American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 216 No one can leave standing tonight
It was not until noon that Roy was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

I closed my eyes and picked up the phone on the bedside table, only to find that it was not my phone ringing, but Claire's phone.

I patted the taillights of Claire's luxury car. The female doctor was sleeping so soundly that even the ringing of the cell phone couldn't wake her up.

"Claire, there's a phone call!"

After a few taps, Claire finally opened her eyes and picked up her phone to answer the call.

"Hey?"

"Yes, I'm Claire Sheffield, what can I do for you?"

"Um……"

"Sorry, I don't have time right now."

After hanging up the phone, Claire continued to lean on Roy's strong chest and closed her eyes.

Roy saw Claire's reaction when she answered the phone was a little strange, so he asked.

"Claire, is this a harassing call?"

Claire shook her head.

"No, it was a passenger from the plane crash who contacted me?"

Roy was a little curious.

"Why contact you?"

Claire looked up at Roy's face, and this perspective made the female doctor look particularly cute.

"It's not about the plane crash! Wait, are you jealous?"

Claire suddenly laughed, and the look wasn't so cute anymore.

"Huh? You're questioning my charm!"

As he said that, Roy pinched Claire's airbag.

"Ouch! Be gentle!"

Then, Claire felt again what it felt like to be pointed at a gun, and she immediately raised her hands to surrender.

"Roy, I was wrong! It hurts down there, can you let me go?"

"Hmph! That's pretty much it!"

Roy naturally knew that Claire was seriously injured and had no intention of fighting a second battle. He just stood up and saluted purely out of courtesy.

There's nothing I can do. Who told Claire to move around while leaning on Roy's chest?

"Actually, the passengers on the plane crashed wanted to unite and sue the airline. You saw it on the day of the crash, right? The cause of the crash was engine failure, and some passengers suspected that the airline hadn't properly inspected the plane. The person who called me was the advocate who questioned it, and he happened to be a lawyer."

So that's how it is, Roy understood.

The details of the plane crash that day are indeed rather vague, and to this day the airline has not given an accurate answer.

It's no wonder some passengers are suing airlines against each other.

"Then why don't you want to be a part of it?"

Claire buried her head in Roy's arms and took a deep breath.

"Before, I didn't want to care about this matter because I was in a bad mood. Now I don't want to participate because I am in a very good mood."

Roy smiled smugly.

How can you not feel happy when a beautiful woman is head over heels for you?
But soon, Claire's phone rang again. She picked up the phone and took a look. It was still the same person calling.

Claire felt a little disgusted that the other party was interrupting her and Roy's good time, and didn't want to answer the call.

Roy didn't care.

"Go ahead, maybe it's something important?"

So Claire answered the phone.

After some conversation, Claire learned that the other party was calling to ask if she knew where the other passenger was.

The passenger agreed to participate in the class action lawsuit, but now he cannot be contacted.

The person on the phone suspected that the airline was trying to silence the witness and told Claire to be careful and that it would be safer to stay with them.

This made Roy laugh. Who in the airline company would dare to give the order to hire a killer to kill and silence someone? Did he want to go to jail and get his hands on some soap?

This kind of company is usually a joint-stock company, and the shares are very loosely distributed. Who would bother to help others save money?
When conspiracy theories reach this level, they are simply conspiracies for the sake of conspiracy theories.

"This guy has a really vivid imagination! Why does he want to be a lawyer instead of going to Hollywood?"

"Who knows?"

Claire continued to lean on Roy's chest. This feeling made her feel very safe, and Roy's smell also fascinated her.

But soon, Claire heard Roy's stomach growling loudly.

Gulu!

"Uh, it's already noon, shall we go out for lunch?"

Roy's expression was a little embarrassed. He had a poor tolerance to hunger, which might be due to his strong physical fitness.

But Claire didn't care because she was also very hungry.

"Okay!"

Just as Claire was about to get up, she felt a sharp pain.

After all, he was just a new recruit on the battlefield, and it was his first time to encounter such a powerful opponent like Roy, and he was fighting alone.

This caused Claire to be more traumatized than she had imagined, and it was unlikely that she would be able to get out of bed today unless Roy held her the whole time.

It’s better not to get out of bed!
"Roy, what should we do?"

Roy shrugged.

"Who told you to be so competitive? You even tried to kill me last night."

During the second half of the battle, the wildness in Claire's heart was released, and she actually wanted to be a female rider.

It was probably the dressage equestrian moves that caused Claire to suffer serious injuries. Roy felt that he was quite gentle last night.

But this is not surprising. After all, Claire is a girl who likes fighting competitions, and there must be a beast living in her heart. It just depends on who can awaken this beast and who can tame this beast.

Claire's face turned red instantly, she covered her face and screamed.

"Ah—stop it! I was really crazy last night!"

Whenever Claire thought of what she had done last night, she had the urge to hide under the quilt and twist around, but unfortunately her body was unable to do such violent movements.

"Alright, alright! I won't say any more! I'll go get you something to eat and then fill up my stomach."

Roy didn't want to let Claire go hungry, so he went to a fast food restaurant near the hotel to bring back some food, and then went to satisfy his own hunger.

After all, it would take Roy a long time to eat, so it would be better to let Claire eat first.

When Roy got off the elevator again, he suddenly received a call from Nidi.

"Roy, have you had lunch?"

"Just about to go to lunch. Needy, what's up?"

"No, nothing! I just missed you a little bit!"

Roy found it a little strange because Needy rarely contacted him with her cell phone, and they usually chatted remotely through MSN.

Unless it's urgent, Nidi prefers to use online tools. This girl is outspoken online, but offline, she's like a quail, a first-generation internet giant.

Listening carefully, there seemed to be some suppressed laughter on the other end of the phone. It sounded familiar, as if Heather and Penny were giggling.

Wait, what day is today?
Then Roy realized instantly that today was April 4th, Penny's birthday!

Could it be that Needy and the others were planning to launch a surprise attack on him?
It seems possible!
Jennifer knew that she was in New York and was going to participate in the Olympic World Qualifying Tournament. If Jennifer knew, then Needy also knew. They could easily call Lambert to ask which hotel he was staying in.

So, Roy immediately began to observe his surroundings secretly, and sure enough, he saw a few sneaky figures behind the green plants of the hotel in the distance.

"Needy, you don't want to give me a surprise, do you?"

Needy was silent on the other end of the phone, and then Roy heard Jennifer's voice.

"Needy, Roy must have noticed us! Heather, Penny, didn't I tell you to stop laughing?"

It turns out that Jennifer was also involved, and it is not known whether she planned this matter.

Probably not. Among the four, Penny is the one who does the most cool things. She must be the one who comes up with an idea first, and then Needy helps to improve it.

Needy has a lot of clever ideas, but she rarely brings them forward. Usually, others bring them up first, and she adds to them.

Then Jennifer and Heather were in charge of execution. Both girls had strong execution abilities.

Heather's voice came on the phone again.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. Needy was so funny when she was on the phone."

"I should have let Penny make the call!"

"Isn't that too obvious?"

Four girls came out from behind the green plants, hugged Roy together, and gave him a kiss each.

This scene made all the men in the hotel look at him with envy.

"Why are you in New York?"

Roy asked the question even though he knew the answer, and Penny gave the answer.

"Jennifer said you might not have time to go back to Falls Town recently, so we came here. After all, the birthday party will be complete with you!"

Roy was very moved when he heard this, but the perceptive Jennifer seemed to smell something and her expression became strange.

"I haven't had lunch yet. Let's talk about Penny's birthday party after lunch!"

It was still McDonald's. Although McDonald's fast food was not very nutritious, Roy was hungry and could not wait for those delicate foods. At least McDonald's served the food quickly.

While Roy was having lunch, several girls began to discuss how to celebrate today's birthday party.

Since the birthday party was already on the agenda, we naturally had to follow the birthday girl Penny's wishes, so Penny suggested finding a KTV and renting a private room to drink and sing.

Well, Penny, who came from a nightclub, is also an old drunkard. Among the women around Roy, she can drink the most.

Of course, it is to get rid of those non-human creatures, such as Elizabeth, Jennifer and the like.

After completing the blood fusion ceremony, Jennifer was considered half a demon, and her physical fitness soared.

The others had no objections, so they began to prepare.

Roy also needs to prepare, especially to explain the situation to Claire.

The excuses were ready, and Roy called Claire to say that he wanted to discuss tactics with the coach.

As for which coach he was with, Roy didn't say, after all, Coach Penny is also a coach.

As a doctor of psychology, Claire heard something from Roy's voice on the phone, but she did not choose to expose Roy.

In fact, Claire also knew a little about Roy's fickleness from Emma. Moreover, Roy was so capable and was an athlete, so it was normal for him to have strong demands in this regard.

So Claire just told Roy that she hoped he could come back in the evening and bring her some food.

Roy naturally agreed.

New York, as the largest city in America, naturally has a very rich nightlife, and you can find all kinds of nightclubs.

Penny found a pretty good KTV, booked a private room, and ordered a lot of drinks.

"No one is going to get out alive tonight!"

Penny was very excited. It had been a long time since she ran away from home and no one had celebrated her birthday with her.

When drinking in KTV, you must play some small games. The four girls united and prepared to get Roy drunk first.

All kinds of cheating and fraud were done just to make Roy drink.

Roy accepted everyone who came to him. Could a few girls really get him drunk?
After drinking for a while, everyone felt a little tipsy.

Especially Needy, who has the worst alcohol tolerance. The only time this girl drank alcohol before was on her birthday, when she drank some alcoholic soft drinks.

I drank beer directly at KTV today and soon got drunk and fell on the sofa.

After getting drunk, Penny started to sing like a microphone master. Everyone knew her singing level. She sang a lullaby to Roy that could give him nightmares.

But it was Penny's birthday after all, so it was difficult for everyone to stop her and they could only endure it.

Only Needy was a bit pitiful. Looking at her frowned brows in her sleep, she was obviously having a nightmare.

After singing for a while, Penny finally had enough.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you can continue singing when I come back!"

Penny walked out of the box and staggered to the bathroom.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of another box and was also going to the bathroom.

The middle-aged man was obviously a little drunk, and he and Penny entered the bathroom almost at the same time.

Afterwards, the two of them came out of the bathroom at about the same time.

The middle-aged man washed his face and felt a little more awake, then he saw in the mirror the blonde woman in red clothes who looked very familiar.

"Penelope, it's you!"

Penny was a little confused when her full name was called out, because she didn't remember knowing anyone living in New York. She looked at the middle-aged man next to her and she sobered up instantly.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was the owner of the bar where Penny used to work.

When Roy first met Penny, the girl was dancing striptease in a bar and stealing credit cards to cash out, which led to a disagreement with the bar owner over the share of the profits.

When the bar owner wanted to force himself on Penny, Roy came to her rescue and Penny fell completely in love with Roy from then on.

At that time, Penny kicked the bar owner in the groin, causing him to have physiological dysfunction and he had to go to a big city like New York for treatment.

Today the bar owner's treatment happened to be effective, so we came to KTV to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, I was in the same KTV with Penny.

"I didn't expect to see you here, it's great!"

Looking at the bar owner with a hideous grin on his face, Penny turned around and ran. As long as she ran back to the box, she would be safe.

However, because she drank too much, Penny had some problems with her balance and fell to the ground after running a few steps.

"Help! Help!"

The deafening noise in the KTV drowned out Penny's cries for help. People passing by in the corridor didn't want to cause trouble, so they just watched Penny being dragged back to her box by the bar owner.

In the box, Heather was almost drunk, but Jennifer was only slightly tipsy.

"Roy, did Penny take too long in the bathroom?"
