A man in his 40's left the docks and headed towards the local bar. He was heading slowly, nervously turning his head left and right. The alleys to his left were dark and seemed to be calm. The road ahead of him was clear, not even a single soul was wandering around. He decided to stick to the walls so hugging the outer walls of the buildings to his right seemed to be the right solution.
"...the calm before the storm. Da, it seems obvious."he whispered silently on his hoarse voice.
Even though he was prepared for the worst on a crowded planet like Canaria, Anatoliy reached the bar where he was told to go without any problems. In the door someone pushed him while running away but he didn't respond to that. The bartender was standing behind the open door shouting something after the running guy which obviously didn't care. When he saw Anatoliy in his military like clothes with a gun in his hands the bartender raised his eyebrows and told him with contempt that no one is allowed in with a gun.
Anatoliy hid the gun, entered the bar and several dark visages were examining him. Then after a few moments they've turned back to their table and continued they dubious businesses. Some strange music was playing in the bar and beside those odd looking dealers no one was around.
The bartender handled over a glass of some kind of strong drink as a compensations to the rude introduction he made earlier. Anatoliy drank it and was carefully following the actions happening behind his back. The bartender saw that Anatoliy was on alert and asked him about his business.
"So my friend, what are you doing here in that uniform of yours, are you after someone?"
Anatoliy turned back and was examining his glass. "I'm here to... you know... I'm looking for people called comra..."
He couldn't finnish the sentence as the bartender interrupted."Not one word more. I know what you are looking for and they are already looking for you as well. Just act normally my friend and you'll meet them."whispered quietly.
