Corrections

Today he got out of bed on the wrong side: for some reason alarm have rang not in the time, iron have burned a new shirt, kettle have burned down, so he had to go to work half-starved, only hastily bite the last piece of pizza that was in the fridge.

The bus broke down on the way, he had to take a taxi.

7.55 am on the clock.

Jack threw the taxi driver 20 dollars and, without waiting for short change, shot out of the car.

He briskly walked along a busy street, through the crowd, that something anxious and hurrying somewhere.

Approached a pedestrian crossing - at the traffic lights burned red.

Every second was expensive.

Nervously waiting for the green light, he stood on the sidewalk with all and was waiting the signal "Go".

All his life he was waiting for someone's signal: when it's Friday, when the boss give "ok" to start a new project, when the long-awaited holiday to spend it with his beloved girl ...

He remembered Anna's eyes.

Eyes color of blue lagoon.

So sad, but kind.

Yesterday she did not want to let him go, begged him not to go on a business trip in this cold and gloomy London.

"Let's go somewhere, no matter where, if only together."-Spun her words in his head and a lump come in his throat.

He stood there, lost in thought, when he heard of the incessant buzz of the crowd and the cars passing a tiny voice.

Someone ruffled from below hem his jacket. there was girl about five year's old."Uncle ...

Uncle, help me find my mom" - she looked at him with eyes swollen with tears and sobbing.

At the traffic light turned green.

Facial Jack drove cheekbones, he looked at his watch - 7.58.

A few seconds thought, he took the girl's hand and together they marched across the street to the side of a huge building height of 110 floors.

They went into the lounge.

Going up to the reception desk, Jack gave his name: - Wait a minute, Mr. Stevenson - woman was typing something on a keyboard and making sure that everything is in order, she continued, - they are already waiting for you.

- Can I ask you a favor?

- He nodded toward the girl - child lost and looking for her mother.

Could you ask someone from the guard to help?

Today, I have a very important meeting at the center, I can not miss it.

The girl reluctantly agreed.

Jack literally flew into the lift, doors closed - he saw on a chair near the rack fidgeted his new little friend, she looked at him like a little kitten that was left on the outrage.

- What floor , mister?

- girl asked him, standing on the left - Ninety-ninth.

The lift began to rise.

Floors were counted as seconds.

Jack, continually, glancing at his watch.

Ninety-four, ninety-fifth ...

He thought to himself pronounces his text, a learned by heart, a speech that he will now speak at a presentation on assistance to orphans.

At the ninety-sixth floor of the lift stopped, three men came out.

Only started to close the door, but at this moment something possessed Jack get off the lift at the last second.

The girl, who was standing next to him, surprised shouted after him: "Where do you go,Mister?

Ninety-ninth floor is three floors up!" - I changed my mind,- smiling, he headed for the stairs.

Some unknown force pushed him, he raced down the floors, as if afraid to miss something more important than this meeting, which was a lot in his life, and probably still will be enough.

Here is probably his boss, blushing and apologizing for the delay of his subordinate, proposed partners to begin without him.

Well, then he will get a first - Jack did something contrary to his boss and it's even a little fun.

And that his colleague , Alan , nice guy, he's probably going through now , because the second word must utter it .

And here he is calling.

Jack picked up the phone .

- Where the hell are you ?

- Whisper hissed Alan , we'are waiting here for half an hour !

- Start without me , I'll be barely - Jack said , flying in the ground floor hall.

- What do you mean ?

Max will kill you !

What happened to your voice?

- I run , I tell you, start without me ...- Jack , all red from running, flew to the child , whom he had left fifteen minutes ago here (strangely , no one apparently was not going to help her ) , girl joyfully jumped up and hugged him for hand.

- I was just going to call someone - started making excuses girl - administrator, but Jack interrupted her : " Do not worry , I'll take care of her " , as she clearly was not against this , she had a lot of things to do today .

- Who are you talking about? Where are you?

- Alan was still on the wire.

- Now I'm on the street outside the Centre, go to the police. - The police?

Jack , what happened?

You understand that this presentation is very important for us , and now you can spoil everything ,- Allan tried to speak very quietly in the background could be heard as their chief pains before an audience , telling how important their work and the contribution they make to the global society .

Better if he did so , as said , would be more benefit...(To be continued)
