Hidden Door 11
“ Where has mom gone?” Asked the boy, “ Is she safe ?”
So-wn was there to answer the children’s questions, though things were too complicated to explain easily. The children still thought that So-wn and Pare were a couple and they were adopted parents with the real wish to be the parents to love their children. Also those children’s brains were with such high IQ their emotional stage was still of those youngs.
“ Do I really have to attend the party ?” Said Pare reluctantly, “ I don’t even have any dress to wear.”
That was a strong wish of a neighbour living in one of the houses built along the river. Pare was seen by some people and because she was so pretty people chatted about her and got interested, especially some men who were watching her from their windows up high. The birthday party was for an old lady and everybody in the neighbourhood knew her and got invited to the party.
“ What if my tip works and unnecessarily takes his attention?”
“ Pare, I don’t think there is a tip implanted in your brain. The idea of the way the tip would work is quite funny and very difficult to start with. And Mr Suzuki fell in love with you before he implanted. And I was only seeing you from quite a distance away. Who else was in love with you so crazily? So that you can say the tip is working? Maybe there was a tip ‘like that’ was there at Mr. Suzuki’s hand but I don’t think he implanted it in your brain. What stupid would implant such a tip in the head of the girl he loves?”
Pare was standing at the window enjoying the breeze and the scenery.
“ I never saw trees from up high like here and never thought their bright green young leaves were so beautiful.”
“ Pare,, we are talking about the party. Can I accept the invitation?”
“ I need a dress.”
老婦人の家に入っていくと、すれ違う誰もが私を凝視しした
私 は居心地悪く隅の椅子に腰掛けて窓の外を見やった
子どもたちの誕生会でもこんな感じだったなと思い出してため息を付いた
視線を部屋の反対の壁へやると、上等なジャケットに蝶ネクタイをした紳士が私を見ながら微笑んだ
ドキドキしてしまうのが自分でやっかいだが仕方ない
私は服のリボンを解いたり結んだりして賢一が飲み物を持ってきてくれるのを待っていた
近くの椅子にまだ学生ではと思うほどの若い男性が座り、シャツの襟とネクタイを直しながらはっきりと私を見て明るい笑みを浮かべた
Then, another man in his thirties sat right beside me and talked to me without hesitation.
“ Are you with anyone? I haven’t seen you in this area before? Have you moved to this area recently?”
I tried to think of a good excuse, taking myself to think longer than usual. The man was looking at me all over and making me so nervous. I stood up and went to a balcony. He came after me and said quietly.
“ It’s better here. You can breathe fresh air. Aren’t you thirsty? Shall I get you anything to drink? What would you like?”
“ Well,, somebody else is getting my drink. Thank you.” Said I, as I was feeling very restless.
Kenichi found us.
“ You are here. I was looking for you. Are you hot inside?” Said Kenichi , as he was acting, that he didn’t notice the man. “ Pare, you need to eat some too. You haven’t eaten since you woke up.”
Kenichi deliberately said what he said to tell the man that Kenichi was very close to Pare. Though the man said,
“ Oh, then, you should eat. The lady’s maid is a very good cook. “
I kept being quiet as I didn’t know what to say. Kenichi said,
“ That is true. I love her pork stewed in red wine. She bakes bread as well. Shall I get you some? If you wish to stay here.”
“ I will go. “ Said I, as I quickly took my stole and wore it on my shoulders.
Left out men talked.
“ Do you live with her?Are you her boyfriend?” Asked the man.
“ No, I am not her boyfriend but I am staying in the same house as her bodyguard.” Said Kenichi proudly.
“ Bodyguard? Is she in danger? What danger?” Puzzled the man.
“ It is a secret though she has to be hidden and has to be very careful.”
The man in his thirties didn’t really take Kenichi’s words seriously, instead he was trying to get another chance to talk to me.
As the day went by many candles were lit and someone started playing a piano. It was a very good pianist. The live music sounded so lovely to my ears. The man in his thirties took my hand and led me to dance with the music.
“ Pare, you are like a blossoming rose. You should enjoy the evening. “ Said the man, as he knew that Pare didn’t dislike him and he held Pare tightly unnecessarily. Kenichi was watching. Kenichi needed to watch if anything funny happens. He couldn’t be enjoying the dance with me as he had to be at the place where everything was clearly watched.
The perfume of the man I was dancing with and the motion I was thrown in, made me dizzy.
“ Sorry, I need a break. I need some cold water. Would you?”
I asked the man I was dancing with. He looked happy being asked to do anything by me.
In the engine room of the submarine of Russia, which went through the baltic sea carrying their top scientific heritage, Belil was watching the engine and other facilities as a chief engineer. He had been on the submarine for 65 days. Everything in the submarine was made so small. His room was tiny as well though it had every private need. The submarine was going the safest way, not the fastest way. So he had time to plan well.
In his room Belil prepared five tiny but powerful bombs and a bottle of liquid nitrogen. He put those hidden in his uniform and went to the places which he decided well balanced to destroy all. After setting the bombs he went to the laboratory opening its door with the secret code which he found infrared light. It was very easy to find and move their scientific heritage in the containers he got and froze them with liquid nitrogen. The containers were super tough and he was wearing a swimsuit for the deep water. He went to one of their exit doors, which was of rare use. The camera was bent by him some days ago. He got the oxygen tank and opened the double door one by one, and came out of the submarine. He didn’t swim away right away. He put a gum-like material on the cameras and ladders, on which could detect his running direction, for them to be useless. The detectors were not getting close attention anyway as Belil was talking to the radar and camera operators that they didn’t have to be careful at all as there was nothing to be afraid of in the deep water at that age and nobody would ever think a submarine would be carrying anything that important. He was telling those men their unnecessary attention to the enemies in different ways and words every single day till they became so lazy that those men started being so neglectful that they often went to the cafeteria or the smoking room, or watched films, even played chess which was their national game needing lots of concentration, all during their working time.
Belil swam far enough and the location of the submarine in the Baltic was so desolate that it would be almost impossible to find any remains. He pressed the button.
It was so deep that the surface of the water had no effect. The whole thing including everything and everyone apart from Belil and the frozen scientific heritage smashed into pieces in one moment.
