saw the lines of this man and with them he had a vision of how this man was being kidnapped. He recovered quickly. – I need to establish the date and time of the abduction urgently.
– How?
– I need to see him. With these words, Amir left the apartment. He arrived at the building where the contract was signed and went up to the same office. It was not difficult for him to get into the office, since he was once Igor’s partner. He was warmly welcomed in the office, but Igor was not there.
– We cannot find him ourselves; he has not been in touch all day.
– I need to see him urgently.
– «Is something wrong?» Do you need it so urgently?
– Yes. It is a matter of life and death.
– Well, if so, then sit down, I will take you to him, I really need him too. Igor’s apartment was not so far from the office, and when they drove up, Igor got into his car and at the same moment, a passing car cut him off. He did not attach any importance to this, but Amir quickly flew out of the car and ran up to Igor.
– What happened?
– An attempt is being made on you; I need to see your lines urgently. Igor invited everyone to his house, but since they were not alone, Amir could not do anything and wanted to leave. Igor detained him, referring to a serious conversation, and made it clear that his new companion would leave. Left alone, Amir told Igor everything. – I need to know the exact time and date, and then we will prevent all this.
– «You’ve saved my life more than once. I am your eternal debtor.
– Don’t worry. We will see you repeatedly. I was on time today. I am sure that car was not an accident.
Igor plunged into thought, and after a long pause said: – I have one little man, I know what to do. If your set date and time do not let me down, then everything will turn out as well as possible. Amir left, leaving Igor alone, but he was not at ease. He was actually very worried about his friend’s life.
The set date and time were not so far from the actual dates. The abduction was supposed to take place in the entrance of his own house, late at night, when Igor had to return home from the restaurant where he liked to sit on Fridays. He had no family, he was lonely. Igor had a girlfriend with whom he liked to spend time, but never let her into his affairs. On Fridays, he liked to sit in a restaurant alone or with friends, this evening. As usual, he spent without his girlfriend. Everything was prepared, enemies for abduction, friends for protection and justice.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, Igor got out of his car and headed towards the entrance. He did everything mechanically and confidently, as always. Approaching the entrance, he opened the door with the key from the intercom. After a short period, two men came out of the entrance, and they both headed towards the car waiting for them. The police who arrived detained them.
– Just do not let him down. Igor spoke. Igor and Amir were sitting in the car opposite and watching what was happening. – It is good when there are acquaintances everywhere, Igor said with a sly smile. A familiar homeless man, a familiar cop.
– A familiar palmist! Amir said with a laugh. They exchanged glances with a smile as a sign of friendship, and a real friendship began between them.
This familiar homeless man disguised as Igor told the police how he was attacked with a gun, and he wanted to hide in the entrance. He had the keys to the intercom for a long time, someone lost them, and he went to bask in this entrance. The homeless man was released on the same day. And Igor’s former best friend was detained for questioning. A familiar cop interrogated him for a long time, and this friend turned in his companion and told him everything, as in confession. He said that he did everything with the instructions of one person. How he was able to take away part of Igor’s shares, and about many other frauds, including the kidnapping of a man, and an attempt to kill him. The two scammers were remanded in custody pending trial. Igor had nothing to fear anymore, and he felt free.
Spring was coming; Amir and his friend Lesha were dating girls. Amir was not in love, it was just an interest, and he tried to keep his distance in the relationship, despite all the pressure from the girl. His friend changed girls too often, and did not feel any inconvenience in this; on the contrary, it turned him on even more. Amir did not expect from himself that he would lead such a wild lifestyle in the future. Almost every weekend they spent in nightclubs, and on ordinary days, they spent in local cafes. He was going to fly to his homeland in Laos for the summer holidays. Amir completely stopped practicing palmistry, and did not even remember about it. His friend Igor did not make himself known.
– Tell me a fortune!
– I hope you are joking!
– No, I am serious. I wonder what awaits me in the near future, and in general, I wonder how you are guessing there. Well, guess!
– Well, sit down. Lyosha sat down in a chair and kicked off his sneakers.
– I see a knock!
– What.
– I see a girl pregnant with you; you will soon become a dad!
– All thanks; you do not have to continue.
– I was joking. Everything is fine with you. Do not worry. Pass the session, have a fun summer.
– Thanks, friend. You know how to cheer up. The phone rang. Amir answered and looked questioningly at Lyosha. – What happened?
– Igor invites us to a picnic.
– Say we agree.
– We agree.
The picnic took place outside the city. There were three of them, and they had fun. – Tell friends what you have been doing all this time.
– We pretend to study during the day, and have fun in the evening.
– So you are pretending!
– Amir does not need to study. He already knows everything. He is a genius. Amir smiled modestly and was silent.
– Yes, Amir is well done. I do not argue.
– And what actually happened?
– Actually nothing! I just remembered long-forgotten friends and decided to remind myself. It happens.
– It happens. I do not argue.
– If something ever happens to you, remember, you can always count on me. Igor carefully looked into Amir’s eyes. Amir mutually looked into Igor’s face and did not say a word. With these words, they hugged tightly and continued their gatherings. Amir flew to Laos for the summer holidays, and Lyosha stayed in Moscow.
CHAPTER 2
In Laos, Amir was waiting for the same life as before. Nothing has changed except for himself. The parents immediately noticed the change, but did not say anything. In the evening, at dinner, the father made a speech and praised his son, saying that the year of study had done him good. The mother did not say anything, she immediately noticed a change in him, and felt the danger that was coming, just like her son. After dinner, Amir and his father locked themselves in the study.
– Tell me, are you using your inherited gift for its intended purpose.
– Yes, Father, I use it. But I need to talk to you very seriously.
– What happened?
– It is okay so far. But, my gift, it’s much stronger than I expected.
– How does it manifest itself?
– When I see the lines of people, along with their fate, I also see the exact time and date of what is going to happen. I can predict it, and I am good at it. I have already put this into practice.
– «Is
