Created with intellectual publishing system Ridero
Chapter�1
September 16�was a�normal working day for a�teacher of�English Elena Dmitrievna. The time on the mobile phone showed 14:45. Just finished the first lesson of�the second shift. The class stood in�a�wild roar.
��Guys, let�s keep it down!�� tried to�shout down the class of�Elena Dmitrievna.
Realizing that it�s useless, Yelena, took the wallet and mobile phone and went to�high school cafeteria. She walked down a�school hallway, when suddenly I�got a�call from her cell phone:
Yeah, I�m listening!
The connection came an excited female voice:
��Elena Dmitrievna, Hello! This mom Nadya Timofeeva. Tell me, is long over, the lessons from the first shift? Nadia is still not home and her phone is not responding!
��The first shift I�was released two hours ago, maybe Nadia with her friend? Seems she�s friends with Diana Zelenina. I�now find her phone and call you back.
E Lena D. was the class teacher 5"B�, in�which he studied Nadia Timofeeva. With 5"B� she knew for only two weeks, as after the fourth grade of�elementary school ends, and all the disciples to�distribute it on new classes -starts secondary school. At school Elena Dmitrievna worked for over 30�years. She was a�typical Russian teacher working in�a�typical high school of�a�small provincial town like any other in�the territory of�our country: of�medium height, stout, with short hair, wearing glasses. Dressed usually in�a�simple skirt and blouse, and shoes with low heels.
For two weeks it is impossible to�know their students, but Nadia Timofeeva she remembered. First of�all she was a�good student and was valedictorian, and he often raised his hand in�class to�answer. She sat at the same Desk with Diana Zelenina�� they were friends. Besides, today was a�great hour on which the class was shown a�documentary film about the war. Nadia burst into tears. Yelena thought that the girl was very sensitive and kind.
Searching and finding the phone Diana Zelenina, Elena Dmitrievna again dialed the number�:
��Write down the phone number and address of�Diana, if that call me, we will continue to�look.
Thank�you!
Chapter�2
��Hello!
In�the class ran the girl 30�years in�sports pants and a�pink t-shirt with silver inscription. Bleached hair has been trimmed under Kare. Gray eyes subtly outlined with black pencil, eyebrow tattooing, lips slightly tinted pink gloss. On the right cheek of�the girl was the mole.
��Elena Dmitrievna, that I�called you an hour ago, I�am a�mother of�Nadya Timofeeva!
��Yes, Yes! Well, Nadia wasn�t?
��No! I�went to�Diana�� Diana is at home, and Nadi. Diana said they parted at the gate of�the Park, and Nadia went home. I�called home, but Nadia there did not appear! What to�do�now?
��Calm down, please. Let me call up all the classmates Nadi, suddenly she went to�someone to�visit. That may be, children are children, overworked and forgot to�call.
Elena Dmitrievna began to�call all the students of�5"B� class one by�one, but Nadia was not there.
��It is necessary to�go to�the police! the girl got up and walked to�the exit.
��If there is, call me, I�care!
��Well, I�ll call�
Coming out of�the school building Margarita Timofeeva�� was the name of�the mother of�Nadya Timofeeva, went to�the city police Department.
The police station was a�grey two-storey Soviet building. Behind a�glass wall sat on duty and responded to�the matter coming calls.
Hello, I�lost my daughter did not return home from school. The teacher called all the classmates, but it�s not. I�want to�make a�statement.
��How old is your daughter?
��Eleven years.
��It is clear. Come over here, sit down. Take a�sheet and write it like it is: who you are, surname, name, patronymic, name of�the daughter, how old she is, how lost. Things as they are and write.

The attendant looked at the clock on the wall�� the time was 17:15

��With a�no. After school I�immediately went here. Now I�will go home and get some.

Margarita turned back to�the duty office and dialed the number on a�mobile phone:
��Sonia, Nadia didn�t come home? the girl tried to�control myself, because seemed calm.�� I�am now in�the police, wrote a�statement, I�want pictures of�Nadia. Look in�the album something suitable, I�ll come.

Her eyes were brightly painted and penciled, and full lips applied bright red lipstick.
��Tell�us, how goes your daughter?�� a�journalist held a�microphone to�the face of�Margarita Timofeeva.
Well, 15th of�September I�was waiting for the daughter from school, when the appointed time she never came back, I�began to�call the teacher, then went to�her friend Nadya�s there, too. Then I�went to�school. We were looking for a�teacher together, called classmates. I�decided to�go to�the police.�� slightly stuttering said Margarita.
��Tell me, Nadia met someone from school?
��In�fourth grade she met, but this year, Nadia asked not to�meet, as she was ashamed in�front of�classmates.
��As we know, you before the loss came with the watch?
��Yes, I�m working shifts in�another city together with her husband. In�the morning I�followed Nadia to�school. In�the afternoon went to�meet her, but we missed her. Apparently she was kidnapped before. In�the area my mother repeatedly attacked.
Your husband is the father of�Nadia?
��No, dear father of�Nadia does not live with�us. He has another family.
��Who lived Nadia, when you and your husband worked on the watch?
��She lived with my sister and her husband and my grandmother.
��Do you have any suspicions who could have done�it?
��Yes, we have suspicions. My sister, i.e. my aunt Nadine said that three days before the abduction to�Nade on the bridge I�stuck some man, asked her about the river. But it was scared off behind the�guy.
��You know that the mayor has offered a�reward of�1000000�roubles for the information about the whereabouts of�Nadya Timofeeva�� the journalist applied to�the audience of�the TV channel.
��What would you like to�say to�the audience, or maybe would like to�appeal to�your daughter�s kidnappers?

Thank you! I�wish you good luck in�search. To�find your daughter alive and unharmed!
��And thank�you�
Chapter�4
The search did not stop for one day. Nadia was looking for and in�weekends and on weekdays, who had such an opportunity.
��You heard that in�our town the girl went missing 11�years, Nadia Timofeeva? asked her husband, pouring the boiling water into a�Cup of�coffee.�� Left school and home not reached. It�s been a�few days looking�for.
Ksenia slowly moved around the kitchen in�a�short robe and sandals home. Thick, wavy red hair was carelessly gathered the top and pinned barrette. Xenia have not had time in�the morning to�apply makeup, and because all her red freckles were now visible on a�white face and large blue eyes framed with fluffy eyelashes light. She sat down at the table across from her husband and put the drink next to�him. Alex extinguished the cigarette and put the butt in�a�glass ashtray.
��Yes, I�heard at work was talking about it. By�the way, our guys are going on a�quest today. Dima is a�dog, he wants her to�take. I�don�t know, will anything come of�it, I�need some specially trained search dogs. But, in�any case, it�s better than nothing. Suddenly something smells.
��Maybe we go with them? �asked Ksenia.
��Do you want? I�think in�your situation it�s better not to�participate in�such events.
You know, I�even dreamt of�today. It has never happened. I�want to�go!�� persistently said Ksenia.
��What did you dream?�� asked the husband with interest and even a�sort of�surprise.
��She asked that she was found�
��She was alive in�a�dream?
��Yes, alive. At least I�thought�so�
Ksenia and Alex as we both fell silent and for a�while sat silent in�thought, each thinking of�his.
��I�think you�re just too close took this story due to�the fact that she is now expecting a�baby, think a�lot about children, that�s all!�� husband with a�smile looked at Her and stroked her ginger hair, gleaming red gold in�the morning�sun.
��Maybe� where do you think its worth a�look, if she�s alive?
Alex for some time, thought, said:
��If she�s alive�� she�s probably being held somewhere in�the garage or in�abandoned dachas, or anybody else in�the cellar. Well, something like that. It could be kidnap to�demand a�ransom. Although, no one has yet presented no demands. And, in�General, such a�public outcry this case has produced, it seems to�me that criminals are now afraid. I�m afraid that they can now get rid of�it. Well, of�course, if abducted for ransom. There may be other reasons�
��How many cases, when a�maniac was holding his victims for years in�basements and cellars, dug specially for this purpose! Remember, I�wrote about Natasha kampusch from America? Her man was kidnapped and held in�a�specially dug pit in�his garage. Eight years she spent there, and then when he began to�trust her to�clean up my garage, ran away from him. She even wrote a�book about it and sued the estate of�a�maniac. And he, as I�recall, committed suicide� Yes, though we do not remember in�what city, man lived with his mother, was not married. Dug at home an entire room and lured two young girls. He lived four years. One even several children gave birth to�him, and then they managed to�pass a�note to�another girl quietly when he wanted her to�lure. She went with this note to�the police. And then only found them and freed� at all. scary even to�think�
��I�can call Dima and find out where they are going. Go with them, and you still will not calm down! laughing said Alex.
��Of�course, I�will not rest�
About an hour later Xenia�s husband arrived at the house of�Dmitry Ustyuzhanina in�their dark-blue �Crown�. Dmitry lived in�a�two-story brick house, which he built himself, along with his older brother Sergei and his father. A�year ago, Dima is married and has got two daughters�� twins Alina and angelina. Dmitri was the same age as Alex. Tall with dark short-cropped hair, brown eyes, and a�figure of�Apollo. They met a�few years ago, when Dmitry with his father and brother Sergey decided to�organize his company for the repair and decoration of�apartments and houses. They were looking for a�good paver tile, and Alex was looking for work. Since then they have worked together.
Good morning!�� climbs out of�the car said Alex.
Hey! And you do not get ill! Well, thinking with�us?! with unconcealed joy said Dima over the fence.
��Yes, my wife insisted,�� Alexey lovingly pulled her to�him Xenia. How many people going on a�quest?
��I, Sergei and his wife Olga, the two of�you, Yuri with her son. It turns out seven people.
��Yuri���who?
��This is my neighbor, right across the street there, Dima waved his hand in�a�house of�white brick with semi-circular plastic Windows and blue tiles on the roof, surrounded by�a�wrought-iron fence. The top and bottom of�the walls was lined with a�pattern of�red brick.
Dog take?
��Yes, Rex is going with�us! Take with a�boat want to�check the river and lake, you know, we all the time go? Want to�go there. Well, the forest around is also need to�prosharit.
Alex of�course knew these lakes, about which said Dima, as often went there for fishing and just relax. These lakes began on the outskirts of�the city and stretched for many kilometers along the route.
How�s that all going?�� came out of�the gate Sergey with Olga, and their forward ran Rex (German shepherd).
Rex happily ran in�circles around Demenego Lexus.
��Food scored for the week! -a huge Pat on the bag Olga.�� Now can not return home, directly on the street overnight will be! Children fused parents, freedom!
��Now Yuri with Maxim will approach and�go.
The boat was fastened to�the roof of�the Lexus, the trunk loaded with bags of�food and drinks, large tarpaulin boots, Dima checked the first aid kit. Rex climbed into the back seat and were waiting. Ten minutes later to�the total group came a�man of�about 45,tanned (I�could see he was all summer spent outdoors),graying hair seemed to�pale in�contrast to�her tanned face, dressed in�camouflage green-yellow-brown-spotted clothes. On his feet he had high canvas boots, and a�backpack behind. Next to�him, as well dressed young man of�about 19�20, tall, with blond hair and large gray eyes.
��Meet Yura and Maxim!�� turning to�Alex with Ksenia, Dima said. And these are our friends�� Xenia and Leh with Alex we work together!
New friends shook hands.
��Well, sit in�cars? It seems everything in�the collection. Now we will go to�the gas station and go as planned!�� sitting at the wheel of�his jeep, said Dmitry.
On the outskirts of�the city, the company stopped at a�gas station and took to�the road with full tanks of�gasoline. Along the route on both sides of�the stretched mixed forest consisting of�birches, pines, fir trees and various shrubs. Most of�the trees have already turned yellow. The wind blew the leaves and they swirled in�the air as in�a�waltz. On the roadsides here and there were mushroom pickers with buckets full of�mushrooms and sold to�passing drivers. The day was warm and Sunny, blue-blue sky hung a�rare snow-white clouds. In�front rode Dima on his Lexus in�the company of�his brother Sergei and his wife Olga, Maxim, George and Rex. They were followed by�Toyota with Ksenia and Alex. Soon after, the jeep turned onto a�forest road. Had to�go slowly and carefully, as all the so-called road, was in�the pits and potholes. Fifteen minutes later, went to�a�small lake, overgrown with reeds. The jeep stopped near the water. He turned out to�be Dmitry, and after walking a�little, surveyed the scene, gave the command to�leave the cars:
��We will search for here, check the lake and the forest around.
Leaving the women next to�cars, men set out to�explore the countryside. Examined literally every Bush, looked if there were any newly dug earth. He collected and brought all the trash in�the hope that it may be things missing girls. Finding nothing, decided to�seek in�the reeds. To�do this, got a�large stick and wearing high boots. Dima took the boat from the car and they, together with his brother, using sticks and oars were examined along and across the lake several times. Was looking, with short breaks for rest and food until it was getting dark. The boys made a�fire and decided to�rest and eat before returning home.
��It seems to�me that if that was here, the crows would fly overhead. A�whole day wasted�� and gazed at the burning fire, said Dima.�� It�s been so long�� it is unlikely to�find her alive.
��Yes, I�think so too.�� as the doom agreed Olga.�� If kidnapped for ransom, and filed a�claim, and it is�not.
Alex, before sitting in�silence and thinking about her, woke up from his thoughts:
��We She this morning was talking about it. If the girl was kidnapped for ransom, we could keep anyone in�the garage or at the cottage. But after such raised sensation could be frightened and get rid of�it. To�withdraw now they can�t, since the risk of�getting caught. Tomorrow let�s look in�the garage. The dog is�� can that smells. Need some thing. To�open the garages of�course we cannot�� it is the prerogative of�the police, but if the dog finds anything, we can call the police.
��Where do we get the thing? �asked Ksenia.
��I�saw in�the Internet phone page mothers Nadi Margarita Timofeeva and classmates. We can call her and ask Nadine thing!�� looking at sitting around the campfire and as if seeking their approval, said Maxim.
Sergei took out a�cigarette and lit�it:
��Why not? Who�s gonna call and negotiate?
��Let me,�� looking at the rest said Olga.�� Listen, and maybe invite the mother along on the search?
Because the opponents of�this idea was not, we decided to�call the girl�s mother if she will agree.
��Yur, what are you thinking about?�� turned to�him Dima.
Yura sat on his haunches before the fire and swaying back and forth:
��You can try, but the dog may not smell. If she was killed, we could bury the corpse and sprinkled with spices, or lime from the smell. There was a�case recently�� the stepfather killed her stepdaughter and buried it in�the barn, and the top was sprinkled with spices. The dog didn�t smell. It then split and he showed the place where he buried. I�think a�good look around the area their home?
All were silent. First decided to�break the silence Olga:
��Scary to�think about it, I�rid myself of�these thoughts, but according to�statistics, 90% of�the cases of�missing children blame relatives or friends. In�the city many suspect family say relatives acting very strange from the beginning. The mother is confused in�indications. She said that Nadia had with a�phone, said phone at home is broken. But where then she called Nadia if Nadia had no phone? The school she came in�about three hours, judging by�the interview the teacher. Where was she all this time if she has an alibi and the other relatives? And why Nadia went missing on the day of�arrival the mother watch? All very strange�
Xenia has her hands to�her face and shook his head:
��No, no, don�t want to�believe this! It just boggles the mind! I�don�t believe that the mother is capable�of!
Alex hugged his wife and pressed her to�him:
��Come on, this is just a�guess. Nothing is known. Everything can�be�
Chapter�5
The next morning, Olga called Margarita. She agreed to�give Nadia a�thing. Agreed to�meet in�the home of�Timofeev. About ten o�clock in�the morning yesterday the company arrived at the house at the address Voroshilovsky�91.
House Timofeev was a�simple one storey wooden house, painted in�blue and green paint. Fenced around by�a�fence of�metal sheets, which once was green, but now the paint is all chipped off and burnt in�the sun. In�the yard there were buildings: a�barn, a�bath with a�summer kitchen and a�wooden toilet. In�front of�the house was a�small garden in�which are planted flowers, Apple trees and raspberry bushes. Behind the house a�vegetable garden, where grew mostly potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Such homes make up the majority of�the Russian villages and settlements, as well as areas of�the private sector in�the cities.
Olga dialed Margaret. Two minutes from the gates of�the house came out 25�years old girl in�tight shapely figure in�jeans and blue t-shirt on the narrow straps, medium height with dark, bobbed under �Kare� hair and really bright makeup on his face and invited guests at the house.
��I�m Rita�s sister�� Sonia�� said the girl guests.
Inside the house were three small rooms and a�kitchen. Instead of�doors over the openings of�the curtains were nailed, on which hung a�crimson plush curtain. In�the kitchen stood a�small table covered with oilcloth with is of�vegetables and fruits. Around the table some old chairs, painted with paint. At the table sat three figures: a�woman of�thirty, very similar to�Sonia, only in�contrast with bleached hair and a�little older, and two men. The men were about the same age�� thirty years old or younger. One of�them with a�bright, slightly reddish hair and gray eyes. Was dressed in�athletic light gray pants and white t-shirt. He seemed fairly simple-as Ivan from a�fairy tale. Second, on the contrary, looked like a�lady�� with a�stylish haircut on her head, tight, beautiful figure white t-shirt and dark pants. Xenia noticed oil narrowed blue eyes on himself. Ksenia even thought that a�man tries to�seduce her, even though I�was next to�his wife. In�the middle of�the table on a�wooden stand stood a�large cast-iron frying pan with fried potatoes. Next metal bowl with a�salad of�cucumbers and tomatoes with onions, chunks of�bread, a�plate of�sliced cooked sausage and bacon, a�two-liter plastic bottle of�beer, and glasses with spoons and forks. The woman rose from the table and walked over to�the guests.
��Hello, it�s you, Margarita, Mama Nadi? several asked Olga approached the woman.
Olga was surprised that the Margarita was absolutely calm, no sign of�grief on the woman�s face was not. On the contrary, it was evident that Margaret cares for him mentioned that she was in�full makeup and with the hair on his head.
��Yes, I�am the mother of�Nadia. You asked for something, I�ll have a�look.�� Margaret replied, going to�one of�the rooms.
After a�while she came out and gave Olga a�baby pink blouse with rhinestones. Olga neatly folded baby thing and put it in�the pocket of�his windbreaker.
��Maybe you want to�come with�us on the search? We have room in�the car for three more.�� asked Sergey to�the inhabitants of�the house.
Margaret shrugged her shoulders and said to�red:
��Andrew! What will it�be?
��Go,�� agreed the�man.
Everyone, this is my husband Andrew, and it�s sister Sonia and her husband, Sasha, is pointing at them on the other said Margarita.
��Where you want to�go? asked Lovelace Sasha.
��Want to�check the garages in�the area of�sewage treatment facilities and in�other places. We have a�dog that can smell that thing now� Nadina replied Dmitry.
��I�can�t go�� I�have a�small child, now asleep. pointing towards one of�the rooms said Sonya.�� And you�go.
Margarita with her husband and Alexander decided to�go separately to�his car. Garage complex, where they were heading, was located two kilometers from the house Timofeev, near sewage treatment facilities. Decided to�walk around the whole area and thoroughly examine not only garages, but the areas around the garages. Dima took Rex�s leash and walked along the garages, stopping at each separately. Margarita and Olga were walking. Margarita knocked on the door and tried to�shout to�her daughter, hoping that she will hear it. The others went to�explore the territory nearby. The people were few�� a�couple of�car owners were each engaged in�their business. Someone repaired the car, and someone dried the potatoes, scattering on the bags. Garages were located in�several rows. At the end in�the Bush were 20�pieces of�old illegally-built metal garages, seemingly long abandoned. Around them lay a�bunch of�junk and old rusted parts from cars. Dmitry called brother:
��May try to�break the locks and inspect the garages, there�s no one there?
��What! See�� head Snitch!�� Sergei looked around grinning.
��Yes we are careful nobody will see, get the tool from the machine!
Brother after some hesitation, went to�the jeep, and ten minutes brought a�small suitcase with tools:
��If it�s on�you!
Dima a�bit of�hacking with the lock, opened�it.
��Stay here and keep watch. I�ll look in�the garage.
Dmitry took a�lantern and went inside with Rex. Margaret walked behind them.
��Come on, Rex, look!
Inside the garage was littered with piles of�junk: there were boards, old kitchen furniture, against the wall stood a�ratty old sofa, the whole corner was full of�old yellowed Newspapers and magazines alternated with plates. Dima shone the flashlights into every nook and ceiling:
��It is necessary to�examine the cellar.
Lifting the metal cover on the floor, Dima lit pit: down a�wooden staircase�led.
��Nadia! cried Margaret.�� Can you hear me? Are you here?
��I�ll go,�� said Dima and climbed down the stairs.
��What is it? do Xenia.
Not really, there�s no one, ' said Dmitry.
Coming out of�the garage and closed it behind him, began to�decide what to�do next. Dima looked at his companions and brother, who was on the lookout a�little to�the side and asked how strongly they�are:
��Well, will continue to�be open?
��Well we�re at it, let�s go to�the end!�� said Xenia.
So, one after another opened several garages, but the girls in�them turned out. Going into the garage next to�our search saw on the floor the mountain white�� it turned out to�be lime.
��Ksyusha, do you remember what Yuri was talking about lime?�� looking at Ksenia, Dima said.
��Yes��� nodded Xenia.
��We need to�rake this pile and see if there�s a�body.
Dima found among various junk a�shovel and began to�dig lime.
��What are you doing?! with horror looking at them in�turn, asked Margarita.�� Are you looking for a�corpse?
Dmitry and Xenia were looking at each other and lowered her eyes to�the floor:
��Look, your daughter�s been gone for so long, you really still hope to�find her alive?�� with some pity in�his voice, as to�terminally-ill person asked Xenia to�the girl�s mother.
I�m looking for the daughter live!�� almost shouted Margarita.
In�the garage was hard, awkward silence.
��Hey, guys! Policemen arrived! Quickly let�s go!�� looking in�the garage, in�a�whisper hissed Sergei.
Hastily closing his garage door Dima, and the girl walked away. Sergei walked over to�the guys and quietly said:
Someone called the police. We�re kind of�quiet, really saw? In�addition to�our no one knew�
In�a�minute to�the company of�two policemen. One of�them, who said:
��Hello! Broken? Here you are complaint was received. Called and said you go and the garages open?
��Comrade policeman, we�re not doing anything wrong, we�re looking for a�girl who got lost, Nadia Timofeev!�� tried to�appease the police Xenia. Is her mom! Ksenia waved his hand in�standing at a�distance Margarita.
��Received a�signal that you are open other people�s garages, insisted the policeman.
��It�s all true, we did not do anything illegal! Believe me! We just go and search the area around! We understand that you cannot open someone else�s property!�� tried to�convince Dima, her eyes wide and hanging over the COP that was almost a�head shorter than�him.
��So, let�s get outta here, that neither you, nor we had no problems�� decided to�handle this kind of�situation the policeman.
��Well! Well! We�re leaving anyway, don�t worry! Guys, let�s get in�the car!�� hurriedly waved his hands Dima, showing the cops that everything will be hunky-Dory.
��Come on, goodbye, goodbye policeman with the guys, so want to�find your daughter, ' he said to�Margaret.
��Thank�you�
On this day, the search had to�be suspended. The whole company went to�their cars. Before leaving, Margarita came to�the boys and said:
��I�m with you I�m not going to�go on a�quest. I�m looking for Nadia alive, and we will seek, in�their own way. But still, thank you for looking for my daughter.
��I�understand you, I�wish you find a�Barely alive, ' said Olga finally.
We returned home in�silence. Ksenia looked in�the car window and thought about what happened today:
��I�probably would too until the last hoped for a�miracle. She just doesn�t want to�believe that something irreparable had just occurred.
