The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 44 Conveying the "last words"

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Wilshire branch, Jack, who was eating a burger while walking, found John who was handing over the banker Caleb Jost with the county police.

"I asked Hannah to go back to rest first. I just talked to the hospital on the phone. The deputy sheriff named Graham is out of danger. Let's go visit him."

John's expression was a little weird, and he said after a while of hesitation: "I just asked, Graham has no wife and has always been single, so he asked me to convey the words to Beth."

The name of the Euro-American guy is troublesome, various abbreviations and nicknames, and it is necessary to distinguish whether to call the first name or the last name according to the degree of intimacy, Jack sighed, and asked a county policeman who came to escort the prisoner.

"May I ask if you have any friends or colleagues named Elizabeth or Isabella around Vice Captain Graham?"

"My name is Elizabeth, what's the matter?" A white policewoman in her 40s approached not far away.

John looked surprised: "Do you know Graham?"

The policewoman nodded: "Yes, we have worked together for the past five years."

Jack finished eating the hamburger in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "Did he ever call you Beth?"

The policewoman's expression was a little strange, and she didn't answer directly: "Why do you ask this?"

John scratched his head and explained, "Well, we are the two LAPDs who found Graham at the accident scene."

"He grabbed my hand before getting into the ambulance and asked me to pass a word."

"What?" Elizabeth looked around, her eye sockets were a little moist and gradually turned red, she seemed a little at a loss, and seemed to want to explain something: "I heard that he might not be able to survive, so."

John quickly waved his hand: "No, my colleague just contacted the hospital, he is out of danger, he was before."

He hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Jack felt that he had rolled his eyes too much today, so he simply took over the conversation: "He said please tell Beth that he loves you."

Elizabeth seemed a little unbelievable, she covered her mouth with her hands, and there was joy in the corners of her eyes, but her voice was choked up: "You lied."

"No!" John quickly testified for Jack: "He thought he was going to die at the time, and this was his last words."

"So, is it you? Are you dating?" Jack, the melon-eating crowd, hurriedly asked. This was probably the only thing that made him feel good in this bad day, except for a kiss from the little lolita. It's an episode, we must gossip to the end.

Tears welled up in Elizabeth's eyes, and she nodded again and again: "He is my friend, a very good kind. There was a time when I thought he would ask me out, and I hoped that he would talk, but he never did."

Da la la la, the case was solved, John and Jack clapped hands to celebrate.

"I think he must have regretted it very much at the time. Now we are going to visit him in the central hospital. Would you like to come with us?"

John issued an invitation, and Elizabeth nodded excitedly while wiping her tears away with her fingers.

"I'll drive." Excited, Jack crumpled up the hamburger wrapper in his hand, threw it backwards, and just threw it into the trash can in the corner.

"It's a wonderful ending like a fairy tale." After listening to Jack's story of eating melons, Hannah, who was lying on the sofa, blushed and kissed him.

"Oh, that's right." Jack seemed to suddenly remember something, and added: "John and his doctor Jialisi seem to have the possibility of further development. Just now I saw them looking at each other affectionately in the hospital. It's really impressive. Goosebumps."

"What about us? There are still two months until Valentine's Day, but I will already be in Quantico by then. Shall we advance the time?"

Hannah put her arms around Jack's neck, and her burning breath seemed to raise the temperature of the surroundings by several degrees.

Jack lowered his head and planted a strawberry on her white and sexy collarbone, and was about to explore downwards, but she pushed it away with a coquettish smile.

"We agreed to wait until I return from Quantico to go further. Are you trying to break the agreement?"

Jack let out a frustrated growl and slapped the chick on the ass as punishment for teasing him.

He hated appointments, whether it was with Hannah or Zoe, it was so annoying.

In the days that followed, good things happened one after another. Firstly, those two time travel books added a series of entry-level life skills to Jack, such as farming, woodworking, machining, photography, etc., and some skills actually produced In addition to integration, some derivative skills were subdivided.

For example, farming and his original gardening merged into planting, and the newly obtained EOD was integrated with the original chemical and manual skills to derive blasting and bomb disposal skills.

The sudden enrichment of a lot of skill trees is really dazzling. Jack was pleasantly surprised and deeply felt the lack of gold coins in the system. The 5 gold coins rewarded before becoming a full-time regular, plus the 3 recently saved, are only 8 in total, which is still not enough Improve a master skill.

He is still hesitating whether to point the rifle to proficiency first, or to point the pistol to the master level after collecting 10 pieces, and from then on he will have the magic skill of being invincible within ten steps.

The two skills have their own strengths. Considering that he will be in the LAPD for a long time in the future, there will be many big scenes that require the use of rifles. Jack hesitated and decided to keep it even if he saved enough 10 system gold coins. Play by ear.

In addition, he has also acquired some skills in other ways in the past few months, such as lockpicking learned from Angela, and entry-level Spanish and French acquired through self-study of language books and dialogue exercises with colleagues.

But after all, time is limited, and these skill levels are only at the entry level, and Jack has no intention of wasting system gold coins on these skills. Under normal circumstances, entry is enough to deal with most situations.

With continuous learning and exercise, the basic attributes are still improving, and these skills will be gradually upgraded in the process of use.

The next good thing was that Jack finally had his own house in this world. After a series of cumbersome procedures, the small white two-story building at 7765 Genesee Street was finally transferred to his name.

The price he paid for this was a monthly loan bill of nearly 3000 knives, which would take 20 years to repay. Although he thought he didn’t want to receive a stack of bills at the end of the month like Lao Mei, but unknowingly, someone has gradually become into the shape of this world.

Just like the people of Seres who entered the 21st century in their previous life borrowed a loan from the bank that would take a lifetime of hard work to repay to buy a house of their own.

After sending Daniel Lawson and his son on the plane to Salt Lake City, Jack spent three days of spare time to roughly clean up the inside and outside of the house, and moved his things inside in one weekend.
