Chapter 124 Interstate 10
The three of them were in their respective places. The three idiots in the living room were still arguing. One of them, Curly, waved a pistol and yelled, saying that they should kill those two now. Mother and daughter and so on.
"LAPD, raise your hands."
Jack and the others suddenly appeared and roared. Curly Hair, the only one holding a gun, was so frightened that he subconsciously wanted to resist and raised his pistol. His right hand was just halfway down.
“Bang!”
Curly Hair, who had a hole between his eyebrows, fell backwards on the sofa. The other two screamed and squatted down holding their heads.
At the same time, the front door of the house was violently smashed open, and a nervous Tim rushed in immediately. He was relieved to see that it was Jack who fired the gun.

Dividing line-——
It seems that he accidentally left his job early. In the Wilshire branch, Jack looked at the Cooper family who were holding their heads and crying. People, kind of scratching their heads.
He swore that he really wasn't on administrative leave when he fired the shot, but that's what happened.
Originally, there were still two weeks until he officially resigned, and he had saved up a week of vacation. As a result, he added a week of administrative leave. In other words, now he can happily take a vacation directly. to the official day of resignation.
Superintendent Gray is a bit dumbfounded. There have been too many personnel changes recently, and the new trainee police officers have not yet arrived. Now that Jack has left early, he still has to find a way to coordinate people from other branches to come and work overtime.
At the same time, Superintendent Anderson and his handover work have also entered the final stage. Seeing that his promotion is about to happen, he is extremely busy, which can be regarded as painful and happy. Fortunately, Tim has taken over part of his work, so that Gray can His face did not get darker and darker.
After returning home for a day's rest, Jack became a little restless. His original plan was to fly directly to Atlanta with Hannah in two weeks, meet up with the Wolfe brothers, and then go to that boring little place together. Town, find a way to get rid of the lair of a certain counterfeit banknote group.
As a result, he now had to do nothing for half a month, and he felt it was necessary to change his original plan.
Because just yesterday, his half-finished system was updated again, and this time the movement was quite big. He couldn't open the thing in his mind for a whole day, and it lasted for 24 hours. Just when Jack thought his golden finger was about to end, he finally received a notification that the update was successful.
It was this system update that made Jack determined to go out for a walk.
Just do it. After a routine visit to the Hunters the next day, Jack told Hannah his thoughts.
“I want to take a drive down Interstate 10.”
It was the first time for Hannah to enjoy someone's homemade luxury bathtub. She lazily leaned on Jack's arms and was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Interstate 10? You want to drive all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast?"
"Yeah, I've lived in LA for more than 20 years, except for flying to Chicago twice. , I have never driven out of the state, it is rare to have such a long vacation, and I want to go out and visit.”
Jack did a lot of guides during the day, and if he drove along Highway 10, he would visit many places along the way. It's quite fun, such as the Grand Canyon, the Mississippi River, Roswell, a small town famous for alien flying saucers, and Tombstone, which became the filming location for various Hollywood western movies due to a gun battle, etc.
Hannah's eyes showed a tangled look, "But I promised to accompany Angela to arrange her wedding. This is a war between her and Wesley's mother, and I must stand on her side."
The little man composed of Jack's index finger and middle finger wandered in the valley, sometimes climbing to the top of the mountain, and sometimes sliding down the hillside. After playing for a long time, he finally spoke.
"I will contact you before arriving in San Antonio, and then we will meet at the airport." Hannah turned over, pressed Jack's little man under the mountain, stared at him with scorching eyes, and waited for him to continue.
"You said that your parents are buried on your family's ranch. Why don't you take me to see it?"
Hannah hugged his neck excitedly , "Are you serious?"
"Well, this is not about preparing to propose. I will never propose to you before I am 30 years old."
Before he finished speaking, someone got a hard elbow on his chest.

Since receiving the bonus from the IRS, Jack has had a lot of money. Now that he has decided to go on the road alone, he is ready to Enough work must be done.
After a lot of shopping, the trunk of Jack’s Firebird, which was already small, was filled to the brim, and even the narrow back seat was filled with things.
As small as knives, compasses, fire sticks, sewing boxes, strong flashlights with solar charging, climbing ropes, and rigging, as large as tents, sleeping bags, plastic buckets, outdoor stoves, and small car repair tools. , I even bought a dozen thickened and largest size condoms.
It’s not that he expected an affair, but this thing has many additional uses, the most important of which is that it can be used to make a temporary waterproof bag.
Of course, since we are traveling in a southern state with simple folk customs, weapons must be prepared. Jack prepared three extra magazines and two boxes of ammunition for his FK7.5.
Hannah also gave him a foldable Raven crossbow. This thing is actually completely legal in the beautiful country. Jack tried firing it in his backyard, although he didn't click on the skills for the time being. come, but both the accuracy and power are quite satisfactory.
Finally, I spent half a day checking the baby Firebird sports car. After everything was ready, I set off on the road.
Jack chose Interstate 10 because it is the shortest east-west highway in North America, with a total length of more than 2,400 miles (less than 4,000 kilometers).
All the way from Santa Monica through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama to Jacksonville, Florida.
The biggest feature of this road is that it is straight and very easy to drive. Jack sat in the cab and looked forward. He could see that the road in front of him almost extended forward in a straight line, and finally disappeared in the Light blue sky.
Jack set off at ten in the morning. If he drove at a normal speed, he would be able to reach Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, by evening.
But he was in no hurry, and his first stop was Joshua Tree National Park, a natural park that spans two large deserts.
As we head east, the temperature gradually rises. More than an hour after leaving the city, passing the famous resort Palm Springs, a seemingly endless desert appears in front of us.
After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived at today’s destination, a natural park full of boulders and Joshua trees.
The so-called Joshua tree is actually a kind of yucca. Jack has seen it in his previous life in China. It looks a bit like sisal. It is taller than a person at most, but in its native North America, it can grow up to At 15 meters, the size is quite terrifying.
Unfortunately, it is already May, the flowering period has passed, and the beauty of the flowers cannot be seen. However, he did not come to see this thing, but to see the large and small boulders in the Mojave Desert. Come.
