Chapter 44: Guarding
After the awards ceremony announced the Best Actress and Best Actor, the curtain finally came to an end, and the performances of the stars were also different, and some people were really happy and some were worried. The stars who won the awards were all refreshed and complacent, and the stars who were nominated but did not win the award in the end also had a lot of helplessness, they knew that they did not win the award this time, and they didn't know when it would be when they would be nominated next time.
When the award ceremony ended, it was equivalent to Leo and their day's work was finally over, and their attention was very focused on this day, although there were snacks to replenish the energy they consumed, but their brains were running at a high speed, and they also felt a wave of fatigue at this time.
When the stars gradually withdrew and left, the director found Xiaolan and said, "Hello Xiaolan, have you thought about it, do you want to make a movie with me?" ”
Xiaolan didn't expect that it had only been a few hours, and the director came to ask her again, and she could only say: "I'm sorry, director, I haven't thought about it yet, and I haven't had time to tell my partners yet." I'll call you when we're done. ”
As if he knew that Xiaolan would say this, the director did not dwell on this issue and asked, "Then do you remember my phone number?"
Xiaolan quickly gave his phone number, and he left the theater with his wife with confidence, as if he had come to confirm whether Xiaolan really remembered his phone number.
When the eight Leo finally walked out of the theater, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the scene outside. Because there are still a lot of reporters standing outside, and these reporters seem to be waiting for them. When the reporters saw them come out, they immediately rushed up and surrounded them in the center.
Leo and the others had never experienced this kind of thing, and they didn't know what to do at once, but in fact, with their physical ability, they could completely get out of the crowd. But there are so many people around them that they can't guarantee that they won't cause harm to the people around them when they rush out. Just when they were at a loss and thinking about how to get rid of these reporters, a very familiar and majestic voice came from behind: "Don't worry, this will scare the children, if you want to interview them, we can hold a small press conference in the background wall." ”
Everyone looked for prestige, and an old man in a black suit, but with a full head of gray hair that was particularly eye-catching, was supported by a lady and was walking this way. It turned out that Mr. Brown was helped by Daisy and walked over. Many reporters know this bigwig in the media industry, and when they hear him say this, everyone no longer asks nonsense. Instead, he followed the old man to the location of the background wall.
Leo and the others also followed, they knew that they couldn't run away, although they didn't want to be famous, but it was already like this, it was best to ask them not to reveal their faces.
So when Daisy came to them, Robert whispered to Daisy about the request, and told her that their identities were very sensitive and it was best not to reveal them. Daisy nodded in understanding, she approached Mr. Borum and told him about Leo's request, Mr. Borum looked at Leo and the others, nodded with a smile, and said to the reporters: "I know that there are some things that can't be hidden from everyone, yes, as you think, these teenage children are the security guards for tonight's ceremony, and the most important security guards, they are the guarantee that this ceremony can be held smoothly."
You actually see a little bit of what they can do, but that's only a small part of it, and they're much more capable than you think, but they can't reveal their identities for their own reasons. If it is published by you, it may hurt them a lot, so please do not disclose their appearances to all journalists present, this is a kind of protection for them. ”
After hearing the old man's words, many reporters couldn't accept it, they just wanted to attract the attention of the audience and increase their attention by exposing Leo's appearance and ability. But the old man directly extinguished all their hopes, and of course they would not accept it, so a reporter said: "Mr. Brown, we know your position in the media, but we cannot stop us from reporting on these children because of your few words, and I ask Mr. Brown's forgiveness." As soon as he had finished speaking, several more reporters came forward to agree with what he had said, and they all looked at Mr. Brown, waiting for his answer.
Mr. Brown also smiled bitterly, and when he began to call out to the reporters, he also thought that he could use the exposure of their identities to attract the attention of the audience, but Daisy told him about Leo's difficulties, and he said something like that, wanting to use his influence to help Leo and the others deal with things as low-key as possible, but he still underestimated the reporters' desire to learn about the news.
Just when Mr. Brownham didn't know what to do, two SUV vehicles drove into the theater, followed by a green armored car. The three cars drove directly in front of the background wall before stopping, at which time 8 SWAT officers wearing SWAT equipment got down from the armored car behind, and William also jumped out of an off-road vehicle, and he walked directly to the background wall.
The reporters were all frightened by the momentum of the SWAT, and no one spoke, and when they saw William coming, they knew that this person was the leader of the SWAT, and they all looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say.
When William came to Robert's side, he glanced at Robert and nodded at him, meaning "everything has me". In fact, as early as the end of the ceremony, Robert informed William and told him that everything was normal here. William said on the phone that they should wait at the door and he would come to pick them up, and when Robert and the others came out and were surrounded by reporters, Robert sent a text message to William and told him about the matter here, William knew about Robert and their situation, and they couldn't be exposed now, which would be very bad for them. So he called the SWAT team that had been patrolling the perimeter to pick them up.
William said to the reporters present in a cold tone: "I am the chief instructor of the Miami Special Police Team, and my name is William. I'm here to pick up the substitutes for our SWAT team, these kids. There are two ways for you, first, we will leave directly, and all your equipment will be confiscated. ”
By the time William finished the first point, the reporters had already blown up, shouting about human rights, shouting that William was not qualified to do this, that they were taxpayers, and that SWAT and police could not spend taxpayers' money and still treat them like this.
William looked at the excited reporters, his eyes turned cold, staring at the reporters who were the most happy, those reporters were a little cold by William's gaze, and their voices gradually became quieter, William saw that the voices around him became quieter, and said: "Don't tell me about human rights, taxpayers." Let me tell you, the orange alert for terrorism has been activated in Miami, and now that these are extraordinary times, we have the right to detain people who affect our work and to confiscate all equipment that may have a negative impact. Now that you are going to interview our SWAT, you are interfering with our normal work, so I have the right to confiscate your cameras, cameras, mobile phones, etc., and we have the right to suspect that your equipment may leak important information about our SWAT team members. ”
Listening to William's words, the reporters were a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect things to turn out like this, if they were allowed to confiscate the equipment, the things they recorded at the awards party today could not be sent out immediately, then for them this trip would be in vain.
At this time, one of the reporters suddenly remembered what William had just said, so he quickly asked: "Then what is the second way you are talking about?" ”
A smile tugged at the corner of William's mouth, thinking that he was waiting for you to ask, if he didn't ask the words that scared you just now, he would be exposed. He immediately straightened his face and said, "The second way is that these children can accept your questions, but they can only answer your three questions. And you can't write anything about SWAT teams in your reports, because if you do, your media will be investigated by the FBI as helping with terrorist incidents. So how to choose the two paths, you can do it yourself. ”
As soon as the reporters present heard that there was such a good thing, they immediately agreed to follow the second route, but then William said: "You can report, but if you follow the report of the members of the SWAT team, they are not allowed to show their faces, and their faces must be processed." Or simply follow the red carpet guide to report so that their photos can be published. ”
Journalists are thinking that no matter how much they talk about these children, they can't see their faces, and it's hard for people to believe them. It seems that it can only be reported by the guide, hey, is this equivalent to them tossing in vain? So one reporter asked, "We can report by the guide, but can we ask some other questions, of course, which don't appear in the report." ”
William looked at Robert and the others at this time, Robert made eye contact with the others, and nodded to William to say yes.
So the reporters started asking, "Are you part of the Miami SWD now?"
Robert stepped up and said, "We're an independent team, we're not affiliated with any department, but we've worked with the Miami Police Force a lot and we've handled a few cases. ”
A reporter asked directly, "And what is the name of your team?"
"That's the second question," William said, reminding reporters.
When the name was mentioned, Robert and the others really didn't think about it, and just when everyone didn't know how to answer, Xiaolan stood up and said: "The name of our team is Guardian, because our mission is to guard, protect our family, protect our friends, and protect all those who should be guarded." ”
When the other people heard Xiaolan talk about guarding, they all thought a lot, they thought of the family who sent them, their initial purpose was to hope that they could go back to protect their family, and then their feelings for each other deepened, and they also wanted to protect each other. When it comes to protecting others, those people are the ones they want to protect.
The others quickly agreed with Xiaolan's name and nodded their heads in approval.
At this time, another reporter asked, "You all look like you're from different places, can you introduce me?"
Robert and the others did not hide it, and introduced where they came from. When they finished speaking, the reporters became even more curious, and another reporter asked, "So how did you come together?"
William then spoke: "I'm sorry, this is the fourth question, and you can take pictures next." ”
Although the reporters were a little reluctant, they could only give up, so they took out their cameras to take pictures of Leo and them, and Leo stood in a row, and they were sorted according to their age.
From left to right, Robert, Gabi, Gibson, Emma, Ran, Leo, Anna, and Mason are respectively. When they stood in order, Robert and Gabby naturally got close, and held each other's hands, Gibson saw that they showed affection in public like this, and he didn't want to be a light bulb, so he leaned towards Emma's side, Emma originally wanted to pull Xiaolan, but she saw that Xiaolan seemed to be dealing with Anna's side, so she didn't avoid Gibson, but stood with him.
At this time, Xiaolan was solving the conflict between Leo and Anna, Leo originally wanted to be closer to Anna, but Anna seemed to be angry and deliberately ignored him, but directly hugged Mason's shoulder, for Anna, Leo and Mason, they used to hook shoulders like this. Xiaolan told Leo that Anna was deliberately angry with him, so he didn't think about it, and Leo also knew that now was not the time to persuade Anna, so he naturally stood with Xiaolan.
When they stood up, the reporters pressed the shutter one after another, and when they saw this photo that everyone kept many years later, they would say with emotion, "Everything is providential."
