Chapter 49 Every resource and connection has a use
Coming out of William Morris, Edward untied his tie and gasped for air, as if a drowning man had just come ashore.
Hoke asked for the car keys, got into the driver's seat, and waited for Edward to get into the passenger seat, and said, "You are responsible for finding professionals."
Edward nodded subconsciously, and then asked: " How many black people are there? What are the specific requirements? "
Hoke said: "They have a tight mouth, are more obedient, and have a fierce appearance."
"The last one is easy to handle. There are not many black people who are not fierce." Edward carefully recalled the homeless friends summoned by the angel: "If there are three people, I can pick them out."
He added a key point: "Boss, the prerequisite money is in place."
Hoke asked directly: "How much will the reward be?" Is it appropriate?”
Edward thought for a while and said, “For $200 per person, I guarantee that they will be more obedient than the kittens. If anyone dares to disobey, I will kick their butts!”
Hawke was surprised: "I remember you don't belong to a gang, how confident are you?"
Edward chuckled: "Remember the woman I mentioned to you? It's the Nicole I met when I was handing out business cards. I stayed in her house. She works at the rescue station. It is said that there are a lot of tricks there. I can Let her get stuck in the necks of those homeless people."
Hoke was impressed: "He is indeed the savior!"
Love. Dehua took off his tie and showed off: "When I hand out business cards, I keep a notebook of divorced women with children and good conditions, so I can attack them at any time."
Hoke gave him a thumbs up: "Man , one day I will go bankrupt and mess with you."
Edward chuckled: "You are the boss."
Hawke nodded slightly, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to make a call.
Edward asked: "Where is the woman?"
"Jacqueline." Hawke had already called and said: "It's me, Hawke, you haven't gone to work yet, right?" Come out and talk.”
On the other side, Jacqueline stretched: "You don't want to do business with me, do you? You didn't go through a broker, so you don't have to give him a commission. We are still acquaintances, so let's give it half the price."
Hoke ignored her words: "There is a new business. It will take up to one afternoon of your time, $500.”
Of course, Jacqueline would not miss such a generous extra money: "I'll see you at the same place in an hour."
Less than an hour later, Hawke saw Jacqueline.
This woman has no makeup and may have been working at night for a long time. Although she is young and has a good foundation, she has deep circles under her eyes.
Hoke explained the matter briefly and asked: "What are you doing?"
"Yes, why not!" Jacqueline also had doubts: "The place cannot be too remote, the poor people I definitely won’t go to a place like this. I’m afraid I’ll get picked on by a bunch of people. Well... you have to ensure my safety.”
Hawke said: "I will shoot around you then."
Jacqueline smiled: "For such a small thing, you gave me 500 US dollars, you are a generous boss."
< br>Hoke said: "Because you are professional enough."
Jacqueline was flattered: "This is the first time someone has praised me like this."
Hoke asked casually: "Yes Interested in changing jobs? ”
Jacqueline shook her head: "Not interested."
Edward interjected from the side: "It is more promising to start a business with us. I have seen too many people in your field. When they get old, they are no longer beautiful. "
Jacqueline has her own idea: "My working hours are concentrated in the evening. If you need it during the day, I can work part-time. , you can earn two jobs at the same time, why should you change jobs? We will talk about it when we get older.”
Hoke skipped the topic and said: “Keep your phone on during the day and don’t turn it on silent. , I may contact you at any time after 12 o'clock during the day."
Jacqueline yawned: "Remember, remember."
Leaving $200 as a deposit, Hawke left here, went to a coffee shop on the way, bought four glasses of iced Americano, and headed straight to West Los Angeles.
Edward couldn't understand: "Why buy four cups of coffee? Do you want to give my dear one? She works not far from here."
Hoke said: "Let's go West Los Angeles, visiting Police Officer Erica Ferguson, bought coffee for her and her partner."
"Wow, boss, you finally got the idea, you're going to pick up girls! "Edward shouted excitedly: "Do you need help? Do you need me to teach you my experience? I tell you, you will meet her for the first time in the LAPD patrol car. I guarantee she will never forget it..." Hawke interrupted him: "You can shut up. You are looking for her because of work needs. Her patrol area is located in West Los Angeles, including several streets."
Edward was furious: "It's a waste of resources, it's a shame to waste resources!"
Hoke sneered: "When we become rich, what girl won't be there? Looking for twenty at a time!"
Edward argued : "But you can't enjoy pure love."
Hoke was too lazy to say anything to him and drove into West Los Angeles.
He had already inquired about the area where Erica patrolled, walked around a few blocks, and found that 14th Street was very suitable.
There are not many people during the day, and it is a bit remote, but not too chaotic.
The Mondeo turned out of 14th Street, and Hawke saw the patrol car parked on the side of the road.
Erica and Julian, wearing dark police uniforms, were dealing with a street dispute.
The Hawker parked five meters behind the patrol car. He got out of the car with the ice cream. After waiting for the processing over there, he walked over slowly and said, "Julian, Erica."< br>
The latter stopped, raised his police hat, and responded: "Hoke, what a coincidence."
"Let's go this way. I remembered that this is your jurisdiction, so I bought a cup of coffee." Hawke gave each person a cup of coffee: "Ordinary iced American style, I don't know if it suits your taste."
Ai Rika took the lead and took over: "I like iced American style."
Hoke asked: "The media hasn't bothered you recently. Right?"
"My news enthusiasm is over." Erica shrugged playfully: "Reporters are like a group of sharks, always chasing new blood."
She realized that she said the wrong thing. , changed his words: "If there were more responsible reporters like you, Los Angeles would be less troubled."
"That's right." Julian is relatively introverted and doesn't talk much.
Hoke took the opportunity to say: "In two days, there will be a job to be done in your jurisdiction. A director friend and I tried to shoot a street short film. I just walked around, over there on 14th Street. "It's more appropriate."
Erica asked: "We don't have the position to clear the place temporarily?" Quan, you need to go to the city hall."
Hoke said: "There is no need to clear the scene, the time is very short, and the filming can be completed in ten minutes. The scene involves robbery and the like, and it is not suitable for police cars to appear."< br>
Erica said deliberately: "You don't really want to rob, do you?"
Hawke pointed at himself: "Do you think I am short of money?"
"Just kidding." For patrolling, this is a trivial matter. Erica thought for a moment and said: "When you are ready, call me. If Julian and I are nearby, temporarily adjust the patrol route and go first Other neighborhoods."
Hoke said: "Thank you."
Erica was very direct: "You're welcome, just treat me to dinner after that."
Huo. Ke responded immediately: "No problem, I will make an appointment with you when I finish this work."
Julian and Erica still had to work, chatted for a few more words, got in the patrol car and left.
In the car, Julian asked: "Are you interested in Hawke?"
Erica said: "Don't you think he is a very responsible person?"< br>
Julian was older, thought about it, and reminded: "He has a strong purpose in doing things."
Erica nodded: "This shows that he is ambitious."
Hawke secured the location and sent Edward to the aid station to find extras.
Let old gangsters do this job, there is no need to act at all.
Early the next morning, Edward took three old black men to the ranch park. Hawke had to undergo a series of training, and then went to rent a prop knife.
With a real knife, Hawke was afraid that the old gangsters would get mad and stab Johnson.
The film industry in Los Angeles is developed, and for just a little money, you can rent a knife that looks just like a real one.
