Irene met Herbert there. There were an unrest/riot in a center of city.28Please respect copyright.PENANAIShfb06SiP
From the airport they drove by car to the city, Irene was driving.28Please respect copyright.PENANAufYs1g1jNq

"Can I have some accommodation?" Herbert asked.28Please respect copyright.PENANAxtbGvMtAcE
"Don't worry, Maria-Cecilia runs a small hotel, not far from the center. There we can discuss our affairs," Irene answered.28Please respect copyright.PENANAFvQ9D3eOs6

They rode on in silence, Herbert stealing a glance at her profile. Then he looked at her hand on the gear stick.28Please respect copyright.PENANALDTHVOlL0K
The rest of the way he looked at the city, the city lived an ordinary life, and you can't say that there are riots in the city center.28Please respect copyright.PENANAaqGmeymAjq

Irene turned into a narrow street, and they arrived at a two-story hotel. There was nowhere to see the entrance to the parking, but Irena drove into the arch and after several masterful turns drove onto the iron platform and the platform lowered the car into a small underground parking.28Please respect copyright.PENANAqrrV5LmGBK

They climbed up the narrow stairs directly to the reception hall. There was no one at the reception. But when Irene and Herbert approached the counter, a woman of 35-37 years old came out to them.
"Hello MC, the presidential suite, please," Irene said with a smile, nodding at Herbert.28Please respect copyright.PENANAIyNnZuBbm2
MC handed Herbert the keys without looking at his ID, which he tried to show her.28Please respect copyright.PENANAdsOaMBdi6k
"So young, but already with ID," she grinned friendly.
Irene escorted Herbert to a room on the second floor.28Please respect copyright.PENANA2vO3ythNYQ
"Get some rest, go downstairs to the cafe in the evening, Maria-Cecilia and I will be there," she told to him.

Herbert took a shower and lay down to rest. TV sparingly covered the events. Rioting townspeople burned bonfires in the square. The President of the Republic offered the heads of the rebels some unimportant positions in the government. It was visible insincerity. For the rebel leaders that proposals were frankly off topic. The meeting was clearly held for show that the parties are striving for peace. Everyone spokes inarticulate and sadly. Herbert fell asleep to the murmur of the TV.28Please respect copyright.PENANAldfzkCiYRl

In the evening Herbert went down to the cafe. Maria-Cecilia was serving a hotel guest.28Please respect copyright.PENANAfWA5L8eZlA
"And where is Irene?" Herbert asked her.28Please respect copyright.PENANAkV27td6oIR
"Oh, she's already gone home," Maria-Cecilia replied and set the supper in front of him.28Please respect copyright.PENANAeloXHKWOmd
"I see your dwellers are very angry, are they going to burn witches?"28Please respect copyright.PENANAjxPz7nWO44
"We'll see, but this won't end well."
