Fighting cat

Strategy – 4

* * *

The shot leg ached like a sore tooth in bad weather. Only now there is not a cloud in the sky - normal August weather.

Andrey took a sip of coffee and winced. He was sitting in a cafe for extreme sports enthusiasts and passing the time after yet another unsuccessful interview.

The most annoying thing is that the guy who shot him in the leg got away with it. Well, yes, Andrey beat one “black” cretin – either an Azer or a Dag – with a flail to the top of his head, and his friend in the balls. And in return, he received a bullet from a trauma injury in his shin. Moreover, he himself turned out to be at fault: he used an unregistered bladed weapon that was not assigned to a supermarket security guard.

And Kazakov always liked to work with flexible, high-speed weapons: a flail, nunchucks, a flail - it doesn’t matter. This is not your ordinary police baton! It was breathtaking how a clumsy, clumsy-looking weapon suddenly acquired strength and speed in his hands, easily bypassed any defense and quickly fell on the enemy’s head. With a barely noticeable turn of the hand, one could direct it to the jaw, crown or back of the enemy’s head. And the result will always be a crushing blow!

In general, Andrey was given two years probation for such an “initiative.” A recording of the fight was also posted on YouTube. Although, maybe, if it weren’t for this recording and the hype around it, Andrey would have been slapped with a real sentence. And so - one horseradish, with a criminal record, no one will hire you for a normal job anyway.

And now Andrei was sitting in his favorite cafe and waiting for who knows what.

It’s amazing how many people in his generally ordinary town liked to ride a bicycle over rough terrain, go rafting or climb the mountains, sweating profusely. Compared to the total population, it’s quite small, of course, but enough to provide constant revenue to the Otryv bar.

Senya Semechkin, a seasoned airsoft player, explained this by the fact that previously the town stood on the border and constantly fought off the attacks of all sorts of adversaries, and desperate grunts lived in it, ready to risk their heads for a handful of silver and their own will. And we, therefore, are their descendants who lack adrenaline. Whether this was true or not, Andrei didn’t know, but he had enough of his own problems, without adrenaline. For example, where can I get money?

The phone beeped: Arkasha, friend. It was he who helped Andrei get a job as a security guard, although he did not serve in the army, and sometimes gave him money hacks.

- Hello, Andryukha! – a joyful voice came from the phone.

- Hello. Tell me right away what you have?...

- There is a topic. You can earn a thousand euros in a week. All the equipment and other little things don’t count.

- And what needs to be done?

– Accompany a couple of good people somewhere.

- Didn't understand. Where should I accompany you? To Karelia, to the Urals? One euro per piece?

- No, everything is here, nearby. A trip for a week - and the thing is in your pocket. Well, three days before that to prepare.

-Where should I go?

- Damn, what am I explaining to you? Come to our park and we'll talk there. Or don't you need money?

- We need it, of course. I'll be there in an hour. Borya,” Kazakov called out to the bartender, “how much is it from me?”

- At the expense of the establishment, Andrey. Give it back when you can.

- Bor, well, damn it, really thank you. As soon as I get the money, I’ll give it back honestly. And they will.

- I heard. Good luck.

It’s not that Andrei Kazakov was a loser in life. By the age of twenty-five, he managed to graduate from the Institute of Physical Education, practice karate and acquire many useful skills in construction. He was interested in mountaineering and speleology. I was a little involved in fencing and historical reconstruction. I wasn’t averse to getting out of the city in good company with roleplayers or survivalists. He earned his bread and butter by doing hack work at construction sites, working as a sempai in a karate section, and sometimes being hired as an instructor on extreme hiking trips.

He didn’t sit on his mother’s neck, but it was impossible to say that he earned a lot. After graduating from university, he got a job at a small security company, from where he left after a fight in a supermarket. For several months now, Kazakov has been free like... ahem... the free wind.

Arkasha was waiting for Andrei, lounging on a bench. Once upon a time, an infinitely long time ago, it was in this park that they both ran around with ear pads and plastic swords, pretending to be elves. Where did those years go, where did those guys disappear?

Arkasha Sizentsev's appearance was the most slick, like a trash cat. And the content matched the appearance: he would never miss the benefits. However, to throw your own – this never happened. It was Arkasha who periodically gave Kazakov opportunities to earn money. Not without benefit for oneself, one must assume.

- Oh, hello, the YouTube star, he’s finally come. How long have you not seen each other?

- And you won’t get sick. By your grace, I almost became a chanson star.

- Well, bro, you screwed it up. It’s his own fault... Okay, they forgot,” Arkasha noticed that Andrei was not inclined to discuss the motives for his action. – As they say: whatever is done, everything is for the better. The recording of your fight was seen by very interesting and important people. And they wanted to take it with them on an exciting journey. Evaluate the breadth of the action.

– I’ve already assessed it – it’s a euro piece. Tell me the details, otherwise everything looks like a scam.

- You offend me, Andryukh. OK. They themselves don’t know where to go.

- That is?

– Well, look, the topic is this: there is an extreme tour, something between sports tourism and a role-playing game. The tour, by the way, is called the Big Game. Only three people can enter it. Your trio is delivered to the territory of this very Game. And there are already others there, well, too... role players. And among them, the three of you must hold out for eight days. All.

– Survive eight days among role players?

– There are also some adventures and tasks. I know one thing for sure – it won’t be boring. Well, do you agree?

– This is all strange... Okay, I agree, of course. A piece of euro just won't hurt me. At the same time, I’ll have a blast.

“Otherwise,” Arkasha grinned.

- Let's call your clients.

“And they should arrive in about twenty minutes.” “I knew that you would agree,” his friend’s dirty smile became even wider.

- You're a bug, Arkashka. So it’s a tough hunt to go.

- Nothing! I gave him such a job, but he was dissatisfied. If you don’t want it, I’ll give it to someone else.

- But now you’re definitely going to get screwed, Arkady.

- Come on, break your fingers on my jaw.

“That’s the only reason you’re still alive,” Kazakov noted, “I don’t want to break my legs on your kidneys.” When do you say the employers will arrive?

- In about fifteen minutes. They will call back.

Arkasha’s mobile phone rang ten minutes later. Friends were told to approach the exit of the park.

The customers—a guy and a girl—were standing in the parking lot next to a shiny Land Cruiser. When Arkasha waved his hand, future employers slowly moved towards him.

The guy looked like a typical major: a short-haired, pumped-up brunette in large black glasses, a pink shirt and dark gray trousers with arrows. Surely the cost of his outfit significantly exceeded Andrei’s estimated fee. Or maybe the glasses alone were more expensive.

A smiling girl walked with him on his arm. Ygritte is straight out of “Game of Thrones” – red-haired, slender, but with noticeable curves. She, too, was dressed to the nines, but she carried herself so spontaneously and easily that she looked a little out of place next to her faithful companion.

“Vlad,” the major introduced himself and extended his hand.

At this time, a smart phone clicked in his trousers, he deftly pulled it out with his left hand and quickly ran his fingers across the screen.

“Left-handed,” thought Andrey. - Well, I'm lucky again. They say that left-handers are extraordinary people. I wonder where his uniqueness will take me?”

“Lisa,” the redhead introduced herself with a smile and made a playful curtsy.

- Very nice.

– Well, now that everyone is assembled, let’s start negotiations. Or maybe we should go to a cafe? – suggested Arkasha.
