Chapter 57: The Return

"Wow... Erik's eyes widened unconsciously when he heard Miller's words, and he let out an exclamation. "I'm going to check our insides, right? Clandestine? ”

"What did Lille tell you?" Miller waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's too late to regret it now." ”

"Regret?!" Eric frowned and said, "As long as you dare to let me do it, why should I regret it?" As long as you don't regret it. ”

Miller smiled and said, "Good. I've got an office for you, would you like to check it out? You'll be called back. Nominally, to coordinate cooperation between us and the security company. With that, he stood up, "Come on, let's go and see." It's not far from me. ”

Three days later, it was the fifth day after Pitt successfully killed Liu Qigang. Sheltered from San Francisco and on vacation, Pete and Parker finally receive new instructions.

During these five days, the two men walked around the street and ate at different restaurants every day. Although I am sometimes idle, I have been happy these days.

The new instructions came, of course, by telephone. When the phone rang, Pete and Parker had just had dinner, and were drinking tea and smoking cigarettes on the balcony on the second floor.

Hearing the phone ringing, Parker immediately extinguishes the cigarette butt. Pete saw the call coming and stood up consciously, ready to avoid it for a while. I saw Parker quickly waved his hand at Pete and then connected the phone after signaling not to use it, and the voice from the other side was still the person who had spoken to him on the phone before, only to hear this After confirming that it was Parker, he immediately spoke: "Inform you of two things." One, you can get out of there and go on with your lives. Two, the matter should have been handed over to the FBI by now. They are working the investigation, so when you go back, you won't have any missions in the near future, not only will there be no missions, but the communication will be interrupted, including the communication between you. Contact can only be restarted unless there is an important situation. It is not until new instructions are given that it will be restored depending on the situation. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Parker immediately said, "Did they find something?" ”

"Not at the moment." The man on the other side of the conversation: "Although you have left some traces, they do not regard you as the first target for searching. ”

"Who's that? The people who work with us? Parker said.

"Yes. But they couldn't find anything. And they all withdrew. And it has been confirmed that they have all returned to China. Include your communications liaison. "It's humane.

Hearing that Thomas had returned home safely, he breathed a long sigh of relief, although it was expected. "Shall we leave right away, then?"

"Yes. Leave immediately. The man said very simply, "Don't drive the car." The car keys and the gun were left on the table in the house, and someone would come and pick them up. Inform me before departure and after arrival. ”

"Good. Got it. After hearing Parker's clarity, the other party hung up the phone. Parker picked up the ashtray and returned to the house. After glancing at the slightly messy room, he said, "Hurry up and clean up." What others have left us cleanly cannot be returned dirty. After saying that, he looked at Pete and said, "The gun and car keys are on the table." We're going to go back and keep putting on the show. ”

Pete smiled and said, "Then your plan to go home and get your wife will fall through again." ”

Parker smiled and emptied the ashtray into the trash and said, "I didn't expect it to happen for a long time." It would be nice to have a chance for me to go back and see. ”

"There will be a chance. There will definitely be a chance. Pete immediately started to clean up. Parker, on the other hand, shook his head slightly, as if he didn't quite agree.

That night, they disguised themselves again and took a flight out of San Francisco and returned to Washington in the middle of the night. After getting off the plane, the two did not go together again, but left the airport separately. Parker left without he, while Pete spent the night at a nearby hotel, returning to Maclean's after dawn.

Returning to his place of residence, although he has not been away for a long time, means very different to Pete. Compared with my previous confusion, I am much more determined now. Especially getting along with Parker these days has made him know that there are many people who are actually more difficult than him, such as Parker is one of them.

When he came back this time, he did not contact Dr. Fung as usual. Because Parker had an explanation before boarding. During this time, don't contact casually, just quietly play your role. So after returning to the house, Pete went out after a brief tidying up, and as is customary, he was going to have lunch, then visit his teammates, and finally prepare to spend the afternoon in Helmet's gym.

When he arrived at the hospital, he was only in the group, with old fellows Evans and Donovan. And Evans is still in a napping state. Only Donovan sat on the edge of his bed, watching the TV in the hospital room turned to mute.

"Good afternoon, sir." As he spoke, he saluted Donovan.

Donovan was overjoyed to see Pete arrive. He stood up and said, "Good afternoon, master." Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a week. ”

Pete knew that someone was going to ask the question, and when he got back, he had already thought about it, so he said, "Went to see some of my friends." I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I went to meet on vacation. ”

"Then your vacation is much better than ours." Donovan sighed and sat back on the bed: "It's so boring here. ”

Pete pointed to Donovan's arm and said, "How's your recovery?" Can't you go home and recuperate? ”

"Almost, I should be able to go home in the next few days." After saying that, he looked at Evans and said, "This old guy is recovering well, but he still has to lie here for a while." I'm worried that we're all gone and he's bored alone. ”

"Does he have no family?" Pete asked, looking at Donovan.

"Yes." Donovan nodded and lowered his voice: "There is a wife who is just an ex-wife, and a daughter who follows his ex-wife." He is only responsible for giving alimony and living the life he wants. ”

Pete nodded and said, "Did you mention that to him?" ”

Donovan glanced at Pete, and he naturally knew what Pete was talking about. He motioned to Pete and said, "Let's go out for a cigarette, I'm going to suffocate." Maurice and Matt were idle as long as they got better, and when they heard that there were some beautiful nurses upstairs, they probably went to talk to people again. ”
