Chapter Eighty-Nine: Weakness of Heart

John chuckled and said, "We have to play to our strengths." In fact, sometimes we forget our strengths while magnifying the strengths of our opponents. And now all we have to do is sneak into Art, and in the case of small-scale infiltration and full reconnaissance, it should not be us who I want to be afraid and worried about. ”

John's words clearly indicate that he already had a plan and method of action. This made Donovan feel a lot better. So he didn't say anything more and went back to the tent, and called Pete out alone, who was busy filling his stomach.

John was not present, and he walked over to Pete as he walked out of the tent. There are some things he shouldn't have said, so all he has to do now is drink some wine and eat his fill.

Pete wasn't as calm as he appeared to be, or he wasn't really busy eating. In fact, he was very uneasy in his heart, and the reason for his uneasiness was very simple, in fact, he was a little uneasy because he had stolen Eric's secret. Although he was well prepared and sure that he was doing a clean job, this was the first time he had done such a thing, so he was still a little worried. Especially after Tucker appeared, he knew that these people were not so much here to pick up people, but to say that they were here to receive information, which was more accurate. So this guy named Tucker will definitely double-check that memory card, including the contents inside. This inevitably made Pete even more nervous, for fear that something would go wrong and show his feet.

And when Donovan called him out alone, he couldn't help but think about the bad in his heart at first. But after seeing John walk straight past him as if he was fine, Pete quickly stabilized his emotions and tried to warn himself over and over again not to scare himself.

After stepping out of the tent, Pete quickly looked around. What he wanted to see most was Tucker to see if the guy had left with Eric. As long as they leave, everything must be over. No one will ever doubt the possibility of this, and no one will ever think about it in the future. So after looking around and not seeing Tucker, Pete immediately looked at Donovan with a strange look, "What's wrong, sir?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Uh... Well... Donovan looked a little embarrassed, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I have something to tell you." Donovan looked at Pete with a puzzled face, and after thinking about it again, he said, "This time I... Possible.. No, it's not possible, I can't go to Abkhazia, I mean I can't go with you. John asked me to evacuate with the wounded, I wanted to stay, however, he did not allow me to do so... So I think ... I don't know what to say ... I don't think I can leave you behind, because ... Because if I also left. You're the only one left here, I mean, the 009 squad. But I'm sorry, John didn't agree with you to leave with me because of manpower issues. That means I can't be with you, and I can't let you leave with me ... I know you wouldn't have stood up if I hadn't stood up, maybe you're already waiting for the car to leave here and get ready to go home... But now the reason for you to take the risk is gone, and you continue to take the risk, which makes me think... Felt.. ”

"Think you've betrayed me?" Pete saw that Donovan couldn't talk anymore and spoke.

This sentence obviously made Donovan feel very harsh, but he did think so, so while feeling harsh, it also made him slightly relieved that he didn't let himself say it.

Pete suddenly smiled and said, "No kidding. The wounded should have been sent away. I should also go to Abkhazia. Saying that, Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, "At first, it was indeed as you said, I saw that you stood up, so I also stood up." But then I thought that I came back alive today because someone was able to save us at great risk when we were in danger. Today we have a lot to lose ... Pete said, pointing to those who were also preparing to leave the compound and had returned with them without responding to John's call, and continued, "They have lost a lot. So I think I should save the people who are still in Abkhazia. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I'll have to go. Especially after John said that, if I don't go, I think I'll feel guilty later. The scariest thing for me is not being condemned by others, but being myself. I don't want that. So sir, you don't have to blame yourself at all. That's what I'm supposed to do, that's all. That's really all. ”

Pete's words made Donovan breathe a sigh of relief. He believed that Pete was telling the truth, and from what he knew about him when he served with Pete, Pete didn't say pretty things, but really thought so. Otherwise, he would not have had a good reputation in a group that was stationed overseas and often had to carry out combat missions, let alone let himself know him.

However, Donovan still looked at Pete and said, "Really? I mean, you really think so? ”

"Of course." Pete put away his smile and said with obvious puzzlement: "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"No, no, no." Donovan waved his hand and said, "No problem." Now it's me who has the problem. Not you. After saying that, he opened his right arm, hugged Pete and said, "I can tell John again to let you leave here with me." ”

"Nope. Sir. Pete shook his head and said, "I want to go there." And I'm very persistent. I don't think we're going to have the trouble we had anymore. I don't think Mr. John is a man who can fall twice in a pit. ”

"If you insist." Donovan nodded helplessly, "Be careful, brother." With that, he patted Pete on the back.

Pete patted Donovan on the back and said, "I will." After saying that, he looked to the sides and said, "Eric was taken away?" ”

"Of course. Just left. How? Do you want to say goodbye to him? Donovan said half-jokingly.

Pete hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see him again." Several times before, when I was running for my life with him on my back, I wanted to throw him away and run by myself. I just wanted to know if he actually left alive. All in all, we have accomplished our task. Although the loss is so great ... But it was not in vain. Pete glanced at Donovan and said, "What about Jeff?" Can we still find him? ”

Speaking of Jeff, Donovan also put away his jokes. Jeff's body was still in the mountains. Although the Russians are mostly not interested in the dead. But it's hard to say, maybe they'll take these special corpses away, like Jeff's and other mercenaries, including Steve's.
