Episode 353: They’re a Gang
“Eww!”
John Klein had a flash of insight.
“Are you okay?”
A Latino man wearing a doctor’s gown spoke to John Klein.
And there were a few Latino hotel staff around.
The doctor said, studying John Klein’s expression.
“I have a peanut allergy. Luckily, the hotel had an EpiPen (a peanut allergy emergency medication). I could have been in danger of having trouble breathing on the way to the hospital.”
“Are you allergic to peanuts?”
“Didn’t you know this? If possible, it would be a good idea to go to the hospital and get a thorough allergy diagnosis, wear an allergy alert bracelet, or carry an EpiPen with you.”
“I had a peanut allergy?”
“yes.”
after.
John Klein sighed in frustration.
‘I have a peanut allergy? How could I have lived this long without even knowing it?’
The look between the dispirited John Klein and the stern-faced doctor was brief.
“Okay, thanks anyway.”
“I was just doing my job. Thank you to the hotel staff who contacted us faster than that. If the staff had contacted us even a little later, we could have been in big trouble.”
“Oh, is that so?”
John Klein’s gaze turned to the employee he had seen earlier.
The Latino employee was waving his hands as if he was not smiling brightly.
however.
hmm.
An inexplicable sense of discomfort came over me.
‘What was that thing I saw just now?’
I feel like there’s some sinister intention hidden behind that kind act.
The look on his face as he gasped for breath, his head stopped and his vision became blurry.
A look in their eyes as if they were looking at an intended scene.
hmm.
Again a moan without a sound escaped from his mouth.
Perhaps that was why John Klein himself felt the need to hide his true feelings.
Let’s speak as kindly as possible.
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“Oh, oh, no. I just did what I normally do.”
The Latino employee vehemently denied the allegations and blamed the hotel for the incident, not himself.
John Klein didn’t say anything for a while.
Then the hotel manager stepped in.
“I will take you to the hospital.”
“hospital?”
“Yes, I think it would be a good idea to get a more detailed examination. Of course, our hotel will pay for it.”
John Klein shook his head slowly.
If I went to the hospital for something like this, it was obvious that it would be exposed to the media.
The disappointed face of Biden, who was already feeling uneasy due to the presidential election, came to mind.
“No. I’ll go home.”
“Home? That won’t do. Stay at the hospital-”
“no.”
John Klein cut off the manager’s words in the middle and looked around to see who was listening.
“Please keep today’s events a secret for the time being.”
“That’s obvious, but… … . It’s difficult to enter the hotel.”
“it’s okay.”
“still…….”
“it’s okay.”
The manager’s eyes darkened immensely.
John Klein stood up, expressing his sanity.
And he put his hand on the manager’s shoulder and encouraged him.
I will be anxious.
Because he is the chief of staff to the president and his hotel is located right next to the White House.
You might think that a single word from him could stop VIPs from visiting the White House, or if he were to react too harshly, he could end the hotel’s business.
How absurd it would have been.
The president’s closest aide, who had been fine for two years, suddenly came close to death from a peanut allergy.
The manager’s feelings right now must be death.
So, I need to leave this place as soon as possible.
For now, all I have to do is keep their mouths shut, but if I stay in the hotel any longer and get noticed by others, it’s obvious that they’ll go around adding weight to their current situation.
At this point, a very nervous Latino employee approached the manager.
“I will take you home.”
John Klein also thought this was the moment.
“Let’s do that. I think it would be better to rest at home.”
The manager nodded slowly.
“Rodriguez, take the manager home safely.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
John Klein thought everything was sorted out.
Until I got home, that is.
***
A twenty-minute drive from the hotel brought us to John Klein’s home in Ivy City.
The hotel staff parked their car in front of the house, quickly got out, and opened the door for John Klein.
John Klein gave a brief smile.
“thank you.”
“no.”
John Klein got out of his car and turned his gaze toward the house.
With the relief that we can now rest in peace.
however.
“uh?”
There’s a problem at home.
I could tell at a glance.
Because someone passed by the second floor window.
There’s someone in the house.
This is the house I prepared to live in alone after being hastily appointed as Chief Secretary.
There was no one else who needed to be in the house except himself.
In an instant, the hotel staff member grabbed Rodriguez by the sleeve and bent down next to the car.
Rodriguez, who was dragged without knowing English, blinked nervously as he bent down.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Wait, there’s someone home.”
“Are you home?”
I raised my head slightly and looked back into the house through the car window.
When I listened closely, I could hear a faint but clear noise.
Rodriguez also followed John Klein to see the house.
“Have there been any thieves?”
“I think so.”
John Klein said it in a chewed-up tone.
They say horses are thieves, but it may be more than that.
John Klain is the President’s Chief of Staff.
This means that there are more than one or two people aiming for it.
Even more so in a situation like now.
It could be that someone from the Republican Party is looking for secret documents.
He could be a spy sent by Russia or Hamas.
Or, since the house is often empty, he could be a thief with pure(?) motives.
Whatever it is, there is nothing good to face.
As time passes, it will achieve its intended purpose and disappear.
Until then, it would be right to hide for a while.
If you want to delay that time a little longer, it’s natural to call the police.
John Klein took out his phone, his heart pounding, and dialed 911.
I’m explaining the current situation.
Rodriguez whispered to John Klein.
“They came out.”
“huh?”
John Klein narrowed his eyes and looked where Rodriguez was pointing.
“How many are there in total?”
“There appear to be three people.”
The eyes of those who had their faces completely covered by masks were like those of poisonous snakes.
One of them, who appeared to be the leader, was wearing sunglasses and no mask, had a neatly trimmed moustache, and showed white teeth through slightly parted lips.
As if he had achieved his goal.
Rodriguez muttered under his breath.
“You look like a Latino American… … .”
“Are you saying you’re not from South America?”
“Yes, it seems so. There is a difference in appearance between immigrants and second-generation immigrants.”
“So those guys are 2nd generation?”
“yes.”
As he spoke, Rodriguez’s face hardened as if it were ice.
“They’re a gang.”
“… … .”
John Klein could clearly hear Rodriguez’s small whisper.
An incident that is currently happening suddenly came to mind.
A series of events unfolding around the illegal immigration problem in Texas.
John Klein’s grip tightened on its own.
‘That’s why they say you shouldn’t bring in black-haired beasts.’
Biden embraces immigration, Trump opposes it.
But isn’t that behavior like second-generation immigrants pointing a knife at the person who accepted them?
Stealing… … .
“It doesn’t seem like he’s just a thief.”
Rodriguez’s words rang deep in the ears of John Klein, who had decided that he was a thief.
“okay?”
“I didn’t take anything out of the house. I don’t know much about it, but at least your clothes aren’t expensive, right?”
“hmm.”
“Second-generation immigrants like us have been around gangs since we were young, so we know them well. These days, no one keeps cash or gold at home, so they target jewelry like jewelry and watches. Designer suits are especially easy to sell online.”
“Then you’re saying that stealing wasn’t your intention?”
‘Then why did you search my house?’
One thing that stands out is that the political world is in an uproar over the successive discovery of national secret documents leaked during Biden’s time as vice president.
The Justice Department has appointed a special counsel, and Republicans are pushing for an investigation in Congress.
‘Biden announced that he immediately turned over all documents to the archives, but wouldn’t I, who served as chief of staff since the time of Vice President Biden, be suspicious?’
If so, they are the ones who were instigated by the Republican Party.
after.
If so, that’s good.
It is true that confidential documents were leaked during Biden’s term as Vice President, but that was limited to Biden and had nothing to do with him.
But that’s fortunate, there has to be another purpose.
If not theft, then the purpose of breaking into the chief secretary’s house is that.
“I’ll go in first.”
John Klein, startled by Rodriguez’s words, stopped him.
“Wait until 911 comes.”
“I’ll be back in an hour.”
“What? I called you?”
“That’s why I won’t come anymore. The director has confirmed my safety. If there’s a dangerous situation, I’ll be there within 10 minutes.”
“… … .”
‘It’s dangerous and it takes 10 minutes? Are you saying the police show up after everyone is dead?’
Rodriguez may have said it lightly, but John Klein could not have taken it lightly.
A huge crack appeared in John Klein’s head.
John Klein shook his head as he recalled the retail looting that was happening across the United States.
People who are so brazen in robbing retail stores.
And the police who never show up.
Retailers vent their frustration.
‘When on earth did America become such a mess?’
This is the true face of America that Trump revealed during the Corona era.
Politically, the issue was being covered up and resolved calmly, but Trump lifted the cover and America’s corruption began to be exposed.
The people who had been thinking, ‘No way’, started to look into this and that, and problems began to arise here and there.
One of them was the problem of police officers responsible for American public safety.
The police currently have neither the will nor the manpower to confront violent criminals.
So, the only things that appeared in the media every day were traffic police accidents.
How many robberies or drug dealing cases have the police been involved in?
‘It’s all because of money.’
If we had enough money, we could greatly increase the number of police officers and arm them with the latest weapons, but is that a problem that can be solved with just a few pennies?
This time the government didn’t have enough money to sell the US warship to Bill Brown.
But you’re saying that you’re increasing the number of police officers and changing their weapons?
That’s nonsense.
The Democrats will probably rise up, but the Republicans will also have to step up and stop it.
If they had that kind of money, they would probably scream to introduce AI into the criminal detection system.
Ugh~
“There’s a reason why I left Vice President Biden’s chief of staff.”
If you look back, most politicians are just talkers with no substance.
At times like this, I wish I could just hire a gang to kill those guys.
By the way, Rodriguez was already out of sight, probably because he had gone inside the house.
After about five minutes, I had to start getting up.
At this time.
Bang, bang, bang.
Three gunshots were heard.
Right inside the house.
