CHAPTER XIX

Just as Pete was thinking about his careful thoughts, Matt, who had been staring at the time, suddenly said loudly: "Haha." He was late. Our beer is in hand. ”

"Okay." Donovan looked at the time and said with some disappointment: "It seems that he really wants to wipe the child's buttocks." ”

"Shall we get started, then?" Morris, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had not said a word, said.

Donovan glanced at Morris, took out the phone, and presumably dialed Ochoa's number. The phone was quickly connected, and Donovan looked very dissatisfied and said, "How long will it take?" After getting an answer, he hung up the phone and turned to everyone: "He's coming up." With that, he pulled a chair and sat down on the edge of the table, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Everyone sat down and didn't say anything until Ochoa opened the door in a hurry and walked in. The guy immediately said after looking around, "I'm sorry guys... Home... ”

"I don't need to explain." Donovan immediately interrupted him, "Sit down." When that's all that is done, buy a case of beer for everyone here. That's it. ”

Ochoa didn't say anything more, lowered his head and quickly found a place to sit down. As soon as he sat down, Donovan looked at everyone and said, "Good news for you." Mr. Lennon, also known as John, gave us a job. This job is not difficult, it is an ordinary armed guard, and the target of the defense is a rich man and his team. The location is Mexico. Saying that, Donovan looked at Ochoa, "Pepper's hometown." ”

Ochoa sat there silent, just quietly waiting for Donovan's next step. After seeing Ochoa, Donovan continued, "The place we're going to is not peaceful. The person we want to protect has some industry or business there, and the most important thing is that this guy has offended a local snake. The snake threatens to let the man we want to protect stay there forever if he dares to go to Mexico. So our mission is very clear, which is to arm and guard, so that our customer can come back how he goes. To be exact, it should be the whole team, a total of five people. Do you have any questions? ”

"I wonder how long this one needs us to go?" Morris immediately asked.

"A week." Donovan immediately said, "The time decided for the moment is a week. ”

"Can I know where I'm going? Where in Mexico? Ochoa asked.

"Chihuahua. A place close to Juarez. Donovan said.

When Ochoa heard the name of the place, Pete noticed that his face was a little ugly, and he looked like he wanted to say something. Donovan obviously saw this, and he looked at Ochoa and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Ochoa was stunned at first when he heard Donovan say this, and then said with a wry smile: "Actually, you should know. ”

"Know what?" Morris spread out his hands and looked at Ochoa with a questioning expression, "What the hell do you want to say?" ”

"I mean where we're going." Ochoa looked at Morris and then at Donovan and said, "It's a mess in that place. Gangsters, drug lords. If, as you say, to protect a person from entering there, and to offend a powerful person in the area, and to be regarded as an enemy by that person, is to go deep into the den of thieves. ”

"Then it seems that the person we want to protect is also a person." Matt asked, then looked at Donovan, "What is this person we are going to protect?" Since everyone else has issued death threats and he is still going, it means that there must be something very important, right? ”

"It's none of our business." Donovan waved his hand, "But I can tell you, it's about investments and other business practices. ”

"Where to invest?" Ochoa looked surprised and asked and then smiled: "Invest in drug trafficking together?" ”

"As I said, that's not what we should be concerned about. Say something useful. Donovan said.

Pete looked at Donovan and then at Ochoa, then raised his hand and gestured, "I wonder how likely it is that if we go there, the other party will actually do it?" Is it just to scare people or to really do it? In addition, if it really does it, what kind of way will the other party take to launch an attack? ”

Donovan looked at Ochoa and motioned for him to speak. Ochoa adjusted his sitting position and looked at Pete and said, "It depends on who." If you are a person with real power in the local area, you will not have any worries about dealing with a foreigner. The means are also very simple, it is blatant murder. On the street, the latter is somewhere in a public place. One or two or several gunmen suddenly surrounded them, and then there was a flurry of gunfire. That's it. ”

"This... Is there no one in the local area? Pete asked, confused, "What you said makes me feel like this place is a place of war." ”

"Tube?" Ochoa smiled bitterly and said, "Those guys are very rampant in the local area because the police and the local government can't effectively curb it, let alone stop it." And a lot of people in the government are in league with those people. But the war can't be said, they won't do it to ordinary people, because there is no point. But if someone infringes on their interests, it's different. Killing may be just the first step, and then it will be publicly displayed, such as under a viaduct or in a conspicuous place. And then it was impossible to solve the case, and it didn't take long for no one to bring it up. ”

"That means they don't have any clever tricks. It's just a matter of hiring gunmen to attack, right? Who could these gunmen be? Ordinary people, or like us? Also Can we enter Mexico with guns? Won't you have a problem crossing the border? Pete's question also caused the others to sit up straight and lean forward slightly to wait for Ochoa's answer.

"Not necessarily." Ochoa shook his head, "A lot of the gunmen are ordinary people with no service experience. But there are also some police officers and veterans. It depends on what the person who wants to do it thinks, and the specific arrangements. As for my weapons, I think this one will definitely be arranged. Speaking of this, Ochoa suddenly smiled wryly, "Actually, people carrying guns are nothing new to the locals. ”

Pete nodded and said, "I see." In other words, we can't expect others to rely on ourselves, can we? ”

"Yes. That's it. Because no one else is reliable. Ochoa looked at Pete and then at Donovan and said, "A lot of police officers can't help it." They are locals, relatives and friends are there. Let them help an irrelevant foreigner? If it were you, would you dare to take any risks? And a den of thieves, do you know what I mean? If we are on the opposite side of someone powerful in the area, then we are in a den of thieves. The locals will be the eyes of each other, as if they have radar or satellites turned on, and we have no idea what each other is doing. ”
