  Chapter 3 The freak without tacit understanding

  In McCready's garage, Tony Leon lifted the hood of a pickup truck, and then gestured with his finger to the boss sitting in the driver's seat to hit the accelerator hard so that he could observe the engine running.

  However, Anderson, the owner of the auto repair shop and the number one car repair technician, did not step on the accelerator with him in tacit cooperation as usual.

  Tony raised his head, looked at Anderson in the driver's seat, and asked in puzzlement: "I thought we could have a tacit understanding to participate in the TV show "Cooperative Huge Breakthrough"."

   "Boy, the guy who really has a tacit understanding with you is at the gate." Anderson bit a sandwich and said with a smile to Tony.

  Tony turned around, and then saw his younger brother Tommy Hawk, standing at the door of the auto repair shop.

   "He is the only freak in the Hawk family who doesn't have a tacit understanding." Tony retracted his gaze, and while tearing off his gloves, he said to Anderson:

   "I'll be right back, Anderson."

   "Of course no problem, my good boy, you just need to promise to fix this car today." Anderson nodded and said.

   "I will." Tony threw the gloves on the engine, turned and walked towards Tommy Hawke, sized Tommy up as he walked, and said harshly:

   "Look, what's the matter with Mr. Tommy Hawke, our future rocketeer, professor, scientist, and other **** job holders in the United States?"

   "I need you to lend me a car." Tommy took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Tony, and said straight to the point.

  Tony froze for a moment, stared at Tommy for a few seconds, then took the cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Wow, I guess you don't need a car to go to school."

   "I need to make some money to ensure that I won't be exploited by you and Dad to sleep on the street, right?" Tommy bit a cigarette by himself, took out the lighter and lit it.

Tony clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "Hey, brother, you finally figured it out? It's long overdue to say Good Bye to that **** high school! Want a long-term job? I have a good recommendation, by the way, You should move back tonight and we'll have a party to celebrate you dropping out of school and let…"

"I didn't drop out of school, I just took a day off, please lend me a car with good gas, if you can, lend me two hundred yuan by the way, it doesn't matter if I don't, I can go to Ruby from the Italian community to borrow money , but first a car," Tommy Hawke said to Tony, puffing out smoke.

  Tony looked around, then looked down at the cigarette: "Boy, are you crazy? Are you going to talk to Ruby? Two hundred dollars? You know that guy has a high interest rate, right?"

   "I need a little principal, and if everything goes well, I might be able to get the money back before dinner." Tommy shrugged at Tony.

  Tony asked with a serious face: "What business? Tommy, what business?"

   "Small business, small business for students." Tommy also spoke seriously.

"Yesterday, I advanced Anderson's salary because of my father's bail. I can no longer talk to him about taking money, but... the car is fine, and the money is fine, just wait for me." Tony bit his cigarette and said to Tommy, Turn around and walk towards Anderson.

  The two talked for a while, and soon Tony got into an orange Chevrolet family five-door sedan in the garage, and slowly drove to the door. Tony lowered the window and tilted his head towards Tommy:

   "Get in the car, bro, let's get the money."

  Tommy Hawk got on the co-pilot: "I go to Ruby to borrow money, it's no different from you, he knows me."

"But I'm your brother, boy, you can only take the money from me, and I'll go to Ruby to borrow money, so that he won't trouble you." Tony held the steering wheel and looked forward intently : "I am your brother."

  Warwick is a small city, with a population of 80,000, 78% are Irish, 12% Italian, 5% British, 3% are black, and the remaining 2% are shared equally by other races.

   With a population of only 80,000, there are two major gangs, the Irish-born Charleston Gang, and the Italian-born New England Mafia.

   As for the gangs of **** that are making waves in other cities in the United States? In Rhode Island, **** look more like gentlemen than white people, because in this land, white people can kill people and seek innocence, but if **** dare to defecate and be caught, they will immediately face Being attacked by a group of white neighbors, and then the city government forced their family to move out and get out of the city.

The poor **** living in Warwick, who accounted for 3% of the total population, were trained in a civilized manner by 95% of the total population of white people, compared to those who landed in Rhode Island and were trafficked to all over the United States. The **** ancestors are more like the city's loyal and hardworking slaves.

  Italians are mainly gathered in the Italian residential area in the South District of Warwick. The Ruby in Tommy's mouth is a peripheral member of the New England Mafia.

However, whether it is the Irish Gang or the Mafia, they are insignificant to most people in Warwick City. Many people may never interact with them in their lives. These gangs have long stopped collecting protection fees and extorting money as their main business. Turned to operating illegal casinos, smuggling, gambling, opening bars, lending usury and other businesses.

  Ruby is a kind Italian young man, at least on the surface he looks kind. He runs a handmade leather goods store. When many Italians have no money, they will borrow money from him. As long as the repayment is on time, everything will be fine.

   "Ruby." Tony pushed open the door of the leather goods store, and greeted Ruby who was wearing a leather apron and making a belt by hand.

   Ruby looked up at the two brothers Tony and Tommy who entered the door: "Tony, Tommy, long time no see."

   "Oh... I'm having some trouble, so..." Tony began.

"Come on, Tony, get straight to the point. For the sake of everyone being Italian, everyone who comes to see me is in trouble. Just tell me how much you need." Ruby looked up and interrupted Tony's words , smiled and continued to lower his head, using a ruler to measure the length of the belt.

  Tony exhaled: "Two hundred yuan, I need two hundred yuan."

   "OK." Ruby put down the ruler in his hand, turned and walked to the safe in the corner, took out ten twenty bills from it, locked the safe, walked back and handed it to Tony.

  Tony reached out to pick it up, but Ruby didn't let go, but looked at Tony with a smile: "Tony, how long do you want to borrow?"

   "Tonight...before your leather shop closes?" Tony looked at Tommy uncertainly, then said.

   "You need to pay me back two hundred and twenty yuan. I don't like short-term loans from customers, so I charge higher interest." Ruby looked at Tony: "Is it a deal?"

   "Deal." Tony nodded, and Ruby let go of his hand, allowing Tony to take the two hundred yuan.

After getting the money, the two walked out of the store. Ruby continued to lower his head to measure the belt, and said while busy: "I'm going home for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, so if you can't see me here, I'm going to put When the arrears are sent to my house, I need to pay two hundred and forty-two yuan."

  Wait out of the leather goods store, Tony handed the money to Tommy Hawke, and Tommy put it in his pocket: "I will pay it off before tonight."

   "Well, now you can start your little student business." Tony took out his cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and smiled at Tommy.
