Hearing his wife's voice, Grant breathed a sigh of relief, his facial expression eased slightly, and his voice was soft, "It's me, Grant."
"Oh, God, you finally called." Adele shouted happily.
It is generally difficult for U.S. troops stationed abroad to communicate with their families. First of all, it is impossible for ordinary communication tools to continue to cross oceans, and the environment in North Africa cannot support it. It is like Grant still using power for personal gain and using satellite phones, but if this is not found out , he also has good fruit.
"Nothing happened at home, Jenny?"
Adele listened to her husband's nervous questioning, moved her body with a smile, and put the Barbie doll on the sofa on the coffee table, "Of course it's okay, dear, today is a school day, of course Jenny is at school , but school is almost over."
"mother!"
Grant heard a childish voice on the other end of the phone, and quickly asked, "Is Jenny back?"
Adele went to open the door with her mobile phone in her arms, and saw her daughter carrying a bear schoolbag and a lollipop in her mouth. She turned around and said, "Goodbye, uncle."
Adele poked her head out in doubt, and saw a man driving a Land Rover off-road vehicle poking his head out, wearing glasses, waving his hand at Jenny, with a smile on his face, the gas pedal slammed, Just go away in Adele's eyes.
"Jenny, do you know him?"
"Well, his name is Felix. He is fine. He came to pick me up from school today and gave me a lollipop." Jenny said, the corners of her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she seemed to show off as she took the candy from her mouth Take it out and show it to her, "Uncle also asked me if Daddy had gone out, and he also said that he and Daddy are friends, um, good friends."
This little kid is so cute.
But Adele's heart tightened. She thought of her husband suddenly calling her for no reason, and she was still very nervous. Did she think of something?
She hurriedly dragged Jenny in, locked the door, tilted her head to clamp the mobile phone, and reached out to help her daughter take off the schoolbag while talking, "Honey, do you have a friend named Felix?"
"No! I don't know him at all." Grant frowned and shook his head firmly.
"what?"
Adele was suddenly surprised, and Grant immediately tensed up, "What's wrong?"
"There is a gift box in Jenny's schoolbag." She opened it as she spoke, and before the latter could stop her, she heard her wife exclaim, "omg! tiffany? The diamond ring, my dear, is that a gift from you?" !"
Tiffany?
"There's still a piece of paper under here." Adele put down the diamond ring suspiciously, spread out the paper, and read from it: "to find you (found you)."
Grant's mind shook.
Felix looked at the red light in front of him, stepped on the brake lightly, took out the pager and edited a series of text messages: "done (fixed After sending, he threw the machine on the back seat, turned on the music, and played He was just listening to the soothing rhythm music comfortably when he heard a burst of chaotic and passionate voices breaking through his eardrums.
He turned his head and saw four or five young men and women sitting in a red convertible sports car, dressed in hip-hop styles, with bull rings on their ears, and sunglasses. There were flowers and plants tattooed on the tattoos. The girl is domineering, with a tattoo on her arm: somebodyrapeme! (translated by herself).
This is a bunch of rich rich second generation.
Felix has seen a lot of lawyers, drag racing, fans, xa parties, etc. You can almost find their files in the local police station. This is a bunch of idlers... trash, he just glanced at it eyes, and then closed the window, but this action seemed to cause a burst of ridicule from the other party, unscrupulous, and some even raised their middle fingers.
You can't know what they are thinking from their minds. Putting up the **** means that you are awesome?
When the red light gradually turned green, but it was still two or three seconds away, the sports car next to it began to charge, booming, making the eardrums uncomfortable, and as soon as the green light changed, it rushed out at a very fast speed, the young man The men and women screamed and laughed. Felix was calmly preparing to start when he heard a sudden sound of brakes, followed by a violent crash. He looked up in shock and saw a tragic car accident. !
The red sports car crashed into the bottom of a large truck, and the person sitting in the car fell to the ground long ago. At this speed... it is directly hitting the iron sheet with people, it must be hopeless.
Pedestrians nearby exclaimed, omg, God's voice kept ringing.
Instead, Felix thinks that there is a sentence that sums it up, "When you put on too much, you are destined to become a fool."
It deserves it.
He drove a Land Rover, staggering away from the scene like a classic car.
Grant hung up the phone with a dark face, clenched his fists tightly, and a few white hairs stood up on his forehead. He was really angry. Someone missed his family. For Grant in the first place, it is unforgivable.
Just when his liver was trembling with anger, and he was about to dig out this guy, the landline phone on the other side rang.
"Hey, who is it?" Grant took a deep breath, but when the other party spoke, the anger that had suppressed him burst out again.
"Lieutenant Colonel Grant, the diamond ring I gave your wife, does she like it?"
"Nicholas! It really is you!"
Pulsatilla's anger was soaring, he slammed his fist down on the table, and roared, the sound was so loud that the U.S. troops walking outside shrank their heads in fear, and hurried away.
"Don't be angry, it was just a gift from me, that Tiffany was $30,000, didn't your wife always like it? Oh, by the way, your daughter likes teddy bears, and her birthday is coming up, I was thinking, Do you want to give her an oversized teddy bear, she will definitely like it." Tang Dao touched the "little pet" in the office, an African foldback tortoise sent by Aidid, the little guy retracted his head into the tortoise In the shell, no matter how hard he coaxed him, he couldn't come out His words sounded easy, but in Grant's view, the other party was completely audacious.
"Are you threatening me?" He gritted his teeth.
"Is this considered a threat? If you think it is, then you are right. Such a cute little girl, tsk tsk tsk, I am a little bit reluctant, but his father is too smart and too courageous, what? Dare to think about it." Tang Dao might be amused impatiently, picked up the folded back tortoise and threw it on the ground, this guy's shell is very hard, it's completely fine, but the sound made Grant's heart skip a beat, "You What exactly do you want to do?"
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I hate your tone, but I forgive you this time. Let me invite you to have a coffee. You come alone. When you arrive at the fifty-kilometer airport, you are not allowed to take anyone with you, and you are not allowed to call the police. I hope your wife's video will appear on the largest website in the United States, I'll wait for you, don't let me go." As soon as the words fell, Tang Dao hung up the phone.
"Fack!"
Grant listened to the busy tone inside, smashed the microphone on the table angrily, and cursed angrily.
And Tang Dao picked up the African folded back tortoise, patted it very gently, and said softly, "You have to be obedient, and those who are disobedient will suffer."
The tortoise seemed to understand the words of the people, and poked its head out.
"You **** can understand what I say, I hope people can understand it too."
