The Invasion of Demons and Monsters

Chapter 9

It was another refreshing morning for work and school. When Yingxia changed into her uniform and went downstairs with her schoolbag on her back, she was surprised to see her father, who was usually absent from breakfast, sitting at the dining table, eating a nutritious breakfast prepared by Mrs. Gu.

"Dad... early..." said good morning first.

Ying Luo narrowed her eyes and watched her son walk down the stairs. His life was stable, he ate well and dressed well. His previous thinness was gone, his cheeks became rounder, his lips became more rosy, and he was as white and tender as a fat little rabbit. In general, being a father is really rewarding.

Yingxia opened the chair and sat down, eating hot porridge quietly, not daring to lift her head, even though she has been in this house for three months, she still feels uncomfortable seeing her father, her heart is always pounding, and her hands are sweating.

Ying Luo put down her chopsticks and stopped eating, turning her head to continue admiring her son.The uniform of the new school is based on the sailor uniform of the British Royal Navy. The white jacket is decorated with a blue bow-shaped silk collar and paired with dark trousers. Fresh and energetic, no matter how Dad looks at it, he will never get tired of watching it.

Sure enough, I chose the right school, Ying Luo thought.Although the conditions for him to choose a school are quite different from those of parents who expect their children to become dragons and phoenixes.

Thinking about it again, there are several other schools with good uniform styles, but unfortunately, if he hadn't installed protective staff in the place where Yingxia is currently studying, I really want to transfer my son to another school every month so that he can change into a different uniform , Play tricks every night.

Yingxia ate a bowl of porridge absent-mindedly, why did her father keep watching?Did I do something wrong again, or did I get rice grains on my face, or vegetable dregs in my mouth?Wooooow, stop watching...

A good breakfast has completely changed the tone. One eats one and the other looks at it. People don’t know what to eat. The people who watch it don’t care about the wine. ring tone.

Yingxia finally finished eating, stood up and said to her father, "I, I'm going to school."

"Ah."

Picking up the schoolbag, he almost wanted to escape, but when he passed by his father, he was suddenly pulled and fell into the familiar arms.

"Dad?" Surprised.

"Baby Xiaoxia..." the evil ghost whispered hoarsely: "Didn't you say you were tired last night? Don't go to class today..."

Ying Xia shuddered, blushed, and struggled to escape from her father's arms. She ran in such a hurry that she was almost tripped by the sofa, stumbled all the way out of the house, and hid in the pick-up vehicle as if fleeing for refuge.

Ying Luo laughed out loud. He just likes to see his son embarrassed and panicked. How could there be such an interesting creature in the world?He, who was tense up and prepared to go out to do some business, suddenly became happy.

He picked up the spoon again and drank the porridge. Not long after, Ah Hao came in and reminded him in a low voice.

"Brother, the seller is scheduled to arrive at eleven o'clock in the morning, and the brothers are all ready."

Ying Luo remained expressionless, took out her mobile phone, and dialed someone's number: "You have a letter, I can do it here, how about you?"

Weng Youxin on the other end of the phone asked: "Is it true that the young master won't come with you?"

"It's fine for the two of us to come forward." Ying Luo replied, "You and I have given enough face."

No key words were mentioned on the phone to prevent eavesdropping by relevant units.The drug supplier mentioned by Weng Youxin last time has been successfully contacted, and today the two parties are delivering for the first time.The seller requested that, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, please invite Weng Youxin’s boss to come and complete the transaction in person. Juyulou refused after hearing this suggestion, but the other party’s attitude was very rigid. If Juyulou did not come, there must be other buyers Queuing up, Ying Luo didn't want to give up on this supplier, so she took the initiative to invite Ying Luo to replace Ju Yulou to complete the transaction.

Due to the strict inspection by the customs, the normal channel cannot enter, so the seller used a fishing boat to avoid the ships of the Coast Guard, smuggled the goods ashore at night, and temporarily hid them in the abandoned dock warehouse, where the transaction location was also chosen.

At [-]:[-], after confirming that the environment around the warehouse was normal, several black-headed cars carrying Ying Luo's subordinates slowly drove into the abandoned dock.A group of people stood on the gray and white concrete floor. On one side was an almost scrapped old warehouse with half-closed iron rolling doors, and on the other side was a deserted stone dock. The salty sea breeze blew their black suits.

Before Weng Youxin arrived, Ah Hao nervously came over and whispered: "Brother, Shi Meitang hasn't even shown up yet, it's a bit strange."

Ying Luo looked at her watch and frowned, Weng Youxin was never late, what happened today?

Five silver-gray cars drove up from the other end of the pier, stopped a hundred meters before, and then came down a few short, dark-brown black-haired men. Except for the first one wearing sunglasses, everyone else was dressed They are all ordinary, the kind that can be encountered casually on the road, only the briefcases in their hands reveal their identities.

The seller from Southeast Asia, that is, Weng Youxin's drug supplier, is headed by Kuko.

From a group of people wearing dark suits, Cuco recognized the ruthless Ying Luo as the leader, but because he didn't see Weng Youxin, he was also suspicious, so he kept a wait-and-see attitude.

"Where's Mr. Weng?" Cuco asked.

Ying Luo immediately dialed the phone and was answered after two rings.

"Where is the person who believes in you? The guest has never seen me, so he is wary of me."

"There was a car accident on the road, and there was a traffic jam. Wait, I'll call him."

Five seconds later, Cuco picked up his mobile phone and had a brief conversation with Weng Youxin on the other end of the phone. He looked at Ying Luo while talking, probably because of Weng Youxin's assurance, and his alert expression dropped.

"Mr. Ying, I'm in a special industry, so I'm always wary of people I meet for the first time, don't mind me." He said.

"To each other, Mr. Cuco. Then, can you let me inspect the goods?" Ying Luo has always disliked procrastination, and she is currently engaged in illegal and bad behavior, so if she can finish her work early and go home, she will be less risky.

Kuko gestured backwards, and immediately a briefcase was brought by his subordinates. He opened it, took out a bag of white powder, and handed it to Yingluo.

"Please."

Ah Hao stepped forward to take it, he first dipped it on his fingertips and tasted it lightly, and passed it to Ying Luo when he felt it was all right.

"Very good. I hope that Mr. Cuco can continue to supply goods in the future and continue to cooperate with Tianhe Gang for a long time."

After Ying Luo finished speaking, she flicked her fingers, and several of her subordinates immediately sent briefcases, opened them, and there were neat stacks of US dollars inside.

Kuko's men counted the money on the spot, and the two parties were about to part after the money and goods were settled, when there was a sudden noise in the deserted warehouse. Take out the firepower to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the ones who sprang out were the special police. They were wearing black bulletproof vests, anti-break goggles and helmets, and armed with mobile weapons. Police cars with flashing red and blue warning lights also outflanked the pier.

"Withdraw!" Ying Luo changed her face and shouted.

A group of people in Cuco began to fight back, the sound of bullets roared endlessly, and a gunfight scene between police and robbers was staged on the abandoned pier.The people in Shandiaotang are usually well-trained, some of them protect Ying Luo to get into the car first, and the other part cover his car back on the spot, so as to keep the master from leaving safely.

Chen Yi, who was driving the car, was originally a racing driver, and he used his life-threatening skills to go on a rampage. Ahao, who was in the passenger seat, also took the gun under the seat and fired continuously, forcing back the police who blocked the road. After knocking a police car away, he broke through the encirclement, turned around with a big flick, and escaped outside with full power.

After the police car chased after him, Chen Yi picked up all the small roads and rushed. Not long after, the supporting police force increased, and sentry roadblocks were set up at important intersections. It is not an exaggeration to be a local snake, and soon the support staff also came out, so they set up suspicious lines to disrupt the pursuit. When the police found out that they had intercepted the wrong vehicle, Ying Luo had already changed to another car and went to another county to avoid the limelight.

Yingxia didn't hear any rumors here, but found that the driver Chengzhi didn't come when school was over that day. Instead, Mrs. Gu took him to a nearby restaurant. Yingxia asked why, but Mrs. Gu only said that it was not convenient to come back Home, the rest did not say much.

Yingxia is used to being submissive, and she doesn't know what her father is up to. When she sleeps alone in a big room in a hotel, she feels a little flustered.

Will Dad not want me anymore?

Although he feared and resented his father a few months ago, by now, the negative emotions have long since dissipated. He likes his father, even though his father often ignores his thoughts and does annoying things to him anytime and anywhere, but deep down in his heart, he Not disgusted.

He is simple, but not stupid. When he was a child, his elders regarded him as an invisible person, thinking that as long as he was provided with the minimum living needs, they ignored that what children want most is love and attention, and what they have never had is given by their father. When he came back, he made him forget that this father had actually ignored him for more than ten years.

Ying Xia doesn't hold grudges, she only sees the present, but people say that happiness is often as short-lived as a bubble, so when the time comes and the bubble bursts, will her father abandon herself without saying a word?

Worried, fearful, he hoped to see his father immediately, but he could only obediently accept the arrangement.

That night he cried himself to sleep, but the next morning he wiped away his tears, changed into a uniform that had been dry-cleaned by the hotel, and went to school with his schoolbag.

On the morning of the third day, just after the second Chinese class ended, the nurse in the school’s health room stopped Yingxia while she was going to the bathroom, saying that all the students in their class had completed their health checks when the school started. The transfer student Yingxia's information is missing.

Not suspicious, Ying Xia followed to the health room, where the nurse locked the door and asked him to take off his trousers.

"Huh?" Ying Xia didn't know what was going on.

A long black wig was thrown over, and a dark pleated skirt made Ying Xia even more confused.

"Mr. Ying asked me to take care of you at school. He said you were easily bullied." The nurse said.

Ying Xia's eyes turned red, but she still didn't understand, what does this have to do with the wig dress?

The nurse continued to explain: "Mr. Ying is wanted by the police, and there are people watching outside the school. He can't show up. Let me take you to see him. Hurry up and pretend to be a female student, and I will tell the guard at the gate that you are severely anemic. Take it to the hospital."

"Wanted by the police? Why, why?" Ying Xia panicked all of a sudden, but then suddenly realized that this was the reason her father sent him to a hotel.

"I'll tell you on the way. Change clothes quickly, we have to be back before school."

Yingxia was full of doubts, and she didn't know whether she should trust this person. After thinking about it for a few seconds, she thought that maybe he was really in trouble because she hadn't seen her father for a few days, so she obediently took off Change the trousers into a skirt.

The tops of the male and female uniforms of this school are the same style, only the lower body is different, the girls wear skirts, and the boys have trousers. Yingxia changed clothes and put on a wig, and black-rimmed prescription glasses. He has fair skin and a thin waist. Dressed up, it really looks like a beautiful Japanese girl.

The nurse's car was parked in the faculty parking lot, urging him to leave quickly.Yingxia walked with her head down. He felt that his crotch was very empty without wearing a skirt. When he walked, the wind picked up and blew into the hem of the skirt. It was so cool that he was not used to it. Fortunately, he got into the car soon, and he held the skirt with both hands in the front seat. With her long hair half covering her face, she is already a sickly beauty without any special pretense.

When passing through the reception room, the school guard recognized the nurse driving the car and let it go without asking any questions. The nurse was worried that the watcher would become suspicious, so she drove towards the hospital at first, walked around the hospital a few times, and confirmed that no one was following her. On the fast road, head south.

On the way, the nurse gave a brief account of the information that Yingluo sent her through others. She was not an important cadre in the Shanxi Hall, but only knew that the hall owner was busted by the police for selling drugs and is currently absconding.The police got clues, knowing that Yingluo's son was studying in a high school in the city, and analyzed that Yingluo would abscond with his son, so they sent people to watch outside the school these days, waiting for Yingluo to show up.

Ying Luo calmed down, knowing that the advantage of the police watching Ying Xia was that the enemies hiding in the dark did not dare to attack Ying Xia, and the police's actions helped a lot, but because he was smuggled out, he wanted to leave anyway. Go see your son.

After driving for an hour, the car got off the interchange, and a blue car was waiting there. The driver looked like an ordinary person, and he didn't speak. He drove Yingxia to other roads. In a remote place, in a small town, Yingxia changed to another dilapidated SUV and was really relieved when she found out that the driver was an acquaintance.

Ah Hao, the most loyal and capable right-hand man by his father's side, with a messy beard and tired face, dirty clothes, and no usual capable and unrestrained appearance.

"Young master, the mountain road is bumpy, bear with it." Ahao said this when he fastened his seat belt.

Ah Hao is right. The next mountain road is not only narrow, but also very uneven. Most of the road is excavated along the mountain wall, and only one car can pass through. Often the right side almost brushes against the rocks, but the left side is only one meter away from the vertical. The cliffs, not to mention the series of detours and steep slopes, half an hour later, Ying Xia was also motion sick and dizzy, and she couldn't even appreciate the scenery.

Finally, we stopped in front of a hut. It was a wooden holiday hut. It should be a temporary residence for farmers at the bottom of the mountain when they went up to work. The generator was running, and the mountain spring water was drawn from the half-cut bamboo next to the house. It was quite comfortable. residence.

"Brother is inside, young master, go in, I will take you down the mountain later." Ahao said.

"Thank you Brother Ahao." Ying Xia said, rushing into the cabin impatiently.

The interior of the wooden house is divided into a living room and a bedroom. Yingxia's eyes were not able to adapt to the dim interior environment. After a while, she realized that there were two men sitting in the living room. The hair is messy, it's Ying Luo, and the other person looks much more tidy, Ying Xia doesn't know him.

When Ying Luo first saw Ying Xia, she frowned warily, as if she had never seen this person before.

"Father..." Ying Xia shouted, although it was a reunion after a small farewell, he was still cautious, but his eyes were sore and he wanted to cry.

"Xiao Xia?" Ying Luo recognized the voice.

Another man said: "Ying Luo, I remember you called your son, why did you become a daughter?"

daughter?Ying Xia was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she was dressing up as a girl, and felt embarrassed on the spot, no wonder her father couldn't recognize her just now, and was about to tear off the wig, but Ying Luo stopped her.

He said to the man, "I have something to say to my son."

That person was Juyulou of the Tianhe Gang, he made a gesture of please, turned around and walked out.

"Come here." Ying Luo beckoned to her son.

Yingxia walked over cautiously, was pulled by her father to the back bedroom, closed the door, sat on the bed with him in her arms, took off the fake glasses on her son's face, and looked at it in detail, although her son's eyes were tearful and bloodshot , he looked pretty good, he shouldn't have suffered, so he was relieved and hugged him, feeling a rare peace of mind in the past few days.

Pulling off the long wig to reveal his son's original appearance, Ying Luo said, "Xiao Xia is very pretty as a girl, but Dad still likes to see your original appearance."

Yingxia also took a close look at her father. It was only a few days since she saw her. Her father was much depressed. The domineering spirit he was used to was exhausted by exhaustion. Even a wolf would sometimes feel like a lost dog.

"Father..." She wanted to say a lot, but all of them were stuck in her throat.

Ying Luo gently stroked her son's cheeks, which were pink and tender.

In the few days of haste, he never thought that there would be a time when he would miss someone wholeheartedly. That kind of missing was like a knife, cutting deep into the flesh and bones all the time. Not at all, Ying Luo can almost be sure of that.

"Father?" Seeing her father in a daze, Ying Xia yelled again.

Ying Luo regained consciousness and smiled wryly.

"You should have heard, I lost the Shandiaotang, and I can't even go home..."

Ying Xia opened her eyes wide, and after being dazed for a while, her body writhed uneasily.

"The foundation built here over the past few years is ruined, and even you have to..." He couldn't continue, but he hugged him even tighter, stubbornly thinking that if he let go, he would lose his precious son.

Ying Xia was still twisting, trying to stretch out her hand, Ying Luo sighed and let go.

"Afraid?"

Ying Xia shook her head, raised her eyebrows, a little wronged and stubborn, then, she took the initiative to hug her father with her free hands, and also hugged her tightly, fearing that if she let go, he would lose this father.

"Father..." He raised his head: "I won't study anymore, let's hide in a distant place, don't show your face, I can go out to work, and I will support you."

Surprise flashed in the dark eyes, Ying Luo originally thought that the good baby Ying Xia would imitate some tragic and righteous protagonists on TV and persuade herself to surrender, but she didn't expect her son to say something unexpected.

Yingxia continued: "...It doesn't matter if I don't have a house, and it doesn't matter if I don't have a degree. I can work in supermarkets and fast food restaurants. I will work hard to make money..."

Courage and perseverance swelled in his chest. Yingxia, who has always been passive and timid, sincerely wanted to do this. Those proposals were originally the life plan he had drawn up when he imagined that he would one day escape from home and go out to live. But now, he puts Dad put it in the plan.

Seeing that his father looked a little strange, he immediately blushed and lowered his head, wondering if his father would make fun of him.

Ying Luo really laughed, this may be the longest string of words his son has ever said, and he really deserves to be Ying Luo's son who said these words on the eve of his father's possible Yindang imprisonment.

For several days, because I escaped from the police and fled to this refuge hut set up a long time ago, on the one hand, I had to stabilize the external situation, on the other hand, I had to arrange an escape route. I had no time to sleep, and my body and mind were forced to an extreme state. , but because of his son's words, his anxiety was soothed, and a pot of cool spring water poured down on his head.

Even my son is so strong, how can I be discouraged when I am a father?He is the head of the underworld with the title of "Evil Ghost". He built his foundation from scratch in the past few years. With his ability, even if the building collapses, he can rebuild another one.

As long as he is given time, it is not difficult to make a comeback.

"Baby Xiaoxia, let Dad tell you..." He hugged her back, and her voice returned to the previous danger and threat.

"Um……"

"Without the mandrill hall and the house, it doesn't mean that you can't afford to support you. The money your father saved in Switzerland in the past few years is enough for you to squander ten lifetimes. Do you hear me? Even if I'm not around, don't let me out. Work, if you are a son, you should obediently raise it for your father, and don't let me think about it!"

Yingxia didn't notice that Yingluo mentioned the money deposited in Switzerland, but only heard the words "Even if I'm not around", which hit his ears like a thunderbolt, knocking him out of his mind.

"Dad...will he be arrested?" He asked, his eyes turning redder.

"You have no confidence in your father?" Ying Luo sneered.

"No, I...worry..."

Ying Luo stroked his head and softened his attitude: "My good son, Dad has arranged a way out, and I'm leaving tonight. It's a pity that I can't take you with me, it's too dangerous..."

"I..." I want to be with my father, Ying Xia intends to say this, but hearing what her father said, she is actually afraid that she will be dragged down by him who is weak?Thinking of this, he swallowed the words behind him again.

Ying Luo read the thoughts in his son's eyes, if it was possible, why didn't he want to take his son away with him?However, the smuggling route is dangerous, and he has decided to go to Southeast Asia for a career in the next few years. The local underworld ecology is completely different from that here. He has to deal with it wholeheartedly and has no time to take care of his son.

and so--

"Here, be good. If you want to study, you can study. To kill some time, Dad will go out to start a business first, and when he is stable, he will come back to pick you up."

"Will you really come back to pick me up?" Ying Xia asked, a little scared. She heard her mother say the same thing when she was a child, but after she went abroad, she hasn't come back once until now.

"Do you dare to believe that Dad is not afraid of being spanked again?" Ying Luo became angry, and what he promised would definitely be done, there was no doubt about it.

I'd love to be spanked as long as daddy comes back.This time Ying Xia said so in her eyes.

Feeling that he should take some action to cheer up his father, the little rabbit plucked up the courage to raise his head and kiss him on the lips, a soft kiss, lighter than clouds, lighter than wind, hotter than lava, hot to his mouth.

Yingluo didn't expect his son to take the initiative, which surprised him even more than being seized by the police for buying and selling drugs.

"Baby Xiaoxia..."

"I'll wait for Dad." After kissing someone, the little white rabbit was shy, but still remembered to add this sentence.

How could such a lovely son Yingluo not be willing to kiss and love him?Gently and softly chasing that kiss back, chasing and flirting, and then deepening the kiss with tongue, as if an affectionate couple is lingering.

Kissing and kissing are easy to misfire, Ying Luo's hand slipped under the pleated skirt and covered her son's penis, making Ying Xia stiff again, but knowing that she was about to be separated from her father, he didn't hide no matter what, Shaking her body, she let herself be teased, and she didn't resist even when her finger was inserted into the secret hole.

"Hmm..." The moan is both sour and sweet, the sour is the sorrow before parting, and the sweet is the current skin-to-skin kiss.

Ying Luo teased her son more intensely, and was about to enter the situation when the responsible Ah Hao knocked on the door to remind her.

"Brother, it's time, I want to send the young master back."

Reluctant to part with it, Ying Luo pulled out her hand, the right moment was to kiss goodbye, so her lips and tongue mingled even more intensely.

"Young master has to rush back to school before school is over, you can't delay." Ah Hao knocked on the door even more urgently.

They had no choice but to separate, their eyes still reluctant to part.

"Xiao Xia, promise Dad one thing."

"Ah."

"Here, here, and here, don't touch anyone, and don't be touched by others." Pointing to his son's lips, the front and back of his lower body, he said viciously but intimately: "Your whole body , every hair and every fingernail belong to father.”

Is it too exaggerated?Ying Xia was somewhat disapproving, but she didn't dare to say no.

Ying Luo didn't hear an affirmative answer, so she pinched her son's chin and pressed, "Good boy, say yes."

After finally being gentle for a while, my father reverted to his old ways.

"Yes..." In the end, she finally responded, biting her lips, and Ying Xia also said: "Then...you said...as long as I tell you, you will do it..."

"Oh?" Ying Luo vaguely remembered that this was the line he used when bullying his son.

"Father here..." Qieqi touched the crotch of his father's pants: "I said... I won't give it to anyone else... it's mine..."

After speaking, the little white rabbit turned red from the top of its head to the soles of its feet, and its whole body was so hot that it was about to smoke. It became Guan Gong's little red rabbit.

Ying Luo laughed. His son had a desire to monopolize him, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"Father will never hug anyone else in the future, only baby Xiaoxia."

"...Okay..." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Big brother, big brother!" Ah Hao was still knocking on the door outside and yelling, disturbing the deep affection inside.

Finally, Yingluo watched his son get into the car and leave. The resentment of parting and the suffering he had suffered in the past few days made him even more annoyed at the enemy behind the scenes who leaked information to the police. He wanted to cut him open. one day--

Ju Yulou patted him on the shoulder.

"Is he really your son? Doesn't look like, doesn't look like..." Rubbing his chin, he asked meaningfully: "It looks like your little lover."

"It's my son, it's my lover." Ying Luo snorted: "Of course a son can also be a lover."

"You are actually better than me..." Ju Yulou smiled: "Will you let him here alone?"

"So what if I can't bear it? I will put all the blame on the man surnamed Weng, and I will definitely not kill him with a single shot, but push him to hell, day by day, life is better than death..." Said Sensen.

"Is there a letter? I checked. There was a car accident on the road at that time. It is a fact that he couldn't get to the pier in time. It can only be said that he was lucky and escaped."

Ying Luo said grimly: "I didn't doubt him before, so I didn't check it out. I got the news yesterday that he was sent by the Jihua Team to assist the young master ten years ago. Later, because he was afraid of your strength, he pretended Relying on us, we are actually looking for a chance to kill you..."

"There is evidence?"

"No, the person who gave the news is also a cadre of the Jihua Group, and he cannot come forward."

"Then, I can't use these as excuses for my father. In short, after Cuco was arrested, he confessed that I was behind the transaction with him, and even I became the number one criminal pursued by the police. In order not to implicate the Tianhe Gang, my father You have already severed ties with me and asked me to smuggle out of the country and come back when the rumors die down."

"It's really cruel." Ying Luo said, "He is absolutely perfect in the trick of cutting off the tail to survive."

"If you lose one of me and keep his Tianhe gang, you don't have to be in trouble in front of the Jihua group. Just let my brother take over the gang, and everyone is happy." Ju Yulou said jokingly, but his expression was not joking at all.

"So drive us to Southeast Asia and get some short sellers to help him smuggle things? The boss thinks highly of us too."

"Yingluo, I see you are eager to try, why, want to make a big business?"

"With the two of us working together, it is not difficult to create an organization bigger than the Tianhe Gang, right? Time will tell."

Ju Yulou laughed, his personality and thinking are similar to Ying Luo's, yes, being kicked out of the house is not a bad thing, losing the shade of his father, relatively speaking, is less restrictive, he can completely follow his own ideas To act, to break out a piece of the sky.

"Brother, it's all up to you." Ju Yulou said, very serious: "One day, I will come back and pull my brother to take that seat, and let him admit that I am better than him."

"You still have such a strong sense of competition with the young master, and you don't know what he owes you." Ying Luo said, "We really need to support each other and return home early. I really can't let go of my son."

"Don't worry, your son won't run away, and my brother..." sneered: "Can't run away."
