The next day
Morning at Work
The truck arrived at the entrance of the building with Andrei driving the vehicle
As Plato reaches the truck , Andrei steps down leaving the drivers seat for Plato
Plato then goes on to sit on the drivers seat . Andrei gets in and the cabin is sealed
The both of them remove the mask . Plato ignites the engine , shifts the gear and moves the vehicle
So its begun , your journey as a driver . Said Andrei
Yes Andrei , I have learnt a lot from you and Sergey . So its a lot easier than if I was a real rookie . replied Plato
Talking Sergey , He is off . Right . He is off being a traveler . Into the far unknows , grinned Andrei
Into the far unknowns , yes . He will be fine anywhere in the galaxy . A man like that will survive anywhere . replied Plato
Indeed . It is sad to see him go . He was a top bloke . Said Andrei
Andrei , said Plato
There seems to be an arrangement between you and Sergey , yes ? asked Plato
Yes , there is an arrangement between the two of us . Actually I have a set of instructions from Sergey I just have to follow them , Replied Andrei
And you Plato, you too are in business with us ? asked Andrei
I'm . replied Plato . Cutting short the conversation purposely
Good to hear . Said Andrei
Andrei looked over to Plato . We only do business on the day I drive . When you drive , we just do our job and get back . Said Andrei
Why is that ? asked Plato
I do not know , Its just Sergey's instructions . Maybe he just does not trust you enough . Replied Andrei
Or it could be , he does not want my hands dirty . Said Plato in a confident tone
The last line drew silence in the truck
Andrei was a bit taken aback
What do you mean by that ? he asked Plato
Its nothing . I was just pulling your leg , Andrei . Said Plato
You do not make wise joke like that . Ok , you understand . Warned Andrei .
Plato smiled .
I'm serious Plato . That's not cool . We are all in it . Said Andrei
It was a joke . Of course we are all in it . Replied Plato
There was no conversation between the two of them after that for quite some time
Plato was busy concentrating on the roads and keeping his head focused , so as to not make any mistake .
A wild animal running between the roads in the early morning's of the hour was not that uncommon . There were a lot of accidents that occurred , sometimes injuring both the humans and the animals . And this particular section Plato was heading into was the most dangerous portion of all . And to their misfortune , it was still very dark . This made Plato a bit uncomfortable , but he did not show any such nervousness to Andrei . He kept a cool demeanor and drove in to the dangerous part .
The lights need to be on bright , Plato . Instructed Andrei
Plato shifted the lights to high beam and the roads were a bit more clearer to him
This gave a boost of confidence to Plato ,who drove in more confidently
The roads curved a lot more than the usual and there were huge potholes and maintenance work goin on
Andrei , said Plato . What if Mr. Peter finds out about out business , which is illegal
Then we are fired , it is not like he would shoot us . Replied Andrei
And you are fine with that ? what about your future , your security ? asked Plato
I need the money , Plato . I'm no more a single man . You know , I'm soon going to get married and this is a time I need to take a risk . replied Andrei
And if there is a black mark , then no government organization is going to hire us after that . Said Plato
I have a plan , and Sergey has set it up for you as well . said Andrei
What is that ? asked Plato
If we get caught , we join Andrea . And she pays a lot more than the government . Said Andrei
We join her . Heck , we do not even know what she does . She might be making bombs and planning to blow up important buildings and people . said Plato
Come on , do not be naïve . Your imagination stretches far too much . Replied Andrei
I'm just saying . It is a possibility . And if we get caught Andrei , I'm moving back to Greece . I will not work for an illegal . Said Plato
That's your choice man . But right now , you just got to relax. It will be fine . Said Andrei trying to reassure Plato
The dangerous part was over , and to their fortune there were no wild animals running across the road .
There was a bit sunshine , that started to some out from between the clouds .
Plato increased the speed of the truck
Plato , said Andrei
Do you really think that you can make a bomb out of nuclear waste ? asked Andrei
No , replied Plato
Then the case seems to be settled . Said Andrei
Lets go dump this in the yard and get back to the plant . The day looks really long , today
Lets get the job done, said Plato as they saw the dump yard was in their vicinity
