The Replacements Henrai

"Great! Daniel Gindraux, 2002, detective fiction, Chapter 8.

CHAPTER 8

At six o'clock in the morning he left the apartment. The girl was still asleep. In the street he walked to the Gare du Nord. He took a leisurely pace to watch the sun rise. A sun that was to rise with him, and not wait. Because he always said: the world belongs to those who stand together on the day. Came the buffet of the Gare du Nord. A simple counter, two pinball machines, a server and several alcoholics. In this gray morning, he ordered a coffee and a view looking out of the first passengers on commuter trains. Busy people going to their work. In the second coffee, Marius had not told words. He did not want to cause anyone. At seven o'clock in the morning, the hour of grace. The end of the world. The sun rose and the station was filled ... After completing his third coffee, Marius went out. A quiet approach freezing cold. The temperature did not exceed ten degrees. A spring still uncertain. Instead of taking the subway, he walked towards the bow of the defense ... At this point, it was difficult to know what was happening in his mind, but in his march, the streets began to lead him to his destiny. A street, avenue, and another street. Thirty minutes later, the defense was close ... A set of building visible from afar. A shopping center, research, commerce, and for him: his destiny. It was clear at that moment, looking Marius something. Maybe Paris! As he walked without trying to understand. Walk without selling. An application in his divine duty. Heavy steps, coarse and expectations at the lights, looking down on people. Fifteen minutes later he came to the defense. Then he climbed the grand central staircase. It took him to the Arc de Triomphe. Steps taken one by one. Above, as the entrance hall had just opened, he entered immediately. Came the second level. He leaned on the fence. Almost a look of depression. The bitterness. Heart. Hold on! By displaying a certain habit, he glanced at the crowd hurrying, walking to get from one point to another. The morning rush. After a quarter of an hour, he rose and walked to the Blue Side. He approached the counter, the young waiter wiped the coffee cups. He bowed as he was already one of the regulars. Marius ordered a coffee. The young man avoided dwelling on his person and served. Came a new expectation. Gaze to the lobby and a coffee cools.
Under the boat of this atmosphere of eternal day of eternal night, nobody could say why Marius liked it. A climate resembling perhaps a casino, and departing from the world, and do not lingering. Peccadilloes unnecessary stores on hold, because personalities are grateful to attending, counters clean, windows to maintain a life in the shadows or a new life. The near future, namely the underground world. In this decorum, Marius watched the lobby for a good thirty minutes. Some leaned over the counter customers to drink their coffee, but still no Daniel. - Tell me! You know the little Daniel? The server was waiting idly. - Breakfast! Yes of course! In principle it should already be there.
Marius turned to him. - Why is not there today? - When Olivier is not there, Daniel is not there. Marius interested ... - Ah! They are still together? The server did not seem interested in this discussion. He was even surprised that Marius did not know better than him. - Ben! In principle, they both sleep in the same place. Behind the exit south. Near exhausts hot air. Marius was surprised ... - Oh! Marius looked at the server in the eye, but it left him very quickly and landed another client. Marius was confused. He let him take control. When he turned to the coffee machine, he said. - And it is where the south exit? The server replied without looking back ... - Opposite, on the other corridor, next to the shop Zazou! Confess that initially, Marius still had to stay a while, a little chat, but the temptation was too strong. Then he left, turned and started walking. Came a quiet approach. He walked along the shops of the corridor. At the edge of the stage giving the above the first level, he turned south, joins the other lane, and thirty yards away, he paused before the shop Zazou. It was a lingerie shop, at first sight very interesting. But Marius did not linger. In addition, a small hallway going south. He forced himself to continue his journey. The corridor was much as sixty meters in length. He drove there and found himself facing a door. A big double doors. Arriving with her, he did not wait and opened it. It opened outwards. Outside, the clouds covered the sky. Once in the open air, he noticed a bundle of clothes and blankets dragging on the ground. The hot air outlet was located at one meter above. An inhabited place, but not so dirty as that ... In the middle of this pile, a person was lying. A young man, but not Daniel. As it had just woken up, Marius approached it. The hot air emitted a warm spring. - Hi! Young was not afraid. He replied ... - Hi! As Marius had discussed, he stooped. - Tell me! I am looking for Oliver and Daniel. You know they have slept here last night? - Why, you're a cop? Marius smiled ... - Have you seen my quickdraw! The man looked at him a moment. A young man coming straight from the province. He replied ... - The latest news, Olivier is the hole, and Daniel left yesterday evening! Marius Daniel ... interested in - Where is he gone? - Last night we made a theory that it was better to live in the south, then it broke. - Oh! Before resuming, Marius watched the scene a short time, just to get an idea of the environment. - And you are much sleep here? - Fifteen! - Ah! He got up ... - And Daniel, you said exactly where he intended to go? The young man did not really want to answer him, but he did not care ... - We were told it was possible to make the round in St. Tropez. Ecstasy! - In Saint-Tropez? - Yeah! - Well! As the young did not talk too much, Marius looked a few seconds, and turned around. He then joined the door, and wanting to push it, it resisted. Then the young man's voice rang ... - This is an emergency exit! To go back in, you should do the trick.

** Nobody knows if Marius had been saddened by the loss of his two comrades, but instead of returning to the lobby, he branched off toward the avenue leading to the Arc de Triomphe. The same avenue, the same trees, the same houses and also the house of the fifties. Past the remains of the lady, the temptation became insightful, but he forced himself to continue. His gait was quick and his face was cold. Ten minutes later, he walked on the floor of the town of Neuilly. There he did not stop, and later he joined the Arc de Triomphe. The place was packed. Many cars and thousands of tourists. In the presence this roundabout, he walked around and then discovered the Champs Elysees. The famous avenue! Shops, boutiques and perhaps three thousand people. Certainly one would think that his approach, at this moment, would return to normal. But this was not the case, he skirted without stopping. Judgments as to fires, and nothing else. Came to the Place de la Concorde. Still a place full of cars. There, he branched off on the Rue de Rivoli. Thirty feet, and when he realized he already knew this road, it slows down. A common history! A bass: Three Olives! Initially, Marius thought that Daniel was lying there in this bar. Why not! A Drink Before St. Tropez! An invitation to go and check. Take a glance to be sure, and also for a coffee. Why not! The bar was not far, then heaped them. A bar-smoking! He turned the street proper. Twenty yards away, he entered the lob. He closed the door behind him, he checks if a group of young people do not accidentally dragged the back of the room, but nobody distinguished. A counter in front, a dozen people before, but not Daniel. No small head. But staring at the characters, he suddenly saw the hindquarters of a man he knew. The man drank a shot. A celebrity. It was bucket! Certainly he knew the man but for him it was a real opportunity. He went up immediately. A pat on the shoulder to wake him. Bucket turned and took a little scary. - Hello! - Bucket Hi! Marius looked down. - You walk around here? Drank a beer bucket. He did not want that! The great cordially invited him to speak. A diplomat! - You've planned another coup! Bucket did not air ... - No! - What are you doing here then? - The bar serves a hotel. I have a room upstairs. - Oh! Marius still looked tall. He also had a drink and demonstrate its power. In addition, a pie, it is not forgotten! - Why Jennifer Monrose? Bucket became uncertain. He knew the fool. - Ben. It's artistic! Dada. I would also do advertising. - Oh! We knew that if Marius had seized him, but he mastered. Behind them, a lady drinking coffee. He turned toward her, and returned. - Well! Ben pays me a coffee then! Bucket dared not refuse. He called the server and ordered a beer and a coffee. Marius turned to the lady again. Glass and cup to them, "said Marius ... - Jennifer, she also lives in Paris? - No, I think not! Marius swallowed his first sip and settled down beside him. He had Jennifer in mind, but also the lady. - You know his address? Bucket did not know. - No ... - How does it not? Drank his beer cup and Marius pressed his back to the counter. A better position to observe the lady. - Let me answer! You knew it was coming and you also know where does she live! Is not it! Bucket was embarrassed. To comfort him, "said Marius ... - Look at the lady in front of me! Bucket turned ... - It! I'll do it. She is ready to go. Please answer! The lady was wearing a coat fur. Fifty, heavily made-up, she rose and Godet seemed embarrassed. - You know! I'll do it and I know I can afford it. Is not it! Bucket dared not answer. The lady had left his seat and walked toward the exit. - Come Bucket! Bucket watched the lady. She opened the door and left. The snap lock anima Marius. - Come Bucket! But still no answer ...
**
Saturday morning. Fasi woke up with the mouth of drinks. He showered, taking his time and shaved. Later he ingested a aspirin. It was already noon. The man was not hungry. He decided never to drink his life. More Never! About one o'clock he left his apartment. No sooner he buckled his lock, the door opened, Eleanor. It also emerged. She seemed happy again. - Fasi Hi! How will you? - Well! And you? - Super! You know I'm thinking about what you said. I even think twice. And I think you're right, I must check myself and I live with a man in the greatest respect. You have to love that's true! And do not just make love. Fasi suddenly felt good in a skin. The girl looked at him tenderly. She smiled. She found her love and her former happiness. - You're right! We must take advantage good time in life. - Fasi You're right! And that's what I intend to do. Yesterday I met a wonderful man. And we decided to live full of things together. - Oh! It's Good! The man left the room. He bowed Fasi. Be a common, nothing special. He had just kissed and seemed relieved. - We start from elsewhere in Deauville for the weekend. There are going to walk on the beach. We just book a room in a small hotel. What life! - Good! Fasi's face was changing again. Outside the weather was not up to its ambitions. Narbonne beach lacked. The Fasi new couple bowed and left. The man remained on the landing. The disfigured face! The couple borrowed the elevator. Fasi but could no longer move. Her headache recurred. He wanted to vomit. He wanted to return to his room and watch TV.

** A minute later, Marius pursued the lady. She climbed on the street three hundred meters. Before the door of a building rather classy, she stopped and rummaged in her bag. Marius intervened at this point. - Bonjour Madame! Marius is me! You have insight earlier in the bar, is not it? The lady, seeing this huge structure fall on him, took a little fear. - Yes! But excuse me, I do not know you! - Now it is! He offered her his best smile ... Of course the woman had seen others, but it interferes surprised. She wanted to see him go. - And you want? - Ben! Invite me a drink at home! For me it is not hurt! The lady was frightened, but his temperament old thief feelings surpassed everything else. - Ben! I do not know what to say. - Ben say yes! The woman blushed. She had her keys in hand. Slowly, she opened the door ... His power
surpassed everything else. Marius then invited to enter. The woman said nothing. She let him do it. She became even any shy. In the elevator: silence. In the third they came out. The woman then invited to enter his apartment. A salon-style chic. A beautiful wooden floors, large TV, a large cupboard full of books and a kitchen. - It's very chic! Marius shut the door. The woman removed her coat. - Yes, thank you! Then she placed her coat. Marius watched the room. - Ben! Sit only! What do you want to drink? Marius returned to her. A big smile, always friendly. - Ben champagne why not! In front of his answer, the lady remained agitated for a few seconds. Surprise! The big surprise. What answer? Say yes, say no? Let go. The embarrassment was visible on his face. The face of a noble woman, perhaps pretentious. His response ... - If you want! Despite her embarrassment, she looked into his eyes for a few seconds and said ... - Well! Wait for me here then! I'll go see if I have. She left him ... The woman left the room and Marius settled on the big chair. Watching television, he grabbed the remote and started channel surfing. Chains marched. The contention of the kiss. First stop on Paris. A story about people who clean the Eiffel Tower. Later, still waiting ... During the first thirty seconds, he concentrated on television, after he began to think. His annoyance returned. The bitterness. The woman would soon return, but another story worked his mind, his reason itched. That of Olivier, in prison, perhaps that of Daniel, Saint-Tropez. One reason for this power, stronger than everything else, stronger than its existence. His thinking led him to not change the channel, and whether it really looked on TV, nobody could tell. His vision on chasing. An irresistible misunderstanding. Perhaps himself. - I managed to find a bottle! The woman awoke. She was holding a bottle and two glasses in hand. She smiled and Marius turned painfully to her. - Nope! The woman became agitated ... - Why not? Marius was no longer smiling ... - Well no, it can not go! The woman suddenly felt embarrassed. - And why? Marius was already rising. She was waiting ... - Well, because there are bucket! The woman did not understand ... - How does Bucket? Marius was standing and looked poorly. - Bucket Yeah, I was with him earlier! **

Afternoon Fasi had no moral, but decided Nevertheless, in order to walk out a little. He went out, walked up to the Bois de Boulogne. Greyness. The rain began to fall. The cold enveloped his body. He thought first to Claire. He thought also of Shepherd. Eleanor took the third position. In the wood, walked a few beadles. Nothing important! Fasi saw the defense. Narbonne when he left, he decided to work up. He had given ten years to succeed. He had saved his money and position. Thirty-five years he wanted to return to the south to buy a house and live quietly. But once arrived in Paris, he realized that sex was predominant all its previous values. A force, naval defense grew. Edge of the woods, a bar-tabac interested him. He approached it. He went inside and ordered a coffee. **
Marius avoided discussing any longer with the lady. He descended the stairs, he avoided the elevator. Outside, the heat n'agrémentait not buy happiness. A fine rain began to wet the ground. Busy misunderstandings, Marius returned to the Three Olives. A pompous atmosphere! Before, he avoided looking inside bucket if ever drank, and went on ... Then came the Rue de Rivoli. Tired pretensions he borrowed. The path leading to the Place Vendome. The same streets to cross. He then came to this area, but avoid dwelling. The man was nervous, but her gait was restored. A hundred yards away, the sidewalk continued through a long courtyard. The rain had increased his pace. The floor was soaked. Some people began to run. He entered the arcade and hair were sound of rain starting to make the city unattractive to pedestrians. The arcade of the Rue de Rivoli is known as Paris. It runs along the entire length of the Louvre. Of tourist shops line up like candles. Inside, we can find a lot of gadgets, such as representation of the Eiffel Tower in miniature, towels, t-shirts, photographs, postcards, books and pens. Finally, everything you need to satisfy some customers, a certain taste. Throughout the world, Marius avoided stop. He continued to search for that source. This material liquefying! The top of the world! The measured two-meter man two. Then, thirty-five centimeters above the overall average female and twenty-five inches taller than the average male. What prove its power, superiority and its undeniable strength of conviction. The man surpassing all heads and above the horizon, when large crowds! Many tourists came to take refuge under the arcade. Thus, in some places, they blocked the passage. Marius had to slow down. Passages painful because people do not care about the person. They looked straight ahead. They walked after her. A unanimous concern, a man in the city and loved looking at himself, but did not recognize each other.
After two hundred yards, the population became more dispersed. Marius found its speed booster. The shops have changed their style. Tourism to the silk dress. Eiffel tower in china wool sweater two miles francs. Moreover, the faces! Less annoying and even more gallant. In his coming, although several women passed beside him, looking at him. He could stop, but avoid redundancy. He tried to look straight ahead. When someone bothered her power, by avoiding, only his eyes lowered to follow suit. The feat of a body so as not to disturb. Came the end of the tunnel. The rain subsided. The arcade was ending. He went out, crossed the Sebastopol Avenue and continued to arrive on the Place du Chatelet. He crossed it without really looking. The island near St. Louis, he also avoided watching. A However s'advenant place to be animated, but the man tried not to go falling in love. A look at a horizon irascible. Head upright and slender process. The man in the city. Tall, handsome, but obsessed with the power of the government. After the Chatelet, he passed the Hotel de Ville. At this level, just a look, time to see something else. Later he belittled his head, he lined up properly again, two meters high. At that moment he began to see the Place de la Bastille in the distance. This view justified the parody of his dreams.

** If the police officer responsible for monitoring TV of the Bastille had been privileged to observe Marius, he would have seen a great man, very straight and tall. The man came from Chatelet. Zooming in on him he could glimpse his nervousness. The lines drawn, the desire to scream and make a new meeting. A hatred that Marius had hidden, but which required at every step to make his personality inadequate in relation to those around him. A look at the camera in the middle of the square and the man continued. On the other hand, he paused to fire. While the officer was changing view, Marius waited quietly. Then came the green, he crossed and went into the last avenue before Gare de Lyon. The Avenue was not very long and Marius did not stop. Peristyle at the station, he climbed on the crack leading to it and a few minutes later, he entered the lobby.
The station was crowded, but it was his habit. A buffet with a terrace, a kiosk, a dozen station and a large bundle of people looking at the big billboard placed in front of the first ways. As Marius knew what was up a station, he had no hesitation in his gait and walked on the side of crates. They were on his left, in another hall, a little smaller. There twenty crates lined up against the west wall. The crowd was more or less scattered, so half-empty boxes. As Marius were traveling south, he headed the appropriate boxes. When he landed a free, a little lady received him. She wore glasses as wide as the width of his head. Short stature. A small body. But see, a free girl because a girl who seemed to dislike being touched. - Bonjour Madame! Marius had the look down. - Hello Mister! Came the touch ... - The next train to Geneva from what time? The woman listened to him through a microphone. The atmosphere perfect! She tapped the word Geneva on the keys of his computer. A hesitation, and replied. - In a quarter of an hour! Marius did not hesitate, it ... - Well! Then a second class ticket, non-smoker, and aisle. The woman was surprised, but she does not think. She printed the ticket, a minute later he paid, and two minutes later he said goodbye. From quick! From too quickly! His ticket in hand, he walked to the train bound for Geneva. A TGV. A normal pace. When he arrived at the dock, it controls what car number was written on his ticket. A small light unspeakable. The ticket to a forty meter high and peak eye-like screeching. It was his car ...
**
Fasi arrived on the esplanade of the defense. The tourists had stormed. Below the mall was not too buoyant. He hesitated to make a turn. But down there he was bored. Each afternoon he was leaving to play video games in the entertainment room. But there was still never too long. Even his clothes he did not buy there. Maybe not to cross and Claire Berger. The two women often visited fashion boutiques. For Fasi, fashion, this institution was often the ideal of extravagant, then he refrained. In fact, the ideal of Fasi was presented in the form of a country house, surrounded by olive trees and chickens. Certainly he had the station area of Narbonne, but the campaign had never left his mind. She remained in him as perfect qu'exutoire to question themselves. **

The train seemed very calm. A line-peak. Nobody had booked beside Marius. The seat was empty and his sleep reached its climax when the train was able to accelerate to its normal pace. In this silence, Marius dream almost. See something else, stars, women and arcs in the sky. The dream before sleep. The altercation between the non-existent and the enthusiasm of power dream. The train pushed the soul to feel anything but the emotion he feels when he starts sleeping in a place suitable for the occasion. Nobody knows what Marius had been dreaming sleep well, but when the train stopped in Lyon, he opened his eyes. The station was hot but the train does not satisfy. Rather, is always full. A more or less empty train bound for Geneva. Certainly, rubbing his eyes, behind the windows, he did not feel the atmosphere. The car was broken and overheated. Almost the Orient Express stops in order to fuel up. The train remained off for fifteen minutes, and he left. Thirty miles a plateau authorized him to accelerate, and as soon as the first hills surrounded him, we could see the Alps. Deceleration came ... The hills, small mountains, valleys and tunnels. The peristyle of Switzerland! Although he comes from the region, he suddenly became interested in landscape. Meadows for cows to cow pastures, buildings, isolated farms, villages and two saves in two small towns. During the journey, no one could tell whether a certain enthusiasm immobilized. A certain nostalgia. But one thing is certain, the man remained standing nose to the glass almost to Switzerland. The wandering the fuss. Unimaginable! A look into the distance and a return to things more tacit. The stations of villages, valleys in the distance and the first peaks further. Se
are customs that dérangèrent. Marius showed them his identity card. They controlled very quickly. As it came from the region, they did not press him. French customs and the Swiss customs. An acquired habit. A common area and mountains. Came to Geneva! A city still in the cold. Already Switzerland. The train stopped at the railway station. Marius left the car and followed the crowd to lobby. In his approach, he tried to guess what could well change between a French and a train station in Switzerland. A fun convincing. When he arrived in the main hall, he realized: it was the commercials. Chocolate and cheese everywhere! On every wall and all references. A real desire to eat. A bite, because let's face that Marius, in these times, do not eat much. Finally! Just a detail, because he did not stay long in this station. Once out of the sub-path leading to the docks, he crossed the hall and went out. Outside, a breeze came banging on his cheeks, he does not care ... and continued to know if he knew of Geneva, the answer was very difficult to conceive. But Marius in his foolhardiness, took without delay to the west. He walked with a heavy, some, or even serious. An approach to the seemingly quiet, but in a clear entity, a goal! As the center of the city lay to the south, over five hundred meters, the density of houses worth a downtown. Further, the first houses, the first trees and gardens established themselves first. Opposite Lake Leman. A lake that does not spark, but as the fog had invaded its center, the horizon was identified with a sea Maybe the Black Sea. After the first kilometer, studious homes invaded space. The chic, contemporary styles. To each his own small garden and two cars. Cars scattered. A certain calm. Near a junction which required the road to the west down to the lake, Marius hesitated a little. It controls the naming of streets, watched the horizon and the lake. A few seconds later, he said, turning toward the north. A small street in a neighborhood serene and new family homes. The road climbed a bit. A slight slope. Marius applied himself. He also inspected the house numbers. A chain, but also a number he had in mind. An address he knew. Almost a walk, because nobody attended the street. He and he alone advanced, followed, pursued and wanted. He borrowed on this street two hundred meters. In passing the garden of a very beautiful house, it slows down a bit. She was certainly beautiful, but her face suddenly became very specific and frowned. The great discovery in full and also full of countenance. Then came the house itself. A poorly maintained garden front, a white iron fence, a row of bushes between the two neighboring houses and beige walls, painted recently. The house was home to two floors. Racolées two large windows in the center, a third later. On the first floor, two windows to overlap with the roof. A typical Swiss style. A roof wood with brown tiles. Realizing that he had arrived, Marius became nervous. However, he walked quietly to the door of the gate, opened it and entered directly into the garden. And launched his muscles tétanisèrent and his heart beat violently. Contempt! An extremely powerful inner rage. Of sweat all over his body. A cold shower. The front door was located on the left side. It went up quickly and immediately, it rang. Came an unbearable wait. The man does not bear more. The rage in my stomach! While the door was not opened immediately. He had to wait over a minute. A minute terrible, unimaginable! Then came footsteps. From within. They approached the entrance, and slowly the door opened ...
soon as she saw the man, the girl was frightened directly. A horrified face! His right hand was holding the door. She tried to close it, but the man won the race. He put his left hand over so she could no longer grow. In through a terrible trance, she then stepped back quickly. She had run away to retrace his steps! But as her irritation became so omnipotent, backwards, his back bumped against the wall. A rush to turn around, but it is at this moment that the man intercepted. It was dark and she attacked him in grabbing the neck. A tough decision to stop the girl. A steady hand and accurate! A gloved hand which forced the girl to begin to struggle. The first cries. Those mean horror. Rabies! The man had grabbed her. As the left hand of the girl tried to snatch and the other to prevent its power to impose, he knocked violently against his hand. A move that forced the hand of the girl to fall, and it's also at that moment he struck the first blow. A terrible uppercut that took the girl screaming. She struggled well but could not get rid of that hand. Then the man struck again! A terrible shock nevertheless took the girl to lift her hand against him. Specifically to his hood. But a little hand too fragile that freed quickly to knock again. A blow so powerful that the man was finally able to grip properly to stifle it. A girl almost fried on. Soon a coma! A falling body and a voice that could no longer be required. The fourth shot came. The fifth. The girl let down its members, bobbing his head and under this pressure, the man knocked again. Three more blows, to coma. The body drop.
few seconds later, the man closed the door on half of its distance Max. He noticed the body of the girl who did not flee, then he stepped back and shut the door completely. The door slammed and he found the girl's face. Above it, as it roared, he bent down and sent him several more punches. Blows that brought drops of blood to flow, especially his nose. He then got up and checked around him if one arrived. But no! Then he grabbed. He lifted her and took her to the center of the house. The girl was unresponsive. A large living room covered the entire surface, opposite the kitchen, the bedroom door below the stairs and on his left. When the man arrived in the epicenter of the room, he observed how quickly the furniture had been arranged. Three quick movements of the head and the hood, which was itching already. Then, in view of his intentions, he brought the girl to the stairs. He passed, pulled his body and climbed up. The girl was very slight. He ascended to the next level very quickly. The first door was opened. It was located next door. Noticing that it was the bathroom, he went inside. He then brought the body against the bathtub, placed his head on it, held it with one hand and the other, he opened the tap. Came gushing. He inserted the plug and waited. The girl started to wake up. A few seconds later the water had taken shape at the bottom of the bowl. As she began to wake up, he sent three more blows to his neck. Of blows which made her fall down. A woman almost died ... A few seconds later to finish according to his wishes, he lifted it, he put his body in the bathtub, took his head and thrust it into the water. When
resented his nostrils with water, the girl tried to struggle, but the man kept it firmly. The water was rising. His head immersed himself completely. The man was waiting. Maybe a minute. Below, a body still awaiting the end. Man does not timing, but as the girl was not moving, he kept a minute longer. An additional minute. Both arms outstretched and a look completely devoid of feelings. As the water overflowed, he let her go. Then he cut off water and undressed. He tore his shirt, dress, socks and underwear. The naked girl, he lifted his body and immersed in water. The face of a dead woman for the indomitable spirit of man. Came the end. The naked girl in water begins to glow, he stuck his head and waited. Detention perceptive man wanted to be sure of his death. A mandatory death and certain death under water, because man had no ability to control the beating of his pulse. His gloves prevented this insurance to be moved. ** In principle

Fasi was not working Saturday, but that day he walked around. So he decided to visit his office, just for fun. He found the entrance hall. Goalkeeper. The access card. Later he waited patiently outside the elevator. The place was empty. Silence. Only on rare beadles passed. The testimony of overtime. The elevator door finally opened. He entered the first, a man followed him. Both doors were shut. The elevator climbed. But the cage suddenly stopped. Failure. The man pressed the emergency button. The keeper replied. Fasi waiting behind. The man did not look like a businessman too. The goalkeeper then asked them to wait, it should call the picket stores. They were to arrive in half an hour. The time would be long. - We have no luck today! The man turned toward Fasi. - My name is Frank! - My name Fasi! Delighted! They shook hands and the man sat down. Fasi seemed dazed. He would not sit down. He thought of Claire and Eleanor Berger. This seemed preposterous. He had never worked on Saturdays. By Franck cons it solves. He grabbed his files and began to work. - You work here? - Yes! In the twelfth! - I just started! In the eighth! I just arrived from Toulouse with my boyfriend. Yesterday we went out to the Marais. Nothing compared to the south. - Oh! Fasi sat. It was a bit surprised. The man in front of him had not gone to Paris, but with her boyfriend. This story intrigued him. He wanted to know!

** It is difficult to say whether the man was pleased, but now the girl's head under water, it remained for a good five minutes to watch, to observe his death appear on the traits of his personality. Eyes that were opened. An open mouth. Dementia! When he got up before leaving the room, he looked at himself in the mirror for a few seconds. May be proud. Eye to eye. The neck wound. Later he went down again. Below, the man returned directly to the door. Before he turned to the chamber, inspected it for a few seconds, and removed his hood. Her mouth open air, he blew a good shot. The breath of the devil. Red eyes. Clenched jaw. He opened the door and fled. The man had just killed! Marius had just killed. The perfect crime. No witnesses, so no evidence. The girl named Jennifer Monrose. She began her career as a model five years ago. She had just been hired by a French television. A little gem, very adorable. She had just celebrated his twenty-two years. The

night, fidgeted on a girl's body. He looked at his face, but could not say whether it was that the other day or Grenoble. The girl indulged in his desires, clinging to his body roared, breathing oscillation, a little blonde or a brunette, he did not know. He did not know. His bed, his shower, his wife and another woman. Lots of women, stack, to identify, align as the army, and to wait. Trying to make them cry, make them sick at heart, not caring, having no opinion. A life in turmoil with his wishes, his desires, that take and give nothing. Rather, believe that a man like him can give, to offer her body for cuddles, touching untold kisses offered free gifts, her body shaped cake icing sugar, each woman has the opportunity touching once in his life. A vow made by redundancy and gained prosperity depends on its authorization, its law and its everyday desires. The handsome and strong. Being master. **

Fasi worked all day without taking breaks. He thought Eleanor. His work became his libido. He labored to forget. Yet the man did not even late. At noon he ate his sandwich and four hours he drank his coffee while reading the newspaper. At six o'clock it was preparing to leave. He kept his place. Berger came against him, he saw it coming. - How are you Fasi? Good? Usually, to this hour, Berger came to him and leave files behind. The woman had to go and Fasi remained to finish the job. But that day, she had other intentions. - Yes! - By the way! Claire, we go eat at St. Michel. You come with us? Surprise! It was the first time! Berger was serious. They were not kidding. Claire had surely leave her boyfriend. She wanted out. They also thought Fasi. For the second time! It was not too soon. Fasi was able to leave the center of Paris with two women. He dared not refuse! - Yes! Why not! - So you end up thirty six hours in the parking lot. Claire came to work by car. Thirty minutes later the three people found themselves towards the car. Fasi was getting into. During the journey, the two women discussed without noticing the man. Claire herded quite a distance from Saint-Michel. Despite the cold, they marched peacefully to the restaurant. Berger chose a Greek restaurant. They sat at a table in the center of the dining room. The server knew Berger. Another successful meeting! They ordered the dinner menu. - You've finally left! You'll finally be able to live! - Do not talk like that! It was not as defects. In the story, Fasi felt useless. He listened, and nothing else. Shepherd rejoiced at this new misfortune. Claire always dared not believe it. They savored a bottle of Greek wine. Coffee, the tongue was loosened. Fasi began to participate in the discussion. They ordered a liqueur. The server offered them coffee. He invested in equities Berger. Fasi would pay the entire bill, but the women intervened. Colleagues, everyone pays their share. About eleven o'clock they left the restaurant. Berger had organized the evening. She knew a club nearby. Claire did not dare refuse. Ten minutes later they reached the club. Obviously, the bouncer knew Berger. The praise of man to the woman clearly reveals that intimate relationship had assembled. She nevertheless presented his two colleagues. Ten minutes later they Berger unearthed a table. The atmosphere began to be moved. A small room very dark. Later they decided to order a bottle of whiskey. Berger left to greet the world. The brunette began to burst. She moved her ass the very cute! Fasi served Claire. They were alone. - So it's over! - Fasi Yes! But I regret nothing. I do likelihood of revival Never! - It's your choice! Claire had a hard time getting into the mood. She was not out for two years. Man took his figure of the torturer. Berger encouraged to take the step to get out. Claire the second glass clears his thoughts. She was bored and wanted to talk. Fasi service rendered. The man could not be definitely set the mood. Yet tubes discos circulating in people's minds. - He tied me in bed! He asked me to do ... while watching football matches. - I sympathize! - The bastard! Fasi had nothing to say to that. He wanted to kiss her. Take her in his arms, but she talked like we talk about cars. The situation was comical. He drank his glass just watching the girls pass him. Thirty minutes later Berger rejoined the group. She apologized for her absence. She had had a drink and was also tipsy. Fasi he filled a glass. They made healthy. Claire took place at the center. The two women resumed their discussion. Fasi sought nothing but clear, without really realizing it, his legs stuck to his. Fasi even felt embarrassed. He saw the hour approached. The time for flowers. Later he went to relieve himself. When he found his Instead, Claire had disappeared. Berger expected. He had no other choice but to speak. - The evening is going well? - Well! And for you? Berger wanted to have fun. She smiled at Fasi. A new confidant moved into the house. It was a good sign! - So! Claire you like her? - Yes! It is to my taste. - And me! I please you? Berger had been drinking. She teased. - Yes! I like you! You're my taste! - So You like blondes and brunettes! - Yes! Berger laughed. She put her hand on the leg Fasi. Found his glass. Finished his whiskey. Fasi filled the glasses measure. The room was full. The atmosphere was in full swing. Claire danced in the center of the runway. She thus avoided the bottom of a bottle. Berger approached gently Fasi. She searched for words, but nothing came to him. Fasi patient the best time to attack. In fact, he waited for the opportunity. He did not care if the girl was blonde or brunette! Fasi later Berger offered to go dancing. She refused! She relied on his alcohol abuse. Claire sat down. She seemed out of breath! Perspiration dripping down his shot made it really attractive. Fasi wanted to kiss him, he expected it. Time span, yet few drinks and the game was won. Fasi filled the glasses. Berger suddenly rose. She returned to the entrance. The doorman called. It had something to ask! Claire asked him to lower doses. Yet the bottle was crumbling. Fasi was healthy. He approached. Claire took a sip. She began to understand his game Given the prolonged absence of Berger, Fasi approached Claire. The girl drank the whole glass nicely. She thought. She hesitated. Fasi then realized what time it was enthusiasm for life. Almost a moment of glory! - I come back! - Yes! Of course! This reflection Fasi unexpected surprise. It reads suddenly. A few seconds later she got up. Why? Yet the atmosphere was catchy. But she decided to leave. She must surely go to the bathroom! Fasi thought! But Claire took a different direction. She walked to the bar and landed a man who seemed to be alone. Claire had certainly spotted a long time! From the outset, it appeared. The man offered him a drink. She accepted with joy. She smiled to the fullest. She seemed pleased and happy! Fasi then decided to go to the bathroom. He took his time. When he returned the chair was still empty! He sat down and finished his glass. Claire laughed. The man advantage. Fasi finished his drink quietly. It was time for him to return. But Berger came out of nowhere. She sat down. - Or is it? - At the bar! - Ah! Berger observed the bar. She saw Claire and her new friend. The man had the pace. Handsome, well-hung. Claire had good taste! The same values it! - She knows? - I do not think so! At this point, Fasy wondered whether he should attack Berger. The girl had more than getting drunk. She wanted to talk. A new opportunity emerged. But man, with his recent failure in the legs, gradually mummified. Berger hesitated a long time. She was watching Claire. Surely not to confront the eyes Fasi. - She met him on the dance floor? - No! I think not! - She met him like that then? - It seems to me! - It does not interfere with the child! Berger had changed. Earlier she was laughing and having fun. But now she resumed her life as a serious woman. This situation was becoming embarrassing! The austere colleague stared at her. Fasi did not know what to do! He finished his drink. He also looked to the bar. Berger inspecting the situation. She watched the dance floor. Stared at a lot of faces. As if it sought someone! A few minutes later she turned to Fasi. - You will excuse me two minutes, I'm off soon to the bar and come back. - Yes! Sure. But Fasi expected. Berger was a dream! Even drunk, he did not like him. What a pity! The man suddenly felt very alone. For what little he wanted to serve a nightcap. But he did not want to make it even more ridiculous. Berger found his girlfriend. Claire introduced his man. At this point Fasi wanted to go. Even if he was going to dance, he knew this harvest useless. It was not a fisherman, much less a hunter. This predator could not even finish the leftovers. Even if he tried to search the trash, they might deny him access. The man was crying! This summer he was leaving for Phuket. There the sun rises earlier. Two minutes later Berger returned. She kept her promise! - Good night Fasi! I come! Maximus, the bouncer, ended earlier tonight. He wants me to visit his new Jacuzzi. The liar! He lives in an apartment of thirty square meters! - Good night Berger! She had fun. Fasi forced himself to smile! Between friends, what kind joke had to be normal. She probably thought he kissed too. What gourd! She went. The bouncer looked. She joins him. The man seized him by the waist and kissed her. He sought Fasi, this attitude prevailed. A few minutes later Fasi finished the bottle. He finished his last drink in ten minutes. Alcohol wandered through his veins. The brain seemed unreachable. Later, when he got up, Claire joins him. The bitch! She watched. - You want me to introduce you to Jack? It is great that guy! After he invites us home. He moved a photography studio in his apartment. Hold on! Fasi had only to his home. Tomorrow he plans to install an art gallery in his apartment. He got rid of room and installed the new art deco chandeliers. Hold on! Modernity! - No! Excuse me! I get home. Good night and Monday. - It's your choice! So good night Fasi! Claire enthused. She understood! The ball was not an idiot!

Building A Balsa Bridge

"Great! Daniel Gindraux, 2002, detective fiction, Chapter 6.



CHAPTER 6

Fasi morning woke up at his usual time. He showered and dressed. He left ten minutes later. The apartment of Eleanor seemed calm. She had certainly slept well. Fasi, before leaving, wanted him to sign. But he refrained. The girl was still sleeping. It was perhaps watching television. It had not committed suicide. Surely not! Fasi was thinking of a pressure drop. Nothing to it! A slowdown. The girl had to go back, this perspective was inevitable. Fasi had more time before him. It could very well say hello. He never missed his coffee in a bar-tabac. Nothing to it! The door remained closed. Fasi had only to ring. The daughter could open it and invite him for coffee. She could thank him. A significant approach! Fasi remained a few seconds before the door. He hesitated to push the doorbell. But the invisible powers prohibited. Her modesty. Stage fright. His body trembled not yet. But frankly it felt he had to leave her alone. He thought back after work. This measure would be the best. The girl was not reluctant to find him. At day's end, hearts open. Eleanor could more easily let go.

** The following morning, Marius rose without bitterness. He showered. The girl was still asleep. A new girl crossing. Out, the girl awoke. A very pretty girl, very young. She waited in the bed. - Are you nervous? - Not at all! Marius dressing. He had to leave. - Then just sleep a little longer. It is only five hours. - I offer myself to whoever I want, want it! - Thanks! The girl had not wake up. Marius did not reply. He picked up his affairs, saluted and left the girl home.
Fifteen minutes later he was drinking his coffee at the station in the east. He did not speak, look, observe. Behind the windows, the sun began to rise. Few cars, few passers-by. Behind his back, street cleaners and employees of the railways were drinking their coffee. While Marius was upset, but he never in any cause. Drinking his coffee and watch the world pass before him. Inexpressible bitterness. Perhaps to Olivier. Olivier shabby, the misfire. The excluded from society. Whoever says he kisses, but who does not. Lies all day long. Burglaries shabby. Enthusiasm loser. Came the second coffee, and the third. An hour later he decided to leave. He borrowed the subway to the defense. One morning meaningless. Silence! In defense, as the doors were open, they entered a hall still empty. Some stores stay. Passers-by hurrying to work and scanners already at work. Since he had no ambition, from the second level, he observed a moment first. He stayed about a quarter of an hour, and he decided to go toward the Blue Side. Five minutes Later, he moved to the counter. Bar empty. The server tried to clean the tables on the terrace. Marius left to do, and on his return, he entered into conversation. - Do you know Olivier? The server was very young, but he had already used to this kind of clientele. A frail man, who avoided linger. - Oliver! It is still early you know. It will surely come. Marius did not reply, he turned to the lobby.
Twenty minutes later he ordered a coffee. He drank it slowly. He had just returned to the center of the bar, a small voice interrupted. Daniel was ... - Hi Marius! Initially he did not intend to cause, but nevertheless he turned on his little head. - Daniel got a problem? It is true that Marius measured forty-two centimeters taller than he. The ideal situation to win ... - Yeah! - And why? - Olivier is in jail! It was not a surprise! Marius did not care. - And why? Before answering, Daniel hesitated. It is true that man was shy, but he forced himself. - Ben! Because! When he opened the door, a dog jumped on him. - Oh! Admit that Marius had more ... - And ... Marius looked always high. - What! You think I abandoned? Daniel dared not answer. - Ben plays little head. In trying to open the door, Olivier received an electric shock. It was yelled at and I left. Little Daniel seemed really small. - I know! - Oh yes! - Yes, because two minutes later, he again shouted. I ran, and the room I saw the dog bite his hand. Seeing me, the dog rushed at me. So I snuck a jog and I closed the gate behind me before he could catch me. Marius laughed. He was leaning on the counter while Daniel did not have the chance. - And do not you think it's a lousy your boyfriend? - I do not know! Marius looked down. - Ben I tell you that yes! And from now, you're my new teammate. Included! Little did not dare answer him. - And otherwise, you know the girl he kisses all the time? - I do not know! - You never know nothing now! Little did order a coffee. - Who is it? Since the server was before him, Daniel commanded, and he resumed gently. - I do not know. There's a lot you know! - I know that. But the closer? - Surely the artist who works with bucket. Marius did not know the name. He asked ... - Who is this thing? - An anarchist artist. Joel bucket, you do not know? - No! - It's entarteur! Marius was not stupid. On hearing this word, his spirit returned. - The entarteur! And urges the world to him? The boy was ashamed to speak. He had just received his coffee. - No! But every month he arrived in Paris a star forms flakes in the capital. The great interested ... - And when the next time? - This afternoon! Since a new misfortune forced itself upon his person, he stooped a little. - And you lot? - Ten. - It's interesting that! Marius had become so debased, that it almost touched his ear to Daniel. - Aside from that, he worked for or the girl he is here every day?
Daniel was very ashamed, but it nevertheless indicates the name of the girl. Marius then lifted her back. The strong man! Daniel swallowed his cup. - Well! So I'm going to say hello! The boy did not answer him. Without waiting, Marius darted. He left the bar, down the first floor and walked toward the giant Casino. The store had just opened. The cashiers were preparing their seats. Vendors filled the shelves and customers first penetrated. A ridiculous number. When Marius announced himself at the entrance, the supervisor noticed, but he dared not deny him access. Because, let's face it, Marius was in a hurry. He walked fast and did not worry about anything. He does not use baskets and entered without waiting. Disastrous approach and look straight ahead. Departments came to vegetables. Marius slows to tomatoes. He took one in his hand, and felt rested. While his outfit was not good figure, but he did not care. Several customers were watching, and behind, the supervisor had decided to follow him. After the tomatoes, he passed the dairy. There, a safe approach. The man in possession of an indescribable beauty. It is difficult to say whether at that moment he realized that the supervisor followed him, but on reaching the end of the store, he turned to his left, and a dozen yards away, before the slaughter, he 's stopped. - There she is Julie? No customer waited patiently at the counter. Two butchers displayed their meat on the shelves and a daughter was helping. The supervisor joined them. Faced with the request, the two butchers rose. The girl turned, but the supervisor replied. - Excuse me sir! Marius did not turn to the man but continued to look straight ahead. As his name was called, the girl replied ... - Yes it's me! The girl was young and beautiful. She seemed embarrassed. Marius said ... - There is a problem! One can argue? Certainly, the atmosphere was very strange. But the conviction with which Marius wanted to talk with the girl, avoided the supervisor to intervene. The girl said ... - Why? What problem? Marius looked into her eyes. - It's Oliver! Certainly she knew Olivier, but certainly not well enough to look at its problems. Emotion misnomer. But seeing that three of his colleagues looked at her, she had to react. A little scrounging happiness. - Ben come! We'll talk outside. She then turned to his colleagues. - I will not be long! At this point, the supervisor would react, but on seeing the embarrassment of the girl, he avoided all about. The girl walked along the counter and walked out the enclosure. Marius followed. She then invited to follow. They walked to the exit. She opened it, they went out, and behind, a room filled with empty bigots expose the backside of a decor store. - What do you want? The girl knew Oliver. She knew very well his associates. She did not want to discuss. Marius shut the door behind him and stared. - Olivier told me about you! The girl did not care really. As he had nothing to tell him she wanted to return to work, but Marius prevented him from leaving. - Will Go away! I'm still losing my job. You could not blame the girl to have the face of a fucker. It should be part of the small area of defense, but come interfere with her work, bored more than anything else. - No! Wait! Look at me! Marius had caught him by the collar. She wanted to scream. Struggle. But this perspective it was prohibited. You could hear it. However, she raised her face to the man. - I am the best friend of Marius! - So what! - Come! We'll kiss! - You're crazy! The girl was afraid. She wanted to finish. But the man was too powerful. As the girl looked at him, he wrapped it suddenly. He lifted her by the waist and carried her to the bottom of the chamber. Behind a stack of bigots. The room was ten meters by ten. In pressing his body against the wall, the girl always wanted to flee, but the temptations of girls infidels saw daylight. A dark room and a man. Why not! Because she grew calmer, Marius did not wait. He began by kissing. She gave him the opportunity. Vint touching. Usual! A kiss on the mouth. A kiss on the ball. Wandering hands of a few small roar, and the girl he opened his fly. Around them, a wonderful silence was gathering. Black! All black! Empty of bigots and some lovely scent. As Marius could see, the girl was very enterprising. She lifted her skirt, and without waiting, he could stick his raw material between her legs. Came from the small Cree acute. Tenderness sought ... After the first rains, Marius calmed down a bit and tried to work nicely. But the girl urged him to finish. She thundered her buttocks as soon as possible. From quick! But Marius loved it! The roar and bigots ready to fall. A few minutes later, as he was closing, the door opened. He turned toward her without stopping. Between two stacks of bigots, he could see the build of a girl. A colleague. In her virtue, she looked for a moment, and just moved it finally announced himself. - Julie! We need you to come. The supervisor did not want to see it in the store.

** Two hours of the afternoon, Marius entered the bar Of Three Olives. The hotel was located a few blocks from the Place Vendome. A tobacco bar like so many others. Small ladies drank their coffee, men drank their glasses, two servers, a friendly atmosphere, and the back of the room, seated at a table, little Daniel was talking with a group of young people. Marius approached it. Daniel never saw that when his girth wrapped them. - Ah! Excuse me! I present to you Marius! There were three young men, a girl, a camera placed beside them, two cameras on the table, two cartons pies, and at the heart of the famous bucket seemed to give his instructions. The man must have spent fifty years. A small balding, big belly and a child of mine heart. Marius shook hands with all these folks, and Bucket intervened. - Want incrustation? - Of course! Marius sat ... - Well! So I'm going back. The man had drawn the characters with glasses. - The taxi will stop at fifteen meters from the hotel lobby. It will land behind the columns in order to pass unnoticed. Patrick and Francis, you'll stay back to film us. Once the star starts to walk, me and Stephen, we run toward it. The man pushed two glasses. Marius intervened. - And us. Now what? The old bucket seemed embarrassed. He raised his head to Marius. - Ben! Today we work with two pies. But Marius wished more ... - Well! Ben as this is the first time I work with you. I'll throw a pie! A mute himself among the crowd. Other young people did not really seem to appreciate. This rule does not appear to be part of their manners. Bucket said ... - Well I do not know! In principle, it is the turn of Stephen. He turned to Stephen. A young fairly discreet man, pretty quiet. - Me I do not care! Why not last! The young seemed to really care. The student wanting to have fun kind. Godet ... - Ben voila! Why not last!
Outside, Marius received his card. He opened it to check the sauce, and closed the lid. The other characters were checking their material. Daniel held a camera in his hand. A group of innocents. When all were ready, not wrapped up the bucket. Behind Marius approached the girl to talk a little. A little innocent, but a bit too studious to blow up the evening by a stranger. She said, however, but avoided any reports tendentious. She studied philosophy and psychology at the Sorbonne. The group crossed three streets and joined the Place Vendome. Many tourists were walking, but the space was large enough, the place seemed empty. Fifty meters from the hotel, Bucket invited to follow Marius. They left the others, approached the entrance, and twenty feet, they clung cons column. Godet ... - Put yourself in front of me. I'm afraid they recognize me. - Oh! Marius leaned against the column ... Came an expectation rather boring. Bucket had difficulty in seeing the entry, because Marius was really great. - In principle it should soon happen! - Oh! Marius looked at the entry rather poorly. He wanted to laugh when he saw Daniel waiting behind a car, but he restrained himself. The wait lasted a quarter of an hour. Outside the hotel, three porters watched. Cadillac stopped and a man came out. The really rich man and without embarrassment. It ordered the carriers to pay attention to the bags, and swarms from entering the hall. Around, several Japanese tourists took pictures, as if they had not missed a possible star. Suddenly, the bucket awoke. A taxi had stopped. - Surely it! - Oh! On seeing the taxi, a carrier rushed toward the door. He opened it and the legs of women rested on the ground. A tall figure emerged. Cup saw the woman, then he moved away from the structure to Marius and started running. Precipitation required. Marius came the reaction. He let the man and stung him as a runner. Pies in their hands, the work was to run fast. Marius focused firstly for not dropping the pie. At five feet of the woman, he took offense. An excess uncertain. Movements very fast! ... Seeing them get to her, the woman stopped. Stupor! She knew this would happen! At this point, one would think that this exercise would not be the pie for Marius, but he saw the face of the girl, he hurried to catch bucket. A frantic race! People around very surprised! Reaching an atmosphere of excess! ... Few steps, and two meters of impact, while bucket had already raised his arm, seized Marius. He stopped short. The girl was terrified. A break! A violent scuffle, but no reaction around them. Since bucket was surprised, he dropped his pie on the floor and stopped conspicuously. Marius held him by the neck. - What these stories now! - But! - Shut up! Around them, the holders were waking up. Two of they began to arrive. The girl put her hand over her mouth. Surprise! - It's not going up! Touch this girl! But not! Porters joined them. One of them landed in front of the girl, but no one dared interrupt Marius. - You're quick to apologize, you! He had actually grabbed bucket. - Go Godet, excuses now! Bucket dared not answer. His colleagues arrived. - You apologize! As Godet said nothing, quickly, he lifted her and her co pie in the face. Fear! The girl had fallen and started to walk quickly toward the entrance. A carrier ... - Go to both! Go away or we will be forced to call the police. Bucket had just received a pie in the face. He could not. The three carriers had surrounded them, they were not kidding. The young men were close. - What the police! Jennifer Monrose! You dream up! Two more guards came out of the palace and ran. The girl entered. The Japanese were recording the event. - Go! Go away! The carrier had raised his hand to ask them to leave. Marius looked down. Came the group and the two guards, big arms. A small crowd. - How are you I've got to go! You're dreaming! Marius had dropped bucket and watched the porters. A keeper. A great man and very strong. - Go! Entartreurs the wind! The man laughed and was not ready to fight. The group began to withdraw. Marius did not budge. - Wind you said! The guard looked into her eyes. His colleague the same. - Yes! I said the wind! Marius calmed. - How does the wind! We do not talk like that to Marius! You understand! Despite the reply and despite the atmosphere, this little world was beginning to subside, however. Marius resumed its air, wiping bucket. We were in the middle of the afternoon.
