A treia oar\u0103 c\u00e2nd Elena s-a apropiat de masa lor, liderul s-a ridicat brusc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A prins-o de m\u00e2nec\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Stai pu\u021bin, a zis el, cu un z\u00e2mbet murdar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o frac\u021biune de secund\u0103, a tras tare. Materialul sub\u021bire al uniformei s-a rupt cu un sunet sec, ca o palm\u0103 peste lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Localul a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi, instinctiv, str\u00e2ng\u00e2ndu-\u0219i bluza rupt\u0103 la piept. Respira greu. Nu de frig. De ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e2setele lor au izbucnit, groase, batjocoritoare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Uite, b\u0103, spectacol pe gratis! a strigat unul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mo\u0219 Ghi\u021b\u0103 a ie\u0219it din buc\u0103t\u0103rie, dar s-a oprit la doi pa\u0219i. Era b\u0103tr\u00e2n. \u0218tia c\u0103 nu are nicio \u0219ans\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena nu a \u021bipat. Nu a pl\u00e2ns. Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi, dar \u0219i le-a \u00eenghi\u021bit. A f\u0103cut un singur lucru: s-a \u00eentors spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clopo\u021belul a sunat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen prag st\u0103tea un b\u0103rbat \u00een geac\u0103 simpl\u0103, cu umerii la\u021bi \u0219i privirea ad\u00e2nc\u0103. Avea m\u00e2inile cr\u0103pate de munc\u0103 \u0219i o cicatrice veche pe spr\u00e2ncean\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So\u021bul ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd i-a v\u0103zut bluza rupt\u0103 \u0219i chipul alb ca varul, ceva s-a rupt \u0219i \u00een el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a ridicat vocea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A p\u0103\u0219it \u00eencet spre masa din mijloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine? a \u00eentrebat calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liderul s-a \u00eentors, r\u00e2z\u00e2nd \u00eenc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce, b\u0103, e\u0219ti bodyguardul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marin a pus m\u00e2na pe sp\u0103tarul banchetei \u0219i a str\u00e2ns. Vinilinul a sc\u00e2r\u021b\u00e2it sub degete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine a atins-o?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e2setele au murit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primul pumn a venit rapid. Precise. F\u0103r\u0103 furie oarb\u0103. Doar hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al doilea b\u0103rbat a \u00eencercat s\u0103 sar\u0103, dar Marin l-a prins de guler \u0219i l-a tr\u00e2ntit de mas\u0103. Farfuriile au zburat. Cafeaua s-a v\u0103rsat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al treilea a apucat s\u0103 scoat\u0103 un cu\u021bit mic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gre\u0219eala lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen mai pu\u021bin de dou\u0103 minute, to\u021bi trei erau la p\u0103m\u00e2nt, gem\u00e2nd. Marin st\u0103tea deasupra lor, respir\u00e2nd ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Aici e Rom\u00e2nia, a spus rar. \u0218i femeile se respect\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A scos telefonul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Poli\u021bia? Da. Trei indivizi violen\u021bi. La La Drum Bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a \u00eenchis, s-a \u00eentors spre Elena. I-a pus geaca lui pe umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai acas\u0103, i-a spus \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clien\u021bii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 respire din nou. Cineva a aplaudat. Alt cineva a \u0219ters o lacrim\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afar\u0103, sirenele se apropiau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea, Elena a \u00een\u021beles ceva simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu to\u021bi eroii poart\u0103 uniforme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unii poart\u0103 t\u0103cerea. \u0218i intervin exact c\u00e2nd trebuie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
