Rodion POV's

*look blankly at Maxim*
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
* standing in front of Rodion's desk with his arms crossed at his chest*
I am Wondering where he is getting his stupid ideas from all of a sudden
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
No
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Why not? It’s a perfect opportunity
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
She can say she just got lost or that she’s exploring the house
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Because one, she probably never saw a listening device in her life and wouldn’t know how or where to place it
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
And two, no one will believe that she just wandered into Leonid’s room or his office by accident
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
We don’t know who else is involved.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Could be someone from the staff or one of the security guys.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
I don’t want her tipping off Leonid or his partner sooner than intended
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
You are sure it was Leonid?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Very
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Let’s just bag him right away then.
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Get Mikhail to work on him. He’ll be singing like a bird by morning
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
And if it wasn’t him?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Do you have any idea how it would impact the morale and trust of my men if I tortured one of my own without proof, only to have him turn out innocent?
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Well, then we have reached a dead-end, Rodion
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
*takes off his glasses and sighs*
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
I’ve been listening to the recordings for months and didn’t find anything other than standard gossip
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Did you know that Kostya is sleeping with both Valentina and Olga?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
I don’t give a damn who is sleeping with whom.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Which rooms have you bugged so far?
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
The library, the lounge, dining room, both downstairs bathrooms, the basement, armory as well. Varya bugged the kitchen and the pantry for me. That’s it
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
The cars?
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
All except Leonid’s, Mikhail’s, and Sergei’s
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
You don’t have to bug Sergei’s car.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
If he had been the one who set up that bomb, I would have been dead.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Together with the whole damn block probably.
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
It’s not Mikhail either
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
*tap his finger on the desk, thinking*
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Have Valentina place a bug in Leonid’s room and the office
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Valentina?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Why not? She can be trusted
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
*shakes his head*
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Well, let me put it this way. Last night, Natalia was sitting on your lap, with her hair in disarray, barefoot, clutching her arm around your neck as you were groping her leg under her dress. Your shirt was unbuttoned, and you were kissing her like a man possessed
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
* raises his eyebrows at me*
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
The whole staff knew every single detail the moment Valentina rushed back to the kitchen, as well as her conclusion that you two are soul mates and will have beautiful babies soon.
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
She’s loyal, but her tongue is a mile long. There is no way she can keep her mouth shut even if her life depended on it
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Fuçking great
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
*take a deep breath and look at the ceiling*
Is there anyone in this household who is even remotely sane?
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
We should get Natalia to do it.
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
The staff or the men still haven’t met her, and if you instruct her to pose like a giggly, simple-minded idiot, no one will pay attention to what she’s doing
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
I would never marry a giggly simple-minded idiot, Maxim. Everyone knows that
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Of course, you would. You are a man possessed, remember?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
*close his eyes and shake my head in irritation*
One of these days, I’m going to strangle Valentina
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
That’s settled then
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
*straightens his jacket, puts his glasses on, and turns to leave*
Maxim/Second in Command
Maxim/Second in Command
Let me know when you want me to come and explain the procedure to Natalia
....
When I get back to my suite in the east wing, I don’t see Natalia anywhere–not in the kitchen or the living room–so I head to her room, which I find empty as well.
For a moment I think she changed her mind and somehow got away.
I turn my wheelchair, planning on raising the alarm, when I notice her, and the pressure I didn’t realize was gripping my chest vanishes.
...
