Lucy looked around vigilantly, it was already South Texas, the tall cacti and rusty street signs gave people a sense of desolate road movies, it was safe, and there was not even a car in sight.

"Frank, it's me." Lucy said, "Is it convenient to speak?" ”

"Convenient, where are you? Is it safe? Frank was concerned, got up with the telephone, and went into the inner room, where the small town sheriff's office was just a small house, working outside and a prison cell inside, and there were two bored ranchers drinking coffee in the office.

"Frank, listen, you've probably heard the police in New York say something about me, that's not the truth, we're killing people in self-defense." Lucy said.

Frank paused for a moment, he had heard Lucy's mother talk about the case of the New York student, but only said that he was suspected of kidnapping, but did not mention the murder.

"I'm twenty miles from town." Lucy went on to say, "I'm here with a friend, he needs to go to Mexico, but he doesn't have papers, Frank, can you help?" Please. ”

"I think I can help." Frank thought for a moment and said, "It's much easier to go to Mexico than to come to the United States, but I'm interested in your friend, if he's a fugitive......"

"He's not a fugitive, he's being hunted down by foreign agents, it's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it when you arrive, you must keep it secret, don't tell anyone." Lucy hung up the phone, Liu Handong filled up gasoline, and the two got into the car and continued to move forward.

Frank is a little confused, he is a simple western red neck, life is monotonous and boring, and he is not interested in the outside world, although Lucy is his stepdaughter, but he is a biological person with feelings, and now it seems that Lucy is in a big trouble, as a father, he should take action.

There was the roar of a large-displacement car engine outside, and when I went out, I saw that the car was wearing a New York license plate, and there were three people in the car, two whites and one Asian, all wearing dark suits and sunglasses, looking very spirited.

“？” The lead guy said, "We're federal agents from New York, my name is James, and we're here for Lucy's case." ”

He took out his ID and shook it, and Frank glanced at it, it should be true.

"How can I help you?" Frank didn't shake his hand, his hands clasped at either side of the belt, and he stood on the steps of the sheriff's office, looking down at the well-dressed guys from New York.

James looked up and said, "Is Lucy in touch with you?" ”

"Nope." Frank hesitated for half a second, but decided to lie, he didn't dump the FBI, this is his territory, he is the attorney general, and he has the final say on who is guilty.

"If there's any news, can you let me know in time?" James handed over a business card, a well-printed card with the FBI badge and the title of Deputy Chief of Secret Service.

"Of course." Frank put away his business card and looked at Escalade: "Very good car." ”

"yes, 4oo horsepower." Agent James smiled reservedly, "Runs as powerful as a bull." ”

"It's not necessarily good in the wilderness, it's only good for driving on the road." Frank spat in disdain.

James smiled and said, "Maybe, we drove for two days without resting, can we have a meal here, which restaurant is better." ”

Frank pointed, "Only that one." ”

There was only one restaurant in town, selling some hamburger and coke fried chicken wings or something, and there was no other choice, a few federal agents parked their car in front of the sheriff's office, entered the restaurant and ordered a bunch of food, chatting while eating, they were quite vigilant, there was still a person in the car, and the engine was not turned off.

Frank turned around and dialed back the number Lucy had called, but there was no one left, it was just a gas station not far away.

Twenty miles, soon to arrive, if Lucy and his friends meet these suits from New York, I'm afraid there will be some trouble, Frank is very anxious, think for a while, open the gun cabinet and get a Remington shotgun, go out and get into his truck, whizz away, there is only one way to come here, he is going to meet Lucy.

In the restaurant, the agents saw Frank driving away, exchanged glances with each other, invariably dropped the food, put a bill on the table, hula poured out the door, the driver on the Escalade immediately drove over, the four got into the car, and the fifth ordered: "Follow the sheriff's car, don't get too close." ”

Number Two said, "Don't worry, I've put a tracker on his car. ”

Ten minutes later, Frank casually glanced in the rearview mirror, and there seemed to be a car following him on the road with smoke and dust, far away, but he could also tell that it was the black Escalade.

Frank spat viciously out of the open window, got off the roadbed with a dozen steering wheels, and ran wildly on the gravel ground, he drove a four-wheel-drive truck, a Ford in the nineties, old and strong, with a high-horsepower chassis that walked on any ground as if it were on the ground.

Escalade didn't follow, but stopped on the side of the road in a playful way.

Frank sneered, turned a big corner and continued on the road, and in the distance there was a dusty pickup truck coming from the east. Frank picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and the hot vapor on the ground was distorted, but he could tell that it was not a Texas license plate.

Probably Lucy, Frank pulled over, pulled out his revolver, broke the hammer and reinserted the holster, and stood on the side of the road with his waist crossed.

"It's Frank!" Lucy in the Ford pickup screamed in surprise and pointed to the tower-like man in a cowboy hat dancing in the distant sunset, "Cool, isn't it." ”

"Yes." Liu Handong breathed a sigh of relief, victory was in sight, and when he arrived in Mexico, the sky was high and the birds could fly, at least he didn't have to worry about being hindered by US law enforcement agencies.

After driving some distance forward, the pickup stopped, and Lucy jumped out and pounced on Frank, hanging on him with great affection.

"Okay Lucy, tell me about your friends." Frank put his daughter down and stared at the people in the car.

Liu Handong got out of the car, pinned an M9 to his waist very casually, and he nodded and greeted: "Hi, Mr. Jackson." ”

Frank didn't like any people of color and ignored Liu.

"Let's send my friend across the border now, his name is Li Ang, and he is Chinese." Lucy was nervous, "We're being hunted by very good people, and maybe they're going to chase them here, but Frank you're going to teach them a lesson, right?" ”

"Of course, I'll kick them in the ass." Frank laughed, and couldn't help but ring out a few of the guys in Escalade, as FBI agents, there seemed to be more Asians in this squad.

A mile away, Three was hiding behind a sand dune and observing with a telescope.

"The current target, Five, please take action."

"Kill him." Number Five coldly ordered,

No. 1 took out a sniper rifle and looked at it with a rangefinder first: "No, the distance is too far, and the hit rate is not high." ”

"Fight when you get closer, and don't get into a confrontation with the local police." Number Five said.

No. 4 grinned and said: "Afraid of Mao, dare to get in the way and kill directly, this kind of western red neck is a racist and should be killed." ”

On the side of the road, Frank touched Lucy's head, "What's the matter with the wound on your head?" ”

"It's okay, there was a Chinese who wanted to scalp me, but in the end he was killed by Leon." Lucy urged, "Let's go to the border now, okay." ”

The U.S.-Mexico border is not so easy to smuggle, although it is a desolate desert, but there are power grids and trenches, as well as ubiquitous cameras and sensors, as long as there are cars and people approaching, the police will call the police, patrol police arrive in minutes, of course, mainly to prevent smugglers and drug dealers on the Mexican side, few people are smuggled from the United States to Mexico.

Frank shook his head: "In my territory, I am not allowed to sneak across the border. Seeing Lucy pursed her lips, she added, "But I can send your friend through the port and cross the border legally." ”

With that, he got into the truck and beckoned Lucy to get in.

"You're behind us." Frank shouted at Liu Handong.

Liu Handong got into the car, started it, and followed the truck.

In the distance, the agents missed the opportunity and hurriedly got into the car to chase after them, and No. 3 said, "Why don't we cross the border also and do it again when we get to Mexico, so that we can avoid a lot of trouble." ”

No. 4 said impatiently: "I'm afraid of any trouble, we're just doing this, how can we complete the task after looking ahead, and we will all die, clean and neat, and no one can find out." ”

No. 5 pondered for a moment, and decided to follow No. 4's plan, that the task was to be completed, and that indiscriminate killing of innocents or causing trouble should not be in his consideration.

On the truck, Frank asked Leon about the details, Lucy introduced the background of the story in the simplest language, Frank had the bottom in his heart, this Leon was probably an agent with some secrets, exiled in the United States and chased by the spy agency of his homeland, Lucy was just unfortunately involved.

"After sending him to Mexico, you have to go back to New York." "The police in New York will find out," Frank said. ”

"Got it." Lucy replied vaguely, in fact, she also wanted to go to Mexico.

Frank habitually glanced in the rearview mirror, and the Mississippi license plate pickup truck was everywhere, and the road behind him was still full of smoke and dust, and the haunted Escalade followed.

Liu Handong also appeared as an Escalade, the appearance of a car with a New York license plate on the U.S.-Mexico border only shows a problem, the chasing soldiers have arrived, whether it is an FBI detective or a Chinese agent, he will not be arrested, he has nothing to lose, the only thing he has is freedom.

Frank braked sharply and pulled over, Liu Handong crossed him and stopped, and looked at Frank with an inquiring gaze.

"You and Lucy are waiting for me in front." Frank said.

Lucy got out of the car and hurriedly ran over to get into the pickup.

Frank reversed the truck and put it across the road, took the Remington Five, loaded it with a thud, and stood behind the car in wait.

"You can't beat them, they have automatic weapons." Liu Handong persuaded kindly.

"Boy, this is my territory." Frank grinned and pointed to the badge on his chest, "I've got the final say, you know." ”

Liu Handong didn't say anything anymore, and walked away with one foot on the accelerator.

In Carredrie, the agents took out their submachine guns, loaded them, opened the safes, and put on bulletproof vests.
