lonely drifting asteroid, a fragment of a once destroyed planet, affected by the excessive force that fell on it, began to emit a signal for help in all possible ranges, in the hope that someone will hear him.
Another week passed, the elf went out on "assignments" every two days, and after them he brought pieces of paper with cryptic messages announcing the coordinates of the "parcels". Louis, having collected enough, decided that he himself would not be able to conduct further investigation, after which he contacted the captain of Fenom, however, after thinking a little more, he changed his mind.
“Our supplier can be anyone, and the dignitaries are the most suspicious. - after which I took out one of my old contacts and decided to write the following email:
Nayto
"Agent Creed? This is Luis from XAZ medicinals, we once crossed paths when you urgently needed the nearest available supplier of a large batch of antibiotics, after the humanitarian disaster on the planet Dara U-198. About 2 years ago, if I'm not mistaken. I didn't want to. would distract you, but I have strictly confidential information that requires further investigation. Please do not tell anyone about what I am about to tell you, because all the major figures of this spacecraft are under suspicion, which is why I had to personally contact you. I can tell you the details in this letter, therefore I ask you to meet at 27 Dearga Eshakor Street, there my cab will be waiting for you with me and my ward, who, in fact, came across this information.
With friendly wishes,
Luis Santiago,
CEO of
XAZ Medicinals

A new message alert woke the agent as if on command. Now he slept in his room, before that all day wandering through the criminal and abandoned areas of Fenom in order to catch a member of the gang that robbed a bank on the outskirts of Fenom City the other day. Nothing. It was as if the trail was gone from him, although the orientations pointed precisely to the indicated areas. After reading the message, he hastily jumped out of bed, changed his clothes and went to the indicated address. I took the plasma pulse with me. He was unintentional to hide.
Nayto
A Terran Bantley luxury gravikar was waiting on the spot. The driver, seeing the approach of a low alien figure, opened the back door at the touch of a button. On the forward-facing seats were two figures, a decently clad terran, and a terran mage outfit with pointed ears. The seat turned back so that the interlocutors could talk face to face was empty. There was a champagne fridge on one of the doors. Luis Santiago stepped out of the gravikar, introduced himself, bowed gallantly and held out his hand to the three-eyed.
- Please join me, my assistant will give you the details. - after which he snapped his hand towards the open door of the gravikar.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
Naito, though not very much trusting them, sat down in the gravikar in an empty seat.
- I received a message that there is strictly confidential information for me. Let's leave the conversations for later and get to the point ... - the three-eyed decided not to hesitate. Champagne did not interest him, and he himself was now not in the best mood to take alcohol or even talk on free topics.
Nayto
- So be it. My heart hurts a little when an old acquaintance is suspicious. Louis chuckled. - But there's nothing to be done, Aubrey, tell me ... - After which Aubrey laid out all the details of what happened over the past 2 weeks on the broken intergalactic: the notes, where the drugs will be, are cryptic in nature, often written in the form of letters to one of the members of the circus; the recent batch was disguised as a gift for Aubrey from her grandmother (although Aubrey has no living relatives), which had to be picked up from one of the famous candy stores. Then she showed me a couple of sweets. The candies themselves were not drugs, only packaging, candy wrappers and so on. Louis also showed clothes that were made from fibers of a synthetic drug, which, when dissolved in ordinary hydrogen peroxide, then it is left to crystallize overnight and ground back into powder. Aubrey showed all the notes with coordinates and Louis told about the curious property of the paper, as well as the fact that most of the drug collection points were in crowded places, often in official store chains, but that, most likely, the store management does not know what it is. drugs, so the question is how these messages manage to deceive the trained staff of such networks as H&M, Beloved Galactic Confisserie, GameStation and so on ...
- I went to this network when I tracked the patients of my pharmacies refusing to buy official painkillers, so I went to several circus workers who arrived at Fenom, but I could not find out anything further, otherwise I would have scared them off without going to the one who runs the shop. Selling drugs hurts the pharmaceutical business, so please sort this out as soon as possible. In addition, my laboratory tests showed that this drug, not only cheap, but has a whole cloud of unwanted consequences, up to a weakening of the immune system and organ failure. As you can see from my situation, I could not contact anyone on the Phenome, other than the person who arrived here after the circus appeared, which I am you, Agent Creed. Plus, knowing what I am facing, I do not want to continue the investigation, otherwise the one who patronizes all of this,
- If your feet are cold, Louis (Aubrey tried to translate the phraseological unit of her language, meaning "to be scared"), then I am generally a dead man, if they find a catch, I do not spend every day in the circus and steal information that I do not even read can! Aubrey started to get hysterical, Louis swung and slapped her in the face, and she fell silent.
- Excuse me, Credo, my ward is a little cowardly, but because of his inconspicuousness and external weakness, he managed to get into their confidence, I can't think of someone more suitable to work there undercover. Aubrey! Give all the evidence to Agent Creed so that he himself can review this miracle paper and cryptic messages ...
Ferris the Drabby Jester
- Can I take your charge under my guidance? Naito asked almost immediately. - She has already got into trust, so let her finish the job, only, already, under my leadership.
Nayto
Luis nudged Aubrey in the side with his elbow and spoke in French:
“Even he was able to guess your true gender, your act is unconvincing. - to which Aubrey blushed.
Then he answered the three-eyed:
- Yes, that was my plan, I want to give this matter to a professional, I am still afraid that this someone who is behind this may finish me off in such a way that it will look like suicide. Plus, I am always happy to work with Trehglazikami, as when I agreed to supply a large shipment of antibiotics to cope with the outbreak of the Dara pandemic. However, I have already mentioned this in the letter and do not want to repeat myself .... Aubrey! - Louis handed the communicator into the hands of Aubrey, - Now you will not have to look for me or Agent Creed, if there is information, the classic ways of walking and questioning all my secretaries. I think it will be easier for all of us. Keep the agent informed, I will be developing drugs to suppress the side effects of this drug when all this comes to an end,
Ferris the Drabby Jester
- Are We Free? - Creed hastened, asking Louis completely without emotion. He was quite exhausted today, he wanted to finally start moving or have a normal rest. “We’ll tell you how we’ll catch it,†he said.
Nayto
- Yes, Agent, you are free. I see you are exhausted, how about I drop you where you are staying? Louis asked politely and knocked on the window in the wall between the passengers and the driver. It went down and the driver was ready to listen to directions.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
- To the Red Dwarf Hotel, please, - the three-eyed smiled politely and nodded his head in greeting. - It's not far here.
Nayto The
driver nodded, the window closed and the gravikar turned in the direction of the Red Dwarf.
- Aubrey, I'll throw you out under the road on one of the central shopping streets, will you find your way back to the circus? - Said Louis, to which Aubrey silently nodded her head, took out her wallet and began to count the remaining sporelings. I put aside 3 sporlings for a hot dog, 2 more for coffee, returned the rest to my wallet and put it in the inner pocket of my blue cloak-uniform, along with the communicator, put on the hood of the cloak, plugging it up, and thereby hiding her elf ears, and buried her face the corner opposite from the interlocutors, like a turtle hiding in a shell.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
- Does Aubrey have a hotel room or is she spending the night in the circus? - asked the three-eyed, considering the future partner.
Nayto
- As far as I know, in the circus - said Louis. “I recommended a good hotel, but Aubrey seemed to ignore it. - To which Aubrey initially wanted to say something, but in a moment corrected her actions and buried herself back in the corner.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
"Aubrey," he suddenly said to her. - Do you want to eat? Go to a cafe, then if you don't have circus duties, go to the Drunken Groks bar. The place is quite crowded, it will be easier to get lost in the crowd. And then we'll go over a couple of details about the case with you. Don't go to the hotel, you can reveal yourself, - he immediately began to lead. “Don't look for me in the bar. I'll find you myself. Oh, it is advisable for you to make an appointment. Although I’m free all day, I want to do something more useful than chilling out in the bar, and I’m holding the evidence in my hands, it’s worth studying too.
Nayto
- I can't today, I need to feed Wroggi, I forgot to conquer him in the morning - said Aubrey, - Tomorrow in the morning I will feed all the animals, and in the evening I will go to the bar. Perhaps this is at 19 o'clock. Plus today we need to feed Zinogre well, because today we are speaking to tame the animals, if I underfeed Zinogre, someone may die. A large dangerous animal, it can create electricity, but if fed, it will be obedient, like a pet dog. You will just have time to deal with the evidence until tomorrow.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
- So we agreed, - after that, Naito fell silent, waiting for the gravikar to reach its destination.
Nayto
Gravikar drove past a large shopping street filled with expensive shops, restaurants, hot dogs and shawarma carts, people collecting donations, merchants of all sorts of trinkets, from antiquarian to balloons. The street was wide and strictly pedestrianized. Gravikar stopped on the side of the adjoining street, Aubrey jumped out of it in a moment, and a minute later, only a hunched blue silhouette in a hood was visible in the crowd.
In 10 minutes the gravikar arrived at the parking area of ​​the "Red Dwarf". There Louis said goodbye to Naito and drove back to the office of his pharmaceutical corporation.
Ferris the Drabby Jester
"Bank robbery, now drug trafficking ..." - Naito quickly climbed to the 4th floor, where his room was 307. He went inside, locked it, closed the blinds. The room was one-room: in the corner there was a comfortable single bed, opposite it was the front door, to the left of it was a bedside table with a lamp on it. The window was further to the left. To the right along the corridor from the front door, there was a bathroom in the room, leaving the corridor to the right, one could observe a wardrobe and a work desk next to it. It was large, almost perfectly ordered. Soon, this order was violated by the hotel guest himself, who, having quickly rushed off for coffee in the dining room, began to study what was passed to him. One thing was clear: "The perpetrator is quite smart, it will be difficult to find him. Aubrey should work on, because the evidence found does not say much about who is in charge of sales. All that remains is to wait for the error and ... Hope for the best. If Aubrey gets exposed, we'll scare him away. "
Aubrey, fearing that someone might see them in the gravikar, took a bite. Nervously moved to the circus, fearfully fed the animals and began to observe the clown and everyone involved in drug trafficking to make sure if everything was in order or not. Then, not looking for anything special in their behavior, she lay down on her cheap mattress in the corner in the animal trailer, and tried to sleep, but could not. Having been nervous, she began to squelch, and then, having exhausted herself mentally, she fell asleep.
The next morning came. It began with Naito's breakfast with a piece of paper whose properties he found extremely curious. It wasn't until later that he ordered himself a scrambled eggs and bacon breakfast. Terran hotel - Terran dishes. The hotel itself positioned itself as a four-star hotel, but the service was five-star. Having delegated all powers to low-ranking agents, having promised a hundred sporlings to each, if everything was done before the case was closed, he hid everything in a bag and hid the bag in a closet. Then he went on the case of a bank robbery, which has not yet been solved: there were no names and faces of the leader of the gang and his fakes. Only one was known, but he escaped yesterday. At 19 pm he came to the bar. Invisible. He took himself a corner behind a flower, where no one would climb for sure, and began to wait.
