Dup\u0103 ce apelul s-a \u00eenchis, Lucia a r\u0103mas ghemuit\u0103 \u00een dulap, cu telefonul lipit de piept.<\/p>\n
Afar\u0103, vila p\u0103rea prea mare \u0219i prea t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Auzea doar ploaia \u0219i pa\u0219ii ocazionali ai bodyguarzilor de pe hol.<\/p>\n
\u00cencerca s\u0103 nu pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan \u00eei spusese mereu c\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd \u021bi-e fric\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 respiri \u00eencet \u0219i s\u0103 g\u00e2nde\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
Dar avea doar \u0219apte ani.<\/p>\n
\u0218i era singur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Madrid, \u0218tefan nu mai privea ora\u0219ul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen c\u00e2teva secunde devenise alt om.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul calm, elegant, urm\u0103rit de jurnali\u0219ti \u0219i avoca\u021bi disp\u0103ruse.<\/p>\n
A luat un telefon diferit din sertar \u0219i a format un singur num\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adu avionul, a spus scurt. Plec\u0103m \u00een treizeci de minute.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218efu\u2019, poli\u021bia spaniol\u0103\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui era at\u00e2t de rece \u00eenc\u00e2t omul de la cap\u0103tul firului n-a mai pus \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de o or\u0103, o ma\u0219in\u0103 neagr\u0103 \u00eel ducea spre un aeroport privat de l\u00e2ng\u0103 Madrid.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan privea \u00eentunericul de afar\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Trebuia s\u0103 ajung\u0103 \u00eenainte de diminea\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 foarte mul\u021bi ani, nu \u00eei era fric\u0103 pentru bani, procese sau libertate.<\/p>\n
\u00cei era fric\u0103 s\u0103 nu ajung\u0103 prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n
\u00cen vil\u0103, Lucia tres\u0103ri c\u00e2nd cineva b\u0103tu \u00een u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Lucia? deschide.<\/p>\n
Era vocea Renatei.<\/p>\n
Bl\u00e2nd\u0103.
\nFals\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia nu r\u0103spunse.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu c\u0103 e\u0219ti treaz\u0103, iubita mea.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba \u00ee\u0219i mu\u0219c\u0103 buza ca s\u0103 nu scoat\u0103 niciun sunet.<\/p>\n
Clan\u021ba se mi\u0219c\u0103 \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Dar u\u015fa era \u00eencuiat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde de lini\u0219te, Renata vorbi din nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M\u00e2ine pleci \u00eentr-un loc foarte frumos. O s\u0103 ai oameni care s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 de tine.<\/p>\n
Lucia \u00eenchise ochii.<\/p>\n
\u0218tia acum c\u0103 femeia aceea min\u021bea chiar \u0219i c\u00e2nd vorbea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
Pa\u0219ii se \u00eendep\u0103rtar\u0103 \u00eentr-un final.<\/p>\n
Dar Lucia nu ie\u0219i din dulap.<\/p>\n
A adormit acolo spre diminea\u021b\u0103, \u021bin\u00e2nd telefonul \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd s-a trezit, era lumin\u0103 afar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i cineva \u021bipa \u00een cas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui Renata.<\/p>\n
Furioas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia deschise \u00eencet u\u0219a camerei.<\/p>\n
Apoi \u00eel auzi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Unde este?<\/p>\n
Vocea lui \u0218tefan.<\/p>\n
Joas\u0103.
\nPericuloas\u0103.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a \u00eenceput s\u0103 fug\u0103 pe hol f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
L-a g\u0103sit \u00een living, \u00eenc\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103cat cu hainele negre de drum.<\/p>\n
Avea barba crescut\u0103 \u0219i ochii ro\u0219ii de oboseal\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar \u00een clipa \u00een care a v\u0103zut-o, totul de pe fa\u021ba lui s-a rupt.<\/p>\n
Lucia s-a aruncat direct \u00een bra\u021bele lui.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan a prins-o str\u00e2ns, aproape disperat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sunt aici, a murmurat el. Sunt aici.<\/p>\n
Renata \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i p\u0103streze calmul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tefan, pot s\u0103 explic\u2014<\/p>\n
El nici m\u0103car nu s-a uitat la ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Marius unde e?<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, Renata p\u0103ru nesigur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u0219tiu despre ce vorbe\u0219ti.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan ridic\u0103 \u00eencet privirea spre unul dintre oamenii lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adu-l.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 minute mai t\u00e2rziu, Marius era \u00eempins \u00een living de doi bodyguarzi.<\/p>\n
Palid.
\nTranspirat.
\nTremur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ea a f\u0103cut totul! izbucni imediat. Eu doar am executat transferurile!<\/p>\n
Renata \u00eel privi \u0219ocat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nenorocitule\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 Taci, spuse \u0218tefan.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Dar camera \u00eentreag\u0103 \u00eenghe\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan se apropie \u00eencet de Renata.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai vrut s\u0103-mi furi banii\u2026 asta a\u0219 fi rezolvat.<\/p>\n
\u00cenc\u0103 un pas.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar ai atins copilul meu.<\/p>\n
Renata f\u0103cu instinctiv un pas \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tefan, eu doar \u00eencercam s\u0103\u2014<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103 o vinzi?<\/p>\n
Femeia amu\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Lucia sim\u021bi cum bra\u021bul lui \u0218tefan se \u00eencordeaz\u0103 \u00een jurul ei.<\/p>\n
Nu \u021bipa.
\nNu lovea.<\/p>\n
Tocmai asta era \u00eenfrico\u0219\u0103tor.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 omul care \u00ee\u0219i pierdea controlul era mai pu\u021bin periculos dec\u00e2t omul care \u00eel p\u0103stra.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan scoase telefonul \u0219i form\u0103 un alt num\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Comisarule Preda? Bun\u0103 diminea\u021ba. Am ni\u0219te oameni \u00een casa mea care trebuie aresta\u021bi \u00eenainte s\u0103 dispar\u0103 din \u021bar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Renata deveni alb\u0103 la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu po\u021bi face asta.<\/p>\n
\u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u0218tefan z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n
Dar era un z\u00e2mbet rece.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Renata\u2026 eu pot face aproape orice.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 ore mai t\u00e2rziu, poli\u021bia pleca din vil\u0103 cu Renata \u0219i Marius \u00eenc\u0103tu\u0219a\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Jurnali\u0219tii deja se adunau la poart\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lucia st\u0103tea pe terasa din spate, \u00eenvelit\u0103 \u00eentr-o p\u0103tur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan veni \u0219i se a\u0219ez\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u00e2teva clipe n-au spus nimic.<\/p>\n
Apoi el \u00eei \u00eentinse o can\u0103 cu ceai cald.<\/p>\n
Exact cum f\u0103cea mereu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am speriat, tati, \u0219opti ea.<\/p>\n
El \u00eenchise ochii pentru o secund\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i eu.<\/p>\n
Lucia \u00eel privi atent.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 mai pleci?<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan se uit\u0103 spre gr\u0103din\u0103, unde ploaia \u00eencepea \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pentru mult timp, spuse \u00eencet. \u0218i niciodat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 tine.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba se lipi de el.<\/p>\n
