Recep\u021bionerul s-a ridicat brusc de pe scaun, cu cardul \u00eenc\u0103 \u00een m\u00e2na lui, uit\u00e2ndu-se pe ecran ca \u0219i cum acolo ar fi ap\u0103rut o fantom\u0103. Apoi, \u00eentr-un ton mult mai respectuos dec\u00e2t cel de mai devreme, a spus:<\/p>\n
\u201eRevin imediat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0218i a disp\u0103rut \u00eentr-un birou micu\u021b din spatele tejghelei, \u00eenchiz\u00e2nd u\u0219a dup\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas acolo, cu genunchii moi, uit\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 la tavanul cu grinzi vechi \u0219i \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 respir. Nu \u00een\u021belegeam nimic. Poate cardul fusese blocat. Poate avea datorii. Poate era expirat. Poate\u2026 nici nu era un card adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Dar de ce reac\u021bia aceea?<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 aproape un minut, u\u0219a s-a deschis cu zgomot, iar recep\u021bionerul a ie\u0219it \u00eempreun\u0103 cu un b\u0103rbat \u00een costum gri, cu statur\u0103 impun\u0103toare \u0219i privire serioas\u0103. La g\u00e2t purta un ecuson lucios, dar nu am reu\u0219it s\u0103-i citesc numele.<\/p>\n

\u201eV\u0103 rog s\u0103 veni\u021bi cu mine pentru c\u00e2teva verific\u0103ri. Este o procedur\u0103 standard pentru cardurile de acest tip.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cardurile de acest tip?<\/em> M-a condus \u00een biroul recep\u021biei, unde era un scaun lipit de perete.
