Arranging the blockade, dealing with reporters, and making handovers with colleagues from other departments, Rubens was busy until the next morning when he returned to the police station.

But as soon as he entered the police station, a subordinate quietly told him bad news.

——Claire and the others were let go!

Before Rubens could go to the director's office to question his boss, he met the person he hated most outside the office, Cecil!

"Hello, sir!" Cecil tipped his hat to him.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, Cecil." Rubens said coldly: "You can even fish out the criminals who attacked the police!"

"I'm sorry, officer, I want to correct you on two mistakes." Cecil was still wearing the same white suit as yesterday. He said softly, "First, they are not criminals, and second, they did not attack the police."

"They had weapons hidden in their cars, and I have a lot of witnesses who can testify that they were trying to break through the police and get in..."

"But they haven't launched an attack yet, haven't they!" Cecil interrupted: "Maybe they just wanted to go for a ride there, but before they could leave, a weird lunatic wearing armor attacked them!"

"Instead of worrying about these subordinates of mine..." Cecil also sneered: "I think you should catch that lunatic first! He openly attacked more than a dozen legal Americans in front of you policemen. citizen!"

"You won't have to worry about it!" Rubens's face became even colder.

The two finally broke up, and Cecil returned to his car. Claire, who had been released, was waiting respectfully in the car.

If anyone was most annoyed by Ronan's sudden intervention, it was Cecil.

Although he already knew what happened, he couldn't help but ask Claire again. When he heard about the huge robot appearing at the scene, his expression suddenly changed.

"Where are those two guys who shouted last night that they saw robots? Get them back to me quickly!"

Cecil is the boss. As long as he gives orders, someone will naturally take care of it.When he arrived at the bar, one of his men hurried over.

——Those two guys are gone!

It seems that when they got home last night, someone came directly to the door and took them away, and now they have disappeared...

……

A lot of things seemed to happen that night. Ronan returned home quietly at dawn, Ivy experienced an adventure she liked, Rubens caught many criminals, and Cecil also lost his USB drive...

But no one noticed that a person who was carried into an ambulance, covered with a white cloth, and defined as 'dead' by the doctors, quietly disappeared...

Annie stood on tiptoe and fumbled for a box on the shoe cabinet at the door. Her mother got up very late every day and sometimes put some change in the box and asked her to buy breakfast by herself.

Fortunately, today's box was not empty. A crumpled dollar was stuffed inside, so she no longer had to go hungry.

But she thought about it and finally did not spend the dollar, but secretly hid it in her pocket.

She went to a public elementary school, and children from low-income families could eat lunch for free at school, as long as they endured it until lunch time.

She put her schoolbag on her back and walked to the school bus waiting area with her head lowered.

There were several first-grade classmates chatting about last night's cartoon, but no one talked to her, and they didn't even look at her.

"Drip!"

The school bus came, and she was the last one to get on the bus and the last one to sit down. The bus started again, and many people got on the bus, but no one wanted to sit next to her.

It didn't matter, she was used to being submissive, but others were not going to let her go. When the car arrived at school and she wanted to get off, a little girl suddenly called her a 'drug addict', then pushed her hard and pushed her away. Pushed aside because she was walking ahead of the girl...

The driver saw it and just laughed.

So, she pushed the child, and then blood started to flow from the girl's head. She was petrified when she touched the blood, and it took a long time before she started crying.

Anne was also stunned. She didn't know why she pushed the girl. She was obviously used to it, but why couldn't she hold it back this time.

——Is it because the girl called herself a drug addict?

But what does it mean to be a drug addict?No one has ever scolded her like this, but some people often scold her mother like this...

"You little bastard!" The driver jumped up from his seat and reached out to grab her. She was also awakened by the driver's yelling and she instinctively got out of the car and ran away.

Where could she run?

She didn't know, but she was completely frightened. The feeling was more terrifying than being injured and bleeding. She could only subconsciously look for a familiar direction...

She ran and ran like this, getting up when she fell, and hiding in the alley when she was tired. Finally, she knew why she ran in this direction...

Her home was there, and it was the only place she could go back to.

Her mother was still asleep. She quickly ran into her room, opened the closet, and took out a small iron box from the closet.

Putting the dollar she got in the morning into it, she counted it and found a total of fifty-four dollars and seventeen cents.In order not to let her mother find it, she hid all her pocket money here.

It's strange that other people have only one mother, but she has two. The good mother is very gentle and will cook for her and help her brush her teeth, but the bad mother will beat her, scold her, and then fill the room with change. Only after the injection, she will calm down...

So, Annie loved those syringes, they made the bad mother go away, just like the fairy's magic potion, after they were used up, the good mother came back.

She was very grateful to Mr. Syringe and regarded them as friends, carefully storing them in a box.

——Mr. Syringe, please continue to protect me today!please!

Anne prayed silently, then took out all the money from the piggy bank and put it into her pocket.

Should be enough, right?

——She is going to find her father.

She actually couldn't remember what her father looked like. Before she moved, they seemed to live together every day, but after they moved, her father disappeared.

Is he still in that house?

Anne didn't know and didn't have time to ask him. The last time she saw him, her mother kicked him out, but the way he looked at her through the crack in the door was very gentle.

go find him!

Annie encouraged herself. She remembered that her previous home was in Queens. Now, she was leaving Brooklyn to find him there!

Gently kissing her mother's sleeping cheek, Anne embarked on her journey.
