–It something the matter, sir?
–Yes, it happened. Yersinia monitoring my every step.
–Where are you now?
–On a tour of the Tower.
– Fine. After 30 minutes, go to the Royal treasury. This is the safest place in London. I'll meet you there.
–Agreed.
Solomon entered the royal treasury with a crowd of tourists. A huge wall was showing a movie about the coronation of the Queen of England. Then began the treasury itself. Solomon noticed the massive half-meter-thick iron doors.
"What a safe place this is,"– he thought, as he looked at the crown, which bore a huge diamond.
–Good afternoon, Mr. Grande, – someone nearby said softly.
–It's good to see you, Mr. Spencer.
–A very original place for rendezvous, isn't it, sir? – Spencer smiled, -Do not be surprised, but this is the most protected place in London. Here, every inch is carefully viewed and recorded. I know this well. I worked in the tower security service for 7 years. Now tell me, what happened to you today?
Solomon began to tell the story in order, not concealing the disappearance of Yesenia, the letters received from Yersinia, and the badge thrown into the trash.
Spencer listened carefully and said.
–To be honest, I don't see any crime, sir. Someone's stupid jokes that you take too painfully. Drive back to the conference, sir, and for God's sake, don't take it so personally.
Spencer's words calmed Solomon somewhat and he regained his peace of mind. They headed for the exit. Solomon got into a taxi and drove towards the institute.
Phone rang. The number was unfamiliar but memorable because the last digits coincided with the date of Solomon’s birth.
– Solomon, where are you? – he heard Yesenia's voice.
–Is that the same I wanted to ask you. Where did you run after my performance? And the phone is off.
– They took my mother to the hospital. She had another heart attack. I was with her the whole time. My phone has been dead since morning. I'm using the other one now. So, Solomon, where are you now?
–I was on a tour of the Tower.
–Have you gone for a walk in the Tower? In the middle of a conference!
–Yes! I understand that it's stupid. Your hasty departure and those idiotic text messages from Yersinia confused me.
–And you decided to hide in the Tower?
Together they began to laugh.
–You see, Yesenia, I lost my head without you.
–I see, Solomon, I see.
Solomon arrived at the hotel late in the evening. The day had been busy, and he was quite tired.
