Chapter 1
- Help, help ! - A terrified scream echoed in the cold night . - Help!
The sound drew me like a magnet . The street is deserted except for a ragged dog that roams looking for some food . The lights are dim in the street , with some poles spaced . Get off the car and run toward the anguished sound. Although it is not too late , few people venture out at night in that part of town . That is a relatively dangerous and violent region . There are a considerable number of assaults , fights , rapes and even murders .
- Hey ! - Scream for cornering a young man against a metal door of a closed shop . He tries to grab her purse with one hand and with the other squeezes her neck .
- Let her go ! - Enraged scream .
The man is startled and lets the young man pushing her to the side. She gets out of balance and falls dropping a groan . The man gives it a glassy look crazy and alienated . I know well that kind of look upset . At the same time I see that is not a good idea to face the man , as he may be armed . Men in that state are generally not owners of their actions , in most cases , are inconsequential . I could be putting both me and the young at risk at that time . But what I can do , damn it ?
Before I can think about the next step , the man runs away taking with him the bag of the young . I'm torn between chasing the man or rescue the girl moaning on the floor. Dropping an expletive , I choose the second option .
- Okay ? - I tell her approaching me shaking scared .
She is huddled against the door of the store, their hair falls cascading around the face , long red hair . Such an intense color that wouldnt have been fabricated. Ergo your face to see it better.
- Are you okay ? - I insist .
When she raises her head slowly feel my world out of orbit . Was not prepared for that. Before me , the most beautiful, angelic face I have ever seen in my entire life. Porcelain skin , covered in freckles , which show the natural color of the hair, and cheeky snub nose, and pouty red lips, seductive . His lips would make any man want to dive them immensely . My hands tremble slightly as he held this face. An electrical charge travels all over my body. Retreat quickly hand in shock.
- Are you okay ? - Repeat with a slightly hoarse voice.
The young man sighed deeply before answering .
- A- to- I think so. - Stutters .
She opens her eyes leaving me in a trance . They are the most beautiful eyes I could already see . An absurdly light blue crystalline impactful .
- My purse ! - She looks past my shoulders .
- Unfortunately he took . - Explain with regret . - Could have chased him , but I thought it best to see how you were .
- Okay . - She replied , her tone reflecting mine.
Then she starts to stand up leaning to the shop door and making circles on the floor with your feet as if searching for something . Right now I can see how much she is stunning . A curvaceous , thin, but just right , nice legs , though not as high body. I also realize its scent , a musky filled with soft floral tones . She is beautiful .
- My cane. - She whispers bringing me to this .
- How ? - Confusing wrinkling my forehead. Was she previously hurt? Have a problem with my leg ? By the way relies on one leg and moves to another , I think not .
- My cane. - She says again.
Grab it quickly attaching it to my broad chest .
- Can you see my cane , sir ? - She asks breathlessly and a little frightened by my sudden hug.
I look around and I see a dull brown cane few meters ahead. Is apparently intact .
- Yes, it's a little ahead . - Answer . - Let me get it for you. - I say , but not loose.
I see that beautiful young woman following looking over my shoulder . Your still looking at static . As if they were fixed at a point away from me . It is then that understanding falls on me like a wood floor .
- Are you blind ! - I say sharply.
The young woman cowers in my arms . Is visibly pale and with an anguished expression comes over his face . She tries to get rid of my embrace without success.
- Let me go . - She whispers anxious .
Loosen the arms but not to loose. I must have scared her . It was not my intention , but when I realized the fact , a huge rage seizes me. How can someone trying to hurt someone as fragile as that young , especially being blind ?
- Excuse me . Do not mean to scare you . - Sigh. I was just surprised .
- You need not ! After all , how could you know ? I'm sorry if this causes you to revulsion . - She says bitterly.
- Repulse ? - I see it confusing . - You think I'm repulsed ? - I say through gritted teeth .
- Lord , I may be blind , but I feel things . - Taking advantage of my shock , she breaks free and starts walking groping the air .
I get quite irritated . I do not feel disgust instead . Something that attracts me young . Of course her angelic face and I can see now that your body is standing contributed . What man would not feel attracted to a young woman so beautiful ? But it was more than that , something drew me to her, as if an imaginary magnet, a kind of aura among us , pulled me closer still . I've met many interesting women whom lost in the dead of night , but so far have never felt such magnetism.
- You're wrong ! - Secure your arm . Again through the sleeve of the jacket she is wearing I can feel the electricity . " Hell ! "
- Could you pass me the stick , please? My house is not far away and I just let it free of this disorder . - She says darkly.
Mutter a curse and will in pursuit of his cane . It is a few yards away on the sidewalk .
- Here . - I say holding her hand to give him the cane. I'm your little shudder . Would still shock or she also feels the attraction I ?
" By God , this is wrong ! " Since she too young for me and even if not , I could not . She seems too innocent to a man like me , plus there are other impediments .
- What are you doing here alone ? Where are your parents ? - Ask apprehensive.
The young man laughed confused .
- What do my parents have to do with it ? - It returns the question .
- Leave a girl your age, walking alone in this part of town and even more with ... - Stop talking before proceeding .
- Blind ? - She says bitterly. - While helping me , which I appreciate , and I do not think any of your business . - She turns giving me back.
- Of course it is ! He attacked . Whither ? We notify parents and give to the police . - Secure tightly around his wrists .
- My parents do not need to know . - She tries to drop . - The police will do nothing . I did not see who it was ...
- They're irresponsible ! - I say annoyed . - Could you give complaint against them too, and besides, I could see the guy . You know him?
- Err ... hum ... Look, I just want to go home . Do not give the complaint , please. - She begs trying to free his hands .
Did she know him? Why are you being so evasive and asking not to file a complaint ? I decide to ask again .
- Do you know him or not ? - I insist .
She seemed to think for a moment , nods and is silent . Definitely this story seems badly told , but considering the misfortune for which she spent that night , I decide not to insist . Well, at least not now .
- Look , I still think you should make a complaint . I saw the man and could easily describe it . We should not let him loose . Clearly , he is a villain and can hurt other innocent people . However, this is your decision and I will not insist . But before anything else , let's call her parents . - I say quietly.
- My parents are dead ! - She says as if in pain .
Then begins to cry uncontrollably as if only now realizing the danger he had run . I hug while she cries in my arms . I feel a lump in the throat .
- Okay . - Whisper caressing her hair , trying to comfort her . - Okay .
A few minutes later , she'll calming their crying and goes to some sighs . Ergo her face with his finger , fascinated by those eyes , bathed in tears that are even more mesmerizing .
- You sure you do not even want to complain to the police? - I say sweetly. - Loose That man is a danger to other innocent women like you .
- Please do not ... - She pleads .
Enrugo forehead . Why she insists on not press charges ? Owes something to the authorities ? Rio internally absurdity of that thought . Of course not ! What a helpless young woman like her do? But there is something there. Does this man was an acquaintance ? I'm still not convinced that she did not know .
- Okay . But I'll take you home so I can not leave her alone with this man on the loose . - I say firmly . - Do not accept refusal on your part .
- No need. Take me to the bus stop nearby. - She asks .
- No! - I roar. - Or let me to take her home and the police will . But do not leave you alone at the bus stop . - I say pointedly .
- And I will not get into the car of a stranger ! - She swings rubbing his hands.
- Let's do the following ... - Sigh trying to control the anger starts to dominate me . - I call a cab to take her , okay ? - Say in a whisper .
She seems to reflect for a few moments .
- Okay, you can call the taxi. - She consents .
- Come on. - Tell guiding her by the shoulder . - Wait a minute . After waiting for a car to pass , crossed the street .
I hailed a taxi passing a few minutes later and while talking to the driver , I see him watching her . She is straight and stiff as a queen. Some strands of hair falling over his face . Only now I notice that her hair is long , below the waist . Never cared much for hair , but those with very stir and my libido . I can easily imagine her lying naked in silk sheets and those with red hair spread , begging for my touch . I shake my head to clear such unwelcome thought .
After combining with the driver , return to her, holding his cane with such force , that the joints of his fingers are white , belying his earlier pose security .
- Come on. - Cold hold your hand. - The taxi 's here . Sure you do not want to press charges or do I leave it at home? - I ask hopefully.
She comes back pale . Is there something there ? Was the man a boyfriend?
- No! - She rushes . - I think not even thanked . - She smiled sadly . - Thank you.
- Take care of yourself ! The taxi is already paid. - I stroke her cheek with a light touch as a feather , but the shakes and leaves her panting .
I help her into the car and watch talk to the driver , possibly passing the address . I hear something about Boulevard building and then the taxi driver starts driving . Eye for taxi briefly and hurriedly follow my car, which oddly enough , is intact , parked in the same place , despite the dangerous neighborhood. The car itself indicates danger. None would dare mess delinquent or steal a Jaguar XF silver, which clearly indicates that its owner can only be someone really powerful .
While driving , think of intriguing young . Not even asked his name . I think with bitterness that should have insisted more about the man . Did she know him? And if you know , what kind of relationship it would have with him ? Not very good , in the right because he assaulted and robbed . And on top of his parents are dead ! Who does she live? Who looks after it ? Why was alone in a place like that ? This lack of response is driving me crazy ! I have to see her again , but how? At least vaguely heard about the building she lives . " Yes " I'll ask Peter to investigate and discover today your address . I would feel guilty the rest of my life if something happened to her. Gave good money to the driver , but still ... " Damn ! " It should not have let her go by taxi . Now I will not be quiet until I know she is well , safely at home. I decide to call Peter .
It meets on the second ring .
- Peter , it's me , Neil . Okay ? - The anguished middle - compliance .
- Hello , Neil ! Is everything okay? You seem apprehensive. - He asks worried.
- Yes , it's okay . I mean, well, more or less . Just helping a girl who was being robbed and left it in a taxi to take her home . I insisted to take her , but she did not because I was a stranger . But now I'm worried if she came home well . You could check this ? I heard her say to the taxi driver who lived in Boulevard building , but did not hear the street name . I found her in the Bronx , she must live close by . - Say in one breath .
- Bronx ? Assault ? Neil 'm getting worried . What are you still doing there? - He asks anxiously.
- Because I was waiting for the damned for more than an hour. Peter , are you sure it was the same here? Well, anyway , I'm no longer in the Bronx and I can not explain now . Please , do what I'm asking you and get back to me ASAP. I'll be home waiting for your news . - Say ending the interrogation .
- Okay, I'll see what I can do. - He says , and I hang up .
