Ten minutes later, Tom and Mrs. Victor took advantage of each other's lack of arrival to hide in a nearby bush.

Victor sat quietly at the door of the train car with a gun, and the chasing car surrounded him, and the train that had already reached the bend five kilometers away also stopped, where there was a fierce exchange of fire, and then quickly subsided.

This is supposed to be the Cromwell neighborhood in Indiana.

There can't be any reinforcements here.

In the darkness, Tom clenched his weapon and his palms were sweaty, and Mrs. Victor was beside him, gritting her teeth.

A woman who is an ordinary family has no idea at the moment.

Mrs. Victor, who was accustomed to the wind and rain, understood that her husband's choice was right, and the other party should have come at her husband, and if her husband did not stay, the other party would definitely continue to search vigorously, and the whole family would not be able to escape at that time.

Her mind was still echoing her husband's warning: "Don't make a sound, Tom, no matter what happens, you are a man and you must protect your mother." ”

"You take her away now and hide."

"Marianne, think of Marcheno and Charlie! Don't let me down. ”

At this moment, a tall man walked up to Victor: "Victor? ”

"Say whatever you want." Victor looked at the unfamiliar face calmly: "I haven't seen you, tell me your name." ”

The other party did not answer, at this time Victor suddenly stood up, he was holding a gun, the other party knew that this was an old and strong guy, and immediately someone scolded him, and Victor pointed a gun at the other party.

His hands were steady.

Victor squinted under the headlights: "Tell me where you came from." ”

"You'll know. Tom and your wife are still in the car, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, Tom's heart relaxed a little, because the other party obviously wanted to live up, and they had what they wanted.

But Mrs. Victor's heart tugged, for she knew that her husband was a man who did not want to be involved with others.

Victor, who had been strong for half his life, stood in the middle of a dozen strange enemies, his face illuminated by the headlights.

He muttered, "The person who called you better not move." ”

"What you said today doesn't count." The man suddenly stepped back as two gunshots rang out in the darkness, one in Victor's leg and the other in the arm.

Victor, who had been hit hard, suddenly fell.

Tom was about to stand up when he saw this, but Mrs. Victor hugged him tightly.

"Protect me, Tom, protect me." Mrs. Victor endured the pain in her heart and desperately held her adopted son, because she knew that Tom would surely die if he went out.

At this point, the men swarmed up and kicked Victor's gun away and dragged him away.

But the men rushed into the carriage and found nothing.

In this regard, the leader of the other party was not annoyed, he said calmly: "Search around!" Bring Victor to the car. ”

However, at this moment, the people who were watching Victor suddenly dodged away in horror.

Because Victor endured severe pain and pulled a grenade from his bosom with his intact left arm under the lamplight, he bit open the fuse and shouted: "Don't move, everyone, tell me where you came from!" Otherwise you won't get anything. ”

Damn it.

No one expected this old guy to hide this thing in his arms.

Judging by his state, he is definitely a person who dares to completely pull the grenade.

The other party had to step back and say, "Calm down, Victor, if you come with us, I will spare your family." ”

"My family is far away from here, idiot." Victor looked at him coldly: "Then again, even if my wife is caught by you, my children will understand that it is the most rational thing for him to report the situation!" ”

The spring is cold.

The late night wind blew through Victor's gray hair in the light, and if you didn't look at his body, just from his demeanor, no one would have thought that this old man had been shot twice.

Tom burst into tears because he understood that Victor was telling him what to do!

There are many things, emotional choices are often wrong, and this is Victor teaching him a lesson.

Over there, Victor is still using his wits to sort out the enemy's information.

He said: "I am an old man, I can no longer use knives and guns, but I can kill myself!" ”

"If you want to catch me, you always have to ask for something, and there is no difference between saying it now and saying it later!"

"I'll count to three, boy, and you'll see how I do it."

Victor said one sentence after another, and then began to count, he was not bluffing, he was really going to pull the lead.

The old man clamped the grenade under his right arm and pulled the ring with his left hand, and if he pulled it, he would surely die.

The other party had to give in to this coercion and say, "Okay, we're from Mexico City." We want to talk to Charlie through you. ”

"Frank has not come back since he took Soloso, it seems that he betrayed me." Victor analyzed.

"It's not about betrayal, he just recognizes the form."

Victor immediately continued: "My friend Alberto has never been able to return, and he has only sent a telegram telling me that he is still safe. How is he now? ”

As a result, the other party said: "Stop acting, Victor, Frank is your man, he played with Mr. Estella." ”

"Frank is my man? His sons died in front of Marcheno! That's enough. Victor shook his head and suddenly asked again, "What do you want to talk to Charlie?" ”

"Safety protocols, to be honest, what he showed in Hawaii made us awe, and we needed a guarantee of safety."

Victor laughed when he heard this: "What a fool who doesn't have a word of truth. ”

The old man used the wisdom of half his life to get two conclusions from the other party's words.

Estella should have revealed Frank's true identity, and the other thing is that the other party is definitely not begging for safety when he tries to kidnap him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to shoot, they wanted to blackmail Charlie for something, and even wanted to lure Charlie into a trap.

Speaking of which, I'm still careless.

After two months of walking, Frank has not heard from him, but Alberto sent a telegram that seemed to be a joke, in fact, if Frank really gained Estella's trust, it should have been Frank's telegram.

Frank's silence is a kind of weirdness.

But Victor had ignored this before.

He wanted to discuss the matter with Charlie when he met him.

Victor did not mean to abandon Frank, as a responsible friend, he had just emphasized his "true" attitude towards Frank.

But he found that there was only so much he could do for him.

Blood loss took away his body temperature, and Victor's body began to tremble, and he knew that time was running out for himself.
