On the way back, Mark sat in Gary Sr.'s Ford Mustang, with two attendants following in a Cherokee. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Driving out of town, Gary took Highway 1.

"I remember when your dad and I drove from Berkeley to the beach when they had nothing to do, and the women at that time were really hot and sexy, not at all like now, what skinny beauties are in vogue now, is that still American?" said Gary.

"Spare me!" Mark compromised, "I don't want to hear you and Daddy have a ******** haha," Gary said cheerfully like a child when he first received a gift from Santa Claus on Christmas morning, "Honestly, I'm probably the only one alive in the last century......

When Gary came back from the east, he settled in Santa Cruz, selling hot dogs during the day and being romantic at night, not looking at his sixtieth year, but his charm did not diminish at all, and he still won the hearts of the women, and the little girlfriends changed one after another. Even when the gang encounters a big problem, he usually only gives a little advice, and it is rare that he has to go out of the mountain in person this time.

Mark knew that as the gang's former number one killer, Gary had his own options. He thinks he is not fit to have a family because he cannot have the leverage to be coerced. His father often mentioned that Gary would be a better father than himself. To be able to say this means that he also knows that he and the gang owe Gary a lot. Because of this, unlike several other gangs with real power, the relationship between the two is more pure and close.

"God knows, Timmy's taste for women changed all at once. Especially after meeting your mother, I was fascinated by her English temperament, you don't know, when I was with me, he talked about her in every word, her beauty, the tone of her speech, her elegant style, etc...... Chris used to teach me a Chinese called 'hero...... Beauty or something. ’”

"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. "Mark's pronunciation is obviously better than Gary's.

"By the way, Chris? She almost forgot about old Gary, and she came to see me every now and then, saying that she was hungry for hot dogs. ”

She ...... She's been busy lately. Mark can only make such an excuse.

Gary was a little helpless and said: "Also, everyone has their own life, even your father left us and moved to the United Kingdom!"

Old Gary slammed the steering wheel to the right, kicked the throttle, and the Mustang engine was powerful, and quickly shook off the car behind the ass.

For the next quarter of an hour, they did not speak again.

Mark sat quietly in the car, thinking about what Gary Sr. had told him about the mysterious killer.

After being stolen from the limelight by the "Valentine's Day Massacre", he staged bloody killings repeatedly, but he has not received the attention of the outside world, whether it is the police, gangsters, or ordinary people, they have begun to pay attention to the crime of gun violence, and what "a knife" can do is limited. Soon World War II began, and he gradually disappeared.

After the end of World War II, as a baby boomer, his father and Gary were born one after another. After a carefree childhood, unlike most young people who go with the flow, they are mature and goal-oriented, and they quickly find their way. Or to put it bluntly, the children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age.

By the 80s, the gangs had grown and dominated the entire western region. When it expanded to the central region, it constantly clashed interests with the old Italian mafia and Russian gangsters, and fire splices followed. It was also during this time that Gary confronted the Russian killer. Gary said that the mysterious killer had changed his original killing style at this time, no longer making the scene so bloody and exaggerated, but killing with a knife, which was very efficient. However, as a killer of knives, he always has his own unique technique, such as the depth and angle of the wound, the strength of the cut and the timing of the shot, etc. Even the elder Gary did not notice these details at the beginning of the investigation, the murder of 1929 and 1989 was by the hand of one person, such an unbelievable thing, no one could have imagined, Gary was pushing back against the timeline, and only then did he discover the connection in the incident step by step.

Now that it is the post-Internet era, Gary Sr. still does not use smartphones, computers, and the Internet. He knows that a lot of truths will not be stored on the Internet, and his old ways are still valid in the world of the underworld.

After crossing the San Francisco Bridge, near an exit on Highway 101 near the dock, there is a 24-hour American restaurant that is usually frequented by regular customers like port porters or long-distance truck drivers passing by.

Early this morning, a family of three with Asian faces came in for dinner, which is rare, because this is not a family restaurant, which attracts the attention of strong men who eat there. They chose the seats by the window, and the three of them looked different, the man looked anxious and nervous, the woman looked a little listless, but their child was excited, the girl had big blue eyes, fair skin, but black hair, obviously a mixed race, like a delicate doll. As soon as she sat down, she looked at the jukebox on the table, then asked her mother for a few "quarts", and after the coins were stuffed in, she pressed the R on the two rows of letter keys and the number key on the bottom row of number keys.

After a while, the sound of music came out slowly, and it turned out to be Elvis Presley's "my-wish-came-ture", and the customers present did not expect that the little girl knew how to be nostalgic and very tasteful. With the melodious music and Elvis's sexy voice, people are holding their own coffee and tasting their breakfast, and their mood has become much more comfortable.

Lucy walked out of the back kitchen, and the men's eyes focused on it. She is a black-haired Latino beauty, wearing a waiter's red dress, small white lapels, due to her plump breasts, her top is fully propped up, and the top two buttons can't be fastened and unfastened, which makes her look even deeper, making people can't take their eyes off. She placed the two plates full of food in her hand in front of the two customers sitting at the bar, and the moment she lowered her body, she could hear even the men swallowing and spitting, and the owner of the bar was dumbfounded.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of three new customers sitting in crimson leather chairs in front of the window and walked towards them.

There was an immediate sound of discussion behind him.

A customer asked, "When did Lucy become a man killer?

The boss shook his head and replied, "I didn't pay attention, she came back from shift today like this, which scared me!"

"I've heard that she's been saving up for breast augmentation and has always dreamed of having breast augmentation surgery!" another Latina chimed in.

"Boss, did she go for surgery while she was on vacation?"

The boss shrugged, no one knew about this kind of private matter, but it was a great thing, and it would make these people run to their restaurant every day to eat.

Lucy stopped at the table of the three, she had already taken out the brown plate for ordering from the big pocket on the right, and as she pulled the pen from her ear, she asked with a smile, "Good morning, you three! I haven't seen you before, the bacon pies here are a must, you must try them!"

The man didn't reply, just took the menu and looked at it, and it seemed that he hadn't decided what to eat for a long time.

The woman sitting across from him just smiled kindly at Lucy, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that the little girl next to the woman was very lively, Lucy tried to find a topic, "Little sister, you are so beautiful, what's your name?"

The little girl's attention seemed to be on the jukebox, and she didn't hear the question.

The woman hurriedly accosted and said, "Her name is Mina!"

"Mina! She pointed to the menu and said, "We don't have children's meals, and when you order a la carte, you can ask the chef to reduce the amount and charge half the price." ”

The previous track is almost over. The little girl threw in a few more coins and pressed G6 and said, "Clyde-McPhatter's Lover-Please," I ordered this song and gave it to my dearest mom and dad! ”

The little girl's voice was sweet and cute, and Lucy couldn't help but praise: "Little sweetheart, you are the cutest and sensible child I have ever met, order songs for your parents." ”

Before she could finish speaking, the little girl turned around, and the gaze she cast made Lucy's heart startled, and the light in her blue eyes made people feel very cold, and her arms aroused goosebumps. Although I don't know where I said the wrong thing, it seems that the little girl doesn't like her very much, which hurts Lucy a little, because she has a lot of younger siblings, and children have always liked her.

At this time, the man finally spoke, and he began to order, his voice was flat and indifferent, and he didn't seem to care at all about Lucy's smile and warm service. "Two fried meatloaf, scrambled eggs, one chicken cutlet, one fried egg, mashed potatoes, three cups of black coffee, thank you!"

After saying that, he pushed the menu to the side, his eyebrows locked, his hands on his chest, and he seemed unwilling to make more small talk.

Lucy quickly scribbled down the contents on the paper and asked, "Why don't you give Mina some dessert and drink?"

The man looked at the little girl, then shook his head, "No, and don't halve!"

Lucy reminded a little worriedly, "Children can't drink coffee!"

"My wife is a doctor, we know what to give the child to eat and drink, thank you, please hurry, we are in a hurry. ”

Lucy had to tear off the menu, walk back to the back kitchen window, repeat what they had just ordered, and then put the list on the rope in the back kitchen window. She pouted and thought: It seems that the tip at this table is in vain! However, this couple looks a little weird, and the child is not like theirs, should you discuss it with the boss and call the police?

While waiting for Lucy to bring the prepared meal to their table, she stared at the cups of coffee, and just as she wanted to say a few more words, the push bell on the door rang, and several guests came, they were porters at the docks, who had just finished their night shift. Lucy mechanically said good luck and went about taking care of them.

After she left, the woman put the coffee in the little girl's hand.

The boy glared at Lucy's back viciously, with a strong accent in English: "I hate these Yankees the most, the hypocritical fake kindness, the 'Fake-Nice' set, I feel disgusted when I see it, I really want to strangle her to death." ”

The man whispered, "You promised, we're just on the way!"

"Hmph!" said no more, and took a long sip of coffee, then began to pick up a fork and gobble down her breakfast.

The man looked at the woman opposite him, whom he called his wife, who was carefully eating a piece of scrambled egg with her head down, she looked a little haggard, and for some reason, he felt that she was not happy. As if noticing his gaze, the woman raised her head, and the two met their eyes, and the woman smiled at him slightly. The man was a little relieved, picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of fried pork steak, which he chewed slowly.

After a few bites, the woman suddenly put down the knife and fork, pushed away the plate, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom!"

The man frowned and asked, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I just don't have much appetite." ”

The little girl was about to raise her head, but Lucy came over with a coffee pot and asked, "Do you want coffee?"

The woman took the opportunity to stand up and asked, "May I ask the bathroom?"

Lucy immediately pointed in one direction, and the woman immediately walked in that direction.

The man made a gesture of please, and Lucy poured him some coffee.

Seeing that the little girl lowered her head and the atmosphere was as heavy as a boulder, Lucy learned wisely this time and did not have nothing to say.

Chen Hua sat on the toilet, she looked up and saw some handwriting written on the toilet door with a marker: phone number, cracked heart pattern, and what Jerry I love you, live for love and other words, it seems that girls will write these messages when they are bored in the toilet. She feels that she is relieving her hands more and more often, she is a doctor, she does not need a pregnancy test, and she also knows that the constant pressure on her bladder is a reaction in the early stages of pregnancy, but fortunately, her morning sickness reaction is not very strong. Because she hadn't decided whether to keep the child or not, she didn't tell Kentaro.

There was a creak, and the bathroom door was pushed open.

She raised her hand to pull out a few more pieces of toilet paper, and then she saw that there was also someone in the toilet next door, which had been empty just a minute ago.

She saw a pair of high heels.

Standing up and walking out of the bathroom, she quickly began to wash her hands.

There was the sound of high heels kicking again.

She looked up, taken aback. In the mirror, she saw the woman in red who had served them breakfast just now, and she remembered the name written on the other party's badge - Lucy, and she stood behind her, looking in a daze, as if sleepwalking.

Seeing that the other party was blocking himself, Chen Hua asked in a low voice, "You don't matter, right?"

Obviously, the other party didn't matter, her face was pale, as if she had lost consciousness. Chen Hua's occupational illness was committed, she walked over, felt Lucy's pulse, there was nothing wrong, and her breathing was very steady.

Suddenly, she saw something squirming under the woman's chest. The plump breasts seemed to deflat, and a vague shadow crawled out of the chest, followed by a green light.

A sweet voice whispered, "Don't be afraid, ma'am, I'm here to save you!" (To be continued.) )
