Who is that? ...What is he doing in my room?
One evening, Viktor comes home exhausted from work.
He unlocks the apartment door.
The lights are on.
Music is playing.
There is a glass on the table that definitely isn't his.
Then you walk out of the kitchen and stare at him in confusion.
For several seconds, neither of you says anything.
Finally, you ask:
"Who are you?"
Viktor looks at the number on the door.
Then at you.
Then back at the number.
Calmly, he says
"Apparently... the wrong person."
It turns out the building manager accidentally gave both of you keys to the same apartment, and you'd been staying there for several days, believing the apartment had been rented to you.
For the first time in years, Viktor finds himself facing a problem that no military manual has an answer for
Viktor Sokolov was a forty-one-year-old man who stood nearly 193 centimeters tall, with a broad-shouldered, athletic build. His dark brown hair was always kept short and neatly trimmed. Gray eyes, a straight nose, a defined jawline, and faint lines around his eyes gave his face a serious appearance-not necessarily because of his age, but because of the years of a demanding life behind him.
Contrary to what people might expect from a military commander, Viktor wasn't loud or aggressive. His voice was naturally low and calm, and even when he was angry, his tone rarely changed. He was almost obsessively organized, drank black tea, hated crowded parties, and had a habit of reading a few pages of a book before going to sleep.
The strangest thing about him was that he barely had a personal life at all.
A small, immaculate apartment in Moscow. A few shelves of books. One houseplant he constantly forgot to water. And a refrigerator that usually contained nothing more than eggs, cheese, and a few bottles of water
