14. Party

As is customary, Hank prepares a lively induction party for his new partner, which takes place at Hank's house, and Goofy is asked to bring his girlfriend to attend.

Hank told him that new police officers would be ridiculed if they didn't have a female companion at the induction party, and that the last rookie who attended the induction party alone was severely ridiculed by his colleagues for more than half a year.

So Gao Fei had no choice but to invite Cheng Jieqian to participate with him, and Jieqian righteously pushed down the day's dance class for him.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the party officially began.

Hank's home is on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, he lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building, and Hank has a happy family with two lovely young daughters.

Although his wife, Serena, has always been a little critical of Hank's profession, she is warm and friendly to her colleagues at the police station, and Goofy is warmly welcomed by her as soon as he enters the door, and he quickly gets along with Hank's family.

"Oh, Goofy, your girlfriend is beautiful!" Serena quickly spotted Cheng Jieqian who was following Gao Fei, and praised with a smile.

"No, you're mistaken, Serena." Goofy hurriedly clarified, "We're just friends. ”

"That's a shame." Serena's smile was full of meaning, "Remember, don't let good opportunities slip away, when you start working, you won't have time to go to the snow." ”

Hank immediately added on the sidelines: "If you were single before you became a police officer, then you will only remain single after you become a police officer, and if you are not single before you become a police officer, then you will be after you become a police officer...... There is a high probability that he will become single again. ”

Cheng Jieqian questioned this: "But Officer Hank, don't you have a happy family?" ”

Serena immediately smiled wryly: "Oh, dear, that's because you don't know how many times our marriage has been on the verge of breaking down. ”

"Twice a year." Hank said lightly, "Before my daughter was born, the frequency was twice a month. ”

Serena rolled her eyes, "Looks like you're very proud of this. ”

Hank shrugged and quickly ducked to the side to beckon the other colleagues.

The party was quiet and low-key, just a simple drinking and chatting between colleagues, no music noise, and no yelling. After all, they don't want to receive police calls from their neighbors complaining about nuisance, and they can't handle themselves when the time comes.

After eating Catherine's elaborate pastries, Hank and a few smokers went to the patio to smoke, and looked at the night view of Brooklyn by moonlight, when the keen old cop suddenly saw a fire coming out of an abandoned building at the end.

"Damn, this is a fire?"

Hank frowned, there was not a single day in Brooklyn that was peaceful.

"Calm down, Hank, give the fire department a call first, they've always been efficient, and they'll take care of this little thing." Roger, an old friend next to him, said with a smile that his principle of doing things is to hide if he can.

"We'll have to get over right now, while the fire doesn't spread." Unlike old fritter Roger, Hank is responsible.

"Okay." Roger nodded helplessly and followed Hank back to the living room.

"Friends, there's a mission, there's a fire in an abandoned building at the end of the block, so cheer up, put down your drinks, and get to work!" Hank commanded methodically.

"You mean the 'garbage building'?" Serena said nervously, "Then we have to act quickly, next to Zhenma and Jill's kindergarten, I don't want our daughter to have nowhere to go tomorrow." ”

When Goofy heard the news of the fire, his blood finally boiled after a long silence, this is a good opportunity, and joining the NYPD is indeed a chance to die.

He excitedly grabbed his coat and said eagerly, "Let's go, guys, go and see if there are any poor people in the fire who need to be rescued." ”

"Hey, Goofy." Cheng Jieqian nervously dragged him, "Pay attention to safety, the fire is not a joke, don't act rashly until you determine the size of the fire, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your little boyfriend." Hank patted Cheng Jieqian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, girl." ”

"He's not my boyfriend......" Jieqian denied with a red face.

"Hehe, don't doubt an old police officer's eyesight." Hank said with a smile, and then took his colleagues downstairs with a smoke.

————————

Located at the end of the block, the "garbage building" is said to have been built into a department store, but after it was abandoned, it became a paradise for homeless people, and most of the homeless people in the community gathered here.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the homeless people will burn a fire here at night to keep warm, and there has been no problem before, but today it is on fire.

After arriving at the scene, everyone found that the most serious fire was on the southwest side of the building, but fortunately this is not the most crowded place for homeless people, and most of the homeless people in the building have escaped in time.

This location is relatively remote, and there is no record of debris piled up inside, so it is really unbelievable that a fire suddenly ignited.

"When will the firefighters arrive?" Hank turned back and asked Sam, who was in charge of contacting them.

"Within ten minutes." Sam replied aloud.

"Is there anyone trapped in the fire?" Goofy was most interested in this matter, which determined whether he had the authority to rush into the fire and die.

Before Hank could reply, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the depths of the fire.

Obviously, there were still people in the fire.

Goofy felt a burst of joy in his heart: the opportunity has come.

"Oops, there's still people in the fire!" Hank's face changed, "Sam, you go first to calm the emotions of the trapped people; Roger, follow me to open a life-saving passage! ”

"Hank, the fire is already big, I think we should wait for the firefighters to arrive at the scene before ......" Roger began to bargain.

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, a figure had already drilled towards the fire.

It's Goofy!

"Goofy! Give me back! Hank shouted anxiously, "Stupid boy, the smoke will kill you!" ”

Goofy didn't listen at all, and he was already in the fire while Hank was talking.

If you don't do anything, the fire brigade will arrive, and when the fire is all extinguished, what will you do? As the saying goes, it's better to die sooner!

However, at this time, the fire had not completely spread, and the concentration of smoke and dust at the scene was acceptable, Gao Fei followed the cry to the depths of the building, and saw two people crawling on the ground not far away.

Both of them were homeless, and one of them was so confused by the smoke that if he hadn't been lying on the ground all the time, the smoke and dust at the scene would have killed him.

"Hold on!"

Goofy shouted loudly, picked up the guy and rushed out, and the moment he approached the homeless man, he smelled a pungent smell.

It's gasoline!

He has gasoline on him!

This means that he is carrying an incendiary bomb that can be ignited at any time, and if the slightest spark splashes over, it can ignite the homeless man!
