Chapter 20: Worry

Hearing Ochoa say this, everyone looked at each other, only the old guy Evans said, "It seems that our work this time is not easy." ”

"What? Scared? Donovan looked at Evans.

"Nope." Evans pouted, "Just don't show up something that won't make my gun move." ”

"Not really." Ochoa chuckled and said, "There's no need to do that, it's not a battlefield, and their opponents don't have tanks and armored vehicles." But trust me, it's more complicated than you can imagine. As he spoke, he looked at Donovan, "I know you've been to terrible places. But this is completely different. We are going to take several ordinary people through the market like this, and it is difficult to say what kind of situation we will encounter. ”

"What about the others? What do you think? Tell me what you have in mind. Donovan nodded and looked at the others, "Maurice, Matt." How are you two? ”

Morris and Matt looked at each other, Matt didn't speak, and Morris said, "It's like Uncle said, it's not easy to do." ”

Pete looked at the two, and it was clear that Morris was the eldest of the two. Matt has always looked at this horse. Donovan obviously knew this, and after Morris answered, he didn't ask Matt again, but immediately looked at Avery and Jeff, "What about the two of you?" ”

"I think we... Avery said as he looked at the others, "We might have to get ready. ”

"Jeff, what about you?" Donovan continued.

"I just think, is our team too small?" Jeff said.

Donovan finally looked at Pete with an expressionless face and said, "So master, what else do you have to say now?" ”

In fact, before Donovan could ask a question, Pete had thought about what he was going to say. Because he had already sensed that Donovan had already made up his mind to do it, and he would do whatever everyone said. And the situation about the mission that Donovan said before should be concealed, otherwise with the information he just said combined with what Ochoa said, this is indeed sending him to death. So Donovan must have known something else, and it was good for him to complete the mission.

So Pete said, "I don't feel anything special. I'm thinking more about our weapons and equipment, and about the division of labor between them. After all, I'm a newcomer, and I haven't carried out a mission with you before, and I haven't even practiced with you to simulate actual combat. So... What I want to say is, should we do something about it? At least let me know where I should stand, which direction I should be responsible for, what to do or who to stand with if something happens. ”

Donovan was very satisfied with Pete's answer, because although Pete didn't say it explicitly, he actually told Donovan that he didn't have too many concerns about the task itself, and cared more about the specific ways and means later. This is tantamount to saying that you are in a state.

So Donovan's expression softened a little after hearing Pete's answer, and he sighed and said, "Actually, I already received the task while you were still on vacation. That said, it took me almost two days to think about it. My decision was that we had to do it. Donovan glanced around the crowd, "To tell you the truth, I can say no." John gave me leeway in this regard. But I don't want that. Guys, I don't need to say anything. We didn't do a good job before. There are some things I don't want to say too clearly, because it would be embarrassing and even hurtful. Suffice it to say that if we want this team to survive, then we have no way out. As he spoke, he took out the document John had given him, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Listen to the following, maybe you will feel better." The man we want to protect is named Bear Bray. Operates a construction engineering company. We are not alone in this mission. The one we want to protect has a friend in the local area. With that, he looked at Ochoa and said, "Will the governor of Chihuahua be of some use?" ”

Ochoa's reaction to hearing this news was a bit peculiar, he didn't seem to see hope like the others. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "Big Bird, boss." If the governor had worked, Juarez wouldn't be what he is now. In other words, JuΓ‘rez doesn't belong to a politician or a politician, it belongs to the locals and even to the gangs and drug cartels. A governor simply doesn't make much of a difference. ”

"That's not completely useless, is it?" Donovan asked rhetorically and continued: "And this matter itself is related to the governor's vital interests, do you think it will be useless?" At least he can help us with the problem of crossing the border with a large number of guns and ammunition. ”

"What? Is this one we want to protect talking business with this governor? Ochoa asked.

"Or else? Do you really invest in the drug business? Donovan smiled.

Ochoa heard Donovan say this, thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, the situation will be much better." Don't trust the locals, though. I mean, security, if the governor sends in a bunch of police or something. It's best not to expect or trust them too much. ”

"Hmm. I understand that. Donovan nodded and said, "In addition, the one we want to protect cannot be regarded as a completely foreign person. This man had a wife, and she was from Chihuahua. The home is not far from Juarez. So there are some local industries where we can get some help from the locals. ”

Ochoa shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe what I said is not clear enough. Actually, this is not as effective as the name of the governor. Unless the family of this person's wife is very powerful in the local area, it is useless. As he spoke, he adjusted his sitting posture and said quite seriously: "Now it's not so much about the friend or relationship we want to protect that person we want to protect, but rather telling us who this person is offending against." Is there any information on it? ”

"Santos Álvarez." Donovan said immediately.

Hearing this name, Ochoa immediately frowned, it was not a worry, but more like a problem and a clueless. "Santos Alvarez?"

"Yes. What do you think? Ever heard of it? Donovan asked.

"Nope." Ochoa shook his head after thinking about it. "Maybe I've been away from Mexico for many years. There are some emerging forces that I don't know about. As he spoke, he looked at Donovan and said, "Is this his real name?" ”

"As far as I know, yes." Donovan nodded, "And this man isn't a gangster or a drug lord. According to the information, this man is a businessman. We are with Bell Bray, whom we want to protect. All of them are engaged in construction work. ”

"That's right... Ochoa muttered a sentence and looked at Donovan and said, "I can ask my friend." Maybe they know something about this man. ”
