Chapter 8 Arrival
Before eight o'clock in the morning, Pete arrived at the door of Matiel's Cafe and quickly saw Parker's car parked in the off-street parking space.
Bursts of smoke could be seen coming out of the car window, and it was clear that the guy was smoking a cigarette inside.
Pete walked slowly towards the car, and Parker quickly saw Pete, and after Pete walked in, he gestured to the co-pilot's position before picking up the cigarette in his hand and smoking again.
"Coming early?" Pete asked as soon as he got in the car.
"Yes." Parker nodded, "I like that." Arrive early, stay quiet, smoke a cigarette, and have a cup of coffee. As he spoke, he glanced at the place where the water cup was placed on the right hand, and the paper cup containing the coffee pouted and said, "Although this tastes terrible." What about you? Have you eaten and drunk enough? ”
"Of course. I don't go out hungry. This is true everywhere, unless there is really nothing to eat, or there is no chance to eat. Pete said.
"That's a good habit." Parker nodded as if satisfied, "This at least shows that you have a stronger heart than the average person." I remember that in the past, if I had to do something very important, breakfast was a painful thing. I have no appetite, and I feel like my sense of taste has deteriorated, and I don't feel anything when I eat. As he spoke, he looked at Pete and said, "I'm too nervous, and I start worrying when I shouldn't be nervous." ”
"You seem to be pretty much the same now." Pete replied casually.
"Really?" Parker looked at Pete with some surprise and smiled, "How do you see it?" ”
In fact, Pete regretted it a little after saying it, but seeing that Parker had asked, he continued: "You are very careful, especially before actually doing things. This was the case before, and it's the same this time. It's as if you've become a different person entirely, cautious and always worrying. ”
Pete's words made Parker let out a long sigh, and he smiled wryly and said, "It seems that after all these years, I am still like that." It's hard to change your nature. As he spoke, he picked up the paper cup with the coffee in it and took a sip and said, "Maybe I'm not fit for such a thing." But now it's useless to talk about this, they all got on the thief ship and couldn't get off. Hahaha. ”
Pete looked at Parker and smiled dryly, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost time soon." Would you like to give Dr. Feng a call? ”
"No, you don't." Parker shook his head and said, "Isn't it still there?" Quiet, wait. After speaking, he smiled and said, "It seems that you are not much better than me, and you are also a little worried." ”
As the two of them spoke, Victor Feng appeared in their field of vision. I saw him trotting all the way after seeing Parker's car, still carrying a small travel bag in his hand.
"Backseat." Parker said a word to Feng and then got into the car, and after Dr. Feng got into the car and sat in the back seat, Parker continued, "Still with a travel bag?" Are you really going on a trip? ”
"You can't bring it." Feng sighed and said, "Go out for two days of academic meetings bare-handed? I don't believe it myself. ”
"Huh." Parker smiled and said, "It's good to have a wife." There are always people who are concerned and concerned. Very good. But this academic conference ... Are you sure this reason works? ”
"There will be no problem." Victor Feng said with certainty: "This kind of group of peers get together a lot every year. It's going to be fine. ”
"Okay. Don't forget to bring some gifts for your wife and children. Although the SAR is not far from here. With that, Parker sped up and drove all the way out.
This time the journey was indeed not far, and two hours later I arrived in the Special Administrative Region and drove directly to Wesley Road. Parker seemed to be familiar with this place, and drove straight over with a light car.
"See?" Parker said as he slowed down and pointed to the side of the road on his right, "That's the hotel this guy is staying at, the Winterham Garden Hotel." ”
Pete turned his head to look there, this hotel is very imposing, there is a small square in front of the door, and in the middle is a large flower bed, which turns this square into a small roundabout. At the gate, there are people coming in and out, and through the glass wall, you can vaguely see that there are many people in the hall inside.
"There are a lot of people living in this hotel." Pete whispered.
"It's just in time." Parker said a word and increased his speed, and after driving past the hotel, he pointed across the street to a small three-story building on the left: "See that window with brown curtains?" That's where we come in. He didn't go right away, but drove all the way out of Wesley Street and into an underground parking lot on another street. After finding a parking space for the car, Parker opened the door and said, "Let's change cars." ”
Pete glanced at Parker's Ford, which seemed to be the same one that the guy had driven before, and the license plate was also from the SAR. It seems that this guy must be active here a lot, so he is reluctant to use this car that he usually uses for safety.
"Here, it's this one." Parker said as he walked over to a Chevrolet sedan parked in a parking area next door, pulled out the key, opened the door, and sat directly in the cab.
Pete looked at the car, the car was a little broken, the paint on the white body had been yellowed and not so white, and there were still a lot of mud spots and scratches on both sides of the wheels.
After getting into their cars, Parker drove back to Wesley Street, but instead of actually entering the street, he turned around from the intersection on the east side of the street, and after driving a short distance, he parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road.
"Get out of the car." Parker said as he opened the door and got out of the car, looked back and forth as he walked to the trunk and said, "Come get something." ”
Pete looked at the path not far away, which was supposed to be the one next to the Wesley Road, and the entrance to the stairwell where they landed should be on the side of the road. That's why this guy drove the car here and stopped.
"See what? Come over and get something. Parker urged as he opened the trunk and pulled out a large school bag inside.
Pete immediately went over and took his bag and carried it on his back, while Parker locked the car and walked straight down the path. He said as he walked, "The stairs are here." There are also small shops selling food on this road outside. A convenient place. ”
Pete nodded and looked around, this path was much cleaner than Wesley Road, and only a few people could be seen walking during the day. There are also some goods piled up in some places, as if they are unloading here. It seems that they are not the only ones who have settled here as a storehouse.
