Kira Vanceov\u00e1 pevn\u011b sv\u00edrala volant a opatrn\u011b proj\u00ed\u017ed\u011bla kluzk\u00fdmi ulicemi. Letn\u00ed pr\u016ftr\u017e p\u0159i\u0161la jako blesk z \u010dist\u00e9ho nebe a dokonale ji zasko\u010dila.

\nZastavila na semaforu a nasupen\u011b se pod\u00edvala na prosakuj\u00edc\u00ed posuvnou st\u0159echu, ze kter\u00e9 j\u00ed na rameno kapala voda. Nebylo pochyb \u2013 pot\u0159ebovala nov\u00e9 auto.

\nNa sedadle vedle n\u00ed zazvonil telefon, ale ignorovala ho, proto\u017ee to byl Ollie, jej\u00ed prohnan\u00fd, neurval\u00fd a ob\u010das naprosto nesnesiteln\u00fd \u0161\u00e9f. Necht\u011bla s n\u00edm mluvit po telefonu. Pot\u0159ebovala si promluvit tv\u00e1\u0159\u00ed v tv\u00e1\u0159.
\nKira se smykem rozjela z k\u0159i\u017eovatky a na palubn\u00ed desce se rozsv\u00edtila v\u00fdstra\u017en\u00e1 kontrolka motoru.
\n\u201eTen parchant,\u201c zaklela polohlasem.
\nNed\u00e1vno si nechala vym\u011bnit olej a oprav\u00e1\u0159 j\u00ed tvrdil, \u017ee zkontroloval i v\u0161echno ostatn\u00ed.
\nAle lid\u00e9 l\u017eou. \u010casto. Kdyby tomu tak nebylo, nem\u011bla by co d\u011blat.
\nN\u00e1pln\u00ed jej\u00ed pr\u00e1ce toti\u017e bylo p\u00e1trat po pravd\u011b \u2013 p\u011bkn\u00e9, o\u0161kliv\u00e9 i t\u00e9, o kter\u00e9 necht\u011bl nikdo ani sly\u0161et.

\nPravda m\u016f\u017ee b\u00fdt dvojse\u010dn\u00e1, a pr\u00e1v\u011b to se j\u00ed l\u00edbilo. Nal\u00e9z\u00e1n\u00ed pravdy v n\u00ed vyvol\u00e1valo omamn\u00e9 pocity, kter\u00e9 j\u00ed dok\u00e1zaly pln\u011b vynahradit z\u00e1porn\u00e9 str\u00e1nky pr\u00e1ce soukrom\u00e9ho detektiva, jako bylo t\u0159eba odhalov\u00e1n\u00ed partnersk\u00e9 nev\u011bry, p\u00e1tr\u00e1n\u00ed po otc\u00edch, kte\u0159\u00ed neplat\u00ed v\u00fd\u017eivn\u00e9, nebo rozkr\u00fdv\u00e1n\u00ed pojistn\u00fdch podvod\u016f. Podobn\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edpady j\u00ed lezly na nervy a d\u011blaly z n\u00ed cynika.
\nA dal\u0161\u00ed v\u011bc, kter\u00e1 ji dok\u00e1zala na\u0161tvat? Nezaplacen\u00e9 faktury. S proplacen\u00edm jedn\u00e9 tu\u010dn\u00e9 m\u011bl Ollie u\u017e t\u0159i t\u00fddny zpo\u017ed\u011bn\u00ed, a proto\u017ee byl p\u0159eborn\u00edkem ve vymlouv\u00e1n\u00ed se a kli\u010dkov\u00e1n\u00ed, rozhodla se ho dnes ve\u010der vyhledat a osobn\u011b si s n\u00edm promluvit.
\nKira dorazila do ulice, kter\u00e1 vedla do River Oaks, kde se na n\u00edzce zast\u0159i\u017een\u00fdch tr\u00e1vn\u00edc\u00edch v pozad\u00ed vyp\u00ednaly majest\u00e1tn\u00ed domy. Bou\u0159ka p\u0159inesla p\u0159ed\u010dasn\u00fd soumrak, hust\u00fd tr\u00e1vn\u00edk z\u00e1\u0159il v tajupln\u00e9m p\u0159\u00ed\u0161e\u0159\u00ed t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 neonovou zelen\u00ed.
\nOb\u011b strany ulice lemovala auta. Nedaleko odsud n\u011bkdo po\u0159\u00e1dal mejdan, co\u017e j\u00ed p\u0159ipadalo zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed vzhledem k tomu, \u017ee bylo \u00fater\u00fd. K obrubn\u00edku kousek od n\u00ed ladn\u011b zajel \u010derven\u00fd jagu\u00e1r a \u010dlov\u011bk, kter\u00fd m\u011bl na starost parkov\u00e1n\u00ed, ihned vysko\u010dil a prob\u011bhl sprintem kolem n\u00ed.
\nKira zahl\u00e9dla Ollieho pe\u010dliv\u011b udr\u017eovan\u00fd praktick\u00fd ford zaparkovan\u00fd na za\u010d\u00e1tku strm\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edjezdov\u00e9 cesty. Vm\u00e1\u010dkla se autem mezi dva mercedesy SUV, zhasla motor a rozhl\u00e9dla se.
\nTo mus\u00ed b\u00fdt ono. Mount Logan. Spole\u010dnost pojmenovan\u00e1 pro Brocku Loganovi, hlavn\u00edm partnerovi pr\u00e1vnick\u00e9 firmy, kter\u00e1 najala Ollieho, aby vy\u0161et\u0159oval jej\u00ed velk\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edpady. Kira si myslela, \u017ee jm\u00e9no odr\u00e1\u017eelo nabub\u0159el\u00e9 ego Brocka Logana, ale te\u010f vid\u011bla, \u017ee se p\u0159inejmen\u0161\u00edm \u010d\u00e1ste\u010dn\u011b m\u00fdlila. Budova se ty\u010dila na vrcholku kopce na rozlehl\u00e9m rohov\u00e9m pozemku a \u010dn\u011bla nad ostatn\u00edmi usedlostmi t\u00e9 nejok\u00e1zalej\u0161\u00ed houstonsk\u00e9 \u010dtvrti.
\nKira nikdy do \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9ho domu v River Oaks nevkro\u010dila, a tak se k jej\u00edm profesion\u00e1ln\u00edm ambic\u00edm p\u0159idala i zv\u011bdavost. Krom\u011b toho, \u017ee si to cht\u011bla vy\u0159\u00edkat s Olliem, tu byla tak\u00e9 proto, aby se trochu hnuly obchody. Byl nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00ed \u010das, aby se sezn\u00e1mila s Ollieho vlivn\u00fdm a d\u016fle\u017eit\u00fdm klientem, kter\u00fd j\u00ed posledn\u00ed t\u0159i roky platil Netflix a japonsk\u00e9 nudlov\u00e9 pol\u00e9vky. Nikdy se s t\u00edm mu\u017eem nesetkala, proto\u017ee Ollie byl rad\u011bji, kdy\u017e se dr\u017eela stranou. Ale tyhle \u010dasy byly nen\u00e1vratn\u011b pry\u010d.
\nPopadla desky a rychle se prohl\u00e9dla ve zp\u011btn\u00e9m zrc\u00e1tku. Mimo\u0159\u00e1dn\u00e1 vlhkost vzduchu j\u00ed v\u016fbec nesv\u011bd\u010dila. Rozmazan\u00e1 \u0159asenka, dlouh\u00e9 tmav\u00e9 vlasy prom\u011bn\u011bn\u00e9 v zacuchanou zm\u011b\u0165. U\u010d\u00edsla je a rty lehce p\u0159ejela rt\u011bnkou. S mokr\u00fdmi \u00fazk\u00fdmi d\u017e\u00edny se nedalo ud\u011blat nic, ale promo\u010den\u00e9 pr\u016fhledn\u00e9 tri\u010dko snad dok\u00e1\u017ee zakr\u00fdt skv\u011ble padnouc\u00edm \u010dern\u00fdm s\u00e1\u010dkem, polo\u017een\u00fdm na zadn\u00edm sedadle. Vym\u011bnila levn\u00e9 \u017eabky za \u010dern\u00e9 p\u00e1skov\u00e9 sand\u00e1ly a zatla\u010dila do dve\u0159\u00ed, kter\u00e9 se s vrznut\u00edm otev\u0159ely.
\nPr\u016ftr\u017e mezit\u00edm polevila, ale d\u00e1l hust\u011b mrholilo a kolem se mihl dal\u0161\u00ed z\u0159\u00edzenec z obsluhy parkov\u00e1n\u00ed. Kousek za n\u00edm sup\u011bl b\u011b\u017eec v promo\u010den\u00e9 mikin\u011b s kapuc\u00ed. Kira po\u010dkala, a\u017e ji mine, a pak vykro\u010dila p\u0159es ulici k Loganovu domu.
\nZdej\u0161\u00ed domy st\u00e1ly na obrovsk\u00fdch pozemc\u00edch a ka\u017ed\u00fd m\u011bl sv\u016fj osobit\u00fd charakter. Vysok\u00e9 b\u00edl\u00e9 sloupy domu po lev\u00e9 stran\u011b Loganovy rezidence p\u0159ipom\u00ednaly mississippsk\u00e9 plant\u00e1\u017ee. Vpravo st\u00e1la starom\u00f3dn\u00ed novoanglick\u00e1 cihlov\u00e1 budova s p\u0159\u00edkrou st\u0159echou, kter\u00e1 nepochybn\u011b hrav\u011b odol\u00e1vala \u010detn\u00fdm houstonsk\u00fdm sn\u011bhov\u00fdm bou\u0159\u00edm. Logan\u016fv rozlehl\u00fd d\u016fm ze \u017elut\u00fdch vep\u0159ovic a se st\u0159echou z \u010derven\u00fdch ta\u0161ek dokonale zapadal do kategorie nevkusn\u00fdch, z m\u00f3dy vy\u0161l\u00fdch kalifornsk\u00fdch rezidenc\u00ed. Obklopovaly jej palmy, ohyzdn\u011b tr\u010d\u00edc\u00ed nad okoln\u00edmi duby, kter\u00e9 daly jm\u00e9no cel\u00e9 oblasti.
\nKira se plaho\u010dila nahoru po dl\u00e1\u017ed\u011bn\u00e9 cest\u011b a vzduch von\u011bl de\u0161t\u011bm a \u010derstv\u011b pose\u010denou tr\u00e1vou. Pro\u0161la mezi dvojic\u00ed betonov\u00fdch lv\u016f na nevelk\u00e9 n\u00e1dvo\u0159\u00ed a zastavila se a\u017e p\u0159ed impozantn\u00edmi vy\u0159ez\u00e1van\u00fdmi d\u0159ev\u011bn\u00fdmi dve\u0159mi.
\nByla u c\u00edle. Brock Logan. Tohle setk\u00e1n\u00ed prost\u011b mus\u00ed zvl\u00e1dnout. Vyt\u00e1hla z kapsy gumi\u010dku, st\u00e1hla si vlasy do cul\u00edku, vypnula hru\u010f a kdy\u017e zm\u00e1\u010dkla tla\u010d\u00edtko zvonku, modlila se, aby to vy\u0161lo.
\nBrock Logan vyd\u011blal jm\u011bn\u00ed t\u00edm, \u017ee obhajoval zazoban\u00e9 klienty obvin\u011bn\u00e9 z v\u00e1\u017en\u00fdch zlo\u010din\u016f. Byly to nanejv\u00fd\u0161 riskantn\u00ed, ale nadm\u00edru dob\u0159e zaplacen\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edpady a Logan\u016fv sou\u010dasn\u00fd projekt byl toho z\u00e1\u0159n\u00fdm p\u0159\u00edkladem: prominentn\u00ed kardiochirurg obvin\u011bn\u00fd z vra\u017edy sv\u00e9 man\u017eelky. Podle teorie ob\u017ealoby byl l\u00e9ka\u0159, kter\u00fd se navenek projevoval velmi kultivovan\u011b, ve skute\u010dnosti n\u00e1silnick\u00fd manipul\u00e1tor. Kdy\u017e mu \u017eena pohrozila, \u017ee ho opust\u00ed, chladnokrevn\u011b ji zabil.
\nZn\u011blo to chytlav\u011b a v\u011brohodn\u011b, trochu jako hran\u00fd dokument v kabelov\u00e9 televizi. Jen\u017ee Logan m\u011bl v \u00famyslu ho sm\u00e9st ze stolu nevyvratiteln\u00fdm alibi: jeho klient pop\u00edjel s kolegou l\u00e9ka\u0159em v golfov\u00e9m klubu whisky pr\u00e1v\u011b v dob\u011b, kdy do\u0161lo k vra\u017ed\u011b.
\nDve\u0159e se trhnut\u00edm otev\u0159ely a na prahu st\u00e1l Ollie ve sv\u00e9 obvykl\u00e9 ko\u0161ili s kr\u00e1tk\u00fdmi ruk\u00e1vy a v tmav\u00fdch kalhot\u00e1ch.

\nKira se rozhl\u00e9dla po kuchyni. \u201eTady bys mohl nava\u0159it pro cel\u00fd regiment.\u201c Ne, \u017ee by byla kdov\u00edjak\u00e1 kucha\u0159ka, \u010dist\u011b jen hypoteticky. \u201eJe v\u016fbec \u017eenat\u00fd?\u201c
\n\u201eRozveden\u00fd.\u201c Ollie obr\u00e1til o\u010di v sloup. \u201eAle vy\u0161el z toho l\u00edp ne\u017e j\u00e1. B\u00fdt pr\u00e1vn\u00edkem se vyplat\u00ed. D\u00e1\u0161 si pivo?\u201c
\n\u201eNechci, d\u00edky. Posly\u0161, m\u00e1me probl\u00e9m.\u201c
\n\u201eVte\u0159inku.\u201c Ollie vyt\u00e1hl z kapsy mobil a zamra\u010den\u011b si p\u0159e\u010detl p\u0159ijatou zpr\u00e1vu. N\u011bco zamumlal a zdvihl hlavu. \u201eO co jde?\u201c
\nKira polo\u017eila desky na ostr\u016fvek. \u201eRobert Peck. P\u0159\u00edtel obvin\u011bn\u00fdho doktora.\u201c
\n\u201eAlibi od kamar\u00e1da z golfu. Co je s n\u00edm?\u201c Ollie s\u00e1hl po l\u00e1hvi piva na ostr\u016fvku a po\u0159\u00e1dn\u011b se napil.
\n\u201eByla jsem v soudn\u00ed budov\u011b a vy\u0161trachala tam jeden star\u00fd rozvod,\u201c prohl\u00e1sila.

\n\u201e\u010ctrn\u00e1ct let.\u201c

\nOllieho v\u00fdraz se nezm\u011bnil.

\nOllie se znovu pod\u00edval na mobil a Kira zask\u0159\u00edpala zuby.<\/p>\n

Koutek \u00fast se mu zvedl do sexy polo\u00fasm\u011bvu a j\u00ed se hned vybavily v\u0161echny f\u00e1my, kter\u00e9 o n\u011bm kolovaly. Logan byl hr\u00e1\u010d, a kdy\u017e ho \u010dlov\u011bk poznal osobn\u011b, nebylo t\u011b\u017ek\u00e9 odhadnout pro\u010d.
\nOde dve\u0159\u00ed se ozvala r\u00e1na. Kira se bleskov\u011b oto\u010dila.
\n\u201eOllie?\u201c
\nRozb\u011bhla se do vestibulu. Le\u017eel tam na z\u00e1dech, nohy rozta\u017een\u00e9, ruku p\u0159itisknutou na prsa, vedle rozlit\u00e9ho piva a hromady st\u0159ep\u016f. Kira si k n\u011bmu klekla. Dostal infarkt? Mrtvi\u010dku?
\nMezi prsty mu prosakovala krev a Ki\u0159e se zadrhl dech.
\n\u201eOllie! Ach bo\u017ee!\u201c<\/em>
\nNa periferii jej\u00edho zorn\u00e9ho pole se n\u011bco pohnulo. Oto\u010dila se t\u00edm sm\u011brem pr\u00e1v\u011b v \u010das, aby uvid\u011bla tmavou postavu, jak sprintuje p\u0159es j\u00eddelnu.
\n\u201eSt\u016fj!\u201c Logan, kter\u00fd p\u0159ib\u011bhl za n\u00ed, vyrazil zp\u00e1tky do kuchyn\u011b, aby vet\u0159elce zastavil.
\nMokr\u00e9 zaklokt\u00e1n\u00ed okam\u017eit\u011b p\u0159it\u00e1hlo jej\u00ed pozornost zp\u011bt k Olliemu. Z \u00fast mu za\u010dala vyt\u00e9kat krev. \u0160okovan\u011b t\u0159e\u0161til o\u010di, kdy\u017e j\u00ed tiskl do dlan\u011b mobil. Byl kluzk\u00fd od krve a s rachotem j\u00ed upadl na podlahu, ne\u017e ho dok\u00e1zala znovu uchopit a vyto\u010dit 911.
\nR\u00e1na v kuchyni. Pak hlasit\u00e9 vyjeknut\u00ed, n\u00e1sledovan\u00e9 dv\u011bma svi\u0161tiv\u00fdmi zvuky. Kira je okam\u017eit\u011b identifikovala.
\nV\u00fdst\u0159ely z pistole s tlumi\u010dem.
\nKousek od n\u00ed se rozlet\u011bla v\u00e1za. N\u011bco ji p\u00edchlo do tv\u00e1\u0159e. Rychle p\u0159eb\u011bhla do ob\u00fdvac\u00edho pokoje, skr\u010dila se za seda\u010dku, a p\u0159itom se bouchla hlavou o okraj stolu.
\nTen vet\u0159elec st\u0159\u00edlel po n\u00ed.<\/em>
\nDal\u0161\u00ed hluk z kuchyn\u011b. Ki\u0159e se na okam\u017eik zastavilo srdce. Byl to Logan? Ten, kdo st\u0159\u00edlel?
\nSna\u017eila se p\u0159inutit mozek k p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161len\u00ed. Telefon v ruce se j\u00ed rozsv\u00edtil a ona si uv\u011bdomila, \u017ee hovor byl spojen. Palcem ztlumila zvuk, p\u0159ikr\u010dila se co nejn\u00ed\u017e a sna\u017eila se nevydat ani hl\u00e1sku. Kde je ten st\u0159elec? Kousek po kousku se p\u0159esunula ke konci pohovky a opatrn\u011b vykoukla. V hale vid\u011bla jen Ollieho. Neh\u00fdbal se.
\nKira se plazila zp\u00e1tky k n\u011bmu a modlila se, aby z\u016fstal zticha, a vz\u00e1p\u011bt\u00ed se nen\u00e1vid\u011bla za to, v co douf\u00e1. Jeho tv\u00e1\u0159 byla uvoln\u011bn\u00e1 a popelav\u011b b\u00edl\u00e1. Rychle si svl\u00e9kla sako a p\u0159itla\u010dila mu ho na temn\u011b rudou skvrnu na prsou.
\nOllie, pros\u00edm.<\/em>
\nZe zadn\u00ed \u010d\u00e1sti domu se oz\u00fdvaly dal\u0161\u00ed r\u00e1ny, zat\u00edmco se zoufale sna\u017eila zastavit krv\u00e1cen\u00ed, ale mokr\u00e1 l\u00e1tka u\u017e za\u010dala prosakovat.
\nKi\u0159e se sev\u0159el \u017ealudek, kdy\u017e si p\u0159edstavila, \u017ee se k n\u00ed zezadu p\u0159ibli\u017euje zabij\u00e1k a vp\u00e1l\u00ed j\u00ed kulku do hlavy. Ruce m\u011bla \u0161pinav\u00e9 od krve, tepl\u00e9 a lepkav\u00e9, a za\u010d\u00ednala panika\u0159it. Tohle p\u0159ece nem\u016f\u017ee b\u00fdt skute\u010dn\u00e9. Znovu se pod\u00edvala na telefon v nad\u011bji, \u017ee hovor sleduj\u00ed. Nezav\u011bsili, ale m\u011bla ztlumen\u00fd zvuk. Kdyby se st\u0159elec objevil nabl\u00edzku, necht\u011bla upoutat jeho pozornost.
\nOllie, no tak. Otev\u0159i o\u010di.<\/em>
\nNeh\u00fdbal se. Nemrkal. Nevyd\u00e1val \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9 zvuky. I zbytek domu se pono\u0159il do ticha. Modlila se, aby se st\u0159elec nevr\u00e1til. Utekl zadn\u00edmi dve\u0159mi? Nebo se ukr\u00fdval v jin\u00e9 \u010d\u00e1sti domu? Kde byl sakra Logan? P\u0159edstavila si ho mrtv\u00e9ho v kuchyni a krev j\u00ed tuhla v \u017eil\u00e1ch.
\nV\u0161ude bylo ticho. P\u0159\u00edli\u0161 ticho. Jedin\u00fd zvuk vyd\u00e1valo jej\u00ed zb\u011bsile bu\u0161\u00edc\u00ed srdce.
\nNeum\u00edrej. Neum\u00edrej. Neum\u00edrej.<\/em>
\nZlov\u011bstn\u00e9 ticho pro\u0165alo pronikav\u00e9 zaje\u010den\u00ed.<\/p>\n
