The van door opened, and White was the first to return, saying, "I heard about a situation that wasn't reported in the media, and Martin Davis had a shootout with someone in the community. ”

"Shootout?" Alex came interested.

White didn't stop: "Several black traffickers broke into Carter's house at night and were shot away by Martin, and the leader of them was also spanked by Martin, and is currently serving a sentence in state jail, and it will be more than ten years before he can get out." ”

Alex's interest faded, and it wasn't the news he wanted.

White added: "And then Martin's father, the mother who kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, that guy is a complete scumbag, maybe we can use it." ”

Alex asked, "Do you know where he is?" ”

White was helpless: "It is said that he went to Australia or New Zealand. ”

Someone knocked on the window glass from outside, and Albert returned.

He described what he had learned from several people about the same as White's.

Alex frowned more and more when he listened, and couldn't help but say, "Martin Davis is simply a typical type crawling out of the mud, a realistic version of the American dream." ”

What the neighbors said was not much different from what was publicly reported in the newspapers.

The only thing that wasn't carefully reported was the gunmonger and the bastard father.

But when these are published, Martin Davis's resume will be more legendary and more glorious.

White said, "Can you start with Martin's father?" ”

Alex asked rhetorically, "Are you going to Australia or New Zealand to find someone?" ”

White stopped talking.

Albert then said, "Head, if it really doesn't work, we'll post these news?" ”

"Send these useless things?" Alex shook his head and raised his voice, "Do you have any career pursuits?" We are journalists, and we have an obligation to expose the facts that are hidden behind the scenes, and this is the power given to us by the public! ”

After the high spiritual level was finished, he said something realistic: "You know very well that once news like this breaks out, how much reward the society will give us!" ”

The previous ones, White and Albert didn't hear directly.

The latter made them feel excited, the newspaper is not generally generous in terms of news rewards, and does not care or secretly encourages subordinates to obtain news by any means.

Alex added: "Martin Davis' ex-girlfriend's family is the key, find them. He glanced at the date in the newspaper: "In two days, if there is no new discovery, return to Washington with our unique skills." ”

White is good at that, saying, "This time the recipients all stayed at the DC Hilton, which we've done several times and has a lot of news sources. ”

Since 911, they have been invincible, and Alex whispered, "There is no news that the News of the World can't get." ”

…………

Washington, D.C., National Airport.

Martin and Bruce walked out of the plane, met the people who had come to pick them up, and got into their car.

The car crossed the Potomac River and quickly turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue.

Through the car window, Martin saw the obelisk-shaped Washington Monument and the dome-like Capitol Hill.

The White House Secret Service officer who came to receive him said: "Mr. Davis, your itinerary is arranged like this, when you get to the hotel, there will be a media interview, and then you will be free, and I will pick you up at 9 a.m. on Independence Day to participate in the Independence Day celebrations, and the award is part of the celebrations." ”

"Thank you." Martin nodded slightly: "Can you know your name and contact information?" ”

The Secret Service officer handed over a card: "Jonathan. ”

Martin was quite polite and gave his business card: "When you come to Los Angeles one day, you can call me." ”

Jonathan took it: "Thank you." ”

Arriving at the Hilton, the car passed down an aisle, and Bruce pointed to a place: "That's where Reagan was assassinated." ”

Martin whispered, "It's horrible for the fans to go crazy. ”

What is the name of the Beetle? He doesn't remember clearly, it seems that he was killed by his own fans?

Entering the hotel, Kate, a female reporter for the Washington News newspaper arranged by the government, was already waiting in the lobby lounge.

The interview was nothing special, Kate asked all formulaic questions, and Martin was in charge of the commercial touting, blowing up the LAPD and Los Angeles, and then blowing the authorities and so on.

Jonathan stayed by until the end of the interview.

Kate was about to say goodbye, and before leaving, she said, "Can you exchange contact information?" ”

"No problem." Martin is also willing to connect more with the media and have multiple channels for his voice.

The two exchanged contact information, and Kate also made a special call to Martin.

The hotel had already prepared the suite, and Martin and Bruce went upstairs together.

Bruce looked around the room and said, "The conditions are not bad. ”

Martin asked, "Did Duke and Murphy arrive?" ”

Bruce glanced at his phone: "They've arrived, wait to confirm our room before checking in." ”

He observed it before he entered the door, and sent out the room number and a few rooms suitable for the two people: "This is Washington, and under normal circumstances, Russians don't make trouble." ”

Martin casually joked: "I'm afraid they drink." ”

Soon, Duke and Murphy went upstairs and checked into a room not far from them.

These two are good at observing and spotting stalkers.

Martin was happy with them, and it was in Atlanta that they spotted Pratt following behind.

When Duke went to open the door with his key card, Murphy, who was lagging behind, raised his phone and took a picture of the heads of several hotel employees in charge of this floor on the bulletin board.

In a hotel like this, each floor is staffed by permanent staff.

In the room, Martin had just finished packing his bags and went to the balcony of the master bedroom.

From here, you can see the White House.

Bruce came over and said, "They're OK over there." ”

…………

Atlanta, Northville.

Lily, who had just transferred to another school, walked out of the private middle school gate alone and walked along the sidewalk, the clown pendant on her backpack swinging around as she walked on her long legs.

It was a little hot, so she went into a cold drink shop and asked for skim ice cream.

Lily took an ice cream and sat at a table where no one was around.

Before he could eat, there was a very stylish man sitting opposite, in his twenties, with a kind face.

Albert said tentatively, "Hello, I'm a friend of Martin's. ”

Lily took a sip of ice cream and habitually said, "That idiot and bastard would have friends like you?" ”

Hearing the little girl open her mouth and scold Martin, Albert felt that she had found the right person, and the little girl's attitude towards Martin was very bad.

He added: "Martin is a star, I do the media industry. ”

Lily understood that this was a reporter, and her mind turned, but her face became more and more innocent and cute.

Albert added: "I'm here to learn some basic information about Martin and write a comprehensive news report that Martin will soon be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom." ”

Lily thought of the video she had seen, and Martin stupidly went to save those irrelevant people and said, "That idiot, what else would he do but do stupid things?" ”

Albert asked, "You don't have a good relationship with him?" Did he do anything too much to you? ”

Lily didn't answer, blinking her innocent eyes, and asked, "Which newspaper are you a reporter for?" It can't be a bad guy, right? ”

Albert glanced at the beautiful middle school girl who was harmless to humans and animals, and pulled out his work card for her to read: "News of the World." ”

Lily hadn't read the paper, but it sounded like a strange name: "The world's newspaper? ”

"That's right! Distributed in many places around the world! Albert didn't mention anything about his relationship with The Sun, and asked seductively, "Did Martin bully you?" ”

Lily subconsciously touched the top of her head, and since Martin broke her leg, she seemed to have received a lot of punches.

But she could hear that the reporter's question was not quite right, and said: "It's not bullying, it's just that he eats soft rice at my house, my family used to be very poor, and the food was not enough, so I had to rob it." ”

Albert was disappointed and continued to induce: "Nothing else? He stays in your house for a long time, your family is very small, and there are a lot of private things for girls, will a lot of embarrassing things happen? ”

Lily said that there have been many times, but I won't tell you.

She was completely sure that this was not a good person: "Embarrassing thing? It seems that there was a ......"

"What?" Albert asked.

Lily is not Martin, and it takes some time to make it up: "There are some bastards around the community who always like to bully girls, and once they bullied me, Martin saw it and beat them up and asked them to call me the head of the eldest sister, but those bastard boys obediently stopped calling the head of the big sister every time they saw me, and I was very embarrassed." ”

Albert's expression remained unchanged, but he was disappointed again, and continued to use Lily's words, but he didn't get anything useful.

Martin has been filming here for more than two months, and he has patched a lot.

Everyone just tells the truth, there is no need to make up good things for him, the normal bad things in the slums in the past will make his image fuller.

People who really know what he's done, like Elena and Bruce, won't open their mouths to the media.

A few minutes later, Albert was completely disappointed, and the stupidity that came out of Lily's mouth, and when it was actually reported, it would only turn into proof of Martin Davis's struggle to break free from the mud.

That's true for the Clayton community, and so is Lily Carter......

Albert felt that White would not have anything to gain in the House of the Beast.

"Thank you." Albert left with a friendly farewell.

He crossed the street, got into a car diagonally across the street, and shook his head at Alex, "It's useless. ”

"White's side didn't get anything either." Alex said.

Albert suggested: "Head, do you want to change the target?" ”

Alex vetoed: "Don't you think that's not normal?" Like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, etc., which of these stars who have risen from the bottom is not a lot of black material? Why has Martin Davis been a positive move out of poverty in recent years? Is this reasonable? ”

What he sees will not be easily changed, just as he did with certain politicians, the families of 911 victims, and veterans of the war wounded in Afghanistan.

No grievances, no hatred, just for the news.

Alex no longer hesitated: "Call White and ask him to go back to the hotel immediately, and we will go to Washington." ”

On the other side, Lily waited for a while, then immediately took out her phone and sent a text message to Martin.

There is another chapter later.
