A white convertible drove slowly past black cars. A graceful woman sat behind the wheel of a white car, she imperceptibly looked at the men sitting in black cars, hoping to meet her idol. Black and white leather jacket underlined its ambiguity. Black and white bag underlined jacket. The white part of the jacket favorably set off her horse tail. The black part of the jacket was wearing black leather trousers.

The smell of perfume burst from her car into the gasoline vapors of the highway. In one of the traffic jams, next to the white car, a black car stopped with a young man at the wheel. The eyes of the two hunters met, and they realized that they had found each other for this spring. Two cars drove on together. Cars like stuck together, it turned out the car-catamaran on the road. The young man and the girl held hands. One car was with the right wheel, and the second with the left. They held their steering wheels and talked at the same time.

The man’s name was Apollo, he opened his spring adventure hunt in a cherry leather jacket and black leather trousers. Dissatisfied cars circled their side. Two hunters met on the freeway, but where is the game? Two cars together drove into the parking lot, as if they were glued together. Agnes and Apollo went out to meet each other. He was half a head taller than her, the size of his torso from waist to head was the same as hers, but his legs were much longer.

They got into their cabriolets, but their cars did not disperse. They drove with one speed, and it is very difficult in a busy spring city, when after winter hibernation all the cars got out. They stopped at another car park, where two cars could arrive at the same time, as if they were not two cars, but a catamaran convertible.

Apollo already knew that he did not want to continue to hunt for a woman from a white car, but he thought he did. He knew one thing and thought another. Agnes thought that this young man did not suit her, but she firmly knew what was appropriate. They again got out of their cars, knowing that they were absolutely suitable for each other in height.

– What do we do? – Apollo asked, playing a ring in front of the eyes of a young girl.

«We’ll leave the cars and go by taxi,» Agnessa replied calmly, showing a large diamond brooch on the lapel of the jacket.

– Leave in different directions? – Apollo specified, never taking his eyes off the diamond brooch.

«To their homes,» the girl unexpectedly angrily replied, wringing a jacket in order to cover up the beauty of an open chest.

Apollo flashed a ring with a diamond, pulling out a cell phone. And here is the game! They again changed their minds about each other and decided that they could continue to hunt for such brilliant stones. Apollo called two taxis. But two taxis stuck together in one… The drivers of the other cars were completely confused, and Apollo laughed nervously. Drivers of other cars stood at four cars and did not know what to do. Apollo called an emergency car, but two cars arrived and stuck together.

Agnes from the trunk of her car took out her shoes with heels, and even with a platform on the sole. Its growth has increased significantly. They walked and laughed. She looked closely at the diamond, but it turned out to be fake. He looked at the brooch and thought it was jewelry.

But the game did not bother them anymore! The sun shone in his eyes, and their growth was the same. They smiled at each other and stuck together in a kiss. How long have they stood, joined by one long kiss? Not at all. The cars were parked in the parking lot, and no one could separate them and evacuate them. No one could disassemble the car for parts, because the one who approached them, he stuck and fell asleep.

A terrible sight was inside the city. The city authorities have decided to make the roof over the cars and protect this strange place from people, birds and animals.

Detective Musin unwittingly looked out the window: it was snowing outside. The snow flew and circled. Graceful snowflakes, dancing in the air, calmly clinging to the long needles of the pines. Sometimes the needles did not hold the snowflakes, and they, falling from the needles, flew to the ground. The young man looked out the window of the house, located next to the jewelry store. Through the snowy shroud was visible entrance to the store, for which he unwittingly watched. People entered and left the store without attracting his attention.

Suddenly he felt a surge of attention to the young lady in a white fur coat with a red long scarf, tied under a collar. The ends of the scarf coincided with the length of the coat. She wore red mittens on her hands, and she was wearing a red pompon on her head. Such a bright girl made him rise from his seat and go out into the street.

In the brick tower, located next to the pine forest, located shop «Silver Hoof». He entered the store. The light of day lamps illuminated small shiny stones on rings and earrings. The girl was standing at the window with gold ornaments. She was uncontrollably attracted to her transparent stones in a gold design. She asked the seller to show the diamond earrings. The crystal edges gleamed on her palm so closely and ghostly that she put them on her earlobe and looked in the mirror.

Transparent edges, shimmering in the light of lamps, caused her a strange feeling that she knows how to find diamonds in this world. She never had diamonds in her house. But when she read about them in books or watched movies with a chase, she always thought she knew before any hero the answer to the question: «Where can I find diamonds?» She loved diamond detectives.

The girl thought for a moment and returned the earrings with small diamonds to the seller. She had enough money for earrings with tourmaline, which reminded her of Rowan berries.

Musin did not doubt that the girl would buy red stones to match the color of the scarf and pom-pom. Soon he again saw the charming creature. He had a burning desire to get to know her again.

Light snow sparkled in the rays of a street lamp. The girl spun on one leg with snowflakes, like an earring in her ear, when she checked whether she was there. Her bright fur coat in snowflakes turned into a sparkling miracle. He took a step toward the girl. She looked at him in surprise. He was wearing a dark short coat with a fluffy checkered scarf around his neck.

«Hello,» said the girl confusedly. – I saw you somewhere! I think I know you.

«Good evening,» the young man smiled. – My name is Apollo. If you saw me, it is not by chance.

– And my name is Agnes! And I invite you to the buns with tea. Buns are very unfashionable pastries, but they are great for mom!

– I will not refuse your invitation. Are you afraid to invite a stranger?

«I have a feeling that we have known each other for a long time,» the girl said slowly.

They entered the nearest entrance, climbed the stairs to the third floor, and stopped in front of a door studded with carnations with large hats. The door was opened by a slender middle-aged woman with a short haircut.

– Mom, meet, this is Apollo! – introduced Agnes young man.

– Nice to meet you! – smiled her mom. – Agnessa, you went to your friend Tatiana, and you came with a young man. How to understand you?

– I left the house, circled among the snowflakes, and Apollo stopped near me. Mom, we will sit in our house and never go anywhere, «the girl replied, completely forgetting about her friend. – Apollo, take off the coat, we will drink tea.

They sat on chairs with curved backs, standing around an oval table covered with a tablecloth with embroidered satin pansies. There was a set of furniture in the room: a polished sideboard with crystal tableware, a wardrobe and a TV on the nightstand.
