nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 19

Nelson, who had been working all day, was exhausted and limp in the newsstand, and said to his brother standing in front of the hot dog stand who was cleaning up, "Nilta, I think we really need to hire someone. If I am happy, then this month I have started to worry about whether I can live to spend the money I earned.”

Nierta said without looking back, "Then hire me. I'll accompany you when I finish helping Tao Xi. This may relieve your pressure."

Nilta didn't hear his brother's answer after saying this~
Nilta glanced back, Nelson didn't know when he was already snoring slightly, Nilta glanced at the sunset in the sky and smiled with satisfaction.

That's right, this $14000 business is giving the two brothers a salary comparable to that of white-collar workers at a rate of $110 per day. If the brothers are lucky, they may even receive some corporate orders from the American and Australian communities. Nilta knew that he didn't have any talent for business. The reason why the business was so good was his younger brother. His younger brother would often develop some hot dogs with new flavors to win customers to visit their shop~
Coupled with Tao Xi's reasons, the two brothers rarely encountered threats from the street!
If the two of them are lucky, they might be able to buy the newsstand in Wal-Mart Plaza in the American-Australian community next year, but they will need to persuade Tao Xi at that time, because this hot dog shop, the two brothers don't care whether Tao Xi wants it or not. No, Nilta felt that some money should be given to Tao Xi, and the old man Aaron fell down not long ago, and the newsstand hadn't been opened for a long time.

Just when Nilta began to fantasize about his better life in the future, a cough brought Nilta back to reality.

"Nilta, long time no see~"

Nilta was about to reject the other party, but found that the old man standing opposite was his old acquaintance! ! !
"Jeffrey?"

"Why are you not afraid of me when you get out of prison?" The old prison guard Jeffrey looked at Nilta's newsstand with a half-smile on his face, which made Nilta very nervous, because he opened the kiosk with Tao Xi's help. After that, I never dealt with those messy characters before.

The old prison guard, Jeffrey, was wearing a casual suit, walked around the entire newsstand with his hands on his waist, then patted Nilta on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, there is a good thing."

After saying this, the old prison guard Jeffrey took out a few dollar bills from his pocket~
Nilta looked at the few dollar bills Jeffrey put on the table and didn't reach out to take them, but kept staring at the old prison guard Jeffrey opposite him.

"Office lunch in Prison No. 86. We have an old man celebrating his birthday in the prison tomorrow. I, the sheriff, invite you to send us 50 hot dogs tomorrow. Is there any problem?"

Nilta immediately relaxed when he heard this nervous expression.

"Hahahaha, what do I think it is? This is easy to handle. Tell me the time, and I will definitely deliver it on time."

"Be a good person when you come out, don't think about going back, Bolton is also old, and he doesn't want to see things happen to people around him, if you mess around, don't blame me for making it difficult~"

The old prison guard Jeffrey said something meaningful and thoughtless, then turned and left.

Nilta looked at the hunched Jeffrey with a complicated face and smacked his lips for a while without speaking, but Jeffrey, who was sitting in the car, rubbed his cheek with a bored expression~
Because another person died in Prison No. 86 today!

It was a group of Mexican gangsters who had just been imprisoned, and the killer was a member of the blood gang, but Jeffrey recalled Bolton with a hideous face in his mind, and Jeffrey still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This kind of discomfort is not Feeling sorry for those dead Mexicans, but was threatened by an external instability.

With the increasing rise and constant conflict between the Cripple Gang and the Blood Gang in recent years, the unity of the Cripple Gang has made the Blood Gang organized by some small gangs gradually weaker. Maybe outsiders don't know why the Blood Gang is not in the same heart, but he This veteran policeman who has worked in the Los Angeles Police Department for ten years knows it all too well!
One of the bonds used to maintain American gangs is family gangs. For example, the famous mafia is composed of four major families. As long as their families can continuously generate money, their gangs will always exist. ; There is another kind of skin color, this kind of gang is very common in San Francisco, and in recent years the most outstanding one is the Huaqing Gang; the last one is the existence of the blood gang, the rise of the blood gang is very special, the blood gang The rise is due to the oppression and suppression of the lame gang, and the rise of the lame gang is due to the rise of the mafia and the Ku Klux Klan~
This series of reactions was called the "catfish effect" by Jeffrey in the 70s!
Bolton appeared precisely at this time, so Bolton's years in the blood gang were also called the golden six years of the blood gang.

Because in those six years, the Blood Gang gradually became one of the best gangs in California from an underground rap gang.

All of this is inseparable from Bolton~
With the death and arrest of the old faction of the blood gang in the early years, Bolton gradually became the spiritual leader of the new generation of the blood gang!

The Blood Gang has also gradually changed from a small gang with hundreds of members to a gang all over the United States. If there are too many people, there will be disputes. Bolton issued a series of commandments in order to allow the Blood Gang to continue to exist. At that time, Bolton believed that only people like Learning from the Mafia can make the gang last longer~
However, the blood gang, which is full of people and noisy, directly because of the existence of commandments, made the blood gang that was originally neat and united torn apart overnight!
Saying that Bolton is a sinner, Jeffrey doesn't think so.

Because the Blood Gang has long lost its original intention and turned into a gang famous for kidnapping and extortion.

The betrayal of one of his subordinates made Bolton a prisoner. The person responsible for arresting Bolton that time was Jeffrey. He was only 33 years old at the time, and he was at the peak of a man.

"If you want your family to live in peace, you can come to the prison to accompany me. This is my advice to you."

Jeffrey, who had just been promoted to the branch chief at the time, couldn't bear this anger. He not only arranged for Bolton to be in the dirty and messy No. 86 prison, but also asked the prison to "take care" of him.

But the constant threats and smashing of glass left his 4-year-old son at the time and his 27-year-old wife on the verge of collapse.

At the beginning, Jeffrey used his authority to provide protection to his family, but to provide protection to his family for a long time requires the branch to pay the police expenses, not to mention that he, a branch chief who just came to power, let him The leader of the last bureau talked to him three times because of this matter.

"If you don't stop this kind of behavior, you may be reported by your colleagues that you privately misuse taxpayers' money and go to court."

Jeffrey still remembers what his superiors said at that time. Jeffrey was forced to go to Prison No. 86.

"Actually, the Blood Gang is no longer the original Blood Gang. Those people joined the gang only to satisfy their own selfish desires. Now I am just an ordinary person in prison."

"If you want to be protected, you might as well come to prison and stay with me."

Seeing Bolton's frank smile, Jeffrey nodded. A branch chief was forced to be demoted to prison sergeant, and Bolton gradually became a "good friend" with him!
With the delay of time and Bolton's life in prison, Jeffrey gradually found that Bolton was not only respected by the blood gang, but even some blood gang members gradually surrounded Bolton~
Geoffrey, who felt that he had been deceived, was arraigned by Bolton that night and beat and scolded Bolton!
"It's just that I'm sitting in prison and facing a 30-year sentence. They need me to continue to be their leader. If one day the prison announces that my sentence will be reduced or I will be released from prison, the person waiting for me at the prison gate may not be my opponent." The muzzle of the gun is those guys from the Blood Gang who secretly hate me for not dying."

When Jeffrey heard Bolton's words, he was skeptical and borrowed his previous connections to announce that "Bolton performed well and his sentence was commuted by 12 years".

But as soon as the announcement was released, Bolton was assassinated by a group of blood gang members who had just entered the prison. That night was the most chaotic night in Prison 86, and it was also the night Jeffrey regretted the most, because the entire cell was red. , Bolton's face also left a scar from the brow bone to the mouth~
Since then, Jeffrey and Bolton have become friends who hate each other on the surface and talk about everything behind their backs.

Even a 12-year-old kid who jumped over the wall and robbed the prison was prevaricated by a group of wild cats stealing food at night, but until last night, Jeffrey felt as if he had been cheated again before! ! !
Because the entire Prison No. 86 has become the world of blood gangs! ! !

The Mexicans were transferred to Bolton's prison, and Geoffrey just thought he wanted to teach those Mexicans a lesson for his godson who was assassinated outside!

But Bolton blatantly tore up the treaty and prepared to kill those Mexicans. Although there were fights every day in Prison 86 and people died every month because of the fights, it was a private struggle!

Fortunately, he appeared in time, and those people didn't die. When Jeffrey hurriedly sent the Mexicans to the emergency room, and just when Jeffrey wanted to talk to Bolton, the Mexicans died!
That's right, he died under the diagnosis and treatment of the prison doctor. Although everything was in compliance with the requirements, Jeffrey, who was a policeman in the serious crime team, frowned unconsciously when he saw the medicine used by the doctor, because the dose was too high. big!
But the leaders of the Mexican Mafia who died in prison No. 86 that night were just the beginning. All the prisons where blood gang members existed and non-blood gang members had the deaths of Mexican mafia members~
Although some people came out to plead guilty afterwards, Jeffrey suddenly noticed the out-of-control of Prison 86 and Bolton's out-of-control! ! !
In anger, Jeffrey once again dragged Bolton into a confinement room without a camera like a few years ago~
It's just that he didn't punch again this time, and Bolton didn't reach out to cover it like he did a few years ago. Bolton just stared straight at him.

"you cheated me!"

"I don't, I won't leave Prison 86, I'm out of touch with the outside world."

Bolton's serious eyes made Jeffrey agree. Although he knew the existence of the drain, he felt that the existence of the drain could reduce some disputes in the prison.

Bolton also relied on the existence of the drain to reduce the death rate in Prison No. 86. Bolton also got a lot of newspapers from where, but Bolton had to ask him privately for many professional terms~
"Now the entire prison is yours! Including that damned doctor and those damned monitors, only I, the sheriff, don't know!!!"

"Prison 86 is going to be privatized!"

"Idiot! Don't use these news to influence me, I don't believe you!"

Bolton pushed Jeffrey's hands away, found a random place, sat in a corner of the prison, lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Times have changed! Jeffrey, even prisons can be privately owned now." If it’s melted, what’s wrong with it?”

"You may be transferred next month. I didn't treat you badly as an old friend. You will be transferred to the Southern Bureau as the deputy director. It's very good. What you lost back then is returned!"

Jeffrey heard Bolton's seriousness and took Bolton's half-smoked cigarette and asked, "Are you continuing to develop your power outside?"

"Power? No, no, no, it's faith, and I can't go back to Compton anymore." A wry smile appeared on Bolton's face when he said this, but soon Bolton went on to say: "You have a family , I have friends, we used to live for ourselves all the time, it's time to give back to others, go home and see your children and wife if you have nothing to do."

Jeffrey glanced at Bolton who had closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said nothing.

Jeffrey returned home with a worried face on his face. When he realized that there was no one in the house and even the lights were black, Jeffrey felt a "thump" in his heart.

Anxious Jeffrey didn't bother to turn on the light and walked into the house in panic~
Jeffrey was taken aback by the sudden lights coming on at home, but what followed was his wife's "Happy Birthday" and the children hugging his lap to celebrate him~
Jeffrey froze as his older son walked towards him pushing a cart with a 4-tiered birthday cake.

"How did this cake come about?"

"Wow, Jeffrey, you are not good. You actually hid money behind my back. If I hadn't found these ten deposit receipts in the storage room when I was cleaning the house today, I might not have been able to give them to you. Order such a big cake, and I also put on the birthday present you prepared for me in advance."

Jeffrey looked at the sparkling "GUCCI" necklace on his wife's neck, and Jeffrey suddenly remembered what Bolton said when he left [It's time to repay others, it's okay to go home and see you children and wife].

Jeffrey looked down at the thick pile of deposit certificates and was stunned. The earliest check was from 4 years ago, if he remembered correctly.

The date when this check began to appear was from the period when the little boy appeared at the gate of the prison to "rob prison"~
"I have friends too, and you have family too."

Jeffrey remembered this sentence and looked down at the clothes his eldest son had worn for two years and his wife's wrinkled forehead. Jeffrey smiled and hugged his wife and whispered in her ear: "Honey, I also want to tell you some good news. I may be the deputy director again!"

"Wow! Great! We can finally move out of this Los Angeles suburb!"

Jeffrey was very happy that night. The children had more pocket money, and his wife kept planning how to spend the money in his ear~
The next day, Jeffrey received the notice of [Prison No. 86 being restructured and subcontracted to private individuals] and the [Transfer Order].

[Transfer Form] It gave him seven days for work handover and personal affairs, which is very sufficient and humane, and the above content is exactly the same as what Bolton said.

"The money is clean. Some people dissatisfied with my existence bought me out of the blood gang, just like buying the ownership of this prison."

Jeffrey looked at Bolton sitting across from him with a complicated expression and said nothing, but Bolton was chattering like a chatterbox, talking about the more than ten years since the two met and became friends.

"What is your name?"

Bolton was stunned when he heard Jeffrey's words at first, but soon Bolton reacted: "It's hard to believe that you are willing to help me!"

"What is your name?"

"Command! We only exist in the major prisons in the United States, and the outside area is only Korea Town. You will not be in trouble." Bolton pouted and took out a cigarette from under his pillow and threw it to Jeffrey. .

Jeffrey looked at Bolton on the opposite side with complicated eyes and said: "Those short-sighted guys from the Blood Gang will regret letting you go. You have controlled the source of the Blood Gang members!"

When Bolton heard Jeffrey's words, he didn't answer him, but said seriously: "I have lived a wonderful life, but I still have friends."

"Does your friend still have that little guy?"

"No no no, he's my boy, he needs sunshine and I'm darkness! And he found himself a new job, Nightcrawler! It's not a good name, but I've inquired about it, and it's good, It’s a very old profession, Hollywood stars call them paparazzi! Hahahahaha~”

Jeffrey looked at Bolton with a complex expression and said nothing~
Jeffrey glanced at the newsstand across the road. Although the newsstand was small, Jeffrey saw that Nilta, who had just been released from prison for a long time, began to have confidence in his own life. Jeffrey seemed to understand something~
