Write it off because you're dead? Put them away? Don't talk nonsense, in my own impression, the Russians are not so noble, never so noble. On the contrary, it is a good hand to engage in liquidation. Only if they are alive, they will not dare to mess around, after all, the Russians did not want to kill themselves with one shot when they caught themselves, they wanted to use themselves to achieve the goal of breaking the intelligence network. Then I can use this as a condition to exchange with them, to ensure that my wife and children can safely leave the Russian sphere of influence and go to a safe place. And even if the Russians kill themselves or leave themselves in prison for the rest of their lives, they will never think of them again, and their goals will be achieved.

And if they are successfully rescued by their own people, then it will be about the same. In the last phone call, he made it clear that as long as they can be rescued safely, they don't have to worry about themselves, and the Russians will not get anything from themselves, give their wives and children a new identity, become Americans, and let them live a good life there.

For the sake of these, he could not die. They must live, at least for a while, to know who they have fallen into in the end, and to make sure that they can survive well before they can make the final choice.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the pistol without bullets in his hand. At this moment, there was a shout from outside, "Our patience is limited. Your bullets are not infinite, give up resistance, and we can have a good talk. ”

Listening to such shouts, looking at the pistol in his hand and the mobile phone that had been burned by himself, Bordashev smiled helplessly, the scene he had imagined countless times finally appeared, and when he really appeared, he was much calmer than he imagined, as if everything was normal and went smoothly.

"Come out. We don't want to hurt you, you should know that, and you know there's no way you can escape. Give up resistance, we can talk about it all. The shouts came again.

Hearing this shout, Bordachev threw away the pistol that was already out of bullets in his hand, and after tidying up his clothes, he shouted outside: "Okay! I gave up resistance. ”

Hearing his response, the people outside let out a long sigh of relief. It was easy for them to take the cabin, all they had to do was shoot at the cabin and add a grenade. But everyone was given a death order to catch them alive and try to be as intact as possible, otherwise this guy wouldn't have had a chance to hide in this damn cabin.

The caller looked back at Achraf, and when he saw Ashraf nodding at him, he immediately said again: "Then please come out of the cabin." We don't shoot, so to make sure there is no misunderstanding, please step out and raise your hands away from your torso so that we can see them clearly. ”

"Okay. I'll be out right away. Baldachev didn't bother at the moment, and after saying yes, he walked to the door, and after glancing at his hands, he raised them above his head, "I'm coming out." I'm out. After shouting twice, he walked out with his hands raised.

"Okay." After seeing the guy come out, several lights shone on him.

"Onward, onward. Yes, go ahead, don't go too fast, walk slowly. The caller continued to shout.

Bordachev did so very cooperatively, and at the same time he said: "Can you not look at my face?" Get the damn lamp out of the way. ”

"Alright, please stop." The shouter stopped and gestured to the two people beside him, and then said, "Is there anyone else in the cabin?" ”

"I'm the only one." Baldachev said expressionlessly.

The caller did not believe it, and immediately motioned for the people who were already on the other side of the cabin to lean towards the cabin, and at the same time two of them quickly approached Baldachev, one on the left and one on the right, and after handcuffing him behind his back, he quickly searched his body, and then put him in front of Achraf.

Ashraf picked up the flashlight in his hand and shone it directly on Baldachev's face, then picked up the photo and compared it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he pulled Baldachev and said, "Follow me." ”

"Don't push that hard. I'll follow you. Baldachev said calmly: "I want to know my wife and children, have you caught them?" ”

Ashraf didn't let go of the hand holding him, and he didn't look back and said, "It's catching, they can't run far." Rest assured. ”

Bordashev did not gnaw again, and was soon taken to a place where he could park his car at the edge of the woods. Ivan, who had arrived in a hurry, was waiting here, and after seeing Bordachev, Ivan, as before, confirmed that the person in front of him was the person he wanted to arrest, and he smiled and said: "Please get in the car, Mr. Baldachev." We're going to be busy down there, right. Have you had dinner? ”

Ivan looked at Bordachev, who was escorted into the car, turned to look at Ashraf and said, "Did he say anything?" ”

"He only asked me if his wife and children were in our hands. Nothing was said other than this. Ashraf said, "I have already arranged for someone to chase after me." His wife and children floated down the river in a small wooden boat, not too fast. My men should be able to catch up with them soon. ”

Ivan nodded and turned to his car, but he didn't take a few steps when he suddenly turned around and said, "You immediately bring someone to support them." The Belarusians were unable to stop the people who had fought with you before, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not try to take the woman and the child away. ”

"Didn't you just say that they had broken through a checkpoint and left from the north of the city?" Ashraf said: "Didn't they do that explosion before?" ”

"Be careful." Ivan said: "Take someone with you." Everything this guy does is for them, it's very important to him, and if Baldachev is a door, then they are the key to open it. Go ahead, and be sure to find someone for me and bring them back as soon as possible. I would have the Belarusians send people to the banks of the river, to carry out a blockade, to prevent irrelevendance, especially the Americans from approaching there. Belarusians will contact you in a moment. ”

"Understood." Ashraf immediately beckoned the others to get into the car, and as soon as he got into the car, he took out his phone and contacted the man he had sent out to hunt down the small wooden boat not long ago.

Ivan got into the car and glanced at Bordachev, who was in the back seat, and smiled: "Can you know your full name?" ”

Baldachev glanced at Ivan and said, "You came to arrest me, will you not know what my name is?" ”

"I'd rather hear it from you. You know we've got to find something to talk about, or it's going to be awkward. Ivan said with a smile.

Baldachev sighed slightly and said, "The name doesn't matter, I don't think you have much interest." Didn't you say dinner? I'm still really hungry, and if you want to talk, you might as well wait until I'm full. ”

"No problem." Ivan immediately nodded, "What do you like to eat?" I'll have someone arrange it for you right away. But I know you're trying to stall for some time. Let's see if we can actually catch your wife and kids, right? Saying that, Ivan glanced at the time and said: "This route of yours is not a temporary idea, but you have rehearsed it many times in your mind before, and even you yourself may have tried it yourself, so the time it takes them to leave here along the river may be in these ten minutes, right?" ”

Baldachev looked at John and did not answer directly, but continued: "Dinner, let's go to dinner first." ”

At the same time that Baldachev was taken away, John took Pete, Thun, Matthew, and Kirtman downstream of the river. At first, there was a road for cars, but it didn't take long to walk all the way along the river.

At night, there is not enough light, and there are no street lights at all in such a place. This makes Pete and the others slower than they thought, at least if they are slower than the wooden boats that flow in the river. But fortunately they had not gone far in the woods by the river, and there was movement in front of them, and they saw the light first, which was the flash of a flashlight. Then I hear you and someone is talking. These people speak Russian, and needless to say, they know that these people are the same as himself who came to Bordachev's wife and children.

Pete, who was walking at the front of the group, raised his hand and stopped, then he made a gesture to John behind him after determining the direction in which the other party was moving, and whispered after John came to his side, "They seem to be arranging something." ”

John listened carefully to the words that came from time to time, and said, "Let's two lean over and take a look." ”

Pete nodded, and quietly touched it with his gun, the closer he got to the river, the louder the river became, and the rustle of the wind in the woods made it impossible to hear what those people were saying, but it also made Pete and their actions quiet. About fifty or sixty meters behind these people, it didn't alarm any of them.

John slowly crouched down, and then took a quick look at the people by the river. These people were busy pulling something, and someone was talking to someone with a walkie-talkie, and just as he wanted to hear what the other person was saying, Pete whispered to John, "There are people on the other side of the river, too." ”

John immediately looked at the opposite bank, and saw that there were also figures on the opposite bank, and there were also people with flashlights.

"What are they doing?" Pete looked at the humanity on both sides of the strait: "Are they going to intercept here?" ”

John looked at the river and the surroundings, and what Pete said was indeed possible. The river is not wide and it is a bend, and it seems that the river is also very slow, so if you want to intercept the river, this is indeed a good place. But isn't this a bit stupid? Won't they take a boat from somewhere and launch it and catch up? Isn't there just this wooden boat in this place? And it's too slow. How long has it been? Hasn't that boat drifted here yet?

Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden movement on the river to the south, and there was a sound of a motor, and a small speedboat drove over, and quickly slowed down as it approached. Then I heard someone on the boat shouting to the people on the shore.

John immediately said after hearing the other party's shouting: "The people on the boat are shouting that the ship is coming, that woman has a gun, everyone be careful." ”

Pete glanced at John and was about to speak, but he heard a few words from the people on the shore, and John said, "He said that the woman ran out of bullets, and she had all been shot before, so don't worry." ”

"So they caught up with them before, but were beaten back by this woman?" Pete asked.

"I think so." John whispered, "It seems that this woman is not so easy to deal with. ”

"So what do we do?" Pete asked.

John looked left and right and said, "Ready to do it." Since we have encountered it, we will solve it here, and we don't have time to look for other opportunities. ”

"Understood." Pete replied and said, "Then I'll call the others up." ”

"No, I'll go back with you." John said, "Let's slowly retreat. ”

After returning to the others, John immediately said, "We're going to do it here, and they're going to intercept that wooden boat in this place." ”

"Do you want to do it right away?" Thun asked.

"When the woman and the child appear, we will shoot them as soon as they show up and take the woman and the child ashore and get out of here." After John finished speaking, he looked at Curtman and said, "You stay behind." One is to help me look behind me, and the second is to ask your people to help us see the route we can get out of here, and we have to leave this place as soon as we get someone. ”

"Okay, I understand." But as they agreed, John looked at Pete and the three of them, "The people on this side and on the other side should be killed at the same time." Which of the three of you will be responsible for taking out the person on the other side? ”

Pete and the other two looked at each other, but no one spoke. It's not a matter of guts, but in such a situation, it's very difficult to hit someone across a river and on the other side, it's easy to pull the trigger, but to hit...

"Just Pete." Seeing that no one was gnawing, John directly designated: "Pete, you are responsible for dealing with the people on the other side of the river." ”

"Okay... All right. Pete reluctantly agreed.

"Don't be nervous, according to my judgment, there are probably only two people on the other side, and these two people are also holding flashlights, and they are standing very close, so they will hit the place where the flashlight is shining, and they should be able to hit." As he spoke, he handed the rifle he was using to Pete and said, "With my one, with a scope, I got it from the gun of a guy who was killed."

Pete took the gun and tried it, and handed the one he had in his hand to John. John took the gun and looked at the others and said, "The others, Thun, you are responsible for taking out the people who are close to our side of the shore." Matthew, you're in charge of that speedboat. I'm in charge of the round-trip support. Do you understand everything? ”
