Noaptea se l\u0103sa grea, ca o p\u0103tur\u0103 deas\u0103 \u0219i de nepenetrat peste drum. Z\u0103pada c\u0103dea ca un cort gros din cer, farurile abia reu\u0219eau s\u0103 str\u0103pung\u0103 furtuna alb\u0103, iar v\u00e2ntul t\u0103ia ca ni\u0219te ace de ghea\u021b\u0103 \u00een parbriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan Sokolov, un \u0219ofer experimentat de camion, nu mai sim\u021bea oboseala \u2014 frica \u00eel cuprinsese mai repede dec\u00e2t \u00eenghe\u021baser\u0103 degetele sale pe volan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ceva nu era \u00een regul\u0103. \u0218tia asta chiar \u00eenainte s\u0103 o vad\u0103 PE EA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O siluet\u0103 \u00eentunecat\u0103 pe marginea drumului. Nemi\u0219cat\u0103. Aproape c\u0103 se contopise cu viscolul nop\u021bii. Ivan a \u00eencetinit instinctiv, inima \u00eei b\u0103tea cu putere. Era prea t\u00e2rziu. Drumul era prea pustiu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auzise de mii de ori pove\u0219ti despre astfel de \u201eoameni g\u0103si\u021bi\u201d. Unii erau doar victime nefericite. Al\u021bii… Ei bine, era mai bine s\u0103 nu-\u0219i aminteasc\u0103 cum se terminau astfel de pove\u0219ti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farurile au luminat \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it fa\u021ba. Era o fat\u0103. Palid\u0103, buzele albastre, hainele sub\u021biri, complet nepotrivite pentru vreme. St\u0103tea \u00eenghemuit\u0103 \u00een z\u0103pad\u0103, nemi\u0219cat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hei, m\u0103 auzi? \u2014 Ivan a atins-o u\u0219or pe um\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pielea ei era rece ca ghea\u021ba, dar \u00een urm\u0103torul moment a auzit un geam\u0103t slab. Tr\u0103ia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu a mai stat pe g\u00e2nduri. A luat-o \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i a fost imediat surprins de c\u00e2t de u\u0219oar\u0103 era. De parc\u0103 ar fi fost suficient\u0103 o mi\u0219care gre\u0219it\u0103 ca s\u0103 se fac\u0103 f\u0103r\u00e2me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dus-o \u00een cabina camionului, a pornit \u00eenc\u0103lzirea, a \u00eenvelit-o \u00eentr-o p\u0103tur\u0103 groas\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eencercat s\u0103-i dea c\u00e2teva \u00eenghi\u021bituri de ceai fierbinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata \u00eenc\u0103 nu-\u0219i revenise, dar degetele i se mi\u0219cau u\u0219or, de parc\u0103 ar fi c\u0103utat ceva \u00een aer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cine era aceast\u0103 fat\u0103? Cum ajunsese aici, \u00een mijlocul pustiet\u0103\u021bii? Un accident? Sau o l\u0103sase cineva din ma\u0219in\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u0103spunsul putea fi printre lucrurile ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privirea lui Ivan a c\u0103zut instinctiv pe geaca \u00eentunecat\u0103, din al c\u0103rei buzunar ie\u0219ea ceva. Un portofel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ezitat. Niciodat\u0103 nu se b\u0103gase \u00een lucrurile altora, dar acum era altceva. Dac\u0103 afla numele ei, putea s\u0103 cheme ajutor. Putea s\u0103-i g\u0103seasc\u0103 familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portofelul era din piele, p\u0103rea scump. \u00cen interior, ceva bani, c\u00e2teva carduri… \u0219i un buletin de identitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd Ivan a scos buletinul, respira\u021bia i-a fost t\u0103iat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Numele de pe card str\u0103lucea ro\u0219u \u00een ochii lui, ca un semnal de alarm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anastasia Kovaljenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lumea i s-a \u00eenv\u00e2rtit pentru o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kovaljenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un nume pe care \u00eencerca s\u0103-l uite de zece ani. Un nume de care fugise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i acum, fiica celui mai periculos om, a unui om care putea s\u0103-l fac\u0103 s\u0103 dispar\u0103 cu o mi\u0219care de m\u00e2n\u0103, se afla \u00een camionul lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cenghe\u021bat\u0103. Speriat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar de ce fugise? \u0218i ce c\u0103uta tocmai aici?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
