While Shay was thrilled that Johnson had officially informed him that he could stay in the Ethics and Discipline Division, there was another person in the precinct who was furious.

"What, are you kidding?" Rasti hung up the phone in disbelief, his face turned very ugly, and the next moment, he smashed the pool cue in his hand on the table, and the cue broke in two.

Seeing this scene, the young man playing billiards on the side couldn't help but persuade: "Don't get excited, buddy." ”

Hearing such advice, Rasti turned his anger on the others, he turned around, held a half-piece pool cue in his hand, and said viciously to the person who had just persuaded him: "What, do you have an opinion?"

Rasti, who had done evil deeds, frightened the man at once, and he quickly stepped back and said, "No, I have no opinion, buddy. ”

"Rasti, what's going on, Rasti. Red walked out of the office quickly, looking at the scene in front of him in some surprise.

"Throw him out, throw him out for me. Rasti became inexplicably angry, pointed at the man just now, and said, "Get out, idiot!"

"Alright, everybody's heard him, that's all for today, we're going to close. Everybody went out for a walk. Red drove everyone out of the billiard room, then walked behind Rasti and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Rasti's heart was full of anger, pointed in the direction of the telephone, and said excitedly: "That was Dennis Fagan's phone just now, do you know that the bosses of the districts are going to have a meeting in the warehouse today?"

Red's heart was cold, he had a bad premonition, he quickly opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know, what did he say?"

Rasti said hatefully, "The dead old man called a special meeting and told him that it was an urgent matter. Corgi, Handigan, McBlattney, and even that Bay Ridge madman, J.P. Dolan, they all went. ”

These were the same people as Red and the dead John Eubannon, the brains of the Irish gangsters.

"He's ready to do something to us. Red knew what such a meeting meant, especially when he and Rasti were excluded, Red smashed his fist in hatred and said to Rasti full of resentment: "I told you that you killed so many people too much, I told you to keep a low profile, you just won't listen to me." ”

Rasti gritted his teeth and said to Red, "I do what I have to do, and you should know that. ”

"Does it matter now?" Red stared at Asti without showing weakness, and the resentment between the two made both of them calm down at the same time.

Red took a deep breath and said to Rasti, "The most important thing now is that you have to disappear for a while, Rasti, until your father calms down. ”

"Why the should I disappear?" Rasti scolded, he looked at Red with some excitement, and said, "If I disappear, when I come back, maybe there will be no place for the two of us." ”

"Not necessarily. Red shook his head and said to Rasti, "I can talk to your dad, and I can ask him to turn this page over." But the most important thing now is that we don't add fuel to the fire and provoke him again, so that we don't get hurt when everyone is emotional, so you have to leave for a while. ”

"I'm not going anywhere, Uncle Lei. Rasti looked up at Red with a stubborn face, pointed to his chest and said, "You have to decide which side you want to be on? Who do you support, or me?"

"Oh!" came out of Red's mouth with a helpless cry, what was the matter, why did the father and son have to choose someone else's side?

"Hey!" Seeing Red walking to the side with some evasion, Rasti chased after him and said in a deep voice: "It's time, it's now, it's time for us to fight him." If we don't act now, he wins, will you be on my side?"

"When are you going to do it, Rasti, when?" Red looked at Rasti helplessly, his voice full of persuasion.

Rasti gritted his teeth and said, "You said we would fight him all the way to the end, that was our original plan, and we will do it now. ”

"Alas!" said Red, with a deep sigh, "are you crazy, Rasti? ”

"My father, is this a joke?" said Rasti with a sad look on his face, "you know that he has never been a father to me, and I haven't mentioned the rumors outside. Hearing Rasti say this, Red was suddenly stunned, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Rasti looked at Red and said with a sneer: "What's the matter, Uncle Lei, you don't think I don't know, do you?"

"No, these, I ...... These are simply crazy!" Red suddenly became gibberish, and he said with a weak face: "Rasti, what nonsense are you talking about, those rumors outside are not reliable at all. ”

"Really?" Rasti stepped forward and stared into Red's eyes and asked, "Is it true?

Rasti's questioning upset Red, and he frowned and said, "Who knows, I don't know, it's just rumors, that's all." ”

Red almost pleaded with Rasti not to believe the rumors outside, but his look made Rasti confirm his guess. Rasti muttered, "If she feels the need to betray him, then she must have her justification." ”

After saying that, Russ walked out without looking back, his face was grim and his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't pay attention to the smugness on the corner of Red's mouth.

"Where are you going, Rasti, don't do anything stupid. No matter how much Red shouted from behind, Rasti didn't stop.

Night gradually covered the whole world, and Rasti, who had been busy all day, found a phone booth and dialed the familiar number.

"Hey, who is it?" came the old but still powerful voice of Old Paton on the other end of the phone.

Standing in the phone booth, Rasti hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I would rather say that it is your son, when I heard that this may not be true." ”

"I have nothing to say to you, Rasti. Old Paton was in a very calm mood, and he had no hope for this son.

"Nothing to say?" Rasti sneered and said, "The premise of saying this is that you used to have something to say to me, but I thought about it carefully, as if I never remembered that you and I had talked normally." I remember yelling at me, yelling at me, calling me stupid, beating me half to death, but never remembering that we had a conversation. ”

Rasti's voice choked as he spoke, but Old Paton on the other end of the line coldly smacked him.

"You don't remember, I do!" said Old Parton on the other end of the phone, with a calm face, "I remember we had a good heart-to-heart conversation once, it must have been when you were eighteen years old, and that was the first time you were locked up for some meaningless time of fighting, remember?"

Rasti thought hard, but he had no memory of what old Paton had said.
