She clenched her little hands and looked at everyone with an apologetic look.

The intense discussion among a group of people just now, as well as the sirens ringing outside from time to time, made her realize the seriousness of the problem.

"come on."

Ethan held her hand and patted it gently: "Be good and I will buy you a gift later."

"Really?" Debbie's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Of course." Ethan pinched her nose and said with a smile, "This is my guarantee."

For Debbie to do such a thing, in the eyes of others, there must be something seriously wrong with her brain.

Of course, Ethan felt the same more or less.

But more importantly, it was the lack of family love that made her do this.

While the Gallagher family was busy trying to survive, Debbie's emotional needs were ignored by everyone.

As Debbie said, she just needed a friend.

Things had been clearly explained, and a group of people went out one after another.

Seeing Fiona's worried look, Ethan stepped forward and hugged her:

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

"I'm worried about Debbie." Fiona hugged Ethan tightly and whispered, "Until now, she hasn't said she's sorry."

"Plus, she has to take Casey back alone later."

"I'm worried that something will happen to her."

"As long as she knows what she did wrong, there are some things that don't need to be said." Ethan kissed her on the forehead:

"Don't worry, Debbie is a smart girl."

"Really?" Fiona didn't even confirm this herself. She said with a wry smile: "I hope so."

Get in the car and take Fiona and Casey to the agreed place.

Not long after waiting, Lip appeared from a distance with Liam in his arms and Debbie beside him.

"Be careful."

Ethan glanced back at the stroller and gave Fiona an instruction.

"knew."

There was no one around, so Fiona quickly got out of the car.

She opened the side door and took the stroller out. Casey was lying inside, covered tightly.

Later, they would switch Kathy and Liam over. Fiona walked around the street openly twice, letting the surveillance camera capture that she was taking a black child, and then went to Jackson's house.

Later, when Debbie acted, Yulip was nearby watching her.

Seeing several people converging, Ethan turned the steering wheel.

I still need to wait at the crime scene in the morning, and I can see police cars passing by from time to time.

If it weren't for their own car, it would be really hard for them to change the situation.

When I was almost there, I saw two acquaintances at the intersection.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Ethan slowed down the car and lowered the window.

"Hi."

Burgess, who was leaning on the patrol car, quickly stood up: "The bureau has arranged for us to maintain order here."

"You know, the disappearance case."

"Okay." Ethan reached behind the chair and fiddled with it with difficulty: "Thank you for your hard work."

Two bags of bread flew out of the car, and then quickly turned and left.

After hurriedly taking the things, Burgess looked at the taillights of the Ford Interceptor and was stunned for a while.

It was almost noon, and Burgess's stomach was empty. All his lunch money had been donated, and the bread came at the right time.

She stopped thinking about it and gave Atwater a bag.

Anyway, Ethan is like a treasure chest, and he usually gets them some delicious food from time to time.

"I'm starving to death." Atwater next to him tore open the bread, buried his face in the bag and took a deep breath of the aroma, then asked, "You have to tell me what happened?"

"Um?"

Burgess tore off a small piece of bread and blinked.

"Please, we are partners." Atwater said while chewing the bread: "You think you can hide it from me?"

"What's going on with you and Detective Morgan?"

"When you bumped into him in the lobby in the morning, he was like a little girl freaking out at the dance."

"Look, when it comes to Detective Morgan."

Atwater pointed at Burgess and said, "Your expression is wrong, very wrong."

"All right!"

Burgess scratched his head: "Do you remember the night before I took administrative leave?"

"Hmm." Atwater nodded:

"I wanted to talk to you, but you said you weren't free. What's wrong?"

"Ethan and I were at Morley's Bar that night." Burgess looked at the ground, picking at a pebble with his boot: "After we walked out of the bar, I made out with him a little bit."

"Shet, girl!"

Atwater made a black question mark face: "You are too cunning."

"Didn't we make an agreement to compete fairly to join the intelligence team?"

"Hey, it's not what you think." Burgess quickly defended: "I don't know what happened, it just happened."

"Okay!" Atwater shrugged: "Do you allow me to tell the truth?"

"Of course." Burgess took a big bite of bread: "But if I don't like it, you have to allow me to kick your ass."

"Well, that's fair."

Atwater took out two bottles of water from the car and touched Burgess on the shoulder:

"The truth is, if your plan is to enter the intelligence team through beauty, Detective Morgan is a suitable candidate. He has a very good relationship with Chief Boibo."

"He's also handsome, so it was the right choice."

The two looked at each other, and Burgess gritted his teeth.

"I'm just kidding." Atwater quickly smiled and held Burgess' shoulders: "Please, don't do this."

"You bastard."

Burgess punched him directly on the shoulder: "You know I'm not that kind of person."

"OK, OK!"

Atwater rubbed his shoulders quickly: "It was just a joke."

"correct."

He smiled curiously: "What's behind, are you two there?"

"No." Burgess glared at him and shook his head slowly: "I pushed him away and drove away."

"What?"

Atwater spread his hands: "This is not what I want to hear. It's too boring."

"I haven't said the most important thing yet."

Burgess kicked the stone away and said angrily: "I kissed him."

"puff!"

Atwater just drank the mineral water in his mouth and gushed out. He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth:

"Waterfa? Did I hear you correctly?"

"You took the initiative to kiss the most handsome detective in our police department besides me."

"Then you drove away by yourself."

"Hahaha!"

He bent down with a smile: "Girl, why didn't I realize that you are so cruel?"

"I bought it."

He kept shaking his head and said, "Officer Morgan just gave us bread to share."

"Haha, if I were him, I would be furious."

Burgess became angry and chased Atwater, punching him. The two circled the patrol car twice, and they did not stop until a vehicle passed by.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."

Atwater raised his hands, grinned and said, "It's just that I don't understand why you would do such a thing?"

"I don't know either, okay!"

Burgess sat back in the police car angrily, his eyes blank.

Seeing that there were patrol officers on duty, Ethan simply walked around a few times and showed Fiona the places where there were people.

It wasn't until he received her confirmation text message that he stopped in front of Jackson's house.

Roll down the window and light a cigarette.

Now everything was ready, just waiting for Debbie to cross the alley and bring Kathy back.

Just after smoking half a cigarette, Fiona appeared in sight.

She pushed the stroller, gave Ethan a thumbs up calmly, and looked curiously at the house next to her.

Arriving at the front yard of Jackson's house, she carried Liam up the steps.
