I love you, I won't kill you

"God, are you really going to drive back to Chicago from Yale?" Susan asked in disbelief before going to bed.

Julie sat at the desk, staring at the flight information displayed on the laptop and said, "Do you know how much the nonstop flight from Connecticut to Chicago costs? I think it's better to drive back."

Susan jumped off the bed, stepped forward and said, "You might as well say that a one-way ticket costs at least $350. I really don't understand what you think, I would rather spend $1 to buy a plane ticket." Gifts, but reluctant to use 099% of the money to buy a plane ticket."

"Hehe, those are two different things. Please don't confuse them, okay?"

"Okay, I agree. But, have you seriously considered how far the journey is?"

"Uh... the straight-line distance is 864 miles. In fact, it took us 13 hours and 58 minutes to reach downtown Chicago." Julie glanced at the web search results and said calmly.

"So you know! Well, uh...have you talked to Professor Skold?" Susan said worriedly.

After getting the information she wanted, Julie planned to rest early.When I turned off the computer, I said to Susan, "Yes, we talked about it. Of course the professor wants me to stay, but I told him that I have important things to do."

Susan went back to her bed and lay down again, and said, "Well, it's very important, why don't you go see your ex-girlfriend."

Julie smiled and didn't say anything else. She looked at Susan while lying on her bed, "Do you want to tell me that this was a mistake? Or are you worried about my schedule tomorrow?"

"Maybe, I'm just wishful thinking. Well, I admit that I'm really worried about your schedule tomorrow."

"You can choose to go with me, or you can choose to stay in school and wait for me to come back. Of course, I will not force you to make any choice, because this is your right."

Susan turned her face and glanced at her, "Hmm, that means you haven't found a fellow traveler until now?"

In the darkness, Julie's voice came, "No."

In the dark, Susan said again, "If you don't object, I think I can accompany you back."

"Thank you. But for the summer vacation starting on the 25th, I think you should go home to see your parents. You won't object, will you?"

"No objection. However, they will definitely let me settle all the expenses myself."

Julie didn't express any opinion on her words, but just replied, "Part-time job is fine, but I have to spend the first two months in Florida, do you have any comments?"

"Hehe, of course. Why not go to Miami for a summer job? Hahaha!"

After 6 o'clock the next morning, the two got up from the bed.Since I had already packed my luggage and belongings last night, after about ten minutes of washing, I was ready to go on the road.

Before leaving, Julie stopped Susan, "Are you sure you have sent an email to your parents?"

Susan held the backpack and said back, "Of course, it was a video email sent to them by phone. Is there any problem?"

Julie turned around and locked the door of the dormitory, and said as she walked, "No, I just hope they won't blame me and take you to Chicago or Florida."

The two were chatting while going down the stairs. When they reached the second floor, Susan glanced at the direction of Angie's dormitory, and then said, "Uh...do you know why Angie invited us to eat pizza at noon yesterday?"

Julie smiled and shrugged, "Maybe she is thanking me in advance for my help with the upcoming boarding life!?"

"Really? But, she can thank you afterwards."

"I don't know, but you can ask her."

Susan shook her head, smiled and walked downstairs.It was another heart-warming morning. On the sidewalks on both sides of the street where the college building is located, some morning joggers passed by from time to time.It seems that those who want to go out to play have already set off at this time; those who will not leave school for the time being are still doing what they like to do on weekdays.

Opening the trunk at the rear of the car, the two put their luggage in.When they sat in the cab, Susan looked up at the nearly 300-year-old Cambridge-style building, "Julie, time flies. We will leave here in one year, one year. "

"Hehe, if you continue to feel emotional, you will have to complain about your studies in the first and second grades." Julie said with a smile when she put on her sunglasses.

Susan put on her sunglasses, opened her arms and shouted forward, "Chicago, here we come!"

Driving all the way to the southwest quickly, Julie quickly drove the car onto Interstate 95 on the inner coastline.Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will follow the road to the Ridgefield Park area of ​​Pennsylvania.There they will divert to Highway 80, and then they will really go all the way west to Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan.

After chatting and listening to music from time to time, Susan curiously opened the glove box in front of the passenger seat.Pulling out an object, looking at Julie in amazement, he asked, "Can someone tell me what this is?"

Holding the steering wheel with her right hand, Julie looked sideways at her, "Hehe, please, this is my personal item."

Susan took the black vinyl synthetic plastic handle and carefully studied the purpose of this small short stick.In the end, she didn't find anything special, so she said angrily, "Okay, I'll give it back to you. But, I still want to know what it is."

"You really want to know? Why don't you let my daddy tell you when you arrive in Chicago?"

"What? You're kidding me, aren't you? Uh...you never seem to mention, what does your daddy do?"

Regarding her father's occupation, Julie really felt that there was no need to hide it, but she also didn't have to tell everyone.It's just that Susan asked, if she didn't say it, it would seem that the two of them were not "close" enough.

After a few seconds of silence, Julie said calmly, "Uh...he's the police."

After Susan got the answer, she was a little surprised by Julie's attitude, "Police? From the Chicago Police Department?"

"That's right, I was just transferred to the Chicago Police Department for a year."

"Oh, that's right. So, this thing is an Easter egg he gave you?"

"That's right, an Easter egg?! Hehehe, the full name of this thing is ASP Tactical Baton, also commonly known as ASP Swing Stick."

"Swing stick? Uh...how to swing? ASP? Is it the name of a company?" Susan asked, sounding like a layman.

Julie didn't expect how she could be such an "idiot".Trying not to laugh out loud, he just said, "I'll explain it to you when I get to the gas station. This ASP is the abbreviation of American Armed Systems and Programs Corporation."

Susan stared at her with great interest, playing with the retractable tactical weapon, "It seems that you have a lot of secrets."

"What's the secret? Isn't it just a stick, my dad gave it to me for self-defense. You also know how high the rate of violent crimes against women in society is."

"I agree with your point of view, but why didn't I find out before?"

"Found what?"

"Found this ASP stick, maybe I'll keep it for myself!"

Of course Julie knew, she was joking.After looking at the stick repeatedly, Susan put it back in the glove box, "Uh...Julie, I just realized now that you are really cool!"

"Really? I don't think so." Julie said flatly, staring at the interstate highway ahead.
