Chapter 1: The Twilight Zone

Next Chapter

Charlie is in a good mood these days, and his daughter is coming to live with him, which is good news, and everyone in the police station can feel that this usually silent sheriff has changed.

Charlie took a rare leave of absence and drove his old blue police car to his friend, an Indian, who often fished together.

"Hey, Billy, how's my car?" The police car pulled up in front of an Indian souvenir shop, a Native American sanctuary where whites were not welcome, let alone the police.

Charlie's arrival did not make a wave, and it is accurate to say that the residents of the neighborhood are "well-informed" and familiar with the police car and its owner.

Sheriff Charlie Swan is one of the few popular "outsiders" here, as his old friend Billy Black.

"Hey, man, it's there, there's a couple of parts to fix, and I promise to get it moving when you need it."

A handsome and somewhat childish Indian boy came out of the store pushing a wheelchair, and the one in the wheelchair was talking.

He is about the same age as Sheriff Swan, with his hair draped over his shoulders and a black cowboy hat, unlike the boys in the city who pursue artistry and have long hair, and his wheelchair and long hair do not hide his hard-core and the wisdom of the elderly, adding that his son has long hair just like him.

"Hopefully such an old man, Jacob didn't go to school?" Charlie looked at the teenager pushing the wheelchair.

"He's got to fix my car, Bella is coming back tomorrow, right?"

"yes, I think she'll love the gift I gave her." Thinking of his daughter, Charlie, a rough man who usually doesn't smile, also showed a smile from the bottom of his heart that he didn't even notice.

"There's still a bureau to do tomorrow, and I'm going to pick up Bella again, so I'll let Jacob drive over."

"Thank you, Jacob, I have to go to school again, and there is still a little transfer to be completed." Sure that the gifts he prepared would arrive on time, Charlie put a stone down in his heart.

"Just let Liszt go to the formalities, Bella is in the same school as him."

Charlie opened the door of the police car, leaned his shoulder on the door and shook his head: "No, Liszt went to the police station to help on the weekend, and he is probably still patrolling." ”

"He's still pestering you to be a cop? You just promise him, you, the sheriff, have the right to call the shots over this little thing, and the people in the town like this lively boy. ”

"No, he's still a kid, he still has to study, I want to send him to New York to go to college, he has good grades, if he still wants to be a policeman after graduating from college, then he doesn't have a future here."

Charlie saw very clearly, he just had to be a little sheriff in this town for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to go anywhere else, but Liszt still had a great future.

The next day, Charlie drove north to Port Angel in a patrol car to pick up Isabella Marie Swan, who had been on a five-hour flight.

"Bella, you're not cold, there's a coat bought for you in the back, put it on a little warmer."

Bella was amazed that her rugged father would become so careful, which she had never expected, although she was not very looking forward to Charlie's taste, but she still opened it very face-saving and looked at it, thinking that no matter what the color was, she would give the caring Sheriff Swan a happy expression.

Surprisingly, the clothes were quite pleasing to her, which made Bella wonder if Charlie had started dating someone else, but she quickly dismissed the unrealistic suspicion.

"How about it, do you still like it?" There was some expectation in Charlie's tone, but it was not obvious, he hoped that Bella would like his gift, although he was unimpressed when the kid gave him advice.

"I love it." Even if she doesn't like it, Bella won't say it, she doesn't want to have a stiff relationship with Charlie just after they meet, not to mention that she does like it.

Both of them are silent personalities, and when a topic ends, it is difficult to find the next topic, which makes both the father and daughter in the car feel embarrassed, this is not a normal father-daughter relationship, but both of them are too silent.

"I've got a good car for you to drive, it's really cheap." Charlie couldn't help but want to tell Bella.

"What kind of car?" Bella knows Charlie well, and the word good car can be completely ignored, so she is skeptical.

"A pickup truck, learn from Fran, I promise it's going to be cool, someone has put makeup on her." It wasn't like something Charlie could easily say, but he remembered that the kid had reminded him to change his personality, and although he didn't like the suggestion, he didn't mind trying it for the sake of his daughter.

"You're talking about modified cars? Wow, it's not like what you do, Dad. ”

Not very accustomed to Charlie's sudden humor, Bella tentatively, but she was really curious about the modified car.

"Well, it's a bit old, red, and hasn't been modified yet, Jacob is repairing it, but Liszt said he'll do it when he comes back." Charlie was embarrassed to say that the car was given by Billy, but fortunately Liszt had mentioned to him about helping with the modification, otherwise he didn't know how to explain it, and hoped that the kid's skills could pass.

"I know" Bella didn't want to express her inner disappointment, and she didn't want to say "I like it very much" or something like that, and asked casually, "Who is Liszt?"

Modify it as she wants, and it doesn't sound like much of a cost.

All the way back to Charlie's home, it is still a small ...... of the previous two bedrooms Wait, on that big tree next to it, is that a treehouse?

In the patrol car, Bella looked at the old house after three years of absence, and was surprised to find this amazing change, she liked the big city, but such noiseless novelties also attracted her.

"Dad, did you build this treehouse? It's really beautiful. ”

Bella was pleasantly surprised but didn't shout, but there was no shortage of joy on her face, and she even wondered if this was a gift from Charlie?

Charlie opened his mouth in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it.

"Bella came to see your car, this is my gift to you."

When you don't know how to explain a problem, the quickest way to solve the problem is to distract the other person.

Liszt finished his weekend patrol on a second-hand Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Charlie's daughter is moving in today, and Liszt receives a call to go back early to introduce the two to each other.

Liszt himself also wanted to meet this beautiful girl he met two years ago, she was very much like a Hollywood actress in her previous life.

Isabella Swan, he met him when he was in California two years ago, it seemed that Charlie took him to California for a trip at that time, I don't know if this girl still recognizes him, Twilight Girl, she was really a fan of her in her previous life, it's so cool.
