He just finished his drink and was preparing to leave the café when his luck ran out. A warning bell rang, his body tensed. Turning back to the bar, he began turning his empty glass around between his hands, waiting, watching the drama unfold. The mirror over the bar became his eyes as he watched impending disaster develop. Six soviet Special Forces Policemen sauntered into the café stopping for a moment to survey the scene. Swiftly, they spread out, shoving anyone in their way into nearby tables and chairs and shouting loudly for everyone to have their identification papers ready for inspection.
