Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

66rd Street, Manhattan.

FBI headquarters in New York, in the director's office.

Director Harold Stone was looking through the photos and information in the folder on his desk.

In his hand, there are four large piles of documents, waiting for his review. .

"Clang clang clang~"

"Please come in~"

FBI agent and psychological consultant Torres Bradman poked his head in from the door: "Mr. Stone, someone is here to visit you!"

"Visit? Who is he?"

"He said it himself...Mr. Otis Parker~"

"Parker?"

Harold Stone raised his hand and scratched his head, glanced at the information in his hand, stood up and said, "Is there anyone in our small conference room?"

"No~"

"Then...just take him there and wait for me~"

"ok~"

After Harold Stone watched the office door being closed, he opened the second drawer at hand, took out a pamphlet from it, and flipped through it. .

2 minutes later, he found some relevant information about Odis Parker. .

The more Harold Stone looked at the pamphlet in his hand, the deeper his frown deepened. .

This is ****. .Can it also be considered intelligence?

shxx!

Harold Stone closed the pamphlet and threw it into the drawer. He walked around the office a few times. Feeling that he had some preliminary judgments in his mind, he straightened his clothes, opened the door, and walked to the small conference room~

Small meeting room.

Harold Stone, when he opened the door, saw Mr. Odis Parker, as formal and elegant as a gentleman of title. .With a charming smile on his face, he extended his right hand to Harold Stone.

"Hello, Mr. Stone! I'm Odis Parker~"

"Hello, Mr. Parker! Please take a seat~" Harold Stone controlled the smile on his face, and the two held their right hands.

"Thank you~"

The two sat down and began to look at each other quickly~

Both of them knew some of the other's identity and information. The difference was that Mr. Parker came prepared today!

"Mr. Stone, today's visit is a bit presumptuous..."

"Oh, you're welcome Mr. Parker~ This is my first time here. There are visitors in the headquarters~ Haha~"

Mr. Parker, as if he could not understand what Harold Stone meant on the phone, smiled and directly expressed his intention~

"Mr. Stone, I am here today just to get acquainted with you and make friends!"

"I know that you have just arrived in New York and are not yet fully familiar with many work-related things."

"So, I'm here~ As long as I can help you with your work, I can help you answer any questions you have!"

Harold Stone looked confused, looked at Odis Parker silently, thought for a moment and then said: "You mean... you are here to answer my questions?"

"Yes~!"

"Forehead.."

Harold Stone suddenly felt that the information about Odis Parker in that damn pamphlet seemed like a piece of shit!

"Clang clang clang~"

At the door of the small conference room, Torres held two cups of coffee, knocked on the door and walked in~

"Sir, your coffee!"

"Thank you, Torres~"

Harold Stone took the coffee, glanced at Mr. Parker, and said, "Torres, you can stay too~"

Emm. .

Torres, with a question mark on his face and a tray in his hand, was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Stone~"

With that said, Torres turned around and closed the door, moved a chair, sat down behind Harold Stone, and looked at Mr. Parker with curiosity.

Mr. Parker didn't care at all about the extra person. .Will bring any trouble to his visit.

"Mr. Stone ~ I'm waiting for your questions!"

Harold Stone picked up the coffee, took a sip, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously. .

How does this coffee feel compared to the coffee I drank at Auston's? .The taste is so different?

"Okay, Mr. Parker~ I have just been transferred to New York to work. I don't know you very well. Do you think I could introduce myself first?"

"Okay~ I am Odis Parker. Almost ten years ago, I worked in a company on Wall Street..."

After Mr. Parker listened to the question, he directly recounted his past experience in a somewhat concise manner~

Harold Stone listened to Mr. Parker introduce himself as if he was applying for a job. .The forehead has been twisted into a knot. .

After a few minutes.

Mr. Parker picked up the coffee slowly, took a sip, and made a gesture of invitation to Harold Stone. .

"That...cough~"

Harold Stone sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his head and calmed down.

"Mr. Parker, you just said... can you give me an answer to all my questions?"

"Yes~!"

"Then... do you think I... can get the custody of my two children back from my ex-wife?"

Mr. Parker couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "Your question... I really have a way to help you!"

"Oh...? Please say it!"

"It's very simple~! As long as you can find a way to prove that your ex-wife is not a qualified guardian~ and you can build a happy and warm family again~"

"In this way, you can go to court to sue and get back the custody of your child~"

Harold Stone cursed in his heart, of course he knew this damn method~ But. .Where can it be so easy to do?

Also reorganized the family. . ?Still happy and happy. . ?

fxxx!

"Ahem~ Well... Mr. Parker, I think your method is a bit difficult for me now~"

Mr. Parker's body did not move at all, but his eyes glanced at Torres, who had been staring at his facial expression since just now, shook his head slightly and smiled.

"No, Mr. Stone, if you want to solve this problem, I can help you!"

"You...? How can I help?"

"It's very simple! I can arrange for you to attend some parties. You will meet a young and beautiful girl there and fall in love with her at first sight. After the passion, you will get married in a flash~"

"When you realize...you haven't met her family yet, you will follow her to...her home and meet her family~"

"You will be surprised to find that your new wife is the only daughter and only heir of a millionaire!"

Mr. Parker smiled, shook his head slightly, and spread his hands with a smile: "Family, love for your wife, millions of inheritable properties~"

"By that time, you will receive some news~some news about your ex-wife neglecting your two children because she has a new boyfriend~"

"You knew this and were so angry! With the support of your new wife, you took your ex-wife to court to regain custody of your two children."

"After that, the court will receive a lot of evidence that is very unfavorable to your ex-wife. You will also successfully obtain custody rights and live a happy life with your new wife and two children from now on!"

fxxx!

He is here. .Writing a movie script?

Harold Stone felt a little chilled when he heard this, and the veins on his forehead jumped. .He pursed his lips and said nothing~

Mr. Parker, with a natural expression, continued with a smile: "If everything goes well... I think you should be able to spend a happy Christmas in New York with your beautiful new wife and children!"

"Christmas? You mean... the end of the year?... more than two months from now?"

"Yes, Mr. Stone! Maybe... in less than two months~ If you're lucky, it's possible in one and a half months!"

Harold Stone is completely silent~

But after all, he has received professional training and has worked at the FBI headquarters for many years. He has adjusted his state to keep himself rational and calm at all times, and he can still do it in a short time!

"Hi~hoo~! Mr. Parker!"

"During your years in Europe, did anyone contact you?"

"Are you asking if I have ever dealt with CIA?"

"Uh...yes!"

"Haha~ Both cia and mi6 have my information and files. I am friends with many people~!"

"You can rest assured of this! No matter where I am, I am a law-abiding businessman!"

Harold Stone felt a little choked in his throat. .

"Okay~ Do you mind if I check your information with the CIA later?"

"Of course not~ haha!"

"However... I still recommend that you contact mi6. The information they have is the most comprehensive and... real!"

"The friends I know from CIA are all very helpful in arranging stories for me~"

"There is a lot of information about me recorded in their files that even I don't know...whether they really happened~haha~"

"Okay~" Harold Stone felt suddenly, a refreshing feeling pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. .

This feeling was so magical, it seemed that his whole body was filled with emotion all at once. .Calm down and be wise!

"Then...Mr. Parker, as you mentioned just now, you are a businessman~"

"Then what kind of business are you doing?"

"When I was in Europe, I did some intelligence business~"

"Now that I'm back in New York, I've opened a hotel and found myself a new boss. I plan to live a retirement life in New York from now on!"

"You... have a new boss?" Harold Stone asked with confusion.

"Yes~ Mr. Morgan, the old man of the Morgan family, introduced me to Mr. David Coleman."

"So...I got a new job from Mr. Coleman when I returned to New York!"

Harold Stone swallowed, cleared his throat, and blinked: "Is this David Coleman you are talking about the boss of the DA Security Company?"

"That's right~ But... he is just one of the bosses. The other boss is the younger son of old Mr. Morgan, Giles Norton Morgan!"

"Cough cough cough~" Harold Stone felt his throat started to feel itchy. .Changed the topic.

"You may not know that I visited the street informant and the auxiliary police office before. From Inspector Allston, we have reached some cooperation intentions and are ready to..."

"Haha~ Mr. Stone, I know you went to visit Alston~"

"So, here I am!"

"As I said before, Mr. Stone, if you have any questions, as long as I know them, I will give you the answer!"

"This way, for both you and me, it is a reflection of saving time and maximizing efficiency, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

This time, Harold Stone finally took Mr. Parker’s words into his heart. .

"Fire! Do you have any clues about today's accidental fire case?"

"Yes~!"

"What is it?"

"Someone inside the police station did it!"

"Who?"

Mr. Parker smiled again: "Can I say, are you sure you want to listen?"

Harold Stone was embarrassed. .

He gritted his teeth, all kinds of thoughts racing in his mind. .

"Torres, could you please go out for a moment~?"

"Okay~" Torres, who had been quiet all this time, calmed down his slightly nervous breathing and quickly walked out of the small conference room. .

Mr. Parker understood Harold Stone's choice and said with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Commissioner Hardman, Matthews!"

"He...they...?"

"Yeah~ What else do you want to know?"

"Why would they...?"

"Because they took the money, because they asked for something!"

"Who gave it? Who did you ask for?"

"Sinny, the Bronx gang boss, and...the Sidrich family!"

"fxxx!~" Harold Stone slapped the table and jumped up~

"You damn ****...what else do you know?"

Mr. Parker didn't pay any attention to Harold Stone's impolite words or actions, and said with a smile: "It should be...what else do you want to know, Mr. Stone!"

"I..." Harold Stone leaned forward, pressed his aggressive arms on the table, and asked with bloodshot eyes through his teeth.

"New York, everything, you know, tell me!"

"Good~"

"We...where do we start? A business celebrity? A political figure who is currently hot in Washington?"

"Hmm... New York? Mr. Stone, your question limits my performance~

"Then let's start with why Commissioner Hardman is thinking about running for mayor this time~"

"Haha~ Mr. Stone, did you know? Actually... Mr. Hardman is an... illegitimate child!!"

"When I got the news, I really felt incredible... You know what? His..."

After more than half an hour.

Harold Stone sat in a chair, leaning his elbows on the table, clasping his hands in front of his nose, leaving only one pair exposed. .With bloodshot eyes, he looked at Mr. Parker opposite and spoke. .Another well-known domestic boss living in New York, the hidden things behind him. .

His xx. . !

Damn Austin Parker, he told it all~

he. .I have really reached the point where I can tell you everything I know, and I can tell you everything~

this. .this. .Harold Stone felt that he knew too many secrets that he shouldn't know. .

There has always been such a thing as a secret. .The less you know, the better!

Because you know less, you will live longer~!

Can. .This Austin Parker, he is. .How do you survive until now?

Could it be. .Is it the David Coleman behind him?or it could be. .The Morgan family?

Or so. .There is also the mystery hidden behind Mr. Parker. .power?

"Enough!" Harold Stone's slightly hoarse voice sounded. .

Mr. Parker stopped talking in surprise, with a somewhat troubled expression on his face. .The meaning is still not finished. .

You know, secrets, if kept in people's hearts for a long time, will make people lose consciousness. .I feel like I have nowhere to vent!

That feeling of having no one to share your secrets with ~ it’s just that. .Awful!

"Mr. Stone, is there something I said that dissatisfied you?"

Harold Stone was not going to continue to beat around the bush and asked directly: "Otis Parker, you... who are those people behind you?"

"Behind me? Haha~"

"You want to know everything?"

"Yes! Just say it~"

"Hmm..." This time, Mr. Parker rarely thought for a moment before speaking.

"David Coleman, is the boss of my new job!"

"But he doesn't understand what I'm doing, so he shouldn't be considered a supporter behind me!"

"Well...the Morgan family, old Mr. Morgan, knows about some of the things I have done~"

"Some of the secrets I know are also obtained from old Mr. Morgan!"

"If we say that in the United States, the people behind me are the only ones now~"

"Then...where's the power?"

"Power? The hotel I opened counts as one! The rest... my former friends, count... as one~!"

"Which friends? Who are they?"

"Oh? Are you interested in this? Mr. Stone?"

"If you want a list, I can send it to your rented apartment later~"

"Of course, I won't let anyone disturb your rest!"

Harold Stone is silent again~

Time passes slowly. .

His throat was dry and he said: "Mr. Parker, why are you here today?"

"Haha~ I told you, I will get to know you, be friends, and give you the answer~!"

"..Then what?"

"Then?" Mr. Parker calmed down his expression and thought about this question seriously.

After a while, he patted his leg as if he had found the answer and said: "I can introduce you to my new boss, David Coleman~"

"He is... my favorite boy! You will definitely become good friends!"

"I.."

"Didn't you say that David... didn't know what you were doing?"

"Haha~ Yes~ But... you can tell him when you see him!"

"I.."

"Why should I tell him?"

"Because... you are the director of the FBI! He shouldn't be suspicious of your words!"

"I.."

"Mr. Parker, what do you want when you do all this?"

"Well... have fun!"

"what?"

"It's just...enjoy the kind of telling the truth...the joy that makes people extremely happy!"

shxx! ! !

Harold Stone simply chose to close his eyes. .I want to not let the anger in my heart overwhelm the remaining trace of reason. .

Mr. Parker looked at the silent Harold Stone with interest, and the joy rising in his heart made him want to stop. .

Be a person who only tells the truth. .The truth teller~

This is a novel experience that Mr. Parker learned from David~

This kind. .In the face of FBI Director Harold Stone, the feeling of being able to tell all the secrets without restraint really made Mr. Parker a little bit. .It's a bit addictive and addictive~!

. . .

If David knew what Mr. Parker was thinking now. .I'm afraid they will pull out a machine gun and kill him directly. .The kind that can't even be scratched!

. . .

The brain circuits of people with brain problems. .

It is indeed elusive and difficult to understand!

Shit~!It's all bullshit!

These. .Those are the words that are echoing in Harold Stone’s mind right now~

----

In the small conference room.

After a period of silence, Harold Stone stared at Mr. Parker and asked again: "Have you ever done anything illegal?"

"In the United States... there is nothing! I can tell you all the things I do. What kind of things are you interested in?"

"Everything! Tell me~"

"Haha~Okay~"

Mr. Parker pondered for a moment, stood up, unbuttoned his coat, and showed the contents inside the coat to Harold Stone. .said with a smile.

"Do you recognize it? The latest high-tech product!"

"Is this...a bug? fxxx!"

Harold Stone gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to jump up and beat Mr. Parker to death. .He said viciously. .

"This is the FBI headquarters, there is..."

"Haha~ You mean... jamming device?"

"Mr. Stone, it is either broken now, or it has lost its interference function~"

"I already confirmed this before I came in to see you."

"If you do this, I can arrest you right now!"

"Catch me?..."

"Mr. Stone, you mean... you want to arrest the friend you just met today and shared many secrets with you?"

Harold Stone felt his cheek muscles hurt from biting them. .

"Otis Parker! You bastard pervert~!"

"You bastard, you've been teasing me!"

When Mr. Parker heard this harsh curse word, his face instantly turned cold~

He slowly put on his coat, reached out and picked up the hat, gently played with it in his hand and said, "No, Mr. Stone, I came to see you today, and I came here with sincerity~"

"Mr. Stone, teasing you will not bring any... pleasure to me~"

"You fucking ****..."

"Hey~ Mr. Stone, please... watch your words! Please be polite... as you should be to your friends!"

"I told you, you ask questions and I answer them!"

"I have tried my best to give you answers to your questions~"

"Could it be... that by giving you the truth, I am teasing you? Mr. Harold Stone?"

"Is there such a truth in this world? Mr. Harold Stone?"

Harold Stone stared at Mr. Parker coldly, and said slowly: "What exactly do you want?"

Mr. Parker frowned and said with a little pity in his eyes: "I don't want to repeat the same words again!"

"It was a pleasure chatting with you today, Mr. Stone!"

"If you haven't made up your mind to arrest me, I hope that the next meeting between us will be like a gathering of old friends, Mr. Stone!"

"No~ I don't want to see you again! Otis Parker!"

"Haha~ So... I... can leave, right?"

"...Yes~you x...please disappear before my eyes!"

"Okay~ Goodbye~ Mr. Stone! My friend!"

Mr. Parker had an expression on his face that showed he was satisfied that Harold Stone could control his emotions. He put on his hat with a smile, nodded slightly, turned around and opened the door, taking a gentlemanly step. .Left~!

Harold Stone stared blankly at the back of Mr. Parker as he left. .

There was no word or movement for a long time.

Torres, has been paying attention to the small conference room.

He saw Mr. Parker leaving, and with a hint of curiosity in his heart, he walked into the small conference room and sat down opposite Harold Stone. .

Harold Stone saw Torres sit down, lean back, and let out a long breath.

"Torres, tell me what you saw!"

Torres' face looked a little complicated and he hesitated: "I..."

"Say it straight!"

"Okay~"

"I... saw you acting like an enraged and wounded beast... trying to calm yourself down!"

"You...you damn...what did you learn from Professor Paul Ekman?"

"Well... I saw it from Mr. Parker... He seemed to be very satisfied with his prey..."

"...Uh...hehe~hahahaha~"

Harold Stone was quoted this sentence. .The prey's defense was completely broken~

He was a little happy, a little angry, and a little angry. .He laughed irrationally and let out the long-suffering feeling in his heart. .Impulse and rage, and. .fear!

Torres looked at some. .The crazy Mr. Harold Stone looked at him venting his laughter. .Watching him slowly regain his composure amid laughter, looking at him. .Sort out your clothes, manage your expressions, and become FBI Director Harold Stone again!

"Mr. Stone, I think... you shouldn't see that Mr. Parker again!"

"No! Torres, he and I will definitely meet again!"

"You...you...what did he say to you?"

"Haha~ He said a lot, too much!"

"It's better that you don't know!"

"Okay~"

Torres closed his mouth, looked down at his hands, thought for a moment, stood up and continued.

"Do you need me to do anything else?"

Harold Stone pondered for a moment, with a smile on his face: "Let's go to the headquarters and apply for a batch of the latest signal jamming equipment!"

"...What?"

----

San Francisco.

Union Square Hilton Hotel.

David looked helplessly at Bloomer who had fallen asleep and Giles who was trying to stay awake. .Started scratching my head~

These two guys~

how. .this meeting. .Is it really that helpful for sleeping?

David doesn’t think so either!

"Hey~ wake up!"

Bloomer opened his eyes a little and listened to the hypnotic magic sound coming from the stage. He raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing!?"

David had a headache and whispered: "You were snoring just now!!"

"Oh... Really~ I... I'll pay attention~" Blumer responded vaguely, tilted his head and fell asleep again. .

"fxxx!"

David tapped his forehead several times with the pen in his hand. .

this. .Two Adou who can't help him~ It's true. .

Hey~!
