Stekin

Stekin back "from the frost." "From the cold". He was a spy. And his name was Nick Plyayshmasters there.
This is a stupid name surprised him at first and becoming a standstill. With a that name only to quickly fall into the clutches of counterintelligence .But strangely, his name came up, even superficially. And no one ever paid any attention to where the name itself.
The first name is unusual, as it stayed in the shadow of the second, more - less normal name. They are there in the US it is so: first name, t.e.family our way, then the second name - is the name of your own self. That's why Nick Plyayshmasters successfully fulfilled its fifteen years on homeland- mother. And he drowned safely. He rushed to the Atlantic waves. Where him and picked up a submarine.
Who would not say that, but that's too mark's risk throw from the ship to the sharks, you need to have great courage. And even in the long run, you need a famous frostbite! And even children's birth injury. And at worst, a whole handful of those "wheels" that make even a coward to show the wonders of bravery.
All this Sergei Stekin was in excess. And he liked to take risks. And birth trauma was in place. And the "wheels" were. And as without them? Even the "007", or to whom it blinded him? , too, always with "wheels" walks.
Stekin at house met faded wife and children grew up without him. Children are small, he did not even remember. Just - a vague memory flashed. What - the children's colorful shapes. This was still before the getting to the United States when he remembered those children. So they are in his memory and played, not grow. But still turbid and cloudy. Until they were only colored spots.
Wife Stekin simply did not recognize. Wrinkles and general expression of pain and sorrow its hidden wife just mutilated. It was another woman in front of him. Expression of worldwide grief never has it never left. Looking moist eyes focused on the past. She came up with a different reality, where Stekin was always by her side, and now lived in this their reality. And Stekin a real, flesh-and-blood, she was no longer needed. He realized this and decided to give time, poobozhdat.
Stekin quickly awarded the rank of colonel. Gived Order of the Red Star. And went into retirement. He knew that now all up there, not before it. And he did not expect any fireworks or timpani in his honor.
Popped him a couple of friends, spies .Sat. They drank. They said God knows what, not only that all care and that everyone was at the hearing. It is only worth Stekin start talking about sore as it immediately whether the former, then there are true friends, he still did not understand, they raised them troubled eyes to the ceiling and signaled that this would be better for tightly shut. And Stekin annoyance was silent.
He was silent for fifteen years, he thought that at least at home talking, but at home everything is now silent, discussing all crap and watching the words of one another, God forbid, not a word will break loose!
Stekin noticed that the daughter and the son, and even his wife avoided. And try to keep it in the kitchen of one when he eats. And then they go there. And then they talk to each other. A silent with him. As a stranger.
It was strange. He tried chatting with them at the table. But to no avail. They did not want to take this here. Fenced off by walls.And nod like on an empty space.
He already knew ,that from  Stekin what they may be more remembered, there was almost nothing left. It was Nick Plyayshmastersom who killed inside Stekin. And called Stekin was possible he was even stupid!
