Trafford’s Trading Club

“Hailey, where are you going? Is the dressing room this way?” Brother Security pointed in the direction next to him.

Until then, 'Hailey' seemed to be walking in the right direction.

Arnold sniffed, unconsciously helped his glasses —— but when he made the move, he realized that his glasses had been taken away by Caroline, and he immediately gave him a sniffle to touch his nose and said, “I know, I'm just going to go to the bathroom. ”

Brother Security shrugged: “There's a bathroom in the dressing room. ”

“Ha... yeah, yeah, it's in there, huh.” Arnold nodded.

“Hailey!” Unexpectedly, the security guard suddenly stared at Arnold, his eyes didn't blink, and he walked up, “Could it be you...”

“I... what's wrong with me?” Arnold slipped over.

“Could it be you...” Brother Security was about to come up on his body, letting Arnold subconsciously back off, and finally leaning directly against the wall. Brother Security was so cold: “You don't want to steal the bar now! ”

“Stealing?” Arnold snapped.

At this time, the security guard looked around and lowered his voice: “I told you, the supervisor found a lot of good wine missing, didn't know who snitched, said that someone had taken the liquor here to sell money... Dude, I haven't done this in a long time, you only came back, don't die! ”

“Oh... oh, okay, thank you.” Arnold nodded.

Brother Security laughed this time and said, "Well, go inside and get your things and greet your lady boss... by the way, Hailey, don't you look a little different? ”

“Did you?” Arnold rushed in and left the guard a shadow on his back: “Maybe his hair grew a little bit, I haven't had a haircut lately. ”

“Really?” Brother Security shrugged and didn't care.

He quickly unlocked the lock on his locker in the dressing room for 'Hailey' and probed over, seemingly curious as to what was inside. Only Arnold covered the door of the cabinet and looked at the security guard.

Brother Security whistled away, “I'll wait outside, hurry up! ”

Arnold nodded his head, so he looked at the inside of this cabinet with a flashlight. He saw that there was also a black bag in this cabinet, and he directly put everything inside, regardless of size, into the bag. Finally, he checked and found that there was nothing missing...

Shortly afterwards, Arnault went out, and Brother Security was smoking outside, and when he saw 'Hailey' come out, he jokingly walked him out of the Qatar Club.

Caroline seemed to have waited a little impatiently, and her face didn't look so good and walked up, watching the security guard brother's disaster for a while.

“Brother, ask for blessings.” Brother Security patted him on the shoulder and went back to the booth with the flashlight.

When Arnold saw Carolyn walking up to him, he patted the bag on his hand, indicating that he had taken something, and Carolyn nodded and seemed relieved.

Arnold suddenly said, "Oscar owes you a golden man! ”

Caroline glanced at Arnold and grabbed the bag directly from Arnold's hand before lowering her voice: "Let's get out of here. ”

Arnold nodded, and the two of them quickly left while the street lights around them were not lit, intending to check the contents of this bag in this safe place.

Shortly after the unexpected departure, several men in costly short-sleeve shirts appeared in front of the two. Several men directly blocked their way.

Did you run into a robber? Caroline's first thought was this —— she just quickly denied the past. Because locals are rarely robbed.

Generally foreigners, or tourists, are more likely to be robbed.

“What do you want to do?” Caroline is also a grey earner, after all, and at least she doesn't panic completely.

And one of the men grinned, "How dare you show up, Hailey? Get 'em! ”

The man waved his hand suddenly, and several big men cheated on him at the same time, but three or two times, he directly controlled Arnold and Caroline, unable to struggle.

“What do you want to do! Let go of me! Let go of me!!” Caroline tried to bite at the person who caught her, but soon she was put in a bag over her head and upper body.

She could only hear screams, the sound of Arnold screaming - he seemed to be being beaten by the men.

Ah--!! Ah--!!

“I'm not Hayley... ah--! I'm not really...”

“Bastard! Eat our stuff, think we can't take it if we don't show up! ”

“Take it away! Take it back. I'll greet this guy again and make him spit it out for me! ”

Caroline grew more frightened, she couldn't see anything but feel herself being pulled around and finally seemed to get into a car, and then someone came in and covered her nose with a towel.

She smelled an almond and then passed out.

……

……

Psst... Psst!

On-board radios can only make current-like noises, regardless of which channel they are switched to. Ofey shook his head and turned off the car stereo directly.

The traffic condition on the road was very bad - the power outage made the red street lights on the main road no longer work, and now we can only rely on traffic police to temporarily carry out manual command, which is strange if the road condition is good.

The car parked on the road, and Ofey sipped from picking up mineral water and tossed it randomly into the co-driver's seat - the bottle smashed something.

It's a work card with Ofey's profile photo on it, already ID 'd —— he's the country's chief of security.

After several persuasions from the secretary, Ofey eventually stopped the job at hand and decided to go home and take a break, take a shower and change clothes or something.

But he felt that his time would have to be wasted on this congested road.

At this point, Ofey's phone suddenly rang - because he had been at the control center of the Security Department, the strange pulse in the storm outside did not affect his phone.

“Hello, I'm Ofey.” Ofey starts Bluetooth: “Barra, what's up? ”

The caller was Barbara, a maid hired by him.

I just heard Balla say, "Oh! Oh, my God, Mr. Ofey, I finally got through to you. Looks like the comms are back on. I've been looking for you! ”

“Supposedly some areas are starting to recover and I happen to be in the service area.” Ofey whispered, "Come on, what's up? ”

“Sir, the school was closed, and I picked Lewis up from the school dorm and just put him to sleep.” Barbara is very diligent: “Sir, you haven't been home in days, I just wanted to ask you, are you coming back tonight? If I don't come back, I won't be off work yet. ”

“Oh... I'm sorry, Barb, I'm too busy.” Ofey pinched his eyebrows: “Well, I should probably be home soon, so when I get back, you should get off work. ”

“Sir, do I have to prepare dinner for you? ”

“No, I'm not hungry. You pack up and you can leave when I get back.” Ofey said something randomly and then asked about Lewis.

Children are sent to full-time schools, where they usually stay and only go home on vacation. It is certainly not a holiday, but it is normal to suspend classes if the school goes out of power.

“Lewis is a good boy, he's not making a scene, he just wants you back early.” Balla sighed: “Sir, you know, Lewis is too small, you're so busy, Dr. Frankie doesn't come back often, and Lewis gets lonely. ”

“Thank you, Barbara.” Offi seemed reluctant to talk about it more, "he said hastily.“ I'm driving. Let's not talk about it. Wait for me to come back. ”

……

“Well, I'm going home first, and I want to go back. ”

In front of the apartment, Barra, almost forty years old, nodded at Ofey and rode her bike away. After Aufim sent her away, he beat up a debt and went back to his house.

I went upstairs and came to my son Lewis's room. Ofey quietly entered Lewis' room and didn't turn on the lights, but came to the front of the bed through the lights in the hallway.

He bowed his head and kissed his sleeping son's forehead, then put his arm in the quilt, but touched what was in it.

Ofey took a look, it was a photo frame.

Ofei was a little complicated and sighed in the end, putting the frame on the nightstand before closing the door again and walking downstairs - the residential area here has been restored to electricity.

Ofey took the bubbling water out of the refrigerator, mumbled and drank most of it, and he was going to take a bath, but at this point he heard movement - who opened the door to the house?

He frowned in the living room.

I saw a grumpy figure walking in... holding a bottle of half a bottle of wine in my hand, and then the whole person sat directly on the doorstep changing shoes, looking drunk.

This man is Dr. Frankie, of course.

“How did you get back?” Ofey walked up to Dr. Frankie, but seemed to have no intention of lifting him up and stood there.

Dr. Frankie heard voices and raised his head, his eyes half-opened and seemingly blurred. Dr. Frankie hit a hiccup, “Ofey... oh... you're back...”

Dr. Frankie held onto the wall and stood up hard, but he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground. Ofey frowned, reached out and stopped, then dragged him straight to the sofa in the living room.

He pushed Dr. Frankie straight onto the couch, "Look at you! The school's closed. Barbara's got Louis back! So hurry up and get rid of your booze, I don't want Lewis to think his grandfather is a drunk! ”

For a moment, Dr. Frankie seemed stiff, but soon he turned his back and closed his eyes directly on the couch and fell asleep.

Orpheus bit his teeth, seemed to have an anonymous fire, but could not vent. He walked around in the living room, walking fast, and finally he rubbed his face with his hands and sat down again.

A single sofa and a long sofa are just one arm apart, so he measures Dr. Frankie's booze. He knew the old man wasn't really asleep.

“The day before yesterday, you met Billy at the theater, for what?” Ofey frowned and asked.

Though he had some speculation in his mind, he wanted to hear from Dr. Frankie himself. But the doctor was still quiet and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Ofey wiped another face, "Actually, if you don't tell me, I can guess a little. Now this government is not going to spend any more money to support your project, at least not in recent years. Billy, is he trying to fund you? Well, if we can really launch a satellite of our own, it does have a huge impact on the future situation. ”

The doctor sent a snoring sound.

Ofey grinned, “Well, look at you now. Probably eating a closed-door spoon from Billy, huh? Now that the Senator is dead, the factions have to re-wash their cards. There's also the theater case, and it's a really good opportunity for those guys in the wild to focus on this year's leadership. You die, and with this opportunity, Billy won't put a lot of money into you for the time being. Don't look at how patriotic those politicians are and stick their cold asses up! ”

Doctor snoring sounds a little heavier.

Ofey sighed heavily and the whole person leaned against the back of the couch, looking at the ceiling, silenced for a long time before slowly saying, “I know, that's your dream. But... but after all, we are just human beings, and there are certain things that cannot be done, so give up. Let yourself go, let others go. That would not have happened... had it not been for your willingness to conduct the launch test alone. ”

The snoring slowed down.

“Whenever Lewis asked me where Mom was going, I didn't tell him the truth...” Ofey looked at Dr. Frankie's back and said bitterly: “What can I tell him? Saying that his mother, your student, my wife, because of his grandfather's arbitrariness and stubbornness, strongly demanded the launching of unstable rockets without all the safety data yet, eventually caused the whole...”

“Forget it!” Ofey stood up suddenly, "you slept in your dreams, don't wake up... I've gotten used to it all these years anyway. But I beg you, what you study is your business, but you better not get involved in this vortex of power. You're old enough to retire any time you want. ”

“I'm going to take a shower and I'm going back later. With so much going on lately, the president gave a death order…” Offi heads upstairs, "the school is on vacation for two days, and Louis is home, if you have time, stay with him. If I don't have time, I'll have Balla come early, so... good night. ”

The footsteps upstairs gradually went away and the living room just left a wall lamp.

He's like that street lodger, curling up on the couch.

Suddenly, the Doctor pulled the cushion out and covered his head, making the world completely dark.
