Are you bored as usual and trying to have so much fun? And all it was was your way of brightening up your dull life? “I see you’ve become brave. It means that the head does not hurt therefore, things, the door. -Leave. If you leave the balcony for another room, so that you don’t see me. -Hmm. “It doesn’t matter what you saw yesterday. So you’re going to leave? -… -I see. Where’s the bathtub? - Straight ahead, to the left. Sakura got up, covered herself with a blanket, grabbed her clothes, and went to the bathroom. Standing in the bathtub, Sakura pondered. - “yes, what’s wrong with him? He kills and immediately pretends to be good. And the most important reason why I agreed in the first place, he offered to leave.” “Bitch!” “He’s not just doing it. But why? Does he just want to, or is there a more important reason?” Sakura washed her face, but continued to stand in the bathroom. - “What’s wrong with me? He hasn’t done anything to me yet, except…” Sakura returned to the room. Soulless was already sitting on the bed with his head down, thinking about something. Sakura sat down beside her. -Listen… In general… I didn’t want to… Simply… It’s just that I’ve never seen you like this. Usually you kill and hurt, but here… Forgive me. -… - Say something. -Kitchen. Sakura made a blank face. But I decided to check, so I went to the kitchen. “Interesting,” thought the soulless. Sakura walked into the kitchen and saw that there was food on the table. - “Poisoned? Although…” Sakura sat down at the table and began to taste the food. - “Delicious.” - “The meaning of life…” — He sat and thought soullessly. Sakura returned to the room. -Thank you. -… - May I ask a question? -… - What are you going to do next? Soulless raised his head, looked at Sakura, took a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and lit it. “I’ll take care of the last case.” -As usual. Soulless got out of bed and headed for the door. “Wait where are you going?” - Close the door, throw the key in the mailbox. Soulless said and left the apartment. “Nat, did you find it?” -No. It just evaporated. “him.” - Of course, I don’t want to say anything, but maybe he has already been killed? -Who? - “White” or these new ones. - That those who don’t have enough strength. The “Whites” were well battered yesterday, and the new ones will be frightened. -I don’t think so. They’re too aggressive. Nat brought up the latest news. Rose began to read them. -What? Are they not friends with the head at all? -Aha. They said that they were in charge here and would do whatever they wanted, and they also painted their own sign throughout the city. -The police? - Investigating. -Racer! Soulless shouted. “If—” Rose was interrupted by Soulless’s cry. Rose went to the Soulless. -… Fastest and most armored. -Ok. Racer said and walked away. Rose bowed and said: -Hello. - Is the report ready? -Yes. -Let’s go. Rose and Soulless entered the office. Soulless sat down in his seat. There was a report on the table. Soulless began to look at him. -Got it. - Can you resolve the question? -Yes. - What happened to you? We’ve searched you. “Rose, you’re in charge for a while. Rose was taken aback. - Excuse me? And you? - Do it and call Nat. Rose bowed and said: - H-Okay. Nat walked into the office. He bowed. “Nat, it’s only going to be between us. -I got it. - Prepare the “Black” code for execution. You activate it when the command comes and you need to turn off all the lights here for thirty seconds, also on command. -Chm. Okay, but can you find out what happened? -No. -I got it. “You’re good to go.” Nat bowed and left the office, and Soulless got up from his desk, walked over to the safe, opened it, and took out a large black bag. -Racer! Rose shouted. -Yes? “What did he tell you?” The rider bowed and said: - I’m sorry, I can’t say. “It’s an order!” “I’m sorry, but I really can’t. -Got it. Why does he need a car? - I can’t say. -Free. -Forgive me. Racer said, and went about his business. Racer came into the office, bowed and said: - You’re good to go. “You’re good to go.” The rider bowed and left the office. - “Well.” -Nat. -Listen? -Closed? - Yes, only us. -Turn off. “I don’t know what you’re up to, but don’t die, and good luck to you.” After these words, the lights went out. -Nat! Rose shouted. -Work! Thirty seconds later, the light reappeared and everyone began to look around. Rose went into Soulless’s office, but it was empty. “Nat, you!” - Not to me! “What’s wrong with the light!?” -Know! And why are there claims against me? This is to Proton. - You’ve turned on the light, so there’s something wrong with the system! “That’s what I’m trying to find out!” Night fell on the city, and the Soulless One stood on the roofs of one of the tall buildings of the city. The lights of the city at night were burning, and a cigarette was smoking in his hands. -Where is he!? - I’m looking! It’s nowhere to be found. I’m not a magician to know everything. “Why did he call you?” - Ask about the “whites”. “And what?” - How I was in their system and what I saw there. “Is that all?” -Yes. -Nat. If you’re lying, then believe me, I’ll send you to a place where they don’t come back, — Attention, general collection! Rose shouted after her. And when everyone was gathered in the office, Rose began to speak. “From now on, I’m in charge of everything!” “Did something happen?” Mars said -Find. - Can you be more precise? Falcon said. “You’ll shoot more accurately, and you’ll find out the rest later.” -Tc. -Ok. What orders will there be? Forester (Hunter group) asked. - We are doing everything as usual. - What is on our agenda? Monocle asked. - To understand what kind of newcomers appeared who killed the “whites”. -Can? Nat said. -Yes. “They’re not alone. There are “red” and “purple”. - Some kind of masquerade. The Eye objected. “Think about how easy it is to see these assholes against a dark background. Sight said, nudging Eyes into his shoulder. -Ha. Well, here, yes. - So, Hunter Group, what happened to the fugitive? Rose said - They didn’t find it. The whole area was searched. The forester replied - Excuse me, can I? — said the operator. -Yes. - I’ve watched the news here and they say that these “reds” have been completely beaten back. Some write that they kill their own people in packs… — Without finishing the Operator, the Mouse interrupted (Charlie Group) “And that’s what you think they’re beating off?” Look at us and at him… -Shut up! Rose shouted. “I mean, maybe they’re trying to get a bad reputation and then dump everything on us?” - Or maybe they’re just looking for the same cargo. Tango said. “That’s what we’re going to have to find out. Therefore, we work as usual. Rose said. Soulless almost made it home. It was late at night, so the road was empty. - Hear, Kol. -M? - Do you see the car? -Aha. - I think it’s ours. -Moron? Where did she come from? - Black, without license plates, drives at high speed, and we drive such cars. “Well, who could it be?” “Maybe he?” -He? Maple, you’d go and rest. He wouldn’t have come unannounced, and even if he had wanted to, we would have known. -See. The main thing is not to end up in the grave. - We won’t. - Are we going to pass it on? -Come on. - Minor, there’s a car coming, look. -Saw. She turned west from our square. - Did you pass on Sil and Mil? -No. An ordinary vagrant, most likely. -Okay. “Player, do you hear?” -Aha. - Look at the car on the left. -Okay. Where was she? - In the Minor square and went to the west. -See. - “It’s been a while since I’ve been here.” Soulless thought. After a while, the Soulless One reached the place. Leaving the car not far away, he took his bag and walked. The base was located in the house, the whole house was converted into an equipped base, only the doors remained of the apartments. And only on the top floor was there an apartment that was untouched. Soulless entered the entrance, there were guards on each floor, but they did not pay attention to the Soulless. As the soulless man rose, he heard a conversation: “And in short, I strangled that thing. -Hmm. You’re a monster. -I? Be afraid, that’s our monster in command, am I? “Is she?” - No, he doesn’t. “Ahhhhh You’re brave, maybe he’ll hear us. “No, he’s not here, so don’t piss.” Soulless walked by, but the guards were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn’t pay attention. “Hey, what’s that guy?” -And? Fuck him. Everything looks like us, so everything is normal, and even more so, the fourth floor is definitely ours. Upon reaching the fifth floor, Soulless opened the door to his apartment and entered. I’ll throw the bag off my shoulder and throw it into the room. - “Welcome to home.” Soulless went into the kitchen, it was extremely small, but everything fit on it, even there was a sterile machine, because the only second large room was the hall. He poured water into the kettle and took out his phone. - “I wonder if it’s warm in Rome now?” “Will you have tea?” -Come on. - Didn’t Vlad call you? -No. He said he’s all about studying, so I don’t call so as not to distract me. - Well, let him study. Where will we go for the weekend? - A large selection? - Paris, England, Finland. - I don’t want to go to England where it’s cloudy. - You’ve been saying that for two months now. The man grunted in displeasure. - Okay, London, London. - Do we have enough money, by the way? I’ve just thought about it. - Vlad translated for me yesterday. -A lot? - A little more than usual. - By how much? - About half a million. “I’m wondering where he got so much money.” - Listen, I’m asking myself this question, but he says that he went into business. “Which one didn’t he tell you?” -No. - A little dunce! - He’s been around for years, let him decide for himself. - That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s just that he has some secrets from us. - Not out of adolescence. “It’s when you hide cigarettes from your parents, and you don’t give them hundreds of thousands and don’t tell them where they come from. - Calm down, we’ve been living like this for two years, probably, and everything is fine. He’s alive, we’re alive. - All right, all right. Let’s eat. -At last. The kettle finally boiled. Soulless took a mug from the cabinet above the sink, washed it, poured himself a cup of coffee and lit a cigarette. After finishing his drink and smoking, he left the apartment and entered the apartment opposite. - Why no knocking? — said the girl sitting at the table. In response, approaching footsteps were heard. The girl looked up and saw a silhouette approaching. “Who’s that?” - Are you buzzing all the time? Soulless said and took off his hood and mask. The girl looked at the Soulless One and her pen fell from shock. She slowly got up from the table and walked with staggering legs to the Soulless One. She tried to bow, but she couldn’t. “S-I’m sorry, h-h-h-that I didn’t know.” Then the Soulless One put his hand on the girl’s head and moved it slightly. The girl was in shock and could not say a word. -Drink? Soulless asked. “Y-to-sure. The girl took a bottle of Whiskey and two glasses out of the cupboard. Putting them on the table. The girl went to the small refrigerator and took out the ice, and finally everything was ready. The Girl and Soulless sat opposite each other. -Well… So… By what fate? -War. -War? “The local whites have relinquished command, appointed their own man, and want to kill us. -Forgive me. -… “You see, they’ve been acting strangely for a long time. Like dogs, they yapped from their territories, but did not go for a direct confrontation. There are no losses on the human side, nor on the technical side. -Negotiation? -Refusal. -Got it. - When do they want to attack? - I don’t know. “I believe you, but it’s simple, are you sure?” “Even if we don’t, we’ll still take their territories. - And their tower? -Carte blanche. - Did you get permission? -Yes. “I can’t believe it, you’ve always walked over people’s heads, and here you have permission. -Formality. - Do they have a tower, Sakura? -Yes. - And what about their weapons? - Complete set. The fighter is missing. “Okay, we’re not with sticks either.” - I’d like your optimism, Bee. - Well, you know, when you are born for the second time, you look at the world in a different way. - And who is on the fourth? “ABC and Shin, what?” - I think we’re monsters. I want to say that this is not the case. The bee sighed and said: “Just don’t kill those idiots. The bee picked up the walkie-talkie and said: “ABC, Shin to me. Soulless lit a cigarette. -Can? Bee said. Soulless nodded. At that moment, ABC and Shin entered the office. “Did something happen?” Shin said. - For now, it’s just you. Bee answered. “What do you mean?” ABC asked. - I’ve read a book about monsters here, what do you say? You know what it is. “W-w-you’ve heard everything. Azbuka managed to squeeze it out. - Forgive us, we won’t be anymore! Just don’t tell him! You are welcome! Shin shouted in a panic. - To whom is “he”? Bee asked. - We are afraid to pronounce it. -Afraid? Hmm. The bee made a surprised face, “Can you imagine they’re afraid of you?” Bee added, shifting her gaze to the Soulless. Soulless got up from his chair and slowly walked over to ABC and Shin. “Uh-huh!?” We didn’t want anything! Don’t kill us! Upon reaching the ABC and Shin, Soulless struck the code at the same time. They began to suffocate. Soulless opened the door and kicked first ABC, then Shin, causing them to be sent to the landing. Soulless closed the door on them and put them back behind the chair. -Sorry about that. Bee said. -Pour. -Ok. - Prepare people. Tomorrow at the same time, we will attack. -I got it.
