Chapter 38: Only family comes first
"So are we smashing your ass and dragging you to American territorial waters, or are you going to fuck yourself, Canada? Or if you want to fight a small-scale U.S.-Canada naval war, which side of the U.S. Coast Guard or the Canadian Coast Guard will come faster? Then, Rocco Wadman, who has been out to sea all year round and is accustomed to such scenes, took over Colin Hawke's voice and shouted at the other party with a loudspeaker.
Colin Hawke, carrying a double-barreled shotgun and following his co-workers and partners, peeked out from the deck.
In the face of the current situation, the Canadian Augusta fishing boat did not hesitate, obediently turned around and left, after all, Rocco Waldman's K.K.S. ship type at the moment is close to it, and it can't take advantage of it if there is a real conflict, and it just wants to take advantage of the opportunity, not to cheapen the Americans with its own ship.
"Wise choice, Canada." Seeing that the other party turned around and left, Rocco Wadman said coldly.
Tommy had looked at the K.K.S. slowly approaching with an ugly face, but as the ship got closer and saw the faint cargo piled up on the ship, his expression slowly changed from gloomy to stunned.
"Your face seems strange when you see me appear, son." Colin Hawke threw the cable at Tommy, smiling in his mouth.
Tommy took the cable and secured it, and the two boats slowly leaned side by side, and before the pedals could be laid, Colin Hawk jumped from the KKS to Tommy's side.
"You haven't had time to go to Canada yet?" When he really saw the cigarettes piled up on the ship like a hill, Tommy Hawk asked Daddy with a surprised expression.
As long as the goods are still on the ship, and they are on the high seas at the moment, even if the coast guard anti-smuggling teams of the United States and Canada appear in full gear and surround them, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to tell them that their father picked up a batch of cigarettes on the ship and is about to hand them over, or they are in a bad mood and throw them all into the sea, they can only watch, dare to board the ship on the high seas without law enforcement rights to stop it, unless the coast guard decides to kill people and kill everyone and take away some cigarettes, otherwise it just gives Dad a chance to legally extort the government.
Colin Hawke shook his head: "I should have arrived in Canada by now according to the original plan, but I always remember what I told you that night, you are still a child, Tommy, and you can be unscrupulous until you are an adult." And the premise of your unscrupulousness is that with your dad by your side to take care of you, I can't let my son have a little problem when he is a unscrupulous child, so ......"
"So you've been sailing your boat until now, and we've been around you like a guard for Ronald Reagan, like a bodyguard for the president, boy! F*ckYou, Colin, don't talk a little fleshy, you haven't done anything since you boarded the ship! But they ate the most food and drank the most wine! Mr. Wilson, who was full of beard, walked over at this moment, reinforced the plank, and said to Tommy Hawke: "You are college material, Tommy, it is the first time I know that I don't have to worry about going to jail for selling so many smuggled goods, you know, I just stole a few tires from Rogers's family and sold them to the garage and were found by the police, well done!" ”
"The members of the Hawke family have always been wise men full of wisdom, and this is a gift, Wilson!" Colin Hawke heard Wilson's praise of his son, and said with pride on his face: "Tommy is exactly like me, remember, I used to be the one who knows the most words among you, this is the genetic wisdom of the Hawke family, it is endless, otherwise the union would not have sent me to continue to lead you after you lost your job." ”
The balding Mr. Morin came over with a whiskey bottle and staggered on the board: "Shut up, Colin, the gap between your shit plan and Tommy's plan is like the gap between your **length and mine** length!" It's as far away as the Eiffel Tower in the middle! You even offered to let us go to the New York City government and sell smuggled cigarettes to smokers protesting against cigarette price increases! Damn it! If you follow the plan you said, a few of us and Wilson and his hapless relatives are now crouching in a private room in the NYPD to help the cops**! ”
When Morin passed by Tommy, he didn't forget to pat Tommy on the shoulder: "Well done, Hawke boy!" ”
"So you're not ready to continue venturing to Canada? Mr. Morin? Mr. Wilson? Seeing the reactions of several people, Tommy asked out loud to Maureen and Wilson in more and more surprise.
Maureen took a sip of wine, turned his head to look at Tommy, and shrugged: "Of course not, we're poor Americans, and we're not fucking American idiots?" Did I just compliment you, Tommy? I take back the compliment just now, you could have not asked such a retarded question, obviously, you have to stay away from your old man, only two minutes of contact with him, and your IQ has plummeted like a plane crash. ”
"Really?" Tommy Hawk looked at his dad in disbelief: "Won't go to Canada?" Mr. Morin, they would agree? ”
Colin Hawk smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, no one wants to send themselves to prison, Maureen said, they are not stupid, not to mention that I am the fucking majority shareholder of this order, only Thomas can pose some threat to my decision, but that guy can only abstain from voting now, so any bullshit that these small shareholders say doesn't need to be considered, whichever objection will throw his goods overboard and let him swim to Canada to trade." ”
"So, you can afford to sell it here at a low price...... Tommy felt at this moment that Alida must be blessed by heaven for her family, and there was no better outcome.
Colin Hawke nodded at his son's words, looked around and said, "Yes, right here, sell to these three lucky Italians at the price you agreed." ”
"Why, I'm so grateful to you Daddy for making this wise decision, from the bottom of your heart, but why?" Tommy asked his dad with unconcealed joy in his eyes.
His dad actually resisted the temptation of a huge amount of money? Didn't travel to Canada to make more money in order to bring Bessia back as soon as possible?
Colin Hawke shrugged, lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head to look directly at his son, and said with a smile: "Hawke's family is going to have the first college student, do you know, there happened to be a guy who has studied in college on the ship this time, and it seems to be a good college to listen to him, I chatted with him about it, and he told me very seriously, if you don't want your child to be treated as garbage in college, it's best not to cause trouble for him, he said that my son is very smart, he can think of running to Canada's high seas to trade safely, the reason why he does this, It just won't break any laws. I think that's why I'm not going to go on to St. John's, Canada, and of course I'm going to adopt this plan that will make money without any trouble, and I can't risk a little more money and send myself and my idiot-like friends to prison in Canada, and let my hard-working and smart son be treated like garbage in college. ”
"Honestly, I didn't expect this to be the case...... I've thought about a lot of bad situations, even worse, situations that can't be worse......" Tommy Hawk listened to Colin Hawke's words, a little uncomfortable, and looked at the man in front of him fixedly, not even knowing how to phrase it at this moment.
He was mentally prepared for the worst and was already convinced that the worst would happen, but now, he didn't have to worry.
At this moment, his father's bearded face was scruffy, with an indifferent smile, touching his head with a rough palm, and his eyes were gentle.
"Remember what I didn't say when we came back from visiting Becia? Tony interrupted me, he was afraid that I would accidentally say it and make you suspicious, actually...... I would say that if your mom was still around, she would have been so smart that she would have warned me a long time ago, rather than having it taken me so long to realize. I said to myself, Colin, what you should do now is not to prepare a check for Tommy, not to bring back the money for Becia, but to go find Tommy first and say to him: I'm sorry, son, I thought of you after waiting outside for so long, and now, Daddy takes you home. ”
Under the starry sky, Colin Hawk put his hands on Tommy's shoulders, gently pressed his forehead against his son's forehead, and whispered:
"I can't lose my son because I need money to bring my daughter back. Money is important, but only family comes first. ”
