Chapter 44: Conveying the "Last Words"
At 8 p.m., at the Wilshire precinct, Jack, who was walking and nibbling on a hamburger, found John, who was handing over banker Caleb Yost with the county sheriffs.
"I told Hannah to go back to rest first, and just after talking to the hospital on the phone, the deputy sheriff named Graham is out of danger, and we are going to visit him."
John's expression was a little weird, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I just asked, Graham doesn't have a wife and has always been single, so what he asked me to convey to Beth before......"
The name of the European and American Yankees is trouble, all kinds of abbreviations and nicknames, and it is necessary to distinguish whether to call the name or the surname according to the degree of intimacy, Jack sighed, pulled a county police officer who came to escort the prisoner and asked.
"May I ask if you have any friends or colleagues named Elizabeth or Isabella around Vice-Captain Graham?"
"My name is Elizabeth, may I ask what is the matter?" Not far away, a white policewoman in her 40s walked over.
John looked surprised: "Do you know Graham?" ”
The policewoman nodded: "Yes, we have worked together for the past five years. ”
Jack finished nibbling on the burger in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "Did he call you Beth?" ”
The policewoman's face was a little strange, and she didn't answer positively: "Why do you ask this." ”
John scratched his head and explained, "That's right, we found Graham's two LAPDs at the scene of the accident. ”
"He grabbed my hand before getting into the ambulance and told me to say something."
"What?" Elizabeth looked left and right, her eyes were a little moist and red, she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and seemed to want to explain something: "I heard that he might not survive, so I ......"
John hurriedly waved his hand: "No, my colleague contacted the hospital just now, he is out of danger, he was ...... before"
He hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Jack felt that he had rolled his eyes too much today, so he simply took over the conversation: "He said please tell Beth, he loves you." ”
Elizabeth seemed a little incredulous, covering her mouth with her hands, obviously with joy in the corners of her eyes, but her voice was choked: "You lied." ”
"Nope!" John hurriedly testified on Jack's behalf: "He thought he was going to die, and these were his last words. ”
"So, is that you? Are you dating? Jack, the melon eater, was busy asking, this is probably the only episode in this bad day, except for the harvest of a little Lori kiss, and he must gossip to the end.
Elizabeth's tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded her head again and again: "He's my friend, a good kind, there was a time when I thought he would ask me out, and I wished he could speak, but he never did." ”
Da la la la la la
"I think he must have regretted it very, very much at the time, and now we are going to visit him in the central hospital, would you like to join us?"
John invited, and Elizabeth nodded excitedly as she wiped her fingers from the welling up tears.
"I'll drive." Jack was so excited that he crumpled the hamburger wrapper in his hand and threw it backwards, just in the trash can in the corner.
"What a fairytale ending." After listening to Jack's recounting of eating melons, Hannah, who was nestled on the sofa, kissed him with a red face.
"Oh, yes." As if suddenly remembering something, Jack added, "John and his Dr. Gallis seem to have the potential to develop further, and it gives me goosebumps when I saw them looking at each other affectionately in the hospital just now." ”
"What about us? Valentine's Day is still 2 months away, but I'm already in Kuntik by then, do you want us to bring it forward? ”
Hannah put her arms around Jack's neck, her burning snort seemingly raising the temperature around her by several degrees.
Jack lowered his head to plant a strawberry on her fair and sexy collarbone, and was about to explore downward, but she was pushed away with a coquettish smile.
"We agreed to wait until I came back from Quantiko, are you going to break the agreement?"
Jack lets out a low, frustrated growl and slaps the chick on her buttocks as punishment for teasing him.
He hated the convention, whether it was with Hannah or with Zoe, it was so annoying.
In the following days, good things happened one after another, first the two books of the Divine Crossing added a series of entry-level life skills such as farming, carpentry, machining, photography, etc., and some skills actually produced fusion, and subdivided some derivative skills.
For example, farming merged with his original gardening to form planting, and the newly acquired EOD was fused with the original chemistry and manual skills to derive explosives and bomb disposal skills.
The skill tree that has been enriched a lot at once is really dazzling, which surprises Jack and deeply feels the lack of gold coins in the system, the 5 gold coins that were rewarded before being positive, plus the 3 coins that have been saved recently, are only 8 in total, which is still not enough to improve a master-level skill.
He was still hesitating whether to point the rifle archery to mastery first, or wait until he had accumulated 10 pistols to the master level, and from then on he would have invincible magic skills within ten steps.
The two skills have their own strengths, considering that there will be a long time to mix in LAPD in the future, and there are many big scenes that need to use rifles, Jack hesitated and decided to keep even if he saved enough 10 system gold coins and acted on the opportunity.
In addition, he has acquired skills in other ways over the past few months, such as lockpicking from Angela, and entry-level Spanish and French acquired through self-study with language books and conversation practice with colleagues.
However, after all, time is limited, these skill levels are only at the introductory stage, and Jack does not intend to waste system gold on these skills, under normal circumstances, the introductory level is enough to deal with most situations.
With continuous learning and training, the basic attributes are still improving, and these skills will be gradually upgraded in the process of use.
The next good thing is that Jack finally has his own house in this world, and after a series of tedious procedures, the small white two-story building at 7765 Genesee Street has finally been transferred to his name.
The price he paid for this was nearly $3,000 a month in loan bills, which he needed to repay for 20 years, although he thought that he didn't want to get a stack of bills at the end of every month like Lao Mei, but before he knew it, someone had gradually become the shape of this world.
Just like the Seris people who entered the 21st century in their previous life, borrowed a loan from the bank that required a lifetime of hard work to repay, and bought a house of their own.
After putting Daniel Lawson and his son on a plane to Salt Lake City, Jack took a three-day break to roughly clean up the house inside and out, and over the weekend, moved his belongings in.
