When Jade realized that the danger had passed, she opened her eyes and saw a black jeep in front of her. Moore breathed a sigh of relief: just a little more, and she would have turned into a cake for dinner. The pulse gradually began to bounce back, as did breathing. For a split second, her whole life flashed before her eyes. Well, I do not! Recently, having been on the verge of death several times, she has rethought a lot, and if she has learned well, it is that life must be appreciated. And now she wanted to live and was ready to fight for her. Not for that, she spent so many sleepless nights writhing in agony from breaking, being in an almost unconscious and inadequate state, sincerely wanting to die, so that now it’s so simple and stupid to die under the wheels of some negligent driver! After all that she went through! No, no and NO! Otherwise, all this would simply lose all meaning ...
For the sake of Lynn, for the sake of her fans, for the sake of Jade herself, she must live ...
A pale, handsome, handsome brown-haired man of about thirty years old jumped out of the car, with an expressive face and eyes the color of a stormy sky, in which a woman effortlessly read outright horror.
- You. You ... - he began to shout a little stuttering. - Are you crazy or something?! To rush under the wheels! And if I didn’t have time to brake ?! Do you have any idea what could happen!
Jade's eyes almost got out of their sockets from such pressure. No, is he what, he also blames her for what happened ?!
- But who of us is crazy yet! You! The empty-headed blind idiot! He was driving at high speed on a bend! I didn’t even notice you!
- And there’s nothing to walk on the roadway! And at the same time, I am an empty-headed blind idiot ?!
“Is this the roadway ?!” - Jade skeptically examined the place where she was. - You're kidding, right?
Actually ... The man stared up at Jade, his arms folded across his chest. - There is a path there, especially for people on their own two, where you can walk without fear that they will crush you. And here cars go.
- Yes, everything is the same here!
No, Jade, of course, grew up in a wealthy family all her life, and she never lived in poverty, but after she ran away from home ten years ago and began to live alone, she never saw the other side of life. But because of this, a fool who is not fit for life should not be made of it!
“God, as I understand it, you've never been to places like this before.” So I’ll ask differently: who are you and what are you doing here?
“I’m a new volunteer in the camp, I will earn extra money by staff, I’ll deal with the kids,” Moore answered with a snort, reluctantly.
- Really? - the man grinned. - Since when have they taken to work in our camp crazy suicides who have escaped from the hospital?
“Probably from the very same ones as their former employees were jailed for killing those crazy suicides who escaped from the hospital, and they needed new workers,” Jade said sarcastically.
You're crazy ... the maniac, remarks and pokes his finger reproachfully at Jade.
- Pff ... Go down from heaven to earth, Apollo, clouds are boiling from you.
- What? - the man's eyes popped out. “Wait ... are you sure you didn't hit your head by accident?”
“No, you are just an empty-headed blind idiot ... You don’t see, everything is fine with me.” The car didn’t even touch me, - annoyed Moore quickly felt herself from head to toe.
Okay, sorry, he breathed, closing his eyes for a second. - I got a little excited. I was just scared. Are you all right? - his tone changed, became worried.
“Yes, she said, the car didn’t even touch it,” said Jade, also more calmly. The first wave of emotions passed, and both could already think more sensibly.
- Well, since everything worked out, can we forget about this incident and start over? Peace? The male chin held out his hand to shake, and Jade accepted her, nodding her agreement.
Consider the apology accepted.
“By the way, I'm Rick Peters.” And what's your name?
“I J ...”, stammered, the woman coughed. - Julia ... Julia Golbert.
“Nice to meet you, Julia.” Rick smiled seductively.
“Me too, Rick,” Jade answered, smiling back. “Do you work here too?” And, as I understand it, this is not the first time.
- Yes, for the third year in a row already.
- Wow. Do you like it here? She asked in surprise.
- Yes, it’s cool here. If you want, I can give you an individual tour, I’ll tell and show you everything.
- Hmm ... It would not be bad.
“Then get in the car, colleague, a ride,” Rick ordered, picking up Jade's suitcase in his hand. - There is very little left, the gates are already visible.
She incident was completely exhausted, and, smiling again, Jade jumped into his car without fear.
She could not understand, but for some reason, she had the feeling that they had already seen somewhere. Something very familiar was evident in his appearance, especially now that she had examined it more closely. The man’s appearance is quite memorable, and if they had met before, she should have remembered him. Moreover, in connection with the profession, she has a good memory for her faces.
