The two walked up to the rooftop together, and Jason took the cup handed by Ray Perry and drank it down, immediately putting on a pain mask, "Damn, I'd better enjoy Jack's cigar." ”

The night on the plateau was still a little cool, and the team members lit a fire in a large iron oil drum for lighting, and sat in a circle.

Jason distributed all the cigars to everyone, and poured a small half glass of water vodka to the disposable paper cup in his hand again, "Although today's action did not achieve the goal, I still have to celebrate, I am glad that everyone is safe." ”

"That's right, Chief!" Everyone raised the wine glasses in their hands and drank them one by one.

"Gentlemen, if you insist on breaking my rules, at least you shouldn't insult my country by drinking this donkey urine, okay?"

Behind the crowd came the voice of Colonel Martinez, and when they looked at the voice, they saw that he was walking slowly with Lieutenant Lopez, one after the other.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the colonel smiled and took out a bottle of tequila from his back and shook it.

"Haha, that's right."

"Wow!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Colonel Martinez filled the glasses for everyone and said, "Today is our first time fighting side by side, and the first time we have fought with Doza and his lackeys, so it's worth a drink." ”

Lieutenant Lopez carried a bag of lemons, cut them with a saber, handed them to the team members with green salt, and taught them to sprinkle green salt on the tiger's mouth, lick a mouthful of green salt, drink a mouthful of agave, and then take a bite of lemon, which is said to be a traditional local way to drink, and I don't know if it has any relationship with three mouths and a pig.

"Jason, your soldiers are the best I've ever met, and you, Agent Tawolle, though this is my first time dealing with the FBI, you're very impressive."

Seeing Colonel Martinez toasting to himself, Jack also smiled and raised his glass in salute, "Just call me Jack, you and Lieutenant Lopez are also very good fighters." ”

"May the Force be with you, right, Lopez? Am I right? Sonny memorized the Spanish phrase that Jack had taught him earlier, squeezing his eyes at Lieutenant Lopez, indicating that he had an extraordinary memory.

Lieutenant Lopez forced a smile and kept glancing at Jack with an expression that he didn't know whether to expose or not.

"You know that phrase is from a line from Star Wars, right?" Clay Spencer, who apparently knew a little Spanish, asked with a smile, and seeing that Sonny was still confused, he repeated it again in English, causing the rest of his teammates to laugh.

"Aha, you cunning FBI kid, well, you've fooled me this time, but I'll be back, man." Sonny is a very self-satisfied Texas cowboy who is also very good at giving himself a round.

Even with the delicious spirits to cheer up, the atmosphere at the scene gradually cooled down, and the team members looked at the blazing fire one by one and stopped making a sound, and their faces were thoughtful.

"Looks like you're not in the mood? Still depressed by your actions during the day? The veteran Colonel Martinez was keenly aware of the GI's thoughts and asked with a smile.

"You may not think it's a big deal, but I still have to say that it was thanks to you who saved those six people from the pile of dead that there are now six families there to celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe instead of mourning.

In my opinion, that's victory, isn't it? ”

"Listening to you say that, it makes people feel so much better, family is more important than everything, right?"

Jason smiled wryly, the fact that he had no choice at the time, leaving 6 dying people waiting to die in that slaughterhouse, or dividing his troops and causing his own team to be besieged, it was not the right decision.

"Aren't you curious about what I've been through in Mexico before? I can't say anything about the secrecy, but maybe I can talk to you about some of the things I know. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was cold again, Jack suddenly spoke, he knew that today's decision not to pursue Jason's order not to pursue made these soldiers who were used to being asked to complete the task at any cost a little depressed, and decided to take a part-time job as a political commissar today and do ideological work.

——

Then he killed the drug lord's whole family in front of me, and I didn't stop it, neither at that moment nor afterwards, I didn't have that thought."

Jack said that of course, he had a secret operation with Alessandro, hiding the name and place, and changing it as if it were a story, and told it to everyone.

At this time, not only the members of Team B, but also Major Blackburn, who had been busy downstairs, and the members of the logistics support team and another intelligence officer, Mandy Ellis, also went up to the rooftop platform.

Colonel Martinez had a few cases of beer fetched, and the crowd gathered around to listen to Jack's story.

"Really? You Mexicans. Belch. The Marines, the drug lords they face are all such crazy people? Clay Spencer was so captivated by the story that he couldn't help but stutter as he spoke.

"That prosecutor in a South American country, his wife and daughter are really my God, it's really unbelievable."

He has been operating with Team B for nearly two years, and he has seen a lot of terrorists and all kinds of murderous enemies, but this is the first time he has dealt with an anthropomorphic species like a drug dealer.

Like Jane Banner, who had partnered with Jack, he had no idea what kind of murderous opponents these Mexican soldiers were fighting.

"I'm sorry Lieutenant, I shouldn't have forced you before" Jason suddenly picked up the cup in his hand and apologized solemnly to Lieutenant Lopez.

"No, it's not your fault." The latter hurriedly waved his hand, "I grew up in Depro, and I watched my friends and relatives around me become accomplices of drug dealers one by one, or were mutilated by them.

I used to try to get myself away from it all, I left that place, got married, had two sons"

Watching him recount his journey with tears in his eyes, and then how he made up his mind to join the fight against drugs, the members of Team B fell silent for a while.

"And yours, Colonel? Aren't you worried about your family? Jason asked Colonel Martinez beside him in a low voice.

"Oh me, I'm not worried now, since I decided to deal with Doza two years ago, I sent them to Spain, where it's safe, Doza's hand doesn't reach that far."

Martinez barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face, "Although they are far away from everything they are familiar with, more than 9,000 kilometers away from me, at least they are safe, aren't they?" ”

"yes, at least they're safe." Jason muttered to himself, as if thinking of his own family.

"Your wife, if she is willing to give everything for this family like my wife, must also be a saint, right?" The two middle-aged men seemed to have finally found a common language, and you talked about their respective families word by word.

While it is true that the families of the seals do not have to face the threat of drug dealers, they can also be afraid of their loved ones who are fighting outside.

"What about you? Agent Tawolle. Sorry, Jack, are you married? As if fearing that Jack would be snubbed, Colonel Martinez turned to Jack again.

"Is a girlfriend counted?" When Jack saw that he didn't open which pot to mention, he could only show a polite but embarrassed smile.

"Haha, a handsome young man like you, I think there is more than one" The colonel was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a deafening explosion in the distance.

"What's wrong?"

"Where did it explode?"

Everyone got up and looked in the direction where the explosion came from, Jack was also a little surprised, they were now in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, not the lawless Juarez who kept gunfire all night, and the sound of police cars was not even heard near here before.

"There, sir, there's a car." A Mexican soldier on guard ran towards the crowd and pointed to the street not far behind.

The flames were accompanied by thick smoke rising into the sky, and a car parked not far from the base was ignited, from where the explosion just came from.

Everyone stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking towards the place where the fire was soaring, and another explosion sounded, probably the fuel tank of the car was ignited, and the burning fire was a little brighter, illuminating the wall next to the street clearly.

I saw a number of large portrait posters of Lieutenant Lopez on the wall, and next to him were family portraits of his wife and two sons.

“Muerta。” The lieutenant's face turned pale and he stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, "Gonzalez recognized me, and they found my family. ”
