Chapter 59: Request
There is no such thing as a free lunch, so I don't know where to go and what tasks to perform. Thinking of this, Pete sighed slightly. But it doesn't matter, just achieve the goal, originally his current task is to play Pete well? The king is waiting for the next action.
So a day later, at the appointed time, Pete and Donovan arrived at Helmet's headquarters. However, instead of going to the sixth floor, they were placed on the third floor, in Team 009's own room.
No sooner had Pete and Donovan sat down than the door opened again. I saw John wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt on his upper body and a pair of suit shorts on his lower body, which looked very relaxed. After glancing at Donovan and Pete, he smiled and said, "I guess I'm not late." With that, Donovan shook hands with Pete and continued, "Sorry for dressing like this." My vacation has just begun, and it was only three or four days. So I've got to hurry, I don't think you'll mind. ”
"Nope. No. Pete and Donovan each shook their heads and said in unison.
John smiled and sat down, then pointed to Donovan's arm and said, "I heard that the recovery is good." I hope that those who provided me with the report are not lying. ”
"That's good." Donovan nodded, "Maybe it won't be long before I'll be able to return to the team." ”
"That's great." John pouted as he spoke, "You don't know how short of people there is right now. When I called Pete that day, I was asked to assemble a crack squad of about 20 people. Damn, where do I have manpower now? It was an easy task to find twenty wounded soldiers. After saying that, he waved his hand and looked at Pete and Donovan and said, "Don't talk about that." Tell me what you're looking for me to do? Is it about Evans? ”
Pete and Donovan glanced at each other and motioned for Donovan to come in. Donovan nodded and said, "Yes." It's really about Evans. While in Georgia, Evans was wounded. Of all of us, he was the most wounded except for his fallen comrades. I think you should know that too. ”
"Of course I do." John clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Donovan and said, "Are you worried that Evans won't be able to continue and that Hermet will break his contract?" ”
"Yes..." Donovan nodded with some surprise when he saw John say it directly.
John thought for a moment and said, "So, are you trying to keep him?" Did he mean it or yours? ”
Donovan and Pete looked at each other and said, "Both." ”
"Yes, there are." Pete followed suit.
"Both?" John shook his head slightly in disbelief and said, "Our line of work is different from the others. If he doesn't have a healthy body and full of physical strength, it is simply suicide, not only to himself, but also to other people around him. You should know that. So it seems to me that I should thank God for his mercy to come back alive this time. As for the future, it is better to live a simple life, which is good for him and all of you. ”
"Nope." Donovan heard John say this and immediately said, "We may not have made it clear. We weren't asking Evans to stay with us. ”
"Yes, it's not." Pete followed suit: "We know the rules, we just wanted to ask you to put a job for Evans." Inside Helmet. ”
"yes, that's it." Donovan nodded.
John looked at the two people in front of him, and his request surprised him a little, so he didn't answer immediately but said after a moment of silence, "Why is that?" Is it bad to take a sum of money and go home? ”
"For me... Pete looked at Donovan and said, "It might be good for me." But that doesn't seem to be the case for Mr. Evans. ”
"Yes." Donovan said, "That's all he's going to do." He is the kind of person who spends money when he has it and does whatever he likes. If he is dismissed, I guarantee that he will soon lose his way and be destitute. We don't want to see that happen. You should know that there are a lot of people who will only do one or two things, and they are very good at it, but if they suddenly don't do it, they are nothing, and they will not do anything else. Especially since he is also old, it is difficult to change anything. ”
"Okay." John quickly understood what Donovan was trying to say, that John himself was about the same as Evans, and that he was only good at what he was doing, and that if he were to leave one day, he would be overwhelmed and disoriented. And in his more than ten years of military career, he has indeed seen a lot of such guys who are very good in the army, and once they return to society, they will become an ordinary person but live a very bad life. Therefore, John understands and agrees with the words of the two people in front of him and their concerns, and also appreciates their sense of responsibility. So he continued, "So what do you want me to help?" What kind of work will he be assigned to? What else could he do but charge? ”
"Gunsmith." Pete said immediately.
"Yes. Evans is very knowledgeable about guns. He is very good at changing guns and adding and making some small parts. The performance of various guns is well understood, and the experience of use is also very rich. Donovan immediately followed.
"And it's not that kind of range experience." Pete then added: "It's in real combat. Those are very useful. ”
"That's right." Donovan immediately nodded and said, "Our previous training, especially the indoor close-quarters combat training, was completed by Evans with everyone. So in addition to the gunsmith, it is more than enough to let him be an instructor. ”
"The guns were also accurate." Pete continued: "There aren't many people who can play that level of accuracy in real combat. He also taught me a lot. ”
"And me." Donovan also said in the affirmative.
John looked at Donovan and then at Pete, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that we almost lost a very important person." After saying that, he put down the hand that had been holding his chest and leaned against the table, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay." I'll figure it out. It shouldn't be difficult, we don't have enough manpower. It's not just you, it's understaffed in all areas. Someone like him who has retired from injury and has a specialty should really think about it more. After speaking, he looked at Donovan and said, "Is it a gunsmith or an instructor?" ”
"Yes." Donovan nodded, "He has absolutely no problem with both. ”
"Is he willing to do it himself?" "I mean leave the real front line and become a support person," John said. Some people can't accept this either. ”
