Nu am mai avut timp s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentreb ce \u00eensemna acel stick. Poli\u021bistul care venise la mine a cerut imediat toate informa\u021biile pe care le aveam despre Radu \u0219i a transmis colegilor s\u0103i descrierea ma\u0219inii lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina era at\u00e2t de speriat\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t \u00ee\u0219i str\u00e2ngea m\u00e2inile una \u00een alta ca s\u0103-\u0219i poat\u0103 controla tremurul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mara \u0219tia c\u0103 str\u00e2nge\u021bi dovezi \u00eempotriva lui? am \u00eentrebat-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia a ezitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 B\u0103nuia. Dar nu cred c\u0103 \u0219tia c\u00e2t de multe descoperise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi privirea ei s-a oprit asupra tufei de l\u00e2ng\u0103 fereastra mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Acolo a ascuns unul dintre ele?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cum adic\u0103 \u201eunul dintre ele\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina \u0219i-a cobor\u00e2t privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nu era singurul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acel moment am \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 ceea ce g\u0103sisem sub tufa din fa\u021ba casei era doar o pies\u0103 dintr-un plan mult mai mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu c\u00e2teva luni \u00eenainte, Mara \u00eencepuse s\u0103 p\u0103streze copii ale mesajelor, fotografiilor \u0219i \u00eenregistr\u0103rilor care puteau demonstra ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpla \u00een casa lor. Rare\u0219 o ajuta, de\u0219i Cristina \u00eencercase s\u0103-i conving\u0103 s\u0103 renun\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Le-am spus c\u0103 nu este responsabilitatea lor, mi-a m\u0103rturisit ea. Sunt copii. Nu trebuiau s\u0103 poarte asemenea grij\u0103 pe umeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar Mara \u00eei r\u0103spunsese:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 el \u0219tie unde p\u0103streaz\u0103 mama lucrurile, atunci trebuie s\u0103 le ascundem \u00een locuri unde nu poate ajunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u0219a ap\u0103ruse obiceiul lor de duminic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sacul de gunoi era doar o aparen\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen timp ce mergeau pe strad\u0103 \u0219i str\u00e2ngeau h\u00e2rtii sau ambalaje, cei doi copii ascundeau, \u00een secret, copii ale dovezilor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unele ajungeau sub tufe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altele \u00een spatele unor cutii po\u0219tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2teva erau ascunse l\u00e2ng\u0103 garduri sau \u00een locuri despre care \u0219tiau c\u0103 nu vor atrage aten\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 C\u00e2te a\u021bi ascuns? \u00eentreb\u0103 poli\u021bistul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina \u00ee\u0219i \u0219terse ochii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dou\u0103sprezece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sim\u021bit un fior rece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dou\u0103sprezece copii ale adev\u0103rului, r\u0103sp\u00e2ndite prin cartier de doi copii care se temeau c\u0103, \u00eentr-o zi, nu vor mai avea posibilitatea s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mai \u0219ti\u021bi vreun loc unde Radu ar putea merge? \u00eentreb\u0103 poli\u021bistul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina r\u0103mase c\u00e2teva secunde cu ochii \u00eenchi\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi \u00ee\u0219i ridic\u0103 brusc privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O caban\u0103. Are o caban\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 p\u0103dure. Merge acolo c\u00e2nd vrea s\u0103 fie singur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poli\u021bistul a transmis imediat informa\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au urmat c\u00e2teva minute interminabile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu st\u0103team l\u00e2ng\u0103 Cristina \u0219i nu reu\u0219eam s\u0103-mi iau g\u00e2ndul de la duminicile \u00een care \u00eei vedeam pe Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 trec\u00e2nd prin fa\u021ba por\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le z\u00e2mbeam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cei felicitam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Credeam c\u0103 sunt doar doi copii care \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 strada mai curat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu \u00een\u021belesesem c\u0103, sub ochii mei, ei construiau o cale de sc\u0103pare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telefonul poli\u021bistului a sunat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ascultat f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 spun\u0103 nimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi \u0219i-a ridicat privirea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 I-am g\u0103sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cristina s-a ridicat imediat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Copiii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunt \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femeia \u0219i-a acoperit fa\u021ba \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u0219ina lui Radu fusese identificat\u0103 \u00eenainte s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la caban\u0103. Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 erau \u00een\u0103untru, speria\u021bi, dar nev\u0103t\u0103ma\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radu a fost re\u021binut, iar copiii au fost du\u0219i \u00eentr-un loc sigur \u00eempreun\u0103 cu mama lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar povestea nu se terminase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abia atunci a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se descopere adev\u0103rata dimensiune a planului lor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, vecinii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 caute prin locurile pe care Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 le frecventau \u00een timpul \u201ecur\u0103\u021beniei\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primul stick a fost g\u0103sit \u00een spatele unei cutii po\u0219tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altul era ascuns l\u00e2ng\u0103 un gard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul fusese pus sub un ghiveci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altul se afla sub o bucat\u0103 de lemn dintr-o curte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unul c\u00e2te unul, cele dou\u0103sprezece dispozitive au fost g\u0103site \u0219i predate poli\u021biei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe fiecare se afla aceea\u0219i idee: dac\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 nu mai puteau vorbi, cineva trebuia s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 dovezile \u0219i s\u0103 cear\u0103 ajutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atunci am \u00een\u021beles de ce nu ascunseser\u0103 totul \u00eentr-un singur loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii nu \u0219tiau cine avea s\u0103 observe primul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u0219a c\u0103 nu se bazaser\u0103 pe o singur\u0103 persoan\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se bazaser\u0103 pe to\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au trecut aproape trei luni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, c\u00e2nd am deschis cutia po\u0219tal\u0103, am g\u0103sit un plic simplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu avea adres\u0103 de retur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar n-a fost nevoie s\u0103 citesc numele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am recunoscut imediat scrisul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era de la Mara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cemi povestea c\u0103 mama ei era bine. Rare\u0219 dormea din nou lini\u0219tit. Ea \u00eencepuse s\u0103 deseneze \u0219i nu mai tres\u0103rea de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd auzea o ma\u0219in\u0103 oprind \u00een fa\u021ba casei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La final, scrisese c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri care m-au f\u0103cut s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMama spune c\u0103 trebuia s\u0103 cerem ajutor mai devreme. Eu cred c\u0103 am cerut. Am l\u0103sat adev\u0103rul \u00een dou\u0103sprezece locuri. Trebuia doar ca cineva s\u0103-l g\u0103seasc\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am recitit scrisoarea de mai multe ori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi m-am uitat spre tufa de sub fereastra mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am g\u00e2ndit c\u00e2t de aproape fusesem s\u0103 trec pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 acel stick f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i acord nicio importan\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2t de u\u0219or putea fi confundat cu un obiect abandonat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i c\u00e2t de mult se poate schimba via\u021ba unui om atunci c\u00e2nd cineva decide s\u0103 priveasc\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen prim\u0103vara urm\u0103toare, Cristina s-a \u00eentors pe strada noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venise \u00eempreun\u0103 cu Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 pentru a recupera c\u00e2teva lucruri r\u0103mase \u00een casa veche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vecinii au ie\u0219it pe r\u00e2nd la por\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara m-a v\u0103zut \u0219i a venit direct spre mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ne-am oprit l\u00e2ng\u0103 locul \u00een care g\u0103sisem primul dispozitiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 L-a\u021bi verificat imediat? m-a \u00eentrebat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 V-a fost team\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am z\u00e2mbit slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Foarte tare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata a scos din buzunar un stick gol \u0219i mi l-a \u00eentins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 P\u0103stra\u021bi-l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am luat nedumerit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru ce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara s-a uitat spre frunzele de sub fereastra mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ca s\u0103 nu uita\u021bi niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 c\u0103uta\u021bi \u0219i acolo unde nimeni nu se g\u00e2nde\u0219te s\u0103 priveasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am str\u00e2ns obiectul \u00een palm\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 N-o s\u0103 uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i nu am uitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Din acel moment, duminicile din cartierul nostru s-au schimbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai era doar Mara \u0219i Rare\u0219 cu sacul lor negru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ie\u0219eam cu to\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cur\u0103\u021bam strada, gardurile \u0219i spa\u021biile dintre case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar, mai important, \u00eenv\u0103\u021baser\u0103m s\u0103 observ\u0103m oamenii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un copil care devine brusc t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un vecin care pare speriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O persoan\u0103 care \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 cear\u0103 ajutor f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 puterea s\u0103 spun\u0103 direct ce i se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru c\u0103 cei doi copii nu str\u00e2nseser\u0103 doar gunoi \u00een acele duminici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u0103saser\u0103 \u00een urma lor o hart\u0103 c\u0103tre adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu am \u00een\u021beles atunci c\u0103 uneori un semnal de alarm\u0103 nu arat\u0103 deloc ca un strig\u0103t. Poate fi o privire, un gest aparent banal sau chiar un obiect ascuns sub c\u00e2teva frunze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important este s\u0103 existe cineva dispus s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103, s\u0103-l observe \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eentrebe: \u201eCe se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 aici?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Partea a 2-a \u2013 Continuarea pove\u0219tii Nu am mai avut timp s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentreb ce \u00eensemna acel stick.
