Chapter 587, Thanksgiving
Brooklyn they can't dictate when Republicans will come, what they will observe, what they can know, the only thing they can do is seize all the time to strengthen themselves.
Winston lost his temper, then reluctantly agreed to stand on the platform for Mr. President. Brooklyn's impression of the Democratic Party was even worse, and if it had not been for the arrival of these winged angels, the social contradictions in the Union would not have intensified to the extent they are now.
The angels and the Virgin Mary belong to heaven and not to earth, can they be begged to go back to heaven? The last week of November.
Brooklyn was surprised to find that Brooklyn did seem to have become much more prosperous. Without mentioning anything else, E. Outside the Y, the small vendors pushing food trucks have changed from one to a row.
In addition to the Mexican Taco, which is the favorite of the security guards, there is also a fried chicken food truck, a meat steak food truck, a dumpling food truck and a food truck that Brooklyn has never seen before, which is said to be a Mexican specialty.
Five food trucks lined up neatly, and business was very good. E.. Y has become accustomed to the Mexican restaurant next to it and the Mexican Taco food truck at the door, not only will the court staff go to patronize it, but many people who are familiar with E. Y's lawyer would also go to buy two tacos when he was busy, and go into the break room with the information to 'work overtime'.
It's almost the norm. On more than one occasion, Brooklyn has even seen the head of security chatting with the guy in the Mexican Taco food truck.
When the second fried chicken truck first arrived, business was booming. It's not how delicious the fried chicken food truck is, it's really that everyone is tired of eating Mexican food.
Mexican Restaurant, Mexican Food Truck...... E.. The Y is almost surrounded by Mexico. Finally, I finally saw a fried chicken, and everyone wanted to change the taste, and of course the business was booming.
In addition, due to the production process, once the fried chicken is opened, it can be called fragrant, and it can attract more customers than the taco next door.
As a result, the next day, the brother of the Mexican Taco food truck took the initiative to find the court, saying that the fried chicken food truck setting up a stall there would affect the normal work of the court, and wanted the security supervisor to drive away the fried chicken food truck.
Brooklyn happened to be returning from buying chicken cutlets and glared fiercely at the security director who was about to move.
The day after the fried chicken truck settled, the dumpling truck was mixed with a yellow dish that resembled curry and potatoes and pumpkin, mixed with diced beef and onions, and was said to be Mexican-style.
And then E.. The door of Y was lively. In order to avoid the food truck affecting E.. Brooklyn deliberately asked the security supervisor to go to the side of the door and draw a parking space for them to use.
Nowadays, the court staff has finally enriched the style of lunch and breakfast. Except for .E.. In addition to this obvious change at the entrance of Y, Brooklyn vaguely felt that the business district of Brooklyn did seem to be much more prosperous, and there were more people on the streets, and the dirty homeless people and zombie-like addicts were gone, and they didn't know where they were transported by Winston.
Although the subway station still smells of feces and urine, there are fewer rats, and there are still homeless people nesting in their seats or corners, but they are not so common.
Ordinary liquids with a pungent odor can still occasionally be seen on the seats of subways, buses, and other public transportation vehicles.
— The last two were told to Brooklyn by Harrison. There's simply no time in Brooklyn to 'experience life' on public transportation.
Brooklyn is slowly changing, and despite the cold weather, there seems to be more smiles on people's faces, and the once deserted streets are showing signs of change.
This shows that the policy they set at the beginning was correct. A safe environment is the foundation of everything. Gangs have been completely smashed, school-age teenagers have been locked up in schools, homeless people and addicts have been taken away, and before the policies that the city hall is studying to stimulate business prosperity and boost the economy are fully implemented, the citizens have already prospered spontaneously.
The entry point they chose was difficult, and the start was not smooth, but fortunately, there have been some results, and the next will only get easier.
………… Wednesday, November 27th. The preparations for the wedding were basically completed, Joseph Jr. returned to Boston and went home for Thanksgiving, Jerry took a leave of absence in advance, and left New York with his father sneakily overnight.
It was only when Brooklyn called to inquire about the progress of City Hall that Winston had flown to Denmark with Jerry.
It is said that in addition to Jerry, Winston also brought his illegitimate daughter Taylor. Brooklyn didn't know what he wanted to do, but given that Winston's upcoming Thanksgiving might not go well, Brooklyn only used his usual five points to make fun of him.
Since David was still alone, Brooklyn extended an invitation to him to come to his home for Thanksgiving.
For Brooklyn, Ray and David are relatives, and it's normal to spend Thanksgiving with them.
If it weren't for the fact that Ray had lost contact inexplicably and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Brooklyn would have to call them all home.
In addition to David, Brooklyn thought for a long time and sent an invitation to Mark Meere. He and Mark Milai are already fully bound, and the relationship should be eased.
As a result, Brooklyn kindly invited, but Mark Milley mercilessly declined. Mark Millay was enjoying the unique enthusiasm of Las Vegas, and he didn't have time to 'break the ice' with Brooklyn at all, so he simply asked "Is there anything else?" and hung up the phone.
Brooklyn cooed for a long time, said hello to Anne, and drove out. He made an appointment with David to buy ingredients together, and by the way, he picked David over and spent Thanksgiving together.
Picking up David, the two went to the mall to make some purchases, and then stopped in front of the turkey. David pointed to the decorations in the mall, then to the turkey.
Brooklyn rummaged through the shopping cart and pulled out a whole chicken and showed it to David. Strode at Brooklyn, refusing to move.
Brooklyn was carrying the chicken, and he refused to move. Eventually, Brooklyn had to speak.
"I'm not going to do it."
"Neither will Anne. She will only go to the restaurant to take away, or dine-in. ”
"Will you?" David immediately deflated like a leaky ball, and he had to lower his arms and walk forward disappointedly, grunting as he went
"I haven't eaten it yet."
"I haven't eaten either." Brooklyn caught up and picked up
"But it's said that this one is not delicious at all. You see it grows so big, if it's delicious, why don't KFc and m use turkey meat? ”
"If it weren't for Thanksgiving, I guess this thing would have been extinct a long time ago." David glanced at Brooklyn, shook his head and didn't speak.
The two walked side by side, stopping from time to time to stuff something into their shopping carts. Nothing happened, but suddenly something was wrong.
Until the checkout was completed and all the ingredients were loaded into the car, the two still did not speak. The car is driving on the road, most of the shops on both sides are open, and the flow of people is like weaving, which is very prosperous and has a festive atmosphere.
There was silence in the car.
"Can you reach Ray?" David opened his mouth and broke Ningjin. Brooklyn drove intently and did not speak.
Just shook his head. Three days after this and tomorrow, he gave Harrison a holiday to go back and prepare for Thanksgiving with his family.
Anne invited the Harrison family over, but Harrison politely declined.
"The house you and Ray used to live in was sold?" David asked. Brooklyn nodded, glancing at David
"Ray often didn't go back before I moved out, and soon after Anne and I moved here, Ray sold the house." David smacked his lips and sighed.
Brooklyn looked at him again, concentrating on driving. He felt the same way as David, and he wanted to thunder. In the past two dozen or so Thanksgivings, except for the days when Ray was unable to come back for reunion on a mission, the three of them have spent it together.
As a result, this year, Ray did not serve in the army, did not have to carry out missions in inexplicable danger zones that they did not know about, and they still could not celebrate the holidays together.
Both of them lost interest and stopped talking. One concentrates on driving, and the other looks at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
When she got home, Anne had already prepared the guest room for David, and when she saw the car parked, she even came out with her stomach up, ready to help carry something.
As the number of pregnancies increased, Anne seemed to get used to the influences of pregnancy, and her personality tended to be stable and no longer changeable.
After dinner, Anne was holding the computer and was having a video conference, and there was something wrong with their law firm.
Brooklyn went out for a run with David. Two days ago, Brooklyn swore that when she came back, she would turn the basement into a gym, but after trying on the dress, she completely forgot about it.
Even tonight, if David hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have moved. When I first lived with Ray, I was trained by Ray for a few days, and Brooklyn still remembers it vividly...... Changing into sportswear, digging out the brand new sneakers that he had never worn back, before going out of the door, Brooklyn turned around and took out a scarf from the cloakroom, put on a down jacket, and finally took out a mask from his pocket and put it on, Brooklyn was finally satisfied, and nodded at the stunned David.
"What are you running when you wear so much?" Out the door, David muttered dissatisfiedly.
"It's winter, not summer." Brooklyn's voice was a little muffled because he was wearing a mask
"I didn't want to run, but you had to pull me out." David shook his head and ran towards the door. Brooklyn followed.
On the way, when he met the patrol officer of the community, Brooklyn slowed down and said hello, so frightened that the patrol officer hurriedly bowed and pulled his hand into the gun bag.
Brooklyn had to stop and take off his mask, and let out a sigh of relief. The patrolman let go of the gun and hurriedly greeted him.
Brooklyn waved his hand and continued to chase David. Behind them, two patrol officers looked back at Brooklyn's back, muttering
"Wear so much for a night run? Judge Brooklyn is crazy, right? ”
"I don't know, I just know he's going to catch a cold soon."
"Come out for a night run in winter, tsk~" The two patrol officers retracted their gazes, exchanged views with each other, and continued to patrol with their heads and heads.
Brooklyn is a wealthy neighborhood, but it's not a top wealthy neighborhood. The community is very green, the houses are far apart, the roads are wide, and there are street lights.
When he bought the current house, the houses in the community were almost all 'famous', but as Thanksgiving approached, not all the houses were lit up.
There were a few brightly lit houses, and three or five children of seven or eight years old gathered in the yard and didn't know what they were doing, and when they saw Brooklyn running past the yard, the children stood up one after another, and shouted at Brooklyn Yi Yi with a large number of words that he did not understand.
After running a little further, all that was left was the light of the street lamps, and the rest of the place was pitch black. The layout is actually the same as before, but the owner of the property obviously has no intention of returning here for Thanksgiving.
Brooklyn stood around the corner and watched for a moment, shook his head, and turned to walk back. David was right.
He was wearing too much, and after barely running a kilometer, he began to sweat, and the clothes inside were completely soaked and stuck to his body.
He wanted to open his down jacket, but he was afraid of catching a cold, so he could only end his night run. As he walked back a little further, he met David, who was already waiting for him at the door when he was about to reach the door.
"I'll never run at night again!" Brooklyn grumbled
"I almost had a problem with my last night run."
"I remember you had Dexter Morgan on your wedding guest list, and you invited him?" David paused and asked.
Brooklyn pushed open the courtyard door and nodded nonchalantly
"Hmm."
"He ......," David frowned, clearly disapproving. Brooklyn Road
"He saved my life, David. If I hadn't happened to meet him that night, I would have had to wait there to die. ”
"But he's a serial murderer."
"He's gone."
"Then he's killed people, too. Just because the murderer has stopped doing it, the previous crimes cannot be written off. Brooklyn paused and said
"The people he killed were all fish who escaped the law, and those people died innocently."
"I know that this is not right, both legally and from any point of view, it is not right, that an individual does not have the right to deprive others of their lives, that he is only a forensic doctor, and that he has no right to judge others."
"But, David, you can't produce evidence, and the law can't punish him."
"Just like those who were killed by him, they are the ones who escaped the law and took advantage of the loopholes of the law. But they still paid for what they did. Because of Dexter. ”
"Dexter is to be held to pay for what he has done, unless someone else is like him, who gives himself the power to administer justice and judge others. Otherwise, he had left no clue before, and now he had washed his hands in a basin made of gold, and he was gone. Well, washing hands in a basin made of gold is a traditional custom in the East, which means to give up the industry or something that has been engaged in the past for a long time. ”
"He's no longer guilty of eucalyptus, you can't catch him at all."
"So, even if we know he's a Bay Area killer, there's still no way to take him."
