A Tale Of Three Worlds-Part 4

Strassky's gangland style murder caused the residents of the neighbourhood where the murder occured to file a report with the police.Due to Stratov's influence in the police department,the case was dismissed without further investigations.A week a later,Denisov was at his favourite cafe in downtown St.Petersburg when the girl who witnessed Strassky's murder passed by.When she saw Denisov,she increased the pace of her strides.This prompted Denisov to tail her until the junction.When she realised she was being followed,she turned and scolded Denisov.





Denisov was stunned and she just crossed the busy street.Since that day,Denisov became a changed person.He would not accompany his young band of thugs anymore for a hit.He will only act upon the orders of Stratov.He would spend his

time at the bar of his childhood friend,Ivan.Ivan dissapproves of Denisov's career as a hitman.Ivan had advised Denisov not to be in Stratov's gang before this but he did not care about it.One day,Denisov approached the girl at a subway station and talked to her.At first she was scared but when she knew Denisov meant no harm,she sat beside him and talked to him.



From that conversation,Denisov knew that her name was Jelena.She is a student

at a local college and her father is in the Obshina,the Chechen mafia.She told Denisov the reason behind her hatred feeling on gangsters.It is because of her father,who does not care about the family and commits himself to the mafia.After an hour's chat,Jelena then boarded the train and left.Later that day,

Denisov received a call from Leonid,an aide of Stratov.Leonid informed him that he is needed to finish off an Obshina hitman.Halfheartedly,Denisov agreed.



The Obshina hitman is none other Jelena's father.He felt bad.He felt that he could not execute Jelena's father.There is something that prevents him from doing so.Later,he assigned the task to his trusted protege,Igor.Denisov stayed in the car while Igor went into the restaurant where Jelena's father,Marcin was having his meal.A few minutes later,people started running helter-skelter around the area.



Then,Marcin came out of the restaurant and walked away.Seeing this,Denisov sensed something was wrong.He entered the restaurant and saw Igor slumped dead on the floor.His hesitation to finish the hit cost the life of a youngster.Later

when Stratov got to know about this,he was furious that a hitman like Denisov could spoil the whole plan.The next day,he sat beside his window and recalled the event happened the night before.Then,he realised it is his love on Jelena which prevented him from executing her father.Denisov caught up with Jelena later and confessed his love to her.At first,she declined but when Denisov told her about the previous night's incident,she became teary.Then,she hugged Denisov and kissed him.

Jelena realised that Denisov's love for her is true.After that,both of them took a stroll at the central park.As they were walking,a group of gunmen opened fire from multiple directions.The couple ran and took cover behind a rock structure.
Denisov then sprung out and opened fire,killing all the gunmen instantly.Such prowess of Denisov made him the feared hitman in St.Petersburg.The shell-shocked Jelena was crying uncontrollably.

She then said she does not want to lose one of her loved ones again to the cruel death in the underworld.She said that her brother-in-law was an ex-KGB man who lost his life fighting against the Izmailovskaya.Denisov was so touched.He then promised to Jelena that he willl leave the underworld for good once and for all.A week later,he met Stratov and told him that he is leaving the mafia because he had witnessed too much murders and he wanted to start a new life afresh in Moscow.

Reluctantly,Stratov agreed to let him go.Stratov then got to know that Denisov is in love with Marcin's daughter and she is the one behind his sudden change in personality.Denisov packed his bags and boarded a taxi to the railway station.He was accompanied by Jelena,who is abandoning her studies to live with Denisov.When they reached the railway station,a group of men approached Denisov and shot him multiple times at point-blank range.

Denisov fell dead.Jelena screamed uncontrollably while holding the motionless body of Denisov in her hands.The men were from the Obshina.They were tipped off by Stratov to kill Denisov so that he will not be blamed on the murder.Life in the underworld is cruel.You will not know who is your friend and who is your enemy.

The troops then signalled for reinforcements and within moment NATO trucks and ambulances arrived at the village.The troops then transported the displaced village folks to the NATO refugee shelter near their base.While transporting the villagers,Capt.Ellington came across a young,pretty girl who is wheelchair bound.Capt.Ellington helped the girl to get on the truck.From other villagers,Capt.Ellington got to know that the girl suffers from muscular dystrophy.Capt.Ellington felt sorry for the girl.Since then,he would visit the girl daily at the refugee camp.The girl would not speak to Capt.Ellington but like what people say,time heals everything.

Days later,she began to speak to Capt.Ellington.Since then,they will spend some time talking in the morning before Capt.Ellington leaves for his patrolling duties.The girl's name was Yana.She has been suffering from muscular dystrophy since she was a kid.Capt.Ellington then asked a favour from a Red Cross doctor, Dr.Lars Pfertzel to treat Yana.Dr.Lars paid Yana a visit on a Thursday evening and examined her.After some tests,he told Capt.Ellington that Yana is in the critical stage of the disease and she will not live beyond three months.Dr.Lars said this is because
she was deprived of proper treatment when she was young which would have delayed the spread of the disease.Capt.Ellington made a vow.He vowed that he will keep Yana happy during the last days of her life.
