The area bordering West Los Angeles and Santa Monica, Wilshere Street.

In a single-family villa facing the street, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out, and the shouts of a man and a woman reached the neighbor's house.

With the sound of smashing things, Miller Collins was kicked out of the house by his wife.

His wife Maria shouted that she wanted to divorce him and let him die.

With his daughter still at home, Miller Collins had no choice but to get in the car and go out. Feeling irritated, he simply went to a nearby bar to drink.

When people are unlucky, they will only become more unlucky.

In the small bar, "Midnight Entertainment" was played on the large-screen TV, and Miller instantly became the focus of the audience.

The gay man burst out laughing, and someone asked him loudly how he felt.

He covered his face with his hands, ran out of the bar, and drove away like crazy.

If God closes the door for you, he will definitely seal the window for you again.

Miller was detained by the LAPD and sent for an alcohol test. He was then convicted of drunk driving and was temporarily detained.

“Judging from the video footage, the person standing in the swimming pool is undoubtedly San Diego wide receiver Miller Collins.”

On the TV, "Midnight Entertainment" was broadcasting the video captured by Eric himself, and host Megan Taylor was still doing voiceover interpretation.

When Miller, who had lowered his head, raised his head and stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, she was slightly surprised: "Did he...eat all of it?"

In the West Coast studio, there was a sound. A hearty laugh.

Hoke raised the can in his hand and said, "Congratulations on our news making the headlines again."

Edward, Eric and Frank clinked their glasses with him and drank together.

Eric looked at the close-up of Miller Collins on TV, and the suffocation in his heart disappeared without a trace. He was very happy for a while, drank half a can of beer, and some thoughts couldn't stop popping up like an erupting volcano. Come.

“Guys, guys, listen to me!” He stood up and danced: “I already have the inspiration for the next work. This time I actually experience life and open up all the artistic cells in my body. "

Frank said: "You don't want to adapt this incident into a movie, do you?"

Eric pointed out. Pointing to Hawke and Edward: "Their work is ordinary yet exciting, and they are born to be movie protagonists. I must use Hawke as the prototype to adapt a movie. This is my mission as a director!"

Hoke laughed and said: "You can use me as a prototype, but don't mention my name on any occasion."

Eric asked: "Don't you want the royalties?"

Hoke said: "By the time you adapt this movie, maybe I won't need the money."
< br>Eric did not force himself: "I listen to you."

Edward reminded: "The news is here again."

"Midnight Entertainment" played the surveillance video.

"After the special reporter who provided us with news shot the previous video, his studio was invaded. Four thieves searched for worthless CDs and videotapes. However, the LAPD arrived in time and the four were arrested on the spot. , onlookers at the scene heard it One of them shouted, saying that the studio had offended a big shot in the sports world. "

The video of Miller drinking milk was shown earlier, and as soon as the surveillance video and Megan's voiceover came out, anyone with any brains, They all think of Miller Collins.

After the surveillance video was played, the screen switched back to the studio.

Megan said: "We contacted Chief Lucio of the West Los Angeles Police Department who was responsible for the case."

Chief Lucio occupied half of the TV screen, and as Megan question and said: "All four thieves have criminal records. After interrogation, their identities have been determined. All four of them are from the white gang organization El Chapo..."

After the connection ended, the screen turned and a picture of a newspaper clipping appeared.

Meghan added: "In the past few years, there have been media reports that Miller Collins is involved with the El Chapo Gang."

There are more than one newspaper clippings, constantly changing, to prove this statement Not empty.

There is even a reply from Miller Collins. He has defended in the media that the reason why he was photographed in contact with a member of the El Chapo Gang was because he and that person were childhood friends. It was purely personal. friendship.

At the end of this program, Megan Taylor specifically mentioned the topic of celebrities and crime.

The dead Robert Downey Jr. was dragged out and whipped to death.

The program is very effective.

"Celebrities and crime, this topic is inherently hot." Frank put down the can and said: "This woman does good news, she is capable and ambitious."

Hoke told the truth: "She is also very courageous. I feel like she wants to switch to social and current affairs."
The show ended and Frank was about to leave. He took a bag, threw the empty can on the table into it, and said: "Want to go up? I haven't understood the inside of Channel 11 for many years, but if Roger E. If Errs intervenes, haha... That will be troublesome." Hawke understood what this meant.

Edward hated Frank's pretense the most. He drank all the wine in the can and deliberately threw it to Frank: "Take it and sell it, you're welcome."

Frank was choked and said anything. If he didn't come out, he packed up the empty can and carried it away.

Hoke turned off the TV and handed the reloaded Taser to Edward: "You will sleep down here tonight. Will this thing work?"

"It will work." Edward looked at Eric and said angrily: "Why am I sleeping down there?"

Hawke said directly: "Change into black clothes and make a black floor in the dark. If someone attacks us, we won't be able to find you."

Edward was about to cry: "I have dark skin and I have to stand in front. . ”

Hoke took out his Glock pistol, took another magazine, and went upstairs to sleep.

Eric was happy tonight and drank too much. Edward sent him upstairs to lie on his side before coming back to change into black clothes and black pants.
