The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

this sound...

Lake listened to the voice coming from the phone, and frowned slightly.

after awhile.

From inside the house, Lake pushed open the door and walked into the backyard.

"Which one."

"You ask my current name, it's still the old one."

"random."

"Seifer!"

"..."

Just got on a plane, stayed at a hotel in Washington, opened the curtains, wore a red evening dress similar to a red evening dress, with blond hair in a twist, holding the phone with delicate fingers, Seifer stared at Washington under the night, listening to the breath on the phone The voice, the bright red lips slowly raised: "You forgot me."

Lake returned to God: "No, it just feels a little magical."

"Oh, Magic, I remember, you never believed in God."

"And now."

Lake stood in the backyard. After regaining his senses, he smiled softly and said, "However, I just chatted with my adopted daughter about you, and the front foot just finished talking, and the back foot you called. You said this is magical or not."

Cypher smiled and said, "It means that we have a mutual bond, doesn't it, you were thinking of me just now, and I was thinking of you just now."

Lake smiled softly: "Thank you."

Just this vernacular?

What a liar.

This sentence, I abandoned it when I was fifteen years old, it is outdated, a big liar.

next second.

Lake just hung up the phone.

Shut down.

All in one go.

The Cypher in his memory would never have spoken in such a tone. If Lake was icy in the rescue center at that time, then Cypher was a big iceberg.

This gentle and seductive tone was definitely not the Cypher he remembered.

Since not.

Lake would rather think that this was a big liar. After all, a little boy rarely has a pure land in his heart, and Lake did not want his last piece of pure land to be polluted.

Lake has not been turned on these days.

If there's a real emergency over there at DHS, or if the Star House is on fire, David Bass and Cassell have a phone number in Washington.

and.

Lake is back for Christmas.

Holidays are the main thing.

A woman who he hadn't seen in over 20 years suddenly called him?

Ha ha.

I'm sorry, Lake has never been a character to see women kneeling.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

so……

After hanging up the phone, Lake put the matter behind him.

soon.

Time flickers.

2002 has passed, and 2003 has come.

this day.

early morning.

Betty yawned weakly.

Skye, who was having breakfast, looked at Betty and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"

Betty's character is very active, so this Christmas holiday, her relationship with Skye is on a parabolic upward trend.

Betty opened her mouth.

Lake, who was drinking coffee over there and reading the newspaper, said without looking up, "Because she has to go to work today, her spirit is so sluggish."

When the alarm clock in Betty's room rang today, six alarm clocks sounded together.

result……

Lake was woken up by the first alarm clock, and Betty was woken up by Karen.

Betty's words were held in her throat.

Skye was a little puzzled: "Why is going to work related to mental state?"

Lake looked up at Skye and thought about it: "It's the same as going to school. During holidays, you always wake up early, but when it comes to school, you always feel like you don't get enough sleep."

Skye blinked. "I've never felt that way."

Lake and Betty looked at each other.

Karen next to him smiled, looked at Skye and said, "So, this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person."

Lake and Betty formed a direct alliance this time, and looked at Karen helplessly and speechlessly.

Skye thought about Karen's words and seemed to understand.

Yes.

It's time for Betty to end her holiday today.

but……

Lake and Skye's vacation is still a week away. This time, Lake brings Skye back to Washington. The main thing is not to rest, just like the last time when the topic of love was raised.

It was time for Skye to embrace this knowledge, too.

Lake feels that if he talks to Skye, there is no doubt that his image will plummet directly. Moreover, when a big man talks to a little girl about that knowledge, no matter how you look at it, it will be wretched and the style of painting is very awkward.

So Lake just wanted to take advantage of the holiday and ask Karen to help explain the knowledge points to Skye. It's best, just like Karen taught him and Betty at that time.

Still the same scene as educating over-the-counter narcotics.

Lake and Betty went to the psychiatrist again, and it was still the same. One wanted to check whether there was any psychological problem, and the other wanted to conduct psychological counseling.

After breakfast.

Lake drove to the Department of Homeland Security.

At the beginning of the new year, it is very reasonable to visit the leader to say a New Year's greeting. After all, everyone is in Washington on paid vacation. It is very outrageous not to say a New Year to the boss.

What if Minister Kelly loses his mind and stops covering Lake.

This is workplace wisdom.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

Lake pushed the door and went in, smiling: "Good morning, Minister, Happy New Year."

Minister Kelly looked up at Lake who entered the door: "I have no wine here."

"I am that..."

Lake laughed, looked at the...empty wine cabinet, and blinked: "Where's the wine, where's the bottle of bourbon that's ten years old?"

"Drinked."

"drink……"

Lake returned to his senses, looked at Minister Kelly with a smile on his face, and sat on the sofa: "Minister, I came here specifically to send blessings, not to greedy the bottle of wine, although you said before that the bottle of wine will be at the party. Leave it to me."

Minister Kelly's face darkened: "That's my resignation drink. Why, I'm looking forward to my resignation so that I can take my place?"

Lake waved his hand: "Forget it, I still think that I am more comfortable in New York. Let's forget it in the D.C. The air in New York is sweeter than here."

Minister Kelly: "..."

What a joke.

Live in Washington?

Lake has lived there before, and it doesn't feel good. Besides, Karen is also in Washington, and living here always feels like she will be closely monitored by Karen. It is not as good as New York.

Just look at Nick Fury.

On the turf in New York, didn't Lake treat Nick Fury to the point where he couldn't even drive himself.

"correct."

Lake peeled off the oranges on the coffee table and compote, and looked at Minister Kelly curiously: "The President of Ghost Island came to see the Federal President, why didn't you go to Pennsylvania Avenue for a meeting."

Secretary Kelly continued to look at the document in his hand: "That's a Secret Service, Defense, Langley thing, not our business."

Here's what Lake saw when he was drinking coffee this morning.

The president of Ghost Island will come over tomorrow to meet the current federal president. At first, Lake thought that Secretary Kelly would go to the White House to attend the security meeting of the meeting, so he made a special call when he came over.

result……

The security of that building on Pennsylvania Avenue is not within the purview of the Department of Homeland Security?

Is this ignoring the Department of Homeland Security in Chiguoguo?

But that's none of Lake's business.

Lake sat in Minister Kelly's office for a while, chatted, and then said goodbye.

Even the wine was put away.

Wife is strict.

Lake sighed inwardly. Whenever he was looking forward to marriage, he would always see something that made him dismiss the idea of ​​entering into marriage.

Outside the Homeland Security Building.

Lake opened the door and got in the car.

next second.

With a flick of Lake's right hand, the Glock pistol was aimed directly at the figure in the back seat: "You're not too timid, anyone's car dares to get in."

talking.

Lake turned around and stared blankly at the woman sitting in the back seat, with her arms crossed, and a pair of sunglasses.

The woman smiled softly.

Head down.

Take off your sunglasses.

Today, I put on a set of pure white business fashion, with blond hair, took off the sunglasses, and looked at Lake with a beautiful face, "Hello, Lake."

The picture of the woman in Lake's memory instantly overlapped with the woman in front of him: "Sef."

Cypher stared at the Glock in Lake's hand: "This is how you entertain old friends?"

Lake put away his pistol, started the car, and left the door of the Homeland Security Building.

"I called you."

"I thought it was a liar."

"Why do you say that?"

Lake looked at Cypher in the back seat through the rearview mirror: "Because the words are too tempting, not you."

Cypher nodded: "A person lives outside, if he wants to live hard, he must change himself in the end, even if he doesn't want to, the price of not changing is death."

Lake did not respond to this sentence.

"Where? I'll take you."

"Shanquan Hotel."

"it is good."

After half an hour.

Mountain Spring Hotel.

Fifth floor.

Cypher opened the door with the key card and invited Lake: "Come in and sit down."

Lake stood at the door and walked in, looking at the layout of the Presidential Suite at the Mountain Spring Hotel in front of him, and said, "It's more upscale than the Presidential Suite at the Garden Hotel."

Cypher, who was walking towards the wine cabinet, said, "You should have a look at the bathroom. It's more interesting."

"yes?"

"Really, you can go and see. Bourbon is still whisky."

"Bourbon."

As Lake said, the invitation to go to the bathroom to watch is automatically blocked. Who knows if he will be slammed after he goes to the bathroom.

If the former Cypher felt like a big iceberg to Lake.

So now Cypher.

A dangerous big iceberg.

Lake took the wine glass that Cypher handed over and looked at Cypher curiously: "Where have you been, I have looked for you, I think you should know this."

Cypher showed a smile: "I know, when you and your adoptive mother came to the rescue center, I was watching from a distance."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

at this time.

Ding dong!

Cypher put down his glass, made an apologetic gesture towards Lake, then walked over and opened the door.

"Room Service."

Following the words, there was a little old man in his 60s wearing a top hat, and two adult white men in unknown uniforms.

Lake narrowed his eyes.

...
