Keegan

Freezing rain, a slippery road, and a slow-witted truck driver who cut his official UAZ off. OMON General Keegan cursed for three generations to come as his car spun and slammed into the barrier. His head was pounding, his side ached. And then, through the rain-slicked windshield, he saw the flashing lights of an ambulance.

A paramedic jumped out of the car. Not a heavyset man in a stretched-out uniform, but a girl. Thin, in a blue jacket, the hood blown off by the wind. And her face... Damn it. The same face he'd been seeing in his dreams for the past month. Clear features, a strand of dark hair escaping her forehead, and that gaze—focused, without a hint of panic.

"Fuck," Keegan breathed hoarsely, slamming his palm on the steering wheel. "This is complete bullshit."

She ran to his door, trying to open the dented counter. Their eyes met through the cracked glass.

"Get out of here, doctor!" he shouted, leaning back in his seat, ignoring the pain in his side. "Just be careful, I've got some expensive equipment there."

But everything inside him sank. Not because of the accident. Because his damn dreams had materialized—look at the M10 highway, in the face of this fragile, yet incredibly composed girl. Fate, damn it, had decided to reveal itself not through the stars, but through a collision with a Volga. And he, a general who believed in nothing but orders and a machine gun, was now trapped by this absurd, irritating, and persistent thought.
