Happens, the life in a flash transforms the hunter into game, 
The executioner — in a victim, the owner — in the slave, the legalist — in the criminal. The one who 
In the evening has fallen asleep the judge, can wake up next morning the sentenced. 
        Lucky beggars do not notice changes. 
        The person by name of Kejza only tried to avoid the worst. 
For it all has changed for one day.

        He has seen the trunk of a paralyzer induced at it and has understood, that 
Has lost. But he could not understand, when it had been made an incorrect course. Perhaps 
When he has dared at operation? Or much earlier — when has arrived 
On service in Office? Or when was born — though in this case from it demand 
It is insignificant. It about what have not warned, and nippers of the accoucheur have ruthlessly pulled out 
The dumb child from a parent womb where to it was so warmly, cosy and 
Safely... 
        Yes, something did not develop in its brain as if there were no slices 
Scattered mosaic. After operation Kejza tugovato thought, and in addition 
There were faults with memory. Nevertheless he about what did not regret. To it not 
Have left a choice. Sooner or later it inevitably would calculate. It possessed 
Too high IQ — it is ready above the established Threshold of the Victim. Also stretch 
It still at least half a year, priests would take away its consciousness. And, by itself, a body, 
But it any more so is important. 
        And he wished to be the person. It liked this simple employment. 
To pass in the evening a glass-other in a bar on a corner. To potter with the son and to learn 
To its simple words. To Make love to the woman to whom obviously did not threaten 
To cross the Threshold. To leave on picnics. To wander on an ocean coast in searches 
Rare bowls. To spend summer and to meet autumn of a life. 
        But, as it was found out, to escape it has appeared much more difficultly, than simply 
To exist. 
        In spite of the fact that than it mozgokishechnik became shorter on a kind third, 
Kejza was still capable to look at things soberly. People from Office hunted 
Not behind it, and for nejrokatterom. And while it, Kejza, will not deduce them on 
The last to kill him not begin. Unless will a little cripple. He knew about 
The methods of inquiry applied by most zealous of its former colleagues. Knew 
More than it would like. However after operation it has got rid as from 
Nightmares, and from superfluous efforts with conscience, which before quite often 
Reminded of itself, as if the jealous mistress. 
        Kejza was not the hero. Among its contemporaries of heroes at all 
Remains. At introduction «truth whey» was silent only the mute. 
Accordingly, has lost any sense and a word "treachery". Kejza 
Veins in healthy and stable society where unnecessary extreme measures have been eradicated. 
Picture spoilt unless the geeks, not capable to estimate beauty of a victim. 
And, of course, those who has adjoined them. 

                        *    *    *

        Ravens barked, thriftily having settled down on a dustbin; their shouts 
Sounded as a prophecy and were far carried in crude air. And all 
This mean area reminded Kejze an enormous dustbin. A latrine with 
In hundreds back streets. In a word, a foul place. 
        Besides that in a ferro-concrete labyrinth badly smelt, here was 
Also it is dangerous. Especially for a stranger. Kejza was not under a delusion on the bill: for 
Trained eye to define in him legavogo it is possible. Therefore 
He tried to put out less often a nose from a wheelbarrow, drove off on other street, that 
To celebrate need among ruins and changed the car twice. 
        Already the third watch he watched the house of the assumed 
nejrokattera. It was devilishly tiresome and tiresome employment. «What for 
In general grandmas if you live in such hole are necessary? »— it is angry thought Kejza, 
Writhing on a driver's seat and unsuccessfully trying to appease a pain in a back. 
He knew, these mongrels in an hour-other of easy job how much have. 
More than he earned for a year, almost daily risking the skin. 
It turned out, that the aspiration to was one more motive of its office eagerness 
spravdelivosti. 
        Most nejrokattera it was possible to take though now, but Kejza it is excellent 
Understood, that its place will be occupied at once with somebody from accomplices. Even 
tupovatyj the chief understood it. In an ideal followed call special troops and to cover 
All gang at once. But even more often agents of Office were resisted by groupings, as 
It is impossible is better adapted for conditions of an absolute underground. On, that 
To reveal communications, weeks, if not left months. 
        Job of a police dog was so thin, that Kejza preferred 
To operate alone. It was considered as the best. When the chief has directly told to it 
About it, at Kejzy mind has sufficed to prick up the ears. He understood, that meant 
Similar compliment. And since then the fear any more did not leave it. 

                        *    *    *

        ... The entrance left the person in a long coat and low pulled 
On eyes to a knitted hat. It has changed clothes, but not a skin — Kejza has learnt it 
On a complexion, pale, as the fish stomach though before saw all one 
Time, and for a moment and in twilight. About itself Kejza has christened the white man 
The dead person. It was not too far from true — to very few people it was possible 
To escape from tenacious paws of Office. 
        The dead person was not a member of grouping; it was the patient. And patients, 
And nejrokattery passed under the identical article providing the mortal 
Execution for both those, and others undermined state bases. With this dogma Kejzu 
Have acquainted at school. It has strongly sat down at its brains and till some time 
Did not call the internal protest. 
        He unmistakably distinguished patients on characteristic gait — in 
Current of several hours after transferred those operations moved so, as if 
From them dung on the move flew. 
        And here it was possible to take this chickabiddy without special efforts. Kejza 
Has communicated by a mobile phone with the partner who was for two quarters from it. 
The partner heated a bum in a bar, watched boxing on TV and drank up coffee on 
Office money — therefore the life at all did not seem to it a deposit in full a flank 
Cold melancholy. Kejza not without gloating has sent it on interception of the patient, 
Having specified rather approximate direction. He knew, that will be in time the first. And 
Most likely will receive the award, and this completely not superfluous when you have the wife and 
The child on whom the nature as follows has had a rest. 
        Kejza has got out of the car, has clasped a coat and has slowly moved 
After the patient, almost assured that that anywhere will not get to. A kind 
At it was such as if he searched for someone to the erroneous address. 
        It hardly has not paid for the self-confidence. The dead person has curtailed in 
Lane. After half-minute Kejza has looked out because of a corner. The lane was empty. 
        Kejza has suspected a trap. It was quite possible. Agents of Office 
At times found in garbage tanks with the cut throat. To forge gait 
The patient not too difficultly is there was one of koronnyh numbers most Kejzy, 
Which it executed on a bet during wine parties with colleagues. 
        It felt a sight dark brick walls and a web of the metal 
Ladders. Width it usually measured in bums of grandmother Sary. Width 
This lane made about one bum that was in general 
It is a little. Two men could disperse, though and hardly. 
        «Not to return late yet», — has thought Kejza with sour smack 
Hopelessness in a mouth. But he doomed itself(himself) to risk because was not from 
Those police dogs who easily refuse extraction. And from the award, certainly. 
And can, he simply was not able to do anything else. 
        Therefore it has got a trunk and the beginnings cautiously to make the way on the brick 
To gut. 

                        *    *    *

        Here was sumerechno even in a sunny day, and now and for a long time. 
Already through some steps Kejza has come across a wooden artificial limb of a foot, 
Looking in accuracy as the chopped off finiteness. Its job was not for 
chistopljuev, and Kejza was not too lazy to glance just in case in the standing 
Nearby a garbage tank. It has slightly opened a cover, and in a nose to it the wave has struck 
Stench from which it hardly has not turned out. Having coped with the risen 
Nausea, it has once again damned nejrokatterov, and also morons, 
Resorting to their services. 
        On the right in a wall the manhole which conducted in a cellar, but in this was found out 
Hole would manage to squeeze unless the five years' child. Further on a lane 
On a fire ladder the dead cat stuck round by flies hung. Kejza 
Has congratulated itself that has not had time to have supper yet. A corpse of a cat slightly 
Rocked, though there was a full calm. The dirt underfoot champed and 
Beaten glass crackled. Kejza could not understand, where has got to 
The patient. Unless has failed under the earth, but for its memories such still 
Done not happen. 
        He precisely knew, that after visit to nejrokatteru people did not differ 
Neither playfulness, nor sufficient ingenuity to lead round around 
Finger of the skilled agent. They turned to the easy extraction having one chance 
From ten. But also they clung to this chance to the last. 
        And if all has been prepared in advance and the patient operated on 
To the plan? Kejza already faced similar foresight. It even 
Read the messages found during a search of one such the poor creatures turned 
To itself. It unpleasantly reminded the letters of the father sent through 
Time to the son-moron. Something like: «... To You thirty six years. You 
You prefer fish soup, green tea and blondes. At you was five women, 
But only you liked the first really. Her called Elza... » 
        Touchingly to tears. Or it is ridiculous — how to look. In Office 
Everything laughed, except Kejzy though it and stretched lips in a smile. On most 
Business he understood, that in a similar way any person can develop for 
Itself the whole system of reference points which will provide adaptation and a survival in 
The future. To put secret signs on memory on the semierased map of the own 
Pettiness. And to dupe police dogs of Office. 
        ... Kejza has passed still metres thirty. Its sense of smell has already reconciled with 
Stench, but all other feelings have been still aggravated to a limit. Here 
It was possible to lose more than the award. On a way it has crushed the cardboard 
Box in which the head of the patient hardly would be located. The box has appeared 
Empty, but enough pure outside and from within. Kejza has noted about itself it 
Circumstance. 
        The grown bald small dog rummaged in scraps. Passing by, Kejza involuntarily 
Has frightened off it. It has jumped aside on some steps, then has hasty returned on 
Former place. 
        Soon it has reached a crossroads. Approximately same tarakanja a crack 
Withdrew to the right. Kejza has put out a head because of a corner. The woman of the uncertain 
Age rolled a carriage, coming nearer to it. She has been dressed in the cheap 
Coat; on a head — a scarf and points. The person is lowered, however the aristocratic 
Pallor it obviously did not differ. The carriage was big, is bright-dark blue. 
Alien stain against local serosti. The carriage closed a figure part. 
In any case the woman went too slowly that he could notice in it 
To gait something unusual. 
        Approximately in seventy metres from a crossroads pass came to an end 
Deadlock. The door rectangle there darkened. From under a carriage wheel has slipped out 
The bottle also has flown away in darkness, as if not broken off grenade... 
        Kejza wanted was to ask the woman, whether saw that the person with 
Very much a pale face, but then has thought, that anybody from local anything to it not 
Will tell. This poor rabble had an original code of silence. They could 
To cut and force each other, but for what would not address for the help to 
To the representative of the official power — rendering 
The help legavomu. And the main enemies for all of them equally remained and remain 
Full mongrels driving about in expensive cars who are able to plunder and 
To kill, not spoiling the well-groomed hands. 
        Kejza has decided to operate consistently. Moving towards 
To the partner, he at least will be convinced, that that did not manage to intercept 
The patient. That as it is necessary to search slums, the whole group would be required, 
And Kejza was not going to to be engaged in it, threatening all operation; 
nejrokatter was much more valuable extraction. 
        It has passed metres thirty in a former direction. Passed two tightly 
The driven in doors also has come to be on a small platform between houses. Even here 
Kejza continued to feel symptoms klaustrofobii. A column with a basketball board 
For dwarfs. The cords stretched from a wall to a wall — a hammock full of holes for 
The angels brought down by slingshots. On cords grey bedsheets, as if dangled 
Shrouds in any receiver-distributor of an underworld. Whence from above 
Music reached; the rapper generously strewed damnations, and Kejza was with it 
It agree. 
        He has looked back. The woman rolling a carriage, left from it. Kejze 
It seemed, that it has accelerated a step. Its silhouette has already turned to the indiscernible 
Black stain. 
        And during this moment Kejzu has dawned. It has called itself(himself) the cretin and has rushed 
Behind it after. 

                        *    *    *

        Now game has gone by its rules. Kejza has quickly overtaken the patient. 
Absolutely assured of that in a carriage there is no child, it from dispersal 
Has kicked a victim with a heavy boot in krestets, and "mummy" silently has failed the person in 
Dirt. The carriage has overturned. All requisite has fallen out of it: the long man's 
Coat, black leather and enough expensive case, a warm jacket, knitted 
Hat and mask. For a moment Kejza has had time to think, that a white mask now 
Especially reminds the person of the dead person who has acted from the fresh washed away by a rain 
Tombs. 
        The person has tried to rise. Kejza has made a step to it, going to put 
One more blow. Under a sole points have crackled. Now Kejza has seen the true 
Shape of the victim, unless slightly deformed by a dirt and doubtless 
Signs of recent testing — bruises on temples and inflamed 
slezjashchimisja eyes. It became clear, for what the scarf and points were necessary. 
Other details of a masquerade also have not resulted Kejzu in delight. Before it was 
The man of years of forty, dense enough and already grown fat, all any friable 
Under spacious lady's wear. 
        — To lay! — has bellowed Kejza, having stuck with a paralyzer trunk in a neck 
The patient. After pair seconds it has already dexterously ringed a caught little bird, 
Having put on it bracelets, and then has forced to rise and has leant to a wall. 
        It needed some time to recover the breath. He tested 
The considerable irritation of that this time at arrest was necessary fairly 
To tinker. Among other things, Kejza has soiled boots, trousers and 
Rather new coat. Damn it, after all it it is already far not the yellow-beaked 
The patrolman to run for disguised bastards! 
        Physically it stayed not in the brilliant form. Followed to recognise, that 
It is too old for such job. But the grey substance at it is perfectly in order. Here 
He has recollected what to congratulate itself(himself) there is nothing. Very much the other way. Grey substance 
Feverishly thought, touching variants in search of an exit. And soon and 
The patient has thrown to it plentiful food for reflexions. 
        The person with the broken person has croaked: 
        — Clever legavyj, yes? Means, not for long to you remains... 
        — Well you I will precisely go through, — have told Kejza, having shown, as 
Dog. It seemed to it, that it has not made anything especial. This invention with 
Masking — such cheap stuff! 
        — Hardly, — the dead person has told, looking on it almost with 
Pity. — clever legavyj, nevertheless stupid. 
        Kejza did not understand, why he still listens to this mongrel and not 
Will stop up to it a mouth, having put a trunk in a teeth. Probably, because has been assured: 
Now that anywhere will not get to. And more because the patient has crossed a side, 
Having made over itself something forbidden, monstrous, opposite to the nature. But 
Simultaneously Kejza tested burning curiosity, after all he talked with 
Being which has voluntary refused the human nature. 
        — Think, the fool, — continued the patient. — it is fast also you will send 
On testing. 
        Kejza already thought of it, and repeatedly. Therefore words 
The stranger have worked on it convincingly — as if a prophecy prokarkala 
Brainless bird to whom believe more than to all wise men on light. 
        —... Help me, and I will give you chance. — the dead person poured in to it in ears 
The rests of the poison. Or medicines? 
        Kejza had no objection to bargain. Eventually it conducted not for the first time 
Dirty game with informers. Bonus already almost laid at it in 
Pocket. 
        — Well give, surprise me, — he has told, having come nearer to a victim 
Closely and been going to hear "revelation". 
        But the patient has told only: 
        — On the right, in a jacket. 
        Kejza has put a hand to the specified address and has groped a subject in size with 
Mobile phone. But not phone. It was a portable IQ-tester — a piece, 
Which cost in the black market the whole condition. Shone on the panel 
The green light-emitting diode signalled about availability for service. 
                        *    *    *
        (In the black market sold unique service: the buyer 
Became much more stupid. How much more stupidly, did not undertake to predict 
Anybody — nejrokattery dealt with too difficult object. Thus 
The client risked to turn to the idiot. However, any did not complain. All 
The pleasure managed in the sum from ten to twenty pieces. Huge 
Money, but it seemed to victims, that the life is more expensive. nejrokatter or received 
Payment by results of postoperative testing, or... The patient already 
Was unable pay. In general it there was a dangerous and severe game, 
In which if also it was possible to someone to delay the defeat, the huge 
The price.) 

                        *    *    *

        ... These seconds Kejza has realised, that to it has really dropped out 
The rare chance. Probably, last. The twist of fate consisted that 
He hardly has not lost this chance, roughly having managed with the disguised clown. 
The tester was enough a fragile thing. Much more fragile, than human 
Organism. 
        Kejza thought. It still had a choice. The award, the transaction or... Murder. 
The patient should disappear completely, differently on interrogation this fat worm 
Will tell all. However at Kejzy does not remain neither time, nor possibility 
To hide that on pair metres under the earth. He has darted a glance in a lane — 
The partner it is not visible yet. Kejza has unbuttoned bracelets and has slapped the patient on 
To back: 
        — Has gone! 
        That should not repeat twice. It has hobbled on a lane 
Gait of a sick penguin. Kejza looked to it following. He knew the colleagues 
On Office which not reflecting would shoot to the patient at a head that 
To clean the unique witness and to hide the ends in water. But it was cleverer than them. 
On the agent at arrest — who will believe an attack in this fable? All know, 
That the patient practically is not capable to show serious resistance. 
        The person has disappeared behind turn. Kejza has allowed to itself pledge to operate 
Henceforth with limiting care. He has not got used yet to simple thought, that 
Became the state criminal. Probably, any seed ripened in 
Him for a long time, however transformation has occurred almost instantly. Conscience 
Was silent, when spoke an instinct. 

                        *    *    *

        — Legavyj, and you are not afraid, that I will finish off you directly on 
Operational table? 
        — Money does not smell, — has answered Kejza. — Second half you will receive 
In a day. If I manage to recollect, where it. 
        — To you will help to recollect. — nejrokatter has grinned. Something was 
In its grin. Something such without what Kejza would consider threat by a bluff. 

                        *    *    *

        His life was divided on "to" and "after" operation. Probably, 
Someone has simply informed on it, having noticed events in him of change, but it 
Hardly. In Office Kejzu people who, to put it mildly, did not shine surrounded 
Ability to do conclusions. Otherwise they simply would not hold on on the 
To job. Their functions were simple, clear and unequivocal: shadowing and hunting for 
nejrokatterami. The quantity of the last did not decrease, in spite of the fact that 
In case of capture them sentenced to a death penalty. However, before it is rare 
Reached — the majority had time to accept poison or to be shot. And then people 
From Office received official reprimands and informal encouragements. 
        Benefactor Kejzy was live till now. In turn, the patient has estimated 
Quality of job. Among nejrokatterov came across konovaly, and dead persons on them 
Conscience was more than enough. Those who managed to avoid 
Sacrifices, considered on fingers. And Kejza it has appeared among them. Such 
In the image, nejrokattery represented threat for national safety. 
Earlier Kejza understood, that meant these two magic words — 
«National safety» — and, for the life of me, is not present now. For example, it not 
Understood, why this thingummy could be separated from it, Kejzy, personal 
Safety. 
        As it is sad, it was set by similar questions too late — 
When there was a real danger to own skin. Yes, it did not become 
Victim. But for the sake of what were brought a victim? It, potential 
To "saviours", hostages of the civil world and public order, with 
The early childhood inspired "ideals" which allowed to justify subsequently 
Sacrifices. To them explained, what is it it is necessary for general 
Prosperity. Ancient killed people, eliciting at gods favour. Modern 
Priests elicited total good fortune — but at whom?! Demons were WHOM or THAN 
Thermonuclear century? 
        Kejza did not know answers. However would like to know, in spite of the fact that 
Crinkles at it in a brain it was reduced and IQ has fallen to the average 
Level. He felt painful division. Embodied serost should not 
To set questions, except the most simple. What beer to prefer? Where 
To have a rest in the evening? In whom to put the blind member-guide? To whom to substitute 
The zubastuju a crack?. 

                        *    *    *

        Now, waking up in the mornings, Kejza did not test pleasures, 
Melancholy. He waited for nothing, coming back to a reality. Unless it is normal? 
He did not see dreams. Having got out of unconsciousness and having opened eyes, he looked in 
Dark blue (either grey, or black) the sky behind a window and any more did not feel 
Addressless gratitude that is still live. 
        Whether then it was necessary to kill a part of for the sake of rescue whole? It 
Voluntary "I" castrated the, have spoilt the reason — but still 
Would like to save that remains. And it still felt a pain, as though 
It served as its last serviceable indicator doubtful 
Accessories to human race. 
        The deaf rage covered it at thought on what is necessary it 
To the wife if with it there will be an irreparable. Also what will be with his son?. Probably, 
The pain and the remained emotions were only the inevitable application to an instinct 
Self-preservation which was called now differently. 
        Instinct of a victim. 

                        *    *    *

        It has held on sixteen months.
