Andrei drove the truck over to the broken factory where Andrea handled here operations . They stopped the truck in front of the door . The two of them waited for her to come , indeed they waited a long time . 30 minutes had passed and still there was no sign of her . What do we do ? asked Andrei . Let us wait for some more time and then we leave . Replied Plato . Ok , agreed Andrei . Andrei looked at his watch repeatedly unable to cover his nervousness . Have you met her before ? asked Plato . Yes , replied Andrei . Once , I came here with Sergey . A few months back . He was driving and I was here , where you are seated . She came and they exchanged a few words between them , Andrea and Sergey . I could not hear much . It was a very brief conversation . So that one time I met her . Said Andrei . Plato looked over to the other side of the window . Ok , here she comes . He alerted Andrei .
Andrea walked over to the truck , along with Antony . Hello , greeted Andrei . Andrei waited for a response and there was none . She looked at Plato and again without saying anything . Who loaded the stuff into the truck today , Romanov ? She asked . Yes , Romanov . Replied Andrea . Ok . Come again next week and we will do business , said Andrea and went into the building . That's it ? Andrei asked Plato . Plato raised his hands in a way that said he did know either what had happened . Andrei started the engine and went ahead
She does not trust us , said Andrei . That is why she told us go without taking anything . Maybe so , replied Plato . Plato did not care much about the handlings of the business . He just wanted to get the job done . And for this , this is something he was pushed into and he certainly was not going to put more effort into this . And why did she ask for old man Romanov ? what has he got to do with this ? asked Andrei . Although not expecting any answer from Plato as he was certain that he did not have one . Plato too did not bother to respond . Lets get the job done , said Plato to Andrei . Yeah , ok . Replied Andrei . Anyway she said us to come again next week . So , all is not lost . Said Andrei
Back at the Plant
The truck enters the plant , dropping Plato at the entrance and with Andrei taking it to the Garage for parking . Plato gets down from the truck and goes to the changing room to remove the protective clothes . After changing he comes to the entrance and he sees Andrei waiting for him with his mask hanging on his neck . You parked it already , asked Plato . Standing under the fading sun was Andrei with a shock on his face , seemingly clear to Plato as he got closer to him
Plato , Said Andrei , I was there in the parking and there was old man Romanov . He was waiting for me , he said . So I asked him , why was he waiting for me . He did not say anything . He just said get the other bloke who was with you and come and meet me .
Old man Romanov wants to meet me ? asked Plato in a surprised manner
Lets go , said Andrei .
Ok , replied Plato .
The two of them walked over to the backside of the huge main building . At the back of the main building was the garage . Capable of housing hundreds of trucks . But lately , there were not that many trucks around . Less than a hundred by the best estimates . Lesser drivers was the reason for the trucks to be reduced . And what happens to the waste ? that remains a mystery . The two of them taking long strides reach the garage and they see old man Romanov standing there , waiting for the two of them . His posture remained the same as they approached him . Andrei , said Romanov , and you . what is your name , he asked Plato
Plato , he replied .
Plato , that's a strange name for a person working in a nuclear plant .
Where are you from ? he asked Plato
