Baker stood up from the recliner and rubbed his forehead, his consciousness and memory returning quickly.
Remembered.
Today is the weekend, and while having dinner at Richard's house the day before yesterday, Baker went to a nature reserve in New Jersey for the weekend at Alexis' invitation.
Think about it.
Baker touched Alexis' little head and smiled: "Give me ten minutes."
ten minutes later.
Baker opened the passenger door of Richard's vehicle and got in.
As soon as he sat firmly, Richard felt impatient. He stepped on the accelerator and quickly turned the vehicle towards the George Washington Bridge.
in the car.
Wearing sunglasses and drinking the coffee specially prepared for him by Richard, he said: "The coffee is good, are they my coffee beans?"
Last month, the coffee bean factory in Kenya shipped goods. Most of them were given to the New York Police Department to help them improve the taste of coffee. Baker distributed a small amount to other residents of the 820 Building.
Richard nodded.
Baker glanced at Richard, who seemed to have something wrong with his expression, and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Something happened?"
Richard's expression was serious: "George was attacked."
Beck blinked.
It took a long time.
Only then did Baker realize that this George was not Officer George Stacey of the New York Police Department, but Richard had claimed a large orangutan named George who had a rare albinism in a New Jersey nature reserve.
"what happened?"
"not sure."
Richard shook his head and said: "I just received a call from George's breeder. Judging from the injuries, he should have been attacked by wild wolves living on the other side of the reserve."
"Have you found the attacking wolf?"
"Some security personnel from the protected area have already passed by, but there should be a hole in the protective net over there."
"Is George okay?"
"Now that we are under stress, medical staff dare not go up to check."
Baker nodded. Speaking of which, he seemed to have been there at Richard's invitation the year he first moved to Building 820, and he seemed to have claimed an eagle as well.
only……
After Baker signed the claim agreement, he basically didn't care about it. Every month, the bank would automatically transfer the breeding fees, management fees, and other miscellaneous money.
So it's normal for Richard to be a little anxious.
Because in theory, whether it is George, the white-haired gorilla claimed by Richard, or Kodo, the bald eagle claimed by Baker, legally, the animal belongs to them, and the New Jersey nature reserve management is just Just help take care of and tame them.
Um.
Only the Eastern Conference plays the trick of claiming that you are only responsible for paying and do not enjoy any rights, and even want to see them need to pay extra.
Funny laugh!
Three hours later.
The drive was originally supposed to be four hours, but was unexpectedly shortened to three hours by Richard. As soon as the car parked in the office parking lot of the nature reserve, the park manager who had been waiting at the door for a long time quickly greeted him. Come up.
After all, after spending money, he is naturally the park’s sponsor. The New York Police Department treats the sponsors preferentially, let alone this park.
soon.
The park manager introduced: "Davis left for George early this morning. I have informed Davis to wait for you there."
Davis, whose full name is Davis Okoye, is a primatologist. He is thick, bald, and muscular. He is a former member of the Navy SEALs and was honorably discharged. The white-haired gorilla was raised by Davis since he was a child. , and was later captured by Richard.
Well……
To put it in the most popular modern terms, Davis is the biological father of white-haired gorilla George, while Richard is a sugar daddy who gives money.
Although Gorilla George is a boy.
but……
Are animals divided into men and women in the eyes of humans?
The park manager immediately turned to Baker and said, "Mr. Morton, do you need me to arrange for someone to take you to see Kodo?"
Kodo and Baker himself almost forgot to claim the bald eagle.
Baker thought for a while: "Are you still alive?"
The corner of the park manager's mouth twitched slightly, but he still maintained basic courtesy: "Of course, after all, Mr. Morton... every month..."
Baker interrupted directly and touched his chin: "It's good to be alive. In fact, I plan to claim a giant panda."
The park manager seemed to be sweating coldly: "Mr. Morton, even we don't own the two giant pandas, so we can't claim them."
Fortunately, the money for raising the two giant pandas in the park is funded by the federal government. This would have been the case if the park itself had to pay for it.
hehe.
A month's admission fee is probably not enough to cover the food expenses of the two giant pandas for two days. The bamboo must be imported from Dongguo, the country where they were born, and the taste of the bamboo must be guaranteed within 48 hours.
Who can afford this?
The administrator of the park didn't want to ask Baker to see how the sweet bald eagle Kodo was doing. Originally, the administrator planned to take this opportunity to see if he could let the funder, Mr. Baker Morton, give some money to the park. Make another donation.
Half an hour later.
The ATV stopped outside a natural jungle.
Davis Okoye, who was also big and wise, came up to him and shook Richard's hand: "Welcome, Mr. Castle."
Richard said: "Just call me Richard, Davis, how is George doing now?"
Davis, who looked exactly like a certain Johnson, turned around and introduced the two people next to him and a female doctor carrying a medical kit, and then said: "I am about to take them over to examine George."
Richard said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go together."
Unlike Baker who paid money and then ignored him, after Richard claimed the gorilla George, he would come to visit basically every three months to see how his adopted sweetheart was doing.
A few people walked in front.
Beck, who was carrying Hatchet, was walking behind with Alexis, who was now twelve years old.
Alexis was looking forward to it.
Baker asked: "The last time Richard came over, didn't you come with him?"
Alexis shook his head: "No, my mother took me to Paris to see a fashion show."
After Richard took care of George, Alexis also came here several times. Moreover, with Davis's selfless help, it can be said that Alexis was the second person to interact with the big brother besides Davis. George the orangutan is a very good friend.
that is……
Gorilla George likes to scare people very much, and he always scares people. At the beginning, Alexis was scared to tears, but after getting along with Gorilla George for a long time, Alexis never cried again.
soon.
The jungle life park led by Gorilla George has arrived.
As soon as I walked in, I could hear the uncomfortable-sounding orangutan screams coming from the rockery directly in front of me.
