- Part Two -
We arrived at the warehouse, Vova honked, the warehouse doors opened. We went in. The guys were waiting for us. We got out of the car, took the money and headed to the office where Cercel was.
Meanwhile, the guys quickly changed the fake license plates with Chisinau numbers.
We went into Cercel's office. I gave him money, Cercel happily and excitedly put it on the table.
He asked me to wait outside. He wants to talk to Vova and then he will talk to me.
I go out, leaving them to talk. While they were talking, I went out to walk around the warehouse. I wanted to meet the guys in the gang. When I first entered the warehouse, I didn't pay attention to the details, because it took a long time to get into the warehouse.
But now that I had time, I could freely look around. I met those present in the warehouse. No one bothered me. The warehouse is large, inside it was cargo, cardboard boxes and about 3 trucks. People who were packing something in boxes. I didn't really see very well what they were putting in.
The gaze of those present was fixed on me. They looked at me with skepticism. But I didn't really pay them any attention. I walked around like I was at home, I didn't have any problem with that.
One of the guys called me: Bro, you're called by Vova and Cercel!! Vova comes out to meet me, tells me to come into the office, that Cercel is waiting for me.
I enter Cercel's office, Cercel was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey like all self-respecting people.
Cercel:- Take a seat! Because I'm going to tell you something important. My congratulations!! You did a good job!! I was impressed when you saved Vova. Actually, what happened to Vova wasn't planned to test you. But look, you proved yourself worthy of joining our gang.
What did you say your name was?
- My name is Bobo!!
- Ah!! Yes. Bobo, in order to join the gang, you have to respect some very important conditions. Everyone who joins here respects them until death.
You are loyal to the gang. You can't leave when you feel like it, you only get out of here in a coffin. It will be difficult for you to start a family. But if you do, it's at your own risk. You joined the gang, you won't get out of here.
Friendship in the gang is very important. That's what I saw when you saved Vova from death. Through this initiation you have gained courage, manhood and friendship, these are principles that we take into consideration. We need people with character, who will not stand aside.
I wanted to test you, but at the request of Vova, who asked me to join our gang, because you are the boy we need, and he laid down his life for you. So thank him for joining our gang.
I have another job for you, but you still have a very tough test to pass, if you pass it, you have my approval.
Now you will hear what I have to say, follow me. We leave Cercel's office. I follow Cercel, Vova follows us.
We go to the people who were in the warehouse. The people were working. When they see him, they stop working.
Cercel calls them to come to him. He approached him, to listen to what he had to say.
Cercel: - Listen, I have something to tell you! Cercel begins to give his speech.
- By tonight, the goods should be packed and loaded into the cars. We are leaving at night!! The people retired to work, there were 10 people left with Cercel, including me. Cercel gave the order that by 9:00 PM, the truck should be loaded so that it could set off.
I was waiting to be informed about our plan. I had understood that something serious was waiting for us, but I didn't know. I didn't understand what?
We gathered around the table. There was a map of our route that we would take, with the 2 large cars. Everything is planned. We were left to execute it as per the book.
Cercel: - Everything is ready, the papers and documents so that there are no problems. I spoke with the people from the Romanian and Moldovan customs. You won't have any problems.
Let's get to work!! What more can I tell you. Ah! Yes, we're leaving at 1:00 am, don't be late!
The cargo must be in Bulgaria in 2 days, that's where we've arranged to unload the goods. So we're leaving at night. The roads are clear, without police. Let no one get in our way and let's go unnoticed. No one should suspect us.
You two (Bobo and Vova), will go ahead of the truck, check if the road is clear and without obstacles. Let there be silence.
Dodo and Dumba and Gogo and Bubu, will go with their cars behind, you will keep the back of the trucks.
- Do you understand?
Those present in the gang nodded in the affirmative.
We, those present here, nodded in approval.
Dodo and Dumbea, Gogo and Bubu, will accompany the first truck to Bulgaria and return, and Bobo and Vova will leave with the other truck to Romania. Alyosha and Grisha will follow. Then you will return.
Everything is arranged at customs, the important thing is to pass quickly and without problems.
Don't stop anywhere, except when you go to the toilet and to eat, to avoid any obstacles, keep going go ahead.
Ah!! Yes, take your weapons with you. Now that I've told you part of the plan. Let's have some fun, the girls and the drinks aren't waiting.
Vova gives me instructions on what to do. I tell him I have to go home to change.
I was thinking about my family who are worried about me. I need to reassure them so they don't have to worry.
- Yes, you're right. Go home. He gives me a phone call so they can find me faster and the car keys so I can get out faster.
I greet those present, tell them that we'll see each other soon!!! I take the keys and the phone from Vova. I leave the warehouse. I walk quickly towards Vova's black BMW. I open the door, get in the car. I start the car, press the accelerator, and head home.
I get home by stealthy routes so as not to arouse suspicion and go unnoticed. When I see a police patrol, I pretend to be a driver who respects traffic rules, so as not to be stopped.
I get to the apartment building, park it, lock it and head towards the entrance of the apartment building. I go upstairs, unlock the door and enter the house. My parents were at home, my sister was too. I greet all the family members.
My parents ask me where I am. I called you so many times on your mobile, why do you keep your mobile if you don't answer?, my mother scolds me.
- Excuse me, mother, I honestly forgot it at home. I came home, to change, I took it out of my pocket, I left it on the bed. It probably stayed there.
- Where are you going? Because your mother is worried about you. What does this mean, what responsibility do you have, if you don't think about your mother?
- I want to give you some good news. Today I got a job as a driver on Tir. Today I'm leaving for the road. I'll be gone for 2 or 3 days, I'm going to transport goods.
I came to change, get my documents, eat and leave. The parents' faces showed great joy. That their son had come to his senses and started working.
I go to my room, undress. I put them in a bag, so I can get rid of them later. To erase any trace.
My mother calls me from the kitchen: Ghena (Bobo) come to dinner? The food is ready.
- I'm coming to dinner, mother!!!
I look in the room for a backpack to put my clothes in, towels, everything I need for the road. They have the towel, I go to the bathroom. I was thinking about the lie I told my parents. I've never lied, but now I have to lie, it's necessary, for the safety of my families and mine.
They have to keep it to themselves and refer to the clothes I'm wearing, they'll definitely ask me. They don't need to know anything about the gang I joined.
Because the police already found out about the theft. My family has definitely seen the news, and if they recognize me from the clothes I wore today.
If I figure it out, I'll put it on. They have to leave the country, so that things calm down here, so that they don't raise suspicions.
I dry myself off, shave my head, brush my teeth. I gather all my hygiene items, go out to put them in my backpack. I dress in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tank top. I leave my room in order, they have my documents and I go to eat. I'm hungry.
In the living room, my sister is watching the ProTv news on TV. It's 8:00 p.m. I heard from the kitchen that a bank in Botanica had been robbed. The video camera had recorded everything, but the robbers' faces were covered with black balaclavas. They hadn't left any clues. The police are investigating the scene. No suspects have been found yet. No details have been given, so as not to hinder the investigation. The perpetrators are unknown.
My sister in the room calls out to me: Hey Ghena, look at those jeans and a tank top, like yours. Could it be you? Vera is suspicious of something.
- Come on, Vera, do you know how many people wear jeans and tank tops like that.
My father approves of me from the kitchen, saying he agrees with me.
There are many young people who wear jeans.
Dear mother, tell her everything, what company you work for, what salary you will have, and where you are going, when you return? my mother asks me.
Before answering my mother, I thought carefully about what to answer so that she would not fall under suspicion. She has to believe the lie, but before I can put it together well, I have to believe it too.
I didn't really want them to question me. I don't really get along well with my parents, because they were too authoritarian and asked too many questions.
I always tried to keep them at a distance, all the time. I didn't want them to interfere in my life. After I joined the gang, I would earn a large sum of money, I might get a studio apartment, live by myself. I wanted to have my own life.
I had given them false information, my entire salary. I told them lies, to reassure them, but at the same time, to lie to them, so that they wouldn't know everything I was doing.
I was eating, quickly so that I wouldn't be late, to meet these guys at the club, that's how we agreed. I had made myself a coffee to give me energy and stay awake all night to do my job.
I had gone out to the balcony to smoke a cigarette and drink my coffee. My cell phone had rang, it was Vova.
I answered him: - Come on Bro, are you ready?
- Yes, I'm ready!! I was waiting for your call!!
- Be at the warehouse in half an hour, because from there we go straight to the Club!
You understand!!
- Yes, I understand!! I'm going to start right away!!
I hang up the phone. I drink my coffee quickly, take a few drags on my cigarette, put it out and throw it over the balcony railing. I go into the kitchen, head to the sink, to put the mug down.
I tell my folks that I have to leave. I put on the sneakers I wore today, I remembered that I didn't take my bag from the room. I quickly go back for it, they have my backpack on the bed and my bag. I leave the room. I say goodbye to my folks.
I leave the house, go down the stairs, head to the car. I open the door, go down the stairs, and get out. I head to the car, open the door, close it behind me. I start the engine, press the accelerator and go. I head to the warehouse, where the guys were waiting for me.
I follow the same route I came. The guys were waiting for me. The trucks were ready loaded, waiting to hit the road.
I arrive, I enter the warehouse. One of the truck drivers announces that the guys are waiting for you!!
I head there. They all gathered, they were waiting for me.
The guys were playing cards. One of them, he tells me, I'm expected in the boss's office.
I arrive at the door. I knock on the door
- Who?
- It's me, Bobo!! Come in!!
- Oh!! You're here!! We're waiting for you to talk about our plan. Everything we talked about before, remains standing. If anything changes, I'll announce it!! Now let's go to the club, I feel like drinking and distinguishing myself with 2 chicks. I'm thirsty for vodka. From there we go to work.
Cercel and I leave the office, the guys drop their books, we head towards the exit from the warehouse, let's not get in the car. We get in the car, it was 11:00 PM. Vova's car follows Cercel's. Cercel's car went ahead, we followed his. I didn't know which club we were going to. Because I didn't know which club the guys were having fun at. I heard from Vova that they change clubs.
I asked Vova to tell me more about the Gang and what we have to do. But Vova, he smiles ironically under his mustache.
He tells me: - You've barely joined the team and you already want to know a lot. Take your time, don't rush, because you might trip and fall. Everything in its time, hold on, he answers me very seriously.
Now let's have some fun and not talk about business, when people like us are taking the lead, because Cercel doesn't like it.
To be continued!!
