"Yes. That's right. Pete nodded.

"Good. Where did you go when you were in the army? The woman asked.

"It's all overseas. Afghanistan was also stationed in Iraq for a while. Pete replied.

The woman nodded, as if in acknowledgment of these answers, and then said, "Why go to Hermet?" This is a security company, do you want to continue such a dangerous life? You know a lot of people who stay away from such things for the rest of their lives after going through what you've been through. So I'm curious to know, why did you go to Hermet. ”

"It's a bit complicated." Pete said: "It's not a sentence or two that can be explained. ”

"It doesn't matter. You can speak slowly. The man said patiently.

Pete laughed for a moment and said, "If I had been a soldier, I would definitely not have gone to Hermet, let alone go, I would never have thought of it." But after being a soldier, especially after being a soldier for so many years, after six or seven years, I found that in the end, I was only good at what I learned in the army, and the people I knew and the circle of friends were also comrades-in-arms. And just before I was about to leave the service, my former commander, Brad Donovan, the one you had taken to another room, came to me and asked me if I would be interested in coming to Hermet. And then I came, and I didn't have anything else to do anyway. ”

"Don't you have any life plans?" The woman said: "Your retirement didn't happen suddenly, I think under normal circumstances, as you should always think about it, I mean what to do after leaving the army, right?" Like where to live, what to do, and so on. ”

"I've thought about it." Pete nodded and said, "I want to come here, it's Los Angeles." There are still some people I know here, and there are many Chinese. It doesn't get very cold in the winter. I want to find a job at random. To be honest, I'm confused, and I don't know if I'll be able to do those jobs well. After all, not only did I have no experience before, but I also didn't think about it carefully. I mean, I thought about how to do those jobs well. I also thought about going back to my birthplace and leaving here. But these are just options, and I just chose this option when I came to Hermet. ”

"So why did you choose Hermet? Is there anything special about this option you're talking about? The woman asked.

"Yes. Of course. Pete smiled and said, "First of all, I'm familiar. Donovan knows me, and I know him. We work together and trust each other and the advice he gave me was important to me. I don't know if you can understand this trust, but that's all I can say. Also, I am familiar with what Hermet is going to do. Most of the people here are from the Marine Corps, so the way things are done is relatively similar. So it's easier for me to accept, after all, it makes me feel at the bottom of my heart. Finally, you have a good salary, a stable place to live, don't worry about all the mess, just take care of yourself. That's important, and I like it. That's why I chose to come to Hermet. ”

The woman nodded at Pete's words, and after a slight pause, said, "This shows that you have been on missions since you joined Hermet. And it performs well. Everyone has a good opinion of you. ”

"Huh. That's great. Pete said, "That's the right choice for me, isn't it?" ”

The woman smiled in agreement and said, "Tell us about your experience in Romania." Do you remember why you got there? ”

"Yes. Of course I do. Pete said, "It hasn't been long. We caught a guy in Turkey, and only then went to Romania. ”

"Do you have faith?" The woman asked suddenly.

"What?" Pete didn't seem to react at once, after all, the previous question and the current one didn't match at all, but he was also vigilant in his heart, because this situation generally means that the main drama is about to start, and the previous nonsense is just to ease the antagonism and warm up. "Sorry, I didn't understand."

"Faith. Religious, political. There are certain creeds that belong only to individuals, are there? The woman asked.

"Uh... No. Pete said and laughed, "Do those in the army count?" If you count, that's the creed of the military. ”

The woman didn't say anything, but looked down at the paper in front of her and said, "Have you been to Romania before?" ”

"Nope. To be precise, I couldn't even point out the approximate location of Romania on the map before going there. Pete said.

"Do you know what's going on there now?" The woman asked suddenly.

"I didn't know." Pete said, "But Mr. John just told us something. I guess it's so that we don't have any resistance.,We can cooperate well.。。。 ”

"What did he tell you?" Before Pete could finish speaking, the woman continued.

"He said that there was attacked on the 22nd local time shortly after we left. The people there are dead. That's it. Pete said.

"Is that all?"

"Of course not." Pete frowned, as if he was unhappy with the way the other party spoke, "But that's to the effect." ”

"Do you know anyone in prison?" The woman didn't bother and continued to ask.

"Yes." Speaking of this, Pete sighed regretfully and said, "There are acquaintances." ”

Hearing Pete say that he knew, this woman became interested. I saw her speak, "Oh? Which one do you know here? How did you meet? ”

"I know a guy named Price here. He worked in a restaurant there. I knew him because he smoked. Pete said.

"Smoking?" The woman asked, puzzled, "Can you elaborate on that?" ”

"Of course." Pete agreed, and then added, "Smoking is not allowed there." I don't know who stipulates this, it seems to me a bit of, after all, a bunch of men, who have to stay there all day and are not allowed to smoke? And it will be very troublesome to go in and out once, and you can't go out to smoke at all. I think it's for this reason that the people there have a place dedicated to smoking, and they call it a place outside the law. It's a very small place, a place where you can smoke. ”

"Where is this place? I mean, where in that building you're in? The woman asked.

"On the second floor, against the exterior wall." Pete thought for a moment and said, "It should be said that after going from the first floor to the second floor, walk along the corridor to the right, until you reach the end of the corridor There is a door that looks like a safety exit. Inside that door is the place where you smoke. ”
