The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

Ray Higgins' car was an old Ford pickup truck. Clay found an old blanket and lay down in the bed of the truck holding a Benelli M4 shotgun.

Jack drove on the road, and soon followed Gabriel's request, driving on Route 40 heading east. The old sheriff was sitting in the passenger seat, holding his cell phone with a complicated look on his face.

"To be honest, I won't mind no matter what the outcome is. At this age, I have taken death lightly."

Of course he was talking about his own life and death. As for Gabriel, if he didn't care, he wouldn't have followed.

Jack smiled and joked, "Then you are different from the old people I know. I know one who has been retired for several years. He is over 60 years old and still calls himself a vagabond, as proud as an old peacock.

There is also an old guy who is over 80 years old. His biggest hobby is staring at the nurse’s butt. "

Ray Higgins burst into laughter, "My two daughters are grown up and have their own lives. Since Susan left, I have been unable to find a foothold in this world."

Jack didn't know how to comfort this old man. Although birth, old age, illness and death are normal in life, many old people who live alone die soon after their partner dies, just because they can't go through the grief alone.

There could have been another script for this story. Gabriel became the adopted son of the Higgins family and enjoyed more care. Maybe his character would not be so extreme. Maybe he could really successfully start a family as an adult.

In this way, even after Ray Higgins loses his old wife who has been with him for many years, he can still be taken care of and can turn his attention to the new generation.

Some people may be dismissive of this traditional family model, or even extremely reject it, believing that in the new era, so-called diversity is the future.

However, these people ignore that even in today's society, those who are not so jumping up and down, those ordinary silent majority, still maintain the old life style in their eyes, silently multiplying from generation to generation. Live.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was too solemn, Jack changed the topic and talked about Ray Higgins' residence.

It was quite different from what he had expected. A few years ago, Ray Higgins' wife Susan was suffering from cancer. The old man was very busy and had no energy or extra funds to maintain it. That's why the house looked like this. dilapidated.

After sending his wife away, the old man spent a few months getting himself in order, and finally made up his mind to slowly put the family back together while his health was still good. This was the scene he saw during his previous visit. .

The old man and the young man chatted casually for a few words about the issue of house repair, which was quite congenial, until the phone suddenly rang. Ray Higgins quickly answered the phone, and Gabriel's voice came from the phone, "You guys Where are you?"

Jack pointed on the navigation screen, and Ray Higgins quickly reported his location.

"Take the next intersection onto Barker Road, you're almost there." Then Gabriel hung up the phone before Ray Higgins could answer.

Jack tapped the hidden headset in his ear lightly, "We are going to turn at Buck Road and will be off the main road soon. Don't follow us yet."

The mobile phones issued by the FBI have positioning functions, and with the command vehicle following behind, there is no need to worry about exceeding the radio signal range.

After a while of twists and turns, Ray Higgins answered a few more phone calls. Under his guidance, the car drove onto a country dirt road.

"It's a farmhouse on Willow Grove Road." Jack reported the final address, then looked at the old sheriff and warned, "As soon as you see Gabriel, get out of the car as soon as possible and stand between us and him. between."

Naturally, this is not to let Ray Higgins block the gun in front, but to attract Gabriel's attention.

Although this guy's behavior is extreme, he shouldn't be able to kill his mentor as soon as he sees him based on an email. He must always ask for details.

As long as he shows up, Jack is sure that Ray Higgins is safe.

A somewhat dilapidated wooden house appeared in front of him, with a for-sale sign not far from the door. Jack slowed down and reminded in a low voice, "Clay!"

There was a soft sound in the bed of the pickup truck. Jack glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Clay's figure flashing past behind the car and getting into the grass on the roadside.

The tires made a rustling sound as they ran over the fine gravel on the path. As soon as Jack stopped the car and put on the handbrake, his phone rang again.

"You two get out of the car, Ray, and you come to the front of the house and get away from that FBI."

"Can you at least show your face first?" Before Ray Higgins could speak, Jack leaned towards the phone and said loudly.

The phone was hung up, and the door of the wooden house facing the direction of the pickup truck was suddenly opened, but no one showed up. Only a hand holding a mobile phone stretched out and swung up and down twice.

Before Jack could say anything, Ray Higgins couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car, standing between the pickup truck and the cabin.

"Gabe, I'm here, Gabe!"

"Come out, Gabe, let's have a chat!" He opened his arms as if to welcome a child who had been away from home for many days.

Jack sighed silently, then opened the door, walked around the front of the car, crossed his arms and leaned on the hood.

It's a bit awkward to wear a bulletproof vest and then use a waist or armpit holster. In most cases, Jack's pistol will be stuffed into the tactical pocket on the bulletproof vest. This position allows him to draw the gun as quickly as possible. It won't show too much hostility at the first time.

The door of the house creaked open, and Gabriel, wearing a patrol uniform, walked out carelessly, even with a smile on his face.

"When I was looking for you four years ago, I walked by and found this place. It had a for sale sign."

He pointed at the large open space around him, "I was thinking that maybe I and Alyssa could renovate this place and make it our new home.

But times have changed, just like Qin, Lei, you taught me to treat people with sincerity, but you learned to lie. You betrayed me, right? I saw your email to Peroni. "

Ray Higgins took a step forward and turned a blind eye to Gabriel's right hand on the gun on his waist. "Those are all fake, Gabe. They were written by the FBI. I have never betrayed you."

"I forged the email. We found the Trojan program you planted on Peroni's phone, Gabriel." Seeing that Ray Higgins continued to step forward, Jack quickly clarified loudly.

They were about 20 meters apart now, and the old police chief had almost walked to the middle, and deliberately stood between the two. What he was worried about was not that Gabriel would shoot him, but that he didn't want the two to shoot each other.

Jack is not angry about this. Reinforcements are still on the way. It will take a while to delay. "We have to find a way to find you first, so as to ensure that you will not die under the gun of your colleagues."

"I have nothing to say to you, FBI guys, you are all lying liars, and you are all in the same group as those who framed me." Gabriel pointed his finger at Jack, and his emotions suddenly became excited.

"Whatever you say." Jack shrugged indifferently and continued to speak loudly, "But don't you want to witness the final fate of those guys who tricked you? I know you have been paying attention to the news and the Internet recently, and the public has also seen it. Here you go, you can’t fool anyone, right?”

Ray Higgins also quickly echoed, "These are all true. Now everyone knows that you are telling the truth. The FBI has helped you prove that your previous statements are true. Those bad guys will pay what they deserve." cost."

"Then what did I get in the end?" There was a hint of crying in Gabriel's voice, "I killed someone for this, I killed innocent people, is it my turn to pay the price now?"

Ray Higgins was also in tears, "Don't do this, Gabe, please, don't give them a reason to shoot, surrender, I love you like my own son."

Maybe I can live another ten or twenty years. Maybe I can wait until the day you are released on bail. I will work hard to live and come to the prison to see you often. "

"In position, already aiming at Gabriel, waiting for your order to shoot." At this time, Hannah's voice came from Jack's earphone, followed by two gentle knocks, which were sent by Clay. A signal that he was in position.

There was no need to waste time. They were neither here to participate in a debate nor to entertain children. Jack took out the brass belt buckle from his pocket and held it high.

"'Veritas Ante Omnia', truth comes first, right? At least you stuck to yourself, didn't you? This requires considerable courage, and there are many ways to pay the price. There is no need to add another life."

As he spoke, Jack quickly stepped forward, walked to Ray Higgins, and threw the belt buckle towards Gabriel. At the moment when the other person's attention was completely attracted by this thing, he moved his lips slightly and uttered one word, " action!"

Gabriel was bending down to pick up the belt buckle in front of him. Clay, who had walked around to the side of the house at some point, suddenly stepped out from behind him and fired continuously from the Benelli M4 shotgun in his hand. He fired all five beanbag rounds in one go.

At the same time, Jack, who was standing next to Ray Higgins, pushed the old man away, swooped forward, pushed Gabriel, who was screaming in pain, to the ground, and snatched away his waist. He carried his gun and quickly searched his body.

"Get out of here first." After getting closer, Jack was startled to realize that there was an ominous smell of gasoline coming from the door of the wooden house. He quickly handcuffed Gabriel and dragged him to the open space.

"It looked like he wanted to set himself on fire." Clay carried a shotgun and took a barrel of gasoline from the house and placed it outside.

"Bang!" Jack slapped Gabriel with his backhand, "I slapped this for Sheriff Higgins. Obviously, he only gave you love, but did not give you the strict teachings like a father. "
