Chapter 339 Come with Me
Chapter 339 Come with Me
Estelle stared at the eight lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground, feeling that her career might not last much longer.
The girl held Nis's hand, covering the still-warm muzzle of her G29 with the other, and broke down, "Can we not do this? How am I supposed to write the report?"
Nis put the gun back in the case, glanced at Estelle, and nodded, saying, "Those people were firing guns in someone else's home, what should the police do if they were present?"
Estelle was momentarily stunned, then watched as Ayu started up an armored SUV and slowly drove towards a nearby dilapidated farm.
Meanwhile, 'Spur' and the others returned to the parking area and drove several more armored SUVs into the farm.
Sanderson slapped Tony on the head, chuckling and scolding, "We found you right at the door, you'd be done for if we were the enemy."
Tony gave a simple smile and said, "Actually, I wanted to let you guys in a bit further before firing, but I recognized the boss."
Speaking of which, Tony grinned at Joe Ga and said, "Boss, I helped master find a wife."
Joe Ga heard this, glanced at Old Bull, noticed the guy was now grinning from ear to ear, and shook his head with a laugh, then embraced Tony's mother, saying with a smile, "Hello ma'am, I'm the boss of P·B Company, and Tony is one of our best employees there."
Rebecca, seeing her son scratching his head with a foolish grin, the strong woman covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs, "I got the thank you letter from Central Africa, thank you, thank you for making Tony capable…"
Joe Ga put his arm around Tony's shoulders, shaking his head seriously, "NO, madam, I think you are mistaken, it's not P·B that made Tony better, but Tony that made P·B better.
If you get the chance, you should visit my Central African Base, Tony is one of the most popular people there."
Perhaps sensing his mother's concern, Tony stepped forward and hugged his tearful mother, saying in a muffled voice, "Mom, I can cook now, I cook for a lot of people.
I can also fight, but the boss always stops me, otherwise I'd have money to renovate the farm's house."
When Joe Ga saw the worried look in Rebecca's eyes because of her son's words, he hesitated, then spread his hands and said, "Madam, Tony is doing a job he loves, but I can understand your concern.
Personally, I think it might be good to let Tony work back in America, I've opened a branch here, and Tony could continue working there, though you might have to move to New Jersey."
Seeing his mother nod repeatedly, the always simple Tony suddenly became anxious, shaking his head non-stop, "No, mom, I want to go back to Central Africa, I like it there, and the people there like me.
I'm currently leading many people in training, and those guys all respect me, they now call me 'Potato Officer'.
When I'm here, other people treat me like a fool, I don't like that feeling…"
As Rebecca was about to speak, Old Bull released Carmen and said, "Rebecca, you can't stop Tony from becoming a real man.
This broken farm doesn't even have a patch of proper grass, you should pack up your things and come with us, come and see how Tony trains those locals.
He's a man, he's not a child, and certainly not a fool!
Sanderson can testify to that!"
The sudden talk of departure left Rebecca feeling lost, and as Sanderson caught the gaze of his comrade's widow, he forced a smile and nodded, "I can testify, Tony is a man, at least now I can't outrun him anymore.
Rebecca, the conditions in Central Africa aren't great, but Tony is happy there.
You really should visit, there are plenty of good doctors there, and our boss has built a resort on the most beautiful grasslands in the north of Central Africa.
If you don't feel comfortable at the southern base, you could find a job up north, so at least you could see Tony whenever you want."
Rebecca listened, somewhat incredulously, "I, I can also go there, Tony isn't just being employed…"
Sanderson didn't respond, but Old Bull waved his arms loudly, "Go, all of you go, your legs still work, it's better to farm there than to keep sheep on this broken land.
Carmen said so, didn't she? You need more activity, what better place to be active than by your son's side?"
Old Bull then glanced cunningly at the hesitant Carmen, "Why don't you come along too? That jerk is dead, their gang leader won't let you off.
We can't bother the boss to wipe them all out, right?
Go have fun there for a few years, I'll ask the boss to get you a job with that International Red Cross, save up some money and then come back..."
Seeing Carmen seemed a bit swayed, for Old Bull's sake, Joe Ga, as a competent boss, decisively nodded and added, "No problem, just write an email to your hospital's boss saying you've gone to Africa as a volunteer.
I'll have someone talk to them, your salary will be paid by Central Africa, and we'll continue your insurance payments in America.
If you prefer to resign outright, that's fine too, stay with us for a few years, I'll have a naval medical admiral write you a recommendation when you return."
As Joe Ga said this, he glanced at Old Bull, grinning foolishly, and smiled, "People need a bit of adventure spirit, our Old Bull is also one of the best, once you miss this kind of person, you might not meet another."
Carmen had always known the purpose behind Rebecca's invitation to come, but making such a big decision so suddenly still made her hesitate...
However, Tony was showing incredible resolve at the moment. Seeing Carmen hesitate, he decisively picked up a gun and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll take care of those gang bastards myself, and no one will bother you anymore."
At that moment, Carmen realized Tony wasn't just talking tough; she quickly grabbed his hand, and after a moment of indecision, resignedly nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
Tony, standing beside them, seemed even more nervous than Tony. When Carmen nodded, he hugged Tony tightly and said, "Master, you're married now, and my mom's leg has healed too. Let's go back to Central Africa; I miss it there." Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
Tony started slapping Tony's head, asking him to put him down, then walked over to Carmen, grinned, and slapped a bank card into her hand, grandly stating, "Here, you're in charge of the finances from now on, and I'll take care of the family. If anyone bothers you, I'll pop them..."
Seeing Tony's impulsive gestures, Sanderson pinched his nose in pain and then quietly walked over to Joe Ga, whispering, "This Iron Shovel is going to be unlucky. Women become terrifying after getting married!"
Joe Ga glanced sidelong at the 'loser' Sanderson and laughingly said, "You haven't seen the men from the Northeast; they're all bark and no bite. When they get back home, they can bend and stretch..."
Hearing this, Sanderson said in disbelief, "Why? That alone isn't enough to sustain a marriage."
Joe Ga looked at the regretful expression on Sanderson's face and said with a chuckle, "If you married Ayu, would you dare to argue with her?"
Sanderson glanced at Ayu, who stood at the door, as tall as the door frame, and blinked as he said, "Really? Is it that extreme?
I will never go to Northeast in my life."
Joe Ga, looking at the unlucky Tony, shook his head and chuckled, "I've only heard some rumors, I haven't really experienced it or felt it.
But I think it's somewhat accurate..."
As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at the shocked face of Sanderson and laughed, "It's you Americans who are too sentimental. It's only natural for a woman to manage the finances. If you ask me, Tony is doing the right thing.
With his China Bank card, where could Carmen possibly run off to?"
Sanderson still hadn't grasped the full picture and sighed, shaking his head, "The Rangers have a folk song...
If you like a girl, buy her a house and have a child with her. Whether you get married or not isn't important because in the end, it's all hers."
Joe Ga looked at Sanderson with a bit of sympathy and shook his head, "You're unfortunate too, but I don't pity you. At least you've had a wife. Many people in this world don't even know what a wife feels like."
While Joe Ga was speaking, sirens suddenly blared from outside.
A police car with its sirens wailing pulled up in front of Tony's house. Two police officers in beige county sheriff uniforms and cowboy hats got out of the car...
Estelle, as the only certified public official present, stepped forward to negotiate with the two officers.
What Joe Ga hadn't expected was the lack of 'professionalism' from the Texas county police.
The two officers, seemingly very willing to let the DEA take over the case, merely asked about Rebecca's condition and then promptly agreed that those guys deserved to die.
Whether these county officers were legendary Texas Rangers or not, Joe Ga couldn't tell, but he did appreciate their blatantly protective behavior.
However, as things stood, the county police might ignore it, but Estelle needed to handle it thoroughly if she wanted to smooth things over.
The two county officers were left behind to 'protect' the scene, followed by concocting statements to align everyone's story, culminating in getting everyone's signatures on the statements.
Pictures were taken of the dead Mexicans to verify their identities, and except for Carmen's ex-boyfriend, the rest turned out to be illegal immigrants. Then, in the absence of the forensic department, the case was pretty much closed.
Estelle felt she had grown, but she also felt she probably couldn't make it to heaven anymore.
In just one hour, she had concocted a complete 'story,' packaging an unauthorized killing as a sudden incident encountered during a mission, providing a reasonable explanation for the excessive use of force.
Towards the end, even Estelle started to believe her story since the two local county officers had informed her quite a bit about this gang and expressed their willingness to help the DEA take down this drug smuggling gang at the border.
Estelle the rookie had not caught the hints from the police, but Joe Ga was much sharper. He pulled Estelle aside and whispered something to her...
After listening, Estelle said in disbelief, "Doing this doesn't seem proper, does it?"
Joe Ga shrugged indifferently and said, "On someone else's turf, you follow their rules."
With 8 gang members dead, they had to show some kind of response; it wouldn't be good to just walk away after causing trouble.
"For local stability and peace, we also need to bring these gang bastards to justice.
It's not a big deal; we're going through Austin anyway, might as well..."
