Chapter 253
The new year arrived, and Henry lay on the sofa in the rental place, basking in the winter sun. He didn't want to do anything, just wanted to pretend to be waste.
The little tiger Katie (Note: male tiger), after feeding for this half a year, his body size has more than doubled. It was just the length of the forearm plus the palm, but now it is stretched out, almost catching up with Henry's height.
Katie was also lying on the large cat climbing frame that could be reached by the sun, with two legs on the side hanging outside the frame, basking in the warm sun.
Because the Kryptonian constitution is not afraid of cold and heat, Henry didn't pay special attention to the heating equipment. Instead, there were many computer equipment in the house that taboo overheating, so the air conditioning in summer was uninterrupted.
Raising a tiger, this situation hasn't changed much. Anyway, people bring their own fur to keep warm, which is different from humans.
Katie naturally wouldn't protest this situation, that is, when she could bask in the sun, she would be quiet for a while in the sun, letting go of the poor BB.
Speaking of which, the tiger translator has made considerable progress, at least Katie can understand limited instructions and act according to Henry's ideas. For example, the most classic sit down, reach out, turn around, and stop, come over.
As for the meal, these don't need to be taught. Smelling the meat fragrance, Katie knows to sit down in front of her rice bowl. After being slapped by Henry a few times, she is very disciplined and won't move things on the dining table.
Although the black clinic reopened, Henry's enthusiasm was not as good as before. Because it was hoped that he could be like a medical center, diagnose more difficult and complicated diseases, and increase his clinical diagnostic experience.
But if the Continental Hotel system is the main customer source, most of what comes are knife and gun injuries. Simple surgical treatment really has no attraction for Kryptonians.
So now Henry's attitude is more like maintaining the operation of the clinic in a dead-or-alive way before finding the next job.
He went to check the Continental Hotel's exit mechanism. Basically, if the service provider doesn't want to do it, then don't do it, and it doesn't restrict exit.
The reason why John Wick of Baba Baba Yaga wants to carry out an 'impossible mission' to seek the opportunity to exit is because he wants to exit the Russian gang, not the Continental Hotel.
No matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, all gangs are the same, it is easy to enter but difficult to leave. Not to mention those empty reasons, a very realistic situation is that people who have been in gangs will know some internal secrets.
If people are allowed to come and go, then those who leave will tell these secrets to the police or hostile gangs, thereby causing losses to the gang, what should be done? So it is better to raise the threshold of leaving and bind people inside the gang.
The Continental Hotel doesn't have such a problem. For freelance service providers and contract gunmen, it is just a platform. As long as the other party doesn't touch the deep secrets, of course, there is no need to restrict the other party's freedom.
And the identity of the Fixman has attracted the attention of the FBI. After the previous failed action, the FBI did not follow the clues to the Fixman. At least it has been quite calm for a while, and no one has come to disturb.
But this doesn't mean the Fixman is worry-free, after all, he has been registered on the FBI side. When will which agent have a wrong nerve, and come to find trouble again.
So during this period, the Fixman of the black clinic is much lower-key. And with the example of Andrew Saxon, the unlucky one, those black bosses are more willing to accept treatment through the hospital system channel, rather than looking for a secret doctor who has no license and will call the police.
It's just that in this way, those who have criminal records and are wanted dare not approach the black clinic even more.
Because they are all afraid of being opened a sky-high life-saving money by the Fixman, and then being arrested by the police. So fewer people are willing to find the black clinic.
Henry is happy to be more relaxed, anyway, saving people has never been his main purpose.
Thinking that this afternoon would be spent in pretending to be waste, the little tiger Katie suddenly let out a low roar. The translation software connecting BB and the brainwave sensor transmitted a mechanical sound through the speaker.
: Someone.
This is one of Henry's recent achievements. Although his own brain only needs to collect enough templates to use the comparison of tiger sounds to translate its meaning, Henry still got a speaker so that Katie can speak human words through the machine.
Not long after the speaker transmitted Katie's meaning, the doorbell rang. Henry struggled to get up very reluctantly and walked to the door. Although there was no cat eye on the door, he could see people through his X-ray eyes.
The one ringing the doorbell was old Gary, who was twisting and turning in front of the door in a strange posture, as if he was ready to run away at any time.
Henry opened the door and greeted: "Hello, Gary."
The landlord, who was startled, shook his hands coquettishly and said: "Hello, Henry." He also poked his head to greet the big 'cat' on the cat climbing frame in the house: "Hello, Katie."
"Roar."
: Hello.
After greeting, old Gary pulled Henry out and closed the door. Said: "That was a tiger roar just now. You told me you were raising a tabby cat."
"You heard it wrong, Gary. My cat's meow is a bit special, its throat is hoarse." A Kryptonian said nonsense with his eyes open.
"But it's so big."
"That's fat."
"...... Anyway, don't let your little cat bite others, I will definitely report it to the police."
"OK, OK. You tell me, what are you looking for me for." Henry hurriedly changed the subject.
Old Gary said: "Let's put it this way. A distant relative of my ex-wife came to Los Angeles for sightseeing, and she hopes to find someone to take her to see around, especially Hollywood."
"She said she might develop in Hollywood, just like you when you first came to Los Angeles. I think you two should have common topics, and you have a car, and you are very free."
"Are you interested in taking this job? Although the remuneration is not very generous, I can help you pay for the gasoline, and the money for dining out. As long as you don't pick those expensive restaurants that specifically pit tourists."
"Ex-wife's... distant relative? For this layer of relationship, are you trying to secretly tell me to take people to the South District and throw them on the roadside to teach them a lesson?" Henry lowered his voice and asked.
"No such thing." Old Gary shook his hands and said: "I have a good relationship with her family, except for the relationship with that woman. And speaking of which, that is also my child's family. They come to Los Angeles to play, I will try my best to help them even if I don't accompany them throughout."
"Oh, okay." Henry didn't refuse old Gary's request. This male landlord whose dress was ahead of the times had helped him a lot, so he should help this time as a return for this favor. He asked: "Who is the other party?"
"Barbara Morse."
: Wait, this name sounds familiar...
"A girl?" And now Henry realized that old Gary had been using 'she' all along.
His face became quite strange, Henry asked: "You trust handing a girl who is a distant relative of your ex-wife to me, is it not that you want me to be beastly and do something harmful?"
Based on 'Barbara' also being a cabbage market name in the United States, and the surname 'Morse' not being very special. Henry didn't think this distant relative was the one from S.H.I.E.L.D.
But handing a girl to a tenant, how big is the heart, or how much trust is there in himself?
Old Gary laughed and said: "I have seen that girl. She was a gymnastics champion in high school, although she has no relevant experience, her skills are good, and she looks like she can fight. And she is very smart, studying at Georgia Institute of Technology."
"I suggested that if she wants to develop in Hollywood, she can take the route of an action actress. This path has not been taken well by anyone yet. With her appearance, there is a chance."
...... Okay, this taste is right. Barbara Morse, a gymnastics champion. Now refusing, I don't know if it's too late.
