Chapter 58: Neighborhood Defense Alliance
After breakfast at the hotel, Martin came to the lobby and called Benjamin.
The last time Benjamin wanted to send him to the Sacred Valley, he said that he was a film and television graduate at the Savannah School of Art.
Martin said about the accent, and Benjamin asked Martin to help the contact without saying a word.
Within a few minutes, Martin was given a contact information, and Martin drove to Atlanta, found the relevant personnel, and obtained the audit qualification of the acting department and the relevant class schedule.
After a morning of professional classes, Martin went to a nearby professional bookstore in the afternoon and bought auxiliary equipment such as tape recorders and cassette tapes.
He called Kelly Gray, who was still in Washington on business.
Those words, Martin couldn't say on the phone, so he had to wait for her to come back.
Returning to the Clayton neighborhood and arriving at the school bus stop, Martin finds two skinny black boys trying to harass Lily.
Lily, who was less than fifteen years old, was extremely well developed and was about to be as tall as Elena.
Martin drove over, honked his horn, and Lily hurried over.
The two thin black boys didn't give up and wanted to keep up.
Martin pulled out his short-barreled shotgun from under the co-pilot, and the two black boys turned around and ran.
Lily got into the co-pilot and snatched the gun from Martin's hand: "I'm going to get their heads!" ”
Martin took the gun to the other side: "Let Harris pick you up later." ”
"Give me a gun." Lily pulled out a knife from her bag: "If you don't give it, I'll cut off your gun and use it." ”
Martin's hand came over Lily's head.
Lily consciously shut up.
Back at Carter's house, Elena was still practicing bartending, and Martin said something about it.
Elena said, "Harris, you will be responsible for picking up Lily to the school bus station in the future. ”
Recently, the community has collapsed, and after dinner, no one wants to go out, and they are all busy doing their own things.
Martin put on his headphones and listened to the recording to practice his accent.
In the future, when you have time, you have to practice, this is a long-term process.
As the night wore on, the black van approached Clayton
Scott Carter was in a strange position, lying on his seat, looking out the window from time to time, and the street lights outside were all broken and it was pitch black.
By the moonlight, he saw two black men running out of a small alley, robbing an unlucky man.
The car drove out not far away, and as soon as it stopped, the driver shouted: "It's here, get out of the car!" ”
Scott moved his leg to get out of the car, even if he took two painkillers in advance, it would still hurt, and he could only move forward in a figure-eight step.
When I came to the door of the store, it took a lot of effort to lift the roller shutter door.
He entered, and in the dark shadows, four black men dressed in black ran out and rushed into the store before Scott closed the door.
A black gun was pointed at Scott's face.
Scott was dumbfounded, the old black from Nancheng would use his talent too much.
The bald old black with the gun said: "I don't want to die, take out all the money." ”
Another old black pulled down the roller shutter door at this time: "What we have is time." ”
Scott raised his hand: "Don't shoot, I'll give money!" I give money! ”
Money is important.
The money he earned tonight hadn't been covered yet, so he sent it away.
"That's just a lot!" The old black man with the gun said: "You have been entertaining guests frequently in the bar recently, and you have made a lot of money, just a few hundred dollars, fooling the ghost?" ”
Scott said, "No, no! ”
"Search!" The bald old black gave an order, and the other three old black turned over the cabinet.
The night was long, and the blacks had already set their eyes on Scott, searching every part of the grocery store.
The muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head, and Scott did not dare to move at all.
The grocery store was not large, and the blacks quickly dug out several wine boxes, which were stuffed with bills of various denominations.
Scott shuddered, but couldn't do anything.
The blacks opened the roller shutters and disappeared into the night.
Scott didn't even dare to call the police, he had too much stolen goods in the store that he couldn't tell the source.
"My money! My money! Scott was weak on his legs and sat on the ground with his butt on his butt.
Then he jumped up again: "Oh my ass! ”
…………
In the morning, at Carter's house, five people gathered around the coffee table for breakfast.
Martin looked at Harris, who had the cast removed: "How's the SAT?" ”
Harris knew that Martin didn't understand the specific score, and said: "I did well in the exam, but the social practice was relatively poor, and the probability of success in applying to public universities was greater." ”
Martin asked, "What about tuition?" ”
Harris already had a thought on it: "Student loans. ”
Lily suddenly interjected: "You can't send it to your brother, and you can't pay it back." ”
Elena took out the ticket stub from her coat pocket, compared it with the results in the newspaper, cursed the haircut, and threw it in the trash.
Martin asked, "Didn't hit?" ”
Lily preemptively said, "It's lower than you send her to get pregnant!" ”
Elena was already in a bad mood, but now she was really angry, so she casually took out something from the bottom of the coffee table and blocked Lily's mouth.
It was a pink kettle, and the straw was removed.
Lily broke free and shouted angrily: "Elena, you have the ability to use it really!" ”
Martin couldn't take it anymore and flicked her brain: "Shut your stinky mouth." ”
Mr. Wood came in from outside, saw the kettle next to Lily's mouth, and reminded, "She's underage." ”
Elena hurriedly threw the kettle under the coffee table: "Wood, do you have something?" ”
Mr. Wood sat on a chair: "In the past few days, there have been frequent robberies around the community, and we have not received a response to the police, so I contacted many people to make a complaint call, and the Xicheng Police Department finally sent someone to talk to us." Martin, I heard that you have joined a very influential social organization, and I would like to invite you to come along. ”
Elena looked at Martin, who said, "Mr. Wood, I'll go with you." ”
Lily couldn't help it again: "It's all those black X's, they should use a mop to get their butts and send them to the zoo!" ”
This time, Elena left Lily alone.
Martin changed into a slightly more formal outfit and brought his ATL Women's Club work card and followed Wood to the outskirts of the community.
The likes of Ashley, Welbeck, Nani and Valencia, who had a little prestige in the community, arrived.
After waiting for a while at Nani's small community supermarket, a representative from the police station arrived.
A black police officer.
The grumpy Nani tried to be as civilized as possible: "Officer, since those black gangsters came to the community, Clayton's law and order is completely ruined!" ”
The black police officer said, "It's not about black people. ”
Nani couldn't help it: "Before the blacks came, Clayton wasn't safe, but it wasn't that bad!" ”
Black cops stood up: "You guys are discriminating against black people? ”
"No, absolutely not." The big hat was pressed down, and the White House couldn't catch it, so Martin hurriedly grabbed Nani and showed his work card: "We are equal rights people." ”
The black policeman glanced at the women's union documents, did not dwell on this issue, and said coldly: "We will strengthen the supervision of this area, but the police force is limited, it is impossible to maintain a high frequency of patrols, I will give you a suggestion, form a neighborhood defense alliance, you report the personnel, and the police station will register you." ”
If you say this, you don't say it.
The black cop looked at the table below: "I have other jobs, and here it is." ”
The other party has a skin color bonus, and the black problem cannot be discussed at all, and everyone can only watch him walk away.
Nani asked, "What to do?" ”
"I'm old, but I'm willing to do my part for the community." "I have a spear," Wood said. ”
Welbeck said: "We form patrols! ”
Fletcher asked, "What about the fees?" ”
Everyone was silent, and the poor had just earned enough money to support their families.
Martin is practical: "Put up notices on the community bulletin boards, reduce going out at night, don't go to remote places even during the day, count families who own guns, exchange contact information with each other, and provide support in case of an attack." ”
Wood said: "Statisticians, let's report that those black X's are really going to attack the community, and we can take the initiative to defend and fight back." ”
Joining the Defense League, it will be a lot less trouble to shoot, Martin thought for a moment and said, "Elena and I have guns. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Nani and Wood went to the police station with the list and did the registration.
The Clayton Community's Neighborhood Defense League was officially formed.
The fence of the yard was slightly equal to nothing, and Martin and Elena collected a lot of cans and tied them to the fence in front and back of the yard with gravel.
