ra es vizsgalod6 pillantasaival
vegigsimogatta a lany formaS,
heyke alakjat. De hirtelen raj
takapta magat, hogy ez a kitiinte-
tes tobb, mint mennyit melto-
saga megengedhet es szarazon, liz
lett ridegseggel kerdezte:
Mivel szolgalhatok, kisasz-
SONY?
A lany belenevetett a szemebe
es gunyosan felelte
MindenekelGtt elvarnam egy
ilyen hires gavallertol, hogy hely-
lyel kinal meg.
Rubin csodalkozva meredt a
lanyra, zavart gesztussal muta-
tott egy b6r-fauteuilre.
Tessek.
Es 0nkentelenul felallott. A
lany leiilt es mialatt apro, finom
kis cipokbe bujtatott labait fesz-
teleniil tette keresztbe eeymason,
biZalmaSan mOndta.
- Es most kinaljon meg egy ci-
garettaval is. Sziiksegem van ar
ra, hogy ICY beszeljek magaval,
inert kiilonben ugy erzem magam,
mint egy kervenyez6, aki allasert
kunyoral.
Rubin meglepetten tartotta ci-
garetta-tarcajat latogat6ja ele.
Meg tiizzel is szolgalt neki es bosz-
szus kivancsisaggal varta, lhogy
mi lesz ebb6l? Fogalma sem volt,
hogy Xxi es mi ez lany, de fell
lepese a legszelsGbb f0ltevesekrc
nyujtott lehetoseget. A lany mo-
solyogva fujta feleje fiist0t,
most mar vizsgalta bizonyos f0-
lennyel a bankvezert, vegiil kony-
nyeden jegyezte meg:
Icy mar j6 Minden nehez-
seq nelkiil elmondhatom, hogv ker
nj jottem magahoz.
Rubin megfagyott, a karkot6-
orajara nezett.
- Oh, - kacagott fel leany
= csakugyan ON, kemeny iizlet-
ember, aki utalja koldus kere-
eetoket. De en- nem magamnak
kerek es egyebkent is inkabb alan
latot teszek. Ha jonak talalja,
rendben van, ha mem, aianlom ma
gam. Legf0lebb elszittam a ciga-
rettaiat.
Kerem, d0rmogte Rubin, -
most mar ITALIAN raterhetnenk az
iigyre -.
A lany nagyot lelegzett. Esq
yrevehet6 volt rata, hogy a biz
tonsaga inkabb er6ltetett, mint
termeszetes s hogy jobban secret
ne, ha minel kes6bbre halaszthat-
ma az ajanlatat, amely meg sem
volt olyan egyszerii. Varta, hogy
Rubin k0nnyitse meg szamara a
nehez helyzetet, de a bankvezer
mar hideg volt, mint egy jegcsap.
A lany hat belekezdett:
Arrol van $40, hogy az on
penzintezetenel dolgozik hu-
gom. A devisa -osztalyban. AIT
mondtam a noveremr6l, hogy a
hugom, bar mind0ssze ct percnyi
korkiilonbseg k0z0ttiink. TX
rex vagyunk.
Rubin ismet az 6rajat nezte es
nemi maliciaval jegyezte meg:
Siessen, kisasszony, inert mar
epen csak annyi id6m van az on
szamara, mint az on0k k0zti kor-
kiilonbseg.
A lany area elsotetedett, aztan
makacsul foldre nezve, gyorsan
folytatta:
A hugom nagyon tisztesseges
es gyamoltalan teremtes. Vegye
partfogasaba, emelje fel a fizete-
set, leptesse el6re es en- megfize-
tex erte.
Rubin rabamult lanyra.
Nit akar maga?
