✔ᵉⁿᵍˡⁱˢʰ ONE [John Wick]✔

09

According to the official police and fire reports, the owner of the house stated that there must have been a defect in the gas line that caused the fire.

But it was that statement that would break John's neck, unless other things did. Which they would, but no one knew at the time. Not one day. Not one day. Not anytime soon. Maybe it was a reflex, or one of the stories that had been planned for such a moment, for years. In the heat of the moment, many would say now, but in the end it was Johnathan we were talking about, the man who never made a mistake or planned everything in advance, in the most meticulous and careful way.

No mistakes, that was what the name John Wick stood for.

"How far is the fire department?" asked Alice when she arrived at the burned down house and looked at Jimmy who took a deep breath and exhaled audibly in answer to her question, "Tell me the fire investigators haven't arrived yet. Please."

"It took almost all night to put out the fire," Jimmy recalled, glancing at the neighboring houses, where the possibility of being observed by their occupants was very high at the moment, thanks to the curiosity, "They won't come until the building is cleared. Even if the fire is extinguished, the walls or ceilings could still collapse. A structural engineer has not yet been here to clear what is left."

"Fine," Alice replied, which was anything but fine with Jimmy, who left her behind the barricade, "if you feel uncomfortable with this, leave. You know yourself that the gas line is not even remotely true."

"Ce," Jimmy started, whereupon Alice came back to him and began to smile painfully, "You know what I'm getting at. To a certain point and degree..."

"I know... ", Alice confirmed, but it didn't change anything, "... but it's still John we're talking about here. But enough has happened lately, and as soon as the house is released, an expert here will have looked around, the cause of the fire will not be the gas pipe. Give me five minutes, ten... you don't even have to go inside."

"What am I supposed to tell my boss when he asks me why I was with an unknown woman," replied the policeman, who had known about certain things for a long time, "it's a completely different thing to just let John do it when no one else can see or hear."

"No one knows, nor can anyone imagine, how much I actually owe and owe to John," with a trembling voice Ce began to nod, pressing her lips together tightly and began to stroke Boy, who pressed his head against her leg, "I don't know what Santino used to blow up his house with, but there are bullets, shells or something. Clear evidence it wasn't the gas line. It may be a lot for you to take in, but the truth is, it's not even worth mentioning".

Come on, that's all Jimmy said. And that's all Alice could say, a wordless thank you.
