Chapter 974 In Hawaii (I)
The sky and sea in Hawaii are very blue, the girls on the beach are all in good shape, there are all kinds of delicious food, and all the aunts and uncles are very "enthusiastic", so "enthusiastic" that Jack had to hide in the Hilton Hotel.
Someone was very glad that he had foresight. This Christmas holiday, he not only brought the little beauty Alexis, his two sisters, but also the entire wanted criminal team and their families.
Fortunately, there are such a large group of friends, which makes him less embarrassed in this "home".
After arriving in Hawaii, Jack learned a lot of things, such as Danny, who he always claimed to be his uncle, actually has no blood relationship with him.
Danny is his grandfather's godson and grew up with Jack's father since childhood, so Jack's last name is Tavola, and Danny's full name is Danny Williams.
After Jack's original parents eloped to Los Angeles, they basically cut off contact with both families. It was not a bloody plot like Romeo and Juliet, where children from feuding families fall in love. It was simply because the two families could not integrate in terms of values and skin color.
In short, the families of the original parents were not easy to get along with, which led to the two lovers having to hide in Los Angeles. They said they eloped, but in fact they just wanted to be alone.
In some things, Eastern and Western cultures have amazing similarities. Some things can be done for "logging tired", and some can be indifferent to each other until they die.
Now the original parents have passed away for many years, and the grandparents are also very old. They live in a nursing home and are as happy as a child every day. Even if Jack stands in front of them, they can't recognize that this is their only grandson.
As for those aunts and uncles, after confirming that Jack did not come to Hawaii to fight for the inheritance, they also restored the "enthusiasm" that relatives should have.
Although this kind of hypocrisy makes people feel a little embarrassed, it also makes Jack feel relieved. It is the best news for him that he does not need to bear the cause and effect of the original body.
"So are you sure everything is OK?" Danny accompanied Jack to the deck of the battleship Missouri. Not far away, there is a huge white building that looks like a coffin. It is the memorial of the battleship Arizona that sank in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Under the water under the white building is the wreckage of the battleship Arizona.
"Now that I think about it, maybe it was a wrong decision for me to urge you to come to Hawaii."
Danny's expression seemed a little apologetic. He was less than 170 cm tall, and he did not have the momentum of an elder when standing with Jack.
"This has nothing to do with you. When my parents had an accident, it was you, Uncle Danny, who rushed to my side first, and you introduced me to... uh... Miss Anderson.
Thanks to you, I was able to successfully enter the LAPD and later become an FBI. It can be said that without your help, I might still have to rely on that small grocery store to survive, or even be forced to become a street drug dealer."
Jack's words came from the heart. Life is sometimes so wonderful. Most of the time, your own efforts alone are not enough to change your fate. Sometimes you need opportunities, and sometimes you need someone to help you.
Of course, this does not deny the significance of your own efforts. No matter how good your family background is or how high your starting point is, you can't stop yourself from committing suicide. This is what it means to be a hopeless person.
"Just call me Danny. The title of uncle makes me want to find a cane." Danny looked up at his "nephew" who was a head taller than him, and shook his head subconsciously.
"I knew you were great, but I didn't expect you to be so great now, Supervisory Agent Taverer? Wow, your father would be ecstatic if he knew what you have achieved now. God knows how much he wanted to be a policeman when he was young.
After I retired, he accompanied me to the police academy training. What did he say at the time? 'God, Dan, you will definitely become the most handsome police officer in New Jersey'. I still can't forget the look in his eyes at that time."
Danny's eyes welled up with tears as he spoke, and he quickly wiped his eyes to cover it up, "Sorry, I still can't adapt to the sea breeze in Hawaii."
"It seems that you don't like the beach either?" Jack took the opportunity to change the subject. In addition to this body, he did not inherit any memory of the original body. He had only relied on the vague diaries of the original body to understand his past.
Although Danny's true feelings were not so embarrassing that he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment on the spot as he did when facing those aunts and uncles,
but as a half-baked psychologist who is still studying for a master's degree, Jack feels that he should try to reduce the appearance of the recollection scenes to avoid letting the other party realize that he cannot empathize.
Of course, since he watched two seasons of "Heaven's Law Enforcer" in his previous life, he still has some impression of this "Uncle Danny".
"In fact, I have been trying to adapt to the sudden rainstorm that may come at any time, to those unpalatable Spam cans, oh, I almost forgot, and my partner who never knew what the rules were."
After complaining, Danny smiled with relief, "But it's all worth it. Here, I can be with my little daughter and continue to work as a policeman.
This is Grace's home now, so it is only natural for me to maintain stability here."
Grace is Danny's daughter. After Danny divorced his wife a few years ago, his wife Rachel remarried a wealthy businessman and moved to Hawaii.
For the custody of Grace and to spend two days a week with his daughter, this "daughter slave" came all the way from New Jersey to Hawaii and became a Hawaii State Police.
Before Jack's original family got into trouble, he had just been recruited by a special service team formed by the governor of Hawaii to be responsible for all major criminal cases in the 50th state of the United States. The name of this special service team is "Five-O".
In Jack's impression, "Heavenly Enforcers" itself is a long-lived American TV series, and it is actually a remake of another longer-lived American TV series "Honolulu Mounted Police", which was filmed from 1968 to 1980.
Because of the wide attention of the latter among the old American people, even "Five-O" has become a slang for police. In this world, the American TV series "Honolulu Mounted Police" is still there, but the slang "Five-O" is gone.
Danny is actually quite busy with his work in the "Five-O" special task force. In addition to accompanying his daughter, it is not easy for him to take a whole day to travel with Jack.
I heard that it was because his partner Steve McGarrett temporarily left Hawaii for some business, and the team was currently under his full responsibility.
Fortunately, Jack did not come alone. After spending a day alone with Danny to bond, his purpose of this trip was basically achieved. The next step is to enjoy this Christmas holiday on the tropical island.
