Pete looked around and then turned to Evans and said, "There don't seem to be any strangers in this place except you and me. ”

"I feel the same. There aren't many people in the city in total. Just look at the streets. Evans said as he ate.

Pete nodded and said, "I like places like this." They are all people they know and have a sense of security. ”

"Huh." Evans laughed and said, "This is the country." I still like big cities, places with a lot of people. That's the kind of place where you feel safe. Isn't it afraid that you can't see people in this kind of place when you run far away? ”

Pete laughed and said, "You don't know anyone in this place?" ”

"Nope." Evans shook his head and said, "I said, I don't like places with few people, how can I make friends here?" ”

"But you're trading with people here, and it's important to you." Pete said: "This reason is enough. Isn't it good to have someone who knows the local area and can inform you of any trouble? ”

Evans was stunned when he heard Pete say this, and said, "What you said seems to make sense." But it's too late now. ”

"Yes. We have to think about it, if there were people who came here early with similar goals as us, where would they be? Pete asked.

"Restaurant? Bars, inns... I can't think of any other place than that. Evans said.

Pete nodded and said, "Let's go to these places in a moment." In the future, if you have time, you should also make a few friends in these places, or just send a cautious person to come here directly. ”

Evans nodded, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "I suddenly feel like I'm a little bit heading towards those big underground arms dealers. ”

"Huh. Do a good job, and maybe you can take a stake in Hermet. Pete jokingly said a word, then put down the utensils and said, "Let's go, let's go to other places, find a place to stay first, and inquire about the news along the way." ”

"Okay." Evans got up and paid, and left the restaurant with Pete. Then he walked around the city of Anthony for a long time, until the evening, when he stayed in a fairly modest inn.

"It seems that this place is peaceful. There have been no strangers here lately. Pete said as he entered the room.

"Tranquility? I call it silence ... Lifeless. Evans said with a sigh, "Even that bar doesn't have many people, and seeing us go in is like seeing aliens." A bunch of hillbillies. ”

"Haha." Pete smiled and said, "That's why I let you make a few friends in this place." If you manage it well, maybe you'll be able to trade with Anthony in the future, better than if you go to that middle nowhere. ”

"That's right." Evans said as he collapsed on the bed, "This bed is not bad. Barnes will be there tomorrow. ”

"Get the gear, and we'll go to that stone mountain. When is the specific time of the transaction? Pete asked.

"The day after tomorrow. At 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, we will meet at the trading place. They inspect the goods, we collect the money, and then hand them over the car with it. Everyone patted their butts and went their own way. That's it. Evans said.

Pete nodded and said, "Then we'll have to lay an ambush there early in the morning." ”

"No problem." Evans immediately said, "Tomorrow when Barnes arrives." We're going to get started, and oh yes, the guy in charge of the explosives will be coming. ”

"That's not a problem. Tell him what we want. Just set it up for us. I'm going to set it up tomorrow evening. Pete said.

"Listen to you." Evans said as he stood up and stretched his back and walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on tomorrow. ”

The next morning, shortly after Pete and Evans had breakfast, Barnes called. After a brief phone call, Evans left Anthony with Pete and returned to the side of the road near their trading location. At this moment, Barnes, who was driving a Dodge pickup, was already waiting here with another person.

The other was fat, but he looked much cleaner than the bearded Barnes. Evans stepped forward to hug the fat man and introduced Pete, "This is our demolition expert, Jade Lewis." Then he said to the fat man, "This is my brother, Pete." ”

After Pete shook hands with the fat man, Evans looked at Barnes and said, "Everything went well on the road?" ”

"Smooth." Barnes opened the door as he spoke, and removed a rectangular box from the back of the car, followed by a large backpack. "This is for you. Lewis's stuff is in the crate. ”

Evans took the gear and said, "Let's go, go there." We're going to tell you about our plans first. ”

While Pete and the others begin to prepare, Tucker and Evans yawn as they walk out of the Washington airport and get into a car that picks them up.

"Mr. Miller wants to see you." The man who picked them up spoke as soon as he got into the car.

"In a hurry? Can I go home and sleep for a while? Eric asked.

The man in the driver's seat shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe you can only take a nap in the car for a while." ”

"Okay." Eric reluctantly replied and fell asleep on the seat.

About half an hour later, the car drove up to the gate of the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau. At Tucker's prompting, Eric opened his glasses and followed Tucker into the building in a daze, passing through security and heading to Miller's office. But as soon as they arrived at the level where they were, Miller seemed to be waiting for them, and when he saw them, he waved at them and led them into the conference room.

"Sit down. I've got coffee for you, and I'll bring it to you in a moment. I know you're tired, but things have to be done, and obviously we don't have much time to waste at the moment, we have to act. ”

Eric didn't seem to care much about what Miller said, only to see him yawning and rubbing his eyes, so Miller could only look at Tucker and say, "How's it going in Los Angeles?" ”

"We've got it done. The personnel are in place, and the monitoring equipment can be delivered one after another today. In addition, our people also rented a house next to this guy's rented house, and I think we can all control this guy's every move. Tucker Road.

"Good." Miller nodded, "Remember not to let him notice, just keep an eye on it." ”
