Chapter 39: Holidays

At six o'clock in the evening, Donovan drove to Pete's apartment, and after taking Pete, the two went to a McLean restaurant, and after a brief meal, the two set off for a bar in the center of the city. By the time they arrived, the rest of the Man-Eating Shark Squad had already arrived. Morris, Matt, and Evans seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and were dragged along to drink after Donovan announced that the team would have a week's vacation. Originally, everyone was not going to let Pete go, but Pete hid with Ochoa on the pretext of leaving someone to take them home at the end, and the two asked for a non-alcoholic drink and chatted while drinking.

On this night, everyone except Pete and Ochoa drank a lot, and everyone including Ellie couldn't find North. At first, the content of the chat revolved around the mission in Mexico, but it didn't take long for it to start to become chaotic and unfocused, sometimes talking about ideals, sometimes talking about the situation during the mission, sometimes talking about women, and sometimes talking about men, in short, these guys were already delirious by the time they drank until almost midnight, but it didn't matter, the most important thing was that the atmosphere in the whole team was much better than before, after all, cohesion and trust are brought by victory, and defeat can only bring the opposite effect.

After the guys had all drunk and drunk, Pete and Ochoa, with the help of the bartenders, carried them out one by one to the parking lot.

"What should we do?" Ochoa looked at Pete and said, "Divide them?" ”

"I'm fine." Pete shrugged, "But I may only know the chief's home, and the others... ”

"That's not a problem." Ochoa waved his hand, "You use Big Bird's car, send Big Bird, Ellie, and Old Evans." Several of them live relatively close. As he spoke, he looked at the rest of the people: "The rest is mine." He walked over to his car, took out a pen and paper from the car, and quickly wrote down two addresses by the light of the street lights in the parking lot and handed them to Pete, "The first line is Avery and the second line is Evans's." After Pete took the address, Ochoa looked at Pete and said, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

Pete took the address and looked at it and said, "What's the problem?" ”

"Do you have children?" Ochoa asked.

This question surprised Pete, who looked at Ochoa and smiled after confirming that the other party was serious, "Actually, I don't even have a girlfriend." ”

"Okay... Ochoa sighed and said, "I shouldn't have asked that, but before in Chihuahua, you could think of giving money to those two children." Make me think you're a man with children. ”

"Nope. That's nothing. Pete shook his head, "I just think... I think those two children are very... ”

"Pathetic, isn't it?" Ochoa said, "It's pitiful indeed. After saying that, he let out a long sigh and looked a little lost, "That's it there." Forget it, let's not talk about that. Ochoa waved his hand, "I think you're a nice guy." It's true. With that, he bent down and pulled Morris up, "Come and get a hand, let's shove these bastards into the car first." ”

The week's holiday was both expected and disappointing for Pete, as it meant that the opening ceremony of the Olympics might not be seen. However, during the holidays, Pete was not idle, let alone staying in the apartment. On the contrary, he was arranged to attend several meetings in the past few days, ranging from only three or four people to one or twenty people, all arranged by Dr. Feng anyway. For these arrangements, Pete wanted to refuse. In fact, as far as his heart is concerned, he hopes to be quiet, because in this space where he is alone, he can relax and dream, even if the content of the dream often makes him feel uncomfortable, but after all, it is still himself, the real self.

And once he walks through the door, he needs to be someone else. It's a chore, and you can't make mistakes. This put a lot of pressure on him. But Dr. Fung insisted that he attend these events for the simple reason of that. A young person should not be withdrawn, he should have a rich life content, only in this way will not make people think you are strange, and more importantly, it is a means to adapt to the life of ordinary people here, after all, neither of them knows how long they will stay here, maybe it will be many years or even a lifetime, so you have to integrate into the normal life here as soon as possible, meet new friends, and enter some like-minded circles, rather than being out of place and closing yourself in a world of your own. So Pete met a lot of people and talked a lot in the first few days of the holiday, and gradually he agreed with what Dr. Feng said, whether he was familiar with these people or not, but everyone from the same country was the biggest topic of conversation. So Pete gradually entered the state, he began to be less vigilant, became more relaxed, and became more cheerful.

But just as he was really enjoying his vacation, a phone call in the middle of the night interrupted everything. It was the middle of the night on the fourth day of the holiday, and Pete had just returned to his apartment from a party to wash up and go to bed, when he was just undressing when the phone for Helmet employees rang.

Pete took the phone and saw Brad Donovan's name on the phone screen. He immediately answered the phone, and before he could speak, Donovan was already on the other end of the phone: "Master." Sorry to call you so late. But we just got the news that we have to go to the headquarters immediately to assemble and stand by. ”

"Nothing. I didn't sleep either. Pete listened to the voice on the phone and could clearly determine that Donovan was getting dressed, and that he should have fallen asleep and was woken up by the phone. Do you want to go right away? Do you know what it does? ”

"Actually, I don't know anything." Donovan sighed, "Alright, no more talk. Say goodbye to your friends and holidays. That's it, I have to inform the others, by the way, you help me call Avery and Jeff. You should have their phone, right? ”

"Yes, I'll hit it right away." Pete immediately dialed Elli and Jeff as soon as Donovan hung up, and Elli seemed to be asleep a long time ago, while Jeff was still playing outside and was still in a state of euphoria. After informing the two men, Pete took out his personal phone and dialed Victor Fung, who is also known as Dr. Fung.

The phone was quickly connected, and Dr. Feng's voice seemed to be a little surprised, "What? Something? ”

Pete immediately said: "I'm going to Helmet soon, and I don't know how long it will take to do what I do." I'll get back to you when I get back or when I have the chance. ”

"Good. Be careful. Wait for your news. Dr. Feng hung up the phone after speaking.
