[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Neil and Daisy returned to the town. After a two-day rest, Daisy returned to her previous job and continued to run their clothing store.

The clothing store was opened after they came to Daisy's hometown to settle together after they had been dating for a while. Before that, Daisy and a clerk, Jenny, were mainly in charge of it.

But before that incident, the idea of ​​"going home with her boyfriend to open a store" had never been in Daisy's future plans.

That year was the first year for Daisy to start a new job, and to survive in that metropolis, even if her job wasn't too bad, she had very little savings.

She has a distant cousin who is also in this city. Daisy has just arrived in this city, and she has gradually become familiar with that glamorous cousin. , that is a man who looks a little scary.

They had been together for a few months, during which time they had been friendly and close, until her cousin tricked her into signing the bond, and everything that happened after that felt like a trip to hell for Daisy.

The cousin and her boyfriend suddenly disappeared, and the money lending gang found Daisy, threateningly demanding that she repay the nearly 100 million U.S. dollars owed by the two of them within half a month.

Daisy felt extremely helpless and frightened. There was a huge gap between her savings and that figure, and she couldn't pay it off in half a month anyway.At that time, Daisy and Neil dated for about half a year. Even though their relationship had been very close and smooth, she never thought of asking her boyfriend to help her. What's more, Neil didn't seem to have any career at that time, let alone have any career. Daisy didn't want to involve Neal even with the amount of savings.

She was anxious and restless all day long, and she couldn't concentrate on her work. Being betrayed by someone she trusted closely made her almost collapse. Although Neil's comfort could relieve her anxiety, she didn't want to involve Neil. It is always difficult to speak out.

But suddenly one day, a lawyer approached them. The lawyer told Neil that he had inherited a huge inheritance from a distant relative.

Although Daisy never heard Neil say that he had any distant relatives, Neil used the inheritance to help Daisy pay off the guarantee debt and saved her. Others, such a thing will not happen.

Daisy gradually became discouraged by this bustling metropolis, and after a long talk with Neil, she resigned and planned to take her boyfriend back home to meet her parents.

After a while, she suddenly heard news about the two cousins ​​from her friends. It was said that they were in a car accident while driving drunk. Although they were lucky enough to save their lives, they were handicapped one after another. With one kick, Daisy who heard about it felt a little complicated for a while.

Running their clothing store, Daisy obviously enjoys it, but Neil has no enthusiasm for the clothing store at all. His enthusiasm has long been dedicated to the task. He has done too many things, whether it is ordinary or vigorous. Now let He chose, he would rather be a house cook.

That day was no different from any other day in the past. The weather in the small town is not dry and hot all year round. "Sunny" and "refreshing and pleasant" can be used to describe it most of the time.

Neil started preparing lunch around noon, and Daisy would be back in her black Chevrolet within a cigarette or so of him putting lunch on the table.

However, after he put out the cigarette today, he waited for a bad news.

Daisy is missing.

Their neighbor, Andrew, who called to report the news, was a man in his 40s who lived next door to them with his wife and children.

Although Andrew usually doesn't pay much attention, he won't joke about this kind of thing.

When Neil drove to the clothing store, the police car had already arrived first.

Andrew and some small town residents stood in front of the store, and when he saw Neil coming, he took the initiative to tell Neil the story.

"I was driving by here and I heard a woman screaming and then I saw Jenny running out of your clothing store."

Andrew motioned to Jenny, who was standing beside him, with panic on her face, and after Neil looked over, she took the initiative to take the conversation.

"At that time, a customer came to the store. I had a certain impression of him. He should be from our town. I was going to the bathroom at that time. Daisy entertained him. When I came back," Jenny looked calm. , but when she said this, she suddenly hesitated and feared, "I saw him grab Daisy, and suddenly disappeared."

This small town is really peaceful, and the biggest case that happened in a year was nothing more than theft or a private fight. It was rare to encounter such a strange thing, which made Andrew a little surprised and excited, but he Apparently he also knew how impolite he was, so he couldn't help but give Neil a smug look, then straightened his face and said loudly to Jenny,

"What are you talking about, no one will suddenly disappear."

Jenny obviously paid more attention to the news than Andrew, she couldn't help but refute him,

"Don't you read the reports? There may be mutants hidden around us."

The media's reports on mutants really won't make ordinary people have a good impression of mutants, which also made Andrew frown,

"But there have been no mutants in our town for so many years."

At this time, a man in a police uniform came out from the clothing store. His name was Div. He looked about 30 years old, with a firm face, but his expression was a little lazy. Behind him was a young policeman in his 20s. , that was Jason, he was Daisy's childhood classmate.

Diff noticed Neil at a glance, he walked over and patted Neil on the shoulder comfortingly,

"I'm sorry this happened."

This small town is small, and people in the town have an impression of each other even if they don't know each other well, let alone the few police officers in this town, almost no one in the town doesn't know them.

Of course Neil also knew each other, and because Deve cared more about the relationship between Daisy's parents, they were quite familiar with Deve's relationship, and because of the accident that happened to Daisy when she was young, Daisy and Jason had very little contact, even though Daisy They used to be classmates with Jason when they were young, but compared with Difu, their relationship with Jason is a little stranger.

Neil was silent for a moment,

"Thank you," Neil asked even though he could already guess the answer, "Did you find anything?"

Diff shook his head. He asked Jenny about what happened,

"I noticed that your store has surveillance cameras, and there may be clues inside."

Neil nodded, and took Div ​​and Jason into the store to watch the monitor on the computer.

The video was quickly reversed, and Diff quickly locked on to the target.

It was a teenager in his 20s. After entering the store, he followed Daisy to look at the clothes, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

But suddenly, the screen recorded that the clothes in the teenager's hands disappeared abruptly. In the surveillance video, there was only the picture and no sound. I don't know if the teenager who turned his back to the camera said something. Daisy looked panicked. Seeing the clothes around the teenager disappear one by one, Daisy West took a step back before her arms were grabbed by the teens, and the video seemed to be edited, and they were never seen again.

Diff played back the video over and over again, until he stopped moving and his figure appeared in the video, he finally broke the silence,

"We will report this case to the relevant department." He paused, as if he felt that this sentence was too cold and official, sighed again, and told the truth, "We, local police officers like us, can't do anything about this kind of case, but As long as there is hope, we will never give up."

Jason watched the video in a daze for a long time, and he is still shocked until now.

"Why are there mutants in our town?" He obviously heard Jenny's words before.

Diff was also surprised. There were very few outsiders passing through or settled in their small town. Almost everyone in this small town had direct or indirect contact with each other, and the emergence and discovery of mutants was the first case.

Even so, Deve still glanced at Jason and stopped him from continuing.

Difu couldn't help but wanted to sigh again. He thought of Daisy's parents, who were still in their prime but had already had gray hair, and wondered if they would be able to withstand the blow again after going through this kind of thing again.

Diff asked Neil to copy the video clips of those few minutes and sent it to his mailbox. Before leaving, he looked at Neil with sympathy and helplessness, obviously he was not interested in getting Daisy back. How to hope.

Neil has always been silent. He knows that this matter is very difficult for the local police. The teenager seems to have the ability to teleport. If he deliberately hides, no one knows where he will appear, and even arrest him. After Daisy, what would he do to her.

When Neil and Daisy got married, he had an extra responsibility for the family and each other, and he was given too little time to think about countermeasures. Every second of his hesitation was almost costing Daisy's life. make a bet.

Neil immediately thought of that person.

Someone he'd never want to see again.
