Chapter 4: The Great Collision

At half past three in the afternoon, Max went downstairs on time, drove a Cadillac, and walked home along the familiar road.

On the side of the road, on an old Toyota that I don't know how many hands it has passed, Elena found that Cadillac turned into the intersection, took out her mobile phone and dialed a call, and said: "The idiot is on the road!" ”

Getting a response, she drove far behind.

There weren't many cars on the road, so Max drove fast and answered a phone call halfway: "Sweetheart, you go pick up the kids, and I'll make them chocolate chip cookies at night." ”

Entering a narrow two-lane road in both directions, the Cadillac pressed on a small stone and shook it, and Max subconsciously slowed down the car and turned slightly to bypass the remaining gravel.

I don't know which slut who gave birth to a son without an asshole threw some broken stones on the road.

Max slowed down again, suddenly attracted by something on the small intersection in front of him.

It was a large teddy bear doll carrying a bunting in one hand that read "All kinds of teddy bears are on sale this weekend".

A pair of babies in the family like teddy bears the most, and even Max likes them very much, so I can't help but look at them a few more times.

…………

On the other side of the trailhead, green bushes are thriving, and Harris is leaning low on his bike, propped up on one leg, staring at the teddy bear across the road, waiting for a signal.

Because he had practiced a few times before, his fractured left arm hurt so badly that he looked hideous.

Harris endured the pain and secretly calculated: "The probability of success is as high as 60 percent, I will definitely do it!" ”

At this moment, the teddy bear puppet on the opposite side threw away the bunting.

Harris slammed down the pedals of the bike, rushed out, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence: "For money!" ”

The poor burst out with unparalleled power in the face of the temptation of money.

…………

The unchily bear on the intersection, throwing away the colored flag's left hand, suddenly clenched into a fist, placed it in front of its furry belly, and then twisted its waist and hips, and then twisted its waist and hips, so fast that it was exaggerated, as if it was going to knock down the plane in the sky.

It's the first time Max has seen such a cheap teddy bear doll, and he almost laughs.

A considerable part of his attention was drawn to the pariah in front of him.

Harris rushed out from behind the green belt in front right.

Max caught a glimpse of the figure and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

The crash sounded, the car shook, and someone fell on the road.

Max's head was momentarily dazed, then he came back to his senses, cursed damn it, loosened his seat belt, and quickly got out of the car to check the situation.

The speed of the car was not fast, and he felt that there was no problem.

An old bike was slumped in front of the Cadillac, the rear wheel was still turning, and the Cadillac's right headlight lampshade was cracked.

A young white man lay down on the road, screaming.

Harris didn't need to act, but it really hurt, it hurt in his heart, and he tore his throat and screamed in pain.

Max hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

It hurt so much that Harris, who was in pain, didn't want to answer, and after Max asked again, he said with a pale face: "Left hand, my left hand is broken!" ”

Max was frightened, and just thought about whether to flash people, he noticed that the untouchable bear at the intersection was coming.

There are eyewitnesses.

Martin picked up the small camera that had been filmed on a bench on the side of the road and ran over there, just as Elena was driving by, he put the camera in the passenger seat and waved his hand.

Elena glanced at Harris on the ground, and immediately drove away, going to the place that had been contacted in advance to grab a copy.

Martin took off the teddy bear's head, pulled out his phone, and asked loudly, "Mr. Max, do you need to call the police?" ”

Max discovers that it's Martin, and he looks like he's seen it.

Harris sat up with one hand on his feet and said, "Call 911, call an ambulance!" ”

Martin, of course, doesn't call 911, holding a teddy bear head in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, as if he is a good employee who obeys the orders of his boss, and asks in a low voice, "Mr. Max?" ”

Max must not let people call the police, it will have calmed him down.

A normal car accident is nothing, even if it breaks someone's arm, it's not a big deal.

But drug driving causing serious injury is a felony and can lead to jail time.

"It's a trivial matter, and there is no need to occupy public resources." Max looked at Harris with a gentle attitude, as if he was going to take responsibility to the end: "I am mainly responsible for this car accident, I am very sorry." I will be responsible for the cost of your treatment, and I will also compensate you for lost work and the like according to the regulations. ”

He glanced at the bicycle with the handlebars twisted upside down: "There are other losses, I will compensate." ”

Harris grinned in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "I am applying to college and preparing for the SAT exam, and now that my arm is broken, my probability of being admitted to the target university has dropped by 80%!" ”

The gentleness on Max's face slowly disappeared, and he looked at the young man's outfit and dilapidated bicycle, and stood up: "Okay, let's go through the normal procedure, you find a lawyer to sue my insurance company, and the insurance company will be responsible for your compensation." ”

As long as this poor ghost has a normal head, he knows what to do to be beneficial.

Martin held up his phone, pressed the number button 9, and said, "Mr. Max, I'll call 911 for you." ”

"Stop! It's none of your business! Max couldn't wait to kick the idiot away, he squatted in front of Harris: "Son, I am very sincere in reconciling with you, I am very sorry for what happened today, but sincerity is mutual, I will let you see my sincerity, and you will let me see your sincerity, right?" ”

After discussing Max's psychological bottom line in advance, Harris raised three fingers: "I'm seriously injured, and I will delay the exam, $3,000!" $3,000 to compensate me for my loss. ”

The mildness on Max's face dissipated: "$1,000, I'll give you a maximum of $1,000." ”

Harris looked at Martin: "Help me call 911, thank you." ”

There were two cars passing by, and Max didn't want to meet the enthusiastic citizens, so he managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'm a responsible person, 2,000 dollars, it can't be more." ”

Harris said, "Okay, $2,000, you're going to pay it right away." ”

Max breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the car, took the checkbook from his bag, and filled out two $1,000 checks.

Harris had been in contact with a lot of checks in Scott's shop, and after making sure there was no problem, he put them away.

Max pulled open the driver's door and prepared to go home to make chocolate chip cookies for a pair of babies, and said to Martin, who was in the way, "Can you open it?" ”

Martin's hand suddenly reached over and closed the car door.

Max realized it later, and reached out to pat Martin's teddy bear puppet costume: "I have something to do today, I'll contact you later." ”

Martin smiled and said: "Mr. Max, in fact, I am a zealous citizen who likes to help people, and when I encounter this kind of thing, if I don't call 911 to ask for help for the injured, I will have a troubled conscience and feel guilty so much that I can't sleep for a few days." ”

Max was alert: "Boy, what do you want to do?" I warn you, don't mess around! ”

Martin didn't want to delay for too long, and said directly: "The new boss is worried that I don't work hard, so he specially got a small camera to stare at me, and the camera is facing this intersection." ”

Max's face was gloomy, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's eye, sweeping over every part of Martin's body.

Martin was worried that he had a gun: "The boss just passed by here and took the camera with him, and if needed, I can call someone back." ”
