Owen was driving down the street with the food he had just purchased from the supermarket in his car.
Police cars can be seen appearing nearby about every ten minutes. The police stations in San Francisco have significantly increased the frequency of police patrols. Looking at the terrible situation, Owen wondered whether he should go abroad with Monica.
Stay for a while.
Behind the car, a police car suddenly approached with its siren on. Owen looked at the flashing police lights behind him, cursed under his breath, slowed down obediently, and pulled over.
Irving did not get out of the car rashly, as that could easily cause misunderstandings.
In the rearview mirror, two policemen got out of the police car behind them, one on the left and one on the right. The policeman in the driver's seat slowly approached with his hand on the holster on his waist. The policeman in the passenger seat was even more exaggerated, holding an M4A1 on his shoulder.
The other side surrounded Irving's car.
Although the pistol policeman had not yet pulled out his gun, he looked alert. The other rifle policeman even directly picked up the M4A1 and took aim.
To be honest, Owen didn't like this very much. It felt bad to be pointed at a gun, but he had to endure it because the police had the right to do so, and he had been a policeman before.
The policeman with a pistol slapped the car's taillight and shouted: "Put your hands where I can see..."
Owen's hands were always on the steering wheel, he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
And he knew that the photo taken by the police just now was not in vain, because many criminal suspects would panic and hide the contraband in the car when they encountered such a surprise inspection by the police, so the American police habitually did this
The purpose of the action is to get them to stop hiding illegal items. This is somewhat similar to the police siren, reminding criminal suspects to stop committing crimes.
Of course, there is another reason. The police deliberately leave fingerprints on the car's taillight cover to prove that they have been in contact with that car, in order to prevent the unfortunate encounter of a particularly vicious criminal who kills the police and then tries to escape. If it is true
When something like this happens, the fingerprints left by the police are the most direct evidence.
Irving remained silent without saying a word. The policeman had already walked to the driver's seat. The rifle policeman on the other side looked through the car window to see if there was anyone in the passenger seat and the back seat.
"Please show me your driver's license..."
The policeman wearing sunglasses seemed to have no emotion at all when he spoke. Irving slowly raised his right hand to indicate that he was going to take out his driver's license. Slowly enough for the police to see his every move, and then he took out his driver's license. The police looked at it.
He glanced at the driver's license, then took the walkie-talkie to verify it with the main station, and finally gave it back to Irving.
"Okay, you can go."
The police officers returned to their cars and left. This was just a normal routine inspection, except that the police officers came with automatic weapons, which looked very serious.
In the United States, driving
After returning home, Owen put the food he bought on the table. Monica came over to give him a kiss, then found a piece of bread and tore open the package. Owen hesitated and asked tentatively: "Dear,
What do you think about us going abroad to have a baby?"
Monica, who was eating bread, looked up at Owen strangely when she heard this: "Why?"
Owen told Monica what had just happened, "I think the situation in the United States is not very good recently. When the President of the United States is assassinated, the stock market will definitely react. The stock market will plummet, which will cause social unrest. In addition, foreign countries will
The hostile forces, maybe Al Qaeda, and the Chechens will take the opportunity to do something. I always feel that this is just the beginning..."
All in all, Irving is very pessimistic.
"Okay, you make the decision, I will listen to you..."
McCall has bought a ranch in Australia, but the ranches are far away from the city. It is obviously not a good idea to give birth there. Owen is thinking about other possible cities.
He doesn't want to go to big cities. It's probably an occupational disease. The larger the city, such as the capital, the economic center, and the densely populated and economically developed places, the more likely it is that terrorist attacks will break out.
But leaving these places, the medical level cannot keep up, it is really a dilemma.
…
In the next few days, as Irving predicted, the situation quickly deteriorated, but Washington had obviously anticipated this and made some arrangements in advance, so everything was still under control.
But public opinion is very strange. Although many people are still speculating, there is a voice that seems to have been directing the matter to Jonathan Affleck, guiding public opinion overtly and covertly, and that David Palmer's death is related to the election campaign.
This is actually a very weak argument, but many people believe it. How many idiots would choose to physically eliminate their opponents during the general election, even when David Palmer broke a huge scandal.
As a member of his father's campaign team, Benjamin even had some doubts about whether David Palmer had faked his death. Being assassinated was a magical tool to attract votes, and Palmer had used this trick when the White House was occupied by terrorists. However,
It's impossible to think about it. The White House press secretary has announced that if he still fakes his death under such circumstances, even if he really comes back to life, he may not have a chance to be president.
Unlike the ignorant people, high-level officials in the country have their own speculations about the cause of Palmer's death. They generally believe that Palmer's death is related to his impeachment investigation.
Bypassing Congress and secretly selling arms to terrorist organizations is not something that the president can do alone. There must be many big forces behind it, and there may be shadows of the military.
But now that the matter has been revealed, if the investigation continues, there is no guarantee that more people will not be implicated. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, it is the best situation for the investigation to end with David Palmer.
…
night, bar
Irving and George, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, were sitting at the bar having a drink.
"I don't know what's going on in this damn world?"
After retiring, Father George took some time off, but he became increasingly cynical, like an old bull, with an increasingly hot temper.
"I heard some time ago that you encountered a gun battle between the police and drug dealers on the road. Others were afraid to avoid it, but you joined the battle group with a gun, helped the police fight against the drug dealers, and even saved a policeman's life...
"
"The person I saved was a rookie who just joined the job in the East District. Without me, he would be dead..."
"Okay, okay, so what's the point of beating up the gangster?"
"That was his bad luck. I was not in a good mood that day, but I saw him teasing a little girl on the street. I went up and beat up the little bastard without saying a word..."
"Hahaha, an old man in his sixties beat a young man in his twenties until he was beaten all over the floor..."
"Yeah, even though the old crime squad has retired, he can't be compared to just a random gangster on the roadside..."
Father George laughed loudly, and Owen curled his lips speechlessly. Could it be a superhero dream in his later years?
