Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt, the saleswoman placed two buckets of popcorn heavily on the countertop:

"Hey, you two."

The girl's eyes were resolute, and she shook the phone in her hand: "Take the things away, or I'll call the police." “

"Two choices, which one do you choose?"

The three numbers of 911 are clearly visible on the screen.

"Fakyu, Bichi."

Seeing this, the jujube red baseball uniform took out the change from his pocket with an unhappy face, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on her chest: "Don't look for it, South District chick." ”

"The rest of the money should be enough for you to eat for a few days."

In the face of this humiliation, the fair-skinned girl pursed her lips and said nothing.

Feeling faceless, those two people didn't even watch the movie.

They shook their hands and swaggered outside.

When the girl saw them leaving, she put down her phone, then crouched down and picked up the money that had fallen on the ground.

She unfolded the money expressionlessly, looking like she was used to it.

Ethan really wanted to beat these two people up on the spot, but as soon as the fight started, the girl who sold popcorn was bound to be unlucky and lose her job.

He thought for a moment and turned to leave the group.

"Hey." The popcorn girl noticed this scene and tried to persuade her, but Ethan quickly followed the two out of the movie theater.

The customer in front of her came up again, and she had no choice but to give up.

The two boys in baseball uniforms quickly noticed that he was following behind.

It's not small, I really don't know about this.

But they must have very little guts, and they were just filling up their heads in the cinema just now.

After a few steps, the two men walked faster and faster, hurriedly ran to an Audi parked on the side of the road, flashed its lights, and quickly left.

Ethan shook his head and smiled, pulling out his phone.

The call was quickly connected, and the voice was surprised and a little surprised: "Good evening, Detective Morgan." ”

After the two exchanged numbers, it was the first time they had a call, which surprised him a little.

"Atwater, are you on duty?"

"yes, that's right, I'm with Burgess."

"What area are you patrolling now?"

Atwater quickly reported his area and asked excitedly, "Is BFIPU on an urgent mission that needs help?" ”

The area he was talking about was not far from where he was now.

The corners of Ethan's mouth turned up: "It's a bit of a personal matter, are you willing to help?" ”

"Of course."

Atwater is naturally full of promises, he is a smart man, and he likes others to help him with personal affairs, and this is not how friendship comes.

Ethan has a good memory and quickly reports the license plate number:

"A black Audi is driving in your direction along 65th Street."

"In the car were two men in baseball uniforms, and they were drinking."

"These two people make me very unhappy, and I want to make them very unhappy, can you do it for me?"

"No problem."

Atwater said in a deep voice, "I'm so unhappy right now, I'm not going to talk to you yet, Detective Morgan." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Ethan turned off the phone and walked back to the cinema with a relaxed footstep.

Seeing that he would be back soon, and that there was nothing unusual about him, the popcorn salesman breathed a sigh of relief and continued to bust himself with his business.

The line became much shorter, and it wasn't long before it was Ethan's turn.

The girl smiled charmingly at him: "Sir, what do you want?" ”

"A glass of Coke."

Ethan emphasized: "Be sure to put more ice cubes and less coke. ”

Looking at the popcorn buckets next to him, each one was bigger than the other, and he chose the smallest: "Let's have another copy of this, I want a butter flavor." ”

Soon, the girl brought what he wanted, and flicked her brown ponytail:

"$8.99, thank you."

Ethan looked at the popcorn bucket and the large glass of Coke that was bigger than his own head, and smacked his teeth.

I won't be able to finish this until tomorrow!

Seeing the smile of this girl, it is obvious that this is a private enlarged version.

It's worth mentioning that this thing is more expensive than a movie ticket.

Ethan pinched a few popcorn and threw them into his mouth, then took out twenty dollars and put them on the table: "Don't look for it, please keep smiling, you look good when you smile." ”

With that, he grabbed a large glass of Coke and a large bucket of popcorn and walked towards the screening room.

This girl with a ponytail smiled a lot brighter when she saw Ethan's departing figure.

It's been almost three hours, and the movie is over.

When the lights come on, he's still immersed in the sci-fi masterpiece from decades ago, especially the transition where the ape throws a bone into the sky, which is really shocking.

Later generations were rampant, and the special effects were cool.

Ethan, however, felt that compared to these classic sci-fi films, they always felt that something was missing.

Take out your phone and unmute it.

Two hours ago, Atwater sent him a text message about two boys in baseball uniforms, squatting in the detention compartment of the 21st Precinct with a depressed face.

Ethan laughed back and got up to leave.

There was no one in the cinema anymore, and when he walked outside, the cold air was raging, and he wrapped his clothes tightly.

Get on the Dodge Challenger and turn the key.

Waiting for the air conditioner outlet to blow the warm air, he slowly turned the steering wheel.

I turned a corner and came to the side of the movie theater.

A tall woman, wrapped in a gray coat, walked out of the side door, exhaled a breath of white mist, and hurried forward.

The ponytail that was tied up high made Ethan recognize at a glance that it was the popcorn salesman just now.

Eight or nine hundred meters ahead of this road, there is a subway station.

He thought about it, turned the steering wheel, and drove the Dodge Challenger to follow.

This move caused misunderstanding among others.

The girl, with slightly curly hair and a ponytail, nervously quickened her pace as she reached into her satchel.

"Hey."

Ethan lowered the window and stopped beside the girl: "Don't be nervous. ”

He leaned over and looked through the passenger window: "I bought popcorn from you just now, do you have any impressions?" ”

The girl's eyes were puzzled at first, but soon they became clear again:

"Uh-huh!"

"I remember you, and then?"

As she spoke, her hand remained in her bag.

Looking at her vigilant look, Ethan expressed his understanding, this is the South District, although it is not a chaotic neighborhood among them, but it is indispensable to guard against people.

Everyone doesn't know each other, and it's very normal to have such a reaction.

"Get in the car."

Ethan stretched out his hand to push the car door and said sincerely, "It's a big night, let me give you a ride." ”

Without waiting for the girl to shake her head and refuse, he turned to smile and said, "You can take out the anti-wolf spray and face me, it's okay." ”

Thinking of the scene just now when he stood up to speak for himself, the girl let down a little guard.

She hesitated for a moment, and sure enough, she took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray from her satchel:

"Are you serious?"

"It's my pleasure." Ethan nodded.

She looked into the distance again, and finally made up her mind to pull the door open:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ethan glanced at the anti-wolf spray in her hand, shook his head and smiled, "My name is Ethan Morgan, this lady, where are you going?" ”

The interior of the car was clean and tidy, and the heating from the air conditioning vent made her relax.

Looking at Ethan's handsome face again, her guard was lowered most of the time:

"Call me Fiona."

She said the address she was going to again, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"As I just said, it's my pleasure." Ethan stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards the place she said, the address was familiar, he had just been there half a month ago.

Twenty minutes later, the Dodge challenger leaned to the side of the road and came to a slow stop.

Next to the nightclub, there is a queue.

A giant colorful bat, shining in the night sky.

Thank you for the lazy brother reward, thank you
