I'm a spy in the film

Chapter 25 Mother, Brother and Sister

Then, several thin red and blue lines quietly stretched out from the gap between the pages and slowly stretched towards the "gem of life" that Bourne had casually thrown on a plate.

Just when one of the red threads was about to touch the gem of life, The Book of Whispers and all its threads suddenly stopped moving as if the pause button was pressed.

Visible to the naked eye, the red and blue lines gradually faded and finally disappeared into the air. The originally elastic and shiny cover of the "Book of Whispers" also turned gray and dull, as if it had been squeezed dry. It actually looked listless and there was nothing unusual.

All of this was seen by a tattered doll placed on the corner of the coffee table. Occasionally, a gleam of light flashed in the doll's originally lifeless eyes, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.

The room returned to peace. Only the two magic items on the coffee table knew what had just happened. As for the guy snoring on the sofa, it was unknown when he would be able to understand everything.

……

"Mom, don't you have to go to the law firm today?"

In a dining room of a family on Kent Street in Brooklyn, New York City, a tall and thin boy of about 15 or 6 with many freckles on his nose was sitting on a high stool waiting for breakfast. He asked curiously.

The person he was questioning was a plump, beautiful middle-aged woman.

The beautiful middle-aged woman placed three servings of breakfast on the dining table while taking off her apron and putting it aside, revealing a smart women's suit underneath.

"I will go to the law firm later today because an unexpected guest will be coming soon." She also sat down at the dining table and started today's breakfast.

"Mysterious guest? What mysterious guest?"

This age is the age of greatest curiosity. The boy immediately became interested, and even a mouth full of food could not stop his desire for knowledge.

Sitting next to him was a girl of about 12 or 3 years old, who looked about % like a middle-aged woman. At this moment, she also cast a curious look at her mother, but compared with her active brother, she seemed more quiet, which completely met the upper-class definition of a lady.

"Ding bell, jingle bell."

The doorbell rang at the right time, interrupting the boy's continuous questioning.

The beautiful middle-aged woman stood up and walked to the door. She opened it and what came into her eyes was a large bunch of flowers with morning dew still on their petals. This romantic scene brought a surprised smile to the face of the beautiful middle-aged woman.

"Brother Bourne! You came to New York?!"

Before the person behind the bouquet revealed his face, the freckled boy who poked his head out from the side cried out in surprise.

"Hey, Connie, Gray, and Olive, hello!"

Who else could this young man standing at the door with a backpack, a baseball cap and flowers in his hands be but Bourne.

Handing the bouquet to the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him, Bourne hugged her and then greeted the two children in the room.

"come in,"

The beautiful middle-aged woman, Connie Dutton, Bourne's biological mother, brought Bourne to the restaurant.

"Hey, Bourne, how many days are you going to stay in New York this time?" Gray asked impatiently as soon as the four of them sat down in the restaurant.

"I'm working at the FBI's New York branch now. I just started yesterday. I'll be living in New York permanently, so I can come visit you often!" Bourne said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" Gray almost jumped up with excitement, but when he saw his mother Connie's reproachful look, he had to sit down obediently.

"Bourne, did you know that we are about to have a military exercise?" Gray still excitedly brought up the topic he had wanted to talk about for a long time.

His sister Olive, who was standing next to him, looked at Bourne with a strange expression, her eyes rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking!

Bourne nodded and said with a smile, "I know. Connie has already told me. That's why I came here!"

"?" Gray turned to look at his mother in surprise.

"That's right," the beautiful middle-aged woman Connie drank a sip of coffee calmly, "Bourne will attend your 'first' military exercise on behalf of your father and me!"

"But," she looked at Bourne again, "Is it really okay for you to take three days off when you just started working?"

"I was lucky. Two big cases were solved on my first day. My boss saw that I was a newcomer and gave me three days off. It's okay," Bourne explained vaguely.

He didn't dare say it. It was the psychologist in the police station who asked him to talk more with his family in the next three days and to undergo another psychological analysis when he returned to the police station to make sure that he did not suffer from a mental illness because of shooting the criminal.

"Headbang Detective! So you are the Headbang Detective! My brother is the Headbang Detective! Oh, this is so cool!"

Olive, who was sitting next to them, suddenly clapped her hands and shouted excitedly, scaring everyone.

"What a shitty nickname!"

Bourne didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned his head and found that the three of them were staring at him intently. However, his sister Olive was excited, his brother Gray looked confused, and his mother Connie glared at the girl first, then frowned, as if she had thought of something!

"It was yesterday morning, the robbery of the bank where Janet's father worked, and the robbery of the Yankees in the afternoon. The news spread all over the campus! They were all quickly solved by a new headshot detective. He caught all the robbers of the Yankees by himself, and the money was recovered. The two guys who robbed the bank were shot in the head by the headshot detective, bang bang"

Olive talked incessantly and gestured back and forth with her fingers near her temples, appearing very excited.

"Olive!" Connie's eyebrows twitched and she finally couldn't help but shout out. Immediately, the two children sat up straight and acted like good kids.

"Tell me, what happened!" Connie turned around and looked at Bourne sternly. "You're a rookie who just graduated from law school, and they asked you to catch an armed robber? And shoot him in the head?"

Bourne knew his mother. Although she usually liked to appear gentle and generous in front of relatives and friends, she was actually competitive and picky in nature. If he tried to play dumb in front of her, he would only bring shame upon himself.

So, Bourne had to briefly recount his experience of yesterday, and glossed over those overly thrilling and violent scenes.

Connie frowned even more when she heard the name Jenny Lewinster.

"Bourne, I don't know how you got the offer from the FBI New York Branch, but Jenny Lewinster is a woman who is ruthless, heartless, and unscrupulous. At the same time, she is a person who is good at networking and has close connections with many senior officials in Washington. So, try to stay away from her and don't let her pay attention to you."

Connie stared at Bourne. "I will talk to Brady about this. His teacher has some connections in the upper echelons of the FBI. After a while, I will ask him to find someone to transfer you to another department. It's too dangerous to be in the action team! No one in our family would do such a dangerous job!"

Bourne was not in a hurry to persuade her. He knew that it would be difficult for others to change his mother's decision, and only his stepfather Brady and Grandma Iveliya could exert a little influence.

It was my mother's suggestion that I go to New York for this job. On the one hand, New York is the financial capital, and there are many opportunities here. On the other hand, although they are distant relatives, my mother's family has a lot of influence in New York. Of course, Bourne has another reason to come, but no one else knows it except his partner.

"so cool!"

Gray looked at his brother in admiration and was about to ask for more details when he suddenly saw Bourne glance at his mother covertly. He immediately understood and changed the subject. At the same time, he muttered to himself: My brother actually did such a big thing. I must ask him in detail after my mother leaves.

"So, you will watch our military exercise in its entirety this time? Including this year's special exercise?"

"Yes, I want to take a closer look at what Gray has learned in the military academy in the past two years!" Bourne gave him an appreciative look and said with a smile.

"We are the best team, and I am the best soldier in the team!" Kids of this age really can't stand provocation. Gray was so excited that the freckles on his nose lit up.
