I consider. – she claimed. – I trust in it. – here she made a pause, is heavy sighed. On her heart it was heavy. It seemed that on her heart huge freight lies. She quietly added. – I know people who do not understand it. Consider that their homeland where they is at present. Where went to bed, there and the homeland.
– Unless it not so?
– No. – Natalia answered. Of course not. And how there can be it differently? The homeland is a home ground, that where the person was born. Where he lived and lives with the birth. Where was born and where grew. And it is unimportant from where his parents what they are nationalities. The person defines the homeland. But it remains invariable. It is unimportant that the person demigrirovat, or emigrated. This it is unimportant. The homeland this that earth within which you were born and which is protected from an impact of the internal and external enemy. Here that the homeland means. – she made a pause, then added, then told. – In my opinion I intelligibly explained a concept the word "HOMELAND".
– Yes! I was not mistaken in you. – Anabel answered. – You are not devoted to the business. Yes! – Anabel agreed. – I as the woman understand you. Not the lung is a business, investigation. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice himself for the sake of what that? Self-renunciation, here main precept of the intelligence agent, and his damnation.
– It so. – Natalia agreed. – This damnation. To be always alone. – here she is cruel grinned and on her face the sneer grimace over by itself appeared. – Damnation! Devil of its pobera! – on her face bitter tears seemed. – You truly told, a damnation.
Here Natalia immediately steamed.
– Do not cry. – as could it calmed Anabel. – That did not occur at you in life, you change nothing any more.
– You are right. – Anabel wiping tears answered to a tear scarf. – That there was that was. "It is impossible to change anything" – here she unexpectedly asked. – And how Nina? how your sister?
Without having understood what the question consists in, Natalia asked.
– What do you mean?
Anabel quietly and excruciatingly painful for herself and for Natalia asked.
– Did you think what will be with it?
Natalia thought. To it it was unclear from where she knew about her sister? They never communicated with it? And were not familiar? From where then did Anabel know about Nina?
– Do you know about Nina? – Natalia was surprised. – From where? – she fixedly stared at Anabel studying a look, then having terrified took an interest. – From where you Oh, damn? From where you know it, my sister, Nina.
Anabel took an interest.
– It is important?
– We talk already whole hour – looking at the watch determined on a column in the Bologna wood, Natalia took an interest. – You as I see about me know much, I suspect that practically all.
– And?
– But I about you know nothing at all. – Natalia answered and asked. Tell about yourself. Who are you such?
The stranger grinned.
– Did you just understand that you know nothing about me? – Anabel smiled. – Well, I can tell something about myself. – she told with a smile on a face. – But whether you will believe me? – she looked around herself. – You look. – Showing to a hand on the road she in the dark told. – Do you consider all this really? You here on the road, somewhere in the wood, around anybody. On hours three o'clock in the afternoon. You here, with me. – then she asked. – Do you consider all this really?
Natalia did not know what to answer. It was in full confusion. Nothing not understanding woman, looked at other woman, and did not know what to answer? She understood that all that now occurs this some madness. The madness happening to it now, at present. Who was this woman? Natalia did not know it. She understood now that she told it practically everything that she thinks how the military person about the homeland, the country, and oaths to it. Why she told this woman about all this, a question? She made a complement.
– You cunning woman. In my opinion, is more cunning than me. You made so that I told you everything about what I think of, and I did not learn about you words. Do you ask whether all that now here happens to me is real? I will answer, no. This unreality in that concept as all of us got used to think …
Anabel killed it.
– And what it in your opinion?
– I think. – there began Natalia. – This certain reality between the worlds. I do not understand as? But we met.
– Met? – Anabel was surprised, asked. – we that? Are familiar?
– Perhaps. – Natalia assumed. – And perhaps is also not present.
Anabel asked explanations told by Natalia. She wanted to know whether Natalia understands what happens to it or not?
Natalia answered.
– How many I watch at you Anabel, I all am surprised to our similarity. – she told seeing that Anabel is similar to it as like as two peas. – I assume that a certain being of mine subconsciousness which controls me and does not allow to make mistakes. – then she emphasized. Fatal mistakes.
Anabel carefully took an interest.
– You are confident in it?
Natalia firmly and finally without povorotno said.
– On all hundred.
– Do you want to tell that you talk to yourself? – Anabel was surprised. – And I am not here? – Anabel surprised with such unexpected news exclaimed. – But I here! Here I, living person.
– No. – Natalia continued to claim. – You my subconsciousness. – then she added. – You it I. And I it you. – then she added. – You my mind, you are my thoughts, you my consciousness.
– But if so, then how you explain such fact that you talk to me?
– I do not talk to you. – Natalia told. – I talk to the thinking. – then she reminded. – Do you remember where we met?
– Certainly I remember.
– What did you then tell me? – Natalia made a pause, then reminded Anabel's words. – do not forget your purpose a task, councils of traitors do not forgive. – then she added. – I then did not understand from where you? I thought that you flew with me by that plane that landed at Charles De Gaulle's airport. I then thought that you not one. With you still someone is? I then thought that you me check. But I was mistaken. I understood that I you am unreal just now.
– From what did you solve it?
– Your questions. – Natalya began to be at suitable loss for words. – They? – Natalia made a pause, then continued. – Personal. – having made the next pause Natalia added. – Any intelligence agent will not ask private matters at once, here so bluntly. He at first will make to the woman something pleasant, will lull into a false sense of security, and then, in a conversation, so, between business, something will ask such?
– Truly. – Anabel agreed with Natalia. – The professional would act this way. But what if this not the pro? This person was sent to you that he took you and found out everything that it is necessary to him? Agree, it is simpler to nonprofessional to make it?
Natalia agreed.
– Perhaps you are also right. But whereas it is possible to explain that the chain of questions is built so what to answer them and it is necessary to lie?
Anabel explained.
– This psychology of the person.
– What do you mean?
– Person. – Anabel's beginnings. – In the majority of the nature, cannot lie. He
