Saka et Nash<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles, Main Street North<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nashoba White poussa la porte du bureau peu apr\u00e8s huit heures. Mary Sakamura, son associ\u00e9e, avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9par\u00e9 le caf\u00e9 et une douce odeur d\u2019arabica se diffusait dans les deux pi\u00e8ces. Saka & Nash Investigators<\/em> occupait les bureaux 157 et 159 du Rising Sun Building, sur Main Street, \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 de l\u2019h\u00f4tel de ville, mais aussi du centre de d\u00e9tention p\u00e9nitentiaire et du march\u00e9 de Little Tokyo. Cet immeuble avait \u00e9t\u00e9 construit par Hiro, le grand-p\u00e8re de Mary, dans les ann\u00e9es trente. Il avait ensuite h\u00e9berg\u00e9 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 fonci\u00e8re de Kenji, son p\u00e8re, avant qu\u2019elle ne disparaisse emport\u00e9e dans la crise des subprimes. Mary n\u2019avait gard\u00e9 que ces deux pi\u00e8ces, qu\u2019elle partageait maintenant avec Nash, son partenaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De son grand-p\u00e8re japonais, Mary avait gard\u00e9 les yeux en amandes, les cheveux de jais et le teint l\u00e9g\u00e8rement h\u00e2l\u00e9. Pour le reste, c\u2019\u00e9tait un pur produit de la Californie moderne. Sa m\u00e8re, issue d\u2019une famille WASP[1]<\/a> pr\u00e9tendant remonter au Mayflower, avait rejet\u00e9 ses a\u00efeux quand elle avait accept\u00e9 de vivre dans une communaut\u00e9 hippie de San Francisco. C\u2019est dans une petite maison sur les hauteurs qu\u2019elle avait perdu sa virginit\u00e9 avec un \u00e9tudiant en sciences \u00e9conomiques \u00e0 Berkeley avant de se lier avec Kenji, un autre \u00e9tudiant venu, lui, de Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans la langue de ses anc\u00eatres, Nashoba signifiait loup<\/em>. De son animal totem, Nash avait gard\u00e9 le regard p\u00e9n\u00e9trant. M\u00eame si ses parents avaient depuis longtemps quitt\u00e9 les plaines du Mohave, Nash aimait y retourner pour s\u2019y ressourcer. La Harley avait remplac\u00e9 le cheval, mais l\u2019attrait de la libert\u00e9 indomptable \u00e9tait rest\u00e9 intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficile d\u2019envisager un duo aussi dissemblable que Saka et Nash. Ils avaient malgr\u00e9 tout r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper leur affaire, \u00e9voluant progressivement de la recherche de flagrants d\u00e9lits d\u2019infid\u00e9lit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019information \u00e9conomique au profit de riches businessmen de la Cit\u00e9 des Anges. Saka \u00e9tait une surdou\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re de recherche sur le Net. Nash disposait d\u2019un vaste r\u00e9seau d\u2019informateurs, qu\u2019il gardait jalousement secret, m\u00eame pour son associ\u00e9e. En unissant leurs talents, ils avaient r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 d\u00e9jouer quelques arnaques tordues, d\u00e9busqu\u00e9 des employ\u00e9s ind\u00e9licats ou aid\u00e9 \u00e0 monter des OPA juteuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comme \u00e0 son habitude, Saka \u00e9tait devant son \u00e9cran lorsque Nash entra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Salut ! En forme ce matin ? demanda-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 J\u2019ai couru une heure avant de venir, je suis contente de mon temps. Et toi ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Couch\u00e9 tard, trop de whisky, nuit trop courte. Tout va bien. Il sent bon ce caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 C\u2019est le m\u00eame que d\u2019habitude, sers-toi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Des courriers int\u00e9ressants ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Rien de particulier, r\u00e9pondit Saka, mais j\u2019ai re\u00e7u un texto de Mike. Il voudrait nous voir rapidement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Il dit pourquoi ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Non, il a juste \u00e9crit RAPIDEMENT, en majuscules et le message a \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9 \u00e0 trois heures ce matin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 C\u2019est que \u00e7a doit \u00eatre important, commenta Nash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tu es libre \u00e0 l\u2019heure du d\u00e9jeuner ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Oui, je n\u2019ai rien de pr\u00e9vu. On peut aller chez Azay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Je lui envoie un message. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saka et Mike s\u2019\u00e9taient connus \u00e0 l\u2019UCSB, l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Californie, \u00e0 Santa Barbara. Ils s\u2019\u00e9taient retrouv\u00e9s colocataires d\u2019une maison proche de la plage \u00e0 Isla Vista. Mike avait tout de suite remarqu\u00e9 cette fille canon qui posait sa planche de surf pr\u00e8s de sa fen\u00eatre. Mary avait flash\u00e9 sur ce beau black qui jouait les standards de jazz de m\u00e9moire. Ils \u00e9taient devenus tout de suite amis, mais pas amants. Ils n\u2019avaient jamais flirt\u00e9, se contentant de fumer des joints en imaginant un monde diff\u00e9rent. Vingt ans plus tard, ils continuaient de se voir occasionnellement, entretenant une amiti\u00e9 dans laquelle Nash s\u2019\u00e9tait gliss\u00e9 sans difficult\u00e9. Le message de Mike les inqui\u00e9tait tous les deux. Leur ami n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un homme \u00e0 probl\u00e8mes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
