Chapter XIX Decisions
Pete looked at the two of them, the cousin didn't look much alike, one of them had a sloppy beard, and the other was the complete opposite, dressed very neatly and very capable.
After the introduction, Evans asked Pete to sit down next to him and said, "Everybody. I've told you about my plans before, and now that Pete is sure to be able to act with us, do you have any other worries or suggestions? ”
The guy named Barnes looked at Pete and said, "I still wonder if it's enough for just the two of you?" ”
"Honestly, Mr. Barnes." Pete looked at Barnes and said, "I'll have to go to the scene to see it before I can tell you." But as long as it's not too unlucky, I think it's enough. I think you all have good skills, as long as we are fully prepared, we dare not say anything else, and it should be completely okay for everyone to get out of the way. ”
Seeing Pete say this, Evans immediately said, "It should be fine." The gun I'm ready. M200 sniper rifle, with self-defense is the ump45 submachine gun, I modified the magazine to double the ammunition. I myself with the M4A1 carbine. The rest of the telescopes are all ready. ”
"Good." Pete nodded and said, "If everyone agrees, then the two of us can set off today." Weapons can be brought to us by others at the right time. After that, he and the other people who were escorting the goods and went to the place of trading. ”
"That's fine." Evans looked at the others and said, "If you have anything else to say, hurry up now." ”
Monterey, who was also an employee of Helmet, said: "What if the police come? Maybe it's a bit big this time. Those Mexicans are fighting among themselves again, and this news cannot be known only to us. What if their opponents leak information about these transactions to the police on the other side of the border? What should we do when we meet them? ”
Pete looked at Evans when he heard this question, and after looking at Evans, Pete smiled and said, "I don't have a share in this business, I'm just here to help, but there is one thing I want to say, there, when we ambushed there with guns, and then you all showed up there with guns and a truckload of goods in tow... I think all I can think about is who wants to take something without paying, so I have to ask if the gun in my hand is okay, right? Without waiting for the others to answer, Pete continued: "We didn't cooperate with the police to fight smuggling, did we?" Didn't all of you here find out today that what you did was illegal? Seeing that everyone was silent, Pete continued: "So when they come, I and everyone here need to care if it's the police or the bastards who are going to rob us?" As long as they don't pay, they're enemies, it's that simple, isn't it? ”
Pete's words caused the men to look at each other, only to see Barnes laugh first and say, "Yes, that's how it should be." After saying that, he looked at the two cousins and said, "What do you say now?" ”
Evans looked at them as well and said, "If you're really worried it's too late to quit now." ”
The cousin glanced at each other and the bearded guy opened his mouth and said, "That's what we're waiting for, we're not afraid of the police, no one is afraid." What we're worried about is that those of us who don't have the same mind, who don't think the same way, will kill us. Saying that, the guy smiled and said, "Since everyone is now unified, then we have nothing to say." Like Pete said, whoever comes is the same, him. ”
"That's right! him. Barnes laughed in agreement. Then Monterey of Hermet stood up and held out his hand, saying, "Then we will settle it." ”
"It's settled." After everyone had spoken, they also stood up, each stretching out their hands and pressing them together.
"Then Pete and I are ready to go." Evans glanced at Pete, and after seeing Pete nod, he looked at Barnes and said, "You bring me and Pete's things in two days." After Barnes nodded in understanding, Evans looked at the other three and said, "The three of you will be responsible for bringing the goods over at the agreed time." Remember to coordinate with Barnes on the way and take him with you. ”
"Okay. No problem. Monterrey nodded.
"That's it." Evans said: "I repeat, this is a very important deal for us, no matter who comes, as long as they don't give money. All right? Be careful, bring everything you should bring, don't drink alcohol or smoke marijuana on the road, and when you make money, you can toss yourself as much as you want, but before these have to be prohibited, if you can't do it, quit, don't harm others and yourself. ”
The men just looked at each other and didn't say anything, while Evans said, "If you don't speak, I'll assume that you all agree." May I? ”
After seeing each of these people nodding, Evans said, "Then it's decided." Don't let something inexplicable delay your business. That's it, let's go our separate ways. ”
After leaving the fast-food restaurant, Pete did not return home, but followed Evans to his residence. Don't look at this old guy's unkemptness, but the house he lives in is a two-story building with a single door and a single courtyard. And the house is also very clean, to be precise, there is nothing, and the furnishings are simple to the extreme.
After entering the room, Pete sat down on the sofa in the living room, while Evans entered the other rooms, changed his clothes, and combed his hair and beard, and finally changed his clothes and carried a large bag to Pete and said, "How is it, do you feel like you have regained your previous style?" ”
Pete glanced at him and pointed to Evans' stomach with a smile and said, "It's just that the belly is a lot bigger than before." ”
"Okay. It seems that there is no going back. Evans sighed and grabbed a baseball cap and snapped it to his head, "Let's go." Go straight to the airport. ”
"I'm fine, I'm ready to go." Pete followed Evans out of his house. Later that evening, a taxi dropped Pete and Evans off at a place called Mesquite, close to the Mexican border.
"We're going to spend the night in this city tonight." Evans stretched as he spoke.
"Do you trade like this every time? I mean location. Pete asked.
"Yes." Evans said as he walked over to a motel on the side of the road, "I'll rent a car here and leave for the border tomorrow morning after breakfast." As he spoke, he stopped and pointed south, "Do you know where you crossed the border to the south?" ”
