Chapter 18: Frank Custer

In the joyful atmosphere, a down-and-out middle-aged man is always out of place with the atmosphere of the whole restaurant.

When Alvin was holding Ginny to make her happy, the middle-aged man leaned over, his elbows propped up on the bar, facing Alvin sideways, looking at the lively crowd a little lonely.

"Bring me a whiskey."

The man's eyes Alvin are very familiar, when JJ first came, it was his kind of eyes, not murderous, but very numb, looking at everyone like looking at a corpse, like a machine more like a living person, and he was injured, with a strong smell of disinfectant and blood.

Alvin looked at him, in this joyous atmosphere, there was no mention of bad scenery, only beer was free today. Took a wine glass and poured him a glass of whiskey. Shoved in front of him. Smiled, "Hope you have a nice night." ”

The man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Can you talk?" ”

"About what?" Alvin asked curiously.

The man sighed and said with some hesitation, "About that child." As he spoke, he pointed to the ceiling.

Alvin was a little confused, a little guarded, and said in a cold voice: "Who? Nick? Who are you? ”

The man drained the whiskey from the glass in one gulp, covered his face in pain, and said, "Who am I?" I am a terrible husband, an irresponsible father, a fool who doesn't know what is the most important thing in life. ”

Alvin looked at the man thoughtfully, beckoned Jessica to come over, and took care of Ginny, "Ginny, play with Sister Jessica for a while, okay?" Dad has something to do. ”

Jessica ran over with a flush of excitement on her face. found that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, and seeing the down-and-out man, Jessica said, "It's you, you're here again." Turning to Alvin, he said, "He's been here for days, and I want to talk to you in the afternoon." There seems to be something going on with him. ”

Alvin nodded his head in understanding, and handed Ginny to Jessica, "Jessica, take my princess upstairs and play for a while." I have something here. ”

Kissed Ginny on the little cheek and watched Jessica take Ginny upstairs.

"Let me guess, you're Nick's phone call-only father?" Alvin ignored the man's pain and asked sharply.

The man didn't pay attention to Alvin's tone, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I am the irresponsible father. As he spoke, he pushed the glass to Alvin, "Please bring me a drink." ”

Alvin poured him another full glass of whiskey and watched him drink it all without speaking, Alvin knew that the man had a lot to say, and he just had to be a good listener.

"I was the best special forces commander in the country! I was born and died for this country! Even at the expense of giving up his family life! I didn't even go and see for myself when Nick was born! The man pushed the glass to Alvin.

Alvin could feel the anger in the man's tone, both to himself and to the country. He needs a little wine and a good listener. He pushed a whole bottle of whiskey to the man, signaling that he was listening.

The man picked up the bottle and took a sip of it, "I was dying for this country, but my wife and son were bombed, my wife died, and my son lost his left leg. Those damn politicians hid bad news from me and sent me on a year-long mission. Those bitches just treat me like a machine and think that our lives and families are not worth mentioning! The murderers, the bitches of the Italian mafia, were still at large until I found them and stuffed them into the meat grinder. ”

Alvin swallowed his saliva, he knew that the Italian mafia "Cesare" family in the port area, a family of more than 40 people, were all killed, stuffed into a meat grinder, ground into meat sauce, and the whole family finally packed two coffins and hurriedly buried. Then a guy came here and told him that I did it! It's a little too exciting! The Cesare family has no good people, that's admitted! But he's killed even the cats and dogs, this is a living Hades!

The man ignored Alvin's slightly changing face and took a sip of wine, "What hurts me the most is that my former best comrades-in-arms also tried to hide the truth of the matter and tried to prevent me from taking revenge. Just told me Nick was alive and gave me the address here. ”

Alvin complained in his heart, with your Hades temperament, I don't dare to tell you! All 46 members of the Cesare family, bodyguards, men, and 16 fucking guests, were all killed. A small war can't kill so many people!

"I've been here for a few days, thank you! Thank you! Not only because you saved Nick's life, but now Nick is good, I never thought Nick was like that. The man's eyes lit up, "Although he is missing a leg, he is cheerful and sunny, and he does not have a little inferiority." I don't know how you do it, but man, thanks! ”

Alvin waved his hand, poured himself a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and said, "Is your trouble solved?" I mean trouble outside of the Cesare. You know that I am my family when Nick, and you, who are just a former phone father, only exist in Nick's fantasy. If you're still in trouble, I think I'll stop you from getting close to Nick, you must have looked into me, you should know, I have the ability. ”

The man glanced at Alvin, not angry because of Alvin's threatening tone, but gave him a military salute very solemnly, "I won't thank you for Nick, I can see that you get along like a family." I thank you for myself, for saving me from the pain of hell, for keeping the last light in my life. As he spoke, he lifted the bottle and touched it with Alvin, and took another big sip. There's no trouble, remember the former comrade-in-arms I was talking about, I made a deal with him, not to go to the troubles of those bitch raised politicians, he will solve all my current troubles for me. ”

Alvin, relieved, he was actually quite conflicted. Even if this guy is full of trouble, if he wants to see Nick, can Alvin really stop him? He knew how much Nick longed for his father, who was a hero in his heart. Although Alvin has mostly replaced his father's role, he is not Nick's real father. If this guy doesn't show up, then maybe Nick will forget about it after a long time, but it's only been a year.

I hate to admit it, but this guy is truly an amazing guy. If he is in China, he is a model of a soldier, a figure like the top ten model workers. Although Alvin does not quite approve of the kind of behavior that puts aside the family and serves the country. But when this kind of person appears in front of you, you have to give him a thumbs up and say, "Good work!" ”

Alvin, raising his glass, "Can you take the liberty of asking, who are your comrades-in-arms?" There can be so much energy. It's a big deal that so many people died. ”

The man picked up the bottle and touched it with Alvin, "Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Alvin's mind instantly appeared with the image of an ugly and ugly black one-eyed dragon. Alvin took a sip of wine and asked, "Then your name is ~"

The man looked at Alvin, and "Frank" said and reached out to shake Alvin, and solemnly introduced himself: "I'm Frank Custer." ”
