The next day, when it was dark, Ethan woke up Blake, who was still asleep.

After putting his things in the car, Blake confusedly sent an address to Ethan on his mobile phone, and then fell asleep in the passenger seat.

Well, this field is tired, but fortunately, my ploughing cow can withstand it.

Ethan smoked a pick-me-up cigarette and drove the Dodge Challenger to Blake's address.

Blake slept for more than an hour, and finally woke up, stretching with sleepy eyes, and the mountain peaks rising.

"Where are we?"

She glanced out the window, it was already dark, and the car was crossing the desolate pastures.

Ethan handed her a cup of coffee she had bought on the road, "It's almost time at your uncle's house." ”

It's a desolate town, full of houses in disrepair, and you can hear crows chirping from time to time, making it look extremely desolate.

In comparison, Banshee Town is much more lively and prosperous.

After driving for a few more minutes, I saw a red brick factory with vines on the side of the road, and the two-story factory building looked like it had been abandoned for many years.

The glass of the windows above had disappeared, and a few crows were pacing back and forth on them with flapping wings, the rotten wooden frames swaying.

A gust of wind blew through the hollow factory building, making a whimper.

Blake inadvertently turned her head sideways, but she saw a little boy flashing behind a window on the second floor, and she quickly patted Ethan on the arm.

"Hey, look, there's a little boy in here."

Ethan looked back and saw nothing, the crow was still staggering.

He smiled and reached out and rubbed Blake's head, and said:

"Haven't you woken up yet? How could there be children in such a place. ”

Blake was a little confused, but she looked back again.

At this time, only a few crows in the window were seen flapping their wings and flying away.

Blake stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and she wondered if she had just read it wrong.

After turning a corner, a wooden house with a blue roof and white walls appeared on the side of the road, surrounded by a low white wooden fence, and behind the house was a small forest.

I don't know what kind of crops are planted in the farm on the side of the road, but they have grown to a height of more than half a meter, and in the early morning sun, they are golden.

"I think this is it."

Ethan slowed down and pulled up to the front of the house.

Blake picked up his mobile phone and called, and after a while, the door of the white villa was opened, and a middle-aged man with a somewhat handsome appearance walked out.

Blake got out of the car in surprise and ran up to hug the middle-aged man.

Ethan also turned off the engine and got out of the car and took Blake's suitcase out of the car.

Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and Ethan turned around, and Blake's uncle walked up behind him, smiling and holding out his hand.

"Hello, I'm Jonathan Gaines, thank you for sending Blake."

"Mr. Gaines, you call me Ethan, you're welcome, I'm friends with Blake."

Ethan shook his hand, and Jonathan's hands were covered in calluses and dressed like a typical small American farmer, with thick brown leather boots, blue jeans, and a jacket over his shirt.

At this time, someone came out of the house, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and a cute little girl.

They hugged Blake and walked over together.

"Just call me Jonathan, I've heard Father Blake mention you, it's my wife Karen, and my daughter Wendy."

Jonathan introduced him with a happy face, and Ethan shook Karen's hand before pulling out a bag of chocolates from the car.

Yesterday Blake told him that there was a little girl at his uncle's house, and that he had bought coffee with him when he was on the road.

"Wendy, nice to meet you, this is a gift I brought you."

Ethan smiled and handed the little girl a large bag of chocolates in his hand.

The little girl Wendy looked at the chocolate in Ethan's hand, and her eyes almost lit up, but she still didn't take it, but looked at Karen.

Karen and Jonathan looked at each other and smiled, then said to Wendy:

"It's a gift for you, you can take it."

"Thank you." Wendy happily took the chocolate from Ethan's hand, then bit her finger and looked at him.

"You're so handsome."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Jonathan picked Wendy up and said to Ethan:

"Come in and make it, Karen has prepared a good breakfast for you."

Ethan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and politely refused:

"Thank you, I've already eaten on the way, and now I'm going back to work, so I won't bother you."

After hugging Blake, Ethan and Jonathan's family waved goodbye and drove back to Banshee Town.

Back at the police station, Ethan made a beeline for the coffee machine.

He didn't return to his seat until he had picked up a large cup of coffee.

"What time did you go to bed last night?" Siobhan tapped his desk with his watchsheet.

"It's not very late, it's just past three o'clock."

"The young man's health is good, is your little friend gone?" Siobhan grabbed a solid arm.

"Yes, I just sent her back, but compared to her, it seems like you're a child."

Ethan glanced at Siobhan with interest, and when he said the word small, his tone was aggravated, and he said with a pun.

Siobhan's face changed, and he walked quietly behind Ethan, then unceremoniously wrapped his arms around his neck.

"What are you talking about? I kind of say it again. ”

"Wrong, I was wrong, you're also a big friend." Ethan felt the oppression behind him and happily begged for mercy.

"That's pretty much it." Siobhan let go of his arm and rubbed his hair.

"This is the police station, the impact is not very good, you two want to open a room, right?"

Brock, who was sitting next to him, also joined in the fun, and the next moment he was pushed back by two middle fingers, and Emmett immediately burst out laughing.

Today, Ethan and Siobhan went out on patrol together.

After a few laps, Alma's voice rang over the radio, and a report was received that someone had been harassed in his backyard and asked to go over and deal with it.

After the two looked at each other, Siobhan turned the steering wheel and drove towards the address where the crime was reported.

Soon came to the scene of the report, and as soon as I got out of the car, I heard a loud shout from the back of the house.

"Get out of my backyard, I've called the cops, you bastard."

He and Siobhan hurriedly walked through the lawn between the two houses to the backyard of the house.

In the swimming pool in the backyard, a naked long-haired man stood and cursed at the people outside the guardrail behind him, and a man with no strands half-crouched and hid behind the long-haired man aggrievedly.

Ethan took another closer look, yes, they were all men.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Siobhan saw the white man in his hood standing outside the fence and hurriedly shouted.

The people in the pool heard the sound and said in surprise:

"Officer, you're here to get this psychotic person arrested?"

The hooded man did not run away, he pulled his hands on the fence, and roared angrily:

"Why did you betray me, why?"
