Although Pete has not been in this team for a long time, he still has a certain understanding of Morris and Matt's usual behavior, and he smiled and said: "That means that they are recovering well." ”

"yes... Donovan nodded, "At least there's nothing wrong with that thing." ”

After coming to the outside of the hospital's inpatient building, the two found a place with few people and stood down. Pete took out a cigarette and handed it to Donovan, lit each of them and took a puff, "How long will it take for Mr. Evans to recover?" ”

"The doctor said he would stay here for at least a month." Donovan puffed out his cigarette and continued, "I'm older, I'm slower." ”

"Then you didn't talk to him about that, did you?" Pete asked.

"Not yet." Donovan sighed slightly and said with some concern, "But I think this old guy seems to have realized it." Chatting with me two days ago, he said that maybe he was going to be fired. ”

Pete glanced at Donovan and said, "Then our plans seem to be changing?" I'll have to ask Mr. John in advance. ”

"As soon as possible, if you can." Donovan nodded, "I'll go with you." I've never experienced this before, and I've never heard of it. I wanted to inquire if there was anything like this, but I was afraid that there would be a lot of talk, and when the time came, Evans heard something unpleasant, so it would be bad. ”

"Okay." Pete thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to Hermet in the afternoon, I'll go to Mr. John, and make an appointment with him." Is that okay? ”

"Just do as you say." Donovan immediately agreed, but added, "But he may not be at headquarters." He's probably the busiest person we've ever had. ”

"So what should I do?" Pete asked.

"Make an appointment." Donovan smiled and said, "And even if you make an appointment, you can't always see it." It depends on whether he thinks it's important. ”

"It shouldn't be a problem." Pete thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to regroup soon, and I think he'll be there by then." So I'm not afraid of not seeing it. I'll go make an appointment though. Is it going to the sixth floor? ”

"Nope." Donovan shook his head and said, "You can't do anything if you go directly to the sixth floor, and you won't be allowed to go in there at all." You have to make an appointment by phone at the reception desk in the lobby on the first floor or on our floor. They'll get back to you in a day or two. ”

"Good. I understand. Pete shook his head helplessly and said, "The headquarters is so strict, are there many secrets?" ”

"I don't know. But certainly quite a few. Donovan looked at Pete and said, "We're just from one of the departments." It's not just us who do it, but some of the intelligence bureau's work, and it's said that it's getting bigger and bigger. So it's normal to have secrets, and it's strange if you don't. But it doesn't matter to us, we just know what we do, just like when we were in the service, and it doesn't matter to us why we do it. ”

Pete nodded, looked at the time after the extinguished cigarette butt and said, "Then I'll go first." When Mr. Evans wakes up, remember to say hello to me. ”

"Okay." Donovan nodded and looked at the hospital building, "I'll be home soon." I've had enough of this place. ”

When I rode my bicycle to the headquarters of the Black Evil Sky Met, it was already half past two in the afternoon. It's the hottest time of the day, so even though the air conditioner is turned on enough, the people here still seem a little lazy.

Pete arrives at the reception desk, and after identifying himself and expressing his request to meet John, one of the receptionists contacts him. The reply I got was similar to what Donovan said, which was to go home and wait for news.

There is no rush for this Pete, after all, Evans' injury still needs time to recover, and he will be able to see John soon. So I didn't ask any more questions and went straight to the gym. But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to his residence after a day's exercise, the phone of the Hermet he had with him rang.

Pete took out the phone and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number, but after connecting it, a familiar voice came.

"Pete, I heard you want to see me?"

This is John! Pete immediately recognized the voice. He immediately said, "Yes, Mr. John." Originally, I thought you would call back after today. ”

"Huh. I'm not that busy. Especially recently. As long as it is not a field mission, there is generally more time. After speaking, John sighed slightly and said, "What's wrong?" How can I help you? ”

"That's right, sir, Donovan and I want to talk to you about our squad." Pete said.

"Your squad?" John didn't figure out what it was for a while, and after asking rhetorically, he said, "What's wrong with your team?" If we want to replenish the staff, it is already arranged. Everything is carried out according to the regulations. ”

"No, no, no." Pete immediately denied it: "It's not our business, we all know it." We wanted to talk to you about Mr. Evans on our team. You should have an impression of him. “

"Evans. Of course. John immediately responded, "A lot of people know him in Evans. Is it his problem? ”

"This... Pete hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it was supposed to be my commander Donovan who should have told you. However, he is now being treated in hospital. So I had to make an appointment first, and I wanted to find a time to talk to you in person with Donovan. To be precise, I want you to do us a favor. ”

John seemed to understand something when he heard Pete say this. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Originally, I thought that something was wrong with you and you couldn't report on time in a few days." Well, then the day after tomorrow, ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you at the headquarters in Hermet. ”

"Okay. We'll be there on time. Thank you. ”

John quickly hung up. Pete glanced at the phone and quickly recalled the conversation he had had with John.

From the few words he could tell, John was busy, and he could hear the voices of others talking around him on the phone. The voice was steady and steady, indicating that the speaker was probably discussing something. And John took the time to call himself. In addition, the reason why John called back so quickly was because he was worried that he would not be able to report to the agreed time because he had a problem, and then missed the mission after he participated. From this point of view, John has already made personnel arrangements, in addition to the fact that the manpower is a little tight, and the task he will perform may be more important. That's why John called so quickly, and quickly agreed to meet with him.
