The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 59 Traitor
The explosive scene was captured in the camera lens. Hawke suddenly felt the phone vibrating in his pocket. He picked up the camera with one hand, leaned against the lamppost, and slid down while turning.

He unbuckled the rope, checked quickly to make sure nothing was missing, crossed the street, and hid in the parking lot.

After a while, a patrol car with red and blue lights flashing drove south along the road.

Hawke didn't leave in a hurry. He called Edward and got in the car to check what was filmed.

At night, it’s a bit far away and the picture isn’t particularly clear.

But the camera Eric gave as a gift was powerful enough to tell who was participating in the performance from multiple close-up shots.

At this moment, Hawke fully understood why Bro Derek forgave Sarah Parker and why they still loved each other after the cheating scandal.

Edward rushed back, knocked on the passenger window, got in the car, and asked quickly, "Boss, what did you take pictures of?"

Hawke turned the camera display screen around: "Look."

Edward's eyes widened instantly: "Sure enough, as expected, they are really good at playing!"

He was incoherent: "These bastards are having such a crazy time, and we can only watch from the outside. It's too much, too unfair!"

"Why, you want to join in?" Hawke opened his laptop, connected the data cable, and transferred the video.

Edward shook his head repeatedly: "No, I'm not interested. I can't accept this at all."

This old black man, who had no normal mind, asked tentatively: "Boss, what about you?"

Hawke casually said: "If young Brooke Shields and Jennifer Connelly came together, I would be very satisfied. If Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron invited me together now, I probably wouldn't refuse."

Edward couldn't stand such pretense: "I can now confirm that you are suffering from paranoia, Boss."

Hawke transferred the video and made two more copies.

Edward asked, "We're going to sell the video next?"

Hawke began to teach his younger brother something, and slowly said, "Savior, we have three options. Like before, we can sell it to the TV station. I believe Megan Taylor will offer a high price. Secondly, we can find the door of the manufacturer in the Holy Valley. They should buy the three-person video of the heroine of Sex and the City. The last one is to sell it to the person involved. The price may be higher, but it is very risky."

Edward couldn't think of such complicated things, so he said directly: "Aren't we just trying to make money?"

On the surface, this is true, but Hawke wants to get people in addition to making money.

Brow is an executive of the production company and an even more powerful producer. So far, there has been no evidence that he is drinking or taking drugs. It will be much more difficult to deal with him than Robert Downey Jr., whose brain is full of drugs.

What Hawke currently knows is the abnormal relationship between Bro and Sarah.

This video may be a test case and spark something different.

After all, Bro Derek's identity is not ordinary. His status as a film company executive and producer is simply incomparable to that of a star.

Hawke took out his cell phone and checked the time. Tonight's "Midnight Entertainment" had already started.

He started the car and drove directly to Beverly, to the Fox Television Center, asked Edward to look after the copy, and went upstairs with his notebook.

Holding a Channel 11 correspondent card, Hawke went upstairs where the "Midnight Entertainment" show had just ended.

When Megan Taylor heard Claire say Hawke was here, she went straight to the reception room to see him without even taking off her makeup.

Hawke saw her come in and took a quick look. Megan was wearing a short skirt, stockings, and high heels, and a slim-fitting blazer with a deep V-neck lining, which emphasized her legs, chest, and face, a typical Fox style.

"You're prettier than on TV," he said politely.

"Thank you." Megan came to the table and talked about work directly: "What heavyweight news have you filmed? Is it enough to make the headlines?"

Hawke, sitting at his desk, turning on his computer, said, "Wait a minute."

Megan simply turned over there and stood beside him.

Hawke reminded him, "You'd better ask someone to prepare the funds in advance. I'm worried that you won't have enough money left this month."

Megan asked, "Explosive level?"

Hawke is not kidding: "It's very explosive."

Megan took out her cell phone and made a call, asking someone to apply for funding in advance.

At this time, there were still a large number of people working at the Fox Television Center.

Hawke turned on the laptop, opened the video and started playing it directly.

Amid the rustling sound of the wind, three people appeared on the screen. One of them was sitting on the sofa and watching.

This part was not clear at the beginning, but the camera was adjusted afterwards, the picture clarity was improved and a close-up was also pulled in.

Megan stretched out a finger and tapped the space bar, pausing the video. She looked carefully at the three people on it and quickly confirmed: "The woman is Sarah Parker, the heroine of Sex and the City. If I am not mistaken, the person sitting on the sofa is her husband Bro Derek. The man behind her looks familiar..."

Hawke studied the Bros. couple's information and specifically looked at the cast list of Sex and the City. He said, "Jason Lewis was a model when he was young and walked the runway for some big brands. Later, he switched to being an actor, but his career was average."

Megan nodded slightly and pressed the space bar to continue playing.

Megan's breathing was rapid, and the breath she exhaled fell right next to Hawke, so hot that it seemed to ignite the air.

This is a natural reaction of a media person when seeing explosive news.

The video ended at this time, and Megan placed a hand on Hawke's shoulder: "Play it again."

Hawke noticed her hands were shaking slightly and clicked replay.

Megan's eyes widened and her eyelids seemed to stop blinking, making sure that the video was correct and the person in it was correct.

After all, this type of video is too sensitive.

Unlike the female stars in the Holy Valley who are hard to recognize when they put on clothes, there are too many female stars in Hollywood who are radiant when they put on clothes and have an aura that can be seen from a distance.

But after taking off clothes and makeup, they look very ordinary, and some people even doubt whether they are the real people.

Meghan knows that many reporters have no bottom line and said: "I need someone to confirm their identity."

Hawke also didn't trust her: "It's right here."

Megan called, and soon three people came into the reception room, one of them also had a notebook in his hand.

Sarah Parker has starred in several scenes that were more explicit in her past works.

The man called up the clearest clip and froze it on the screen.

Hawke also paused the video he shot, which showed the clearest close-up shot of Sarah.

A woman pointed on the screen: "Look, here, here, and here, Sarah's mole is in exactly the same position."

Men have more say in this matter. Another person said, "It can't be wrong."

Megan asked them to leave first and told them: “Keep it a secret for now.”

After the door closed, Hawke said directly: "10 US dollars, you can take the video."

Megan pulled out her chair and sat across from him, crossing her arms over her chest, "Donny is dead, but Sarah is not."

He stood up slowly. "I also contacted Christina from Channel 6's Entertainment Live."

Megan knows the scarcity of this kind of news and that it is a seller’s market: “Old rules.”

Hawke responded, "No problem."

It took a long time to sign the agreement and get the check because it was too late.

Claire took the copy to the editing room to study.

When Hawke went out, he walked with Megan who was getting off work.

Coming out of the elevator, Megan reminded Hawke: "Your pants are worn out."

Hawke looked down and saw that his inner thigh might have been rubbed open when he slid down too fast. He was not embarrassed: "It's inevitable when climbing the wall to the roof."

Next time I will prepare a lift truck in advance and pretend to be a maintenance worker.

The two walked towards the parking lot together. Megan turned her eyes to look at him carefully: "You look very strong."

Hawke responded: "Not bad, I exercise regularly."

Megan nodded, said nothing more, and walked directly to her car.

Hawke got into the business car driven by Edward and said to Edward who was waiting in the car: "Hey, buddy, I'll give you a bonus tomorrow."

The next morning, Megan arrived at the TV station before ten o'clock and notified the main staff of the program team to hold a meeting.

Before everyone in the conference room arrived, Claire came over and said, "Meghan, channel director Cynthia Rothberg asked you to temporarily seal the video you got last night. Go to her office immediately!"

Megan realized something, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, sweeping across the faces of everyone in the conference room.

There might be a traitor in her production team.
