Timpul s-a oprit pentru c\u00e2teva secunde care au p\u0103rut minute.<\/p>\n
Cea\u021ba se l\u0103sa tot mai groas\u0103 peste asfalt, iar respira\u021bia t\u00e2n\u0103rului se auzea sacadat, ca \u0219i cum fiecare gur\u0103 de aer era o lupt\u0103. Thor nu s-a mi\u0219cat. Nu a m\u00e2r\u00e2it. Nu a str\u00e2ns. Doar st\u0103tea acolo, lipit de el, cu o lini\u0219te care nu avea ce c\u0103uta \u00eentr-o interven\u021bie de poli\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Agentul Merca a sim\u021bit pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een cariera lui c\u0103 nu mai de\u021bine controlul. \u0218i, ciudat, nu era speriat. Era\u2026 mi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Alina, \u00eencet\u2026 a \u0219optit el.<\/p>\n
T\u00e2n\u0103ra agent\u0103 \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t complet arma. M\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218efu\u2019, c\u00e2inele\u2026 nu reac\u021bioneaz\u0103 normal.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba reac\u021bioneaz\u0103, a spus Merca \u00eencet. Doar c\u0103 nu cum scrie \u00een manual.<\/p>\n
S-au apropiat cu pa\u0219i mici. T\u00e2n\u0103rul pl\u00e2ngea acum f\u0103r\u0103 zgomot. \u00cen m\u00e2na pe care o \u021binea str\u00e2ns nu era nici cu\u021bit, nici pistol. Era o fotografie mototolit\u0103. Alb-negru. Un copil mic, cu un c\u00e2ine identic cu Thor, mai mic, mai st\u00e2ngaci, dar cu aceea\u0219i privire.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cum te cheam\u0103? a \u00eentrebat Merca.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei\u2026 a r\u0103spuns t\u00e2n\u0103rul, abia auzit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andrei, e\u0219ti r\u0103nit?<\/p>\n
A cl\u0103tinat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 doar\u2026 obosit.<\/p>\n
Thor a ridicat u\u0219or capul \u0219i l-a lins pe obraz. Exact cum fac c\u00e2inii c\u00e2nd vor s\u0103 spun\u0103 \u201esunt aici\u201d.<\/p>\n
Andrei a izbucnit.<\/p>\n
Printre suspine, adev\u0103rul a ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103. Cu ani \u00een urm\u0103, copil fiind, crescuse \u00eentr-un centru de plasament din Alba. Singura constant\u0103 din via\u021ba lui fusese un c\u00e2ine donat centrului \u2014 tat\u0103l lui Thor. C\u00e2nd centrul s-a \u00eenchis, c\u00e2inele a fost luat de poli\u021bie. Andrei fusese mutat dintr-un loc \u00een altul. Via\u021ba \u00eel zdrobise metodic. Datorii. Munc\u0103 la negru. O h\u00e2rtie cu datorie de 8.000 de lei care-l urm\u0103rea. O desp\u0103r\u021bire. O noapte prea grea.<\/p>\n
Venise pe drum ca s\u0103 dispar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar nu se a\u0219teptase ca trecutul s\u0103-l g\u0103seasc\u0103 sub forma unei \u00eembr\u0103\u021bi\u0219\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Thor \u00eel recunoscuse. Mirosul. Vocea. Amintirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu mai pot, dom\u2019le agent\u2026 a spus Andrei. Am vrut doar s\u0103 se termine.<\/p>\n
Merca a inspirat ad\u00e2nc. A scos cascheta \u0219i a \u021binut-o la piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba po\u021bi. \u0218i nu e\u0219ti singur. Uite cine a venit dup\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
Au chemat ambulan\u021ba. Nu cu sirene. Cu respect.<\/p>\n
Andrei a plecat spre spital cu Thor l\u00e2ng\u0103 targ\u0103, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd medicii au spus c\u0103 e suficient.<\/p>\n
\u00cen noaptea aceea, nimeni n-a mai vorbit mult.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-au \u00eentors la ma\u0219in\u0103, Alina \u0219i-a \u0219ters ochii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Crede\u021bi c\u0103 o s\u0103 fie bine?<\/p>\n
Merca s-a uitat la Thor, care st\u0103tea calm, cu privirea senin\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 fie. Uneori, trebuie doar ca cineva s\u0103-\u021bi aminteasc\u0103 cine ai fost \u00eenainte s\u0103 te doar\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Andrei lucra la un service auto din Cluj. \u00cencet, \u00ee\u0219i pl\u0103tea datoriile. \u00cencet, se ridica.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd, \u00eentr-o curte a sec\u021biei de poli\u021bie, un t\u00e2n\u0103r \u0219i un c\u00e2ine st\u0103teau pe o banc\u0103, \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Nu ca agent \u0219i civil.<\/p>\n
Ci ca doi prieteni care au supravie\u021buit aceleia\u0219i nop\u021bi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
