Leonardo a ie\u0219it din restaurant f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een mintea lui lucrurile fierbeau.<\/p>\n
Nu era obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 piard\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu era obi\u0219nuit s\u0103 fie pus \u00een umbr\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, mai ales, nu era obi\u0219nuit ca un chelner b\u0103tr\u00e2n s\u0103-i strice o afacere de milioane.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ma\u0219in\u0103, a tr\u00e2ntit portiera mai tare dec\u00e2t trebuia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cel rezolv eu, a morm\u0103it.<\/p>\n
A doua zi diminea\u021b\u0103, restaurantul \u201eBelvedere\u201d \u0219i-a deschis u\u0219ile ca de obicei.<\/p>\n
Evarist era deja acolo.<\/p>\n
La aceea\u0219i or\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cu acela\u0219i carne\u021bel.<\/p>\n
Cu acelea\u0219i gesturi lini\u0219tite.<\/p>\n
Dar la pr\u00e2nz, domnul Arn\u0103utu l-a chemat \u00een birou.<\/p>\n
Era vizibil tulburat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Evariste\u2026 avem o problem\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul a \u00eenchis u\u0219a \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n
Patronul a oftat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 A venit un control. Din senin. Inspectorii spun c\u0103 sunt nereguli. H\u00e2rtii, autoriza\u021bii\u2026 lucruri mici, dar suficiente s\u0103 ne \u00eenchid\u0103 temporar.<\/p>\n
Evarist a dat din cap \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i\u2026 au spus clar. Cineva \u201esus\u201d vrea asta.<\/p>\n
Nu era nevoie de explica\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Am\u00e2ndoi \u0219tiau.<\/p>\n
Leonardo.<\/p>\n
Evarist nu a spus nimic c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
Apoi a \u00eentrebat calm:<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2t timp avem?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103 zile.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul a ie\u0219it din birou f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103, nu s-a dus acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
A scos din sertar o cutie veche.<\/p>\n
\u00cen\u0103untru \u2014 carne\u021bele.<\/p>\n
Zeci.<\/p>\n
Ani \u00eentregi de noti\u021be.<\/p>\n
Oameni.<\/p>\n
Obiceiuri.<\/p>\n
Discu\u021bii auzite f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vrea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i printre ele\u2026 detalii.<\/p>\n
Nume.<\/p>\n
Date.<\/p>\n
\u00cent\u00e2mpl\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
Inclusiv despre Leonardo.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 oamenii vorbesc mult la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i uit\u0103 cine \u00eei ascult\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, Evarist nu s-a dus la munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
S-a dus \u00een alt\u0103 parte.<\/p>\n
La un birou elegant, \u00eentr-o cl\u0103dire de sticl\u0103.<\/p>\n
A cerut o \u00eent\u00e2lnire.<\/p>\n
Cu Hiroshi Tanaka.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd au intrat \u00een birou, japonezul l-a recunoscut imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Domnule Evarist.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul a \u00eenclinat u\u0219or capul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am venit s\u0103 v\u0103 cer iertare\u2026 pentru seara trecut\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu ave\u021bi de ce.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da. Nu pentru mine. Pentru ce urmeaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi l-a privit atent.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vre\u021bi s\u0103 spune\u021bi?<\/p>\n
Evarist a scos un carne\u021bel.<\/p>\n
L-a pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Omul cu care vre\u021bi s\u0103 face\u021bi afaceri\u2026 nu e cine pare.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi nu a atins carnetul imediat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi dovezi?<\/p>\n
Evarist a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ani \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu, lini\u0219tea din birou era grea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 \u00een acele pagini erau lucruri serioase.<\/p>\n
Contracte dubioase.<\/p>\n
Nume grele.<\/p>\n
Tranzac\u021bii ascunse.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi a \u00eenchis \u00eencet carnetul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen\u021beleg.<\/p>\n
A ridicat privirea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 V\u0103 mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 zile mai t\u00e2rziu, restaurantul nu s-a \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Controlul a disp\u0103rut la fel de repede cum ap\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n
Domnul Arn\u0103utu nu \u00een\u021belegea.<\/p>\n
Dar Evarist da.<\/p>\n
\u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103, la ora opt \u0219i dou\u0103zeci, u\u0219a s-a deschis din nou.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi a intrat singur.<\/p>\n
S-a a\u0219ezat la masa lui.<\/p>\n
Evarist s-a apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 seara.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 seara.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am refuzat oficial colaborarea.<\/p>\n
Evarist a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Era decizia corect\u0103.<\/p>\n
Hiroshi l-a privit direct.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu doar at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
A scos un plic.<\/p>\n
L-a pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 investesc aici.<\/p>\n
Evarist a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen restaurant?<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen oameni.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen respect.<\/p>\n
B\u0103tr\u00e2nul a sim\u021bit ceva rar.<\/p>\n
Nu m\u00e2ndrie.<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103, dup\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103 \u00een care nu primise nimic de-a gata\u2026<\/p>\n
