Chapter 54: Meeting
"What do you think?" Pete asked rhetorically, "Do you mean that I'll have more chances or what?" ”
Parker shook his head and said, "Aren't you already doing a good job now?" I read Feng's report. You're doing a great job. Everything is going according to our expectations. As he spoke, he glanced at Pete, who still hadn't figured it out, and said, "Don't worry. We probably won't have anything to do for a while. You just have to play your part. That's what you're going to do at the moment. Soon your value will be revealed. So don't be in a hurry, and don't be confused. You just need to be clear that everyone must have planned and planned all this at such a large cost. And haven't you already played an important role? He said and made a shooting gesture and said, "That shot for me, I don't dare to shoot like that." ”
Parker's words still didn't make Pete understand what he was entering Helmet for, but he felt a lot more relieved. His biggest problem here is psychological, he is afraid that he will slack off, be forgotten, and even completely forget who he is in the end. So Parker's words made him feel very happy, and he also felt that Parker was not actually as difficult to get along with as before. So he said, "Do you know how long you've been here?" ”
Parker looked at Pete and said, "I can't say how long." But much longer than you. It is also longer than Feng's time. ”
"So long?" Pete couldn't help but stare at Parker, "Then have you ever been home?" ”
"Go home..." Parker sighed slightly when he heard this and said, "I went back a long time ago. I just looked at it. Nothing special. Anyway, someone sends me money every month. It's okay. ”
Parker spoke lightly, but Pete could easily hear the bitterness. He took a drag on his cigarette and didn't make a sound, because he thought of himself. I haven't seen my family for a long time, and I don't know how they're doing.
"How?" Parker looked at Pete and knew what he was thinking, "Missing his family?" ”
"Hmm." Pi nodded and said, "Mom and Dad and my sister." ”
"Yo. And a big sister? Parker actually knew, but still looked surprised at the moment and said, "That's better than me." I'm the only one in my family. There are quite a few cousins, and a bunch of cousins, some of whom I still haven't figured out the relationship. ”
Listening to Parker say this, Pete looked at him, Parker is actually the only son in the family? This surprised him very much, he was at least better than him, at least psychologically, he still had a sister at home. And Parker...
"Hey... Parker sighed and extinguished the end of his cigarette, "So I have to pass it on." This is a big deal, if I don't have a son and a half daughter at this age, my father will have to clean me up every day. With that, he smiled wryly and stood up, and after a lazy back, he glanced at the time, "I'm going to sleep." Call me at lunchtime. When I came up, I saw a few Chinese restaurants below, and I had to try them later. ”
"Good. You go to sleep. I'm staring here. Pete said.
Parker waved his hand and said, "What are you staring at?" If we've just arrived and we've been found, you think you'll be fine if you're staring? It's time to watch TV, watch TV, and sleep for a while if you want to. Didn't you just say it, just take it as a holiday. Don't scare yourself. After saying that, he looked left and right and walked to the bedroom, but when he walked to the bedroom door, he stopped and turned to look at Pete and said, "You just said that you have a sister?" Married? ”
"Huh?" Pete didn't understand what Parker meant for a while, but he seemed to understand a little...
Two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, here at the headquarters of the Langley Intelligence Agency. A figure in a suit and leather shoes, but a somewhat staggering walk, came to the outside of Miller's office.
Miller hadn't arrived yet, and Miller's female secretary, who was about to start her day's work outside the office, looked up at the person after realizing that someone was coming.
"Eric?" The female secretary looked at the man with some surprise: "Are you recovered?" ”
The person who came was none other than Eric. His appearance at this moment is very different from what he saw in Georgia before, not only is he well-dressed, but the beard and hair on his face can also be seen to be groomed. So although his pace of movement was a little sluggish, the whole person looked very energetic.
"Almost." Eric nodded and said, "I've had enough in the hospital anyway." With that, he came to the female secretary's desk, glanced at Miller's office, and said, "Not there yet?" ”
When the female secretary heard him say this, she didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Are you here to find Miller?" After asking, he opened a notepad on the table, looked at it and said, "He doesn't seem to have said it... ”
"Come on, Tina." Eric glanced at her notepad and smiled disappreciatively: "I'm not from other departments, do I have to make an appointment a week and a half in advance to see him?" If I'm not mistaken, I was directly under his command, right? He sat down on a bench across from Tina's desk for visitors to sit and wait, looking a little tired, "Sorry, there's a hole in my stomach and my legs are just walking." It will take some time to fully recover from normal, so ... After a little effort to sit down, he continued, "That's right." He was the one who told me to come to see him as soon as possible. You can call and ask. If he says it's not, I'll leave right away. I won't embarrass you. ”
Tina didn't pick up the phone right away, but after watching Eric sit down, she said, "Do you know he's not here these days?" ”
"Yes." Eric nodded and said, "He went to Los Angeles." After speaking, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, don't test me again." As he spoke, he pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "Look, I'm prepared." New suits, leather shoes, fresh haircuts yesterday, freshly shaved beard in the morning. What do you think I'm doing? Coming to amuse you early in the morning? After speaking, he pointed to the phone on the table and said, "Call and ask." I promise no one will think you're an easily fooled fool. I promise. ”
Tina heard Eric say this before picking up the phone and dialing a number, only to hear Tina speak after a moment, "Sir." Eric wants to see you. Yes, he's sitting across from me right now. Okay, I got it. With that, he hung up the phone.
"How? How long will he be there? Eric asked.
Tina hung up the phone and said, "Would you like something to drink?" Coffee? ”
