047 Deliberation
After Ethan finished speaking, the scene was so quiet that it seemed to be heard if a needle had dropped.
Both Jabber and Candy were focused on Hood, not knowing what he was going to do.
After a while, Hood looked at the pictures on the wall and said lightly:
"I used to work for rabbits, and Carly was the rabbit's daughter."
"She and I were work partners, and while we were doing a job, we had an accident."
"As I left the scene, I led the security guards to get apprehended, and Carly, with the help of Jabb, fled to Banshee Town with the results of our work by changing her name and surname."
"Then she and Gordon got married, and you know what happened next."
"The rabbit has always wanted to find out where Carly is and recover what we have taken."
Hearing that Hood finally told the story and the plan, Ethan raised his eyebrows: "So where is the real Sheriff Hood?" “
"He's dead." Hood said very simply:
"I was in a bad mood when I first came to town and came to Davis's Bar for a drink when he was clashing with Procott's men, Munson and Randall."
"All three of them were killed in the clashes, and Candy was on the scene, and he can testify about that."
Candy looked at Ethan with a solemn face and nodded heavily.
Ethan asked, "Then why are you talking to me about these things?" ”
"I need your help, Orek must have run back to New York, and when he reappears, he won't be alone." Hood let out a breath and continued, "You can help me protect Carly for the past two days, and the rabbit's people will be handed over to me." ”
Jia Bo slapped the table in a hurry: "Fayu, have you forgotten me?" ”
Candy also pulled out a double-barreled shotgun from under the bar: "My old bones are not for nothing, if they dare to come, I will let these bastards know whose territory it is." ”
"Wait a minute, did you make a mistake, even if the real Lucas Hood wasn't killed, you always pretend to be a sheriff, right?" Ethan pressed the cigarette butt against the bar and crushed it vigorously:
"Why should I help you? Also, you give me a reason why I don't arrest you. ”
Hearing Ethan say this, Candy immediately pressed his hand on the double-barreled shotgun placed on the bar:
"Hey, I advise you not to be stupid."
"Candy, don't do that." Hood hurriedly shouted: "Ethan is not our enemy, he has nothing to do with us, you don't need to be nervous, even if he doesn't agree, I will let him out of here."
After Candy's hand was removed from the shotgun, Hood turned around and said with a serious face:
"If you choose to help me this time, then you can gain the friendship of several of us, and I mean true friendship."
"As I said just now, their criminal organization has revenge, you injured Orek last night, they will definitely put you on the bill, at this time, you also need friends."
"Finally, based on what I know about you, you shouldn't have paid any attention to the matter of impersonating the sheriff, and if I'm not mistaken, the two Moody brothers died at your hands, right?"
Hood smiled with a smile on his face, "On the night of Cole's wake, I saw your pickup appear near Davis's Bar, although it was very hidden, but believe my eyesight, I still saw it." ”
After speaking, Hood picked up the cigarette case and lighter placed on the top of the bar, and took two cigarettes out of it.
He handed one to Ethan, his hand holding the cigarette steady as a rock, and Candy and Jarber looked at Ethan nervously.
It didn't take long for Ethan to take the cigarette under their expectant eyes, and Hood protected the lighter and helped him light it.
As Ethan let out a heavy puff of smoke, Hood laughed.
"From now on, we will be in the same boat." Jaber shook his hand and patted him on the back.
When the candy stretched out his hand, Ethan grabbed it hard, he thought the candy would not be able to stand it, but he didn't expect the old boxer to just frown slightly.
But Ethan didn't care, he half-jokingly and half-threateningly pulled the corner of his coat away, revealing the python revolver inside:
"Don't threaten me with a gun in the future, never do it, I'm taboo about this."
"I'm so sorry about that." Candy hands retracted, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
"You old bastard."
Ethan saw Candy apologize seriously, smiled and cursed, and hugged him.
In fact, Ethan knew that after he came to the black world, he had been hesitant to join the protagonist group, after all, these people had a lot of troubles, but after being shot by Orek last night, he made up his mind.
Hood is right when he says that everyone needs to have friends, especially those who can stand firmly behind them.
He has never forgotten the memories left by his predecessor, and the experience of being chased for three streets with a gun naked is indeed unforgettable.
"Let's all have a drink, with Ethan's help, our odds are better."
Candy happily took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet: "I have treasured this bottle of whiskey for many years, it's time to open this old fellow." ”
"Let's let your old buddy continue to rest, it's not time to celebrate."
Ethan bit his cigarette and looked at Hood and Jabber: "Based on what you two know about rabbits, how many people they can draw and what firepower they will equip."
As Hood spoke, Ethan couldn't help but rub his temples.
Before the rabbit's criminal organization acts, it generally sends individuals to inquire about the news, and then arranges different plans according to the strength of the target.
If the target is tricky, the rabbit will even bring someone out in person.
As for the firepower, Hood only described it as enough to destroy the Banshee Town Police Department.
Candy touched the old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun that was placed under the bar and scratched her face in embarrassment.
"According to you, we have no chance of winning." Ethan remembered something and looked up at Candy: "By the way, you repeat what you just said." ”
Candy spread out his hands puzzled: "I just said so many words, which sentence do you want me to repeat?" ”
Ethan thought for a moment and said, "Just now you said if they dared to come"
"Well, that's right." Candy took over casually: "I'll let those bastards know whose territory this is." ”
"Yes." Ethan nodded:
"That's right, that's it."
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Candy scratched her head.
"Of course there's a problem, it's not your territory." Ethan tapped his finger on the countertop, "We don't want to admit it, but in some ways, this place belongs to one person. ”
"Kai Procout!"
Hood's eyes lit up, "You mean to ask him for help?" ”
"Who's Kai Procot?" Jaber asked, puzzled.
"You could interpret him as the rabbit of Banshee Town, and in some ways, he is stronger than the rabbit." Candy took the words, with a little inexplicable pride.
"But I don't have any friendship with him." Hood's eyes darkened, then he looked at Candy again.
"Hey, don't look at me." Candy waved his palm quickly: "Although I have known him for a long time, in his eyes, I am just a small person. ”
Ethan drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp: "I'll go, I've dealt with him a few times." ”
"Yes, you saved his life at the last welcome party." Candy nodded hurriedly:
"He owes you a favor, maybe what you say will work."
"Thank you." Hood said gratefully, "Whether Proctor agrees or not, I won't forget this." ”
"Now is not the time to talk about this, the situation is urgent, I'll go to him now." Ethan and the rest of them nodded, and walked briskly out of Davis' Bar.
