Ghosts of Dubrovnik

"God, what a relief!" moaned voice of the inspector behind closed doors. The officers pricked their ears more. If the colleagues from Paris said the truth, when the Inspector Koichi Zenigata brought to his office a woman then they should expect some interesting sounds.

"Damn, that was a great idea!" Now moaned arrested woman. Both huffed and moan in ecstasy.

"Can you see anything?" hissed one of the policemen to a colleague, who won a position at the keyhole.

"Nothing; the old prick sealed a lock with putty" snorted a chief voyeur. Then, as if on cue, the office door swung open, and the officers fell on each other. The one who occupied the keyhole stood eye to eye with bare, covered with blistered Inspector's feet.

"Do you have anything interesting to say?" snapped Zenigata chewing on an ending of a cigarette. Police officers shook their heads "SO FUCK OUT, THE HELL !

And cops did that; they all ran away. Zenigata slammed the door and returned to the interrupted classes- soaking sore feet in a bowl of water. His detainee also gave her legs a little luxury.

"What did they expect?" Eris blew smoky snake.

"The Free Porn I suppose" snorted Zenigata reaching under the desk and taking a girl's backpack "And now to the point."

First he took out two longitudinal packages containing a bottles of wine. Then: Swedish crime in Polish language, folding knife, Swiss Army knife, backing powder that matches the color of her skin, properly secured the grenade and three packs of cigarettes, but only one of them contained a real smokes; the other two were used for the production of a smokescreen.

"And what is it all, for what?" asked Zenigata with arms on his chest. Eris scratched with consternation back of her neck "Don't try to play dumb, more dangerous criminals than you have tried that number."

"It's not this; just itchy neck" said Eri chewing the ending of a cigarette "And it's all for self-defense."

"Against what? - Tone and attitude of the inspector suggested that if it listens to it, but I really do not believe a word of it.

"Against boredom, ossification, mafia, pervs..." Eris with a smile took out a flask from her pocket "and against common sense."

Zenigata wrinkled his nose.

"You know that I can shut you in the cell just for a moonshine?" Inspector took her flask.

"But...?" Girl raised her pierced eyebrow.

"I want to know what you've done with the Crystal Crown" said the cop pouring moonshine in a pot with some half-dead flower on the window "I don't think you sold it to some receiver of stolen goods. Too large. So?"

Eris took large dose of nicotine and the flame approached to her lips. Then she inhaled a huge cloud of smoke. It's good that the window was open.

"From where came a theory that I even sold it?" she asked quietly, "Maybe I locked it in the safe and wear on my head when I'm drunk?"

"Come on, I know women like you" Zenigata drank some coffee, he made himself earlier. "This wine, which bought does not look cheap. You have a customer. Fast cash injection was needed or desired."

"Alright." Eris sighed putting out a cigarette in the ashtray "Yes, I have a client. But he didn't want it for himself. He'll deliver it to where it should be, but not necessarily to the museum. And by the way... How's your coffee?"

And she took out of her pocket empty pack of somnifacient drug.

Zenigata felt as his hair's getting gray and it had nothing to do with age.

"You've gotta be kidding me" he grated and fainted. So from pure amazement.

----------------------------------

When he awoke, Zenigata noticed he was sitting in his chair at the desk (and he remembered that before losing consciousness he fell to the ground), on the desk is a glass of water and half the office is occupied by a hedge.

"What the…?!" Zenigata jumped to his feet and became entangled in vines "Fuck!"

"Inspector!" to the office came a frightened young officer and stared at the Japanese trying to tear vines around his legs "Oh."

"Don't stare, just help me!" the inspector rebuked him "Which joker threw this gardening to my office, dammit?!

"N-nobody..." choked kid tugging stalks "For the past two hours no one here didn't go in here, really!

"What…?" Zenigata choked and then remembered something. What was in this fucking moonshine?, he thought with horror.

-------------------

In Zraèna luka Dubrovnik (or Dubrovnik airport) was little traffic; tourist season hasn't started yet, so sometimes happened that airport staff had nothing to do all day long. When the control tower reported the flight of Polish charter plane, everyone quickly took the position.

A woman had cutted short, fiery red hair, tanned skin, green eyes and well-tailored suit. Her luggage consisted of an ordinary suitcase on wheels and stuffed duffle bag. She showed a passport with a marked Japanese citizenship and the contents of both bags to customs officers. Suitcase contained clothes and a cosmetics, but sport bag aroused objections.

"Puška*?!" publican pulled a gun on daylight "Pištolji**?! Meci***?! Ma'am, the war is long over****!"

"I'm ICPO agent, sir," red-haired woman pulled out a badge and a file of documents "And this is my authorization to import all this equipment. Do you want confirmation from my superiors?"

"I beg your pardon, Inspector Flames" publican scanned documents. Everything was in perfect order, but the size of the arsenal a little scared him. "But what this can happen, that carries you so many weapons?"

"The person I'm racing is extremely dangerous, believe me" 'Inspector' Flames hid the badge and zipped up her bag," You'd better be ready for anything. "

"Of course" the man nodded "Welcome to Croatia, Mrs. Inspector."

"Good day, gentlemen" Terra couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when she left the airport. But quickly she regretted that she had a full suit. She didn't stay long enough on the Airport board to feel the effects of the heat.

Damn, I'm Fire Elemental, and I can't stand the usual Croatian weather?!, the Ore upsets, unbuttoning her shirt and loosening her tie, Damn this bloody base at the top of Fuji!
