468 Dinner

Owen and Brock chatted for a while before they found out that the class Amanda was in charge of happened to be the class Mandy was in. The two women, one senior and one junior, were quite destined, and Amanda was very popular with the children.

The relationship between the two quickly heated up.

Today, Brock happened to pick up Mandy from school, so he picked up Amanda too. Brock took them to go horse riding. Before leaving, he invited Owen, but Owen refused. Amanda must be very annoyed now.

He, he wouldn't get along with her, she was his sister, not his wife.

"Steve, what do you think of Brock?"

The mother standing behind suddenly asked, and Owen thought about it for a moment, "Not bad..."

"Then do you think it's okay if we invite their family to our house for dinner?"

The mother asked again. If she was in Los Angeles before, her mother would definitely have made the decision on her own. But after experiencing some things, she has become much more cautious now. If she invites strangers to her home, she will definitely ask McCaw first.

Er or Owen's opinion.

Owen thought for a while: "I think it's okay."

First of all, Brock's information seems to be fine, and Mandy is indeed his child. No one would bring his own child as a disguise, and Brock's attitude towards children is Owen's best.

I appreciate it. Irving thinks that such people are worth dating. Another point is that their family and Brock are both newly moved foreigners. They can take care of each other if they move closer. Although Irving feels that McCall is here, he will not take care of him.

Not important at all.

Seeing Owen nodding and McCall behind him not expressing any objection, his mother smiled: "Okay, I will personally invite him later."

Everyone returned to the house, and the laughter of Amanda and Mandy could be heard in the distance. Mandy was very satisfied with this surprise, and she also had new friends accompanying her.

The mother went to check what else was in the refrigerator. She had already begun to work on dinner. McCall was sitting on the sofa. Owen suddenly thought about the white mask. Avril was a CIA, and McCall was a CIA. Maybe he would know.

What.

"McCall, have you ever heard of the Four Horsemen?"

"The Four Horsemen? The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"

"You know the Four Horsemen?"

"Of course, it's recorded in the Bible..."

McCall looked confused, and Owen was speechless. It turned out that McCall was talking about the Bible, but he was not a religious person and really didn't know about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Seeing that the two had a disagreement, Owen told the story of the Four Knights in the White Mask, especially Avril's claim to be the Death Knight, and then looked at McCall.

McCall frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I don't know this Avril, and I have never heard of the Medusa Project. The White Mask organization has never appeared during my tenure. It should be a

As for the emerging organization, as for the Four Horsemen, I think they should also refer to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Bible. When you have time, you can read the book "Revelation". There are records about the Four Horsemen in it, which may help you understand.

You’re a bit of an inspiration…”

I didn't get exact information from McCall, only a suggestion. This was also what Irving expected. The most powerful thing about the White Mask is its confidentiality. If you ask anyone casually, you will know about the White Mask. Then the White Mask

It has long been eradicated.

About an hour later, Amanda and Mandy were stopped by their mother as they passed by their home.

"Mandy, I'm very grateful for the cookies you gave to our family yesterday. They were very delicious, so our family would like to invite you and your father to my house for dinner tonight. Are you willing?"

"Invite us? Have dinner? That's great. Thank you so much, Aunt Susan. Well, I mean I'd love to, but I have to go back and ask my father..."

"Of course, Mr. Brock is also one of the guests we invited. Amanda will go home with you later, and he will formally extend an invitation to your father on behalf of our family."

Amanda and Mandy returned home happily, and preparations had begun on their mother's side. No one would refuse this kind invitation for the first time.

Sure enough, later Amanda brought back the answer that Brock would bring Mandy to the dinner on time. In fact, there was no need to bother at all. It was just that the two people had just met and didn't even have each other's phone numbers.

In the evening, Brock took Mandy to the appointment on time. Brock was still wearing the same jeans and baseball cap, but Mandy had obviously dressed up and no longer looked like a tomboy.

Owen, as the host, took their gifts and welcomed them into the hall. For this dinner, because my mother was not sure whether the guests were used to it, she did not cook the Chinese food she was good at. Instead, she chose barbecue and salad, which are common in Americans.

food.

"Try this beef, you might like it. Oh, by the way, Brock, what did you do before?"

At the dinner table, my mother asked curiously.

"Fitness coach, I teach people free fighting..."

"Oh, no wonder you are so good at it. We saw you beating up those two guys at the gas station that day. They really deserved to be beaten..."

Probably because she drank a glass of red wine, my mother was in high spirits, and while talking, she made two gestures imitating Brock.

Brock shrugged and put a piece of steak into his mouth.

"What about you, McCall, what did you do before? I see you are always reading, I guess you are a teacher?"

After hearing Brock's words, several people at the table laughed.

McCall wiped his mouth with a napkin and put down his knife and fork.

"Teacher? Oh no no, haha, I used to be a taxi driver..."

McCall didn't lie. After retiring from CIA, he was confused for a while. He did drive a taxi for a period of time. To be precise, he should be a taxi driver.

Brock looked surprised: "Taxi driver? It doesn't look like that."

"Hahaha, indeed, I stopped doing that later, but I helped many people when I was driving a rental car..."

McCall said with some pride. Everyone thought he was talking about a taxi driver who had forgotten his wallet. Only Owen understood what kind of help he was talking about.

"What about you?"

Seeing Brock looking at him, Owen shrugged: "I'm a firefighter, but not here, I work in Washington..."

"Oh, firefighter, that's an amazing job. You must have saved many people..."

The person speaking this time was Mandy, who was obviously full of curiosity about the profession of firefighter.

Irving thought for a moment that he seemed to have saved a lot of people in the White House some time ago, and shrugged coolly: "Yes, indeed a lot."

"Here's to our firefighters!"

Amanda suddenly raised her glass. Of course her family knew what Owen was talking about as a firefighter. CTU's job was indeed very similar to that of a firefighter. Wherever there was danger, they would appear there.

The guests and hosts had a great time at a dinner. The two families had just met each other, so they didn't talk in depth. They just talked politely, and Owen pretended not to know his identity.

After dinner, Brock took Mandy to say goodbye and left. After dinner, the relationship between the two families became much better.
