Chapter 157: Aftermath and Departure
“Is it done?” Walker stuck his head out of the cab of the pickup truck and asked.
“Jingle bells.”
Jack patted his pants pocket, and the copper bullet shells made a crisp collision sound inside. After throwing all the bodies into the pickup truck, he ran again He went back and picked up all the bullet casings he and Hannah shot, and also used branches to sweep away some obvious ruts.
Walker started the pickup truck filled with corpses and D items and drove into the depths of the desert. Jack followed closely in his F150. More than ten minutes later, the two vehicles drove into a small mountain valley. .
Not long after, Jack reappeared driving the F150. Walker sat in the passenger seat and looked blankly at the blazing fire behind him through the reflector.
"Aren't we polluting the environment a little by doing this? Are the animals nearby getting high tonight?"
Seeing Walker's silence, Jack made a little joke.
Walker forced a smile, "I just don't understand why Stan would do such a thing, and how many such people are hidden within us."
"I thought that in Texas No one will think about the reasons for these things, just kill them one by one," Jack teased with a smile.
"Liam also often said that I think too much. Maybe it's because I went to serve in the navy and stayed away from my hometown for too long? God knows, that kid is obviously the most unique one in our family. He became a doctor all through his own efforts. Lawyer, now an assistant prosecutor."
"Even if he later disclosed his sexual orientation, his parents didn't say much. God, they were so religious that they did it every week. I’m going to church to worship.”
Walker complained about his younger brother, but his tone was full of pride.
Jack has never had any brothers or sisters in his two lives. Listening to his Versailles, a thought arose in his mind: Should he also find opportunities to meet his relatives in this world, such as taking time to go to a A trip to Hawaii or something.
This thought just passed by for a moment, and soon the F150 returned to the scene of the accident, and Hannah was standing outside the car waiting anxiously.
"How is Emily?" Walker jumped out of the car and asked anxiously.
"She is fine and fell asleep, but the penetrating wound still needs further treatment."
Hannah opened the car door, and the two children in the car protected their mother between them, with expressions on their faces. Very worried.
"We can't go to the hospital. The gunshot wound is too obvious. Let's go home directly and see if we can find a doctor to come back and suture the wound."
Although Walker feels sorry for his wife, as an experienced doctor The mounted policeman knew exactly why Jack had just told Hannah to wait here.
"Leave it to me. Just ask Molly and Bonham to prepare medicines and sterilized needles and threads at home."
At the critical moment, the versatile little expert came online immediately, and Jack stepped forward to check on Amy. Jierui handled Li's wound well and blocked the bleeding point with gauze from the first aid kit. Coupled with his previous treatment, the blood loss was not serious.
"By the way, where's Jerry?" Jack looked up and looked around, but didn't find the beautiful female bar owner.
Hannah said from the side: "I asked her to drive her car back first. Our four cars were too conspicuous."
Walker assured confidently: "Jerry She is our best friend, and she is trustworthy." Of course, Jack would not worry blindly. You must know that Miss Jerry is the heroine in the original drama. He just reminded: "Remember to inform her that she is stained with blood. clothes burned.”
After that, Jack drove the Firebird and took the lead. Although there were no cameras on the roads in Texas, there was no guarantee that some crazy highway police would come out to look for trouble in the middle of the night.
In this way, if he is encountered, Jack will get a ticket, which is much better than Walker having his whereabouts exposed. It is already foreseeable what kind of disturbance will be caused when the news of Stan's disappearance comes out. The Department of Public Safety The person in charge is no ordinary little policeman.
Although he was very confident, even if the remains of the pickup truck that had been filled with gasoline and burned to the core and the bodies were discovered, even if the 'CSI' or Dr. Breonna's team took action, they would not be able to find out through clues. Clues lead to the Walker family.
But some people don’t know much evidence. Once that ‘Northern Country’ discovers that the Walker family has appeared nearby, there will be endless trouble waiting for them.
On the way back to the ranch, Jack was still wondering if there were any omissions, but the only thing he could think of was Emily's supply points. However, the nearby ruts had almost been removed. After a rain, nothing would happen. If you stay, you shouldn't have to worry about being associated with this.
If it was really that evil, he would have to find a way to send all the gangsters in the 'Northern Country' to meet God.
It was almost 2 a.m. when everyone returned to the Walker family ranch. Molly and Bonham were waiting at the gate of the villa early with lights on.
Emily, who had already woken up and had been enduring severe pain, was directly carried out of the car by Walker. Molly had already packed up a large table and put it on clean sheets and plastic sheets as a temporary operation. tower.
“What kind of wine do you like to drink?” Jack asked with a smile, holding needle and thread in his hand.
Emily glanced at her husband with some confusion.
"Whiskey, I'll get it." Walker responded quickly and took a whole bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet.
Under the dual effects of alcohol and acupuncture, Emily fell asleep again.
The so-called surgery is actually simply suturing wounds. Forensic doctors not only need to be able to dissect people but also sew people. Fortunately, no one knows that Jack's ability to suture wounds comes from forensic medicine skills.
“Don’t worry, the stitches will be removed after 3 days, and you’ll be fine in half a month at most.”
After hearing Jack's chest-beating assurance, the Walker family's nervous mood relaxed.
——
Dividing line——
The disappearance of a certain person indeed set off a storm as everyone expected, but this storm was unexpected. It turned in a strange direction.
The furious leader of the 'North Country' gang, Bill, directly issued a pursuit order to Stan, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, because all signs showed that this man brought his woman and tens of millions in goods. Disappeared into the desert.
Today, Walker is so busy that he can't even take care of his wife, who is still recovering from her injuries. All Texas Mounted Police, with a total of less than 200 people, have been mobilized.
They will lead the state police to find the whereabouts of their superior on the one hand, and on the other hand, they will attack with all their strength the "North Country" gangster who has committed a massacre and tried to challenge the authority of the Texas police.
The Texas police, who were ‘united as one’, even directly rejected the FBI’s intervention, determined to restore their dignity.
When they got this 'good news', Jack and Hannah had already set off again, driving the Firebird and entering Louisiana with the equipment provided by Walker.
