The new century, together with the millennium, confidently came into its own, Katya Malysheva successfully carried out business in her office of the indicated name. Her old friend Valentin sometimes helped her, but not often; he had enough to do at the Argus detective agency. Nevertheless, one summer morning Valentin asked Katya for help, and said that without them - Katya and help, he was destined to disappear forever, or rather, to go around the world with a wolf ticket, the circumstances were so unfortunate. Katya assessed the circumstances, they turned out to be terrifying, but old friendship outweighed, and Katya came to the rescue, despite warnings from all sides that she had better not do this. In the process, she had to write a detective script as an accessible explanation; Valya’s friend’s problems did not fit into other forms, but the titanic work did not become the end of the case, but only a prologue to further developments. They followed at a breakneck pace and led to unexpected results. It cannot be said that Katya was very happy, but she had no one to complain about.
