About fifteen minutes later, Paul appeared in my field of vision, and he was almost walking towards our two cars. I opened the door and got out of the car, "Ready?" ”

"Ready." Paul glanced at Ogil in the car, "Let him call." ”

I nodded, took out my phone and dialed the old guy's number, and after answering, I said, "We're ready." ”

"Give the phone to Ogier, and I'll talk to him again." The old guy said.

I opened the car door and handed the phone to Ogier, "Answer the phone." ”

Ogier took the phone and returned it to me after a few "uh-huh-ahhh I took the phone and put it in my ear, "To get started?" ”

"Let's get started. Call from the phone I turned off earlier. Good luck. The old guy hung up the phone.

I put the phone away, looked at Paul and nodded, "Let's get started." Write down the address here for a moment and give it to Ogier. ”

"This one was ready." Paul said and handed me a piece of paper, "The address of Road No. 4 and this apartment on here." With that, he turned around and walked towards the apartment building. I went back to the car, pulled out the old guy's phone to contact the target, turned it on, and handed it to Ogier, "Let's get started." ”

Ogier took the phone, looked at me and said, "Actually, I really want to get drunk right now." I might feel better that way. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up! Lukovic whispered a urge.

"There's no rush. When you think it's okay, call the phone. I was comforted.

Ogier looked at me, "Let's get started." As he spoke, he dialed the number on the phone, and after thinking about it twice, the phone was connected.

"Mr. Kutcher. Let's stop beating around the bush. I'm right now near the hideouts of the families of the people you're going to capture. Yes, I'm not kidding. Damn, do you think I'm still in the mood for a joke right now? I need protection! You'll have to come in person, right! Don't talk about anything else, if I don't see you coming, I'll turn around and leave, this is the last chance. I'll tell you the truth, I don't fucking believe anyone right now. Yes, I don't believe it. It's because I don't believe in you that I want you to come by yourself! What do you think? Come on, let's not waste time. No, no, no, I won't wait for you. I don't have time to wait, if you're not interested, I'll get out of here immediately. For me life is the most important thing ... What the? Are you coming? Right away? Addresses, of course, there are addresses. Ogier said, looking at me.

I immediately handed him the note with the address on it. He took the note and gave the address, and the other party may have been dissatisfied knowing that it was only an approximate address, but Ogier was very tough. He took the phone and said loudly, "Are you a fool when I am Ogier?" Now there is only one address. It is only when I see you standing in front of me, and when we have agreed, that I will tell you exactly where it is... Right! Even if you ask me to take you straight to the door then. But not right now. How long will it take you to arrive? Half-hour? Twenty minutes. I'll wait for you for twenty minutes at most, I think I'm dangerous, I can't wait another minute. Let's just say, twenty minutes, start the timer now, and I'll be gone as soon as the twenty minutes are over. Ogier hung up the phone and offered to return the phone to me.

"How? What does the other party say? I took the phone and asked.

"I guess I agreed." Ogier said.

I nodded, looked at Valery and said, "Let's go down that path." ”

Valery drove the car and quickly turned into the path. About 50 meters after entering the path, there was a dim street lamp, and I pointed to the street lamp, "When that guy comes, he will make an appointment under this street lamp." Keep going, drive slowly. ”

The car slowly moved forward, and after about 20 meters, there were some twists and turns on the path, and the light was very poor. I pointed to the side of the road, "Just stop here." ”

; After Valery pulled over, I opened the door and got out of the car. I looked around, it was dark, and the next dimly lit street lamp was about fifty meters away. And looking in the direction we came, because of the twists and turns of the path, there is no entrance here, and we can only see some light from the street lamp. On both sides of the road, there are side walls of some buildings, and some entrances and exits of alleys.

I got back in the car, looked at Valery and said, "Wait for the engine to be turned off." It's so quiet that the sound of you stalling and idling here will be heard. I didn't want the other person to know in advance that we had a car parked here, and I didn't want to give them the feeling that we were ready to leave at any moment. ”

After Valery turned off the engine, I looked at Ogier and Lukovic and said, "We'll get over when it's almost time." Let's not stand under the lamp, let's let the target stand over, understand? ”

"Understood." Lukovic replied. Ogier, on the other hand, just nodded.

I patted Ogier, "Don't be nervous. I'll tell you a secret, the old guy we have there is the one who talks to you all the time. So we'll keep you safe. ”

I opened the door and got out of the car, and walked back along the path to the street lamp not far from the intersection. I looked over the intersection, and I could see a corner of the apartment building from the intersection, and I said through the communicator, "Paul." Can you hear ME? ”

"Of course. Not only can you hear it, but it's also very clear. "Paul should be there.

"Can you see me from the apartment building? I'm now standing under a street lamp in the middle of the path. I said.

"Wait a minute." After a few moments, Paul's voice came again, "I can see part of it, I can't see it completely." Now I can only see one of your arms. Yes, an arm. ”

I moved into the middle of the road, "And now?" ”

"Half a body." Paul said.

"We're going to meet the target under this streetlamp later. I'll have the target stand under the street lamp, and I'll probably bring the guy in with him. Then I want the gardener to do something for us. I said.

"Understood! I'll arrange it right away. I warn you, though. This view is not very good. If you can, you have to ask the other person to stand in the middle of the road, or try to stand on the opposite side of the streetlight. Paul said.

"Understood. Go and call the gardener. I'm waiting here. The other party will be there in about twenty minutes. I said.

Soon the gardener's voice came to my ears, and after coordinating my position with him, I returned to the car and began to wait quietly for the call. About ten minutes later, Paul's voice came to his ears.

"Three cars drove up. They slowed down, looking like targets. ”

"Can you determine the number of people on the other side?" I asked.

"No, you can't. But judging by the model. Two SUVs and one sedan. The number of people is estimated to be at least about the same as ours. Paul said.

As soon as Paul's voice ended, the phone in my hand rang. I picked up the phone and handed it to Ogier, "Call him into the path." Remember to let him in as few people as possible. ”
