The man in the jacket took a few steps forward and stood in front of the half-meter-high barbed wire fence. After confirming that he had recognized the wrong person, he said: "I am Bruce, a subordinate of Boss Vincent."
Martin was recalling the details of the loan shark and asked: "What's the matter?"
Bruce put his hands on the old barbed wire: "I heard that the old bastard Jack Davis ran away. The boss asked me to inform you, don't forget the debt you borrowed. The first installment is due next week."
The debt was borrowed by the predecessor Martin Davis himself, and Martin could only bite the bullet to deal with it: "It's not overdue yet. Period
"A friendly reminder, you get ready." Bruce retracted his hand, patted off the rust on it, grabbed the belt and pulled up his pants, and the jacket was split to both sides, revealing the pistol under his armpit.
He smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Beast House is full of civilized people, and the boss has always taught us to abide by the law.
Martin glanced at the pistol, and the first thought that came to his mind was to run away.
The normal operation of not being able to pay back the debt is not to sell yourself, but to run away.
But how to run away without money?
Martin remembered what Elena said and asked: "Dude, do the gigolos in the Beast House make a lot of money?"
He remembered that being a gigolo was a legal profession, and he could earn money to support himself, which was not shabby.
"If you're lucky, you can get a lot of tips every night." Bruce looked at Martin carefully. He was well-proportioned and good-looking. He smiled more honestly: "The Beast House has just opened and is in need of people. You know the place. If you want to be a gigolo, just go there. You have good conditions. The hungry and crazy middle-aged women like you the most. Dude, you can make a lot of money."
Can you be an alternative? Martin said vaguely: "I'll think about it.
Bruce got in the car and left.
There was a sound from the yard next door. Hall-Carter, the little brat, was still digging a hole.
Martin was going to ask the house repairer for salary to solve the imminent problem of eating. Although soft rice is delicious, if you eat it for a long time, you will have nothing to eat in the future.
After careful recollection, the office of Max, a house repairer, is a bit far from Clayton Community. It takes a long time to walk there. His leg injury has not healed yet, so he cannot walk too long continuously. If the injury worsens, it will cost more money.
He can only take the bus.
Atlanta's public transportation is very bad, but there is a bus that goes directly from Clayton Community to the street where Max's office is located. The one-way ticket costs 50 cents.
Martin took out his wallet, which was empty. Harris bought him medicine for the wound with the remaining money.
Dr. Bill only prescribed veterinary medicine, and Martin didn't dare to take it even if it was given to him for free.
Looking at the next door, Martin gave up the idea of robbing the kid and went back to the house to look for it. He only found a 25-cent coin.
Martin remembered that Elena's father Scott opened a grocery store and collected both stolen goods and scraps. He couldn't help but look at the wooden house.
There were only the most basic old sofas, low wooden tables and broken wooden beds. The slightly valuable furniture and appliances had long been moved away by the Carter family for money.
The remaining items were not only broken, but also very heavy.
Martin had an injury on his leg, so it was unrealistic to carry the sofa and table to sell. He took out a pair of pliers with broken insulation from the drawer of the low wooden table, went to the side of the yard close to the Carter family, cut the rusty wire mesh, and rolled it up.
The wire mesh had many sharp ends that were broken, making it inconvenient to pick up. Martin returned to the house and searched for a while, and found a rope under the bed.
"Can I sell the Carter's wire mesh to Scott Carter?" Martin thought it was not a big problem. Many houses in the community had similar fences.
A scream suddenly came from next door, and it sounded like Harris.
Martin hurried out and walked quickly towards Carter's house.
In the yard of Carter's house, a bicycle was tilted to the ground. There was a pit next to the front wheel, and fine soil was falling into the pit along the collapsed cardboard.
Harris sat on the ground, holding his arm, and tears flowed out of his eyes in pain.
Hall-Carter, who was only ten years old, stood in front of him and mocked: "Waste, get up quickly, don't be a soft egg!" Harris shouted angrily: "Shut up, i***t! There is a 90% probability that my left hand is broken!"
Hall's tone was a little weaker: "I was just joking with you and set a little trap. You are too soft...
When Martin was a stuntman, he saw someone's forearm fracture. After he arrived, he took a closer look and said: "Damn it!" Harris's head was full of sweat due to the pain.
Hall felt guilty, stepped back, and sat on the ground.
Seeing that Harris had no other injuries, Martin said: "You need treatment. I'll take you to see Dr. Bill. You said he has excellent medical skills."
Harris' face was full of horror: "Bill can't cure fractures. If I go to him for treatment, the probability of me becoming disabled is as high as 100%.
The Carter family will get an extra disability subsidy!" Martin added a timely reminder: "Don't move your left arm."
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, the door creaked open, and fourteen-year-old Lily Carter ran out and asked: "What did you two idiots do? Hall, how did this damn pit come about? Did you send the earth?
Martin interrupted her: "Go and inform your sister, Harris broke his arm.
"I'm going to borrow a mobile phone from Mrs. Wood." Lily ran diagonally across the street.
Martin deliberately spoke to distract Harris: "You're back so soon?"
Harris gritted his teeth and said: "The Cole sisters are temporarily busy and are not at home.
A few minutes later, Lily ran back with a cell phone and said, "Elena borrowed a car and is on her way back."
Hearing Elena's name, Hall supported himself on the ground with both hands and rubbed his butt backwards little by little, trying to get away.
Elena's part-time job was not far away, so she drove back quickly.
She was in a hurry to come back, and she didn't even change her pants when she was dressed as a Teddy bear doll.
After discovering Harris's situation, Elena took out her wallet to check the money first, and took out a few $1 and $5 bills, and two $20 bills, and was so anxious that she turned around: "Don't worry, I'll find a way, I can think of a way! There must be a way!"
Martin had just eaten a week of free meals, and patted her shoulder: "Give me the car keys.
Elena subconsciously handed over the car keys.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get the money. , "Martin took the key and walked towards the car.
Lily Carter suddenly caught up and stuffed the borrowed mobile phone to Martin: "You fight, if we can't pay back the money, you can always find Elena...
Her longest finger stretched out, retreated, and stretched out again.
Martin pressed Lily's forehead and pushed her away,
Getting in the car, he familiarized himself with the gears, recalled, started the car and drove out of the Clayton community, rushing south.
Max's office is located on the edge of Marietta's business district. There is a section of road with Clayton's block that has been damaged for a long time and is bumpy, so the speed cannot be increased.
It took half an hour for Martin to arrive in front of a four-story office building, park the car and enter the building, go up to the second floor and find an office with a Max Repair Company sign.
Knocking on the door, a burly Latin man asked: "What do you want?" Martin replied: "I am Mr. Max's worker, and I want to ask him about work. The blinds of the inner office were opened, and someone said: "Martin, come in.
Martin entered the inner office and quickly scanned the windows, shelves and desks. There were many teddy bears of different sizes.
Even the two family photos on the desk were with a large-sized Teddy Bear as the background. The four people standing in the photos were full of happy smiles.
A warm and harmonious family, a family that likes Teddy Bear:
People who are good at making money and have sharp observation skills, Martin also found something else,
There were a few white powders scattered on the edge of the pile of documents on the wooden desk. Max, who was middle-aged, liked to twitch his nose. A few nose hairs growing out of his nostrils were stained with almost undetectable white, and the eyes above his big nose were red and bloodshot.
Martin Davis, who came from the bottom of the society, had seen too many similar people, such as Scott Carter and Emma Carter.
Max was a little excited and asked: "Is your injury healed?"
Martin said: "My head has been heavy and hurts from time to time, and my legs are also hurting.
"You come to ask for salary, I understand. "Max opened the large drawer in the middle, took out a cash check and pushed it to Martin: "This is yours.
