The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 99: One big vote

The white yacht rushed out of the dock area and entered the vast Pacific Ocean. The hull of more than 200 feet became small in an instant.

In the spacious hall, Hawke and Johnson introduced everyone one by one.

It goes without saying that Erica and Dany are.

Catherine and Eric were invited by Johnson.

There is also a mother and daughter cast in almost the same mold, Alison Fies and Joanna Fies who Hawke met at the premiere of "The Scorpion King".

In addition, an 18-year-old actress named Lauren Hashian is Danny's client. It seems that the two have a very good relationship and are invited by Danny.

Then there is the chef team hired by Johnson.

Except for Erica, others are either from the entertainment industry or have a deep connection with the entertainment industry. The topic has always been around Johnson's new film and the new album that Alison is preparing.

Hawke listened specifically and asked Joanna a few words: "The album is going well?"

Before Joanna got on the boat, she heard Johnson talk about the competition for the male lead this time, and she answered very seriously: "The songs in the new album are all ready, the recording has begun, and the first MV to play the charts is also being planned. , you know something about Alison, it is not easy to become popular, the record company has limited strength and is far from comparable to Sony, Universal and Warner. "

Hawkdo asked a few questions: "What route is Alison going to take when he returns?"

"Sexy route." Joanna turned her head and looked at her daughter lying in front of the window.

Alison wore a navel-exposed T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of ripped denim shorts on the lower body, which highlighted his figure.

Although this girl is only 18 years old, she is already quite mature.

Joanna said again, "Do you have a better way to become popular?"

Hawke thought for a while, "In this way, after you go back, give me a copy of Alison and the detailed information about You. I'll take a look first. If you can think of a good idea, I will contact you."

He added in advance: “I charge very high.”

Joanna looked at her daughter, as if she was looking at the money tree: "As long as it can be popular, money is not a problem."

On the other hand, the Johnsons are discussing each other's new movie with Eric.

Hawke originally wanted to go and chat for a few words, but when he saw Erica was bored, he ended his chat with Joanna, came to her and looked at the sea view outside the window together.

He said: "We are all mixed with Hollywood and surrounding areas, and the topic cannot be separated from the entertainment industry."

Erica smiled, "It's also interesting to hear you talk about these topics. I carefully studied Steve Nutt and Dwayne Johnson and found that you are really amazing."

Hawke pretended to be surprised: "You have discovered this."

Erica was not humble at all: "Because I am also very good, I ranked first in the new examination of the police station recruiting."

She lowered her voice: "Johnson won't say anything. Your actions on the Steve Nat incident can be included in the textbook."

Hawke said calmly: "I have a confidentiality agreement and can't say anything."

Erica no longer mentioned this, but based on the information she summarized from all aspects, Steve's wife must have cheated.

“Your job is fun,” she said.

Hawke said with a temptation: "It is often necessary to wash the black into white."

Erica is not the kind of justice-filled policewoman in the movie, but instead said, "Do you know what LAPD is best at?"

Hawke said, "Clear the magazine?"

"No." Erica's voice lowered: "Wash the black ones white."

Katherine came over at this time and interrupted the two of them: "Hawke, I heard you introduced a very beautiful actress to the crew?"

Hawke said casually, "A friend, I want to try what it feels like to act."

Eric followed, "The talent is not bad."

Catherine glanced over and Eric stopped talking.

There was a whistle sound from outside, but the Coast Guard ship passed by nearby.

This large luxury yacht was rarely inspected and briefly communicated on both sides via radio.

The second deputy also came here specifically to ask Johnson to talk to the Coast Guard.

He smiled and said, "In this way, we can get a lot less trouble while we are traveling."

The public personality created by Johnson is friendly and humorous. He responded and briefly communicated with the Coast Guard on radio.

The Coast Guard people reminded them to be safe and the patrol boat drove away soon.

In the afternoon, the yacht arrived at the first reservation area.

Hawke returned to the room, changed into a sunscreen suit, and took out a fishing and hunting slingshot.

The door was knocked from outside, Erica, who lived opposite him, covered her clothes and walked in quickly: "Isn't it better yet?"

Hawke found the recorder Megan gave him, put it on his shoulder, and put on another pair of sunglasses: "Let's go."

When the two came out, Eric and Johnson had already taken the fishing rods and were preparing to start fishing at the fore deck.

When Johnson saw the two of them walking back deck, he shouted hard: "Don't you fish?"

Hawke had already inquired with the crew and said, "Let's take the speedboat and go to the island."

On one side of the rear deck, the crew put the speedboat into the water, and the other crew member sat in the driver's seat.

Hawke got on board from the end of the deck, Erica was no slower than him, and she got on the speedboat.

There is no wind and three feet of waves in the sea, and the feeling of a small boat and a large boat is completely different.

Erica asked, "You came from Wyoming, you won't be seasick, right?"

Hawke asked back, "Do you?"

But Erica said, "I often take a boat to play before work." She looked at the compass on the diving watch and pointed to the crew at the small island on the left: "Go to the southwest side of the island, I remember the water is clear and the fish are too many."

On the back deck, Alison, wearing a bikini, shouted, "Hey, can you bring me one?"

Erica glanced at her. The girl's swimsuit was basically three ropes, and she said, "Sorry, it's full."

Hawke said to the crew, "Drive."

The speedboat rushed out and quickly circled around the southwest side of the island. It may be due to tides. Today, the water quality is excellent. You can see the reefs below when you sit on the boat.

There are also small fishes near the reef.

The fish dart couldn't shoot too deep, Erica slowed down the crew and came to an area near the water surface.

Hawke stared at the water, looking for traces of the fish.

Erica looked at the other side.

Hawke reminded: "I tried it. Within fifteen meters, it can reach more than 30 centimeters underwater at most. If it is deep, it will be powerless."

Whether you can get this thing or not is the process.

He deliberately opened the recorder on his chest and asked Erica, "Do you mind?"

Erica said, “Don’t spread it.”

Hawke nodded, "Of course."

Erica pointed to the stern of the boat: "Over there."

There were some upper-level fish on the water, swimming from a distance.

Hawke hung a fish dart and saw a fish approaching the water surface. He felt the distance was right. He pulled the rubber band away. The fish dart pulled the fish line and shot out like a sharp arrow, falling into the water.

The reel on his wrist turned rapidly, and something obviously pulled out.

Hawke grabbed the fishing line with his hands and dragged it back hard.

Erica asked, "Are you shot?"

Water has refraction, which is different from vision. Hawke has practiced for a while.

As he pulled the fishing line with both hands, a mackerel of more than 30 cm was pulled out of the water by him.

"Good start!" Hawke pulled the fish onto the boat and picked the fish dart.

Erica took the fish and took out a knife: "If you eat it, you need to bleed and keep it fresh."

The crew brought a bucket of water to come up.

Hawke hadn't played it before and asked, "Which part is bleeding."

"Look." Erica stabbed her knife behind the fish's gills, stirred her a few times, threw the fish into the bucket, splashed the **** idea on the gloves, wiped it casually with a towel, and then inserted the knife back to the waist. In the sheath.

A few of the mackerels that were scared away just now swam back.

Hawke pointed: "You're the one this time."

Erica pulled the rubber band open, and after a bang, water splashed on the sea, and the second mackerel was pulled onto the boat by her.

Hawke took the knife from her waist and let the fish go.

As the fish darts continued to fly out, a large area of ​​blood was dripping under the feet of the dogs and men.

Most of them are mackerel, and this slingshot cannot shoot fish deep in the water.

The largest of them is a bonito.

Erica pointed to the rocks on the shore of the island: "Look over there, it seems like there are pelicans."

Hawke was not interested in the Pelicans and looked up at the sky: "Is the hovering one, is it the bald eagle?"

Erica saw that the guy was as ambition as he was, reminding him: "This thing cannot be killed, it is protected."

She waited for the crew to pack up the fish and lowered her voice: "One day we came out, bring a hunting rifle, shoot one, and try what the taste is."

Hawke gave her a thumbs up: "Good idea."

Erica said again, "This time you invite me to hunt fish. Next time, I will invite you to Florida to hunt crocodiles." "No problem." Hawke felt the wind was a little louder: "Let's go back."

This thing is just to play with it fresh. If it continues to be fresh, it will be average. Erica approaches Hawk and sits down, and the speedboat returns.

Johnson and Eric saw the two come back and ran to the back deck to see the harvest.

Eric flipped over, full of shallow fish, and said, "Daun and I caught a few groupers."

Hawke smiled: "The fun of fishing and hunting lies in the process, not in the fish."

The burly Catherine came over in a swimsuit and said, "Hawk makes sense, you're far from looking at him with your mouth."

Hawke handed the bucket of fish to the crew: "Send it to the kitchen and let the chef watch the extra meal."

The weather at sea changes rapidly, and the wind is gradually increasing, and everyone returns to the hall.

The yacht continued to sail south.

In the evening, the yacht prepared a hearty meal and kicked off the celebration party.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Johnson announced at the party: "We rushed to Guadalupe, Mexico tonight. It is the season for great white shark courtships. Guadalam is a tourist destination for watching great white sharks."

Hawke deliberately joked: "Are you covered in blood and go to the sea to watch?"

Johnson replied seriously, "You want to go like this, I won't stop you." He said, "Recharge your fuel in the early morning, and we will be on Guadao when we wake up tomorrow."

It was getting late, and in the cockpit, the captain who had been staring at him for a day, was going to rest. Just like in the past, the first mate was on duty in the cockpit at night.

He asked the second mate again: "Where is the gasoline tanker?"

The second deputy replied, "I will meet with us at around 2 a.m., and I will wait for them in the back." He smiled and said, "The company that has been working with for many years will not have any problems."

The captain went back with peace of mind and drank Evian mineral water on the boat. The sleepiness quickly came.

The cockpit door is closed, and there are only two people, first mate and second mate.

The first mate said: "This time I will add another $50,000 to the original basis."

The second deputy did not answer, but asked, "You went to a private card game again? I have advised you that it is a bottomless pit. If you save the money, you will be able to retire soon."

The first mate didn't respond, and the same question was: "Do you give it?"

The second deputy thought things were not good: "You won't repay the loan shark, are you?"

The first mate just looked at him.

"Okay!" The second deputy temporarily stabilized him: "I will give it to you after you get ashore."

The first mate said, "Remember what you said."

The second pair put on a good look for you: "Don't bet anymore, pay off the loan shark. Let's work together for a few more years and you will soon be free from wealth."

The first mate was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

The second deputy was not sure if he could listen, but at least he kept the person steady.

When he left the cockpit, he thought about it and tried to replace the first mate after considering this time.

The solution is not difficult. The Mule Gang already has some influence in Los Angeles, and it is just like someone has a car accident and has broken his legs and his arms.

After the second officer left, the first officer picked up the intercom and called someone. Not long after, the tall and large white crew member entered the cockpit.

The first mate asked, "O'Reilly, let you contact them privately, how are you?"

O'Reilly smiled a little hideously: "The three subordinates who developed the second deputy were all willing to make a vote. They followed the second deputy and didn't earn much money. Most of the money was taken away. The second deputy was too stingy, and he ate it. Others can only force some soup to drink."

He turned around and asked, "Boss, can you find a sales channel?"

The first mate said, "I know a guy in the card game and he is looking for goods everywhere."

O'Reilly said again: "I've arranged everything, and we're all on the night shift tonight."

The first mate thought about it and said, "First look at the quantity of goods. If there are too few, bear it for the time being. We can only make one vote, and we must make a big vote."

Money is touching, especially those like him who work on luxury yachts. They are often rich people, but their salary is limited, and their cognition is prone to deviations.

O'Reilly asked, "Where are the guests on the boat? The chef team was hired by them themselves, so we can't get involved."

The first and second mates have dealt with similar situations before: "As usual, when the party is over, I will give them our bottled water in each room to give them a good night's sleep. I have consulted a pharmacist friend. The side effects are almost impossible to detect after the quantity is controlled. Even if some people have some side effects, they will be treated as discomfort on the ship on the sea."

"I'll go prepare now." O'Reilly went out.

Not only the guests on the boat, but the captain who doesn't have to work on the night shift, he slept very well on the boat every time.

The captain felt that he was born to belong to the sea.

...

In the yacht's banquet hall, the party just ended.

Hawke looked for a napkin to wipe his hands, and Alison, wearing a low-cut suspender, suddenly popped up from the side.

She leaned over to get things from the table, her clothes fell down, and said to Hawk, "It's clear outside. Go to the top floor in the early morning to see the stars together?"

Hawke looked at it slightly. The girl seemed young, but she was **** and mature.

To be really involved with such a person means countless troubles. He pointed to Erica who had just left the banquet hall and refused directly: "I have a female companion."

Alison stuck out his tongue and turned around quickly, then walked away.

She didn't go back to the room, but went to the kitchen.

Hawke had a feeling that this girl could easily get on.

He left the banquet hall and went up the second deck through the stairs.

Erica had already opened the door and was standing at the door when she saw Hawk coming over and waved her hand, "Good night, see you tomorrow."

Hawke was not in a hurry and said, "See you tomorrow."

A crew member turned over from the other side of the stairs, but came to deliver water.

Each room has two bottles of Evian mineral water.

Hawke took the water and suddenly thought of Alison's invitation before, and started pulling again: "The wind has stopped outside. Go and see the stars in the early morning?"

Erica replied, "Okay."

"I'll call you then." Hawke opened the door and went back to the room.

Erica went back, too.

Hawke casually placed the mineral water on the cabinet at the door, went into the room and looked carefully at the storage cabinet door. After opening it, he took out the bottle of water from the suitcase and started drinking it slowly.

This is the water prepared by Johnson's team of chefs.

In the master bedroom upstairs, Danny unscrewed a bottle of Evian and took a few sips.

Johnson came out of the bathroom and she handed another bottle over.

Johnson took it and was about to drink it when he suddenly remembered that during the audition, Hawke stopped him from drinking the bottled water provided by the crew. He couldn't help but look down. This water was not the brand he purchased.

Although he felt that Hawke was too careful sometimes, Johnson benefited from these successive benefits, so he twisted the lid, threw the water aside, and said to Dany, "Isn't there the water we brought in the room?"

Dany took the water delivered to the room by the chef's team and threw it to Johnson, saying, "You're influenced by Hawk, and you're too careful in doing things."

Johnson thought of the process of winning the male lead and said, "It's better to hit someone than to be hit."

Danny was dissatisfied: "Your words seem to have something else."

Johnson smiled and said, "It means purely literal, nothing else."

On the second floor, Hawke took a short sleep, woke up on time in the early morning, went into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and was about to go to the opposite side to call Erica, the door knocked from outside.

He leaned into the cat's eyes and looked at it, then opened the door.

Erica, wearing a black coat, came in and said, "Are you ready? Go and see the stars."

Hawke went to get his clothes: "I'm just going to call you."

Erica said, "I will come naturally after making an appointment, so I can't let you wait."

Hawke put on his coat, took a fishing and hunting slingshot, and said, "It seems that there is a fish lure on the yacht. After seeing the stars, we will try fishing and hunting at night."

"Good idea." Erica returned to the room and took her own set of equipment.

Hawke unplugged the charging recorder and wore it on his shoulder.

Thinking of seeing the stars, I took another telescope.

The two closed the door, went upstairs along the stairs, and walked to the top deck with ease.

The wind in the afternoon had stopped, the clouds had already dispersed, and the sky was full of stars, as if the night was covered with gems.

The two walked towards the front of the deck and suddenly found two figures at the front of the top deck.

One stood on the guardrail, and the other squatted in front of him.

Hawke and Erica stopped at the same time.

The two people in front saw them too.

With the help of starlight and moonlight and the lights on the lower floor of the ship, Hawke recognized who the two were.

Standing as if a young chef in a chef team.

The one squatting was Alison Fies.

As for what the two are doing, they can guess without seeing clearly.
