Manhattan Reborn 1978

A window in the second-floor restaurant of the hotel where Forrest Gump and Barlow settled.

With an excited smile on his lips, Barlow stuck out his head and aimed his pistol at the robber hiding behind the street car on the opposite side.

-------

Let's go back 10 minutes.

Da company's small building, in Polly's office on the fifth floor.

Polly sat behind her desk, holding the file in her hand and looking at it with wrinkles.

Opposite her sat a soldier wearing a camouflage long-sleeved shirt.

Instructor Cohen!

"Mr. Cohen, I don't quite understand some of the items in your training base standing supplies expansion plan."

"Please say Ms. Polly, I am here to answer your questions."

"Okay, let's talk about this. I can understand that the training base needs to keep some weapons and ammunition, but there is a plan to add some mid-range and powerful weapons. What does it refer to?"

"Ahem, Ms. Polly, actually, um..." Cohen didn't expect that the little girl opposite him in his eyes really found something in the plan that was not easy to say.

Polly put down the materials in her hand and said with a frank expression: "Mr. Cohen, I believe that our security company is lucky to have you join us. In the future when we work together, honesty will be a necessary prerequisite for a happy cooperation! "

"If something happened at the training base that I don't know about, I think I would contact Mr. Pine."

"We will work together to solve the problem!"

Cohen was a little embarrassed and lowered his arms across his chest.

"Okay, Polly! None of the equipment in these plans is in the records Pine reported to City Hall and the Police Department."

"What are you going to do?" Polly was a little angry!

"No no no! Don't be angry Polly!"

"No one wants to cause any big trouble, everything is to prevent possible dangers."

Polly tried to calm down her voice: "For example? Mr. Cohen. Please tell me in detail!"

Cohen smiled awkwardly: "I haven't had time to tell Mr. Pine about this yet, that's it. We are preparing to keep some powerful sniper rifles, grenades and M72 rocket launchers, as well as new individual combat equipment."

Polly's face turned a little red and she was breathing rapidly: "Are you sure you're not staging a military confrontation with live ammunition on the streets of New York? The number in the plan is enough to fight a small war, right?"

Cohen is a bit restless. Indeed, as Polly said, the plan also includes the army's standard armored personnel carriers, military jeeps, etc.

These were not part of Pine's original investment plans.

Now they are all part of da security follow-up equipment plan. . .

"Um... Polly... Our combat team is two groups of five. I have brought 7 good players, and there are still 3 people left."

"One of the three guys was in some trouble and needed some money to fix it."

Polly rubbed her forehead and looked at Cohen: "Tell me, let's make it clear once and for all. How much more is needed?"

"According to the plan, it will cost 50 U.S. dollars to get all the equipment, and my people may need 20 U.S. dollars!"

"What? 20?"

Cohen was a little embarrassed. .

This is indeed a lot of money.

The CEO's secretary he just met may not earn more than 300 dollars a week.

$20 is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

"I promise, Polly, he is worth the price. And our company will sign a 10-year contract with him, as long as we ensure that he has food and clothing."

Polly picked up her pen, tapped her desk, and began to think.

The investment required by the people Pine has found now greatly exceeds the investment amount of the security company.

The money has almost been spent.

The current $70 requires a joint investment from David and Pine so that the security company's shareholding ratio will not change.

Where did David get the $35? He borrowed $3 from Polly's father a few days ago.

Cohen looked at Polly who was thinking, and his heart began to beat.

Is it too much to ask for at once?

He was very happy when he received Pine's call.

I can finally go back to my old job, and the brothers who were once together can reunite again.

While the two were talking, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance outside.

Cohen reacted very quickly. He crossed the desk directly and pushed Polly under the desk, who was still dazed.

Then I took two steps to the window. This was the fifth floor with a good view.

He opened the window and observed.

People on the road were all running in one direction, and gunshots were heard in the distance in the direction where the crowd was fleeing.

Polly heard the sound of gunshots in the distance, and stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.

Over there is the direction of the hotel and bank at the intersection.

It seems that Sally just said that Forrest Gump and Barlow just checked into the hotel there today.

Cohen saw that the gun battle there was across a street and there was no sign of spreading to this side.

So he closed the window and pulled Polly away from the window: "Polly, I'll go to the first floor to have a look. Don't get close to the window. We're on the fifth floor. There should be nothing wrong."

Polly nodded, wondering if Barlow and the others would be okay.

"what!"

Her exclamation attracted Cohen who was about to go downstairs.

Polly waved to Cohen: "David, the president of our company, is going to the hotel to meet a guest at noon today. I need to call to confirm that he is okay."

Then she picked up the phone and dialed the apartment phone number. The phone rang for a long time before Susan picked up.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Is it Susan? Where's David? Is he in the apartment?"

"No, he should be downstairs at Black Mike's."

"Oh, okay. I'll call Black Mike."

She called Black Mike's apartment phone again, and it rang several times, but no one answered.

Polly panicked and called Susan back.

"Susan, I need to know where David is now! Can you help me find him?"

Susan was a little confused, but she still agreed to go downstairs and have a look.

Polly, put down the phone and didn't find David. She now has a bad feeling in her heart.

She calmed down and said to Cohen, who had not left yet: "If I can guarantee your safety, I would like to take you to see the situation over there to make sure David is there!"

Cohen was stunned. Take her with you?

"No, Polly, I'll go and see for myself. There shouldn't be any danger if I go, and if I take you with me we might both..."

Polly turned around anxiously and gritted her teeth: "Okay, Cohen. Let's do this. I have his photo here. If you find out it's David, please help him no matter what!"

She said as she rummaged in the filing cabinet next to her and took out a photo of a young man.

Cohen took the photo and nodded: "Don't worry Polly, he is my boss's boss. Haha, if he is really there, I will take a good look at him."

Polly nodded vigorously and twisted her hands into knots.

Cohen looked at the photo and saw that he was really young.

He put the photo in his pocket, turned around and strode downstairs.

Soon, Cohen came to the street.

He slightly unzipped his clothes, pulled out the pistol from his arms, crouched close to the car on the roadside, and quickly approached the shooting scene.

The company is very close to the street corner of the hotel, less than 200 meters away.

As it got closer, the gunshots became sparse.

Until he approached the street intersection and saw people on both sides of the gunfight from a distance.

It seems that the two sides have entered into a temporary ceasefire and confrontation.

Cohen quickly found a concealed vehicle that he could get close to, ran over to it, and looked at the scene from an angle with a wider view.

To his left was the hotel entrance. There were four people hiding behind the car, and the three of them were wary of the other side.

There were also four people on his right, but two of them were arguing about something and pulling a big bag from each other.Of the two people further away, one was injured and fell to the ground, and the other was frantically helping him with first aid?

According to Cohen's experience, although this shootout took place for less than five minutes, the amount of ammunition on both sides should have been within a dangerous range.

If one side has no ammunition, it is a situation of death.

He quietly poked his head and saw that among the four people at the door of the hotel, there were two familiar faces, Black Mike and Ravis. The other young white man looked very familiar.

Take out a photo of David and compare it.

"shxx! Polly really got her right." Cohen grinned and put the photo back in his arms.

This guy seems fine. It seems that his investment will be stable this time.

only. . . .

"bang bang bang"

A few bullets shattered the last chance of the gunman hiding on the other side.

"Hey, David, it's Barlow. There's one guy on the other side who's injured, and I took down two more, and one is intact."

Barlow, who was on the second floor, suddenly took action and knocked down the two gunmen who were arguing opposite.

Barlow's sudden attack broke the confrontation between the two sides.

Everyone who heard the gunshot had mixed reactions.

When David heard this, he thought someone was shooting at them from behind. He trembled all over and almost ran out of the bunker.

Mike Bai held his arm firmly. It seemed that David was still not used to this kind of scene. He is a timid mascot!

He looked up at the window, grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ears.

This kid Barlow has made great achievements!

Black Mike heard Barlow's cry and grabbed Lavis who was guarding the window with his gun raised, indicating that it was one of his own.

Cohen saw the right moment and signaled to Black Mike and the others. Lavis noticed Cohen's presence and pulled Black Mike.

Seeing Cohen's appearance, he nodded excitedly.

After Cohen made a few tactical gestures, Black Mike and the two expressed their understanding.

Count down to two people with gestures, three, two, one.

The three of them stood up and shot "bang bang bang bang" at the same time.

Cohen took advantage of the cover of the two men and quickly went back to the side. He looked over and saw four gunmen, three of whom fell to the ground.

Another one was hiding behind the car and shivering, throwing his gun aside. . .

He didn't hesitate and raised his gun.

"bang bang bang"

A four-shot blast took care of the opponent, and then motioned to Black Mike, safe, to check.

Black Mike's pistol was down to its last magazine. After the cover just now, there were still two rounds left. He turned his head and motioned for White Mike to follow.He looked back at Barlow upstairs.

Barlow was also at the window at this time, and he nodded to Black Mike, alertly.

There was a little head sticking out next to Barlow, looking at the scene downstairs with curiosity.

Ravis, Black Mike, and White Mike walked quickly to the other side of the street with their backs bent.

He pointed his gun at the gunman who fell to the ground.

Of the four gunmen, three were dead, and the one who was shot first remained.

The wound was on his waist and he looked like he was dying.

Cohen checked the four men one by one, kicking each man's weapon away.

He shook his head to Black Mike and the others: "They are all dead. If the injured one is not the devil's biological son, he probably won't survive the hospital."

He turned around and checked again. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that none of the vehicles that had been shot would explode.

Mike Bai walked to the injured gunman and took a look at the big bag that his accomplices were fighting for.

There were colorful banknotes in the bag, and there were some on the ground in front of the bank.

He coughed and spat: "You little ****, you are so brave! Rob the bank!"

Before he finished speaking, the sirens of police cars were heard in the distance.

David also stood up after hearing what Mike Bai and the others were talking about, walked to the opposite side of the street, and looked at the people lying in a pool of blood.

This less than 10 minutes seemed like a nightmare.

No matter in his previous life or in his current body, he has never experienced anything similar.

Listening to people talk, watching TV, movies, where can you get the thrill of experiencing it yourself?

He looked down at his crotch.

Okay, it’s a man!

Didn't pee my pants!

David rubbed his face that was bleeding and swollen.

Take a deep breath.

He is still alive.

today do not!

From now on, he would never put himself in danger again.

If there weren't two Mike and Ravis.

Today, at this moment, he should be here, lying in a pool of blood.

After checking it, Cohen and others put their guns away and waited for the police to arrive.

He walked up to David and looked the boy up and down.

Okay!

Didn't pee my pants!

Seeing the tragic scene where four people were killed, David just looked bad and did not have a more violent physiological reaction.

Not bad!

He tapped David on the shoulder.

David looked absentmindedly. He didn't recognize Cohen and just nodded to him.

"David!" Barlow ran down from the second floor at some point.

He ran to David and pulled him around to look around.

fine!

He was relieved.

The boss is fine, he is the great contributor!

There are huge bonuses!

Behind him was Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump did not approach the scene. Although he was not smart, he still understood this matter.

People who have not personally experienced the incident should not enter the scene.

Otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

The police are annoying you to death!

Black Mike and Lavis were also standing next to Cohen at this time, watching David safe and sound, and turned back to nod to White Mike.

Well done White Mike!

They are not in the same car. If Black Mike and Lavis die here, David can avenge them, and David will take care of all the aftermath for them.

This is the trust of friends.

But if David died here, it was hard for them to imagine the situation they might face.

First of all, Polly’s little girl will definitely go crazy!crazy!

Old David will definitely pick up the long-collected submachine gun and come to New York to kill everyone who has anything to do with this matter, or who has heard about it.

Everyone!

As for old Malkin, old tailor, Pine, and Giles.

Black Mike didn't know what the reaction would be, but it wouldn't be pretty. . .

Mike Bai made a great contribution today.

This kid is looking at the banknotes all over the floor in a daze, wondering if he can pick up a few and leave them alone.

After looking back and forth, the people in the bank looked directly at Mike Bai through the door.

He smirked and shrugged.
