From Liadov's tone, something significant had been said. Ocelot's response corroborated the hypothesis.
A shiver ran down the back of Rakitin's mind at the prospect of reporting to the Colonel.
He ran the past minute of background conversation through his mind and was disappointed to detect little of consequences, but for the possible identification. Whatever a 'shagohod' was, unless it could kill a man without a mark and detatch his limbs, Rakitin didn't see how it was relevant.
