After returning from the FBI, Irving returned to his home in Los Angeles. Strictly speaking, their handling this time was somewhat improper. After all, in the later period, what they did was not just escape from danger, but actively seek revenge.
.
If the federal government really insists on this, Irving may really have some trouble. But no one will be stupid enough to do this. If they really do this, they will definitely be sprayed to death. After all, those mountainous areas
What people do is beyond the bottom line. They cannibalize more than a hundred people...
The federal government only wants to do one thing now, which is to calm the impact of this case as soon as possible, so they will deliberately downplay it.
Owen asked the FBI not to reveal his identity, and Jack agreed, but both knew that confidentiality could only be guaranteed for a period of time at best. The power of the American media was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For the sake of news, they could transform themselves into detectives.
They can become firefighters or even terrorists. They don't think about the consequences of doing so. They just want the news.
The FBI did not require Irving not to leave California at will, so after a day's rest, Irving went to the Mayo branch in Arizona, but this time he did not dare to drive and took a plane instead.
After arriving at Mayo, Irving had a brief exchange with the business person who made the appointment. Mayo's business staff took him to see the basic facilities here, and had a brief exchange with the doctor in charge.
Owen is very satisfied. It is good to have money. The facilities here are first-rate and the services are also first-rate. When you have problems, you no longer have to wait like in public hospitals. Capital society is like this. When you become a rich person, social resources will increase.
Leaning towards you, one person can enjoy the resources of a hundred ordinary people, and the experience will certainly be great.
Now that everything was satisfactory, Owen made an appointment here for services related to Monica's pregnancy. In the remaining months, a specialized doctor would call Monica regularly to record every stage of her body and give professional advice.
suggestion.
On the way back to California, Owen received a call from ASH and the others.
"Man, I just found out that the other male survivor is you..."
ASH's first sentence showed that she already knew everything, and then she rushed to the phone: "Hi, Owen, I have to say, everything you did is really in line with my taste, what do you think?
Come out and roast those guys..."
"NO, No, No, that wasn't what I did..."
Before Owen finished his explanation, Castle's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Man, this is Campbell. Your experience could be published in a book. Are you free recently? I want to hear you talk about the details of that day in person...
…”
There was a lot of excitement on the other side of the phone, and Irving knew that it would be impossible to keep things secret. There were too many people at the scene that day, including not only the FBI but also the Arizona State Police, so it was impossible to keep things safe and confidential.
ASH and the others were all from the FBI, and they knew Owen's identity just by asking around, but they didn't expect that the mysterious survivor would be someone they knew.
"Hey guys, believe me, the process is not as beautiful as you think..."
Owen shrugged helplessly. These guys just listened to this as a story and had no idea how terrifying the situation was at that time.
It took a while to calm these guys down, and Irving promised to hang out with them when he returned to Los Angeles.
It was already afternoon when he returned to Los Angeles. Irving had a bite outside and then went to the car market.
He had been driving the family car before, but after he went to Washington, the car was left with his mother. When his mother and the others moved, the car was driven to a new place. As a result, he had no car to use when he came back this time. He went there two days ago.
You will also need to rent a car when visiting Mayo.
Then there was the unlucky encounter with the Mountain Man incident. All four tires of the car were punctured. For this reason, Irving paid the car rental company a large amount of money. However, it is said that the rental company later sent the car to auction and was attacked by the Mountain Man.
The car I passed was said to have been sold for a good price.
When I came back this time, I was going to live in Los Angeles for a long time, so Irving bought another car for transportation.
Now that Irving is rich, of course he will no longer choose a car in the second-hand car market like before. This time he directly bought a brand-new BMW. The safety of the money he paid for the car is not a problem for him now.
By the time Owen drove his new car home, the lights had already started to turn on. All the street lights in Zilin Road Community were on. Owen parked the car in the open space in front of the house.
The lights were on in McCall's former house next door, and people were already living in it. McCall's house had been sold long ago. Owen glanced at the other party's lawn, which was neatly trimmed, and then looked at the lawn in front of his own house.
, it’s just average, it seems those Mexicans cut corners.
The Zilin Road community where Owen's home is located is a middle-class community. The environment of the community is very good, and the public security is also good. Every house has a neat lawn in front of the door. The most annoying thing for Owen in the past was mowing the lawn.
The United States is the country with the largest lawn coverage in the world, and lawn care has spawned a whole industrial chain. Taking care of the lawn is actually a very tedious and expensive matter. Watering is done three times a week, twenty dollars each time.
For five minutes, the water bill alone costs 60 to 80 US dollars per week. In addition, regular mowing, insect removal, and fertilization are required. Calculating, the annual cost of lawn is about 1,500 US dollars.
Moreover, those grasses are very delicate. If you water them less once or fertilize them once less, they will die immediately. These are all intentional by the seed companies. They specialize in producing such delicate seeds, and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are all specially targeted at them.
This kind of seed is designed to extract maximum profit.
And even if you want to change to other drought- and insect-resistant seeds, it won’t work. There are community regulations, and those service companies will make it clear that they only provide services for that type of lawn, so you can only pay.
Although the management of lawns does not fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government, many states have lawn management methods, and HOAs (community management associations) will also have requirements.
California law stipulates that lawns must be mowed regularly and the grass in the lawn cannot be taller than 4 inches, otherwise you will be fined.
In addition, the tidiness of the lawn directly affects the overall environment of the community, and the community environment is related to the housing prices of the community. Therefore, the HOA will also require community residents to mow the lawn regularly. Otherwise, the community can vote to ban some people who do not mow the lawn and affect the community environment.
of residents evicted from the community.
McCall sold his own house before leaving, but the Irving family's was not sold. They hired a Mexican who specialized in mowing lawns to clean it regularly, but it seemed that the Mexican was a bit confused.
Owen walked around the house, and the backyard was even more extreme. The Mexicans had taken care of the lawn in front of the house, but the lawn behind the house had not been taken care of at all. The weeds had grown to knee-high. Owen decided to have a chat with this guy tomorrow.
On the other hand, the backyard of the McCall family next door was a bit strange. When McCall was there, there was a lawn there, and some families would plant some flowers there, but this new family did not. Instead, they planted some vegetables.
Owen smiled. Nine times out of ten, the people who bought the McCall house were Chinese, because as far as he knew, only Chinese people liked to grow vegetables in their yards. This was already a national symbol, and many communities even stipulated that they were not allowed to grow vegetables.
Of course, the HOA of Zilin Road also stipulates vegetables, but only in front of the house. No one cares about what is planted behind the house.
