Chapter 74: The Twelve Arhats (47)
"It's enough for two people!" I spoke.
"What? Just the two of you? Semolov pointed at Coleman, "This guy might as well not have a gun when he has it." You have no helper with him. ”
"I suggest you abandon this plan and have a chance later. We're not going to give up on that guy either. Ivan spoke.
I shook my head and said, "Can't give up." We did lose a lot, but I now feel like we're safer and safer when we go back quietly. And I feel pretty sure I'm going to do it. ”
"You have to think clearly ... We don't have to be here to decide! Ivan continued to persuade.
"I think very clearly! Coleman and I will get this done carefully. I said and looked at Coleman, "When are we going back to Austria and how are we going back?" ”
When Coleman saw me say this, he immediately cheered up and said, "I'll get in touch with someone to pick us up." Will send us all the way back to Graz. You should all know about my plans, as I told you, and there are arrangements for a place to stay in Graz when I arrive. ”
"I'm not worried about how you're going to get back. It's that when you really face the goal, there are only two of you ... After you do it, even if you succeed, how do you leave? Especially after being discovered, there are only two people, each running away to see luck? Ivan asked.
"I don't want to explain anymore... There are reasons for our continued action, and there are reasons that we have discussed before. I just want to emphasize to you now, what will that old guy think about our big loss? Also, we can't just forget that, no, I won't forget it. “
"We're not forgetting it. If that's what you say, is it totally intolerable to fail? Does failure mean it's all over? Semolov asked.
"This is an opportunity." I looked at Semolov, "How many more times do you want me to say it?" What you have to do now is not to go back and forth with me here about what I should do next, whether or not to do it. You should go back with Rudick and Lukovich. Then find a way to bring home the bodies of our companions. ”
Ivan didn't say anything when I said this, but Semolov wanted to speak, but Ivan stopped him, "Okay." Since both Gypsies and Coleman insist ... Whatever they are. Ivan looked at me and said, "Not only are you just like the old guy, you are even better than him... Narrow-minded ... Right.. That's it. ”
Ivan's last sentence made me smile bitterly, "Whatever you say... I'm going to go back and try anyway. I looked at Coleman, "When are you going to contact your friend who can take us back?" “
Coleman glanced at Ivan and Semolov, and seeing that they were silent, he said, "I'll contact him when I get to town." ”
At that moment, there was movement from the direction we had come, and it was the man who answered us who had discovered the situation, but in a moment the alarm was lifted by the sniper from the rear of the palace.
The man ran to us and looked at the leader and reported, "They didn't chase them. Soon evacuated. ”
The leader nodded and looked at everyone and said, "Get in the car." Let's leave right away. Those people are probably not ready to give up yet, and may continue to chase after them from other places. “
"Where are we going to go right now?" Ivan asked.
The leader looked at Ivan and said, "Where are you going?" Stay away from here and bring you back to Ukraine, of course. “
"Nope. I mean, where are we going to pass in a moment? Ivan said and pointed to me and Coleman, "These two guys still have a job to do. I would like to drop them off if they pass through some town and it's safe there. “
"Mission?" The man frowned and looked at me and Coe
Erman, "There is not such a thing in the orders I have received. ”
"Of course. Sorry because there are some things I can't disclose, which you should know. And the departure of the two of them does not affect your mission. Ivan said.
The man hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay." I don't care what you're going to do. I'm only concerned about my business, we'll get out of here right away, and then I'll report back on it, and if my boss doesn't have any objections, then I think I'll put these two people in Sombothey. “
"Sombot Hay?" I asked.
"Yes. The name of a city. It's a good place, and if you're interested, you can also do some sightseeing there. The leader opened the door as he spoke, "Let's get in the car, everyone." We still have a long way to go. “
So we got in the car again, and the car started again and drove all the way until the evening before stopping again. When we got out of the car, we found ourselves in a town, not far from us was a road-like rest area with supermarkets and restaurants.
"I've reported it to my boss." The guy in the lead walked up to us and said, "He said you can do what you want. ”
"Where is this, Sombotthay?" I asked.
"Yes. Where else could it be? The leader looked in the direction of the supermarket and the restaurant, "Everyone go to have a bite to eat, and the car needs to be refueled." And then we're going to get out of here overnight. ”
"What happened to the people who were chasing us?" Ivan asked.
The leader glanced at Ivan and said, "According to our eyeliner." They crossed the border shortly after we left, but they lost their bearings. Chased out in the northeast direction. “
"So we're safe now?" Semolov spoke.
"Pretty much. There should be no problem. But I'm still saying that, we're going to get out of here overnight. Okay, guys, you have twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, whatever you're doing, you'll have to stop and get out of here with us. The leader looked at me and Coleman, "Then you two. . . Are we breaking up here? ”
I looked at Coleman, who nodded at me. I said, "Let's break up here." Coleman and I stayed here for now. ”
The leader nodded and looked at one of his subordinates, "Valya, there's an inn over there, book a room for them." Leave two more pistols and enough ammunition for them. The man said to me and Coleman, "This is the last thing I can do for you, and I don't know what you're going to do, but I hope you can do well." “
"Then come with me." The man named Valya looked at me and Coleman.
"Thank you." I thanked the leader, and then I looked at Ivan and Semolov, "Remember, find a way to bring those people home when you get back." “
"I will." Ivan said as he hugged me with open arms, "If it doesn't work, give up." Be sure to remember. “
