Chapter XXXVIII
Pete nodded and said nothing, because he felt that the others didn't know what the mission was all about. And just then, Donova came out of the hospital, and when he saw Pete and them, he said, "All right, everybody. We're leaving. Home, holidays awaited us. ”
The next day, at noon, the Man-Shark Squad returned to McLean, and after a brief report, returned their belongings, and had a light lunch, they were temporarily disbanded, and each went back to their respective homes to rest and celebrate together in the evening.
Pete didn't stay after the disbandment and went straight back to his apartment. The first thing I did when I returned to my accommodation was to take out my phone and call Dr. Feng.
It wasn't Dr. Feng who answered the phone, it was a woman. The woman's voice, not unfamiliar to Pete, was a nurse working at a clinic named Liana, a Venezuelan immigrant. Every time Dr. Feng saw a doctor or received a client, he would give the phone to this woman.
Pete didn't hang up immediately when he saw that it was this woman who answered the phone, because the other party also knew Pete. So after the two chatted for a few words, Pete told the other party to call Dr. Feng back when he was free. After hanging up, Pete turned on the TV and lay on the bed to watch TV, but he fell asleep after watching it for a while.
This sleep was not restful, because soon after falling asleep, Pete fell into an endless dream, and the things that should not have been mentioned in the depths of his memory jumped out one by one. In the dream, he changed back into himself, his real self, that is, the person named Zhong Jian, he saw his parents, friends and even lovers. But seeing them didn't bring him joy. On the contrary, he felt uneasy, nervous, and even dangerous, as if someone around him would find out his secret at any moment. And at this moment, suddenly someone was shouting his name, "Pete! Peter! ”
The voice was familiar to him, but no one should have called him that in these familiar figures in his dreams. So he turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that it was Dr. Feng standing not far away looking at him, his expression was both flustered and disappointed, as if he had done something wrong. There were other figures behind Dr. Feng, these figures could not be seen clearly, but he felt the danger, and a strong sense of fear instantly rushed to his entire brain.
Pete suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. The first thing he saw was the windswept curtains next to his bed, and the TV with advertisements playing, and then he quickly looked around. After looking around, he let out a long sigh of relief. He knew he was dreaming again, a dream that should have been beautiful but scared every time. And just as he had just relaxed, a sharp knock came at the door again.
"Pete, Pete!" It was Dr. Feng's voice, and after two shouts, there was a knock on the door.
Pete immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door and opened the door, Dr. Feng saw that the door was opened, Pete stood in the door and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't say anything but walked into the house, looked at Pete after Pete closed the door and said, "Why did you call you to open the door for a long time?" Just wake up? ”
"Yes." Pete rubbed his face, "It's not just that I woke up but I was woken up by you." ”
Doctor Feng nodded and said, "I can see it." After saying that, he sat down on a chair in the living room and put a large paper bag in his hand on the table, "The family brought it to you." Cigarettes, tea, mooncakes. There are other things, but you probably won't need them. ”
Pete opened the paper bag and looked at it, opened the cigarette directly, lit one and smoked it. Dr. Feng watched him take two puffs and said, "How was the first mission?" ”
Pete smoked a cigarette as he opened the tea caddy again, sniffed it and turned to boil water. "Simply put, it's about protecting a person who went to Mexico. There were several shootouts along the way, and I almost messed up. But in the end, everything that should have been done was done, and we all came back alive. It's just that the movement is a bit big, and a lot of people who tried to surround and intercept were killed there. ”
Dr. Feng pointed to his face and said, "Your face? ”
Pete touched his cheek and said, "Skin trauma." It's nothing. Is there any news for these two days? About Juarez, Mexico. ”
"Nope." Dr. Feng shook his head, "Nothing." It seems that the big movement you are talking about is not a big deal in the eyes of many people. ”
"Maybe." Pete nodded, walked over to the table and sat down, "Or maybe someone is trying to cover it up." ”
Doctor Feng smiled and said, "It can be imagined. After speaking, he put away his smile and said, "Did you find anything?" ”
"Nope. I think it's all normal. Pete took a puff of his cigarette, "It's just an ordinary arrest mission to bypass the laws of other countries, but the tricks are a bit complicated." ”
"Arrest?" Doctor Feng said strangely, "I remember that it was a defense mission before, right?" ”
"Yes. But then I thought it should be an action to cover people's eyes and ears or even find an excuse to arrest. It's a bit complicated because no one on our team knows what's going on, so it can take a long time to get to the bottom of it. Pete said.
"Forget it." Dr. Feng waved his hand, "I'm not interested in things that have nothing to do with us. What about you? Did you fit into that squad of yours? ”
"Almost." Pete nodded, "I'm working hard, and I'm doing a good job." That's what they generally say to me. ”
"That's good." Doctor Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then are you going to start a vacation recently?" ”
"It's a holiday." Pete said, gesturing to his face, "We've got to give us time to heal." ”
"Hehe, don't you have time to watch the Olympics?" Dr. Fung said.
"Maybe. I hope I can see it. Pete smiled too, obviously looking forward to the event in his hometown. As he spoke, he went to the calendar and looked at it, "But maybe I'll take a break and start the training camp." You know that this place is actually similar to the army, and even stricter than the army. After speaking, he glanced at the calendar, nodded on August 8, and said, "Is the opening ceremony on the evening of August 8?" It should be early in the morning of August 8th. ”
"Yes." Dr. Feng stood up, "There are still ten days left until today. Do you have time tonight? ”
"Tonight? Something? Pete asked.
"Yes. Gotta introduce you to some friends. Isn't it strange that you're a loner and don't have many hobbies? Dr. Feng said.
"Not at night." Pete shook his head, "Our team will be celebrating in the evening. So.... ”
"Okay." Dr. Feng waved his hand and walked to the door and said, "Have fun." Remember not to get drunk and be careful. ”
