542 kidnappers
Now that Ethan already knew Fiona and Veronica, he must know what kind of person he is.
No one would say anything good about himself in front of him, and Frank had that confidence.
Since you can't continue to fool Ethan and reap the benefits from him, you can simply get the money back last time, which can be regarded as making up for the loss.
Looking at the palm firmly stretched out in front of him, the corners of Ethan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
I knew for a long time that he was shameless, but I didn't expect that he could be so shameless.
Inviting others to drink, after so long, can still confidently reach out and want to get the money back, it is also a talent.
Eddie, who was standing next to him, saw what happened and looked at Frank with a mockery.
"Hurry up and give the money."
Frank is thick-skinned enough to care about other people's eyes.
He hooked his outstretched palm a few times: "A total of two hundred and fifty-eight dollars, you can give two hundred and five, and the remaining eight dollars will be invited by me." ”
"Whoever let you and Kevin pit me, and still drink The Macallan, I can't afford to drink such expensive wine."
"It's still for the sake of old friends, otherwise I would have calculated the interest."
That straightforward look made Ethan gain insight.
He smiled and teased the corners of his shirt, his fingers tapping lightly on the handle of the gun, "Mr. Gallagher, are you sure?" ”
"Fake."
Frank danced excitedly: "You can't threaten me like that, I know I hate strips." ”
"Bang."
Ethan stepped back and closed the door.
Frank's yelling continued to sound inside, and he walked down the steps with a smile.
"Jingle bells."
The phone rang, and when I took it out, it turned out to be Fiona's call.
"Hey."
Ethan pressed answer: "Guess where I am?" ”
"Generous Shet, you won't come over too, will you?" On the other side of the phone, Fiona's nervous voice rang.
"That's smart."
Ethan silently gave her a thumbs up: "How did you guess?" ”
"You come to my house first." Fiona hurriedly said, "Come here, please, you're alone." ”
"Toot."
Looking at the hung up phone, he inexplicably stuffed the phone into his pocket.
Pressed the walkie-talkie and explained to Hank, before driving to Gallagher's house, which was only two streets away, and it didn't take a minute to arrive.
As soon as she stepped onto the porch, the door was opened by Fiona.
She looked nervously around, grabbed Ethan's hand, and walked briskly upstairs.
"Promise me, don't go crazy." Fiona hurriedly said, "I don't know what to do anymore, you come and help get an idea." ”
She dragged her into a small room on the second floor, where Debbie was standing in the corner of the room, her mouth pursed.
In the toy car next to it, there is a blonde child dressed in pink.
On the child's mouth, a large circle of lipstick is also painted with lipstick.
"Look."
Fiona clasped her hands in her trouser pockets and leaned helplessly against the wall.
At first, he didn't care, but Ethan quickly realized that Liam was a little black and the little white man in front of him was a little white.
Looking at the appearance, there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Waterfa?"
Ethan quickly took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
Except for the different clothes and a big red face, it is exactly the same as the missing Casey.
"It can't be what I want, right?"
Looking at Fiona, Ethan slapped his forehead.
"It's what you think, and I just found out." Fiona looked at Debbie angrily:
"Why would you steal a little boy home and put lipstick on him and dress him up like a little girl?"
"I don't want to." Debbie said aggrievedly:
"I was trying to steal a little girl, but I couldn't find it."
Fiona was speechless for a moment, and then asked excitedly:
"That's not the point, the point is why you're stealing a child back, you know it's a really bad thing?"
"I miss Jinji." Debbie said angrily:
"Who asked you to send Jin Ji away, I don't have any friends, I just want a friend."
"Even-bought karma!"
Fiona covered her head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Who's Gingi?" Ethan spread his hands.
Through Fiona's telling, he knew what had happened.
The cause of everything is still because of Frank.
Gingy is Frank's aunt and the original owner of the house.
She's been dead for years, but Frank has been risking Gingy's pension money.
Some time ago, the government department sent people to investigate, mainly to see if there was any fraudulent insurance money.
In order to prevent Frank from going to prison, the siblings were displaced several times, and Fiona was forced to have no choice but to bring back an old man in Veronica's part-time private nursing home, pretending to be Aunt Gingey.
Although the matter was successfully passed, Debbie was reluctant to let the old man go, and she had been sullen for the past few days.
Unexpectedly, she would make such a disaster.
"It's not right for you to do that."
Ethan crouched down and looked at Debbie, "Now I need to bring Casey back, what about the outfit he's wearing?" ”
"I just gave him orange juice."
Debbie reluctantly pointed to the cardboard box on the ground next to her: "The clothes are dirty, I have already taken them to wash." ”
Fiona ran downstairs as fast as she could, and soon came up with a superhuman suit.
"I'll take him back like this!" Looking at the shrunken clothes, Ethan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think he can wear it." ”
"Nope." Fiona hurriedly shook her head:
"When I see Casey change her outfit, others will definitely ask after her."
"Just say no?" Ethan's expression was relaxed: "Debbie didn't do anything to Casey again." ”
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"It's not that simple." Fiona flatly refused:
"When something like this happens, someone from the Department of Children and Family Services will come to the door."
"All of them except me were going to be sent to foster homes until Frank proved that he was capable of raising them, and I went through those things and didn't want to go through them again."
"Please, please, think of a way."
Orfina realized what was going to happen, tears welling up in her eyes.
When Debbie heard these words, she also knew that she had caused a big disaster, so she lowered her head and stood silently at the door.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two of them, Ethan scratched his head.
With Frank's ghostly appearance, trying to prove his ability to raise him feels more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Because of his own experience, to be honest, he doesn't have a crush on the Department of Children and Family Services, and he can't bear to see Ian and Carl in various foster homes.
"Let's go out and buy a new one."
After thinking about it for a moment, Ethan pointed to the shrunken Superman costume in Fiona's hand, and then looked at Debbie:
"Wait and think of an excuse to get Debbie to bring Casey back so we can avoid trouble."
"Good idea."
Fiona nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked outside.
"Hey."
Ethan quickly followed out of the room and grabbed Fiona:
"Honestly, do you have a safe place?"
"Someone you can trust to help keep an eye on Kathy, we're not here, and if Debbie takes the kids somewhere else, that's going to be a real problem."
Let him remind him, and Fiona reacts.
Not to mention Casey's lipstick, find a place to wash it off.
"Let's go, go to Veronica's house."
Fiona returned to the room and strode out with Casey in her arms: "My water heater at home is broken, just go over there and wash it." ”
"My water heater isn't broken."
Ethan poked her arm and smiled, "Why don't you come to my place and wash it at night." ”
"When is this all over?" Fiona freed up a hand and slapped him on the ass: "You're still thinking about this kind of thing. ”
Seeing through the window that there was no one outside, Fiona wrapped Casey in her coat.
After the two went out, they quickly walked to the side.
Veronica's house was next door, and Fiona had a spare key on her, so she walked briskly to the porch and opened it.
In less than a minute, he hurried out again.
"Let's go."
Fiona squeezed Ethan's hand tightly, her voice trembling a little.
