Chapter 429 Rhett's Spring (7)
"I like this job, really." John said, taking a puff of his cigar.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the beach is even more beautiful. Jack and John each have a deck chair, facing the group of shivering handsome men and beauties on the beach who are frozen like quails.
“You know? When I was in college, I almost followed a talent scout to break into Hollywood. He said that there was a role in "Saving Private Ryan" directed by the great director Spielberg that was very suitable for me. ”
John showed off triumphantly.
"Are you asked to play the role of the saved Private Ryan?" Jack glanced at him with a subtle look.
John was greatly surprised, "Well, you almost guessed it. In fact, it's very close. It's another Ryan with the same name and surname as the Ryan that the protagonists are looking for in the play. He also has a lot of roles."
“Wow.” Jack exclaimed in fake surprise. The integration of this world was so interesting. Isn’t this the experience of the actor who played John in the original world?
"So, do you regret it?" Jack asked.
"Not at all, I am very satisfied with my current life. Jialisi said that she wants to have a child with me." John's answer was firm.
"Wow!" Jack was really surprised this time, "I remember you said that you and your ex-wife's son is about the same age as me, right?"
John touched his head in embarrassment, " We haven't made a final decision yet. You know, Jialisi is only one year younger than me, so the risk of pregnancy is still quite high."
"Leave it to me, uh, I mean, I can do it. Help, uh, no, I mean I can take care of Jia Lisi’s body and prepare for pregnancy.”
Under John’s unkind gaze, Jack almost choked to death on his own saliva.
The shooting in the distance seemed to have come to an end for the time being. Laila was wrapped in a thick bathrobe and walked back. Rhett, who was standing by, quickly handed over the steaming coffee.
"Did you teach this trick?" John pursed his lips in their direction.
Jack shrugged, "What else?"
He helped make the coffee. It definitely tasted good, so there was no need to gargle with Coke.
Of course, he can only help so far. Rhett is just too precocious and lacks experience in interacting with members of the opposite sex of the same age. After all, a normal person must graduate from high school at the age of 18, and the earliest he has to be is 16.
For a 12-year-old high school graduate, it's pretty good to not be severely bullied in high school. Don't expect to have a Norman experience.
So Rhett is not low in emotional intelligence. On the contrary, as a psychological expert, what he is good at is insight into people's hearts. If he had not clearly received the positive emotional feedback from Laila, he would have protected himself long ago.
Of course, Jack's little tricks only stop here. This kind of thing is only limited to helping the horse, and there is no way to drive for him. The subsequent development is their own business and has nothing to do with others.
"Hi, thank you for your hard work." The two chatted a few words not far away, and Laila walked towards Jack and John and thanked them politely.
"This is our job." John stood up and put out the almost smoked cigar.
“It’s time for me to change my shift too.”
He rotated with another patrol officer, one inside and one outside, and now it was his turn to patrol the outside of the beach.
“The director heard about me, and he moved my last scene to the next scene, which means that my work can be completed ahead of schedule tonight.”
Laila looked pleased.
Jack glanced at the time. It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening. According to his previous observations, if a scene goes well, it will take about two or three hours from preparation to completion, which means that it will not be until the early morning at most. At 3 o'clock, Laila can call it a day. He nodded and said he understood, "We will send you home after it's over. You may have to stay at home for a few days, but it won't be long. My colleagues and I will be able to find the suspect soon." .”
Just as Jack thought, the filming ended before dawn. John drove the police car ahead. He drove his "Mammoth" like a full-time driver and sent Lila and Red to a hotel in West Hollywood. Located in a community built on the hills.
Laila's villa is not big, but the decoration is very modern, and the surrounding environment is also very good. There is a heated infinity swimming pool in the south-facing backyard, where you can look at the brightly lit city night view.
Unfortunately, the sky was getting brighter now. Jack just walked around the backyard and marked a few points. There were several big trees there that were higher than the courtyard wall and needed to be focused on.
After checking the house to confirm it was safe, John and his colleagues returned to the police car outside. Their work was not yet completed and they needed to stay here 24 hours a day, but another police car would arrive later. replace them.
“Great house.”
Jack walked back into the living room and complimented.
“Mike also rented this for me. I had just come to Hollywood from Houston not long ago, and my income was not stable. I still remember that Mike was in this living room and spent a long time with the agent.”
Laila smiled and said, "He is really nice to me, just like family."
Jack started to like this girl a little bit. She has a straightforward temperament, outgoing and cheerful, and Rhett's Their personalities just complement each other.
"Would you like something to drink? Earl Gray tea or chrysanthemum tea?" Laila returned home and seemed to relax all of a sudden. She walked into the kitchen and used an electric kettle to boil water.
"Oh, thank you for the black tea." Jack said and walked to Red. He seemed to be attracted by a painting on the wall of the living room as soon as he entered the door.
“What is this?”
“It looks like a splicing of many photos.” Rhett thought thoughtfully.
“Aha, I like this kind of art very much, it’s like life, hazy and difficult.” Laila walked out of the kitchen and started to tidy up the sofa in the living room again.
"Just pack one for Rhett. He will stay with you and I will leave right away." Before Jack could finish his words, the phone rang.
"Jack, help!" The call came from Garcia, his voice panicking.
"Calm down, Garcia, what happened?" Jack was startled and quickly walked out of the door and stood under the porch.
"Emily, Emily was just shot! And Laila's manager, they were just sent to the central hospital."
The call with Garcia has not been hung up yet After a while, John also walked out of the police car parked outside with his mobile phone.
"Jack, Jia Lisi called me and said that your friend was sent to the hospital, but it was nothing serious. She was wearing a bulletproof vest and the bullet did not penetrate."
John's wife, Jia LiSi, is the head of the emergency room of the Central Hospital and is an acquaintance of Emily.
"OK, Garcia, don't be nervous. My friends at the hospital said there is nothing wrong with Emily. Inform Rosie and the others and we will meet at the hospital."
Jack hung up the phone and said Asked John, "How is the other person's injury?"
John picked up the phone and said a few more words before replying, "The bullet hit the collarbone, there was some excessive blood loss, but it was not life-threatening. ”
