Chapter 5: Childhood Playmates

Since returning from the Science Museum in the city center, Ronnie's life has returned to peace.

Maria. The business card given by Hill was also placed on the bedside table by Ronnie, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Ronnie's daily life is regular and boring. School, library, home. The life of the three points and one line is dull and boring. It is in stark contrast to the colorful college life of other college students.

The last time I killed those drug dealers, I got two boxes of 100 dollar bills. After the money laundering, it suddenly added a large amount of money to Longny's bank card account.

Relying on these stolen money, Ronnie has had a very good life since he was a child.

Inside the City Library.

Ronnie glanced at the time, it was nearly twelve o'clock.

"It's time to go home." Thinking about it, Ronnie decided to go to the library's small supermarket to buy a bottle of water first, feeling a little thirsty.

But people are not as good as heaven. The cash register of the small supermarket is out of order. The cashier was a little old man, and he was slowly settling accounts on scratch paper.

As the minutes ticked by, the queue for payment did not move.

Ronnie had a backpack at his feet and a drink in his hand. looked up wordlessly at the little old man who was still writing the dragon snake. The brain was racing.

If you don't buy water and go directly, the previous ten minutes of queuing will be wasted. If you continue to queue, there is a high probability that you will not be able to catch the last bus home.

For a car-free person, it's quite a long way to get from the city library to Brooklyn. If you walk back, you will be able to prepare dinner when you get home.

"It's your turn." The girl behind her poked Ronnie and said.

Ronnie's spirits lifted, and the people in line in front of him unanimously chose not to buy and leave.

Hurriedly stepped forward. The old man glanced at the drink in Ronnie's hand and said, "One bottle is three pieces of five, and two bottles of nine pieces." ”

"......" is not reasonable! Glancing at the time, Ronnie gave up arguing and pulled out ten dollars.

At this time, the old man shouted again: "Wait! ”

Ronnie paused.

The old man continued, "I want to check!" ”

I'll check your uncle! Collecting accounts is not engaging in scientific research!

Ronny dropped the money, grabbed his backpack and ran out.

The car has arrived, and it's going to be late!

Backpack on his back, Ronnie ran out of the library.

Ronnie was unsurprisingly late. The bus starts and heads ahead. If he misses the bus, Ronnie won't be able to get home until 3 p.m.

In order to get home, Ronnie ran wildly, jumping up and down, trying to attract the attention of the bus driver.

Then.

"Policeman, that's him!" A shout rang out behind him.

Ronnie ignored it and continued to run forward. Suddenly, two black shadows pounced from behind.

Years of grinding in the killing allowed Ronnie to react in an instant.

The backhand restrained a person's right hand, and with a big stride he turned around, and his arm reversed, instantly locking the person's neck. At the same time, he kicked the other person with his right foot.

The huge force blows the air, producing a slight concussive sound, which is terrifying!

At this time, Ronnie also saw the appearance of the attacker.

The police?!!!

Ronnie was startled, and his right foot stopped in mid-air, less than a centimeter away from the fat policeman's face.

The fat policeman looked at the soles of his shoes and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

Ronnie hurriedly let go of the policeman who was chained by his neck.

"Ahem, ahem! Ahem! Ahem...... "The policeman was locked up and almost suffocated. Suddenly I was loosened and I felt like I was alive. Take a big gulp of fresh air.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was the police, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Ronnie hurriedly apologized. In the United States, assaults on police officers are a big deal.

At the same time, Venom secretly scolded him in his heart and did not remind him. The guy must have recognized this as a policeman, waiting to see his jokes.

"Catch him!" The fat cop angrily pointed at Ronnie, and a bunch of cops rushed up. Ronnie didn't resist this time, and let the police pinn him to the ground. Yu Guang looked at the voice that asked the police to arrest him.

It was a girl, with a blurred outline in the backlight. Ronnie could only see her in a ponytail, full of energy.

The policeman who knocked down Ronnie then spoke, "We are policemen, and now we suspect that you are involved in a theft, so come with us." ”

What？ Theft? Excuse me？？？

In this way, a confused Ronnie was dragged to the New York Police Department.

When he arrived at the police station, Ronnie finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that the girl was shopping at the small supermarket, and when she stood in line, Ronnie grabbed her backpack and ran. The girl ran after him, saw him enter the platform, and immediately called the police.

"It's ridiculous! How could I get the wrong bag? Ronnie said with a sneer.

The girl's expression was serious and she said, "You took it." ”

Ronnie sneered and shook his head, "I didn't take it!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the backpack on the side. His face changed suddenly.

"I have books and notebooks in my bag......"

Ronnie pinched his soft backpack and wanted to cry.

Seeing this, the girl snatched the backpack, opened the zipper, and poured the contents of the backpack on the table.

A couple of girls' clothes, toiletries, and a bunch of medicine bottles.

The girl was so excited that she pointed at Ronnie and said loudly, "What did I say!" He stole it, and he still doesn't admit it! ”

The corners of Ronnie's mouth twitched, looking at the girl's flying and domineering expression. Now, wouldn't it be too late to tell them that I got it wrong?

Fortunately, the police were well-informed and could see that Ronnie really seemed to have taken the wrong bag. It's just that the owner is very arrogant and forces them to conduct a complete interrogation.

The police had no choice but to follow the girl's request.

He patted the table, looked at Ronnie, whose hands were locked in handcuffs on the other side, and said, "Let's make a statement." Name, age, occupation, contact details. ”

Ronnie replied honestly, "My name is Ronnie." Ronnie. Scalob. Twenty-one years old, a junior at New York University. ”

The girl was obviously stunned for a moment, stopped the policeman who was about to continue to ask questions, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Ronny. Ronnie. Scalob. ”

"Ronnie from the New York Welfare Institute?"

Ronnie was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl uncertainly.

"You too...... Welfare home? ”

The girl grinned, stepped forward and hooked Ronnie's neck, and said enthusiastically, "Ronnie, I'm Catherine!" ”

Ronnie froze suddenly, and the dusty memories flooded back his mind.

On the afternoon of the summer vacation of elementary school, the sultry air suddenly cooled, and the little girl walked out of the shadow of the tree, and her golden ponytail swayed.

The little girl sat down next to Ronnie and smiled and said, "My name is Catherine. ”

This is his childhood playmate, the vanished Catherine.

After eleven years, Ronnie and Catherine meet again.
