CHAPTER 70
SUDDENLY, the boat stopped and a speedboat pulls up next to them.
— Aren't you going with us? — Igor asked.
— You don't need three Zoas to push a button.
— And why don't you press it from here?
Selene smiled.
— It's because it was built to activate when it was in the field of the Wi-Fi installed on Tower Bridge.
— Take Yuliya with you, then.
— I prefer to go swimming on my own.
Selene's sarcastic laugh said it all.
— See, Father, not everything is as we would like it to be, enjoy the boat ride.
Igor's face was red with rage.
— Don't be angry, Father, this will all be over soon, we're almost halfway through the nine nights, but for some, that will be the end of the road.
The boat's pilot set off and slowly they faded from sight into the night across the dark Thames.
IGOR LOOKED AT YULIYA who was silent for a long time.
— Aren't you going to say anything?
— Is there anything that needs to be said?
They then heard the noise of a helicopter.
— Stop this boat immediately — said the aircraft officer.
— We have to do what he's told.
Igor ran to where the steering wheel and control panel of the boat were and something was wrong.
— Did something happen?
He nodded.
— I think it was programmed to stop for nothing, and if we try to stop the engine it will explode.
— And what shall we do?
— Can you swim?
She denied with her head.
— Perfect, two nerds who know almost everything in this life, except to beat their legs and arms in the water.
— This is the last warning before we shoot this ship down.
— There's only one thing we can do.
He pulled two leather upholstery from the seats and hoped that they would float for their lives, he shook the cushions drawing the attention of the helicopter, hugged Yuliya and said:
— Is ready?
She shook her head and they jumped into the icy water of the Thames.
