Chapter 14: Spare Guns
Jack on the side forcibly suppressed the excitement of seeing his childhood idol, and a shy smile appeared on his face: "Hello, Ms. Dee Dee McCall, I'm Jack Tawolle." ”
Unexpectedly, Dee Dee McCall took the initiative to stretch out his hands to the sunny boy in front of him and hugged him: "Hello, handsome big boy, I'm glad you guys are here." ”
Walking into the house, but not seeing the long-awaited figure, seeing the puzzled looks of the two, Dee Dee McCall sighed: "Rick unfortunately suffered a stroke two months ago, the right half of his body is hemiplegic, and the rehabilitation is not going well. ”
The two of them tightened their hearts, and Jack hurriedly said, "Can we take a look at him?" ”
Dee Dee McCall nodded: "Of course welcome, he hasn't been out for half a month, and he is in a better mood knowing that there are two young police officers who have come to visit him, we don't have children, so there are very few young people in the house." ”
As she spoke, she led the two to the bedroom on the first floor, pushed open the door, and a skinny, silver-haired old man was smiling at the young man and woman, and the slightly melancholy eyes could vaguely see the demeanor of this brave detective back then.
"Mr. Hunt, I'm Jack Tawolle, and it's an honor to meet you, and I've admired you for a long time." Although he tried his best to hide it, a slightly trembling voice betrayed Jack's mood at this time.
Although Rick Hunter was half paralyzed, he was very conscious, and this stubborn old man tried to stretch out his left hand, which could barely move, and shook it with Jack, feeling the excitement of the young man in front of him, and his expression was a little puzzled: "Who are Nathan Tavoler and Fanny Tavole?" ”
Jack was stunned in his heart, could it be that Detective Hunter actually knew the parents of the original body? Thinking that this old man was an old policeman who had worked in Los Angeles for more than 30 years, maybe there was really such a possibility, so he simply put aside the original typed draft in his heart, and no longer forcibly restrained, and still replied in a trembling voice: "They are my parents, do you remember them?" ”
"Of course, Nathan and Fanny are old friends of mine, and when I was still on the street, I used to go to that little shop on Saturn Street to buy some snacks for Seris, you weren't born then, are they okay now?"
Jack was shocked in his heart, and then showed a sad expression: "My house suffered a fire three years ago, and I saved my life, and they were all unfortunate ......"
"Oh poor boy." Dee Dee McCall on the side had already hugged Jack with tears in his eyes.
Rick Hunter looked guilty: "I'm sorry kid, I don't know ......"
"I'm fine, it's all in the past, I used to hear my father mention you when I was a child, so now I'm also a member of the LAPD." Jack, who turned into an actor, comforted the two old men in turn and said with a boat down the river.
Hannah on the side suddenly realized, no wonder Jack said that he was going to visit these two old men before, but he didn't know that it was a big coincidence.
Listening to Rick Hunter tell about the past, Jack secretly said that it was a fluke, it turned out that Detective Hunter, who was still a patrol police officer more than 30 years ago, once helped drive away the street gangsters who were making trouble in a small grocery store, and since then he has known his parents and has not had a deep friendship. After a long time, and later became a police detective, he was too busy with work and gradually cut off contact.
"Speaking of which, it was your parents' elopement that touched me deeply, and then I had the courage to propose to Didi." Rick Hunter said this with a look of embarrassment.
Jack was determined, he didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence, and he successfully got into a relationship with Hunter and his wife, and then, the original parents became a pair of people who knew gratitude in his mouth.
They would often follow the news in the newspapers and tell their son about Uncle Hunter's heroic deeds, and from then on they had the ambition to become a LAPD at a young age. In order to corroborate, he also vaguely talked about a case that he saw from "Detective Hunter", Hunter and Didi obviously have good memory, as long as they guide two sentences, they can clearly recall the whole case, and then Jack, who listened, nodded frequently.
Hannah, an assist expert on the side, helped to add fuel and vinegar, telling how Jack worked hard after the disaster alone, not only continued his studies, but also graduated from the police academy with excellent grades and became a young and promising police rookie.
As a result, Jack has an extra pair of uncles and aunts, and then he and Hannah are forced to have lunch and taste Aunt Deede's delicious stew.
After lunch, Uncle Hunter was helped into a wheelchair with great difficulty, and Jack sighed in his heart that Aunt Didi was not easy, Didi was less than 1.7 meters tall, while Hunter's height was 1.98 meters, and no matter how thin he was, it was a telephone pole close to 2 meters, no wonder rehabilitation was so difficult.
Pushing a wheelchair to the front yard to let the old man see the sun he hadn't seen for a long time and get some fresh air, Jack chatted with his Uncle Hunter while cleaning the lawn.
"Little Hannah said, you have been a police officer for less than 2 months, and you have already shot and killed two suspects?" Hunter gently hammered his unconscious right arm, and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, the first time was to cooperate with my rookie to train police officers to deal with hostage-taking gangsters, and the second time was to kill the duke who tried to shoot our commander, Superintendent Gray." Jack replied, expertly trimming the rose bushes.
"I thought that Los Angeles in the eighties and nineties was dangerous enough, and at that time I had to change to a new car every time I handled a case, but I didn't expect it to be much better now."
Jack nodded again and again, and said yes, yes, when I was a child, I liked to watch you drive and hit people with Didi's beautiful woman at every turn, and several cars had to be scrapped in each episode.
"Hey boy, do you have a spare gun?" Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Hunter turned around and shouted inside, "Deedi, help me get that box in the safe." ”
Dee Dee took a delicate walnut box, placed it on Hunter's lap, and asked with a smile, "Old fellow, are you really willing to give away your big baby?" ”
Jack looked at the wooden box curiously, and Hunter struggled to open it with his left hand, and there was a domineering roasted blue Colt python lying inside.
"I can't use it anyway, so I might as well give it to this nice young man, you can't just rely on a plastic gun on the dangerous street, sometimes the old guy is more reliable."
The Glock 22 gun issued by the police department that Jack is using now contains a large number of engineering plastic parts, which is jokingly called a plastic gun by some old police officers, and the Colt python, as a generation classic, was heavily equipped in the beautiful national police in the seventies and eighties.
