062 Jimmy, the Poor Ghost

Jimmy and Cag finished their lunch in the shade of the tree, and lay down to rest, the sun was too strong, and now they were guilty of going to the boat, they were out to relax, not to fish for a living.

The sun gradually shifted its position, and the shade of the trees was now directly exposed to Jimmy. Jimmy was woken up by the heat and had to get up and change places to lie down and sleep, only to have his movements alarm Karg, and he woke up.

"By the way, Jimmy, you've been at the police station for a few months, why haven't you been seen hanging out with the others? Is it because we're much older than you and don't have a common language? ”

"No, there is only one reason, poor."

"No, you're now a Deputy Sheriff, which is more than enough for a bachelor like you." Karg is Jimmy's direct boss and knows his salary scale. The so-called Deputy Sheriff second-level allowance is two mountain lines, Jimmy was promoted before, remember? From one mountain pattern at the beginning, it has been improved to two.

"The salary is definitely enough to live, and there is more. But in the past few months, I have bought a gun, bought a car, and applied for a patent, which has been spent, and I am waiting to get a check to pay the next month's rent when I return to the police station on administrative leave. ”

"What patents? What did you invent? I think you graduated from high school. ”

"Well, I used my break to redesign the police light system, and luckily I got the support of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law, who helped me apply for a patent and am now going through the process."

“Holy shXt! There was an inventor in our police department. How's your police light? Is it easy to use? Are there ready-made ones? ”

"It's just a prototype, and it hasn't been decorated yet, but I've made a single-barrel police light, and I'll take it to the police station to show you."

"Very good, this is really surprising news, I am waiting for your new police lights, if it is good, I can talk to Director James and see if I can purchase a batch for testing. You know. ”

"Thank you, I haven't figured out how to produce it yet, this thing is relatively simple to make by hand, and it will be troublesome to mass produce. But it's not a big problem, and when the time comes, find other factories to customize the OEM. ”

"Okay, since you're so poor, let's wait, but when you come back, it's better to deal with other people, you're the youngest in the police department, and the youngest of the others is in their 30s, you know, don't let yourself be isolated from the team."

"That's what you promised to shoot me for, I see."

When the sun turned west, the two got on the boat again and continued to shoot fish, this time, Jimmy picked up Carg's compound bow, the 40-pound pull force was not suitable at first, but there were hand scatters and eccentric wheels to reduce the pull, as long as the bow was pulled, it was very labor-saving, you can aim with peace of mind, pull the trigger with your hand, and the arrow will be shot.

"Karg, is this kind of crossbow common in the United States?"

"Yes, many people like to buy compound bows for hunting, which are lightweight, small in size, powerful, and very useful hunting tools."

"It does seem to have a lot of advantages, but it's also a bit too powerful, and it's very dangerous for people."

"I know what you mean, but you know, we live in a free world, and the proliferation of guns is so serious that compound bows are no longer a problem compared to guns."

Jimmy was a little speechless, the life experience of his previous life was almost completely meaningless in the United States, and the definition of danger here was obviously much lower than the domestic floor of his previous life.

"Jimmy, don't worry, we are police, as long as we strangle the danger in the cradle in advance, we will be safe, Noah should have taught you how to avoid danger before, as long as we can do that, our safety is still guaranteed." Karg comforted Jimmy for a few words, and then thought of something.

"By the way, for you, since you already have a nickname, don't let this nickname be disgraced. I'm just here to say that for us, killing criminals is the greatest contribution to the world. Not only does it reduce the risk of others being attacked, but it also saves government resources. ”

"woooooo, I really didn't know you were so cynical."

"I'm almost 50 years old, I've been in the army, I've been in the war, I have a suitable job, I have a family, a wife, children, and I'm not the hot-blooded person I used to be. Now I just want to live in peace and retire in a few years. ”

"In the army, nicknames are very important, a person has his own nickname, it represents the recognition of others for him, whether it is a lone wolf or a butcher, it can represent that the person has been respected by others. Of course, soft eggs and rookies don't count. ”

"Okay, Carg, I know, but, butcher isn't a good nickname in the police community, and the residents might equate me with someone."

"Don't worry, as long as we approve of it, we can ignore the rest, and try not to participate in those newspaper and TV interviews, they are not good people."

"Okay, I remember."

The two played for a while, and then called it a day, and Carg took Jimmy back to the club, returned the fishing boat, cleaned it up, and drove back.

Jimmy stayed home for another day, and he hadn't received a call from the police yet, and because of the administrative leave restrictions, he couldn't leave here to play anywhere else, and it was really uncomfortable to be idle.

Jimmy went to the supermarket to buy some shelf-stable food and canned food, and drove to the homeless camp where he had first arrived.

Jimmy came to see Jerry, and after he went to work in the restaurant, every once in a while, he would come to Jerry to chat with them, and bring them some food to change their tastes.

Jerry and they don't want to go out to work, they basically rely on food banks for daily food, and occasionally go to get some other food, of course, the means are not so good-looking, and Jimmy can't bring them perishable food, because there is no refrigerator and other preservation methods, shelf-stable food and canned food are already the most suitable gifts.

After chatting with Jerry for a while, he left, of course Jerry knew that Jimmy went to the county police station soon after working in the restaurant, but he didn't want Jimmy to come over often, not that Jimmy would be in any danger, but that the homeless group was naturally hostile to the police, although Jerry knew that Jimmy was a good boy, but other people were still not very friendly when they saw Jimmy.

This is not something that Jerry can solve alone, and it is basically impossible to reverse the will of these people. For Jerry, it was a joy to watch a young man be rescued from this hell by himself.

Jimmy is also helpless, he doesn't know what happened to Jerry, he just doesn't want to find a stable job, he just wants to be a homeless person with no fixed home.
