0025 Suffocation
The docks, Reuben's residence, Adair urinating in the cramped bathroom, listening to Reuben's whining in the side hall.
"With such a roster, you can earn nearly nine thousand dollars, Morliff is really shit lucky!"
Adel smiled, not taking the complaint to heart, after all, Ruben didn't know how important this thing was.
Maybe it's because this soaking of urine is a bit long, but when Adel discharges it, he feels extraordinarily comfortable, and the whole person can't help but feel excited.
"Adair wouldn't give money to a mixed egg white, he must have his reasons for doing so," was Clifford's voice, this guy always had such an unconditional trust in Adele.
Shaking his head with a smile, Adair turned around as he lifted his pants.
At the moment of turning around, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him startled him, and when he was peeing, a girl stood silently behind him, and he didn't even notice it.
The girl was not the Casey who often appeared in Adair's presence, but a complete stranger, and Adel vaguely remembered seeing her, but was not very impressed.
The girl looked a little panicked, she stood at the bathroom door, looked at Adel with two deep eyes, and whispered something in her mouth.
Perhaps she was afraid of being heard, so she spoke very little, and although Adel could hear her, she didn't know what she was saying, because she didn't speak English.
"What did you say?" Adair asked in a whisper, leaning forward.
The girl turned her head to look behind her, as if to see if there was anyone, and when she turned around, she quickly pulled out a palm-smearized, stained note from the placket of her shirt, and held it in both hands and handed it to Adair.
Adair took the note with a puzzled face, and glanced at it, there were a few English words like ghostly drawings, and the tense grammar was wrong, just a few dry words, if it wasn't for the fact that he was from China in his previous life, Adel really couldn't understand it.
"Take you away?" Glance at the note, Adele's gaze turned to the girl's face again.
The girl's skin is a little dark, well, it's the kind with black in the yellow, melon seed face, and ears are a little big, but the facial features are delicate and very three-dimensional, which is characteristic of South American mixed-race people.
I don't know if the girl understood Adele's words, she stood there and nodded again and again, and then said a string of words in a soft voice, Adel naturally still didn't understand.
Seeing Adele's dazed face, the girl was a little anxious, she reached out to hold Adele's left hand, and then took him and put his hand on her bulging chest.
The girl's breasts were not very large, and they looked like they were being held in a single hand, but by the touch, Adel felt that they were elastic and should be perfectly shaped.
"What's the matter with Adelle?It's taking so long to pee?" At this moment, Reuben's voice suddenly came from outside, and it seemed to be very close, not like it came from the side hall.
Hearing the sound of Reuben approaching, the girl's body stiffened suddenly, and then she turned around and tried to escape.
Adel secretly felt funny in his heart, and he didn't care how scared the girl was, and the moment she turned around, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back violently.
Almost at the same time, Reuben's figure appeared on the doorway of the living room.
"Wow!" Reuben, who came out of the side hall, happened to see Adel dragging a girl into his arms, he was stunned, and then said loudly, "This guy is actually stealing my sheep!"
Adel ignored him, he took the girl in his arms, and slammed the bathroom door shut.
"Isn't Casey to your taste, Adele?" said Ruben's playful voice from outside, "this lamb you've chosen isn't very well-behaved, and you'll have to watch out for her horns." ”
Adel didn't care to listen to what he said, this will, he only felt an impulsive emotion running in his chest, and he couldn't wait to vent it.
In the narrow bathroom, the girl was pushed against the wall with her back, I don't know if it was to cater to please Adele, or if she was really emotional, in the face of Adele's invasion, her response was also enthusiastic, until one leg was lifted by Adel in the crook of her arm, and then pinned her to the wall like a chisel, the girl's face showed a painful expression.
After a hearty catharsis, reason returned to Adele, he gasped and took a step back, leaned against the tin wall behind him, fumbled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it, and then looked at the girl across from him in silence.
In retrospect, he was like a beast, wild and tyrannical, and the girl was not lightly wounded, and a clear blood mark flowed down her straight and slender right leg to her ankle. Although the pain in her lower body made the girl's gorgeous little face slightly deformed, after hurriedly pulling up the torn bottoms, she still squatted down very obediently and sorted out the messy pants for Adele.
In fact, Adel also knows where his tyrannical emotions come from, Cole's coercion has caused him to have a sense of powerlessness, although he is very calm, but the anger caused by this powerlessness is real in his emotions. He couldn't show this kind of angry emotion in front of outsiders, because that would show his incompetence at the same time, so he was forbearing, always forbearing, until the moment just now, it exploded on an unrelated girl.
"What's your name?" asked Adair as he reached for the girl's chin and lifted her little face up after taking two puffs of his cigarette.
When he asked this, he suddenly realized that the girl couldn't understand English, and it was in vain to ask.
Sure enough, a look of confusion flashed on the girl's face, and then it changed to a sweet smile, and then continued to tie the belt to Adele.
After a moment's hesitation, Adair tossed aside the cigarette he had just taken two puffs of, took two bills from his pocket, and handed them to the girl.
The girl looked at the two bills handed in front of her, paused, and after about ten seconds, she shook her head slightly, and fumbled to take out the crumpled note, and pinched it with both hands to show Adair.
Adel smiled, reached out and touched her head, and when his hand retracted, he pulled the note out of her hand and nodded at the girl.
The girl obviously understood what he meant, and her little face turned red with excitement, and she quickly sorted out Adele's clothes, and then she stood up and stood obediently to the side.
"Follow me," holding the girl's wrist, Adel opened the bathroom door, said casually, and led her out.
In the large living room outside, Reuben was smoking a cigarette at the door of the side hall, and next to him, Clifford was squatting on the ground, his head buried low, and he didn't know if he was looking at ants.
"Reuben," motioned for the girl to sit down on a stool to the side, and Adair touched his nose and walked straight up to Reuben, "and we're going to do three things. ”
Ruben originally wanted to make fun of him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he started to talk about business so seriously, and the whole person was a little stunned.
"First, arrange for me a dozen people who are thoughtful and can speak English, and I can use them," Adel said bluntly.
"Second, try to help me find out as much as I can about Cole the Mad Dog, and remember that I need everything I need about him, including what he likes, what he doesn't like, what he's done in the last two months, where he's been there, etc. Adair continued.
"What do you want to do?" asked Reuben.
Adair shook his head, and instead of answering his question, he continued, "Third, find me a place to stay at the docks......"
"What's this woman's name?" he asked, pausing and pointing back to the cramped girl.
"Oh, Daniela Castillo, she was smuggled in from Ecuador at the beginning of the year," Ruben said.
"She's mine, arrange for her to live in my place," Adel nodded, jotting down the name, but said on his lips.
"It's not fitting that you stole my girl without my consent, and now you have to take her away, Adal," said Reuben, rolling his eyes, "and besides, you didn't her once and think of her as your own woman, then ......"
"Two months at most," Adair interrupted, holding up two fingers and said, "at most two months, I will be able to help you obtain American citizenship and make you a legal citizen of the United States of America." ”
"Then ......" Reuben didn't finish his words, and as soon as he heard this, he changed the subject almost instinctively, "Then all the girls I have here are yours, Adele, as long as you can fulfill your promise, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”
"Trust me, Reuben, I'm a man of my word," Adel nodded, with a solemn expression.
"I believe in you," Reuben said with the same solemn expression as he stared into his eyes, "of course, please believe me, you are my most reliable and trusted friend, and I will let you understand how Reuben treats his friends." ”
"And me?" said Clifford, rising from the ground and grimacing.
"Of course," Adel smiled, reached out and pressed Clifford's shoulder, "from now on, we will be three in one, united, and I don't believe that we can't squeeze a real place in this great New York!"
"That's right, not only do we have to occupy a place, but we also have to fight for a better, nay, best future, and we also have to put down roots in the so-called high society," Reuben said excitedly, "Let those damned Protestants and Irish people see that this New York is not just up to them." ”
Perhaps sensing the resentful gaze of Adel and Clifford, Ruben hurriedly added: "Of course, you are not like those Irishmen, you are friends, and I am not talking about you." ”
