Lake took Betty and did not return to his home in Arlington County immediately.
reason?
Lake wanted to take his time and go back after 1:00 p.m. He would have to listen to Karen's nagging all afternoon and evening, so since he had to go back anyway, why not go back later?
Just right.
Betty wanted to go shooting, so Lake took Betty directly to a shooting range near Arlington County.
"Wow!"
Lake took off the target paper and looked at the nine holes in the ten rings. He marveled and said to Betty, who had taken off her earmuffs, "Not bad. Your shooting has improved."
God knows why Betty in this life is so fond of studying...guns.
Maybe it's because of Lake.
When Lake was in the army, he would meet Betty during his holidays. Betty would pester him about interesting things in the army, and somehow he ended up bringing Betty to the shooting range.
Over time.
Betty's marksmanship...is not great, but not bad either. At least based on her current level, she can hit the target within ten meters without missing a single bullet. Within a hundred meters, if the target is dead, Betty will also be able to hit the target without missing a single bullet if she has enough time to aim.
More than a hundred meters?
Three points depends on fate.
Betty winked at Lake and said, "Brother, let's have a competition."
Lake was slightly stunned: "What?"
Betty said, "Compare."
Lake looked up at the sky. It wasn't even dark yet, so why was he already dreaming?
but.
Lake thought about it, and since he had nothing to do, he said to Betty, "Okay."
Five minutes later.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The moment the target paper was fixed in place, Lake looked at Betty who was about to reload, and fired directly, firing ten bullets in two seconds.
The most glorious record of a New York Police Department officer is to fire a magazine in three seconds.
Lake also beat the fastest record by one second.
Betty next to her opened her mouth wide, looking at Lake who was staring at her, and then looking at the target paper with ten holes in the ten rings that was being pulled back towards her.
this...
"No more fighting!"
Betty just quit. What was there to compare? She hadn't even loaded the bullets yet, and the guns over there had already been fired.
You can't bully people like this.
Betty stamped her feet, not even taking her sky blue protective pistol, and walked straight out of the shooting range.
Lake was stunned.
Half an hour later.
On the way home again.
Lake sighed as he watched Betty looking at the two miniature copies of the target paper in her hand with satisfaction.
What is self-deception?
There is no doubt that Betty perfectly interpreted this point. She had two target papers in her hands, one with ten rings and ten holes on it, and the other with ten rings and eight holes on it.
Lake's is the latter.
but...
Even though Betty knew that Lake had deliberately let the water go, she still seemed very happy.
Surprisingly smart.
But this is not surprising, otherwise anyone with a normal brain would not look for a man ten years older than her, especially when that boy is a poor scientist.
"That's right."
Lake suddenly raised an eyebrow, glanced at the locker in front of the passenger seat and said, "You have been keeping your pistol in this car? Do Karen and the others know about this?"
Betty looked at Lake and smiled. "Of course I don't know. Mom wouldn't let me use a pistol. I bought it with my part-time job money. It cost me nearly three thousand dollars. I'm leaving it here. Do you think Dad will open it and look at it when he's free? Besides, as you said, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
Although Betty was born into a military family, Karen was not. General Ross had no objection to Betty's love of playing with guns. After all, it was good to be able to shoot and protect yourself. Unfortunately, when at home, Karen still kept her word. After confiscating the three guns given by Ross in succession, Betty secretly used the money she earned from working to buy this EAA compact female protective pistol specially made for women by Stark Industries.
And it comes in multiple color versions.
result...
Once it was launched, it became a dark horse on the list of American women's favorite guns in the second month. This also made Stark Industries, which has a tough image, realize that although they are an arms company, they can also do a lot for their female compatriots.
So from that time on, Stark Industries would launch a gun and weapon that women loved almost every year.
For example...multi-color custom pistols.
For example... a military-grade folding knife that allows you to protect yourself while cutting fruit.
In short, of Stark Industries' current high market value, at least a quarter is supported by the female market.
When Lake heard Betty's words, he opened his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and said with a somewhat unpleasant feeling: "I suddenly realized that maybe taking you to the shooting range was a wrong choice. Otherwise, why don't you go to Grandma Susan's house next door and take a bath first?"
This is a damn indoor shooting range. The shooting is so exciting that you can smell the smoke all over.
When Lake first saw Betty skillfully take out her gun from General Ross's car, he thought Betty had been released. Now it seems that this was a complete illusion.
I was about to go back and face Karen's nagging. What if she knew that I took Betty to shoot guns as soon as I came back?
Wow.
I'm afraid I won't have a chance to sleep tonight.
but...
There is no chance anymore.
Just as Lake was about to drive out of the house and head straight to Grandma Susan's house next door, Karen just came out of the house.
Lake slammed on the brakes.
Next second.
As Lake turned off the engine, he said to Betty in the passenger seat, "Take out your perfume and spray it on yourself. Spray more. Karen has a very sensitive nose."
When he was twelve years old and started smoking, he drank three glasses of water, chewed five sticks of gum before going home, and borrowed the perfume that a female classmate had secretly taken out and sprayed it on him.
result...
As soon as he got home, Karen found out about his plan. Until now, Lake still couldn't understand what he had done wrong back then.
This is probably a woman's intuition.
get off.
Lake waved to Karen, who was standing at the door, with a smile on his face. She seemed to think it was Ross who had returned.
Karen was stunned at first, then she called out in surprise, "Lake."
Then.
Karen went down the stairs and hugged Lake who was walking over. She complained a little, "I don't know whether I should be sad for you or happy for me. You only come back when you're heartbroken."
Lake: "…"
Betty, who had just gotten off the passenger seat, burst out laughing when she heard this: "Mom, that's what I just told him. So, we should pray for him. It's best if he breaks up once a month."
"Go away."
Karen rolled her eyes at Betty and said, "You really want your brother to die alone."
The two of them sang in unison, and Lake felt very embarrassed.
Just then.
A woman came out of the house.
Strange.
It's a killer.
Lake's eyes narrowed.
The moment the woman saw Lake, her eyes shrank instantly.
