The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 148 Homemade Security System (asking for monthly ticket)

Beverly Boulevard, inside Brian's villa.

Hawke packed up his personal belongings, especially guns, ammunition and various digital products, and prepared to move back to Fountain Street.

Edward stuffed all the documents from those days into a new shredder and shredded them into tiny pieces of paper.

Caroline dragged a large suitcase down from upstairs and asked Hawke: "When will I start work?"

"Aren't you already employed?" Hawke picked up an AR and put it into his gun bag.

Caroline thought about it and asked in a different way: "The new company you mentioned last time?"

Hawke said, "I'm working on the planning. You will come to the West Coast studio every day. During this time, your salary will be the same as the Savior's. The basic weekly salary is $2000, and the bonus will be calculated separately."

Caroline agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll go back and pack up and go there tomorrow."

Hawke packed up his things, then thought of something and asked, "You often deal with celebrities. You should know about the non-profit organizations related to them, as well as their personal companies in Delaware or the Cayman Islands, right?"

Caroline immediately understood what was going on: "Are you trying to avoid taxes?"

"I plan to set up a charity organization." Hawke said all serious words: "To make a contribution to equality in American society."

For example, we need to find out whether Buddy Ackerman’s descendants also have dinosaur blood type so that we can use them as blood jars in the future.

Seeing Hawke's serious nonsense, Caroline said seriously: "There are professional intermediary companies here. As long as you are willing to spend money, they can handle all the procedures impeccably. Even if the Federal Tax Bureau and the Ministry of Justice are dispatched together, they can't find any fault."

"Well, when you come to my place tomorrow, you will do this job." The kind-hearted boss couldn't bear to see his employees idle, so Hawke assigned the work to Caroline first.

After Edward shredded the documents, Hawke checked them again to make sure nothing was left. Then he and Edward drove an Audi A8 and a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz back to Fountain Street in East Hollywood.

Before Caroline got in the car and left, she called a few friends to inquire about the situation.

On the other side, Hawke moved his things back to the studio and called Brian again. His law firm also had professional lawyers to handle this type of business.

No one had lived in the studio for ten days, and it was covered with a layer of dust. At Hawk's command, Edward became busy.

Not long after, someone knocked on the studio door from outside.

Hawke went to open the door and Frank came in holding a tattered hat.

He looked thinner, and when he came in he said, "Where have you been? Did you forget about me? If you don't come back, I'll starve to death!"

Edward came out of the bathroom holding a rag and threw it directly to Frank: "Come on, work, and you will have food if you work."

Frank caught the rag, threw it back, and said, "It's made of cotton. It suits you perfectly."

He then said to Hawke, "Hurry up and order some fried chicken and watermelon juice. We can't let people work for nothing."

Hawke didn't indulge him: "Haven't you noticed? You ate a lot recently and gained a lot of weight. Now you are just returning to the state when we first met. For your health, I think..."

Frank's face darkened. "Do you know why I lost weight? It's not that I don't work hard to make money, but because I have to watch the door for you! I sit at the gate of the park every day to beg, and I can't go out to pick up cans and newspapers. My income has dropped sharply. If you don't make up for my loss, will your conscience be uneasy?"

Hearing this, Hawke felt guilty and said, "Let's have a big meal at noon."

Frank was satisfied. He sat on the sofa and instructed Edward: "The shelf is not cleaned and there is still dust on the windowsill."

"I remember." Edward smiled with two rows of white teeth: "I still remember a female star named Salma Hayek."

Frank didn't let his guard down this time, and said calmly: "She's going to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. You and I can't reach her."

Hawke casually asked, "You knew she would leave if she got nominated, so why did you still help her?"

"She gave so much, and it made me feel warm." Frank is very particular: "Giving should be rewarded."

Edward was speechless and lowered his head to continue working.

Frank continued, "Didn't you do a job recently to help someone win a Golden Globe? I asked someone yesterday to help me find out that Sarah Parker will be nominated for a Golden Globe."

Hawke appreciated his kindness: "Thank you."

Frank exclaimed: "You are so good at messing things up. She is a pregnant woman and a spokesperson for anti-domestic violence. How dare you not give her the Golden Globe Award, which is such a left-leaning award?"

Hawke also has a strong work ethic: “I just do what I’m paid to do.”

"Harvey Weinstein's PR was bad enough." Frank shook his head. "I feel like you've opened the door to a new world for them. From now on, those bastards who are aiming for Oscars will put less and less energy into the roles themselves and more into creating halos."

Hawke said, "If there's no me there will be others."

After Edward finished cleaning, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Considering that Frank had indeed been helping him with the door recently, after lunch, Hawke accompanied him to a nearby supermarket and bought a lot of random things.

Frank also bought an island-made masturbation cup on the pretext of caring about the health of the elderly.

He said confidently: "Hawke, you bastard gave Salma a bad idea. After she gets the nomination, she will go to Europe, and I will not have any benefits in the future."

Hawke consoled him: "You still have many ex-wives."

Frank turned to look at Edward who was pushing the cart in front of him and said nothing.

The three of them bought a lot of things from the supermarket, filling not only the refrigerator in Frank's RV, but also the refrigerator in the studio.

Frank left, and Edward came to ask for leave: "Boss, I haven't been back to Brentwood for many days. Deborah calls me several times a day. If I don't go back, she will break up with me."

Hawke thought about it and realized that there was no important business in the next few days, so he said, "Go back. I'll give you three days off, but don't leave Los Angeles."

Edward ran out of the studio.

Hawke sat in front of his laptop and continued to write his plan in preparation for the establishment of a new company.

The new company is naturally in the Internet media industry.

Not to mention that traditional media has begun to decline, it is too late to start a business now because the territory has already been divided up.

But Internet media cannot be done well just by saying it.

Hawke is self-aware and is better at destruction than creation.

Moreover, in terms of Internet media, it is not easy to run a portal website nowadays as the competition is extremely fierce.

In terms of blogs, a few websites occupy most of the market.

Hawke considered that the website should have media attributes, attract users with popular breaking news, and achieve user interactivity, thereby attracting investment and monetization to enhance its own strength.

However, many things are well conceived, but there are often a lot of problems when they are actually implemented.

Apart from anything else, if you don't have enough strength to report breaking news, you may end up being reported by others.

So, Hawke had the idea before coming to Los Angeles, but he is only now planning to implement it.

He wrote down a lot of random ideas, but he still had to carefully select the ones that could be implemented in the end.

Hawke's phone rang with a text message alert. He picked it up and took a look. There was only a short sentence on it: "We are back."

This is Campos and others who were traveling and returned to Los Angeles.

Hawke thought about it and called Bryan, who was still busy with the lawsuit as a lawyer for many victims. Wagner and Redford were dead, and the civil compensation was over.

But there is another person in the video who can be clearly identified - Lawrence Pope.

According to Brian, Pope kept his mouth shut and took all the blame.

Even so, the matter still involves the person behind him.

The head of the governor's office had to come out and publicly apologize, and even Governor Gray Davis was implicated.

The elephants are pushing Deep Blue into a corner.

As soon as he finished the call, Hawke received another call from someone else.

FedEx notified us that the shipment from Buffalo, Wyoming, had arrived in Los Angeles and asked where to send it.

This is the specimen of the grizzly bear that was hunted.

Hawke had already discussed with Erica that the things should be delivered directly to the villa and placed in the exhibition room.

He called Erica and drove directly to the villa in the Silver Lake community.

It didn't take long before the van carrying the specimens drove over and several FedEx workers carried the wooden boxes loaded with the goods into the specimen room.

Hawke signed for it, gave a tip, and sent them away.

Erica called at this time: "Wait for me to come over and unpack together."

Hawke asked her, "Can you get off work on time tonight?"

"I'm handling a small case outside. It's over." Erica on the other side said quickly: "I'm not going back to the police station. I'm going back now. It will take at most 20 minutes."

Hawke went to the tool room and found the crowbar he had already bought.

In less than twenty minutes, Erica's Cherokee drove into the villa gate.

When she got out of the car, she was carrying three heavy bags.

Hawke stepped forward, took two of them, and asked, "Did you buy the guns?"

Erica smiled at him: "Open it and you'll see, it's a surprise I have for you."

Entering the exhibition room, Hawke opened a gun bag and found a Remington shotgun inside, accompanied by a bullet belt and corresponding ammunition.

Inside the gun bag that Erica opened was a Savage bear hunting rifle with a scope.

Hawke opened another gun bag, which contained two AR15 semi-automatic rifles and a Glock pistol, as well as corresponding magazines and bullets.

It was the same gun the two men had used in Wyoming.

"I think these are very memorable." Erica is very concerned about this relationship and wants to manage it well: "I called Buffalo Gun Store and asked them to handle the special delivery procedures and pack it and send it to me."

She picked up the Savage rifle, walked over to a display case, and put it inside.

Hawke assisted her and handed her the Remington shotgun.

Erica placed the Remington next to the rifle, stepped back, and nodded in satisfaction.

The gun's bullets and magazines were stored separately in a metal cabinet with a fingerprint lock.

The cabinet was set with the fingerprints of both Hawke and Erica.

The two ARs and the Glock pistols were kept as self-defense weapons.

Hawke picked up a crowbar from the box and threw it to Erica: "Open the box."

Erica came over excitedly: "Let's go together."

The two men pressed down the crowbar at the same time, and the lid of the wooden box was opened, revealing the package inside.

After unpacking the outer packaging, you will find a lifelike grizzly bear specimen underneath.

The bear's internal organs, fat and body water have been removed and stuffing has been used to maintain its shape. It looks big, but it is actually not heavy.

Hawke and Erica each held one side and placed it in the specimen display case.

The villa is big enough and the exhibition room is also large, with more than twenty display cabinets empty.

Hawke said: "It's a pity that the mountain lion was beaten to pieces."

Erica waved her arm and said, "Let's go fight again. Starting this year, I can enjoy seven weeks of vacation every year in addition to public holidays. We can go to the mainland first and then to Alaska."

Hawke locked the display case and called her, "Let's go, let's go wash up together."

Erica chased after him and took his arm: "I just bought a new whirlpool bathtub, let's try it out in there."

This test lasted until dark.

After the exercise, both of them were hungry. There were only some instant foods here, so Hawke simply put on his clothes and took Erica out to eat.

Hawke was driving the Mercedes-Benz, and before he left the Silver Lake community, he saw two patrol police cars parked in front of an unused villa.

The two black men were pinned to the ground and handcuffed by four patrolmen.

Erica knew one of the patrol officers, so she lowered the passenger window and asked, "Hans, do you need any help?"

Hawke stopped the car and Erica got out.

The patrolman saw Erica and waved over: "It's okay, we've got it done. Two little thieves were stealing from an unused house here, and the neighbors found them and called the police."

Erica waved and got into the car: "I won't disturb you from working."

Hawke continued driving forward and said, "Many houses in the Silver Lake community have not been sold yet. The occupancy rate is not very high. I remember that the houses on our left and right sides were empty."

He suggested: "Should we get some security measures?"

Erica knew what he had done recently: "Didn't you transform the studio? And you successfully dealt with the people from the Shorty Gang."

Hawke started to talk: "By the way, the tools we used to make the slingshot last time are all in the tool room of the villa. After dinner, we will go to the supermarket to buy some tools and materials and modify it ourselves. How about it?"

Erica is a hands-on person: "Good idea!"

She was quite excited: "I hope some little thieves will set their sights on that house and get busted."

The two of them had a simple dinner and then went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of things, so many that they couldn't fit in the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz and had to be put on the back seat.

Back at the villa, Hawke and Erica got busy after unloading the things temporarily into the tool room.

The next two days were the weekend, so the two simply did not leave Silver Lake and stayed here to build their own custom security system.

On Sunday evening, Erica answered a phone call and told Hawke, "My grandpa wants to see you."
