Chapter 1598: Nowhere to Escape
Yes, Lincoln admitted his dependence on Lee.
During the development of the gangster, he enjoyed too much convenience and care.
If possible, Lincoln hopes that this convenience can be maintained. It is now impossible for him to return to his former life.
From the moment he decided to get his hands dirty, he fell into the mire and had no chance to struggle to escape.
Therefore, he must ensure that there is enough strength on the surface to protect his own safety.
Lincoln was to be the first to throw himself at the new king, to be his dirty glove.
It is precisely because of this that he needs to handle this matter well so that the other party can see his ability.
After getting the approval of the boss, the gangsters started to act.
Can't kill them outright, but a minor injury, or disability isn't fatal.
The important thing is to get them out of America, it doesn't matter where they go, as long as they don't show up here again.
Plus, suck every penny they took from Miss Christina before then.
When they ran across the border, the only thing they could take with them was their underwear.
Peggy takes the kids and hides in a motel, and they're in dire shape.
It should be said that Madi's situation is very bad.
His leg was injured, and with the treatment and accommodation, they were running out of money.
Peggy still has a lot of money in her account, but she would not choose to go to the bank at this time, because she would just be contributing to others.
Those goddam bastards have been chasing them.
They couldn't stay in one place for long, and Peggy tried calling the police.
All they do is leave obediently, and after the police leave, it won't be long before someone comes back.
Or another group of people, who knows how many people there are.
To deal with such a person, unless the police can pay attention to it, or have enough money or identity to be confident.
Otherwise, the presence of the police will only make matters worse.
So Peggy gave up this path, and she had to find another way.
Growing up in the chaotic slums, she wasn't easily intimidated, but she knew just as well what these people were up to.
"Let's leave tomorrow morning and go to the next town to find a place to change Maddie's dressing." Peggy said to the children laying on the floor.
The place on the bed was already taken by the wounded Maddie and the girls.
There were some footsteps outside, and Peggy thought it was someone who lived next door, but soon the footsteps stopped in front of her room.
Everyone became tense, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Peggy asked warily.
The others huddled together, only Brody, the third child, grabbed the iron ashtray on the table.
When Maddy got hurt, he was the oldest kid in the family and something had to be done.
"Room service, do you need hot water or towels?" A woman's voice came.
Brody let go of the ashtray in his hand, and the others let go again, and the tense expression on their faces eased and relaxed again.
"Put water and towels at the door." Peggy was very vigilant.
There was a whisper, she knew that the other party was cursing her for being petty and troublesome, but she didn't mind at all, instead she was a little happy.
Because that means it's really room service out there, not jerks chasing them.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and after a few minutes after the sound disappeared, Peggy opened the door carefully, and then pushed the door inward with a force.
"F-K, you can't do this, come, come, help!" Seeing the figure breaking into the room, Peggy immediately yelled.
The lights on the sides that had been on went out in an instant, and then all the lights downstairs went out, and soon the motel was like a ghost town.
Except for the struggle and screams on the second floor, even the night breeze became weaker.
When they were thrown into the car again, all sound died away.
After 45 minutes, the car stopped on the desolate side of the state highway. The door was opened, and several black figures were pushed out of the car and fell into the weeds beside the road.
"F-K, you fucking bastards, you're a bunch of incompetent scum,
Bitch..." Peggy stood on the side of the road and kept cursing.
Brody helped Maddy, who was moaning in pain, and shouted loudly: "Mom, mom, stop shouting, Maddy's wound is bleeding."
"Damn it." Peggy looked at her struggling son, and then at the desolate road before and after, and couldn't help roaring angrily: "You bitch who killed thousands of knives, you will have retribution."
From late at night to dawn, they finally encountered a passing pickup truck.
The other party kindly asked them to get in the car and sent them to the nearest town, where Maidi's leg was treated.
After stopping the bleeding and changing the dressing, the doctor talked with Peggy for a while: "It was a gunshot wound...and he needs a safe place to rest."
"If the wound is pulled again, it will be difficult to keep his leg." The doctor didn't want to be too much, because Peggy didn't seem like a good person.
The face is full of flesh, the bones are broad, and the tonnage is large.
As a woman, she could have competed in Hercules or gladiatorial competitions.
The small town doctor has seen many strange faces, and they often have secrets that they cannot bear to look back on when they come here.
No matter what it is, it means trouble. There is only one secret for him to live a stable life: just pay for medical treatment and never worry about it.
After leaving the clinic with the children, Peggy stood on the street looking at the strange town, not knowing where to go for a while.
"Let's find a place to rest first!" Peggy sighed.
They all need rest now, after a day and two nights of sleepless nights and walking about 20 kilometers, they are exhausted.
They randomly found a small hotel, and Peggy and the others were about to check in, when a few big men who didn't look like nice people walked in at the door.
"Oh ~ F-K." Peggy's eyes showed helplessness, and the children were completely desperate.
Are these damned fellows ghosts?
For five days in a row, they only rested for two hours and were driven around like animals.
When they stopped again, they were in front of a farm not far from the border.
At this time, Peggy was even more embarrassed than before. Her front teeth were missing, her eyes were black and blue, and there were shallow cuts above her ears.
The money in her bank account was also withdrawn from different cities three times.
All the money fell into the hands of those demons, and Peggy hadn't eaten anything but weeds by the roadside for two days.
They no longer have any hope of returning to New York, and all they want to do now is survive.
The other party is like a ubiquitous ghost, staring at them like this all the time, and will rush up to humiliate and torture them if they relax a little.
Peggy's front teeth and the wound on her face were left at that time. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, the ear with the knife edge might have disappeared.
Looking at the barbed wire fence in the distance, Peggy said weakly: "Let's go, let's go."
The disheveled Brody supported Maddie, who was pale and looked like he was about to die, and asked feebly, "Where are you going?"
Peggy raised her finger to the barbed wire fence, where there were only sporadic spots of light, like fireflies in the field at night.
Even for them, the world behind the barbed wire is a frighteningly desolate place, and who knows what's there.
