Jewish happiness in Israel. Mikhail Rosen

It is better to live in a good hotel. They will not look for me there.»

      – You do not know? Do the hotels carefully check the documents? – Olga asked in surprise. Said answered quickly, – We will in hotel without problems, if you show your police ID!

      Despite the fog in her head, Olga had an alarming thought: «How does he know that I have a police certificate? I never told him about it!» Olga had the police certificate. She was the sergeant of the reserve police. Olga in the morning, tried to remember when Said left. Olga seemed that he left without his locksmith suitcase.

      «Said probably forgot the suitcase» – she thought. Olga looked around. The suitcase was nowhere to be found.

      Olga was struck by the fact that the door that led from the kitchen to the pantry was not locked. Olga always locked this door. From this pantry can easily get straight to the street. The old things of the Boris family lay in the pantry.

      The clock was shown to five minutes to six. The bus will not wait. At work, she forgot about the door and suitcase.

      They rented a room in the «Panorama» Hotel in a few days.

      The room was «super-luxury». The room had soft carpets, wide sofas, on the walls of a picture in a gilded framework, air-conditioned air and a huge refrigerator full of various drinks. This room was worth more than a hundred dollars a day. Said, put in Olga’s the police certificate of a pack of green banknote.

      Olga liked most of all the bathroom and white whirlpool. The walls and ceiling of the bathroom consisted of illuminated mirrors. In these mirrors, the naked bodies of the bathing could be seen in all directions. The swarthy, muscular body of Said was reflected in mirrors in all male beauty.

      They, after bathing, wearing soft terry dressing gowns on bare bodies, approached a huge window that occupied almost the entire wall of the bedroom.

      Before them, from the height of the fifteenth floor, the panorama of the evening Tel Aviv flooded with electric light opened. The colorful panorama stretched from the old lighthouse to the high-altitude pipes of the Reading power station. A fiery river of thousands of automobile headlights flowed along the streets along skyscrapers and squares.
