Elena ridic\u0103 \u00eencet privirea spre el. Nu spuse nimic, dar \u00een ochii ei se citea o siguran\u021b\u0103 care \u00eel f\u0103cu pe sergent s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 brusc. \u00cen t\u0103cerea aceea tensionat\u0103, se auzi doar zumzetul unui neon care p\u00e2lp\u00e2ia neregulat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Hai, vorbe\u0219te, zise M\u0103nescu, sprijinindu-se de birou. Ce crezi, c\u0103 dac\u0103 te ui\u021bi a\u0219a la mine, o s\u0103-mi fie mil\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena \u00ee\u0219i \u00eentoarse u\u0219or \u00eencheieturile, sim\u021bind cum metalul rece \u00eei atinge pielea. Z\u00e2mbi, abia vizibil.
\u2014 Nu vreau mila nim\u0103nui, r\u0103spunse calm. Doar un pahar cu ap\u0103, dac\u0103 nu e prea mult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replica ei \u00eel irit\u0103. Ridic\u0103 vocea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Aici \u00eentreab\u0103 doar cine are dreptul, nu cine e \u00een c\u0103tu\u0219e!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul dintre poli\u021bi\u0219ti chicoti din spate. Dar r\u00e2sul lui se stinse repede c\u00e2nd telefonul fix de pe birou \u00eencepu s\u0103 sune insistent. Sergentul ridic\u0103 receptorul cu o grimas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sec\u021bia central\u0103, M\u0103nescu la aparat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocea de la cel\u0103lalt cap\u0103t \u00eel f\u0103cu s\u0103 \u00eencremeneasc\u0103. Fa\u021ba i se albi pe loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum?\u2026 Ce spune\u021bi?\u2026 Judec\u0103toarea cine?\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To\u021bi ochii se \u00eentoarser\u0103 spre Elena. Ea nu se mi\u0219c\u0103, doar privi calm scena. M\u0103nescu \u00eenchise telefonul \u00eencet, de parc\u0103 i-ar fi fost team\u0103 s\u0103 nu-l sparg\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dez\u2026 dezlega\u021bi-o imediat, porunci el cu voce sc\u0103zut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poli\u021bistul de l\u00e2ng\u0103 el r\u0103mase cu cheia \u00een aer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103? E suspect\u0103, n-aveam ordin\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 F\u0103 ce-\u021bi spun, Andrei! E judec\u0103toarea Elena Radu\u2026 de la \u00cenalta Curte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O t\u0103cere grea c\u0103zu peste \u00eenc\u0103pere. R\u00e2setele, glumele, privirile batjocoritoare se topir\u0103 ca ghea\u021ba sub soare. Poli\u021bi\u0219tii se uitau unii la al\u021bii, ne\u0219tiind cum s\u0103 reac\u021bioneze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena \u00ee\u0219i frec\u0103 u\u0219or \u00eencheieturile dup\u0103 ce \u00eei scoaser\u0103 c\u0103tu\u0219ele.
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc, spuse simplu, ridic\u00e2ndu-se \u00een picioare. A\u0219 vrea s\u0103 \u0219tiu care e motivul exact pentru care am fost re\u021binut\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nimeni nu r\u0103spunse. \u00cen col\u021bul biroului, un t\u00e2n\u0103r agent \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 privirea ru\u0219inat\u0103. Elena \u00eel privi c\u00e2teva clipe \u0219i ad\u0103ug\u0103, pe un ton bl\u00e2nd: \u2014 Nu v\u0103 teme\u021bi. Nu sunt aici s\u0103 v\u0103 distrug carierele, ci s\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 respectul pentru omul simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuvintele ei au t\u0103iat aerul ca o lam\u0103. P\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i M\u0103nescu, care se d\u0103dea mereu mare, cobor\u00ee privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 judec\u0103tor\u2026 dac\u0103 am \u0219tiut\u2026
\u2014 A\u021bi \u0219tiut destul, \u00eel \u00eentrerupse ea. A\u021bi \u0219tiut c\u0103 eram om. \u0218i totu\u0219i\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen biroul acela care p\u00e2n\u0103 atunci r\u0103suna de r\u00e2sete, se l\u0103s\u0103 o lini\u0219te ad\u00e2nc\u0103. Se auzeau doar pa\u0219ii ei, siguri, c\u00e2nd a trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei, ie\u0219ind pe u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen curtea sec\u021biei, aerul dimine\u021bii era proasp\u0103t. Un ziar aruncat pe jos titra mare: \u201eReforma Justi\u021biei \u2014 Schimb\u0103ri la v\u00e2rf\u201d. Elena \u00eel privi o clip\u0103 \u0219i z\u00e2mbi amar. \u0218tia c\u0103 ziua aceea avea s\u0103 schimbe mai mult dec\u00e2t imaginea unei sec\u021bii de poli\u021bie. Avea s\u0103 devin\u0103 o lec\u021bie pentru to\u021bi cei care confundau uniforma cu puterea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru c\u0103, dincolo de titluri, func\u021bii sau privilegii, adev\u0103rata autoritate se m\u0103soar\u0103 prin felul \u00een care tratezi oamenii care nu-\u021bi pot oferi nimic \u00een schimb. Iar \u00een acea zi, o judec\u0103toare le ar\u0103tase exact ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
