Sashi was remembering recent events.
The day Dmitriy Volkov was captured — a key figure in the Mafia. One of those whose name was whispered even in the darkest corners of the city.
She had received a call:
"Lady Sashi. Dmitriy Volkov has been apprehended and taken to the hospital. He's severely wounded — his thigh is pierced, and his arm has been severed. It's confirmed: he is a demon."
"How long will his regeneration take?"
"Blood cell analysis revealed the subject is a descendant of Astaroth's bloodline."
Sashi clenched the phone. Her fingers turned white.
"We estimate full regeneration in two days."
That was when the interrogation was scheduled.
Over the next few days, his body recovered. Every stage of regeneration was recorded on camera: stitched tissues, demonic veins pulsing, slowly regrowing flesh. On the third day, he regained consciousness.
The next morning, he was taken to the interrogation room.
