After a few more moments, Ethan flicked his cigarette butt off, and the curtains of the house next to him shook.

Through the gap, you can see the people inside.

Fiona was nervously looking outside, waiting for Debbie to arrive.

After a while, Lip, Ian, and Carl also appeared on the corner of the street.

The place of substitution, not far from here.

If it's too far, it's easy to get an accident.

Ethan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and waited patiently.

Now it's up to Debbie, I hope she won't poke any baskets, that's the most important part.

"That's a bird, that's an airplane, that's — Superman."

In anticipation of everyone, Superman made his debut.

It's just that this Superman is a milk baby who can't speak, and Casey, led by Debbie, walked out of the alley next to him hand in hand.

Seeing the two of them appear, several people in the room, in the car, and on the corner of the street invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Casey !!"

Next to the front yard of Castton's house, a little girl inadvertently turned around, saw the scene, and let out a scream.

She turned around again and shouted at the crowd:

"It's Casey, he's back."

This shout struck the crowd like lightning, quieting them down instantly.

The next moment, a man and a woman pushed through the crowd and rushed forward quickly:

"Even, Kathy."

Mrs. Cashton took Casey, who was dressed in Superman's costume, into her arms, her fingers trembling and ruffling his hair.

"Where have you been, are you okay?"

Ethan, who was next to him, pushed open the car door and strode forward.

Not only him, but the people around him all surrounded him.

Seeing this scene, he was a little apologetic, but fortunately he didn't delay for long.

Otherwise, the sin would be great.

Gary Caston looked at Debbie and said in an excited voice, "Where did you find him?" ”

When the play came, Fiona walked quickly to Debbie's side and held her hand steadily.

"Hey, Fiona."

Debbie looked at her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's my sister." Fiona said sorry to Mr. and Mrs. Cashton with great apologies, and then looked at Debbie:

"Aren't you going out to play?"

"What's going on? Where did you find this little boy? ”

"Just a few streets ahead." Debbie stretched out her hand and pointed to the place where she had come and said a remote place:

"I saw him crouching alone behind the bushes just now."

"I don't know where he lives, so I'm going to take him home and give him something to eat."

Fiona hurriedly said to the Castons, "I live next to it. ”

The two waited for each other's questioning.

However, what awaited them was an unexpected reaction.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Gary Caston was so happy that he didn't ask anything more, but reached into his pocket: "I don't know how to thank you for this." ”

He took out his wallet and took out all the cash inside:

"All this money is for you."

Seeing that the two people on the opposite side didn't stretch out their hands, he threw the money over directly: "Take it, thank you very much." ”

He squatted down and hugged his wife and children in his arms.

Seeing this, the faces of the people around him also showed smiles.

The people reached into their pockets, and large and small denominations of cash were thrown at Debbie, and there was a rain of banknotes on the scene.

Fiona was overwhelmed and could only smile.

"Even-bought karma!"

Debbie had never seen so much money before, and she happily threw her hands up and staggered in place.

Well, this reaction is very acting.

However, Ethan can't confirm whether Debbie's reaction was acted, or if she was missing a root in her head and forgot that she was a kidnapper.

In any case, the first phase was successfully completed.

"Pratt."

Ethan pressed the intercom and contacted the police station directly: "The Amber alarm can be lifted, the child has been found." ”

"Repeat, the kid has been found."

"He got lost and was brought back by another kid, and I was there."

"Great."

Pratt's happy voice rang out: "I see. ”

Just when the people at the scene fell into joy, Frank ran out of the house next to Jackson.

"I knew it."

He smiled and spread his hands and taunted the patrolman next to him: "This is the child of the Gallagher family, she is a hero." ”

"And I, Frank Gallagher, you bunch of shit, can't do anything."

was ridiculed by him, and the patrol officer's face was not very good-looking.

But at this time, I didn't bother to bother with him.

Frank's eyes sparkled as he looked at the money that had fallen to the ground.

He pouted his buttocks, lay directly on the ground, and quickly picked up the money.

Footsteps rang out, and two men walked up to him, one of whom said in a deep voice, "Frank, that's Debbie's money." ”

Hearing that it was Lip's voice, Frank said nonchalantly:

"I know, I don't need to be reminded."

"I'm just going to pick it up for her, or the wind will blow it away."

"Whew~"

He stretched out his palm to pick up the money, and was firmly stepped on by a boot, Frank quickly raised his head: "Ian, what are you doing here?" ”

"Whew!"

He screamed again, and his other hand was trampled on by Lip.

Frank pouted, he knelt on the ground and grinned, "What are you guys doing here, it hurts." ”

"Really? How I don't think. ”

Lip secretly stepped up again, and stepped on it in relief.

"God, you two bastards."

Frank said excitedly, "For God's sake, I'm your father. ”

Noticing that the two of them were expressionless, he hurriedly looked to the side:

"Carl, come and help me."

"Nope."

Karl saw him like that, and walked sullenly to the other side.

Frank didn't come home for days, and Carl was angry with him and didn't want to help at all.

Seeing the small episode that happened next to him, the corners of Ethan's mouth turned up.

The matter was provoked by Frank, but afterwards he wanted to jump out and pick up the bargain.

Even if he suffers again, he deserves it.

"Hey, Debbie."

Tony walked over from the side, he took off his police hat and said with a smile, "You did a good job, I need to trouble you to go to the police station with me." ”

"We need to make a full confession about this."

Hearing his words, Fiona hurriedly looked at Ethan next to her.

Fortunately, I told her about the confession before, so her expression didn't look very flustered.

"Tony."

Ethan intervened: "Thank you, just let me come." ”

"Absolutely."

Tony looked at him and Fiona and walked away with a smile.

This kind of simple thing does not need to trouble the police detective, but the other party is an acquaintance, and it is normal to want to make a move.

After a while, the people at the scene dispersed.

The patrol car quickly left, the Amber alarm was lifted, and they had to do something else.

The people of the firing group have also been informed that they know that Ethan is at the scene and they don't bother to come over, which is just a piece of cake for the cases they usually handle.

After a few words with Lip, Ethan opened the door of the Ford Interceptor.

Seeing Debbie's tiny body climb into the car, Fiona showed a worried expression.

"Let's go."

Ethan patted the roof of the car and beckoned to her, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"Can I go with me too?"

Fiona pointed at herself, her mouth slightly open.

"Absolutely."

Ethan winked at her: "Just ask some questions, and Debbie will be able to explain what happened." ”

Seeing the police badge he hung on his waist, Fiona hurriedly opened the passenger door.
