Chapter 48: The Front End
After a brief walk around the school, the three of them came to the office where the transfer and other related procedures were handled. Harvey said goodbye to the office staff in charge of the transfer process and Gwen, who was there to greet them, and left alone.
Harvey didn't plan to accompany Rick this time, but he came here to see his old friend again, and he had something to say, and since the other party was not there, he didn't have to waste time.
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief after Harvey left, the professor designated by the vice principal was still very aura, and he faced him like an ordinary police officer in a police station faced his father.
Standing in a corner of the office, he stole a glance at Rick, who was struggling to write.
His skin looks so delicate, but this thin figure seems to be being ostracized by his classmates.
Rick felt the gaze on him, stopped his pen, and looked up.
Facing Rick's gaze, Gwen smiled generously, then hesitated and said, "I still have some things to leave first, you fill in the information, and the teacher will take you through the next steps." β
Stretched out his right hand and secretly pointed to a white teacher on the desk next to him who was leisurely drinking coffee.
"Yes, okay. Thank you, Gwen. β
After filling out forms, taking tests, assigning classes, selecting classes, and so on, Rick entered a boring high school life.
There are no clichΓ©d classroom contradictions.
Rick lay on the table and listened to the class boredly after a brief introduction to the class under the guidance of the teacher, bored looking at the clock on the wall, and walked minute by minute.
Suddenly, there was a burst of mobile phone music in the quiet classroom, and the source was none other than Rick, who had an embarrassed look on his face.
Rick has two mobile phones on his body, one is for his daily family use, and the other is secret, which is currently known only to Roger, the leader of his organization of Dire, and the original insider Xiao Hei has no news at Roger's behest in Rick's secret.
Rick's face tightened when he saw the caller number on the secret phone, and then he returned to his normal expression and told the teacher in front of him that he was in a hurry, and then left the classroom in a hurry.
A burly white lecturer on the podium in front of him was also angry when he heard the mobile phone ringing in class, and he repeatedly emphasized that he was not allowed to play with mobile phones in class. But as soon as he turned around and saw that it was Rick, who was being taken care of by the vice principal, he was holding his mobile phone, and his anger dissipated instantly.
After nodding in agreement, he looked at the remaining sluggish students in the class, knocked on the big screen in front of him with the teaching PPT, and said, "Okay, Rick has something urgent, let's continue the class." β
"Shhh
Rick ran out of the classroom, down the aisle to a claustrophobic wood, and picked up the phone.
"Boss George, I'm Roger."
"It's me, you say."
"We've noticed something unusual in the villa you told us to pay attention to."
"We found that this villa is often infested with the kind of container trucks, and last night, our little brother found the trucks of this week in the slums of Brooklyn, but he was curious but didn't care, and when he went there to search for oil and water today, he suddenly heard that many gangsters and homeless people there were missing, and every time before the disappearance, someone said that they had seen similar vehicles."
"Okay, don't talk about it on the phone yet, I'm in Manhattan, you come to Times Square to pick me up, and we'll go back."
Rick hung up the phone and looked at the school building in front of him, and some of the students in the playground in front of the building.
Shaking his head, this kind of life is still not for him.
In a Starbucks next to Times Square, Rick sat quietly by the window of the store, drinking coffee.
Out of the corner of the eye, keep an eye out for the traffic on the street in front of the central square.
Suddenly, a pitch-black Ford Expedition pulled up to the side of the road, the cab door opened, and a man stepped down.
The man was wearing a black blazer, and when he got out of the car, he looked left and right as if he was looking for something.
Rick waited quietly for 10 minutes, pulled out the money to settle the bill, and then walked where the Ford had stayed.
Rick walked around Roger's gaze and walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
Feeling the touch on his left shoulder, Roger tightened his whole body, and subconsciously put his right hand on his waist.
"Roger, get in the car, go."
After a familiar voice came from his ears, he calmed down with a hint of fear.
Roger boasted that he had also been in the underground for many years, and he had come all the way to his current position in the rain of knives and guns, but his body did not have much damage that symbolized honor, and his vigilance and danger awareness were his pride.
And this time, when he came to pick up Boss George, he quietly touched his side, if it was not his hand that patted his shoulder, but a knife facing his neck, I am afraid that he would have been in a different place.
"Yes, Boss George."
Without waiting for Roger to open the car door, Rick opened the back door of the Ford and took his seat, Roger consciously opened the cab door and started the car.
"Boss, this thing..."
"Don't worry, you drive well, find a place to talk, and you call the people in the slum who know the situation and ask together."
The car was parked in a posh bar on Park Slope in Brooklyn, and although it was still daytime, there were still a lot of people drinking and clubbing here.
After receiving a call from his second brother, Rhodes Herbert, who was in the back room of the bar, immediately went to the lobby to disperse the people in the bar, and on the other hand, sent someone to the slums of Brook to bring people over.
In the corner of the bar, Rick and the three Roger brothers sat separately, and after listening to the report of Rhodes, who copied the surveillance mission, Rick slowly had some ideas in his heart.
Osborne's biological laboratory, missing homeless people and thugs.
Together, the two are human trials.
"Boss George, that little thug in the Brooklyn ghetto with some news is here, right at the door, now let him in?"
At this time, there were only three brothers in the bar, Rick and Russell, Roger, and Rhodes.
Rick took out the orange cat mask from the space and put it on, saying, "Let him in and see if there is any other interesting news?" β
In front of him, Rick's empty hand suddenly appeared with an extra mask, although they had all seen it earlier, but seeing this magical scene again, the three Roger brothers were still very surprised,
A small white man with a thin body, wearing a shabby denim jacket and still smelling all over his body, walked into the bar and saw Rick and the others sitting on the side, and walked over tremblingly.
The four people in front of him, three are the three Roger brothers who are currently in charge of the largest force in the underground of Brook District, and it is rumored that the collapse of the two major forces before the Russian Gang and the Mafia is related to them.
The other is very eye-catching, but he is well-informed that the reason for the fall of the Russian gang is that a man wearing an orange cat mask killed the headquarters of the Russian gang and single-handedly killed all the core of the Russian gang.
Rick stretched out his finger and tapped on the table, and Roger, who was on the side, asked knowingly, "I heard that you are the most well-informed in the Brooklyn underground?" β
"No, no, I'm just a mouthful, if you want to say that Brooklyn's strength still depends on you."
"But some ordinary gossip, I still know a little bit or two, as long as I know, I will tell you absolutely without reservation."
The little man swallowed, he had always been good at reading words and colors, and he could see that the person with the mask was the leader of the four, but when he heard Roger's question, he still held back the horror in his heart, ignoring Rick's compliments to Roger.
