[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

It was near noon the next day when Neil and Daisy got home.

They ate a lunch brought back from the road at home, took a short rest, packed up their packages and set off to salute.

When they left, they saw Andrew for the last time. He stood on the steps of the gate and waved to them, smiling farewell.

"Bon Voyage."

The sense of relief and joy that Andrew brought to them lasted for a while, until they found that the route they had planned to take was suspended due to an accident, which forced them to use the mobile phone map to find other routes.

But today's emergencies seem to be extraordinarily many.

"It's strange," Daisy looked at the section of the road ahead that was being repaired. "Did something happen these days?"

She looked down at the map route for a while,

"Shall we continue the detour?"

Neil took Daisy's mobile phone and looked at it for a while. At this position, they were already very close to the place they deliberately avoided.

If they still can't perceive anything at this time, they are too slow. They are like goats being driven, and they will probably get the same result if they continue to detour.

"Let's go into the city today."

The deepest impression New York left on Daisy is the danger. Dangerous crimes that are rare in her hometown town can be seen almost everywhere in New York, but whether it is returning to the original road and changing the route, or waiting for the road to be repaired, there are many time.

It is at this time that luck begins to play a role.

"That's the only way," Daisy sighed, "I hope New York today can be more friendly to ordinary people."

After re-determining the destination, there were no more accidents in the subsequent journey.

When they arrived at the hotel they temporarily booked online, a familiar figure made Daisy stop.

"That's..." She recalled the name of the man who had appeared once at their wedding, but all she could remember was the man's name, "Mr. Will."

Before Daisy saw Will, Will had already seen the two people directly in front of his line of sight. He seemed to be standing there hesitantly, and walked over after a few seconds.

What happened during this period has made Daisy realize many things, but at this moment, she can still greet Neil and Will with a smile on her face.

Will seemed to be a little absent-minded during this period. He looked at Neil with a look of hesitation, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything until he finally left.

It was a brief and awkward meeting.

Daisy was trying to act like everything was normal, but it was really hard.

Even after Neil confessed to her about his relationship with Hannibal, she also had some rough guesses about those "old friends" of Neil.

She knew that those were people and things in the past, and she shouldn't need to care about them, but sometimes, uncertain guesses also complicate everything.

In the hotel elevator where there were only two people, Daisy's thoughts became more and more active. The more she cared about Neil, the more she couldn't control her wild thoughts.

Why was Neil unwilling to tell her?

Why only open about the relationship with Hannibal?Are there any other differences between those people and Hannibal?

Questions like these circled in her mind.

Until the sigh beside her interrupted Daisy's thoughts,

"Those things are in the past, Daisy," Neil looked at her helplessly, "I just don't want the past to affect us."

Daisy knew from Neil's eyes that he had sensed the uneasiness in her heart.

"But if you want to know, I will stop hiding it."

And her uneasiness can always be easily appeased by him.

She basks in the joy of being honest with each other, optimistically viewing them as a relationship hurdle she and Neil have overcome together.

Until she and Neil met the young man on the street, the young man who had "kissed" her husband at her home.

This is the only thing Daisy can't let go of. Even though Daisy is willing to force herself to forget everything she saw for Neil, it still can't change the "fact" that her husband had cheated.

Daisy held Neil's hand subconsciously. She still remembered the malicious look in her eyes at the time. She didn't know what expression she should use to face Peter now. At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to look at Neil's expression. nothing.

Peter stood across the street and looked at the two, his breath was gentle, without the slightest aggression at the beginning, and he looked so innocent and harmless that even Daisy suspected for a moment that what he saw at that time might be just a person who looked similar to Peter. people.

Peter didn't come forward, and his figure quickly disappeared into the alley beside the road, which made Daisy even feel that he had less courage to face her and Neil than herself.

It was a rare day for them to encounter no crimes in this city that seemed to be full of crimes, but they were not going to go out at night to try their luck.

Daisy sorted out the clothes from the suitcase, they will leave this city tomorrow, and in the foreseeable future, they will not come back here for a long time, no, if they can, they will even Even passing through this dangerous city will be avoided as much as possible.

She hadn't mentioned their encounter with Peter before, and she even tried to pretend that everything was normal.

She was afraid to hear Peter's name from Neil's mouth, because it was an established "fact" and it represented Neil's past "betrayal".

Hearing the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom, Daisy exhaled softly, temporarily stopped what she was doing, and walked to the window and opened the curtains.

The cool night wind brushed against her cheeks, calming down her somewhat chaotic mood.

Suddenly, the familiar red figure on the top of the opposite building caught her attention. It was the city's good neighbor Spider-Man.

Strangely, although Daisy is not a citizen of New York and knows very little about Spider-Man, superheroes still have another magical power that is different from their powerful force. Daisy, who lives in this dangerous city, is relieved.

Early the next morning, Daisy was woken up by Neil's phone ringing. She heard Neil say a few words and hung up the phone, then opened her eyes dimly.

"what happened?"

Neal looked sideways at her,

"Will, he wants to see me alone."

This sentence instantly woke up Daisy who was still a little confused. The word "alone" made her want to purse her lips subconsciously.

But Neil's frankness to her and trust in Neil made her not choose to ask after a few seconds of silence, but smiled slightly at Neil,

"now?"

"Ah."

"come back earlier."

Will looked at the man sitting opposite, and they stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.

He felt that his throat was a little dry, and he felt a little better after taking a sip of the coffee in front of him.

After the arrest of James, although the identities of those bones have not been ascertained for a while, this is not within the scope of Will's work.

Will's work should have come to an end, but out of some strange intuition, he didn't let go of the closed case.

What he discovered later also proved that his original feeling was not wrong.

Will pursed his lips, took out a folder from the handbag beside him, and pushed it in front of Neil.

He watched Neil give him a silent look, then gently opened the folder, and the three photos he sorted out came into his eyes again.

Wearing a red and white patterned sweater, wearing a fish-shaped silver necklace, sitting under the Christmas tree with a black and white puppy, with a sweet smile, she looks like a little girl who is only seven or eight years old.

And that lying in the dirt, two small, animal and human bones.

Finally, there is the fish-shaped silver necklace recovered from the skeleton of a young human.

Until this moment, Will seemed to still feel the creepy feeling when he discovered this.

His eyes never left Neil. Even though their relationship was over long ago, his concern for Neil never stopped.

During this period, Neil's expression remained calm, and that strange calm even gave Will an absurd illusion.

—He seemed to have been waiting for this moment.
