                        13. bloker 

        The dragon with disgust has inhaled stuffy and too warm air. 
Smelly cocktail... It was not first "excursion", and to it were familiar 
Smells of a megacity which operated on sense of smell as operates on ears 
dichajshaja cacophony. 
        The world to which it has got, at first sight could seem even 
Cosy — if not the furious daylight which is burning out pupils. Therefore the Dragon 
Preferred night. Anyway, here it was full of a grub. So it is a lot of, that 
Hunting (take in head to hunt the Dragon) would turn to a slaughter-house. But also a slaughter-house 
Became excessive in conditions when all is accessible — it is necessary to stretch only 
Hand and to take. Females, money, transport, a communication facility — any problems. 
And supramentaly are not in the way, playing the cheap performances in 
Specially taken away places and during certain time. Church — as 
Their buffoonery is called here. 
        In general, not the worst place from what he saw. And it 
Saw much. It has visited even there where very soon itself has turned from 
The hunter in game, also has hardly carried away therefrom feet... 
        Here only here it is too hot and close. Devilishly closely. 
Comfortable stall for mitov in which so are easily overcome 
Primitive temptations. Satiety, safety, conveniences... And what further? 
Degeneration? 
        The dragon felt something similar to an itch — as if thousand insects 
Pottered about in a wool on its body, and under a skin blood began to boil. And not only 
Because it has sweated. It was an itch, which reason — the alien environment. 
The Dragon did not have even a thought to be late here for a long time or to remain 
For ever. It will stay here a second longer, than it will appear 
The necessary.

        bloker has torn off a sight from the monitor, has lifted a head and has ceased to chew. 
        bloker could brag of that during free time from job 
Was interested not only boxing and baseball. Past evening he has looked 
Educational film about the African mountain gorillas. Therefore to it not 
It was necessary to guess long who is reminded it by the figure which has arisen on parkovochnoj 
To platform near a site. Anyway, the guy precisely did not concede to the male 
Gorillas on dimensions. 
        bloker could not understand, whence it undertook. In total several seconds ago 
bloker looked in that party and saw nobody. The platform was empty, if not 
To consider two patrol cars which stood there already to steam of hours with 
The muffled engines. 
        In spite of the fact that the fair part of street before a site was brightly 
It is shined, the figure of the unknown person remained dark as if constantly was 
In a narrow corridor of a shade, but it it could not be simple in skreshchenii beams 
Powerful projectors which beat from four parties. 
        bloker was considered as the quite good person on duty. In most cases it it is correct 
Reacted to those almost improbable events which sometimes occurred in 
To huge mental hospital with the population in six millions persons. On the modest 
To opinion blokera, the city was paradise for loonies. They bred even faster, than 
Them treated... Or other loonies killed. 
        bloker has mechanically darted a glance at a chronometre in the steel case and 
Has noted about itself time: two hours sixteen minutes popolunochi. 
        When he has again looked at street, the dark silhouette has disappeared. But something 
The huge and dark has arisen near a door. On THIS party automatic, 
Armour, closed door... 
        With intuition at blokera too all was in a full order. In a brain 
The warning signal quickly replaced by a siren of alarm has rung out. bloker 
Has instantly counted up, how much the armed colleagues are now in a site, 
Also it was just in case pulled to a holster. Still he has had time to think that on 
To comparison with this biped linkorom the male of a gorilla has a rest. The thought was almost 
Playful and consequently the inappropriate. 

                        *    *    *

        ... The Dragon has looked on sitting before it zadohlika. 
        One passing has sufficed to understand the main thing. The little man carried 
The weapon. It PROTECTED herd. It to much obliged and inevitably imposed 
Print. The lethality and readiness brand to die. He has incurred 
Boldness to PROTECT mitov from predators. Means, it was a superohm. But that it 
For the world where such here nedonoski are considered superami?! 
        Probably, the little man had rudiments of necessary instincts — in 
Any case, it has scented at once the danger proceeding from the stranger. But at 
It was not the main thing — FORCES. It confirmed also other conclusions of the Dragon: 
Civilisation simultaneously meant spinelessness. Here it was traced 
Inevitable communication. Safety generates slackness. A life any more 
It seems to these mongrels the everyday call thrown by the nature and others 
tvarjami their abilities to keep afloat. They do not understand, that everyone 
Second of a life is a shot in an emphasis, and each second is fraught with  destruction. And 
The award is invaluable — only existence continuation. But it seems to THESE, 
What to survive easily. It is necessary to contain the whole army of armed cretins only, 
Which will protect all of them — and anybody separately! Inexcusable 
Nonsense. 
        They have hidden behind the number. Against enormous crowds death 
Units — only the small trouble which is not menacing human 
To sort as a whole. However the Dragon has had time to notice, that in this world storming and 
Triumphing while lives which so differed from its ice native land, 
Similar strategy of a survival was characteristic for the lowest beings. Termites, 
Small birds, a plankton... 
        Well, mity have put itself on a corresponding step. 
        ... The Dragon has moved forward. Visual effect which he named 
«A shadow funnel», was gone as superfluous. 

                        *    *    *

        Strangely enough, bloker has had time to think and recollect much. Time 
It has appeared indulgently to its swept up thoughts, but has not spared the clumsy 
And a heavy construction from meat and bones to which the body has suddenly turned. 
bloker moved too slowly — and, that the worst, he realised it. 
        He has understood, that has made a mistake, having decided to become the policeman. It also 
Was mistaken, considering, that to it has carried. Till this minute he silently rejoiced the 
To quiet job. He thought, that is in safety — unlike 
Patrolmen and those guys who risked a skin, dealing with everyone 
Rabble in streets and in brothels. But the greatest, irreparable and 
Tragical error it made all conscious life — it not 
It was prepared as follows by a unique and awful instant of death. 
        The stranger personified death. It was as correctly, as though it 
Has been dressed in a loose overall sewed from a fragmentary shroud, held in hands ridiculous and 
Rusty plait from blood, and instead of a bearded snout radiating with health it was shown 
Skull. bloker has not seen anything similar when the unbidden visitor left from 
Shades, — and nevertheless the bum of the person on duty has frozen to a chair. He has seen 
CANINES. And its finitenesses too has held down ice. 
        The mountain has hung over it. Has stood in light. The stranger hardly did not touch 
Head a ceiling. Thus it moved absolutely silently. bloker has felt 
Powerful breath of an animal... 
        The animal was already absolutely close. One presence it, appear, 
Moved apart walls. Destroyed habitual space and fragile illusion 
Safety in which stayed bloker. That felt sea 
svinkoj, thrown in a terrarium. And the glass separating it from  destruction, already 
Has started to rise... 
        It does not mean, that one hand blokera has not moved behind a pistol, and 
Another — to the necessary button on the panel. But "gorilla" as if has got here 
Straight from a film scrolled by jerks, — and during next 
Jerk all occurred in tens times faster, than lasted in perception 
blokera reality rubber... 
        The last, that it has felt, is a supersonic jump of consolidation, 
Which has struck it in the person and has broken both not had time to be closed eyes. They 
Have burst, as if the balls filled with water. After an indiscernible instant 
The fist which has been wrapped up by warmed up air, has broken nose bridge Blokera 
And instead of the person there was a gaping hole with smoking edges. 
        Hardly somebody from experts would manage to define, how 
The mortal wound is put. As in a nape of a victim it was formed 
Vertical crack through which the substance of a brain was splashed out. It 
Reminded result of a shot a cumulative shell in the metal 
Pot — but only partly. 

                        *    *    *

        The fist remained pure. Blood drops... All has turned out even easier, 
Than it seemed in the beginning. It is no wonder, that these cretins have finished 
Self-destruction. And though in premises of local "refuge" were still 
At least eight persons, the Dragon has already understood, that will achieve the object without the special 
Hindrances. The weapon room was the purpose, of course. Local Altarnaja the Hole... 
        He at all has not looked at the dead person. It felt presence of others 
"superov", still the live. It used the fist once again, having transformed the panel 
In a heap of the crumpled metal, and, not losing minutes, has moved on a weapon smell... 

                        *    *    *

        Having collected the necessary quantity of fire rattles and cartridges, the Dragon 
Has decided to add to them something exotic — annigiljator, a fruit of a weapon uterus 
With Kejvana. 
        It has saved up enough energy to visit a place located in 
Ten thousand light years from here, not including the insignificant return 
Shift at biological age. In other words, after "jump" it becomes 
Little bit more youngly though it never to understand it at rational level. 
The reason was unable comprehend and many other things, but Force has replaced superu 
The unusable tool. 
        Paradoxes like murder of own immediate ancestor were impossible, 
Because the interrelation of space-time excluded "returning" in 
The SAME world. Thus, the Dragon wandered in the deformed 
Realities. However, their infinite variety compensated absence 
"Ports" and "beacons" in an infinite time range. The dragon too was 
The exile. But he at least realised true zaterjannost beings, which 
Has managed to get through the borders caused by its animal nature... 
        And nevertheless even it faced absolute obstacles. 
At moving there were the whole zones inaccessible on the unknown person to it to the reason. 
The dragon not without humour named their "reserves" — as all those places and 
Epoch in which hunting became mortally dangerous. 
        But Kejvan on which there was a global war, remained opened for 
"Visitings". Also there was no case that the Dragon has not managed to achieve what 
Wanted.
