132 head-to-head
After Ethan explained the situation at the scene, he got into the ambulance under the watchful eyes of the county and state police.
In this case, he was able to successfully counter-kill, knocked down four people, and forced the other bandits to flee in a hurry, but he didn't expect that there would be such a fierce guy at the Banshee Town Police Station.
On the contrary, Brock and Emmett were no longer surprised and continued with the work at hand.
At the same time, the Chino Moon Casino.
Nora was lying on the couch in her office, boredly playing with the knife in her hand.
Behind the plush wide desk, Alex was scrolling through his phone.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a knock on the office door.
Alex put down his phone, "Come in." ”
The tall guard pushed open the door and said to Alex:
"Boss, Procott is here and wants to see you."
Alex hesitated, then said to the guard:
"Bring him in."
The guard bowed his head and closed the office door.
"What does Proctor want to do?" Nora thrust the knife in her hand into the table.
"We'll find out later."
Alex pulled out a small smile, and then apprehensively took the file next to him and spread it out.
Moments later, there was another knock on the door.
Nora sat on the couch and watched Procott walk into the office.
Behind Procott was a bespectacled and bowtie fellow who noticed her gaze and glanced at her casually.
The eyes behind the glasses are cold, and everything is indifferent.
This is not an easy person to deal with, Nora squinted her eyes and immediately concluded.
In the time it had been, the newly built casino had been bombed, the money cart had been hijacked, and she knew Alex had been questioned by the tribal commissioners.
In response, they also blew up Procott's cattle cart and kidnapped his niece.
It's just that in the confrontation with Procott, they have always been at a disadvantage, and yesterday there were two people in the tribe who were crippled, so it can be said that the two sides are now in a state of needle-to-needle.
Now Proctor has taken the initiative to visit, and I don't know what he is going to do this time.
While Nora was thinking, Proctor stopped, and Alex flipped through the papers, writing a few strokes from time to time.
He didn't speak, turned his head and smiled at Nora, then stood still, and the office fell into an eerie silence.
After a while, Alex couldn't bear it anymore, he stopped what he was doing, and asked without raising his head:
"Mr. Procot, I wonder what you're looking for me?"
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Procott's mouth, and Alex was still so breathless.
He laughed a little, and then said:
"Won't you ask me to sit down?"
Alex tossed the pen aside and looked up, "I'm not letting people clean you up, it's already very polite." ”
"Don't be so hostile to me."
Prokotra sat down in the chair next to her, and continued in a calm tone:
"I'm here to show goodwill, I told you before that peace takes more effort than struggle, and I'm still learning."
Procott pulled a small bag out of his pocket and threw it on his desk.
"I hope you'll take this as a gift, it's the tooth of the man who killed the girl in your tribe."
"With this, you also have an account for your people, you can tell them that you did it for them, and I believe it will win you great support."
Alex rubbed his beard for a moment, then picked up the pouch, which contained several blood-stained teeth.
Proctor didn't say anything more, he nodded to Proctor and Nora, and got up and left.
When the guards closed the office door, Nora said in a deep voice:
"You know it's not going to change anything.
Alex shook his head, played with the small bag in his hand and said:
"I don't like Proctor more than you do, but we have too many enemies right now."
"Now is not a good time to fight, maybe we can stop fighting with Procott for a while."
Alex is trying to decide whether or not to get off the donkey downhill, accepts Procott's kindness, and uses Procott to clear the way.
Nora stood up and said excitedly:
"We can't get involved with Procott, you know he's been coveting a stake in our casino."
Alex stepped out from behind his desk and pulled out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him.
"You don't understand, now Hunter has been doing the work of other committee members and wants to remove me from office."
He poured half a glass of wine and took a sip
"If I don't have who I am now, then what are we left of, and now there is a smell of blood in the water, and they can smell it."
"If there is a smell of blood in the water."
Nora grabbed Alex by the collar with both hands, "Why can't you be a shark and hunt them all down." ”
Alex swallowed his drink and pushed Nora away.
"I have my idea, you don't need to say more."
Growing up together, Nora knows that her brother has cowardice in his bones. She looked at Alex in exasperation.
"I know what you're thinking, working with Procott is fraught with danger, and whoever the commissioners of the tribe want you to step down, you're going to kill whomever you want."
"I'd rather do it myself than let Procott come."
"If you don't dare to do it, let me do it."
Alex's careful thoughts were said by Nora, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he shouted sharply:
"Please tell clearly, it's just me here, not us."
"This is my tribe, I have the final say."
Nora looked at him in surprise, "Why are you telling me this, you know I'm not interested in money, I just want to help you." ”
"I'm a man, I'm the chief of the Chino tribe, and I don't need a woman to tell me what to do."
Alex sat back in his chair, looked at Nora and said resolutely:
"You're out of my office now, you don't belong here."
Nora didn't expect Alex to say such a thing, she bit her cheek in disappointment and turned to leave the office.
When she left, Alex pulled his tie off.
He looked at the picture of the old chief on the wall, poured the wine with ice cubes into his mouth, and bit it with a clattering sound.
"Father, I will prove to you that I am your most powerful child."
The ambulance returned to the hospital, and Ethan, after cleaning the wound and stitching it, refused the request to be admitted to the hospital and came to Siobhan's room.
Siobhan was already asleep in bed, and Ethan asked the nurse next to him:
"How's she doing?"
"The doctor examined her, she had a concussion, and after a night's rest and tomorrow's observation, she can be discharged from the hospital."
The nurse in white said casually, then looked up at Ethan, her voice becoming surprised.
"How do I think your situation is more serious."
Ethan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Not long after, Emmett also came to the hospital, and when he saw Ethan's bloodstained appearance, he hurriedly said:
"You go back and rest first, we and several nearby counties have issued a territory-wide wanted warrant, and the sheriff has got a federal search warrant and is going to the Chino tribe with the state police."
This behavior of the Red Bones is a serious provocation to the police, and they must respond most directly.
However, at this time, Cheton should not be stupid enough to run back to the residence, and there is not much hope of catching him.
Ethan glanced at the sleeping Siobhane, sighed, and got up to leave the hospital.
