When Murphy's mother came in, the vice president was resting his legs on the desk, reclining, leisurely watching a small video.

Murphy's mother briefly explained the matter, saying that his father was sick and needed to take three days off.

The vice president didn't even look at her, and he didn't even pause the video, but just said lightly: "No!" ”

Then he complained: "Are you embarrassed to take a leave of absence when you are so busy?" ”

"But, my dad is sick, it could be serious!" Murphy's mother said.

"Hmph, what does it have to do with me if it's not serious? That's your own business! My requirement is that you do a good job of the project you are responsible for! Understand? The vice president rolled his eyes as he spoke, in a very impatient tone.

Murphy's mother: "......" was speechless for a moment, pondering how to persuade him, hoping that the other party would give him a leave.

At this moment, another beautiful young girl came in and asked for leave, saying that she was going to Hawaii for a vacation, and it would take seven days!

Murphy's mother said to herself, your project is busier than mine, and you still have seven days? How could it be!

Who knows, the vice president laughed and said: "Hawaii, good place, the climate is much better than Los Angeles, go ahead, have fun!" ”

"Pete, you're so nice! Love you! When the time comes, I will bring you a small gift! ”

"Thank you in advance!"

Then the young and beautiful girl went out with joy!

At this moment, Murphy's mother's heart was simply turned upside down, she forcibly held back her anger, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Pete, why can she take a leave of absence, but I can't?" I asked myself, is the job better than she does? ”

Pete sneered: "What's wrong with not giving you leave?" ”

The heart said that you are an old woman, and you still want to compare with other little girls?!

Murphy's mother couldn't take it anymore and said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving, from now on!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, without looking back!

The vice president was stunned, and hurriedly jumped up and chased out, shouting: "You haven't finished your work today!" ”

However, Murphy's mother left directly, and there was nothing to clean up.

California does not raise idlers, and the boss can naturally fire employees at will, no matter how long the employee has worked, there is no legal obligation to compensate, but why can't the employee just leave if he wants?

"Elijah, my father had a gastrointestinal endoscopy this afternoon, and the problem may be more serious."

After Murphy's mother came out of the company, she called her husband and talked about her old father's illness.

It's just that before the words were finished, her husband said impatiently: "I'm busy, why don't you talk about it in the evening?" ”

Murphy's mother said, "I want to go back to San Francisco right away, and I'll be there right away!" ”

"Then you go, I'll be notified if there's news." Soon, her husband hung up.

Murphy's mother: "......" her original intention was to let her husband accompany her. However, it is clear that people do not have this idea. I didn't even care about my condition.

Originally, she wanted to tell her husband that she was unemployed, but it is estimated that the other party would not care.

Murphy's mother wanted to cry a little, but quickly, wiped away her tears, cheered up, and hurried home.

Her current husband is not Murphy's father.

When Murphy was a child, her father died to protect her. So Murphy's mother later married another man, and the relationship was average. After all, it is really difficult to find true love in the second marriage.

As for the child, with the precedent of Murphy, he didn't dare to ask for it anymore. And the man doesn't seem to like children very much.

Murphy's mother feels that this marriage seems to be dispensable, and it is still the old parents and Murphy who are more important.

I hurried home, packed up a little, and went straight to the airport alone with my suitcase.

San Francisco International Airport is about 13 miles from the city, after getting off the plane, Murphy's mother originally wanted to take a taxi to go, but finally got in line, and when people heard that they were going to San Francisco, they immediately refused to take it!

It made Murphy's mother confused!

Then, she had to take the subway to get there. After arriving at the destination station and leaving the station, I realized what was going on!

I saw that outside on the streets, in the park, there were "firecrackers" everywhere, all kinds of battles.

A bullet flew over with a "whoosh~" and hit not far from her, shattering a glass of glass, so scared that Murphy's mother hurriedly got back to the subway station!

"Oh my God, Los Angeles is chaotic, but it's not like this, has it never been like this?" Murphy's mother hid in a corner, shivering as she listened to the sound of firecrackers outside.

She thought about it and called the police.

The police told her to try to hide and stay safe. And then...... There is no then.

Murphy's Mom: "......"

"Oh my God, I wonder how Murphy and they live here?"

She had no choice but to call her daughter.

Murphy was reading a book under the covers, and the sound of firecrackers in the distance could not disturb her.

She lives on the second floor, while her grandparents live on the first floor. Grandpa was tired from the day today and soon fell asleep, while grandma guarded and took care of him.

Although the security outside is not good, the door is closed, and it can barely be regarded as a stable little world.

In the community where they live, although the road is broken, the security force is okay. All the money for road construction was used to improve defenses.

When the phone rang, Murphy took it casually, pressed the connect button, and before he could speak, a gunshot rang out on the other end of the phone.

“mom?” Murphy was shocked! The caller ID was her mother, but there was a gunshot, and she thought that something had happened to her mother!

Fortunately, her mother's frightened voice soon came: "Murphy, I'm now trapped in the subway station in Balboa Park......"

"Mom, you're coming to San Francisco?" Murphy couldn't believe it. Why don't you say a word, and suddenly come?

If I did, I wouldn't recommend you come at night!

After all, Murphy had been here for a few days, and knew that the night in this city was not something for normal people to hang out at all.

"Well, I've called the police, but there's no police to save me." On the other end of the phone, my mother's voice was a little desperate.

Murphy: "......"

"Either I'd better go back again, or find a hotel elsewhere in the Bay Area, and come back early tomorrow morning." Murphy's mother said.

Murphy nodded, seemingly a good idea.

However, before she could speak, her mother changed her mind: "I'm sorry, Murphy, it's like there's no subway tonight!" ”

Because of a loud noise, the ground shook, and it seemed that a tunnel had collapsed not far away!

It's a big deal!

Murphy was silent for a moment: "Then you wait where you are, I'll find someone to pick you up." ”

"Huh?" Murphy's mother was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

She just called her daughter's number, not to Murphy to save her, but to inform Murphy that she was in Balboa Park.

Because, she pondered, if something happened, her daughter would come over tomorrow to claim the body, she didn't want to die silently like this, not even a loved one.

As for the parents? Old! And the husband? Where can it be trusted!

Only her daughter is the person she is closest to and dearest, and the person she wants to contact the most when she encounters a life crisis!

It's just that she never expected that Murphy actually had a way?

Murphy said, "I'm looking for Dr. Zhou." Then, he hung up.

Murphy's mother: Who is Dr. ...... "Zhou"? Why can I help my daughter for no reason?

My daughter, she shouldn't be deceived, right? She is simple, autistic, and doesn't understand the sinister outside world!

Mother Murphy began to pray.

……

Murphy lay down, staring at the ceiling in a daze, motionless, like a silicone doll.

Next to the pillow, a strange fragrance came, Murphy's eyes blinked, and after all, he picked up the phone and dialed out.
