Nadejda wanted to talk to Rusim so Zdravko put her on speaker.
\n\u201cSo you\u2019re the other guy,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cYou know I\u2019m the other guy,\u201d said Rusim.
\n\u201cHow\u2019s it going?\u201d
\n\u201cI’m driving home. What you up to?\u201d
\n\u201cNothing much. Cooking dinner.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s for dinner?\u201d
\n\u201cCouscous.\u201d
\n\u201cCouscous what?\u201d
\n\u201cLamb.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd how do you do that?\u201d
\n\u201cOne small brown onion chopped. I read it off the page.\u201d
\n\u201cSimple.\u201d
\n\u201cThat\u2019s just the beginning. After that is one garlic clove halved.\u201d
\nRusim got a call of his own. \u201cPut her off speaker a minute,\u201d he said pulling up outside some house in the middle of nowhere.
\n\u201cHey,\u201d said Zdravko putting the phone back to his ear.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s you,\u201d said Nadejda.
\n\u201cRusim got a call. I\u2019ll ring you back,\u201d said Zdravko and hung up.
\nRusim muffled his phone against his shirt. \u201cGomenko wants to know where we\u2019re at.\u201d
\n\u201cTell Gomenko we got a lead. Super yacht. Balkus. So far, all we have is a name. We\u2019ll know more tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
