~ I wonder if Slavya, for example, considered this fashionable. ~ Nowadays nobody would put on such clothes. Models dressed in old-fashioned clothes stared at me from glossy pages. Maybe they actually didn’t have publish dates on them. I didn’t know much about Soviet magazines. There were much stranger things happening here. Magazine on a nurse’s table caught my attention. I hope that there are no serious injuries other than bruises and scratches in this camp.īut at the same time I could not get rid of an idea that in case of a serious situation I would be absolutely useless. ~ But what if someone comes for actual help? With broken leg? Or with injured head? ~ ~ On the one hand there is nothing to worry about – I'll spend here half an our or so and she'll be back. You can ignore her telling she had a call while there were supposedly no phones here, I guess. ~ Oh what can I do now, I missed my chance to refuse. ~ Why me? Isn’t there anyone else in this camp? What exactly should I be doing? What if something happens? ~ Maybe it’s got something to do with my case? ~ĭisappearance of the cybernetics’ club leader made me think. Of course, he stared somewhere else, but I had a feeling that he was constantly watching me. Only Genda stared at me through his glasses. I finished my lunch, brought the tray back and left the canteen. Slavya, Electronik and Olga Dmitrievna looked at me sorrowfully but haven't said a word. So there is a reason to believe that he was gone.Īll that could be done was already done. Ulyana would have been a better fit with this behavior. Why would he do that? Shurik seemed to me a quite serious pioneer. Hiding the whole day just like that is suspicious. There was some truth in the camp leader’s words. If he actually got lost we have no time to lose! We should be able to find him before evening, we still have time. Police! We should call the police in the evening! Yeah, because knowing that you are still going in the same direction is totally useless. If I would get lost in the forest, compass would be of no real use. I wonder what else could be found in his magic vest (If he even has one)?
So we should go deeper into the forest! Maybe he got lost! ~Ĭamp leader looked at me, indicating with her look that asking more questions was not advised. ~ Every time the conversation reaches the point concerning ways I could leave ‘Sovionok’ all the camp inhabitants start changing the subject. It can't be! Shurik lives thousands of miles away. I took a note of the rhyme, but didn’t want to point it out. It is noon and he is nowhere to be found. When I sat at the table and wished bon-appetit to everyone, Olga Dmitrievna said:
Today's menu didn’t really differ from the other days’ menu. This time I had to spend some minutes in a queue. I couldn't stay unnoticed – Olga Dmitrievna called me.Ĭamp leader, Slavya and Electronik were sitting at the four-seat table.
