American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1294 Reese's Dream

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't know that Reese had such a bad opinion of Finch after he first met him.

Seeing that he remained silent, Reese thought he didn't believe it, so he continued to explain, "The guy who calls himself Mr. Finch said that he has a predetermined list or something like that, and everyone who appears on it will be involved in some dangerous incidents in the near future, such as murder or kidnapping.

Then he took me to the courthouse entrance and pointed to the woman who had just left there and said, her name is Diane Hansen, and she was the first on the list that week.

"So you believe him?" Jack asked as he lowered the car window a little to dissipate the smell. He wrote down on tomorrow's to-do list to give the interior of the sports car, especially the passenger seat, a deep clean.

Reese was unaware of this. Months of homelessness had desensitized him to the strange smell on his body. "I didn't believe it at first. I thought the woman might be his ex-wife, or a woman he had sex with in the elevator one day.

But since you found me first."

He glanced sideways at Jack who was driving, "You don't think he's a lunatic?"

"That depends on how you define the word 'madman'." Jack sighed inexplicably, "What he told you should be true, but what he wants to do is quite crazy and unreasonable to many people."

As a CIA agent, Reese was surprisingly receptive to this kind of thing. He just nodded slightly when he heard it. "He wants to hire me to investigate and prevent possible tragedies. He also said that the price is up to you. He is really a rich man with nothing to do."

Although the words were a bit vulgar, this evaluation seemed to be much better than the previous one, and Jack laughed secretly in his heart.

"So this is what you want me to do for you? Work for that rich guy and secretly investigate him for you?" Reese felt that he had found the answer.

Unfortunately, Jack's answer still surprised him, "No, I hope what you have done has been done." As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel and the sports car drove into the ramp leaving the highway.

In the surprised look from Reese, Jack continued, "I hope you don't mind, but due to some accidental factors, I found out something about you, about Jessica. I'm sorry."

Reese responded to this by remaining silent and turning his head to look out the window.

Someone who had a lot of bad intentions and had already made a series of arrangements tried hard not to show any strangeness on his face and continued to speak of his arrangements in a calm tone.

"Perhaps you have never considered me a friend, so I have no right to persuade you. I just hope you can accept my kindness. I have a safe house where you can clean yourself up.

There will be a surprise waiting for you tomorrow morning. If you are not satisfied with the surprise and still want to choose the same life as before, my previous promise will still be valid. "

Reese, whose heart had already been dead, ignored Jack's words. The silent silence continued until the Audi R8 stopped in the driveway in front of a house.

Throwing a front door key to Reese, Jack motioned for him to help himself. "There are spare clothes in the bedroom, and there are razors and barber tools in the bathroom drawer. Oh, yes, and this."

He opened the glove box on the passenger side, took out two bottles of vodka and threw them to Reese who had just gotten out of the car. "If it's not enough, just bear with it. I'll bring you more when I come tomorrow."

The latter's expression was unclear as his face was hidden behind his big beard, but his eyes showed a look of surprise that indicated this guy was not making fun of me.

What Jack threw over was not the flat whiskey bottle that Reese had in his pocket before, but a large 500ml bottle of vodka. Given his current state, just one bottle would be enough to completely knock him over. At least at this moment, Reese really believed Jack's promise.

This single-family house located in the suburbs of Long Island is not too big. Only the first floor is used for living, and there is a attic on the top, but Reese obviously has no intention of visiting every room.

He found the bedroom and opened the closet. He then saw the spare clothes Jack mentioned, even underwear, all in whole packages, neatly placed and unopened.

I walked into the bathroom and opened the drawer, and the toiletries prepared inside were all brand new.

Reese sniffed subconsciously. He smelled a faint fragrance since he entered the house. This smell gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and his whole spirit relaxed unconsciously.

After spending nearly an hour taking care of his personal hygiene, Reese walked out of the bathroom again looking almost brand new.

Although he still had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were still depressed, his hair looked like it had been bitten by a dog, and his chin had several small wounds from the long beard that was difficult to shave, he already looked more or less like a human being.

Carrying the vodka given by Jack, Reese walked into the bedroom and turned on the TV. The nightly news was reporting on what great wins the President had made today.

However, he turned on the TV just to make some noise in the room. He had no intention of listening to what was being said. He just lay down on the bed, unscrewed the cap of the vodka bottle, and took two sips.

Reese had no interest in the surprise Jack mentioned, and he didn't drink alone just to drink himself to death. In fact, he was so guilty that he could only fall asleep with the help of alcohol.

And only in this kind of sleep with his nerves completely anesthetized by alcohol could he see the woman who had been haunting him again.

The strong alcohol brings a burning sensation to the empty stomach, which quickly spreads through the nervous system to the whole body, especially the brain.
-
At the airport, even in the busy terminal, Reese still recognized the girl with half-covered golden hair and a camel-hair coat at a glance.

"Jessica!"

But his gaze immediately stopped on her left hand holding the suitcase, and the diamond ring on her ring finger was so dazzling.

"Yes, I'm engaged, his name is Pete." The girl noticed his gaze and nodded repeatedly. Her calm expression showed that she felt a little complicated at the moment.

The memory was a little fuzzy at this moment. Reese no longer remembered what they said afterwards, or perhaps he didn't want to recall it at all.

In short, after a brief greeting, he put away his smile, nodded politely to the other party, and said, "I wish you happiness." Then he wanted to leave.

“No, you don’t mean it.” Jessica’s voice seemed to ring in the sky, but it seemed to be just behind her.

Reese turned back in shock, only to see tears already streaming down the girl's cheeks. "Tell me, tell me to wait for you. As long as you say this, you know I will do it."

The scene in his memory became blurred again, and Reese screamed heartbreakingly in his subconscious, but it was useless.
