American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 70 Penny's Choice
Finally, thanks to the efforts of the sheriff and Molly, the motel was saved from burning down.

The sheriff then conducted a brief search of the motel and discovered a large number of human remains, many of which showed signs of cutting and cooking.

This confirmed what Molly had said before, that this motel was indeed a shady place, and the owner Kevin and the three employees were all ogres.

A rough count showed that the sheriff alone had discovered more than a dozen bodies. If, as Kevin himself described, his family had been running a black market here for centuries, the number of victims would be even more terrifying.

This is definitely a major case, and it might even be made into a movie in the future.

So the sheriff immediately called for backup and prepared to gather people to thoroughly search the entire motel.

It was already dawn. Roy and Penny did not continue with the unfinished biological experiment, but got dressed and prepared to leave.

This case looks very complicated at first glance, with written testimony and even interviews, which may take several days.

Roy didn't want to waste time here, otherwise he might miss the upcoming Cowboy Cup semi-finals.

So, he discussed it with the sheriff and gave all the credit to him, and concealed him and Penny from the incident.

This was perfect for the sheriff. The only person left who knew about the incident was his daughter. As long as Roy didn't tell anyone, the huge credit would be his alone.

The sheriff agreed immediately and even took the initiative to help destroy all the surveillance videos of Roy at the scene to solidify the evidence.

In this way, Roy can return to Waterfall Town safely with Penny.

"Dad, why are there so many videotapes kept here?"

Molly found that there were many videotapes in the monitoring room, which were marked with time and arranged very neatly.

"Who knows? Maybe those ogres have some special quirks! They all eat people, so it's not surprising that they do anything."

The sheriff didn't think too much about it. He was still immersed in the joy of having achieved so much. Promotion, salary increase and bonus were beckoning him.

At this time, the sound of many cars came from outside.

"Hey, are we here so soon? I'm going to go out and take a look!"

The sheriff walked out of the monitoring room humming a little tune, and Molly did not follow him out. This action saved her life.

A minute later, several gunshots were suddenly heard outside, which startled Molly. She immediately realized that something was wrong.

Molly quietly walked out of the monitoring room and looked outside through the door lock. She saw several strangers in police uniforms dragging a corpse.

The corpse is Molly's father!
Molly immediately covered her mouth to block the scream in her throat.

Fortunately, after experiencing a series of events yesterday, Molly's psychological endurance has become much stronger, but witnessing her father's death still made her tears burst out.

These people are definitely not police officers!

The support the sheriff called for must have been from the same town as his police officers, and Molly knew those police officers.

However, although the uniforms of the policemen Molly saw now were indeed the town's uniforms, she did not recognize any of them.

After dealing with the sheriff's body, the unfamiliar policemen walked straight to the monitoring room. They seemed to be very familiar with the environment of the motel.

Molly held back her tears and quickly looked for a hiding place. She successfully found a secret compartment under the carpet, which contained a lot of banknotes. It seemed that this was where Kevin hid his money.

The secret compartment was not very spacious, but luckily Molly was petite and frail, so she could just curl up and hide inside.

Molly in the secret compartment heard the fake policemen rummaging around in the monitoring room for a while and then seemed to leave.

However, Molly didn't dare to leave the secret compartment, for fear of being discovered by the fake police, so she hid inside until she smelled smoke.

Could it be that those fake policemen set the fire?
Molly thought of a possibility.

Isn't that how all police dramas are shot? A criminal organization impersonates police officers, kills people, burns things, and then destroys the bodies.

Now Molly could no longer hide in the secret compartment. She carefully pushed open the floorboards and saw that the wall was burning.

There was only one exit in the monitoring room, so Molly could only cover herself with a carpet and force her way out.

Fortunately, the fake policemen had already driven away and did not stay at the motel, probably because they were afraid of being discovered.

Unfortunately, Molly's car and her father's car were towed away by the fake police using the motel's tow truck, and there were no other vehicles in the motel.

Oh, it's not completely gone, there's also an old bicycle, which is probably as old as Molly's recently deceased father.

Looking at the burning motel, flames appeared in Molly's eyes. She wanted revenge, but didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Molly's mind flashed with the image of Roy, like a god descending from heaven, fighting one against three.

Maybe that man can help me!
Molly vaguely remembered that Roy and Penny mentioned a place called Falls Town when they were chatting, so she rode her bike onto the road.

Roy didn't know what happened at the motel after he and Penny left. Their journey went very smoothly afterwards, and they arrived at the outskirts of Falls Town around noon.

The safe that was previously stolen from the strip bar has been opened. There are about 80,000 US dollars in it. Penny gave it all to Roy.

Penny trusts me so much after just knowing me for one night.

This made Roy feel a little guilty, so he decided to give Penny a chance to choose.

If Penny couldn't accept this, Roy was going to return the money and send her away.

"Penny, I have to confess something to you. I actually have other girlfriends."

Penny looked slightly surprised when she heard Roy's words.

"I thought you stopped the car specifically to tell me something, but it turns out it's about this! You're so handsome and capable, how could you have a boyfriend if you don't have a girlfriend?"

There is nothing wrong with this. In American society these days, if an adult man does not have a partner of the opposite sex for a long time, his sexual orientation will be suspected.

After all, this is not the magical society of twenty years later.

"Well, I mean, I have more than one girlfriend. I have several girlfriends. If you can't accept that, maybe..."

Penny blinked and looked at Roy, a little sad in her eyes.

"Roy, are you going to abandon me too?"

Roy shook his head firmly.

"No! I don't want to abandon you, nor do I want to abandon anyone else. If, I mean if, you are willing to accept this situation, then..."

"I accept!"

Penny interrupted Roy without hesitation, then hugged his arms and rested her head on his broad shoulders.

"I've already decided on you. I won't be separated from you no matter what!"

Roy was a little surprised by Penny's determination, and slowly hugged her in his arms.

"Don't worry, no one can separate us!"
