America 1982

"So, should we smash your ass and drag you to American territorial waters, or should you go away on your own, Canada? Or you want to try a small-scale maritime war between the United States and Canada. Which side is the crap between the U.S. Coast Guard and the Canadian Coast Guard? Are you coming faster?" Then, Rocco Wadman, who has been out at sea all year round and is accustomed to such scenes, took over the voice of Colin Hawke and shouted to the other party with a megaphone.

Colin Hawke, carrying a double-barreled shotgun, followed by several of his co-workers and partners, emerged from the deck at this moment.

Faced with the current situation, the Canadian fishing boat Augusta did not hesitate and turned around obediently to leave. After all, Rocco Wadman's K.K.S was close to it at the moment. If there was a real conflict, it would not be able to take advantage, but it was just I want to take the opportunity to intimidate and take advantage, not to make my own ship cheaper for the Americans.

"Wise choice, Canada." Seeing the other party turn around and leave, Rocco Wadman said coldly.

Tommy originally looked at the K.K.S. with an ugly expression, but as the ship got closer and closer, and saw the vague cargo piled on the ship, his expression slowly changed from gloomy to stunned.

"You seem to have a strange look on your face when you see me, son." Colin Hawke said with a smile as he threw the cable towards Tommy.

Tommy took the cable and fixed it, and the two boats slowly came closer together. Before the steps could be laid, Colin Hawke jumped from the KKS to Tommy's side.

"You haven't had time to go to Canada yet?" Tommy Hawke asked his father with an expression of surprise when he saw clearly the mountains of cigarettes piled up on the ship.

As long as the goods are still on the ship and on the high seas at this moment, it doesn't matter even if the coast guard anti-smuggling teams of the United States and Canada appear in full force and surround them. The worst they can do is tell them that their father picked up a batch of cigarettes on the ship and is about to hand them over. Give it to them, or throw them all into the sea if they are in a bad mood. They can only watch helplessly. They dare to board a ship on the high seas with no law enforcement rights to stop them. Unless the coast guard decides to kill everyone and take away some cigarettes, otherwise they will Just gave Dad the chance to blackmail the government legally.

Colin Hawke shook his head: "According to the original plan, we should have arrived in Canada by now, but I always remember what I said to you that night, you are still a child, Tommy, you can be unscrupulous before you go to college. The premise for you to be unscrupulous is that your father is by your side to take care of you. I can't let my son have any problems when he is an unscrupulous child, so..."

"So you've been sailing your boat out to sea, and we've been right next to you, escorting your boat like we were escorting Ronald Reagan, like bodyguards to the president, boy! F*ck You, Colin, stop talking. To be honest, you haven't done anything since you boarded the ship! But you ate the most food and drank the most wine!" Mr. Wilson, with a beard on his face, came over at this moment, reinforcing the ship's planking, and at the same time said to Tommy -Hawke said: "You are really fucking college material, Tommy. This is the first time I know that you don't have to worry about going to jail for selling so much contraband. You know, before I just stole a few tires from Rogers' house." Even when I sold it to a car repair shop, the police came to visit me, so well done!"

"Members of the Hawke family have always been wise men full of wisdom. This is a gift, Wilson!" Colin Hawke heard Wilson's praise of his son and said with pride: "Tommy and I are exactly the same, remember, I was once the person who knew the most words among you. This is the inherited wisdom of the Hawke family, which lasts forever, otherwise the union would not send me to continue to lead you after you lose your job."

The bald Mr. Morin was carrying a whiskey bottle and staggering over on the plank of the boat: "Shut up, Colin, the gap between your shit plan and Tommy's plan is like your a** The gap between the length and the length of my vagina! The difference is as far as the Eiffel Tower! You even proposed that we go to the New York City Hall to sell smuggled cigarettes to smokers who protested against the increase in cigarette prices! Damn it! If we go according to your plan, Wilson and his unlucky relative will be squatting in a single room of the New York Police Department to help the police kill us!"

When Maureen passed by Tommy, she didn't forget to pat Tommy on the shoulder: "Well done, boy from the Hawk family!"

"So you are not going to continue taking the risk to Canada? Mr. Morin? Mr. Wilson?" Seeing the reactions of several people, Tommy asked Maureen and Wilson loudly with increasing surprise.

Maureen took a sip of wine, turned to look at Tommy, and shrugged: "Of course I won't go. We are American poor people, not fucking American idiots? Did I just praise you, Tommy? I take it back. It’s a compliment, you didn’t need to ask such a retarded question, it’s obvious that you need to stay away from me, you’ve only been in contact with him for two fucking minutes, and your IQ has already plummeted like an airplane crash.”

"Really?" Tommy Hawke looked at his father in disbelief: "You won't go to Canada? Mr. Morin and the others will actually agree?"

Colin Hawke smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, no one wants to send themselves to prison. Maureen said, they are not fools, not to mention I am the major shareholder of this deal, only Thomas can treat me The decision has generated some threats, but that guy can only abstain from voting now, so any nonsense said by these small shareholders does not need to be considered. Anyone who objects will throw his goods into the sea and let him swim to Canada for trading."

"So, you can accept the low price and sell it here..." Tommy felt at this moment that Alida must be in heaven blessing his family, and there is no better outcome than this.

Colin Hawke nodded after his son's words, looked around and said, "Yes, right here, sell it to these three lucky Italians at the price you negotiated."

"Why, I'm very grateful to you for making this wise decision, dad, from the bottom of my heart, but why?" Tommy asked his dad with unconcealed joy in his eyes.

His father actually resisted the temptation of huge amounts of money? Didn't go to Canada to make more money just to bring Bethea back as soon as possible?

Colin Hawke shrugged, lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds. Then he raised his head and looked directly at his son. He smiled and said: "The Hawke family is about to have its first college student. Did you know that this time there happened to be a college student on board?" From what he said, it seemed like it was a good university. I chatted with him about it, and he told me seriously that if you don’t want your child to be treated like trash in college, it’s best not to get into trouble for him. He said My son is very smart and can think of doing business safely on the high seas of Canada. The reason why he does this is that he will not violate any laws. I think this is the reason why I am not going to continue to St. John, Canada. Of course I have to adopt this option. I can’t make money without any troublesome plans. I can’t send myself and a few idiot-like friends around me to a Canadian prison just to take risks and make a little more money, and let my hard-working and smart son be raped. Treated like crap in college.”

"Honestly, I didn't expect this to be the case... I've thought about a lot of bad situations, worse, couldn't be worse..." After hearing what Colin Hawke said, Tommy Hawke felt a little uncomfortable. , looking steadily at the man in front of him, even at this moment he didn't know what to say.

He has been mentally prepared to accept the worst situation, and has determined in his heart that the worst situation will definitely happen, but now, he doesn't have to worry.

At this moment, his father's unshaven face had an indifferent smile, and he touched his head with his rough palms, his eyes gentle.

"Remember what I didn't finish when we came back from visiting Bethea? Tony interrupted me. He was afraid that I would accidentally say it and make you suspicious. In fact... I want to say that if your mother is still alive, she So smart, he would have reminded me in time a long time ago, instead of waiting for me to realize it after so long. I said to myself, Colin, what you should do now is not prepare a card for Tommy The check is not to bring back the money for Bethea, but to find Tommy first and say to him: I'm sorry, son, for keeping you waiting outside for so long before I think of you. Now, daddy will take you home. "

Under the boundless starry sky, Colin Hawke put his hands on Tommy's shoulders, gently pressed his forehead against his son's forehead, and said softly:

"I cannot lose my son because I need money to bring back my daughter. Money is important, but family comes first."
