Chapter 517, 'Door-to-door Service'
In Harrison's story, he and his wife are poor honest men who have done nothing but are frequented by bad luck.
Eventually, the priest's swagger annoyed the honest and honest Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, who completely changed from devout believers to devout anti-religious people, and donated money to the anti-religious organization to fund its activities.
But Brooklyn swears by his older brother that Harrison is definitely not as honest as he says he is. Whether it's Harrison's experience β Seal was trained and consistently served β or his performance from entering the door to sitting down, or talking about the reaction to repairing the car, and mentioning Eric when talking about the bodyguard, it's enough to prove that Harrison is a very competitive person.
Brooklyn had mentally completed a character portrait of Harrison, which was not necessarily accurate, but Brooklyn believed in his own abilities and decided to make a decision based on this character profile.
Harrison is a competitive person, he does not admit defeat, does not bow his head easily, and even if he loses, he will definitely get it back next time.
He is cautious and conscientious, and may suffer from mild PTSD, but it is not evident because of his extreme self-control.
He is level-headed, good at judging the situation, decisive, and will not be indecisive and drag the mud and water. Brooklyn is starting to look bullish on Harrison.
He said a few words of comfort, comforting Harrison, and said that an electronic version of the contract would be sent to Harrison's mailbox later, and when Harrison had a decision, he could contact Bob.
Just as Brooklyn was about to end the conversation, Harrison shook his head
"No need."
"I can sign it now." Facing the gazes of the other three, Harrison said in a deep voice.
"You'd better think about it." Brooklyn said with a frown
"Although I can guarantee that this contract is not boring, there are many terms and conditions that are different from ordinary employment contracts, and you need to understand them. Moreover, to sign such a thick contract, it is better to have a lawyer present. Harrison shook his head
"That's going to come later. I'm sure you won't lie to me. I have nothing to fool me. β
"I've heard about you looking for bodyguards, and since it's true, I'm very happy with you, and I'm sure you shouldn't be disgusted with me. Why wait a few days to talk about it? Brooklyn stared at Harrison for a moment and laughed.
"Bob, give it to him." Brooklyn turned to Bob and said. Bob pulled out his thick contract and pen, and sat back down.
Instead of immediately handing the pen to Harrison, he flipped through the contract clause by clause and explained it to Harrison. Brooklyn called the waiter, cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and asked for a pot of chrysanthemum tea.
Taking a sip, Brooklyn subconsciously frowned. I don't know if it's because I drank too much coffee or if the chrysanthemum tea here is really not authentic, Brooklyn always feels that this tea tastes wrong, too bitter.
Harrison quickly glanced up at Brooklyn and continued to listen to Bob's explanation. He believed that Brooklyn wouldn't be boring enough to deceive him, and besides, as he said, was there anything he could look up to in Brooklyn?
No! So, he believed that what Brooklyn said was true, and that the contract was true. Instead of wasting time and spending money on a lawyer to see something you don't understand, it's better to show your loyalty.
But if someone was willing to explain it to him for free, Harrison would be happy to hear it. Loyalty, he has already demonstrated.
A contract of more than fifty pages takes a long time to explain. Brooklyn had switched from chrysanthemum tea to green tea and then to black tea β he was sure that the tea at this restaurant was the kind that was a five-dollar bag, so it didn't feel right to drink it β and the contract was finally explained.
Harrison took the pen, flipped to the last page, paused in the signature bar, and looked up
"Mr. Brooklyn, I funded seven events for an anti-religious organization, and they knew about it, and they were going to try me for blasphemy." Seeing Brooklyn's usual expression, Harrison lowered his head and said quickly as he signed
"The most important thing is that I have evidence of the priest's recording, and they want to get it back. D product is just a warning. β
"Alright, it's done." Harrison handed Bob back the pen and stood up politely
"Mr. Brooklyn, I need a copy of your itinerary to confirm your safety, and I need to do a detailed inspection of your vehicle, office, home, and give me a spare key if I can." Brooklyn took the key and threw it to Harrison, reminding
"Maybe you need to talk to your family in advance."
"Matilda took our children on vacation to Madagascar." Harrison shook his head. Brooklyn shrugged.
When it comes to being a bodyguard, Harrison is undoubtedly more professional than Ray, which may have something to do with the fact that the two were trained in different programs and missions when they were at SEALβRay still doesn't know what the mission is in Brooklyn, only that it's not a good job.
As soon as Harrison took the key, he stepped into character. After confirming that Brooklyn was leaving, he immediately got up and went out.
By the time the Brooklyn trio came out, Harrison had already checked the Brooklyn car and was waiting for him by the car.
Webster lived upstairs, and Brooklyn came to Harrison with Bob after sending Webster away, and frowned as he looked at the 'coin' he was holding in his hand.
None of them knew anything they had only seen in spy movies, but it must not be a good thing to think of as Harrison's hand.
Harrison explained that it was a locator, not a high-tech product, but a rough hand-modified product by hand.
According to Harrison, the locator is nowhere near as stable and clear as professional equipment, but it is more than enough to understand the daily route of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn didn't say anything with a gloomy face, and just threw the locator in the trash. On the way back, Harrison was driving, Brooklyn asked
"How did you get here?" Harrison came to the intersection, slowed down, stopped, waited for the green light, and turned back
"Taxi." Brooklyn didn't ask the question, 'Don't you have a car, why don't you drive?'
The green light came on, and Harrison released his brakes and drove smoothly through the intersection. All the way home, only Brooklyn and Harrison were left, and Bob got out of the car and left.
The house was pitch black, and Ray wasn't at home. Brooklyn helped Harrison clean up a bedroom for Harrison to live in temporarily.
After cleaning up, Brooklyn stood in the doorway
"Bob will send you the itinerary every day." Harrison nodded, indicating that he knew. Brooklyn watched for a moment and left the room.
The next day, after Bob sent the schedule to Harrison, he initiated a call. On the phone, Bob highlighted Brooklyn's image issues, warning Harrison that his troubles Brooklyn could help solve, but that Harrison had to stay away from the mess.
Harrison didn't react much. Bob was not satisfied and hung up. He still doesn't understand why Brooklyn is looking for a time bomb to put around.
Bob doesn't think Brooklyn's so-called 'unwavering faith' or anything like that is convincing, and whether firm or not, everyone openly says that they are the most devout believers in God.
Brooklyn has hired an anti-religious person to be a bodyguard, and once this kind of thing is publicized by people with good intentions, it is definitely a catastrophic public relations crisis.
Brooklyn used to be able to care less about image, but now it can't. He represents more than just himself.
However, Brooklyn has already made a decision, and Bob can't say much, so he can only help fill in the gaps and keep an eye on Harrison.
Bob would talk to Harrison, and Brooklyn could probably guess that, after all, Bob had said that Harrison was not suitable from the beginning, and although he didn't object yesterday, it was because he had already made a decision.
Frequent temporary changes to the itinerary have formed a tacit understanding between Brooklyn and Bob, Bob will not question or even oppose Brooklyn, but will only silently help him 'wipe his ass'.
After breakfast, before Brooklyn could go out, someone came to visit. The visitor was driving a white van, wearing a dark blue suit, no tie, and the top neckline was slightly open.
The big belly holds the suit a little tight. Someone who comes introduces himself as a priest β or perhaps a priest.
Brooklyn is not religious, so he doesn't know much about it. The distinction between a priest and a priest may be more than just a distinction of titles, the two are the names of clergy in two different religions β Brooklyn heard Bob mention it.
He thought it would be more appropriate to call the pot-bellied guy in front of him a clergyman. Father - The clergy introduced themselves as Gruber.
"Mr. Grubber, is there something wrong?" Brooklyn asked, glancing back at Harrison.
Harrison stared straight at Gruber. Gruber was fat, had a fleshy face, and looked vicious, but when he laughed, he had a kind feeling.
Grubber glanced at Harrison, then looked at Brooklyn and said with a smile
"Judge Brooklyn, I want to speak to you on behalf of the diocese." Brooklyn stepped aside and invited Gruber in.
After the two sides were seated, Brooklyn asked
"Don't know what you want to talk about?"
"I regret hearing that Judge Brooklyn did not join the Church because of his childhood experience." Brooklyn shook his head and smiled as he thought of the experience at the Angel's House, and the old woman who had almost killed him, or perhaps had done so
"The reason I didn't join the church wasn't because of my childhood, it wasn't really a big deal, I am grateful to the Angel House, it was its existence that allowed me to survive. Otherwise, a 2-year-old baby will not survive at all. β
"If you're here to preach to me, I'm sorry, but I don't plan to join the church yet." Gruber glanced at Harrison again and pointed at him
"Judge Brooklyn, you are a good judge recognized by the people of New York, and the people of New Yorkers respect you as 'Themis,' which respects your justice, but you have hired an anti-religious man, which I think seems inappropriate."
"The bishop is concerned about this, and the people of the diocese are also worried, worried that he will affect your justice. Make you unconsciously biased. "Brooklyn doesn't quite understand what the status of a bishop is, and how big a diocese is, is Brooklyn a parish, or is New York City a parish, or is the whole of New York State a parish?
"I hired Harrison because of his abilities, not his beliefs." Brooklyn laughed
"Freedom of personal belief is written in the Federal Constitution, and I don't think God would force people to believe in her if it really existed, do you say, Pastor Gruber? Or should I call you Father Gruber? "If you have to subdivide it, the priest, or more precisely the priest, is actually the name of the clergy of the Tianzhu Church, and the combination of the Tianzhu Sect, the Eastern Confession Church, and the Protestant Church is what people often call the Jealousy Sect.
Although these three families belong to the same religion of jealousy, they all believe in envy as the savior, believe in God as the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the resurrection of man after death and the Last Judgment, and the return of jealousy and the salvation of the world, but the three families are not in harmony with each other.
The full name of the Heavenly Cook Church is the Roman Catholic Church, and as you can hear from the name, the boss of the Heavenly Cook Church is the Pope of Rome.
Protestantism and Protestantism did not recognize the Pope, and even Protestantism openly opposed the Pope.
Protestantism is actually just a general term, and it is divided into various sects such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anglicanism.
In short, don't look at it as lofty, it seems to be related to God, full of sacredness, but in fact, it is no different from the partisan struggle of the federal government, and even more fiercely.
As a religiously unaffiliated, Brooklyn is troubled by jealousy of the chaotic relationships within the Church, and this is so normal that many Christians can't tell themselves what denomination they believe.
Although Brooklyn can't tell the difference, he has his own understanding of the contradictions within the Jealousy Church, which he sees as the federal government, and the various sects as different parties, the Tianzhu Church and the Eastern Church are like the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, and the Protestant Church is like the other minority parties.
Brooklyn is clear about how serious the donkey-elephant dispute is, and calling an elephant party member a donkey party member is enough to embarrass and make the elephant party member uncomfortable.
Gruber's reaction was not much different from Brooklyn's assumption, his fleshy face turned red at once, and his kind and amiable face was destroyed in an instant, and became hideous.
His eyes widened, staring at Brooklyn. This convinced Brooklyn that if his eyes could breathe fire, he would have been burned to ashes by Grubber.
"Father Grubber? Or a priest. "Brooklyn continues to stir up
"I'm sorry, but you know that I'm a non-religious person, and I don't know much about what your religion calls within it, so please forgive me if I have offended. Maybe you can help me improve my knowledge of this, so that I can have a more accurate name for you, can't you? β
