Did you do that? Bibi asked naively, looking at the perfect geometric lines of the ship.
Yeah, – smiled Lupo, – and I drew the sky over our heads.
Emotion and delight were reflected on Lupo's face, and he hurried to open the spaceship. Yes, he was still surprised at the girl's naivety and how cute they could sometimes say funny things. Halfway to the spaceship, Lupo decided to fill the glasses with a sizzling drink.
"To new, wonderful achievements, – Lupo announced laughingly, raising his glass above his head. Two men in formal suits came out to block the path of the newly married couple. Both of them were about the same height and build. The clothes also had the same style and size; only the face of one of them looked more flattened. "Mr. Devega," the flat-faced man began, raising a broad, oily hand, "I'm Agent Dext. Lupo had been expecting something like this for a long time, and therefore, without hesitation, he extended his hand in response, putting off the drink for the time being. Actually, he even hoped that they would find him and make an interesting offer. A little embarrassed, Bibiena hid behind her husband's back.
"So," Agent Dext continued, "we're here to make you an interesting offer.
"Maybe we should have sold it to the Russians," Lupo suddenly thought, "they probably would have given a lot more money for the spaceship."
Don't worry about the money; the flat-faced agent continued faster, and we will pay you as much as you need.
And you are smart guys—smiling, Lupo tilted his head forward in agreement—how many pieces should I fall off? The broad-shouldered agents exchanged glances, awkwardly turning their thick necks.
"Okay, Lupo interrupted them from their thoughts—as I understand it, you need a ship. Agent Dext blinked rapidly and then nodded back.
Then drink to the health of the bride and groom. Holding out the glasses, Lupo exclaimed joyfully, We have a wedding today. Without consulting each other, the agents sent a sizzling drink into their mouths in one motion.
"Your water is strange," Agent Dext said sheepishly, rubbing his long, gray tongue with the palm of his hand. The skin on his temples suddenly swelled unevenly, sagging carelessly on his cheeks. The second agent covered his mouth, hiccupping frequently and rubbing his eyes. A minute later, large, wrinkled pieces of faded skin flew away from them, revealing a gray, slimy body underneath. They were shaking violently, and they couldn't control their movements.
