companion ghost

After Kathy and Gloria returned to the New York Police Department from New Jersey, they handed over the IPAD to Emma of the Technology Department, asking her to search for information and clues carefully, and not to miss any place.

Emma smiled and said that they were all wrapped up on her body, and she would send them over as soon as she finished.

Kathy rubbed her head, took a piece of candy from her pocket and threw it to her.

Casey came out of the technical department, patted her stomach, and wandered to the burger restaurant downstairs. After greeting the familiar boss, she ordered a tuna sandwich set.

The sandwiches were made quickly, and when Kathy had the tuna sandwich in his hand, he was in a trance for a moment.

After a minute, he embarrassedly scratched his head at the boss: "Sorry buddy, I want another one."

The boss smiled heartily: "Do you want more tuna?"

Casey shook her head: "Here's some beef."

Casey walked into the elevator of the police station with two sandwiches and coffee, still thinking about his relationship with Dino.

In all fairness, he has feelings for Dino, and it can even be said that he likes Dino very much.Not just as a partner, but as a partner, he trusts Dino, trusts him unconditionally, can give his back to him, and can even sacrifice for him.But from a personal point of view, he never had a time when he wanted to live with Dino.

Every time he rejected Dino's love, he was not indifferent to Dino's disappointment, it could even be said that he was very sad.He also wants to get over his past and start a new relationship and a new life.

It's just too hard.

It took him three years to make himself no longer resist the touch of others, and another five years to put on a sunny and cheerful coat. He didn't know how long it would take him to really step into a new relationship.

In the past few years, every time Dino expresses his love directly, he will refuse, because he is afraid that he will be disappointed again and again after giving him hope.He always thought, if Dino refuses once, if Dino doesn't give up, then he will refuse twice or three times...until Dino becomes discouraged and is willing to find another person who is much better than him to spend the rest of his life with.

Who knows, he and Dino have known each other for three years, Dino has liked him for three years and never gave up, he can't change Dino's mind, it seems it's time to change himself.

Casey looked down at the steaming sandwich, took out the phone from his pocket with his right hand, hesitated, and edited a text message.

— "Hey, doctor, when are you free? I want to talk to you about the psychological evaluation."

Saddus Psychiatric Center in New York City

in the ward

Klein greeted softly with some embarrassment: "Hey, Stephen, do you remember me?"

Stephen was standing by the bed, his figure was thin, his handsome face was expressionless and fluctuating, he glanced at Klein when he heard the sound: "I remember you, you are Vincent's lawyer.

Klein said yes in a low voice, and slowly walked towards him. Stephen raised his eyes and looked at him: "What are you looking for me for? Vincent asked you to come?"

Klein shook his head: "No—"

"I guess so." Before Klein could finish, Stephen interrupted him, "I perjured him for him, I took the charge on myself for him, I lied to those good police officers, I The rest of my life will be locked up in a mental hospital forever. I gave him a knife to hurt me, but I was happy because he said that I only have him, and only he can be with me forever—but in everything After it was over, he never came to see me." Stephen raised his face slightly, shook his head with a sneer, "At the beginning, I cried and made trouble, I smashed things, I just wanted to see him, let me know what I did Everything that makes sense, but doesn't."

Klein looked at his pale and thin figure, and his tired and lifeless green eyes, and there was only throbbing pain in his heart. The sense of regret had never been greater than it is now, and it almost overwhelmed him beyond words. Come on.

"So, what are you here for today?" Stephen asked, "The case has been prosecuted again? I need to testify again?" On Klein's heart, "I'm sorry, I said too many things I shouldn't have said today. I'm so lonely, and no one has talked to me like that for a long time."

Klein shook his head slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "No, I already know everything, I know that you did not commit those crimes, and I also know who the insane person is, I just want to come and see Look at you, see how wrong I've been, trying hopelessly to assuage the guilt that burns in me every day."

Stephen looked down at the back of his hand, which was so pale that he could almost see the blood vessels, then at Klein's rare lavender eyes, and said softly, "Let's go."

Klein had no choice but to say goodbye softly, then turned and left the ward.

When the door of the ward was about to close, he heard Stephen's last question: "You have seen me now, will it make you feel less guilty?"

With his back turned to him, Klein tried to pull the corners of his lips but failed: "No, and never will."

Brooklyn Green Cemetery, New York City

Auston hesitated at the door. He knew that according to the procedure, he should not appear in this kind of place again. Once he was discovered by others, especially the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would have a big problem, but he just... ...can't help it.

He lowered his peaked cap and wore sunglasses on his face. He slipped into the cemetery in a flash and walked towards the familiar tombstone. Just as he was about to walk there, he saw the standing in front of the tombstone with sharp eyes. There was a figure that made his heart beat faster.

Auston's heartbeat missed a beat, and he quickly hid behind the tree next to him. Thanks to his training in the army, he chose a position where he could hear and see that person's voice and movements, and he could hide himself very well. .

It was a thin man, and it was still drizzling that day. He stood silently in front of the tombstone holding a black umbrella.

Alston hid behind a tree, watching him almost greedily.

After a while, Auston heard the man speak.

"It's been almost half a year, and I miss you very much."

"I didn't expect that you would babble so much with me the night before, and you would be completely unrecognizable in the car accident the next day."

"I have never looked down on you. No matter you are a male prostitute or a gang leader, you have an aura of hard work in your body. I like it very much."

"But sometimes I don't think you seem like a person living at the bottom, but everyone has their own secrets. I don't want you to know about my past, and I know you don't want me to ask about your past. .”

"I'm very grateful for your company during that time, but I don't know anything about you. Apart from buying you a cemetery, there is nothing else I can do for you."

The man squatted down and bounced the soil off the tombstone with his hands, revealing a picture of a male prostitute when Alston was undercover, and it was almost two people now.He whispered: "I'm in a bad mood today. It would be nice if you were here. But I changed my mind and hoped that in your next life you would be born into a happy family with a family who loves you, and go to college to find a good family." Work and stop struggling to get by."

"I'm leaving, and I'll see you again."

Auston watched the man leave until his figure became smaller and smaller and invisible.Under his black sunglasses, those sea-blue eyes were actually full of tears.
