Leon asked Simmons to help him. It’s not difficult. It’s not easy to say. It is to protect his safety as much as possible during Leon’s two months of imprisonment, so as not to be attacked by Irish people. On the way, Leon learned from Carlisle that MCI also has people from the Irish gang serving their sentences. People from outside are likely to send news to the prison to let them teach Leon.
Leon is not afraid to have a head-on confrontation with the other party. Anyway, there is absolutely no gun in the prison, and these light sentence prisoners are unlikely to kill him unless Frank insists on taking Leon’s life and arranging the dead man to kill Leon.
But this is too costly and the risk of murder in prison is extremely high. Frank’s boss, James Barger, had already absconded in 1994. Now Frank himself is the focus of FBI’s care. Even if he hates Leon very much, he wouldn’t want to be so. Deadly.
Leon’s reason for seeking protection from black gangs is very simple. He is not afraid of being troubled by others, but he is afraid of being troubled by prison, which will increase his sentence. Avoiding trouble in prison is only a stopgap measure. He wants to reduce his sentence. Get out of prison early and start a new life.
As a protected bargaining chip, Leon's superb gambling skills.
Most of the prisoners in MCI are gangsters who like petty theft. These guys are not as violent as prisoners in severe punishment prisons, but they have gambling, smoking and other hobbies. Various gangs resolve disputes in it, and they also like to use poker. Solved by card gambling, not by force.
On the third day after Leon was imprisoned, the three Puerto Ricans and two blacks of MCI clashed over cleaning the warehouse. The three Puerto Ricans were covered by the Puerto Rican gang in the prison, so the two groups met in the afternoon. During the open period, the problem was solved at 21 o'clock on the stone platform, and those who lost had to apologize and send three packs of cigarettes.
Simmons let Leon go ahead, but Leon won five games in a row, which made the Puerto Ricans lose face.
In the days that followed, whenever there was a need to use gambling to solve problems, Leon was always invincible, and his winning magic weapon was only two. One was his outstanding memory. As long as the cards were shuffled in front of him, he could roughly remember each card. The position of the cards; the second is the invincible observation ability. Gambling is often psychological. Even if you can't see the opponent's card, as long as you see the opponent's expression, Leon can guess the size of the opponent's card. .
Before April 1, Leon inherited that his father was also an out-and-out gambler, and an abusive gambler with poor gambling skills and luck. If he had the same gambling skills as Fan Chen's possession, he didn't have to embark on the road of fake boxing. He would have nothing to worry about when he went to Las Vegas every year.
Now, Leon is relying on this skill to seek a little protection in prison. Some savvy guys have begun to think about how to take this cash cow to the major casinos to make money after being released. Some other gangs, especially the Puerto Rican gang, have also begun. Try to win him over because Leon also has Puerto Rican ancestry.
But Leon is not stupid, he always keeps his distance from the gangs, and at the same time be careful of the Irish gang guys.
Once it was his turn to clean the warehouse. Two Irish gang members took the opportunity to beat him severely. As a result, Leon punched the lawn mower engine cover in the warehouse with a fist. The two people knew each other very well. Avoided.
Once again, on the playground, a few people from the Irish Gang suddenly picked up small stones on the ground and smashed them towards Leon. As a result, none of the stones could touch Leon’s body...
Their last harassment occurred in the third week after Leon was in prison. A 6-foot-4 Irish man who had just entered the prison named Leon by name and singled it out in the warehouse. In prison, if he was singled out by name and surname. , No one can hide.
Leon didn't beat the big man hard, but didn't let the opponent touch one of his own hairs for fifteen minutes, and at the same time he kept his hand in his pocket without taking it out.
"If you punch me again, I'll smash your head." This is a sentence left by Leon facing his panting opponent. From then on, no one will come to trouble him anymore, and the Irish Gang seems to be too. Stopped the revenge against Leon.
So, the time passed quickly.
………………
Two months will soon pass, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In a blink of an eye, it has reached the end of June, and Leon's sentence is about to expire.
In two months, in a delicate balance, Leon found himself a place to survive. The Irish gang wanted to trouble him, the black gangs used him to win him, and other gangs wanted to teach him and win him. All parties fought back and forth around this magical guy, and in the end they found that they all seemed to be used by this kid.
At the same time, in daily prison life, Leon has a regular schedule and restrained his duties. Apart from occasionally participating in gambling or destroying some public goods, he performed well overall and received a one-week commutation of his sentence.
So he, who was supposed to be released from prison on July 5, will leave here early on June 29 and return to his normal life.
Of course, Fox-Leon doesn’t know what his normal life should be like.
The house he rented in the southern district of Boston is definitely not allowed to go. It has long been targeted by the Irish gang; the days of playing fake punches in the bar boxing ring to make a living are gone. It is a good idea to live by gambling. With Leon’s eyesight and memory, there is no problem in sweeping the major casinos.
It’s just that this is too eye-catching, and it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. If you have a relationship with the Irish Gang, it will be even more troublesome.
Or you can find an ordinary job. In the United States, you can find a job to support your family in supermarkets, McDonald's, and building properties.
In his previous life, Leon was a high-achieving student with a double master's degree in finance and mathematics. He had a decent and high-paying job in Beijing. Now he has graduated from a community college in the United States and has no professional skills except boxing. A gangster, and just released from prison.
Even if he has extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary eyesight, memory and observation, the road ahead of him is still uneven.
………………
At 12 o'clock on the 26th, after eating the last lunch, Leon packed up his clothes and prepared to leave the MCI correction center. After more than two months, this place became his safe haven. His consciousness finally became one with his body.
He is no longer Fan Chen, nor is he the Fox-Leon of the past. He is a brand new person. The prison did not reform him, but he reformed himself.
When it finally came time to leave, the guards were as indifferent as he came. They saw too many prisoners coming and going, and they had long become cold iron men, but when Leon was leaving, the guard at the door still responded. Smile and say goodbye.
On the stone platform of the playground, a group of Simmons waved at him. Although they didn't bring this guy over, the black gang was calling the wind and rain in MCI for more than two months. Simmons even hoped that Leon would make some mistakes. Stay longer in prison. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
But Simmons also knows that Fox-Leon, the once unknown fellow, will never be in the pool. From his patience and restraint at MCI, it can be seen that this is a career that will be made. Amazing guy.
In this way, Leon was standing at the gate of MCI with a luggage bag. The gate of the prison had been closed tightly. Only then did Leon remember that this place is not in front of the village and behind the shop, chickens do not lay eggs and birds do not shit. The ghost place, the nearest town is also 16 kilometers away.
There is a small bus stop at the gate, and there will be a bus every half an hour to the nearest town, Volpol.
………………
Twenty minutes later, Leon had arrived at Walpole by bus. At this time, he still had the $200 left in his pocket when he first went to prison. The car cost him one dollar, and then he spent another five dollars. I bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked under the stop sign.
At this time, a Dodge pickup stopped near him, and the driver poked his head out of the window and asked Leon, "Man, do you want a ride?"
The driver is obviously very eye-sighted. A stranger appears in such a small town. In all likelihood, it is a prisoner released by MCI. Walpole is just a transit point. Most people have to leave here and go to other places. .
Leon looked at the driver. He was a middle-aged white man in his forties. He was a little fat, his face was red and healthy, and he looked a little honest, but there was a cunning expression in his eyes. It would not be the one who dared to do business with prisoners frequently. Honest guy.
Leon did not think much, got on his Dodge pickup, and said to the driver: "Go to Marshfield."
