Manhattan Reborn 1978

Blue Crystal Hotel.

David and Lilith walked out of the lobby on the first floor.

He turned around and hugged Lilith: "Go back. The Wildfire Bar will reopen tomorrow. You can come to me and let's have a drink together."

"Ok!"

Lilith stretched out her little hand and carefully arranged David's coat. She lowered her head slightly and hesitated, as if she still had something to say.

David patted her arm lightly: "If you believe me, if you need me to do anything, you can come to me at any time. I am very tired today and need to go back and rest first!"

"Well, then...see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, bye!"

David turned around gracefully, got into the car driven by Mike Bai, and disappeared from Lilith's sight in the blink of an eye.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the dark cloudy night sky for a while, sighed softly, and turned back to the blue crystal.

In the car.

David truly relaxed, closing his eyes and shaking his head.

David admires the old Morgans very much!

They are a pair of parents who love Laura very much. They are definitely the real parents!

If they had the idea of ​​forcing Laura and Lilith to separate, they would not rush Laura to New York and let Panaris and Giles work blindly by jumping up and down here!

and so.

David had been thinking about how to get Laura out of her own emotional cognitive cycle and shift her focus to entrepreneurship.

Now that I think about it, his entrepreneurial theory that he talked nonsense to Laura can only be regarded as having a little truth.

But this is the best solution David can think of!

Of course.

If Laura can really do what David said, she can work hard to make money, study hard in this society, and accumulate life and work experience.

Perhaps, with her intelligence, she can achieve success that no one expected.

Perhaps, when David sees Laura many years later, he still needs to shout: President Laura, you are domineering!Awesome!

Um. .

David could think of the last and worst outcome. .

Even though Laura tried hard and still failed to fight, she had no choice but to choose to take her savings and fly away with Lilith~

The world is so big, and with your lover by your side, no matter where you go, it’s not your home? !

Of course, people who elope always have some selfish psychology at work!

Perhaps the old Morgans were afraid that Laura and Lilith would go to this extreme, so they sent them to New York.

Um. .

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it.

This is already the case. From now on, we can only see what choices and decisions little girl Laura will make.

He is still not going to get involved in these bloody things in the future.

Wouldn't it be great to make a little money by making a plan?

As for Lilith. .

This girlfriend is very beneficial to David!

Let’s not talk about anything else, but let me just say one thing: David won’t have to go to the bad guy Pine for most things in the future.

He can go directly to his girlfriend Lilith, call her and say a few nice words, and it's done!

How refreshing!

There will definitely be harm. Since you have chosen to be a shield, you must have your own consciousness!

David felt that he could overcome these problems on his own!

hehe~

After arriving downstairs in the apartment, David yawned and waved to Mike Bai and others, telling them to go to the Wildfire Bar tomorrow and then walked upstairs back to his apartment.

David opened the door and turned around. There was no sign of Susan in the bedroom or living room.

It must be that the bar is busy preparing for the opening.

David, who was exhausted, took a hasty bath for himself, then threw himself on the bed, covered himself with a quilt and found a comfortable position. Within 3 minutes, he started snoring.

----

Miami.

In a bar where you can play bowling.

DEA anti-narcotics agent Murphy was making bets and chatting with his partner Kevin Brady and two friends.

Three men in floral shirts walked in from outside.

Cohen, Rambo and Jackal wandered up behind Murphy and looked at the people.

Murphy's partner Kevin noticed the three people walking over. He motioned to Murphy and asked him to look behind him.

Cohen said to Murphy, who stood up and looked over: "Hello, buddy, my name is Cohen. You should have received a call. Someone named Cohen will come to see you."

"Um...that's you?"

"Yes, it's me. Can we sit down and chat?"

"Okay, what do you want to drink? I'll take it!"

Jackal smiled and gave Murphy a thumbs up: "Thanks, man, just give me a beer."

Rambo pulled up a chair and sat behind Cohen, with the right corner of his mouth raised: "Beer, thank you!"

"Okay~!" Murphy glanced at the strong man with a crooked smile, stood up and waved to the waiter in the distance, signaling for beer.

Murphy sat down again, glanced at the three friends behind him, and said to Cohen: "So, how can I help you?"

Cohen took out a cigarette and passed it around to several people, then lit it himself, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "We want to know something about Griselda Blanco, Pablo, Gustavo and Colombia. of Cali Group.”

"If you know the information about these people, can you tell us all?"

Murphy was stunned for a moment, but before he spoke, Kevin from behind continued: "Man, can you tell me why you are interested in these things?"

Murphy said nothing and waited for the responses from Cohen and others.

The call he received only said that a man named Cohen would come to him to ask him something, but it did not say that what these people wanted to ask were the contents of confidential DEA documents.

The information on these drug lords was collected by DEA agents after going through many dangers. Of course, it was impossible to tell Cohen so easily.

Cohen looked at everyone with a smile: "We are from New York and belong to a private security company."

"Two days ago, many people were killed in New York due to heavy rains. The entire New York subway was paralyzed and out of service due to floods. You should know this news, right?"

Murphy and others nodded. All the TV stations were going crazy with this kind of news. They wanted to send reporters to follow up the report 24 hours a day. Of course they knew.

"On that day, the rain coincidentally hindered the actions of the two killers sent by the Cali Group, and the target of these two killers was the boss of our security company..."

Cohen recounted David being followed and blocked in the restaurant by gunmen, as well as street informants, missing gangsters, Nicky Bane, etc., all these things related to drug lords.

Murphy and Kevin were all surprised by Cohen's words.

However, they were still keen to hear several key points in Cohen's words.

The da security company where Cohen and others work was founded to help Vietnam veterans who were unable to integrate into their families and into society.

If these veterans cannot get help or are properly placed, they will definitely become time bombs that may detonate at any time!

Murphy looked at Rambo and Jackal.

What if David, the boss of the security company, was really killed by the gunmen of the Cali Group?

God doesn't know what amazing things these veterans who have just found their new home will do.

Murphy himself has come into contact with some of these veterans who have various physical and psychological problems.

Some people can rely on their own perseverance and efforts to change their own predicament and regain happiness and new life.

But more people cannot change their lives and make changes by relying on their own strength and efforts. .

Maybe they can't change anything. .

Cohen looked at Murphy and his friends, took a sip of beer, adjusted his sitting posture, and took a deep breath.

"We are now in Miami, and my boss has given us a task to bring a message. The meaning is... to make peace!"

"We are here to find and inform the drug lords who have put their hands into New York, and tell them that the security company is not targeting one of them or a group."

"We are assisting the New York police to solve cases, maintain law and order in New York, and ensure that this city does not become a city of crime because of cocaine."

“However, the fact that my guys and I sit in front of you today and come to you to understand the situation is not all because of this task given by the boss.

"I don't know who Blanco, Pablo, Gustavo, or the Cali Cartel in Colombia are!"

"I only know that they have now endangered the foundation of the security company, the new home we have finally built, and those of us who have lost our relatives and friends, and have lost hope in our lives. Our last share The sustenance and destination of living!”

"They've got their attention on us!

God will never forgive them, and neither will we. "

"So, Murphy, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yeah... I understand!" Murphy raised his head and drank the beer in his hand, then looked back at his companion.

Murphy more than understood!

Kevin and the others also heard it very clearly!

Cohen's boss might have wanted him to come to Miami to find the drug lord's men and deliver a message of peace.

The security company does not want to go to war with these drug lords and desperadoes who smuggle drugs across borders.

But Cohen hated these drug lords who were looking for gunmen to attack the security company boss!

Murphy's partner Kevin, behind him, patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Cohen, the clues and information about drug lords that our DEA knows are all confidential documents within the Drug Enforcement Administration. If you are the FBI or have If you have relevant police identification, we can also help you..."

"so now.."

"You guys must be a little tired from sitting around. How about I invite you to play bowling?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes and nodded, smiling at Kevin: "I've never played bowling before, you will teach me, right?"

"Of course, no problem! I'll teach you and I'll teach you!"

"Come on, Murphy, you and Cohen are in a group, and I'm with... um... buddy, what's your name?"

"Jackal!"

"Okay, Jackal! Your name is so cool!! How about we work in pairs and have a competition?"

The jackal happily put down his glass: "Then I must learn from it. We will beat the shit out of Cohen!"

"Hahaha~ No problem! Come on~ Look, I'll hit the ball first!"

Murphy certainly knew what Kevin wanted to do. He smiled and gestured to Cohen and taught him how to bowl.

Murphy's two companions looked at each other, took the cups and walked away from here, towards the bar in the distance.

Rambo sat there and looked back at Murphy's companion who went to the bar to chat up a beautiful woman.

He turned around and looked at Murphy and Kevin who were teaching Cohen and Jackal how to bowl.

hehe~

After more than an hour.

Murphy and Kevin followed the three Cohens and walked out of the bar.

Kevin is a few years older than Murphy. He now has less of the impulsiveness of his youth and more of the stability of maturity.

In the two years since the two formed a partnership, he has been taking care of Murphy like a younger brother.

He walked up to Murphy, shook Cohen's hand and said, "Good luck, man!"

“If there’s anything else you need our help with, just ask and we’ll do our best!”

Cohen smiled and glanced back at Jackal and Rambo.

Then he turned to look at Murphy and took out a note from his pocket: "Thank you Kevin!"

"this is for you!"

"This is...the phone number?" Kevin took the note with some confusion and looked at it.

"Yes, the number above is the duty phone number of the New York Midtown Police Department. For questions about our origins and identities, you can call this number, or ask an acquaintance in the New York police for information about me and the DA security company."

"Hey, we don't have any doubts about your identity, we just..."

Cohen smiled and waved his hand: "I understand, man! Look at the number below. It is the phone number of our security company's training base. The current person in charge there is named Lawrence."

Cohen stopped Murphy and Kevin from saying anything. He continued to say to them: "When we left New York, we just wanted to complete the tasks given by our boss, take a vacation and relax. You know, we all It’s a public trip, why don’t you let yourself relax?”

"However, after we arrived in Miami, we learned some things about the drug lords from you and other places. I think my boss's idea of ​​making peace is still a bit too mild and naive!"

"So, we need to use our own methods to solve these troubles so that they will never bother us again or bring any unknown dangers to the boss!"

Cohen patted Kevin on the shoulder with a gentle smile and said softly to them: "If we die here, please help us call the number under the note and inform Lawrence of everything we have done here. .”

"By the way, say sorry for us and tell him we tried our best!"

"You will help me with this, right, Kevin?!"

Murphy frowned and looked at Cohen and others with chest tightness, not knowing what to say.

Kevin also looked at the note in his hand with a complicated expression.

Damn it, is this Cohen explaining the funeral arrangements?

"The phone... I will call, but I think... you don't have to do this!"

"It is our duty to arrest these drug lords, and we give you information because..."

"Haha~"

Cohen deliberately laughed a few times and interrupted Kevin: "Okay, man! Let's go. I hope we still have a chance to drink together!"

"Bye Murphy!"

After saying that, Cohen turned around neatly and walked away with Jackal and Rambo.

Murphy looked at their retreating figures, exhaled a long breath, and said to his partner Kevin: "You said they... would really go to Blanco or the Cali Group for revenge?"

Kevin lowered his head and glanced at the note in his hand, shook his head and said: "If I were them, I would definitely find an opportunity to kill all the drug lords who are causing trouble! I will definitely eradicate them!"

"But Murphy, we can't control this matter, and we shouldn't control it."

"Then we... can follow them and help them with the aftermath!"

"After all, we are DEA. If we come forward, their actions will be more easily accepted by the superiors, and the FBI will not be affected by their actions..."

"No, Murphy!"

"We can't have any direct involvement or contact with them, man!"

"Why do you think Cohen gave me his phone number?"

"Are we supposed to follow them and cover them?"

"If that's the case, why don't they go to the FBI for help and make a profit deal or something?"

"But... Griselda Blanco, we can't even find her whereabouts, let alone them."

"In Miami, if the three of them really want to fight Blanco, they will definitely die here, Kevin!"

Kevin looked at his enthusiastic partner Murphy and knew that what he said was a foreseeable fact.

However, Kevin and Murphy are just low-level agents of the DE in Miami, so what can they do?

After Kevin enlightened and comforted Murphy for a while, the two of them went back to their respective homes with their own thoughts.

After returning home.

Murphy walked to the bedroom door and opened it. He leaned against the door and looked at his girlfriend Connie who had fallen asleep, feeling a little lost.

ten minutes later.

He gently closed the bedroom door, walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed the number at the bottom of the note.

He felt that he should do something for Cohen and these veterans.

Otherwise, he will definitely regret it and blame himself for the rest of his life!

at the same time.

In the distance, in the apartment of Murphy's partner, Kevin Brady.

He looked at the note in his hand and kept muttering "fxxx!"!

He picked up the phone and dialed the number on it.

----

At midnight in Miami, there are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the streets.

Rambo was sitting on the window sill of the hotel, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, blowing in the hot and humid sea breeze with a bit of fishy smell, listening to the sound of waves crashing on the beach, and recalling those old memories.

There was a knock on the room door.

Cohen and Jackal walked in with beers.

Seeing Rambo's appearance, Jackal laughed and said, "You brat, are you thinking about your old lover again?"

Rambo glanced at the jackal with disdain and said disdainfully: "My old lover was blown up by a mine a long time ago, you bastard!"

Cohen shook his head, found a stool for himself, sat next to Rambo, looked at the moon in the sky from the window, and drank beer comfortably.

"If there is anything you can't figure out, you can ask it now!"

Rambo took a sip of his beer and swatted away a mosquito that wanted to get up close and personal with him.

"Are we... going to take revenge on those drug lords?"

Cohen laughed: "Then do you think they deserve to die?"

"Me? If I have a gun in my hand and they stand in front of me, I don't mind sending them to hell!"

Jackal walked up to Rambo, put his arm on his shoulder and said, "You will definitely have this chance, I promise!"

"fxxx~! Are you serious? Do you really want to start a war with drug lords in Miami?"

"Why not?"

"What are you afraid of? Rambo!"

"Me...? David didn't ask us to come to Miami to kill them all!"

"I know!" Cohen drank half a bottle of beer and burped with a smile.

"That's why I gave Kevin that phone number!"

Rambo scratched his head in confusion and looked at the jackal: "What is he talking about? Are you as crazy as him?"

Jackal glanced at Cohen, smiled, took a step back, and looked Rambo up and down.

"Are you... afraid of death? Rambo!"

"I...cough cough cough~" Rambo almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"Hahaha~" Cohen and Jackal laughed together.

"fxxx! What's so scary? I've died countless times on the battlefield!"

"I just... don't want to cause trouble for David and the security company!"

Cohen laughed out loud for some reason. He wiped his wet eyes and tilted his head to look at Rambo.

"Drug traffickers, as David once said, if we kill one group, another group will appear!"

"As long as there are drug addicts who need drugs, and as long as there are huge profits, drug lords will never be wiped out."

"However, we don't want to cause any more trouble, we want to make peace. These are our own unilateral and naive thoughts!"

"Those drug lords, will they let David go and let the DA security company go because of our soft words?"

"So, now that we are here, we must investigate and understand all these things."

"We want them to know that David can't be touched, and da's security is beyond their reach!"

"If they don't listen and stop, we will beat them until they obey, until they know it hurts, until it hurts to the bone!"

Rambo frowned and looked at Cohen and retorted: "What if they counterattack, if they spend more money to find the killer, and kill David?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes and sneered: "As long as they are not crazy and as long as they want to continue the drug business, they will not do this!"

"Rambo, we need to wait patiently for a few days if no news comes."

He said, paused here, stood up, walked to Rambo, looked directly into his eyes, and repeated this sentence.

"If no news comes, it means there are only three of us doing this!"

"So Rambo, you need to think about it!"

"This time, we will really die!"

Rambo looked at Cohen's eyes and knew he wasn't joking.

He nodded silently and turned to look out the window.

The hot and humid sea breeze blew on him, making him feel that he was still alive at this moment!

new York.

Old Malkin put down the phone in his pajamas in the living room on the first floor.
