"Plato, today we have a little detour," said Sergey. "What? why? lets just do our job," said Plato. "Come on Plato, not that far away," said Sergey. "What? What are you planning to do anyway?" asked Plato. "Nothing. Just meeting a friend," said Sergey. "Just do not get us into trouble man, said Plato. "What trouble?" Have I ever got you into trouble?" asked Sergey. "Just last week," replied Plato. Sergey laughed ,"well I just do not remember." The truck went off route to Downtown. "Sergey is this place not that dangerous man," asked Plato. "No, not at all. If you know the right people, said Sergey with a grin on his face. Plato sighed. "You are the boss," he said. The truck went near a broken down factory with shutters half open. Sergey honked, there was no response So he repeatedly honked. Finally someone opened the shutters. It was a women in her early thirties. "Andrea," said Sergey in a loud tone. "Sergey," Andrea welcomed him. Sergey turned over to Plato. "How do you like my bird?" asked Sergey. "That's your girl? No way!" Laughed Plato. Sergey's face turned serious. "Sergey," said Andrea. "You got the package?" she asked him. "I got the package," replied Sergey. "Antony," shouted Andrea. "Get the scanner," she instructed. "Open the truck Sergey,"'she said and all the three of them put their masks on. Antony came rushing in with the scanner without a mask on his face. "Put your mask on," Andrea said to him again. "The biggest fool in Minsk," quoted Sergey. Antony put his mask on. She and Andrea went to the back of the truck with the scanner. The scanning went for a while. The only thing Sergey and Plato could hear now is the noises made by the scanner. After a very long time, the two of them came out with a bag. Antony took the bag and went inside the building. As Sergey shut the back of the truck. The three of them removed the mask and gasped. Andrea took out something from the pockets and tossed it over to Sergey. "Next week, this time again," she asked him. "That's fine by me,"'replied Sergey. Andrea took leave from the both of them. Sergey started the truck. "A fine women," he said to Plato. "You did Realize she had a gun on her," she asked Plato. "Of course, I knew," replied Sergio. "But was the gun loaded? I do not think so," said Sergey as he started to speed again. "Anyway, what was all that? How do you know her?" asked Plato. "Just some connections kid," replied Sergey. "Just some connections!" "If Mr. Peter comes to know of this, we could be terminated form our job," warned Plato. "Plato, listen here man. The thing is anyway going to be. Shit. I do not know. God knows what they do with this. I Just know, that this thing is useless to anyone and everyone. So what we if we just drop a bit on the way, its the same!" said Sergey. "Clearly not useless, to everybody," said Plato hinting at Andrea. "That Plato is beyond me too," Replied Sergey. "What if they are creating something harmful with this. I just do not trust them," said Plato. "I do that's enough for now man," Said Sergey who was clearly getting frustrated. "Listen to me here, kid," said Plato. "Not all of us have diamonds growing in the gardens. That we can happily pick when we want." "Some of us have to snatch the diamonds form the gardens of other people. When they are fast asleep," said Sergey. "I do not understand," said Plato. "You will soon," replied Sergey. Now lets go and dump this in the yard. Back at the plant "Plato you are required to meet the Mr. Peter," said the lady at the front desk. A perplexed Plato stood in complete silence which prompted Mrs. Kristina to ask him. "Plato, you alright?" she asked him. The question made Plato to come out of his daze and answer her. "Is it only me, Mrs. Kristina? Is Sergey needed to be there also?" asked Plato. The sudden confusion existed within Plato because of what had happened in the morning. "Only you Plato, Sergey is not required. And Plato if you do not mind me asking. What makes you so anxious?" asked Mrs. Kristina. "Its nothing madam, I'm just a little tired from all the work I had done today, that is all," replied Plato. "Anyway Hurry up. Mr. Peter could leave anytime now," said Mrs. Kristina. Plato agreed to her point and quickly made his way up to the top floor where Mr. Peter's office was. Before knocking on the door to get permission to enter his office, Plato's mind got diverted again. Why is it that only I'm being questioned. Why not Sergey? After all he was the perpetrator. Maybe he will be questioned later on. Plato after staring at the door finally mustered the courage to knock on the door of Mr. Peter! Come in said an authoritative voice. Plato went in and reported himself. "Sir, you had asked for me?" said Plato. "Yes, please sit down" said Mr. Peter. Plato really could not make out with the tone of Mr. Peter whether if he was in some kind of trouble or not. "Plato," said Mr. Peter. "Do you know why I had called you to come up to my office?" asked Mr.Peter. "No Sir," Replied Plato. "I have some good news for you," said Peter. "Good news sir," replied Plato who was extremely relieved with how the conversation had gone. How could he have known about the incident that occurred in the morning today. Not possible at all. Plato convinced himself and got a lot more confident. "Yes," Good news. "Hope your driving skills are not that rusty," asked Peter. "Its quite alright sir, my capacity as a driver," replied Plato. "Am I going to be promoted to a driver?" asked Plato. "Indeed Son," answered Peter. You are a good lad and this is what we want to reward you with. But.. "Sir?" said Plato and sat up straight. "But you will be driving alternatively with Andrei. You both take turns. You understand?" asked Plato but it felt like more of an order. "Yes sir, I understand," replied Plato. "Sir if I may," said Plato. "And I assume ,you are wondering what would happen to Sergey?" asked Peter. "Yes Sir," replied Plato. "Well we thought we can put his skills to more use. You know what I mean," said Mr. Peter with a grin on his face. "He is a talented worker sir," agreed Plato with a poker face. "Anyway, he is being promoted to a traveler. He will be working predominantly outside the plant. You may hardly see him from now on," said Peter. Plato was happy about the news of Sergey's promotion. After all Sergey though not the best of men, taught Plato all he has to know about the job. He is a valuable asset. He is a hard man and that is why we tolerate him with all his nonsense," said Mr. Peter. "Hope you only picked up his good habits," said Peter as he leaned on the desk. Plato nodded. "Good, I will tell this news to Sergey myself. Off you go now," said Peter. Plato took leave and headed home directly from the office.
