Chapter 42: Catching the Spy
If he says yes tomorrow, I'll let him see you, right? John asked.
"Yes. I want to see him again, after all, he's going to work with me in the future. Tucker Road.
"What if he doesn't say yes?" John didn't wait for Tucker to answer before continuing, "Actually, I'd rather he didn't agree, so I'd have had an experienced captain." That's what I need most right now. ”
"I think he'll say yes. Since he can accept those terms of the Marine Corps, he can accept the current one. People are like that, and when he thinks about it, he knows what is most important to him. Tucker said with confidence.
Pete quickly returned to the residence, and directly took out the food he had bought and began to prepare dinner. As for what is not considered, I haven't thought about it at all, what is there to consider? It's just a gesture. So this afternoon, Pete made himself some of his favorite food, and drank some wine for the first time to celebrate himself, after all, this is also a breakthrough in his work.
At dinner, Pete took out his hardly worn suit, ironed it, and wiped off a pair of black leather shoes that he hadn't worn for a long time. After getting ready, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Feng.
Dr. Feng was off work at the moment, and his voice sounded like he was eating dinner, and after receiving a call from Pete, he said, "How is today?" ”
"Not bad. I went to Helmet and talked to John. Pete said.
"How?" Dr. Fung asked.
"It's about the same as we expected, if not better. I said I'd think about it and give him an answer tomorrow afternoon. Pete said.
Dr. Feng was a little puzzled by Pete's reconsideration at first, but he soon realized what the problem was, and he smiled and said, "You have a good hand, aren't you afraid that they won't want you?" ”
"It can't be." Pete immediately said: "If you don't want to be so tongue-in-law, I have seen quite a few people today." These people are not all from the same field, they should have their own expertise, so this department is a radish and a pit, but Ding Kemao is not so simple. ”
"That's good. The tighter the place, the better it is. Dr. Feng said and smiled, "Then you have to go to Hermet tomorrow?" ”
"Mostly, yes." "I've figured it out, and I think it's going to be fine," Pete said. ”
"Good. Then good luck. Dr. Feng said.
The next day, Pete stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, and he called John at two o'clock in the afternoon. John's phone was quickly connected, and Pete said, "Mr. John, I've thought about it." ”
"Oh? What is the result? John asked immediately.
"I opt in." Pete said calmly.
John seemed to be in a good mood when he heard the news, and he smiled and said, "I'm glad you made the right choice." So can you come to Helmet now? We're going to have to meet and talk, or to be precise, someone from the Intelligence Agency wants to talk to you. ”
"Okay. Right away? Pete confirmed.
John was silent for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. Then he asked as if on the phone and said, "Yes." Come right here. ”
"Okay. See you later. Pete hung up and went out.
When he came to John's office again, John saw that Pete was dressed as if he was a little uncomfortable. He pointed at Pete and said, "Why did you suddenly put these on?" ”
Pete looked a little embarrassed, and he glanced towards his body and said, "This... Is there something wrong? When I came here yesterday, I saw other people outside the door, they were all in suits and leather shoes, and I was the only one... At the time I felt like I was an outlier, and suddenly realized if this was not formal and respectful enough... So today ... ”
"Alright." John smiled and waved his hand, "I understand, I understand." Actually, it's nothing, although you feel better for me to wear the one from yesterday, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but there's nothing wrong with this one, especially if you're about to meet someone from the Intelligence Bureau, come with me. ”
Pete nodded and followed John out of the office, down the aisle to another office about twenty or thirty meters away.
"You wait for me here." After saying a word, John opened the office door and walked in and closed the door, only to let Pete walk in a few moments.
Pete enters the office and first sees two people sitting in the main seat, both of whom he knows, one is Tucker and the other is Eric, who has stolen the list in Georgia.
"You may be seated, Pete." This time Tucker didn't speak, but Eric gestured to a lone chair in the middle of the room, about three or four meters away from them.
Pete couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw these two people, maybe it was because of the lack of heart of the thief, anyway, he didn't know why these two people appeared here together for a while.
However, Pete was still calm on the surface, and quickly calmed down and sat in the other party's designated position.
"Pete, we're meeting again." Eric smiled and said, "The two of us have not worked together for a long time, but it is impressive, I should say that it will be unforgettable, if it were not for you, I think I would have died either in the mountains outside Tskhinvali or moldy in some of the Russian houses." I owe you a good thank you for that. ”
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Pete replied with a serious look.
"Don't be nervous." Eric looked at Pete and smiled, and pointed to Pete's suit and said, "The clothes fit well, but you should unbutton the front of your stomach when you sit down, it will make you look more relaxed." ”
Pete glanced at his suit and immediately unbuttoned it, "I've never worn a suit like this a few times in my life." ”
Eric smiled and said, "Maybe I'll wear it more often in the future." After saying that, he glanced at Tucker and said, "I think you already understand what to do after that, right?" ”
"Yes. Catch a spy. As weird as I think it is, I think I understand what's going on. Pete said.
Eric nodded and said, "It's a spy." But what I want to emphasize with you is that we are most likely dealing with the Chinese. I think it's necessary for me to explain what I just said, you're an American now, you're an American, and me, and him, and him... Eric pointed to the others, "And the people out there." And the people out there are. So don't think that what I just said was provocative or even insulting, no, not at all. ”
