The sudden knock on the door startled everyone

"Hurry up and open this damn door for me."

Veronica's scolding voice rang out, "I know you bastards are in there. ”

Hearing that it was her, Lip hurriedly ran over to open the door.

Veronica walked in menacingly, her mouth fluttering, "I really don't understand you Gallagher sometimes. ”

"Crazy? Ha? ”

"Didn't you hear the sirens outside, you lunatics."

Kevin walked in after him, carrying a laundry basket in his hand.

He put the plastic basket down and lifted the towel covering it, revealing Casey sitting inside: "Please, don't tell me, this is the missing child!! ”

"God, what the hell are you thinking?"

"Didn't you just tell her?" Ethan looked at Fiona.

"There's no time." Fiona hurriedly walked towards Veronica: "This was stolen by Debbie, and we are trying to find a way to return it back." ”

"I'm sorry, I have to keep Debbie out of the risk of going to a juvenile detention center."

"And, Lip, Ian, Carl and Liam, you know what they're going to face."

"You people, this is crazy."

Kevin put down the laundry basket in his hand and said excitedly:

"There are at least dozens of police officers nearby, and if one or two come to the door, it's a big problem."

"Hey, Ethan." Only then did he realize that there was a non-Gallagher sitting at the table:

"Why are you here?"

Kevin looked even more surprised when he saw what was in his hand: "Why do you have a police radio next to you?" ”

"Isn't it cool because he's a strip?" Carl said happily.

"Waterfa?"

Kevin and Veronica exclaimed in unison, and Kevin hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say you worked in Chicago?" ”

"Isn't a police officer?"

Ethan shrugged, then rubbed Carl's head: "Remember, it's not a strip, it's a policeman." ”

"I'm still a police detective, the best mom to mess with Fack."

"You should have seen those thugs on the street, right?"

"Yes."

Carl nodded hurriedly: "Those people are very powerful." ”

"No, no, no." Ethan smiled and flicked his head: "Those bastards, when they see me, they are about to run away immediately, who do you say is more powerful?" ”

This simple logic made Carl break his fingers.

He did the math, nodded heavily, and said:

"You're amazing!"

On the other hand, Veronica survived the initial shock and focused on what was most important right now.

"Then why?"

She looked at Fiona and pointed straight at Ethan, "Wouldn't it be okay to give the child directly to him?" ”

"Smack!"

Before Fiona could speak, she slapped her forehead again, "I forgot, damn Gallagher." ”

"But why would Debbie do that?"

"Ugh."

Fiona interrupted and looked at the living room next to her.

Debbie and Casey were left behind, and the rest of the group went to the other side.

"I'm sorry." Fiona sat down on the couch tiredly, rubbed her temples and said, "I don't know what's going on with Debbie." ”

"Maybe it's because your mom ran away from home."

Kevin walked over to the window, glanced outside, and then continued, "And your dad is an alcoholic. ”

"To be honest, I'm not surprised."

"Hey." Veronica glared at Kevin, "Shut up. ”

"Why?"

Kevin waved his hands and whispered, "Do you think I'm a bastard, I didn't steal children." ”

“OK！” Ethan stepped up to take control: "Everyone is calm and focused. ”

"Now, let's talk about how to get Casey back."

"Do you have a map?"

He looked at Lip, whose hair was curled, "We have to choose a route that doesn't arouse suspicion and makes sense." ”

"Yes." Lip hurriedly pulled open the drawer under the table.

According to Fiona, Lip is the brightest person in the Gallagher family, and he is also very familiar with his surroundings.

The two began to discuss things, and Ethan turned the walkie-talkie to the public frequency, which rang out from time to time about the internal communication of the police station.

Based on the current information and the surrounding environment, they quickly formulated a plan.

Veronica and Carl, running a little farther away, use the payphone to call the hotline number about the case, falsely reporting the location, and muddying the view.

The few remaining people, Kevin, returned to the bar and spread the word.

Ian also dials 911 from a public phone, but the locations they both report are the routes they have chosen now.

It's remote enough to attract anyone's attention.

Lip takes Debbie and Liam to the designated location first, and Fiona takes Casey.

After the two gangs meet at the designated location, Fiona takes Liam to Jackson's house to create an alibi.

And Jackson's house is next to the crime scene.

This also makes it easier for Fiona to follow up and fill in the gaps.

As for Debbie, she can only take Casey back to the scene of the crime alone and return the child.

For this, Ethan and Lip also make up a story.

They called Debbie over and told her to memorize every sentence to prevent accidents.

"You don't have to worry."

Ethan looked at Debbie and said patiently: "These words, it is only possible to use them, but you must memorize them." ”

"I'll show up then, so you don't have to be afraid, okay?"

"Hmm."

Debbie nodded hurriedly.

The others were also relieved to hear Ethan's words.

With someone of her own, the situation must be completely different, Debbie is just a little girl, and if she is questioned by other police officers all the time, it is easy to have an unexpected situation.

"That's right." Speaking of the Jackson family just now, it aroused Ethan's question:

"When I was investigating the situation in the morning, I met Frank at this Eddie Jackson house, what happened?"

"What else could it be." Fiona shook her head and said:

"Can you believe it? He found his home there. ”

It turns out that the last time Frank was beaten and his nose bleed, it was Eddie Jackson who did it.

The reason was that Ian put his own Dick in the mouth of the white chick Karen Jackson before, and Eddie found it red-handed.

Unable to find Ian, Eddie had to take out his anger on Frank and lash out at Karen.

Later, Frank learns that Eddie's wife, Sheila, has separated from him because of this incident.

They don't know what's going on, but Eddie's backyard fires and Frank takes advantage of it, and he lives a free life at Jackson's house.

It's good to eat and live there, and there's nothing to worry about.

Since then, Frank has rarely even returned home.

Ethan scratched his head and looked at Ian, who, in his sense, was supposed to be a.

How could he do such a thing, could he have guessed wrong?

Ian noticed his gaze and writhed unnaturally.

"Alright, that's it!" There's nothing more to say now, Ethan clapped his hands: "Do you have any questions?" ”

"I have." Little Carl scratched his head and said:

"The place Lip asked me to go to, it was too far away, I didn't have a bike."

"Ahem!"

Ian coughed, "There's a wire cutter in the upstairs drawer. ”

"Then I'm fine." Carl laughed at the thought that he would soon be able to own a bike.

Ethan pretended not to hear the conversation, and he walked up to Debbie:

"It's not for you, it's for your family."

"You can do it, you know?"

"Understood."

Debbie nodded silently: "I know what to do." ”
