The story of a neighbor on a car coupe, presented by Anton. He began his narrative when his companion, a very gentle virgin, went into the restaurant wagon to buy something.
“I worked as a master in servicing slot machines and roulette in one large capital casino. You paid well, you say nothing. Well, I thought it would continue and continue. I wanted to buy a three-bedroom apartment in the center, went into a mortgage, bought a classy SUV "Mercedes", also in debt. And suddenly, the bat! Casinos in Moscow are covered. I am a pink on the street, and I am in debt like silk. That and look, my laid down one-bedroom apartment will have to give to the bank, and still then I do not fully calculate. In other words, bombs, what do we have to do? There is no other job I can find – the crisis. In principle, there is no demand for my profession.
A friend of mine was in the guard of the casino, he was not fired - let someone guard the empty building. We called him back.
I ask him somehow: what did the boss decide to do with the former casino?
He says: nothing has been decided yet, all the equipment – slot machines, roulette, gambling tables – are in place. The headquarters believe that there, on top, they will think about it, and everything will be as before, because both the state and the city have losses due to the loss of tax deductions. Not to mention the individual officials who covered this business. Well, for the time being, my friend says, the location of the casino under corporations and various events are rented. Here, for example, next Friday, we are arranging a corporate company with a large company with a foreign name.
Here my head — apparently from my desperate position — was pervaded by the same desperate thought. And the boss of the casino – I ask, holding my breath – is present at such events? The friend, while not suspecting anything, answers “no.” I am for him: when you wait, let me go into the building, I want to take my instrument, which I forgot in the casino. He – well, today and come in.
I enter the building. I check the slot machines, roulette – everything works; connect – once spit.
A safe with gambling chips in place. I knew the code. Opened – the chips are lying.
I come home, I call the croupier from our casino Lenke, with whom I had a warm relationship, I share my idea, I want to attract her. She was frightened to death, refused and advised none of us not to call - they will bet immediately. And then, say, you do not live at all.
It may be, but it hurts money. I started pretending who to rely on in this risky business: the bull must necessarily be a cute girl like Lenki, and another one is needed to distribute the chips.
I remembered her neighbor on the ground floor, Polina: she is studying at GITIS at the acting faculty, always sitting without money and very bad for herself.
I come to her, telling the essence of the matter, as if it was just about hallucination, the opportunity to earn well, I don't even think about any risk. However, she seemed to realize that this was an affair, but still because of no money immediately agreed and promised to attract another girlfriend.
The next day, missing three at the casino, waited for the firmers to come up, and, mixed with them, broke into the building. They waited, when the people ordered, then Polinka approached their buffer and said that as a presentation to the tenants, the management of the casino, specifically for the guests, for one night will launch roulette and slot machines.
How they were all pleased! The game started, and bigger. Those who had little money with them, they called home or elsewhere and carried them.
At 6 a.m. I turned off the power supply and Polinka announced that the game was over. Everyone was upset, but not upset.
We calculated the profit – four million with something, fairly divided into three.
At the exit of the building, the label came out: the change was taken by my friend-guard, who immediately struck me. I told him I just came here for a drink. He seemed to believe, but then figured out what to do, called me in the evening and demanded the grandmother for silence. I gave him 100 pieces and then decided to get involved in this case. He informed us about the corporate officers and did so that his duty fell on that evening. So we worked with some bank, then with oil workers, and we earned more and more money. I paid for the apartment and the car. It should have ended, but greed was over, and I decided to continue in the same spirit.
After one of these events, I am entering my home. I just get out of the car – I’m caught with two blades under white blades and stuck in a nearby minibus. There, I see the Deputy Casino Security Director, whose name was just Sasha, and who, just by his appearance, inspired me with unreasonable horror.
“Tell me,” he said without any apparent aggression.
I did not hide anything, because I naturally felt a danger to life, despite his peaceful tone, silenced only about my friend-guard and greatly underestimated our ladies.
“Well,” Sasha announced, “everything you earn, you can keep for yourself. But now all your three will do the same thing, but for free. Exactly a year. “Did you understand me well?”
I understood him very well, and the girls understood me very well too.”
At this point, his companion entered the coupe with bags filled with all kinds of food and drinks, but my companion after a short pause continued the story:
“And we started serving corporations already, so to speak, on a free basis, and the people of Sasha looked after us so we couldn’t catch cash in the process of the game. I was looking for a way out, but I couldn’t come up with anything – I’ll be straight: the fear I felt before this Sasha, just clogged my brains. But weeks later, two bars, to our relief, covered up – someone dropped organs.”
“Yes, I dropped,” Anton’s satellite suddenly announced, “we had to work for free on the fig.”
Anton stumbled on her, and then somewhat wildly wandered.
“Get to know, it’s the same Polina,” he said laughing, “we decided to get married, and now we’re on a honeymoon trip.”
I have nothing left but to wish the newlyweds happiness.
