"You lunatics."

Kate dropped a sentence, grabbed the papers, and jumped out of the car.

Reggie, who had witnessed the whole process just now, glanced at a few people in the car and hurriedly followed his partner.

"Make a bet."

Matt swirled the cigar smoke twice in his mouth and slowly exhaled: "These two children must have gone to their parents to complain." ”

"Go too."

He turned around and whispered, "Rent two cars and wait for them outside the FBI branch building." ”

"Watch out for Kate."

Matt leaned back, "Anyone who has unusual contact with her, be careful. ”

"Hmm."

Ethan nodded and beckoned Sandro to get out of the car.

FBI Building, Phoenix.

Kate and Reggie sat on a bench in the hallway, having been waiting for more than two hours, their body language becoming more and more impatient.

"Da-da-da-da."

High heels hammered on the ground, slowly approaching them.

"Agent Kate."

The female secretary looked to the other side and smiled, "Agent Reggie, the director is free, come with me." ”

The two of them hurriedly got up and followed the secretary forward.

"I'll state first."

Reggie touched Kate's shoulder and whispered, "I'm just with you, and I'll deal with the director myself later." ”

"Coward."

Kate rolled her eyes and clutched the file in her hand.

This time I came here to persuade the director to file a case, and the way those three people did it was too scary, and Kate's concept of being trained and the way she handled things were completely different.

Walk down the hallway until you stop in front of a small conference room.

The director and his assistant sat inside.

After thanking the secretary, Kate and Reggie pushed open the glass door together and strode inside.

"I only have ten minutes."

The branch chief tapped his watch and looked at the two agents sitting in front of him, "If I'm not mistaken, Kate should be working in Advisor Matt's special operations team. ”

"Are you done?"

This made Kate's face turn red, and it was taboo to skip the level and sue her.

She also understood this truth, but now she couldn't care so much, she stood up again and handed out the document in her hand:

"Sir, I think you need to take a look at this information."

The branch director looked at the document in the other party's hand, and it took a few seconds before taking it.

Under the gaze of the two men, he looked blankly at it, and it was all densely packed with deposit records, all the way back to a few years ago.

A minute later, he closed the paper.

"This is our chance."

Kate pressed her hands on the table and couldn't wait to say: "For several years in a row, tens of thousands of dollars of cash will be deposited every day, and since we have found out, it is necessary to arrest Diaz back." ”

"What did Matt say?"

The branch chief tapped his fingers on the document, and his eyes were sharp as he looked at the female agent.

"He said he didn't have a chance." Kate gritted her teeth and continued, "But I think we can do something if we get people back. ”

"Does Matt have any point?" The director of the branch adjusted his sitting posture and said patiently:

"You know very well that it's not illegal for Diaz."

"Yes, we all know there's something wrong with it, but it doesn't make any sense, and we can't use this to accuse him."

Again, this sentence, pretty much the same thing.

Kate pursed her lips and said what came to her mind: "I think the IRS people will have a different opinion on this." ”

"Let their people help."

"What do you want to do?"

The assistant next to her knocked on the table and interrupted her: "What do you want to achieve?" ”

"What do I want to achieve?"

Kate became emotional, and she spread her hands:

"I just want to get Diaz and put him in a goddamn prison instead of running to goddamn Mexico and shooting at the goddamn solitaires."

"Shet, and the damn Delta Special Forces."

After a series of damn words, Kate pressed the table and her breath became rapid: "I just want things to go according to the rules, do you know Matt's way of doing things?" ”

"They're too out of bounds, they're too."

Kate thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "It's crazy." ”

In the conference room, the atmosphere became a little tense, and the sub-chief and the assistants beside him were silent, just quietly watching her and Reggie.

Under the gaze of these two people, Kate's emotions quickly calmed down.

"Kate."

The assistant thought for a moment and spoke first: "You and Reggie are both doing front-line work, and I believe we know the current situation better than us." ”

"This is war, and we are going through it."

"We need people like Matt who don't have to think about things."

He slowed his tone and said in a deep voice, "I know that a man like him can quickly find the weaknesses of the sole traders and use them well, which of course creates chaos. ”

"But chaos can bring opportunities that we can use to better fight monopolies."

Kate and Reggie glanced at each other, both a little helpless.

It seems that their ideas are not supported by the high-level, and listening to the tone, they also faintly support Matt's approach.

"Listen."

The branch director looked at Kate and patiently explained, "I know what you're worried about, it's just not necessary. ”

"I don't have that right to ask the Ministry of Defense to send an adviser down."

"I also don't have the right to let so many departments cooperate, including the delta you mentioned earlier, and the air base you went to before, all of which are beyond my purview."

"Let me make it clearer."

Looking at the two helpless people opposite, the branch director nodded his finger upward: "These decisions are not something I can make." ”

"If you're worried about the operation crossing the line, I'm telling you no."

"At this time, the boundaries do not exist."

"Now."

He touched his nose and looked at the two people in front of him: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Understood, sir."

Kate sighed lightly and replied sullenly.

Reggie also nodded silently, he finally understood that in this matter, there was no room for them to bargain.

"Good."

The branch director nodded and threw the document into the trash: "Go back, cooperate with the work, this is what you should do." ”

"As for Reggie."

He moved his gaze to Lao Hei: "Since you are already involved, then follow Kate, and the two of them can take care of each other." ”

"Okay."

Reggie nodded and patted Kate on the shoulder.

That's good news, at least Kate doesn't have to be alone, someone is watching behind her.

Kate also accepted this, and Reggie reluctantly left.

When the two left, the branch director shook his head and took out his mobile phone and clicked on the address book.

After a few beeps, the phone was connected.

"I'm Matt."

A deep voice sounded on the other side: "Well, I guessed correctly." ”

"It's been pacified."

The branch director scratched his forehead and said with a headache: "You have to abide by the agreement, and the credit for the seized unique products is the FBI." ”

"Hahaha."

Matt laughed a few times, completely unconcerned: "This is originally your FBI's operation, you won't forget, I don't exist at all." ”

"Alright, I'll be busy first."

Honk!

There was no ambiguity on the other side, and the phone hung up instantly.

"Damn the CIA."

Looking at the phone in his hand, the branch director scolded in a low voice.

The assistant next to him stared blankly at the ceiling, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Outside the building, at the intersection.

A blonde chick in a cowboy hat and denim hot pants squirms past the side of the car with her ass twisted, and Ethan's gaze follows all the way.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that he sighed:

"Damn, I found out I fell in love with this place."

"Huh."

Sandro's voice rang out: "How's that chick's skin?" ”

"Seventy."

Ethan moved his body, picked up the sandwich next to him and took a bite: "Why haven't they come out yet?" ”

The phone that is connected is placed on the mobile phone holder.

Sandro's vehicle was parked opposite, and the two men crossed their positions, keeping their eyes firmly on the entrance and exit of the federal building.

This kind of thing can't be told to Kate.

When she is on guard, she can't be a bait.

"Shet."

Before Sandro could reply, Ethan brushed his beard off his lips in annoyance: "Do we have to wear this?" ”

Not only did I rent a car just now, but I also changed my clothes.

On his face, he even got his beard.

It's not an acquaintance, and if you don't look closely, you won't recognize it at all.

"You know the answer." Sandro also lowered his cowboy hat on the other side: "Although those two are newcomers, they are also FBI, so be careful." ”

Shove the last bite of the sandwich into your mouth and finally see the familiar SUV rush out of the parking lot.

Through the windshield, you can see that the expressions of the people inside are a little depressed.

Ethan smiled slightly, immediately started the car and quickly followed, and after a while, Sandro also turned the steering wheel slowly, and the two followed alternately, staring at who was in contact with them.

At the gas station, Kate hurriedly got out of the car and bought a pack of cigarettes.

Restaurant, two people stop for dinner.

During this time, there was no contact with any outsiders.

Ethan frowned and tapped the steering wheel, he made Matt delay for more than two hours, which should be enough time for the sole dealer to react, why those people were so slow.

After eating, Kate and the others came to another place.

There is a string of light bulbs hanging on the outer wall of the big bungalow, just looking at the signboard, I don't know what the place is.

But listening to the sound of music coming from inside, it is a bar.

Men and women wearing cowboy hats walked inside one after another.

expressions, there is a hint of excitement.

"Alright."

Ethan found a corner of the flat ground outside to stop the car, and when he saw Kate and Reggie walking in, he grabbed his phone and asked, "It's supposed to be a bar inside, which one of us will go in?" ”

"There you go."

Sandro's car slowly pulled from a distance, and he said boredly, "I'm staring outside." ”

Two minutes later, Ethan pushed the door open.

Smack.

One foot on the muddy ground.

This environment is a bit difficult to describe.

Scratching his beard, he shook his head and walked inside.

A classic western American bar, soothing country music, a large dance floor in the middle, and many small square tables scattered around it, and Kate and Reggie can be seen sitting at a table against the wall.

Ethan retracted his gaze and found the farthest corner from them.

On the table, there are red candle lamps.

The round candles are lit by firelight, and together with the neon lights in the store, the atmosphere is particularly atmospheric.

It looks tattered on the outside, but inside it is full of things.

"Sir."

The waiter walked over and asked with a smile, "What do you want?" ”

Ethan unexpectedly discovers that meals are also available.

The sandwich just now was a cushion for the stomach, and now that he finally has something serious to eat, he immediately picked up the menu and ordered himself a steak and a glass of whiskey.

With the blessing of the tip, the things were quickly served.

He took a picture of Sandro, then picked up his knife and fork with a smile, and glanced at Kate's location from time to time.

The interest of these two people was not very high at first.

However, after two bottles of beer, I looked much more relaxed and began to talk and laugh.

"Huh?"

Ethan swept to the bar, his gaze fixed.

A white man in a blue plaid shirt was talking and laughing with the people around him, but he always looked at Kate from time to time, not like he wanted to talk, and there was no desire in his eyes.

It's more of a thought, as if thinking about the next move.

Ethan smiled and forked a piece of beef.

The heat is good, soft and juicy.

After a plate of steak was eaten, Plaid Shirt also began to act, and greeted Reggie with ease, and then took the opportunity to give the two of them a round of wine, and the three of them sat down together and chatted.

While the few people were talking, a flash of light flashed on the waist of the plaid shirt.

Ethan took a sip of wine, his eyes twinkle.

Matt really guessed correctly, there are indeed rats in the Phoenix law enforcement system, and with the identities of Kate and Reggie, it is naturally better to be close to the people in the same system.

Going around and around, a lot of things can be talked about together.

If no one else comes close to Kate and Reggie, then it can be concluded that the plaid shirt is a mouse sent by Diaz.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the bar became more and more intense.

On the table over there, there was also laughter from time to time, and the music was much more lively than just now, and some people had already begun to dance along with the music on the dance floor in the middle, and the movements were quite free.

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, just jump and you're done.

After Ethan declined the invitation a few times, he saw a few people at Kate's table and ran to the dance floor to dance.

I can't see that Kate is quite energetic when she twists.

Maybe it's because the work is not going well, so she jumps extra hard.

After drinking the eighth glass of whiskey, Ethan had already determined that the rat sent by Diaz was Plaid Shirt, and they all walked out of the bar together, and no one came up to contact Kate and Reggie.

"Confirm the target."

Texting Sandro, Ethan put his phone away.

Come next to a two-story apartment building and pull over.

The scarlet light lit up, and Sandro leaned against the hood of a Corolla, puffing out smoke in his mouth.

"Are you sure you want to go up?"

When Ethan got out of the car, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we guess wrong, then the next scene will be very ugly." ”

"Then apologize."

Ethan spread his hands and strode towards the small building next to him: "I think she will definitely forgive." ”

"Bang."

A gunshot rang out from the second floor.
