حمله موشکی روسیه /  Russian missile attack

Всем привет! В прошлом выпуске мы говорили о суевериях и традициях, о том, что делают русские перед тем, как выйти из дома. Сегодня вы узнаете продолжение истории о детективе Иване и преступнике Саше, и мы с вами поговорим о деминутивах в русском языке.
Иван и Саша стояли вместе в подъезде. Только сейчас Саша заметил, что всё это время рядом с ним находился незнакомый человек.
- Ты кто ещё такой? – злобно посмотрел на детектива Саша. Вдруг у него зазвонил телефон. – Минуточку! – сказал парень и ответил на звонок.
Детектив услышал женский голос в трубке:
- Солнышко моё, мой сладенький. Я жду тебя уже два часа, ты где?
- Бегу, моя конфетка, бегу.
- Паспорта взял?
- Да, они у меня. Вечером самолёт. Поедем заграницу – и все проблемки решатся.
- Проблемки… Да у тебя не проблемки, а огромные проблемы! Мне из полиции сегодня 4 раза звонили, тебя искали.
- Знаю, знаю, котёночек. Не волнуйся, собирай вещички пока, скоро перезвоню. Целую тебя, зайка.
- И я тебя, зайчик. Пока.
Саша положил телефон обратно в карман.
- Дааа уж, миленький разговорчик, - засмеялся детектив.
Тут Саша понял, что этот незнакомый мужчина был у него в квартире, видел его ненастоящий паспорт и полностью слышал разговор про поездку заграницу. Ему стало страшно.
- Так Вы расскажете, кто Вы?
А что было дальше, вы узнаете в следующем выпуске подкаста! Подписывайтесь, чтобы не пропустить!
