Half an hour later Simon Yakovlevich and the smooth-faced sub-lieutenant were standing on the platform of the car and smoking. "Do you often visit K , mister sub-lieutenant?" asked Horizon. "Only for the first time just imagine! Our regiment is stationed at Chernobob. I was born in Moscow, myself." "AI, AI, AI! How'd you come to get into such a faraway place?"
