Chapter 1: Langley
Pete hung up and smoked quietly in the room. He felt a little tangled at the moment, maybe it was because this feeling hadn't been there for a long time, so it made him a little uncomfortable. And the reason for his entanglement is certainly not the upcoming trip to Mexico, but another reason. To put it simply, Pete wants to improve his position in Helmet as soon as possible, so that he can have a greater chance to complete the task he really wants to complete. And the rapid improvement means that he has to work harder to perform and even take risks, and this obviously increases the possibility of his own death. After all, a dead man is the most worthless, and if he dies, it also means that the mission has been failed and suspended. But the struggle didn't last long, because he remembered what the guy who trained him had told him when he was training in that distant place, and he couldn't remember the original words, which roughly meant, "In this business, there is no one to give advice, and everything is on your own." Just do what you feel is right. Because the worst thing is hesitation. So Pete made a decision after extinguishing the cigarette butt, and he decided to take a risk.
While Pete was pondering, he was in another part of Virginia, a place called Langley. In a conference room at CIA headquarters, a Caucasian woman with long brown hair was sorting through papers at a conference table. The entire conference room looked like it had just ended, and there were three people in suits chatting at the door of the room. Two of them were talking and laughing, and it didn't feel like they were talking about work. The other is John, who has a scar on his face and a somewhat lame leg. Judging from where he was standing, he was one of the two older men, tall and thin, with glasses. He was just listening quietly at the moment, occasionally glancing through the glass wall at the meeting room. At first glance, this action will make people misunderstand whether this guy is looking at the woman who is sorting out the information in the conference room, you must know that this woman is good if she looks and has a good figure. But in reality, this was not the case, John was looking at the picture projected by the projector that had not been turned off. It's a picture of two people, one of whom John knows, the man named Santos Alvarez who threatens to kill Bell Bray. He hadn't seen the other one, but he knew from the name under the photograph that it was Miguel Ellandes.
Perhaps sensing that John was watching from time to time, the lady in the conference room quickly turned off the projector and glanced at John. At the same time, the two old guys next to John seemed to finish talking, and one of them shook John's hand and left. The one who was with John looked at the conference room and said to John, "Did you see those two photos just now?" ”
"See." John is frank, "One I know, Santos Alvarez, has something to do with a business that we have recently been commissioned. I haven't seen the other one. ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, it's actually just one thing." The old guy next to John chuckled, "The one inside will deal with you for the rest of the matter." As he spoke, he glanced at John and suddenly lowered his voice, "Catherine Sono." Not very easy to get along with. But the commission you have at hand is actually serving here. ”
Moments later, the woman, Catherine Sono, walked out of the conference room with the documents in her arms. He first looked at the old guy beside John, smiled and said, "Mr. Lille, am I going to deal with this gentleman next?" ”
"Yes." The old fellow, known as Lille, nodded and introduced, "Vincent Lennon." The Iron Helmet is responsible for what you're going to do next. Everyone usually calls him John. ”
"Hello. Ms. Sono. John smiled politely and held out his hand.
"John..." Kathleen Sono shook John's hand and said, "I've heard of it. You seem to be famous in your profession. ”
"Huh. Now that I've heard of it, it's much easier. What are the specific requirements and tell John. He will do his best to cooperate with you. After Lear finished speaking, he looked at John and said to Catherine Sono, "I have something to do, I wish you success in your mission." After saying that, he left first.
The Catherine Sono looked at the old guy named Lille and said, "Are you interested in those two pictures?" Didn't old Lille tell you? ”
John glanced at the woman, in fact, as John, he didn't have a good impression of these intelligence people. There are things that don't matter directly, and they always like to use this kind of tentative question, including Lille, who has just left. So he spoke: "I am only interested in the situations and experiences of the people I am about to send out. As for your true purpose. I didn't care at all, and I wasn't curious. All you have to do is tell me what I have to know. ”
"Actually, it's nothing." Catherine Sono could hear the hint of dissatisfaction and unfriendliness in John's tone, "Let's go to my office and talk." With that, he walked out. And John had to follow.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the piranha shark team assembled on time. This time it was much better than the previous rally, and everyone arrived on time and was not late. On the way to the training camp, Evans, who was in charge of the training, announced his training plan to everyone in the car. From this point of view, regardless of his specific plans, it can at least be seen that this old guy should not be the first time to do this. And after really putting into training, Pete really understood why Donovan handed this over to Evans. Don't look at the old guy who is usually lazy and lazy, and will make bad jokes when he has nothing to do. The previous training was even more of a laggard, but he was definitely a master in the field of CQB (Close Combat). He not only made everyone clearly understand their respective positions, the areas responsible for guarding and what everyone should and should not do in various situations, and how to cooperate with each other to cover, but also taught a lot of tips and lessons learned in actual combat.
This training session was undoubtedly a lot more interesting than the last one, although the time was tight and the training pressure was very high. But the overall feeling is better than last time. Pete, in particular, after all, the previous training session was nothing for him, and even a bit of a waste of time, but this time not only taught him something particularly useful, but also allowed him to find his place in the team for the first time, and have a little sense of belonging. This also made the rest of the team a lot friendlier to Pete.
When the training week is over. The Man-Shark Squad did not disband and go home, but assembled at the headquarters to collect the weapons and equipment to be used in this mission from the warehouse, and inspected and packed the equipment, ready to send it to the destination first. During this time, Pete discovered another interesting thing. That's the old guy who also brought some private goods with him in these equipment.
