Bloody Fee by Sasha Karpinskaya

Patrick slid under the blanket with felling of grate finish.
“Last jerk”, he thought before fell asleep. It was the last day of their work on the project of robo-dog for Tokyo-tech.. Tomorrow they will meet with sponsors and representatives from Tokyo to present them “IWoof” and the biggest reward for this work will be a long-expected holiday… And money, of course, - 500,000$. Henry, Patrick’s co-worker, was looking forward this day too. His wife Monika had already decided where to spend at least a half of the Henry’s fee. She remembers how difficult it was to work with Patrick for her husband, so at least twice a day reminds him “Your part is too small for all that shit you endured these two years!”. She was small and tiny woman and not a secret why did she chose so big, strong, broad-shouldered and 2 meters high Henry. Patrick always said they are like Gandalf and Bilbo and every time Monika hears it she started to squeal and peeve and wave her sewing scissors in the air. “You have to ask your boss for promotion:, once said Monika, “Henry I’m not joking! This damn Patrick will never leave you alone and you will work with this Devil FOR EVER! I want you to come out the partnership with him. Please, it can’t last forever. Or maybe you forgot how he woke you up at 3 a.m. just to show new collar for that dog? It was just grey! Grey collar as well as previous grey! Or I must remind you his frequent depression, hysteria and heavy drinking? You told it was too hard to finish this project in time because of him procrastination and infantilism.”
“Monika, calm down and shut up. I don’t want to hear it again. He is not a davil he just a moron.
And don’t worry, it will over soon”
“Oh yeah”, squealing she, “you bet!”
“I swear you. It will be the last time.”
“We’ll se… But if you won’t do anything I’ll call this… Patrick by myself!”
