Night.

In the warm living room, the girl glanced at Anna beside her, then at the pile of food on the table, swallowed her saliva, and endured the hunger in her belly.

Seeing this, Anna pointed to the food on the table and said, "If you're hungry, eat it." ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up a piece of hamburger steak made on the table, and took a big bite, the skin was crispy, the meat filling was soft and delicious, and the feeling of hometown deliciousness that she hadn't eaten for a long time made her cry excitedly.

Seeing the girl crying and gobbling up the hamburger steak, Anna asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl slowed down her eating, hesitated for a few seconds, and said weakly, "I... My name is Grea. ”

"Where are you from Russia?"

"Magadan Oblast, a small town near the city of Susuman."

"Susuman? I know there, a nice little city. ”

Anna remembers that when she was training at Cardinal Academy, she once went to Susuman City for a training session, and it was there that she met Dominica, which was one of the few happy moments Anna had during her time at Cardinal Academy.

Hearing Anna praise her hometown, Glea happily said, "Yes, Susuman is a good place. ”

"Then why did you come to the United States?"

"My father was sick, my mother also lost her job, the family conditions were not very good, and I had to take care of my younger siblings, so I wanted to come out and find a job, at first I just did a small job in my hometown, and then I heard Boris say that the money in the United States is very profitable......"

Speaking of this, Grea looked down.

"Boris is the man from before?"

Anna frowned, she knew that many Russian girls would be tricked into working in some gray industry abroad, although she was angry, but this kind of thing could not be prevented, because you can't control a person's mind.

"It wasn't him, Boris didn't come to the United States. As for the man... His name was Victor, and he was a small leader of the Russian mafia. ”

At the mention of Victor, a look of horror appeared on Grea's face, seeing how terrible this man was in her heart, just mentioning the name was enough to change color in horror.

"Where do you usually live?"

"An Old Town in Brooklyn."

"Are there any other girls besides you who are going through the same situation as you?"

"Yes, there are many, they are all controlled by Victor to come out and trade with people."

"Oops!" Suddenly, Grea stared at the boss, crying with horror on her face: "Terry is dead, Terry is dead!" ”

Anna frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who is Terry?" ”

"Woo... Tyri... Terry is my friend, my best friend! ”

Grea sobbed as she wiped her tears, "I'm out, they're going to make trouble for Terry, I have to go back, I have to go back!" ”

"Enough!"

Seeing the little girl crying, Anna was very upset, and shouted, "Tell me what the hell do you mean?" Why don't you go back, your best friend will die? ”

Perhaps frightened by Anna's momentum, Grea finally stopped crying and said with a trembling grin: "They, Victor, they have set a rule for us, but anyone who tries to escape, and everyone who lives in the same room with her will die." ”

What a cruel means!

Anna was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect a small gangster to think of such a cruel method, not only to tie up two people in a room, but also to let the girls who live together spy on each other, once someone tries to escape, the other person will definitely tell the truth, after all, no one wants to die.

This cruel method reminded Anna that she was once in the Cardinal Academy, and that the Cardinal Academy had the same method of sitting together at that time, which was even more cruel than what Grea mentioned, and almost made Anna and all the Cardinal Agents trained together become enemies of life and death, because no one knew if some of the things she said would be reported in the next second.

Grea pleaded, "Can you save Terry?" Please, get Terry out, as long as you get Terry, you can do whatever you want me to do, I'm fed up with that life. ”

Anna looked at the girl crying for herself, and the other party's immature face, just like herself and Dominica at the beginning, fell into deep contemplation.

……

"See McCall tomorrow!"

"See Byrne tomorrow."

McCall smiled and waved goodbye to his colleagues, turned around and took his package and walked out of the furniture store, after work, he did not rush home, but went straight to a nearby fast food restaurant as usual.

McCall doesn't have any family and is used to living alone, so he chooses this fast food restaurant for dinner every day.

Soon, it was time for a fast food restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, the owner of the fast food restaurant smiled and asked, "Is it still the same?" ”

"It's still the same." McCall smiled, he loved to eat sandwiches and pizza, which was his usual dinner for many years.

Turning to look at the small fast-food restaurant, McCall walked to the window seat, where he often sits.

Before waiting for the food to be served, McCall pulled out a book, flipped through the bookmarked page, and continued to read.

Suddenly, an argument outside the fast-food restaurant caught McCall's attention, and he looked sideways to see a young girl pulling and pulling with a strong man not far away from the glass window.

McCall didn't want to pay attention to it, but the quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and there was a big fight.

But somehow, the girl chatted with the strong man a few more words, took out some dollars from her bag and handed it to the strong man, which made the strong man leave satisfied.

"She's a pathetic person, and I can see her arguing with that man every day." The owner of the fast-food restaurant came over with a tray at some point and shook his head regretfully.

McCall was stunned, roughly understood what the boss meant, pondered for a few seconds, and said bitterly: "Who is not a poor person who lives in this world?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The boss sighed, put down the tray in his hand and said, "Okay, your sandwich and pizza, with your favorite cheese, believe me, my craftsmanship must be better today than yesterday." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

McCall closed the book, picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, and was about to pick up a sandwich to take a bite when the door of the fast food restaurant was pushed open, the wind chimes rang suddenly, and the girl who was arguing with someone outside the door walked in.

"What do you need?" When the owner of the fast food restaurant saw the girl come in, he asked with an unchanged expression, and he couldn't tell that he had just talked about the other party.

The girl looked around the fast-food restaurant, where there was only one customer, McCall, who saw him eating a sandwich and said, "Bring me a sandwich." ”

"Okay, right away." The fast-food restaurant owner walked quickly into the kitchen.

While waiting, the girl found a place to sit down, and when she was bored and took out her mobile phone to play a game, she suddenly noticed the book on McCall's desk out of the corner of her eye.

This book is very familiar to the girl, and when she was a child, she often read it, and she couldn't help muttering to herself: "How steel is made." (Russian)"
