  Chapter 9 Father and Son Night Talk

"You said that if Mom was alive and saw the two of us riding bicycles like gays and causing pedestrians to stare, and all this was just because Dad got into trouble again, would she want to buy a gun and kill Dad?" Tommy Hawke was pedaling his bicycle vigorously, while asking Tony Hawke in the backseat loudly.

Tony Hawk bit half a cigarette and frowned: "I don't know, but I think, if Dad asks me to find a way to get some bail money, I can only grab the police's gun and kill myself. Go see mom."

   Fortunately, Warwick City is too small, but within ten minutes, the two rode to the police station. When Tommy placed the bicycle, Tony had already rushed to the main entrance of the police station.

  Tommy Hawk was not in a hurry to follow Tony in, but first touched the more than four hundred yuan he had just earned in his pocket, thinking about how much he would have left after he got Dad out.

But when he walked into the lobby of the police station, he realized that the situation was different from before. His father Colin Hawk was not handcuffed in the lobby waiting to be interrogated, but stood in one place with no restrictions on his hands and feet, pretending to be transparent In the glass cell, he was explaining something to a policeman with his back to the door with a serious expression.

   "Father." Tony pushed the door of the detention room open a crack and greeted his father familiarly.

  Tommy also stepped forward: "Good evening, Dad, thank you for giving your children another wonderful trip to the police station."

  The policeman turned around, and both Tommy and Tony breathed a sigh of relief. The other party was an old policeman they were very familiar with, Officer Lenny Cotton.

   "Boys, don't worry, I'm innocent." Colin Hawk saw the two sons and greeted with a grin.

Lenny, who was about to say hello to the two, immediately looked away and said seriously, "Colin, if Lawyer Joan Crane hadn't stopped you and I happened to be on patrol, you would have been handcuffed in the same prison as yesterday. On the chair! You were almost suspected of intentionally hurting someone!"

   "Actually, Crane punched me first." Colin Hawke said disapprovingly.

Lenny Cotton said with an ugly face: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Mr. Crane punching you. Anyone who sees a guy with half of his **** trying to seduce his wife will do this. !"

   "I paid, I'm Joan's client."

"She's a lawyer, not a **** prostitute! You paid her to help you with your legal problems, but that doesn't mean you can seduce her to bed and show her your D**K! Or **** gram When Mr. Lan is at home! God, Colin, don’t you feel ashamed? Colin who loved Alida so much, did he go to heaven with Alida? You were a good man before, Colin, my wife used to It would be great if I could love Alida the way you love Alida, but now you are just a complete bastard."

"I'm glamorous and I didn't violate the law. I was beaten and I was a victim." Colin Hawke's angry questioning of Lenny Cotton did not show any emotional fluctuations, just smiled lightly Said: "Maybe Alida can make me change back to that good man, but unfortunately she is not here, can you help me bring her back, Lenny?"

  In that calm smile, there is a deep sadness.

Faced with Colin Hawke's rhetorical question, Lenny Cotton didn't know whether to continue to be angry or to comfort him, and finally just turned around: "Asshole, you better hope that your **** successfully attracts lawyer Joan Crane, make sure she doesn't Will report that you harassed her, otherwise she is a lawyer who will send you to prison for countless crimes."

"Officer Lenny, I only care about one thing, do we need to find a way to make up the down payment for the bail bond, and then call the bail bond company and ask them to send the money over." Tommy Hawke was beside him with a conjectural expression on his face asked.

In the United States, not everyone has the money to pay bail, so bail companies that specialize in providing financial guarantees for criminal suspects came into being. Suspects only need to pay 8% or 10% of the total bail amount, and the rest The money can be handed over to the bail bond company. After the court hearing, the bail refunded by the court will be directly transferred to the bail bond company’s account. After the bail bond company deducts 3% or 5% of the total amount of the bail bond, the remaining down payment will be made. money back to the suspect.

  This is also the reason why Tony only needed two hundred yuan to get Dad Colin out of the police station yesterday.

  In America, everything can be a business.

"No, kids, no need this time. I happened to be on patrol and stopped in time, otherwise poor Mr. Crane would be sent to the hospital." Lenny Cotton turned around and said to Tommy: "Your Dad can leave at any time, and as long as attorney Joan Crane doesn't report that she's being harassed, the police won't bother him."

   "She won't report the crime, she has what she needs..."

"Shut up! Colin! Now, boys, take your **** dad, by the way, his car is still outside Crane's house, you two go and drive the car back, but don't let him go , I'm afraid Mr. Crane can't bear the excitement." Lenny Cotton stopped Colin Hawke from continuing, and then said to Tommy and Tony.

  Tony patted Tommy on the shoulder, and said actively: "I'm going to drive, you come to take a walk with Dad, thank you, Officer Lenny, thank you very much, Dad, give me the car keys."

  Tony took the car keys from his father, winked at Tommy, and left the police station quickly.

  Colin Hawke stroked his long blond hair with his hands, then walked out of the police station with his head held high and his son Tommy in his arms.

"The smell of tequila, Tony really invited you to drink tequila." It wasn't until standing on the street that Colin Hawke turned his head to look at Tommy, who was already about the same height as himself, and asked with a smile: "How was your day, son?"

Tommy gently pushed Colin Hawk's arm on his shoulders, shrugged, and looked at the starry night sky: "It's a great day, if it didn't end early because you showed your **** to the female lawyer, it would be Even better."

"Ah~ That was just a small misunderstanding. Joan wanted to check the old wound on my crotch from being hit by a boat plank, and see if it was possible to use those scars to gain some sympathy points in front of the judge." Lin Hawke said to Tommy.

  Tommy laughed, walked to his bicycle and leaned against it: "So, if Lawyer Joan Crane wants you to sleep with her to pay for the consultation, you will refuse?"

"Of course, there is no doubt... If she is wearing that old-fashioned suit... it depends on how much consulting fees can be paid." Colin Hawke opened his mouth, and after changing his words continuously, he finally gave an uncertain answer, but Seeing Tommy's half-smiling eyes, Colin Hawke said with affirmative tone:

   "I love your moms, I love you all, and that will never change."

   "I know, of course I know, I wish you a happy night, Dad, if there is nothing wrong, I'm going to go back and continue my self-study." Tommy Hawke patted the seat of the bicycle and said in a nonchalant tone.

Colin Hawke saw Tommy Hawke pushing the bike and asked, "Don't you want to go for a walk together? Kid, we haven't talked for a long time. Tony told me, you can earn eighty dollars a day, Still refuses to drop out of high school."

   "I started a small business part-time just to avoid being blackmailed by you to drop out of school. After all, you can always take all my deposits accurately, can't you?"

   "Are you blaming me?"

   "Isn't that obvious enough?"

   "Why? I never blamed you, son, why are you dissatisfied with me in your heart?"

"Because I want to withstand the pressure you put on me, correct my life, I want to go to a good enough college, leave this small town, I don't want to be a cobbler, a car repairman, a fast food clerk, a truck driver, I don't want to be You and Tony, the best way is not to give up yourself."

"You know, on that day five months ago, I once had a thought about you, I don't want to be your father. You think we will use all means to make money to bring Bethea back home, which will hinder your studies , you know, in my opinion." Colin Hawke lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then looked up, looking at Tommy Hawke with complicated eyes:

   "Son, you seem to have forgotten that Bethea was taken to a foster family because of your **** magazines, so you owe this family."

  Tommy Hawk's body shook slightly, and finally said slowly: "I will return it to this family."

"No, no need, I will bring back Bethea, go to study, when you really get the university admission letter, I will help you prepare a check to pay the tuition fee, we are family." Colin - Hawke smiled at Tommy Hawke indifferently, then turned around and walked along the road towards home. The street lights under the night, the shadow reflected on the ground continued to elongate, and finally enveloped Tang Mi Hawk:

"I always thought you were grown up like Tony, until you said that, I realized that you are still a teenager, son, continue to do whatever you want, until you really understand family and responsibility Before these two words, there is no scruple."

   Thank you Yin Yang Wuxing and Lang Lang Lang Lang Lang for your replies~~ It feels great to know that someone is reading this book, which makes me feel less lonely, thank you very much.
