Chapter 621 Old school!!(2/2)
The two have worked together for more than a year. They have experienced life and death together in Afghanistan and Iraq, and have participated in many actual combat deployment missions. They are extremely familiar with each other.
No matter how miraculous things are, once you've seen them enough, you won't be surprised anymore.
Tyler took a swig of beer, burped with satisfaction, released carbon dioxide, and finally focused on Nicole.
"Are you alive again?"
After hearing Taylor's question, Nicole replied: "We took on a big mission, a rescue operation, an Indian child, the son of a drug lord.
A rival gang has kidnapped his son in Dhaka and we need to get him out."
Long Zhan already knew the content of the operation and there was no need to participate in the conversation between the two. He just wandered around the room drinking wine.
Take a look here, take a look there.
He quickly discovered sleeping pills and tranquilizers, and realized that Taylor's mental state was worse than imagined, and he couldn't help but frown.
However, Long Zhan didn't say anything, he just reminded him in his mind.
"Gaspar lives in Dhaka, why don't you call him?"
Taylor walked to the dining table and sat down, put the beer bottle on the table, opened the medical kit on the table, took out the sterilized cotton cloth, and lifted his bangs to reveal a wound.
The length is less than one centimeter, and the wound is not deep. It was probably caused by surfing in the mountains.
"Gaspar has given up."
Nicole walked over and took away the sterile cotton cloth and said while checking the wound: "Time is urgent, there are less than 24 hours left before the ransom is paid, and the deadline is Friday at noon.
The hostage's last signs of life showed that the kidnappers had a phone call with the hostage's family 6 hours ago."
Nicole was sure that the wound did not require stitches, and was about to use a cotton cloth to disinfect it, but Taylor turned his head to avoid it, and took the sterile cotton cloth back, refusing Nicole's help and keeping a distance between them.
While cleaning the wound, he asked: "What's the price?"
Nicole's approach was rejected again, and she seemed a little at a loss. She stood there blankly for several seconds without making any movement.
"Interesting, really interesting."
Long Zhan noticed the state between the two of them and couldn't help but laugh to himself when he thought that the dignified mercenary queen would also have the embarrassment of unrequited love.
At the same time, I am 100% sure that Nicole basically has nothing to do with Taylor.
Long Zhan and Taylor have been old friends for many years. He had met Taylor's wife and had dinner together. He remembered her as a cheerful and lively woman.
It is clear.
Nicole and Taylor's wives have very different personalities. It can even be said that they are not on the same channel at all.
Seeing that you didn't answer for a long time, Taylor asked for the second time: "How much can I get?"
"Same as usual, 28, we'll provide the equipment and we'll put it on your card when it's done." Nicole's mental quality was still very strong, and her expression quickly adjusted to normal.
"Okay, I'll take this job."
Taylor put a band-aid on the wound, finally reacted, picked up the unfinished beer, walked over and touched Long Zhan.
He said expectantly: "Long, come here with us. Are you also participating in this rescue mission?"
"Guessed it right."
Long Zhan put his right hand around Taylor's shoulder and said with nostalgia: "We can fight side by side again, which makes me happier than anything else."
"Your performance in the army was so outstanding, I thought you would stay in the army forever. Unexpectedly, you also retired and became a mercenary. I really didn't expect that you are fully capable of becoming an officer." Taylor said.
"No, I am not a mercenary."
Long Zhan shook his head and said proudly: "I have now opened a military company in partnership with my friends, and it has been officially opened for business.
I thought you were not out in the army, so I didn't invite you.
Since you have also left the army now, let us two brothers work together. When we come back from this mission, it is necessary for us to have a good talk. You are my best brother, and I need your help very much..."
"You poach people in front of me? That's not good."
Nicole interrupted Long Zhan's words, with the same zombie face as always, unable to tell whether it was a joke or a real opinion, she changed the subject and said: "The mastermind behind this is Assef Amir, who has huge influence in Dhaka.
Once you launch a rescue, things will become very complicated.
In order to ensure the success of this mission, I found a partner for you. Now that you two know each other, it will be easier..."
"Actually, I can do it on my own." Taylor interrupted Nicole.
"No, you can't."
Nicole's expression became more serious, she walked up to Taylor, stared into his eyes and said: "Actually, I shouldn't come to you, your condition has always been unstable.
The reason why you always take on dangerous missions is because you want to be killed by a bullet during the mission and end your miserable life.
But you should know that that thing was not your fault, and you shouldn’t punish yourself like this..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Taylor interrupted Nicole again, with obvious impatience in his tone, and said casually: "I just want to make money, raising chickens is not cheap."
Long Zhan got more information from the conversation between the two, but he was even more confused as to why Taylor became what he was today.
"Fine."
Nicole didn't want to force Taylor, so she turned around and walked out: "I respect your choice. Since you agree, let's go. Let's take a helicopter to the airport."
"Women always like to guess."
Looking at Nicole's back as she walked out of the door, Taylor looked at Long Zhan and spread his hands, curling his lips and shrugging with helplessness on his face.
"I agree, but..."
Long Zhan paused for two seconds and then changed his tone: "I think this woman is quite interesting."
Taylor knew Long Zhan's temperament. He would never forget to pick up girls wherever he went. He smiled and asked, "What? Do you want to get her?"
"I have this idea." Long Zhan raised his eyebrows.
"Then this challenge isn't too difficult. Nicole is not someone you can do in a bar. You and I don't think you can do it." Taylor laughed.
"Oldschool?"
Long Zhan brought up the "fun" between the two. When they worked together in the SEAL Team 1, they would bet $100 to resolve any disagreements.
Not much money, just having fun.
(It cannot be translated as old school here. In modern English, it is translated as old school, old school, etc. In the military, it usually means using the same old routine, acting as usual, etc.)
"I took it because I'm short of money recently." Taylor was very confident.
"We'll see."
Long Zhan was equally confident. He drank the remaining beer in one gulp, put down the bottle and walked out, saying: "Before that, we have to complete this rescue mission first. I hope your skills have not fallen behind."
"Just wait and see!"
