"Haha...."
The man laughed out loud. "The old woman is my daughter? That's right!" she doesn't believe it!
"You just look older than you should. So it's possible to—"
"What did you say?" cut Ivan.
"I remember her friends were young. Although the girl is their superior, but it seems unlikely that your brother-in-law has a nephew older than him! So—"
"So he's probably in disguise!" cut Ivan again.
"The girl who was being treated next door, what made her look after here?" ask Ivan.
"Many bad things happened. Far from the fairy of humanity!" doctor Dorjan said, without explaining details.
"A man she was carrying was also in a bad condition. My colleague said that the girl also dragged another person into the toilet.
After Ammo's arrival, I questioned all the staff, about what happened, and their behavior to any patient.
Then the cleaning department said that, the cleaning equipment was borrowed by the old woman. And he heard a shrill scream from there. But after they came out, there was no suspicious trace there. So they don't bother.
"What is their job, until some people get ill-treated?" muttered Ivan while thinking.
"Your past work, too, is bad. Could have—"
"No! Don't tell me he's a secret agent!" Ivan again cut off Doctor Dorjan's speech.
Doctor Dorjan sighed. "I just want to say. Your actions are hiding from them, not true. What if he jumped into that line of work, because it followed in your footsteps?"
Doctor Dorjan's explanation left his guests dumbfounded. "Is that true?" thought.
"You'll only find the answer, if you meet them!" concluded Doctor Dorjan.
The old man was silent for a moment. "Can you call Alexei and tell him I'm willing to see him tomorrow! Ivan.
"good. I'll tell you soon!" Doctor Dorjan took the phone out of his pocket. He sent a message to Alexei just like Ivan asked.
"I told you!" abugn. Ivan nodded.

In the cafeteria, Ana and Alexei were still continuing the conversation after their dinner.
"So the information about Nick was from Alena?" ask Alexei. Ana nodded.
"That's the most annoying, because these three days I've been soft on her. He really forced me to behave!" ana said grumpily.
"What did you do to him?" alexei asked suspiciously.
"Nothing! I haven't cared about it since morning! Let him know the taste!" furious Ana.
Next to Alexei's eyebrows rose to hear Ana's speech. "Not cared about since morning? Then don't you feed dong?" Alexei.
"Yups .. let him starve again. Let's realize!" sahut Ana cold.
Alexei shook his head in disbelief. "Why do you bother taking care of it? If he won't open his mouth, he's useless! It's finished!"
Ana mangosteen heard it. "If he doesn't change, too, I'll take care of it!" promise Ana.
Alexei's phone is shaking. Read the incoming message. Then show the message to Ana. "He's ready to meet, tomorrow!"
"Dad?" whispered Ana.
"Well .. I have to leave you again tomorrow. Do you want me to buy you something?" ask Alexei again.
"no need. I'm coming tomorrow. I have to see him!" break Ana.
"But—"
"It might not be his fault. So don't get emotional first. You can't accuse anyone, without investigation and evidence, first!" Alexei warned Ana firmly.
The girl was silent for a moment. But in his eyes was a flame of anger. "I wouldn't let my mother die without explanation. I still remember his firm grip on the edge of his age. Her sad eyes continued to look at me, even after mom didn't breathe!"
Ana's voice choked. The dam in his eyes was almost broken. Alexei clasped his shoulders into his arms. And the crying finally broke.
"I miss my mom, Uncle," she sobbed. "I've always dreamed of it, as if a request that I seek justice for him...."
Alexei rubbed his eyes. How not sad? The person Ana told him about was her own biological sister.
From another corner of the canteen, the chef, captain and coach looked at the scene with big questions.
"What do hugs and cries mean? I thought eventually Major would find her happiness with that woman" whispered the coach.
"That means, they're not what you think they are!" cook with a low voice.
"The woman has a problem. That's why he's here now. The Major is protecting him. So, maybe they're discussing the matter!" timpal captain.
"really? What problems? Do you know?" insist on the chef and coach.
Captain shakes. "Don't know. I didn't ask for details. If you're so curious, just ask yourself!" captain says.
"Hah .. okay. It's time to close. You guys just go, there!" expel chef.
"Major is still here, really," the coach argued.
"He owns this place. He's paying our salaries! Go there! I'm gonna take care of it, then get some rest!"
The chef pushed the captain and coach out of the canteen. Then he picked up all the dirty dishes and took them into the kitchen.

At six in the morning.
Ana and Alexei are ready. "You don't want to see your captives first?' ask Alexei.
Ana shakes. "No need!" said ketus. Then get out of the house and get in the car.
"I'll lock the basement first, so he can't go anywhere!' Alexei went downstairs and was surprised to see his collection of weapons all gone. I went straight to the car and asked.
"Did you move my gun collection?" inquiringly.
"Yes!" ana Nodding. I don't want him trying to get out, then find so many guns in front of his eyes!" answered Ana honestly.
Alexei was relieved. "You're simpsn on msna?" ask again.
"By my bedside, in the attic!" sahut Ana's.
"God...." Alexei shook his head while returning to the house.
The attic where Ana slept. In a hidden corner, all his weapons were hidden. Alexei came down and headed straight for the basement. He pressed a hidden button, which was commonly used to hang weapons.
After a minute, the button was set again. Then the door of the secret room was locked with two layers of walls made of steel.
Alexei went back upstairs and locked the basement from above. Once all was done, then he was ready to leave without feeling anxious.
"Let's go!" he said while starting the car. This trip is far enough. They have to cross the city.
"Uncle, why didn't you get married?" ask Ana prank.
"There's no time for that. I've been looking for you for years. I can't think of anything else. And no woman would be willing if I shared my thoughts for my family!" alexei answered honestly.
"I guess, grandma and grandpa would have wished Uncle had a family of his own, instead of spending the ages looking for a niece you've never met!" regrettable.
"Don't worry too much. You should share your burden with me. Not the other way!" Alexei chuckles amusedly.
