Chapter 159 Peter? Peter! (Two in One)

The police arrived quickly, even faster than Tommy himself.

They can’t help but be quick.

The robbery took place in a luxurious commercial district, and those who can open a store here are mostly rich or noble.

If something goes wrong here, I really don’t know what will be written in the newspaper tomorrow.

There is another key reason.

The Krusty Krab is not an ordinary fast food restaurant. It is very famous in China and many big shots have dined here.

Let’s put it this way, there are photos of the current US president hanging on the wall, which shows how special this restaurant is.

Of course, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

Sometimes, the words of the American president may not always reach the grassroots.

But if it were the mayor of New York City, the situation would be very different.

There are rumors that the owner of the Krusty Krab is having an affair with the mayor's daughter.

It is really difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

But no one dared to bet on the authenticity of this matter.

At least the New York Police Commissioner doesn't dare.

Whenever Mr. Vercetti felt dissatisfied, he would complain to the mayor's daughter intentionally or unintentionally.

Then his career as police chief would be over.

It's not that he's exaggerating.

As a politician, he must remain vigilant at all times, otherwise he will not be able to go far in his career.

Chief Creek believes that he is still young and can continue to contribute to the city, but he does not want to retire too early and leave such a good position as police chief.

He was still thinking about climbing higher.

Because of this, he attached great importance to this robbery case, dispatched a large number of police forces at the first time, and contacted the best negotiation experts in New York.

Moreover, he personally led the team and appeared on the scene at this moment, standing outside the door of the Krusty Krab.

Just at this moment, Tommy drove up and as soon as he got out of the car, a pot-bellied guy immediately came over.

"It's been a long time, Tommy."

The police chief wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and greeted Tommy.

Tommy naturally responded as well. He stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other party, and started to speak politely.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Crick. I remember the last time we met was at the ball hosted by the mayor."

Yes, Tommy had met the director before him.

It should be said that the two people have had quite a lot of dealings with each other.

He often donates to the Police Welfare Association.

This is a very normal thing, everyone does this, but his approach is a little bigger.

No matter what era or world, it is always useful to have a good relationship with the police.

Isn’t this clear evidence?
As soon as the incident happened at the Krusty Krab, the New York police arrived immediately, even faster than the boss himself.

With this attitude, his money was not wasted.

After a few polite words, Director Bernard Creek briefly introduced the situation on the scene and then explained the action plan.

Tommy listened and nodded, thinking it was no big deal.

If it really doesn't work out, isn't he still there to back it up?

Moreover, he also received the most accurate information from his men, and had a general idea of the robbers involved in this robbery.

A rabbit, a chipmunk, and a Mad Hatter.

If Tommy remembered correctly, the characters played by these people should be from a famous children's literature work.

It's called Alice in Wonderland.

It is a work written by an English author in the nineteenth century.

The book mainly tells the story of a little British girl named Alice who accidentally falls into a rabbit hole while chasing a talking rabbit with a pocket watch, and thus enters a magical country and experiences a series of fantasy adventures.

This book has a far-reaching influence, and has spawned numerous derivative works that are widely circulated around the world.

The three robbers might have loved Alice in Wonderland so much that they dressed themselves up as characters in the book.

Tommy told him his analysis and Chief Creek nodded in agreement.

Since the three robbers’ clothing and appearance imitated the characters in the book, it is possible that their personalities and behaviors were also imitated.

This is a significant breakthrough for subsequent negotiations.

The two talked for a while, while the police on the other side were carrying out preparations in an orderly manner, setting up cordons to prevent interference from the onlookers.

To be honest, Tommy originally came here for the points.

But when he got to know the robbers, he was immediately disappointed.

Although the three men were dressed strangely, they did not have any superpowers. They were just ordinary people holding guns.

A villain of this level is at best a street thug.

According to the system's evaluation criteria, he estimated that these people could provide thirty points, which was already very good.

And this has to be the bandit leader. As for the two supporting characters, Tommy didn't even look at them.

It was such a waste of his excitement.

Therefore, he was too lazy to do it himself.

He also withdrew members of the Vercetti gang from the store, leaving them guarding only a few important intersections.

After all, the New York police are here, so they have to show their abilities, right?
Taking this into consideration, Tommy did not interfere in the rescue operation and left everything on the scene to Chief Creek.

Moreover, he was also quite curious about the negotiation.

After all, he had never seen a serious negotiation scene, except for a few times on TV.

Now that I can see it with my own eyes, at such a close distance, it is a rare experience.

This did alleviate some of the frustration that the Krusty Krab had felt at being robbed.

However, before the negotiations officially began, something unexpected happened on the scene.

A middle-aged lady ignored the police's dissuasion, broke through the cordon and rushed in front of Tommy and the others.

Seeing this scene, Director Creek's brows immediately furrowed and his expression looked not very good.

What’s wrong with these subordinates? How come they can’t even handle such a small matter?

She was just a powerless woman, but she couldn't even stop him and let him get so close to her.

It’s okay if it’s an ordinary citizen this time, but what should we do next time if it’s a killer with a gun or a terrorist with a bomb tied to his body?

Then wouldn't he, the police chief, and the tycoon beside him, both be blown into the sky and die?

Of course, his worries were unnecessary.

I don't know whether he will die or not, but Tommy won't be hurt anyway.

But no matter what the final result is, the logic here is wrong.

Thinking of this, Creek winked at several police officers, indicating that they should take the lady away immediately.

The woman was naturally unwilling. While struggling, she shouted loudly:
"Please save my nephew Peter, he is just a child!"

"Wait first!"

After hearing this, Tommy immediately asked the policemen to stop.

The policemen who had taken action turned to look at their chief. When they saw Creek nod in agreement, they immediately stopped what they were doing and brought the middle-aged lady to Tommy and the other two.

"You mean, the little boy inside is your nephew? What's his name?"

Tommy narrowed his eyes, an idea came to his mind, and he waited for the answer from the woman in front of him.

The other party's subsequent answer was indeed similar to what he expected.

"The boy's name is Parker, Peter Parker, and I'm his aunt May Parker."

Seeing that someone was willing to listen to her, the woman who called herself May Parker naturally told the whole story.

When Peter Parker was young, his parents died in an accident. He became an orphan and was entrusted to his uncle Ben Parker, May Parker's husband, for upbringing.

Coincidentally, the couple never had children.

Peter's arrival just filled the gap in their small family. The couple has always treated Peter as their own son and took care of him like their own child.

The life of the family of three is not rich, but they can barely make ends meet. They live such a simple life, which can be considered happy.

Unfortunately, a hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune always finds the unfortunate people.

As if cursed, Ben Parker unfortunately died in an accident, leaving this world and his beloved family.

May Parker suppressed her grief and used the remaining savings of her family to hold a decent funeral for her husband.

Since then, she has worked everywhere and raised her nephew Peter alone.

The main reason she came to the Krusty Krab today was because she found that Peter particularly liked the cartoon called "SpongeBob SquarePants" on TV and always asked her what the Krabby Patty tasted like.

May Parker had never tasted it, so of course she couldn't tell, and she was not one to lie to a child.

Fortunately, because of her hard work, the company gave her a bonus this month.

In addition, she had collected a lot of coupons during this period, which was just enough money for a set meal.

Thinking that Peter had not had a good day since he followed her, May Parker gritted her teeth and took Peter to the Krusty Krab and ordered a recently launched Krabby Patty combo meal.

May Parker didn't think much of it at first. After all, a hamburger was just a hamburger. No matter how delicious it was, it couldn't be that delicious. It wasn't healthy either, and wasn't as good as the food she cooked herself.

But when she tasted the burger herself, she found that her thinking was too narrow.

This thing called the Crab Patty is so delicious that it is beyond words. It is the most delicious thing she has ever tasted!

After taking a few bites, May Parker felt a little regretful. If she had known this, she would not have come here. She could have just eaten at the fast food restaurant near her home.

It's not that she was reluctant to spend money. As long as Peter was happy, she was willing to do anything.

She was more worried about another problem.

The crab burger was so delicious. What would she do if Peter developed a picky taste?

Not to mention a child like Peter, even an adult like her found the delicious crab patty so unforgettable that she wished she could eat it every day.

Just as May Parker was secretly worried and Peter was having fun with the toys given to him by the gift, a trio of robbers led by the White Rabbit broke into the Krusty Krab.

A robbery took place.

May Parker wanted to escape with Peter, but the scene was too chaotic and people rushed to the exit.

She was just pushed by someone, and when she lowered her head again, she could no longer see Peter. There is no need to say what happened next.

Tommy listened and nodded.

Good man, after all this time he still has something to do with this.

If he hadn't organized a joint package with the cartoon at the Krusty Krab, May Parker might not have brought Peter here, let alone let Peter be held hostage by robbers.

However, through the woman's story, he could confirm one thing.

The name Peter alone proves nothing.

After all, there are many people with this name.

Peter's position in America is like Zixuan and Zihan in Tommy's previous life.

There are at least eight thousand people with this name, so it's not surprising at all.

But with the two limiting conditions of Uncle Ben Parker and Aunt May, the identity of the little boy is obvious.

It was indeed the Peter Parker he remembered—the good neighbor of future New York and our good friend Spider-Man.

Thinking of this, Tommy took it a little more seriously, and his tone became more sincere. He looked at "Aunt Mei" standing opposite him and said with promise:
“Don’t worry, ma’am, we’ll keep Peter safe no matter what.

I might as well tell you that the person standing next to me is Commissioner Creek of the New York Police Department. It was he who personally led the team and successfully carried out the rescue operation in the Twin Towers incident.

I believe that this time, our director will not let us down and will definitely make sure your nephew returns safely."

When Tommy mentioned his name, Crick raised his head, puffed out his big belly, tried to look as dignified as possible, and patted his chest to make a promise.

After hearing Tommy and the others' assurances, Aunt May finally felt relieved and her mood calmed down a lot.

After a few more words of comfort, Creek signaled the police to take Aunt May away and let her rest aside so as not to interfere with the subsequent negotiations.

This time, Aunt Mei stopped struggling. She knew that her behavior just now was inappropriate.

But she really had no choice.

She has no biological children, only Peter as her nephew. If something goes wrong with him, how will she explain to her husband?

She also felt sorry for Peter's parents.

Looking at Aunt May's leaving figure, Tommy stroked his chin, thinking about something in his mind.

Of course, he was not attracted to Aunt May.

Although May Parker is well maintained and has a good figure, she is still a beautiful woman with charm.

In addition, the special identity of a widow may cause people to have different ideas.

But Tommy was not a soldier boy after all.

He had only respect for a woman like May Parker who raised a child alone, and had no strange thoughts.

What he really cares about is Peter Parker. If he can establish a good relationship with this little guy, he will have an extra superhero to help him in the future.

Just thinking about it made him feel beautiful.

Before he knew it, Tommy had arrived at the door of the Krusty Krab.

Negotiations began soon.

"Put the gun down and leave that kid alone!"

With a megaphone in hand, a police officer at the scene shouted.

But his warning did not work and instead provoked resistance from the robbers.

"Why, do you still want to shoot me?"

With hostages in hand, the robbers became very arrogant.

No matter what happens in private, on the surface, children are the biggest political correctness in America.

Of course, that means the person being held hostage is a white boy. If it was a black girl...

Well, some things are hard to say.
