MTL - American Comic Survival Guide-Chapter 14 party

As usual, Hank prepared a lively induction party for his new partner. The location of the party was chosen at Hank's house, and Gao Fei was asked to bring his female partner to attend.

Hank told him that if a new police officer did not have a female companion at the induction party, he would be ridiculed. The last newcomer who attended the induction party alone was ridiculed by his colleagues for half a year.

So Gao Fei had to invite Cheng Jieqian to join him, and Jieqian refused the dance class for him that day.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the party officially started.

Hank's home is located at the junction of Brooklyn and Queens. He lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building. Hank has a happy family with two cute little daughters.

Although his wife Serena has always been a little critical of Hank's career, she is warm and friendly to her colleagues in the police station. As soon as Gao Fei entered the door, she was warmly welcomed by her, and he quickly became acquainted with the Hank family.

"Oh, Gao Fei, your girlfriend is very beautiful!" Serena quickly found Cheng Jieqian who was following Gao Fei and praised with a smile.

"No, you misunderstood, Serena." Goofy quickly clarified, "We are just friends."

"That's such a pity." Serena's smile was full of meaning. "Remember, don't let the good opportunity slip away. When you start working, you won't have time to go to the romantic scene."

Hank immediately added: "If you were single before you became a police officer, you will only remain single after you become a police officer. If you were not single before you became a police officer, then after you become a police officer ... there is a high probability that you will become single again."

Cheng Jieqian questioned this: "But Officer Hank, don't you have a happy family?"

Serena immediately smiled bitterly: "Oh, my dear, that's because you don't know how many times our marriage was on the verge of breaking up."

"Twice a year." Hank said lightly, "the frequency was twice a month before my daughter was born."

Serena rolled her eyes: "It looks like you're very proud of this."

Hank shrugged, and quickly ducked aside to greet other colleagues.

The party was quiet and low-key, just drinking and chatting among colleagues, without the hustle and bustle of music, let alone shouting. After all, they don't want to receive calls from neighbors complaining about disturbing the residents, and they can't handle themselves at that time.

After eating Katherine's carefully cooked pastries, Hank and a few smokers went to the terrace to smoke, and looked at the night view of Brooklyn through the moonlight. fire.

"Damn, is this a fire?"

Hank frowned. No night in Brooklyn was ever peaceful.

"Calm down, Hank, call the fire department first. They have always been efficient and will handle this little thing well." Roger, an old friend beside him, said with a smile, his principle of doing things is to hide if he can. .

"We have to go over immediately, while the fire doesn't expand." Unlike the old fritter Roger, Hank has a great sense of responsibility.

"Okay." Roger nodded helplessly and followed Hank back to the living room.

"My friends, I have a mission. An abandoned building at the end of the block caught fire, so cheer up, put down your drinks, and start working!" Hank commanded in an orderly manner.

"You mean 'garbage building'?" Serena said nervously. "Then you have to act quickly. Next to it is the kindergarten of Gemma and Jill. I don't want our daughter to have nowhere to go tomorrow."

When Gao Fei heard the news of the fire, his blood that had been silent for a long time finally boiled.

He excitedly grabbed his jacket and said eagerly, "Let's go, guys, go see if there are any poor people in the fire who need rescue."

"Hey, Gao Fei." Cheng Jieqian pulled him nervously, "Be careful, a fire is not a joke, don't act rashly until you determine the size of the fire, you know?"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your little boyfriend." Hank patted Cheng Jieqian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, girl."

"He's not my boyfriend..." Jie Qian blushed in denial.

"Hehe, don't doubt the eyesight of an old police officer." Hank said with a smile, and then led his colleagues downstairs.

————

The "garbage building" is located at the end of the block. It is said that it was originally to be built as a department store. After it was abandoned, it became a paradise for homeless people. Most of the homeless people in the community gathered here.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the homeless will set fire to keep warm here at night. There has never been a problem before, but I didn't expect it to catch fire today.

After arriving at the scene, everyone found that the most serious fire was on the southwest side of the building. Fortunately, this is not the most dense place for homeless people. Most of the homeless people in the building had escaped in time.

This location is relatively remote, and there is no record of piling up sundries in it. It is incredible that the fire suddenly ignited.

"When will the firemen arrive?" Hank turned to Sam, who was in charge of contacting them.

"In ten minutes," Sam answered loudly.

"Is anyone trapped in the fire?" Gao Fei was most interested in this matter, which determined whether he had permission to rush into the fire and die.

Before Hank could answer, a heart-piercing scream suddenly came from the depths of the fire.

Obviously, there are still people in the fire.

Gao Fei secretly rejoiced in his heart: The opportunity has come.

"Oops, there are still people in the fire!" Hank's expression changed. "Sam, go and comfort the trapped people first; Roger, open up a life-saving channel with me!"

"Hank, the fire is already very big, I think we should wait for the firemen to arrive at the scene..." Roger began to bargain.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a figure had already drilled into the fire.

It is Gao Fei!

"Goofy! Come back to me!" Hank shouted anxiously, "Stupid boy, the smoke will kill you!"

Goofy didn't listen at all, he had already got into the fire while Hank was talking.

If the fire brigade arrives without taking action, what will happen if the fire is extinguished by then? As the saying goes, kill yourself as soon as possible!

However, the fire had not spread completely at this time, and the smoke and dust concentration at the scene was acceptable. Gao Fei followed the cry and came to the depths of the building, and saw two people crawling on the ground not far away.

Both of them were homeless, and one of them was so smoky that his consciousness was blurred. If it wasn't for him crawling on the ground all the time, the smoke at the scene would have killed him already.

"hold onto!"

Gao Fei shouted loudly, carried this guy on his back and rushed out, and the moment he approached the homeless man, he smelled a pungent smell.

It's gasoline!

He has gasoline on him!

This means that he is carrying an incendiary bomb that can be ignited at any time. Once a little spark splashes over, it may ignite the homeless man!
