Wine and Gun

McCard reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, trying to put the many thoughts in his mind behind him.

Now, he has to focus on the present moment.

Herstal straightened up.

He saw a bright light illuminating the road between the sparse trees, approaching like a moving star on the ground in the direction of the building dormant in the darkness.

He could feel Albarino doing the same thing, leaning forward slightly, and the back seat of the car made a thud as his posture changed.

Herstal felt his heart beating slowly.

"They're coming," said Albarino.

Chapter 79 Blood Spring 13

Herstal could see the car driving smoothly into the building's somewhat period-style courtyard walls, the brilliance of the car's headlights quickly fading away. Hestal didn't say anything else, just picked up what he had put on the passenger seat before, opened the door, and slid out silently.

Albarino hesitated, and followed him out of the car.

At this moment, the last bit of red brilliance at the end of the sky was also swallowed up by the shadows, and the sky showed a somber and uniform dark blue, and the stars that first appeared at the end of the sky shone with a faint silver brilliance. At such a moment, there was almost silence around them, and they could only hear the continuous sound of the wind and the woods, like the sound of the waves, and the faint sound of water from the river far behind, and those rivers would roll Flowing in the direction of the city center of Westland, it will also roll up the bones of those children to where they are going.

Herstal looked back at Albarino. The face of the other party was plated with a thick shadow by the gradually weakening sky light. Under the construction of such a shadow, the corner of his mouth seemed to have a rare smile.

Albarino stood on the side of the car and tilted his head to look at him, and then suddenly asked, "If I tell you 'be careful' at this time, don't you think I'm telling the truth?"

When faced with this kind of problem, Herstal always wanted to sigh a little. He considered it for a while, and then said: "Sometimes I think it's better for me not to think about this kind of problem."

Albarino was silent for a while, then smiled, and Herstal saw the shadow slightly deformed by the corners of his mouth. Then Albariño stepped forward and, as easily as he had done any time before, crossed that social distance line commonly called "inappropriate".

For a split second, Herstal thought he was going to kiss him, but in the end Albarino didn't.

Albarino just said lightly: "Be careful."

A bearded man came across the hallway to greet Slade and Rowan, whom Slade did not know very well, because everything in the building that used to belong to the church welfare home was Rowan. Responsible for taking care of it, he wants to appear in this place as little as possible. But Rowan mentioned before that this person is the one who is in charge of the children in charge of guarding the children, and it seems that Rowan admires him for being careful and bold.

So Slade put himself a step back, deciding not to speak until the time was right. He appeared here because he was always uneasy about the future development. After all, transferring the child was a big deal. If there was nothing wrong with Rowan's arrangement, he would have no need to speak.

In fact, most of his mind is on other places - the computer he used to put in the office of Sequoia Manor, after the last "party", the computer was inexplicably restored to the factory settings, and all the computer he used to ensure himself All the safe things disappeared, and on the same day, one of his men died in the manor.

Does this mean that an intruder once entered the manor and that person took the pictures and videos he had saved before? What was the purpose of that person? It's been a long time since that incident, and nothing wrong has happened: no police officers have come to the door suddenly, and no one has used his secrets to blackmail him. But Slade was still full of unease in his heart, and besides, all the riches he had left behind were gone. This was also a big driving force for him to prepare to leave the city immediately after the FBI came to Westland.

Beard nodded slightly at the two of them, and then said straight to Rowan: "Everything is ready, the car is parked on the side, disguised as a delivery van, enough to send fourteen children Walk."

Fourteen—that's all the kids the club at Sequoia Manor had, they had eighteen at their peak, but some people couldn't get used to it, and the corpses in the river said it all.

Rowan frowned and asked, "Are all traces cleared?"

"Nothing goes wrong," Beard said with confidence, as if puffing out his chest slightly, "we've burned everything we can, and we'll never find a single piece of paper in the whole building. Even if you Yes, we can leave tonight."

Rowan thought for a while, and then rejected his proposal: "It's still too early, I think it's better to start at three in the morning as originally planned, so that we can arrive before dawn..."
