I haven't seen you for a long time," quietly replied Tchelkache, extending his hand. "I could get along without ever seeing you! Go about your business!" However, Semenitch shook the hand that was extended to him. "You're just the one I want to see," pursued Tchelkache, without loosening the hold of his hooked fingers on Semenitch's hand, and shaking it familiarly. "Have you seen Michka?"
Tchelkache swore inwardly at the thought that for want of Michka he might perhaps fail in his enterprise. What was the night going to be? He questioned the sky and inspected the street. Six steps away, was a boy squatting in the road near the sidewalk, his back against a post; he was dressed in blue blouse and trousers, tan shoes, and a russet cap.
"Have they inquired for me to help them in their search?" Tchelkache gazed at the warehouses with a meaning smile. "Go to the devil!" The other turned on his heel. "Hey! Wait! Who has fixed you up in that fashion? Your face is all bruised Have you seen Michka around here?" "I haven't seen him for a long time!" cried the other, rejoining the 'longshoremen.
He was sure that neither the one nor the other would fail him; screwing up his eyes, he thought of the next day's merry-making when, his work accomplished, he should have a roll of bills in his pocket. Then his thoughts reverted to his friend Michka, who would have been of so much use to him that night, if he had not broken his leg.
"What Michka? I don't know any Michka! Get along with you, friend, or the inspector'll see you; he " "The red-haired fellow who used to work with me on board the 'Kostroma," continued Tchelkache, unmoved. "Who stole with you would be nearer the truth! Your Michka has been sent to the hospital: his leg was crushed under a bar of iron.
Go on, friend, take my advice or else I shall have to beat you." "Ah! And you were saying: I don't know Michka! You see that you do know him. What's put you out, Semenitch?" "Enough, Grichka, say no more and off with you " The officer was getting angry and, darting apprehensive glances on either side, tried to free his hand from the firm grasp of Tchelkache.
