Chapter 31 : Suicide
"Attention, all residents on the list who can be quarantined are asked to hold their ID cards and wait at the designated location. A truck will take you to the quarantine area later."
On the noisy streets, residents holding large and small bags were walking on the road with their heads held high and smiles on their faces, as if they were lucky ones, heading towards the military-designated midpoint.
On both sides of the street, countless people were crowded. They looked at these people walking through the center of the street, their eyes full of envy and jealousy. Of course, there were also blessings for people waving goodbye to their former companions.
"Goodbye!" Brian and Sarah stood on the edge, looking at Osbourne and Kelly in the crowd, waving to each other and shouting goodbye.
It wasn't until the two of them entered the area guarded by soldiers and no one could be seen at all that they turned around and walked back.
"Grandpa Arman and the others should have entered the quarantine area now."
Sarah held Brian's arm, her eyes flashing with tears as if she were sad to say goodbye to so many people in one day.
"Well, they must have entered at this time." Brian was not surprised at all that the Arman family was able to enter the isolation area. medical staff can be said to be the most precious, and no one will be stupid enough to give up, let alone government agencies.
He looked beyond the crowd in front of him, looked at the blue sky in the distance, and murmured to himself, "Now there are only two of us left."
....
The two of them returned to the RV, sat on the chairs, and felt a little uncomfortable looking at the space.
To no longer allow themselves to think blindly, the two decided to keep themselves busy and prepare for the things they would need before leaving.
In addition to what they had to carry, Brian also prepared a larger travel bag, disassembled the shotgun, and packed it inside. Fortunately, the shotgun had a short barrel. If it had been a long barrel, they would only have to carry it.
Although it was a burden to carry, it was better than nothing. As for the assault rifle without bullets, they simply abandoned it.
But what troubled him was that if he put it inside like this, if the soldiers wanted to check the bag, they would be found easily. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way, so he put it away first. If he can't, he won't take it with him.
"Oh! There is still some beer here, but no one is drinking it anyway, so let's take advantage of that old man, Antoine."
After packing up, Brian opened the refrigerator and wanted to take out the things inside, but found that there were still four or five bottles of beer sitting inside. He sighed softly, took them all out, held them in his arms, and Walked next door to the RV.
"Hey, Antoine, open the door quickly and see what goodies I bring you!"
Arriving at the other party's RV with a few bottles of beer in his arms, Brian called out to Antoine, but he felt strange that no matter how hard he knocked on the door of the RV, no one answered. This made him feel a little surprised, because in the past As long as he calls, Antoine would more or less respond, no matter how drunk he was.
"Has something happened to this old man?"
He looked inside through the car window, but it was pitch dark, and he couldn't see anything. Recalling that Antoine was acting strangely last night, he felt vaguely uneasy.
Quickly putting down his beer, Brian reached out and tried to open the car door. He found that the door was unlocked, so he opened it immediately.
But the moment he opened the car door, a large amount of gas suddenly poured out of the car, making him feel dizzy, nauseated, and retching.
This feeling made Brian know that there must be something wrong with this smell. He quickly covered his mouth and nose, backed up his body, and ran to a faraway place before letting go and taking a big breath of fresh air.
"What's wrong?"
While packing things in the car, Sarah heard the noise outside and poked her head out to see what was going on outside. However, she saw Brian holding the RV's door with one hand and pulling on his collar with his other hand desperately Gasping for air.
This made her panic for a moment, and she quickly ran out of the RV to support his body and asked with concern.
"No...I'm fine..." After taking a few deep breaths to recover from the abnormality just now, Brian once again looked at Antoine's RV.
He didn't understand why such an unpleasant gas suddenly came out of the car. If Antoine was still inside...
Thinking of this, Brian returned to the car, took a clean cloth, wet it with water, and told Sarah not to go there. Then he covered his mouth and nose with the wet cloth and rushed into the RV again.
The uncomfortable feeling came over him again, but fortunately this time he had a wet cloth covering his mouth and nose, so he could resist it.
He randomly glanced around the dark car. It was a mess. There were empty beer bottles on the floor, but there he soon saw a figure lying on the bed inside.
This made Brian's heart sink. He quickly opened all the windows in the car to keep the air flowing, and then quickly walked towards the bed.
At this time, Antoine closed his eyes tightly; his face was as pale as paper; his legs were tightly closed; and his hands were placed in front of his abdomen. He was lying stiffly on the bed, with his chest not rising at all, showing that he had been dead for a long time.
But there was no sign of pain in his expression. He held a photo in his hand tightly but showed a faint smile as if he had dreamed of something beautiful, and he looked so peaceful.
Reaching out to feel Antoine's breath, Brian sighed inwardly and picked up the photo in the old man's hand. It was a withered yellow photo of a young man and woman.
Brian could vaguely see that the man was Antoine when he was young. Next to him was a beautiful woman nestling on his shoulder. The two of them smiled so happily at the camera. There was a sentence written behind the photo, but it seems like it was written just recently. I'm coming to find you, and we will meet again soon...right?
...
"Name: Antoine."
"Age: 67."
"Cause of death: suicide."
"Cause of death: carbon monoxide poisoning."
"..."
Outside the RV, a male and a female police officer in uniform were taking notes on Antoine's body on the ground.
After finishing writing the record, the two took out a body bag from the trunk of the police car, worked together to stuff the body into it, then picked up the body and walked towards the back of the police car, preparing to drive directly to the police car later. Dispose of it somewhere.
Suicides like this happen every day in Dallas, so there is no stranger to it. So they completed it all very efficiently, and it was inevitable that the things on the RV would be pocketed by them.
Brian and Sarah stood aside and watched all this quietly, with no expression on their faces, but it could be seen from their hands holding each other tightly that they were not looking as they seemed on the surface at the moment.
"Child, are you Brian? Here is a letter addressed to you."
After loading the body into the car and closing the trunk, the female police officer walked up to Brian and handed him a letter. Then she walked faster, got into the police car without looking back, and drove away.
Seeing the strange behavior of the female police officer, Brian raised his eyebrows, opened the letter, and read the contents:
....
To Brian:
You should be the first one to open this letter, right? I regret not being able to say goodbye to you, but to be honest, I liked you as a kid, and I am very grateful to you for bringing me joy during this time.
I am already old. I should have died a few months ago. Living in this world every day is a profit, but I am a little tired now. Yesterday, I thought of my wife again. She is over there. She must be very lonely. Maybe I should go over and stay with her.
Don't feel bad for me, because this is a relief for me. Now everything in this RV is yours. You can take whatever you want if you want to use it.
...
"I wish you happiness in heaven!"
Brian put the letter in his hand and prayed for Antoine in his heart. Then he raised his head and looked at the police car in the distance. He also understood why the policeman was so weird. He was afraid that he would take her things away.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it. Antoine was drinking and drinking, and he didn't have much. Moreover, he had just seen some food, guns, ammunition, etc. so he didn't care much.
But thinking about it, there are already many people in Dallas who don't have enough to eat, and they are relying on supplies to survive. Who would have thought that these two children would still have food?
"Brian, look, there seems to be something at the end."
Just when Brian was about to put the envelope away, Sarah's sharp eyes noticed that there was another word written on the back and reminded her.
"Yeah?"
After hearing Sarah's reminder, Brian opened the envelope again and turned it over, but there was still a sentence written at the bottom.
"I left a surprise for you under the bed; don't let anyone else take it away!"
Brian was a little surprised when he looked at this word. He didn't expect Antoine to expect that the police would open the letter first. He also knew that the police would first search for the supplies before handing the letter to him, thus ignoring the back.
Walking into Antoine's RV, he lifted the mattress and found that there was a hidden safe underneath. You needed to enter a password.
Looking at the four numbers required to enter, Brian remembered that there was a date on the photo: 07/12.
He checked the date and entered the password. The password was correct. He successfully opened the safe.
But when he saw what was inside, he suddenly froze there and fell silent, because there were two bottles of injection and an injection needle inside, and the name of the injection was morphine.
