Chapter 20: Pablo's Manor

John slowly got up from the ground, first looking back and motioning for Bill and I to put our guns down. Then he turned back to Pablo and said, "You also brought a doctor?" Or is your doctor still alive? ”

"There were people in the team who answered me last night, but they must have left us like many others. But the good thing is that there is still one. Pablo said and looked at the woman beside him, "This is my sister, Miranda." If it weren't for these conflicts, she would have worked as a doctor in some hospital in a big city. ”

We all looked at this woman in camouflage, and saw that he was much younger than Pablo, and he looked more like a European than Pablo, and belonged to the kind of beauty with a strong Latin flavor. Judging by her expression, she was not scared by the conflict and appeared calm. Maybe it's because I've been through this too much, but I'm still surprised.

"Please come with me." The woman, Miranda, walked up to Walker.

Walker looked at John, and after seeing John nod at him, he followed Miranda with the help of the oil bottle.

Seeing that the situation had eased, Pablo pointed to Códobba, who was still lying on the ground, and looked at John, "So, is it okay?" ”

John glanced at Códobá, who was still unconscious, looked at Pablo and said, "I also have some questions for you." ”

Hearing John say this, Pablo glanced at the butler. Mr. Butler immediately understood, beckoned two men over, and carried Córdoba out.

"Let's get in the car first. I don't want to stay here for even a second now. Pablo said as he walked to a buggy in the middle of the convoy with the butler's help, while John and I followed.

Before getting on the bus, we put Bill's body on the car Walker's car they were going to be in. Then John and I boarded Pablo's car.

The convoy quickly set off for the north. There was silence for about five minutes before Pablo spoke first.

"I don't know the names of you two yet." Pablo looked at John and then at me.

John smiled and said, "Call me John." His name is Gypsy. It doesn't matter if we name us, maybe tomorrow we'll die somewhere. So we don't need to be remembered. And if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

"Okay. Mr. John. I'm talking about this wizard. In your opinion, how is this wizard? Pablo asked.

Hearing this question, John looked out the window and suddenly smiled, "Are you trying to kill him as soon as possible?" ”

"Don't you want to?" Pablo asked rhetorically.

John glanced back at him, "I think you should find out who betrayed you first." You don't have to think that it will be our people or those who want to unite with you who will betray you. While it is true that the FARC hates and has a strong presence in Colombia, it is not enough to endanger and control the people there who have it. ”

Pablo listened to John's words and nodded, "I understand. The FARC is nothing in front of the powerful United States, otherwise mercenaries would not have been sent to do this. After speaking, he sighed and continued: "I will find out the traitor within us as soon as possible, and there will be eyebrows in the next few days." ”

Hearing Pablo say this, not only did John look at him deeply, but I also re-examined this important leader of the Self-Defense Army, who was still in disarray. Because his words show that he still has control over his power, and this control has not been lost because he was captured and his strength was severely damaged.

"Since you say so. I can also tell you that in fact, the cycle of the assignment we received was half a year. In other words, it's not just about rescuing you, it's also about helping you fight your enemies. John didn't wait for Pablo to speak, "But Sweis, who is the liaison, died in battle last night, and he should have arranged what we should do and what we should do later. But he's gone, so it's uncertain whether the next mission will continue, or if those who want to support you against the FARC will still be bullish on you. So."

Before John could finish speaking, Pablo was the first to speak, "So I should show my worth as soon as possible." Restore confidence to those in your country who have doubts about me. ”

"Huh." John listened to Pablo's words and smiled slightly, "That's your business." And my business has to wait for my people and me to confirm. ”

"So what if the original plan remains unchanged? I mean, you're still going to stay here for the first half of the year to help me fight against the FARC? Pablo asked eagerly.

John leaned back into the back of his chair, "If that's the case." You don't have to ask these questions. I'll avenge those two of my teammates. ”

"Good." Pablo was so pleased with John's answer that he clapped his hands and said, "You can contact your people when you get to rest." And I'll find out that traitor as soon as I can. ”

John listened to Pablo's words and let out a long sigh and said, "If nothing else, I want to sleep for a while." ”

I watched John close his eyes and start resting, and then at Pablo, who was about to speak, and I found a position where I felt comfortable and prepared for sleep. I'm tired at the moment, and the point is that the feeling of danger that arose from entering Pablo's village last night is fading now. This allowed me to relax quickly, and as I relaxed, the tiredness set in quickly, and soon I fell asleep.

I slept so deeply that I didn't wake up until the convoy stopped. It was John who woke me up. When I opened my eyes and looked out of the car, I realized that it was almost evening.

I stepped out of the car, maybe because I was too tired yesterday and I was sleeping in the car, and now I feel a sore back. I looked around and the convoy was parked in a large yard. The compound is on a high ground, and at the highest point of the high ground is a large house with a yellow roof and white walls. Underneath this plateau is a village, which is like someone's manor.

"Where is this?" I looked at John and asked.

John looked at me and shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't know either. At this moment, I got out of the car early, and Pablo, who was standing in front of the car, said: "This is my territory, my family's estate. He waved to us and motioned for us to follow him.

I looked at John, who motioned for me to follow and walked straight to the big house. Pablo, with the help of his butler, was soon overtaken by John. Pablo looked at John and spoke to him, and he obviously didn't want too many people to hear them, because he spoke in a low voice, while John just listened to him and didn't speak.

And I'm not interested in knowing what they're planning, I'm just here to get money to fight, and I don't care who to calculate or who to fight, and how to fight, I'll have to wait until I know who to fight.

As I walked, I observed the manor, which at first glance seemed peaceful and cozy, but in fact there were many open and secret posts here. In the village below, there are a number of apparently armed men patrolling, and on the way to the large houses, lookout posts and machine-gun emplacements are set up in open sights.

On the periphery of the big house is a fence, above the fence is a ring of barbed wire, looking at the posture is estimated to be electrified, and inside the fence there is a watchtower on the perimeter that can be seen. There are also armed men on the rooftop platforms of the big houses who are keeping sentry. It doesn't seem to me like a dwelling, it's more like a prison.

As he was about to enter the big house, John turned back to me and said, "I'm going to get in touch with the country." You go in first and rest. I'll be coming to you soon. With that, John was led by Mr. Butler and prepared to leave.

"Where's Walker?" I asked.

"He's gone to heal his wounds." Pablo looked at me and said, "Don't worry, my sister will take care of him." Then he looked inside the room and said, "Then I think what we should do now is to eat something." Please come with me, we're hurrying, I'll have to meet some people later, it's an important meeting, it's probably going to be very interesting, so I'm going to get ready. ”

I didn't quite understand what Pablo meant, but I didn't care about anything other than eating. I followed him through the halls of the big house. To be honest, there is a big difference between the inside and the outside, the outside is like a prison, but the inside is beautifully furnished, with a wide staircase that leads to the second floor or higher. On the second floor, there is also a platform that overlooks the lobby. In addition to these houses, there are many green plants, and some of them have beautiful flowers.

I was taken to a room with a large long table. The room was like a conference room, but there was a lot of food on the table at the moment. There were fruits, vegetables, some meat and dairy products with crisp white napkins, and relaxing pure music playing in the room. In the corner of the room there is a bar and wine cabinet with a lot of wine, and next to the wine cabinet is a row of sofas and a coffee table.

"Sit casually. Would you like something to drink? Pablo asked, and when he saw me pick up the juice on the table, he added, "I'm talking about wine." ”

I shook my head, "No." I only drink a little when I'm on vacation at home. ”

"I see. It seems that you are a cautious person. You're going to miss out on some good wines, though. Pablo said as he limped to the wine cabinet, "I've got a couple of nice bottles of wine." ”

"Huh." I took a sip of the juice and picked up a few more slices of meat that looked like beef and put them in my mouth, "It's not a pity." I don't drink much in my hometown, where I prefer spirits, similar to what Russians drink. ”

"I know, Chinese drink spirits." As he spoke, he took out a bottle of wine and shook it towards the table. After seeing me look at him coldly, he was slightly stunned and smiled, "Don't be surprised, I didn't do anything to inquire about you or your teammates. That friend of mine was rescued by you together, and he told me. Don't you really come a little? He shook the bottle in his hand.

I relaxed when he said this, and continued to chew on the food in my mouth, "No more. I don't drink. ”

Seeing that I still didn't drink, he poured himself a drink, and after a moment he suddenly said, "You know what? I'll know who betrayed me tonight. ”

Hearing him say this, I just looked up at him and continued to eat without saying anything to him. And he didn't seem to be ready for me to answer anything, and continued to talk about some of their internal contradictions. I didn't quite understand it, after all, I had only seen this man in photos before I came here yesterday. But that didn't stop me from eating, I continued to eat the food and let him sing there alone.
