Chapter 80: Speeding up
Good. Tucker said as he sat down at the table, and after taking the headset from Anne, he said, "When will Pete be back?" ”
"We'll have to wait. It's still early. Anne said as she looked at the time, "Thomas is going to pick up Pete's shift, and Thomas has been working the night shift lately. ”
Tucker sighed slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then Thomas shouldn't have played a big role." ”
"It's time. Do you want to call him? Anne asked.
"Well, dial the phone." While Tucker confirmed, Anne called the phone, and Thomas's side was quick to respond, answering the phone after it rang.
"Is it convenient to speak?" Tucker didn't need to introduce himself, he just asked.
"Convenient. Now I'm in my room. Thomas said immediately.
"Good. I want to know two things, first, have you found anything these days? Tucker asked.
"Nope." Thomas was quick to say, "Actually, I don't see anyone at work, except for my other colleagues. But my colleague is normal, and I can see that the man is here to mess around. ”
Tucker sighed slightly disappointed and said, "Listen, pay more attention to Adar Hassan." Remember this guy? ”
"Yes. I remember his profile. He's on my side. Thomas replied immediately.
"Good. Keep an eye on him if you have the chance. Or get to know him a little from the side. See what I mean? Tucker Road.
"Understood." Thomas answered immediately and hung up. After Tucker dropped the headset, he looked at Anne and said, "Is there any news from Wells?" ”
"Nope." Anne said, "You haven't been in touch with us since you entered there. ”
"Okay." Tucker waved his hand and said, "Looks like we've been monitoring nothing lately, right?" ”
"So to speak. Nothing has happened in the past few days. Anne said.
Tucker nodded, stood up, walked around the room twice, and said, "We're running out of time. This may be too conservative. What do you think? ”
Anne looked at Tucker and said, "I don't know what it means that there is not much time, but Eric has been emphasizing that we have to be careful. ”
Tucker frowned, not because he had any problem with Eric's approach, but because Annie's words reminded him that the Security Service was just watching. There is no definite news on Eric's side, that is, he really shouldn't be too anxious before he is sure that the FBI will act as a shield.
"Good. Then wait for now. Tucker said, "I'm going to get some rest, and I'll be notified when Pete gets back to the apartment." ”
"Okay." After you said yes, he took Tucker to another room, pointed to the couch in the room, and said, "Need I get you a cup of coffee or something?" ”
"Okay. Thank you. Tucker sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone and dialed Eric.
At the moment, Eric was still drinking wine and bragging with a woman at the place designated by Huber. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Tucker's call, knowing that he hadn't talked to a strange woman like this for a long time. However, this guy still knows what he should do, so after apologetic to this one, he stepped aside and answered the phone.
"How's the talk?" Tucker asked immediately.
"I think it works well." Eric said, "Now this FBI group should be getting together and talking about what to do?" ”
"Did you make it all clear?" Tucker asked.
"It's all clear. I shared the information with them and made it clear to them. The credit goes to them for helping us to put the whole situation in order, and try not to interfere in our internal affairs. Eric said.
"He agreed? I mean, the FBI agreed? Tucker then asked.
"I think Huber, the people from the FBI who I have been in direct contact with, must be fine, I just said, they should be discussing, Huber took the information I gave him and our appeal to discuss, I don't think it's a big problem. That's a very tempting thing for them. Eric said.
Tucker chuckled and said, "Don't get complacent too soon. They can't be so happy to agree, and they will definitely bargain with you. You know where our bottom line is, right? ”
"Of course." Eric said, "Don't worry. Huber isn't a microphone, he's an ambitious guy, he won't let people mess with his play, maybe this guy can help me do it without me fighting. ”
"That's for the best." Tucker said, "If there's good news, let me know immediately." I'm going to do some decoration here. ”
"You want them to be more proactive?" Eric asked.
"Of course." Tucker said, "We're ready. It's like a group of hunters who have surrounded a hill. Although I don't know exactly which haystack or hole in the mountains the prey or those prey I want to hide in, as long as you drive the hounds and drive them to an area, you can quickly get a reward. So I want to make progress as quickly as possible and push the other side into a dead end, so that we can really get it. ”
"Okay." Eric agreed, "I think we should take our time, but what you say makes sense." But you'll have to wait for news from me here, and now that we've been hooked up with the FBI, we have to take advantage of this cooperation, and we can't be too egotistical. ”
"That's what I'm calling for. Get them to come up with a plan or request as soon as possible. As long as they can achieve their goals, and they can do it as soon as possible. Tucker Road.
"I understand." Eric said while holding the phone and glancing at his watch, "Today, there will definitely be results today." I think the FBI should be more impatient. ”
"I wish they were." Tucker sighed slightly, "Notify me when there's news, by the way, if necessary, I can sit down face-to-face with that FBI friend of yours and discuss what to do, provided that he will be the one in charge." Just like you and me. ”
"Yes." Eric laughed when he heard Tucker say this, "Don't worry, I said that this guy is not messing around in the FBI, but an ambitious guy." He's definitely going to be the one in charge. ”
"That's all. I've got to take a break, and then I've got to talk to Pete. Wait for your news. Tucker hung up.
About an hour later, when Eric had drunk enough to get up and go out for a walk. Huber walked in with a heavy face.
