Chapter 5 No one doesn't like gossip

John told with sadness about today's encounter, this morning on patrol, he encountered a family dispute called the police, arrived and found that it was a couple of disparity in size quarrelling, close to 120 kilograms of strong man husband privately told John that his wife, who looked no more than 1.60 meters and would not weigh more than 50 kilograms, abused him.

John, who was ridiculous, appeased her husband and did not take it to heart, and left after a brief mediation.

In the afternoon, he and his instructor, Talia Bishop, received another call from the same place, and when they arrived, they saw the delicate-looking wife riding on the strong man husband and stabbing him in the neck with an ice pick more than ten times, and by the time the two had subdued his wife, the burly husband had already died of blood loss.

John looked very depressed: "I pressed his neck, but I couldn't do anything, I could only feel his life passing away little by little, and he was still talking to me face to face not long ago." ”

"Originally, I thought I was mentally prepared, but when this kind of thing happened, I found that it was not like this."

Jack put his arm around his shoulders and smiled, "I thought you would feel guilty for not helping or blaming yourself for that husband's death, in which case I might comfort and convince you with a bunch of reasoning that it's not your responsibility." ”

"I'm glad, since you didn't think so, then I don't know what to say, I was in a coma when my parents died, and I woke up after a few days. So, all I can say is, let time smooth it all out. ”

John gratefully put his arm around Jack's shoulder.

"Man, thank you, you sometimes really make me feel like I'm not in front of a young man who is only three years older than my son, but an old guy I've known for years."

Jack's eyes swept strangely over the two girls on the side.

"Is this old guy taking advantage of me?" The girls laughed and trembled.

"Tell me about you." Jack pointed at Lucy with a beer bottle, "How was the first day today?" Did Officer Bradford let you go in the end? ”

As if stopped by this sudden question, Lucy's face was tangled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Officer Bradford doesn't seem to be targeting me on purpose, I think he's a soft-hearted person." ”

Hannah nodded: "He is indeed a disgusting and kind person, if you think he is making things difficult for you, it's just that he doesn't want to let go of any unqualified rookie, being a street patrol officer in Los Angeles is a very dangerous thing, and he will lose his life if he lacks ability." ”

"So, Lucy, how did you find out he's a good guy? Obviously you were still angry in the morning. A malicious smile opened into Jack's mouth.

Lucy hesitated for a long time before she spoke uncertainly: "I don't know if this involves his privacy, but I don't want this matter to spread outside of the four of us today." ”

"We swear." Everyone loves to listen to gossip, and the three of them spoke in unison, and raised three fingers at the same time.

"Today when we arrested a street DU vendor, there was a female homeless man, who looked like an addict, Bradford talked to her for a few words, and gave her all the cash on him, and when he got back to the car, I asked him what was going on, and he said that this was his wife who had been missing for more than a year, and he looked very sad."

"Oh my God." Hannah covered her mouth in surprise: "That must be Isabella." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hannah continued: "Tim Bradford's wife is called Isabella, who used to be an undercover agent for the DEA (Federal Bureau of Arrest DU), who unfortunately contracted DU addiction during a mission and ran away from home a year ago. ”

She warned Lucy with a serious expression: "If Tim doesn't take the initiative to mention this to you, you must not be stupid, colleagues in the bureau have actually been helping to find Isabella in private, and Tim alone thinks that he has hidden this secret well." ”

Lucy nodded earnestly, and everyone turned their attention to Jack, who was studying the bottle.

"What's wrong? Why do you think I'm doing that? Jack tried to play dumb.

"Shouldn't you share your experience today? We've talked about everything. Lucy slapped the table angrily.

Jack pouted, "Angela threatens me not to tell anyone unless you ask for a second round of drinking." ”

"Beauty, four more bottles of Budweiser." John immediately raised his hand to greet the hostess nearby.

Jack took a slow sip and began to narrate, "Today we arrested a pair of female lace ......."

"Finally Angela sprayed an entire bottle of disinfectant and threatened to kill me if I dared to tell the truth."

John and Lucy laughed back and forth, but Hannah put his arms around Jack's neck and looked fierce: "Call Angela by her name so quickly, your relationship is progressing very quickly." ”

Jack hurriedly signaled Hannah to pay attention to the occasion with his eyes, and shouted at the same time: "Didn't you say that it is inconvenient for us to stagger the time, let me have a good relationship with Angela as soon as possible, and let her teach me pistol shooting skills for you, I will get up early every day to prepare breakfast for two and lunch for three people every day." ”

Glancing at John, Lucy asked with interest, "So, what is the relationship between the two of you?" ”

Jack hurriedly raised his hand to clarify: "Hannah and I used to be friends, and now I am my landlord, and I am responsible for her three meals a day to pay the rent." ”

"Humph!" Hannah gave him a disdainful look.

"LAPD does not allow office romances, once it happens, one party must take the initiative to apply for transfer to other departments or sub-bureaus, and if you are a rookie, you will even be fired directly, but I am already applying for the FBI, and when I leave LAPD, I will take the initiative to pursue Jack, he is mine, I like him."

Jack choked on Hannah's bold gesture of affection and coughed, not noticing John and Lucy's instantly ashen faces.

When the party ended, Hannah, who realized it later, realized that the atmosphere was a little awkward at the end, and turned her head to ask Jack in the passenger seat: "Are John and Lucy ......?"

Jack nodded: "That's right, they got to school in the last two months of the police academy, I thought it would be okay to graduate without it, but I didn't expect Zoe to pick both of them into the Wilshire Police Department." ”

Hannah wrinkled her cute nose and muttered, "Why are they so many years old?" ”

Jack touched the back of his head weakly, but didn't dare to take the conversation.

The two were silent for a moment, and Jack opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere.

"I saw the names of Detective Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall when I visited the Police Department's Wall of Honor today, do you know them?"
