"It's okay, I'm okay, Godfather, just... I'm a little tired." Angela raised her hands and pressed it down, while showing a tired smile, "So... I just want to stay here quietly for a while."
"Since you insist..." Brian made a gesture with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "then I won't bother you. I still have to apologize to you, Chrissy, if I could have called you earlier... "
"It's okay, Godfather," Angela spread her hands with a smile, "I'm not hurt anyway, and it's a series of coincidences that caused all this now, and no one should be held fully responsible. So, instead of apologizing, it's okay to apologize. It's better to rest easy and celebrate, at least... the people around me were not involved in this disaster."
Brian was silent for a while, then reached out and patted the goddaughter's arm lightly, smiling casually: "Yeah, so you can rest well. For the sake of coincidence, I hope Jedi won't kill him. I."
Angela closed the door after watching the godfather leave, took a few steps to the chair, groaned and sat softly in. To be honest, just before returning to the villa, she was still thinking about how to curse after seeing the godfather. When she put herself in danger in order to find him, he was drinking tea leisurely in grandpa's villa!
There is such a coincidence in this world. First, I broke my phone because I couldn't persuade the godfather, and then the godfather turned off the phone because I was in a hurry; I followed my car to Manhattan, but the godfather thought about it for a while and then turned around. Long Island; when he experienced the second crash in front of the World Trade Center, the godfather who read the news discovered that his mobile phone was in the car and could not be contacted anyway, and finally had to be called when his father called to ask. Please contact him.
However, when the godfather really appeared in front of him, he swallowed all the words, poured out all his anger, and just stepped forward and hugged gently.
The godfather and Angela are as close as their parents. She still remembers that after she was approached by the Children's Protection Association because of excessive practice, the godfather, who did not know the truth, rushed to Los Angeles and threatened to take her custody from her parents!
As for the usual things, not to mention, Angela is very envious of her father having such a close friend, and she is glad that she has such a godfather. Therefore, when she watched the second plane hit the World Trade Center, she suddenly felt a sense of despair, and regret filled her whole heart: If she had told the godfather that terrorists were going to attack the World Trade Center, maybe he would not go again
So when she learned that the godfather was not there, she almost collapsed on the ground; so she gritted her teeth on the way back, wanting to scold fiercely; so after meeting, there was no anger but just hugs.
"Okay, calm down completely and recover a little, everyone is fine." Angela bent down and closed her eyes, reached out and rubbed her temples. After verifying her father's news with her grandfather on the phone on the way back, she found the phone book and called each other to inquire about everyone's situation.
Parents, family, lovers, friends, in short, all the calls made before this have been called again. Basically it's just one or two sentences like "Are you here? It's great, it's fine", "It's great, don't go anywhere today, okay?", "Thank God, it's great that it's okay" After saying such words, she immediately hung up and dialed another number. As for the other party's hello, "what's the matter with you today", "how did you know there would be a disaster" and other questions, she was directly ignored.
"Anyway, just bite the hunch and don't let go. Anyway, I don't talk like this for a day or two." Angela murmured while holding her face, "As long as it doesn't spread and the public doesn't know..."
She suddenly thought of Meiweisi, the female detective's face was very ugly from the beginning of the return trip, and from time to time she looked at the World Trade Center that was still smoking from a distance. And after Mavis returned to the villa, she made an excuse to leave in a hurry. Before she went out, she took out her mobile phone and called, not knowing who she was calling.
Forget it, no matter what, even if the FBI, CIA, and even the public knew about it, it was impossible to capture yourself back for research. Angela gritted her teeth. Anyway, he never said anything like a terrorist attack from beginning to end, and there are many people in this world with a sixth sense. In short, just stick to what you say, as long as you don't do this kind of thing again...
After inserting her hands into her hair and letting out a long breath, Angela stood up and leaned on the chair, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised slightly. Although they only said a few words to Kate, Jesse, and Nat, the anxious concern in the three people's voices was very obvious. This was the first time in months.
It's just... Angela's smile turned into a wry smile, which didn't mean her troubles were resolved. After pinching the bridge of her nose, she opened the laptop a little irritably. After landing on the news page, she was stunned, and then quickly ran downstairs and ran into the TV room under the surprised eyes of everyone.
"... We can clearly see that the south building is collapsing," the reporter's terrified voice came from the TV, "God, this is terrible, you must know that there are hundreds of people in the building including firefighters..."
The footage was taken from a helicopter, and you can see that the South Building is constantly exploding and collapsing like popcorn in the billowing smoke and dust, raising a large swath of dust that seems to cover up the entire Manhattan.
"God!" An unknown voice came from behind Angela. The girl did not look back, but frowned tightly, listening to the reporter's excited and sad remarks, and looking at the North Tower, which was still shaky with thick smoke in the camera.
For a time, all she had in mind was the scene where people panicked when the second plane crashed near the World Trade Center, especially the little girl she rescued and her crying mother, who had been avoided by her. The things that have gradually surfaced now have finally fully emerged from the depths of the heart.
The North Tower of the World Trade Center lasted more than ten minutes than the South Tower, and finally failed to escape the fate of collapse. While the entire United States was in mourning, it also began to be on alert like an enemy. Most states stopped all flights, and some areas declared an emergency. President Cowboy also delivered a tough speech later. popular support.
These have nothing to do with Angela, she just stayed in her grandfather's villa and didn't go anywhere. Because the flight was closed, the mother rushed to New York three days later, and the father was temporarily unable to leave because of the turmoil in the stock market.
"It's okay, Mom," said Angela, who hugged her mother tightly. "To be honest, I don't think you should come here at this time. God knows if there will be another disaster."
"I can't take it easy, Chrissy, especially when I know that you ran to Manhattan when this happened!" Elena hugged her daughter hard, followed by holding Angela's face and watching with anger and worry She: "Do you know how worried I am about you? My heart almost stopped beating when I heard the news! You told us to stay at home and don't go anywhere, but you rashly ran to Manhattan, what should I say? it is good?"
"That's because the godfather didn't listen to my advice and had no choice but to..." Angela shrugged and explained carefully, "Besides, no one knew that such a thing would happen in Manhattan."
"Yes, I will discuss this with your godfather!" The mother gritted her teeth and said, then let go of her daughter and glared at someone: "Bligh!"
"What... what's the matter, Mary?" Brian, who was drinking tea, suddenly shook his hands and almost spilled the tea.
"Jedie forgave you, but it doesn't mean I forgive you!" Elena walked straight to him, scolding her head and face, and she wanted to stab him to the core with her eyes.
Brian also knew never to argue with impulsive women, so he lowered his stance in the beginning, no matter what Elena said, just use "Yes, I'm sorry" or "There won't be another time" Wait for the answer.
"Okay, Mom, I wasn't hurt anyway." In the end, Angela came over to smooth things out.
"Well, for Chrissy's sake, I won't bother with you, Bly. I hope you'll keep your word, and there won't be another time." Elena finally ended her scolding, and since Brian remained honest throughout.
After secretly patting the godfather in comfort, Angela looked at her mother again: "I'm going back to my room, mother."
"What? Are you uncomfortable?" Elena asked nervously.
"It's nothing, Mom," Angela said with a bit of tears and laughter, "just need to consider some of your own things, such as responding to saving people."
"That's true, I heard that they called you a beautiful blazing angel," my mother laughed, with a proud smile, followed by a worried sigh, "Sometimes I think you should really be against your entry into the entertainment industry at the beginning. , it's not a good thing to stand in the spotlight with such a high profile, my dear."
Angela was slightly lost, and then laughed again: "Don't worry, Mom, isn't there someone around to protect me?"
Saying that, she patted Mavis who was beside her, and then walked upstairs.
"I have to say, your hunch is really accurate, very accurate." Mavis, who walked upstairs with her, suddenly said this, with no extra expression on her calm face.
"It's luck, after all, no one can explain this kind of thing clearly." Angela said without looking back.
"I didn't see you having any hunch when we exchanged fire in the street last time." Mavis' tone was still calm.
"If human beings can fully understand themselves, biotechnology will definitely develop like a fly." Angela stopped suddenly, turned her head and looked at Mavis with a half-smile: "Don't you think, Did I launch the terrorist attack?"
The female detective shrugged and didn't answer, while the girl sighed and looked at her seriously and said, "I know what you're thinking, Maisie, if you agree, I'll find a way to contact your boss and ask him to transfer you back. ."
After being silent for a few seconds, Maeves laughed, although a little bitter, but more relieved: "I'll stay by your side, those things will be done by better people. My task is to protect you, Unless the country needs me, I will not give up the mission casually. Besides, if your fans know that I have given up protecting the beautiful angel in their hearts because of my own thoughts, maybe they will send me bullets.”
After speaking, she spread out her hands and turned to leave. Angela watched her disappear before entering her room, and scratched her head with a wry smile. Mavis is over, but what about the others? During the past three days, Angela has made countless phone calls, all concerned about her safety. No one asked what the hunch was. However, when things came to an end, all kinds of questions would probably follow.
No matter, anyway, don't let go and keep the same. Angela scratched her head and went to the desk to turn on the computer. She has other things to do now, such as responding to the footage of the TV station on her blog.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few coincidences. Just as the second collision occurred and people were scattered on the street, a reporter accidentally turned the camera on Angela while escaping from the car. After that, the police continued to evacuate, but the reporter did not return to the interview car immediately, so all the pictures of Angela saving the little girl were filmed.
At that time, everyone went to report the disaster and no one paid attention to this scene. It was not until the next day when firefighters and a large number of volunteers began to rescue survivors from the rubble that someone turned over the video.
Because the filming was very clear, and after consulting the police, we learned that Miss Genius was indeed at the scene, so CNN immediately broadcast the video on TV.
It is conceivable how much repercussions such a video will cause when broadcast at this time, and just a month ago, the women in the camera were still in the streets of North Hollywood, helping the police and gangsters exchange fire, so today's public opinion has been on Angela's. The behavior was greatly praised, and all kinds of compliments were added to her.
The cowboy president, who was not seen before, can get the support of the vast majority of people after giving a tough speech, not to mention Angie, who was originally a beloved national idol and once fought with gangsters on the street. Pull, how much reputation will you gain after risking your life to save people on the scene. Those people on the Internet even wanted to call Angela an American hero because of this. Fortunately, they were unified into a beautiful angel after consultation, and the media naturally followed this title.
This simply put me on fire. Angela smiled self-deprecatingly, her fingers not stopping for a moment: "Thank you for everyone's support, I just did what an ordinary person would do in that situation. At that time, I went to the World Trade Center to see my godfather, but I didn't. Thinking of such a disaster. Although my godfather was temporarily absent from the Twin Towers, many innocent people lost their lives because of this..."
When I got here, Angela suddenly stopped moving. Although she wrote this to explain why she was there, in order to satisfy the entertainment reporters who were haunting nearby, the pictures she wrote at that time came to her mind again.
"...I would rather call the firefighters who entered the building for rescue and evacuation as heroes..." Angela stopped again after the words appeared on the computer screen.
She suddenly stood up and walked slowly back and forth in the room, her eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking. One lap, two laps, three laps... After dozens of laps, she seemed to finally make up her mind, picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Jack? It's me, I want you to do something for me." Through the glass of the balcony, Angela looked at the bright sunshine outside and took a deep breath, "Contact all the people who can be contacted, whether it is an actor or a Singers, directors and celebrities, invite them to jointly hold a charity concert in Madison Square Garden in my name. In addition, let my charitable foundation prepare 10 million donations, both as entertainers and businessmen. Donate 5 million each."
After thinking for a few seconds, she said again: "If there is anyone who needs me to personally invite, such as MJ, remember to give me the list. Okay, that's it, yes, hurry up."
After ending the call, Angela threw the phone aside and went straight to the balcony. Facing the blowing breeze, she opened her arms and took a deep breath again.
In the remarks of the discussion about this disaster in the past life that I can recall, someone said: You can't point to the child under the ruins of the World Trade Center and say, because your country supports hegemony, you should be damned! Immediately someone refuted: Can you point to the children under the ruins of Afghanistan and Iraq and say, because your country supports terrorism, your country is dictatorship, so you should be damned! Some people also said: Well, if we are divided into 7 pieces now, there will be no less people in this world who applaud.
However, no matter whether your point of view is gloating or indifference, when you come to the scene to face that terrible scene, there will also be fear and fear, and after the past, there will only be one thought: that is to save people! It has nothing to do with views, opinions or ideology, it is just the most basic reaction and feeling of being a human being!
The past is in the past, and there is no way to go back no matter what. People are responsible for the past, but also for the future. Angela's heart reappeared in the words that the priest had said to herself, and the image of the crying little girl and her panicked mother a few days ago also reappeared in her mind.
I understand, in fact, I always understand. The corners of Angela's mouth were slightly raised, a smile that was relieved from something. From the very beginning when I made that plan, when I built my reputation step by step and accumulated wealth for myself, I had already understood it deep down in my heart, but I didn't or didn't want to notice it.
Go ahead, be responsible for yesterday and be responsible for tomorrow, take this opportunity to continue to maintain this prestige and attention, everything I have come from the gift of the "past", so it should be a break with this plan.
