"How many people?" Frank asked.
"Twenty-five people!"
Frank looked at his pistol, then threw it to Kai, turned around and rushed into the cabin. After a while, he took out a sniper rifle with an infrared night vision scope, and quickly climbed up the mast on the ship.
"Direction!"
"To the port side dock."
Kai put down the two pistols and tried the feel. Then he walked directly off the cargo ship into the darkness.
Frank adjusted his breathing, felt the downwind direction and wind speed, looked at the humidity and temperature displayed on his watch, and then began to adjust the crosshairs. Sniper rifles are very troublesome guns. Before using them, they must be adjusted according to the on-site conditions, because this kind of high-precision firearms is really a matter of a millimeter, and a little bit of external environmental conditions can affect the hit rate.
Bang!
With a gunshot, an armed man who was sneaking towards the cargo ship in secret was shot in the shoulder!
This shot also made the other armed men alert immediately. They quickly found a bunker and hid themselves there. Their movements were very fast and neat. Even the unlucky guy who was shot was pulled into the surrounding bunkers by his companions.
"They are not gangsters." Frank immediately reminded Kai with the radio.
"I know."
Kai replied immediately.
In fact, Kai realized that there was something wrong with these people after discovering them. They cooperated very well with each other. It was obvious that they had been trained day by day to reach such a level. These are not elites that can be produced by some grass-roots gang!
Even Kai's 15th Precinct probably couldn't gather so many well-trained elite police officers.
After Frank knew that Kai had the plan, he stopped caring and quickly adjusted the sniper rifle. The shot just now was just a test shot. After all, Frank lacked an observer, but the effect was not bad. Frank was a little satisfied with his feel. He didn't expect that he was still online after retiring for so many years.
After debugging, Frank's next actions were much smoother.
He and Kai had a clear division of labor. Kai entered the chaotic battle mode and directly forced those people out from behind, while Frank provided cover and harvested.
However, during the fight, Frank discovered a problem.
Kai killed people faster than him as a long-range sniper. He started from behind the group of people and harvested all the way. His movements were very fast! Sometimes, Frank just aimed and the target fell to the street, causing Frank to miss several times.
About six minutes later, the gunfire gradually stopped.
"Done, two alive." Kai's voice appeared steadily in Frank's headset, as if he had just gone out to buy a bottle of water, and he didn't sound like a person who had undergone intense exercise.
Frank put away his gun and quickly rushed to Kai's position.
Behind a container, Kai lit a cigar, leaned against the container, and smoked it from time to time. → Opposite him, there were two unlucky guys whose limbs were fixed with military daggers.
"Okay, that's them. I'll leave it to you. I'm a policeman. I can't torture people." Kai nodded at Frank, then walked aside with a cigar in his mouth. He knew that Frank would make the next scene extremely ugly. Although Kai was very receptive to such scenes, after all, he had seen them many times on the battlefield before. But that didn't mean Kai would like that kind of scene. Who would like that kind of scene?
Frank didn't care, and even felt a little happy. He was not a skilled torturer. He was more simple and rough. The general meaning was that if the enemy was not dead, he would kill him. However, with Frank's cruelty and viciousness, this seemingly LOW torture method was surprisingly effective.
Of course, he did this more to vent his anger and bloodthirsty impulse that had nowhere to vent. Since the death of his wife and children, his heart has been twisted.
...
About half an hour later, Frank walked out covered in blood.
But his expression did not seem to have the slightest joy, and even revealed an impulse to destroy everything. It seemed that something in his heart broke.
Kai did not rush to ask anything, but threw a cigar to him. Let him slow down a little.
After all... Kai heard everything. With Kai's perception, at such a close distance, unless Kai deliberately did not hear, otherwise...
And the revelations given by the two survivors were really powerful.
Frank took a few puffs of the cigar, and still felt that he could not control his emotions. He threw away the cigar, took out a silver wine bottle, and drank a few mouthfuls of himself.
"You are right..."
"Didn't I say that the situation is not certain? Maybe it's a coincidence?" Kai advised. This kind of thing is really a blow to people. If you have not been in the army, it is difficult to understand the feelings between comrades. But...
"No... I know that person..." Frank drank a few more mouthfuls of wine. This time he was a little anxious, causing Frank to start coughing violently. "He is my comrade... I saved him, and I carried him back from the battlefield..."
Kai knew who Frank was talking about. After all, he had been monitoring the whole process.
Frank gasped: "He's mine!"
"Yes, yes... I don't intend to fight you for it." Kai had to comfort him, he was really afraid that this guy would faint from anger.
Frank stared at Kai with bloodshot eyes, very unhappy with his perfunctory tone: "I will be very calm before he gives me an answer."
Kai curled his lips and said noncommittally: "Let's go, I think you can't wait any longer. Let's find out about this tonight."
Both he and Frank knew that the previous speculation was extremely likely.
Think about it, besides Frank’s relatives, who else in the world knows him so well? As mentioned before, Frank's interpersonal relationships are extremely simple. Apart from his comrades in the army, he basically doesn't have too many friends. Even his friends in daily life don't know Frank that well. →
You know, no one can guess the safe house in front of you except Kai, who just learned about it today.
Then the person who can find this place must be someone who has an unusual understanding of Frank's various habits. There are very few such people... very few, only a few of them.
Plus that person just now...
Although everything sounds very ridiculous, the facts are there. Even if Frank doesn't want to believe it, he has to believe it.
Besides, Frank was just in pain, but he never chose to escape.
so……
"Come on, I can't wait any longer. Let's find out about this tonight."
…
Ray Schoonoff smiled and rubbed his son's head, watching him being coaxed to take a bath and sleep by his wife.
After his son gradually fell asleep in the gentle voice of his wife, Lei also stood up. He put on a body armor and then brought a pistol that he would never carry.
"Where are you going? It's so late?" The wife just came out of her son's room and saw Lei put on his coat. It has begun to rain outside now, and the late autumn rain is particularly freezing.
"It's work." Lei said honestly as usual.
Ray has always felt that he has a talent for acting. If his family had not opposed him going to Hollywood, he would not have joined the army. In the eyes of anyone who knows him, Lei is a good, serious and responsible man, even a little honest. He is the epitome of a good husband and father.
Even his wife always thought so.
But in fact, Lei has never had fewer women outside these years, and has even supported three women for a long time, but he has not left any children, because he really loves his wife. He will always leave a bottom line, although the bottom line is relatively low.
"Work, work... don't always think about work. You are not young anymore. You can't be the only one in the army, right? You should take a rest instead."
His wife still knew the nature of Lei's work. Although she never knew what her husband was doing specifically, she always believed that he had been fighting for this country. So she rarely stops him from going to work, but as she gets older, she still hopes that her husband can spend more time with them. In the past, they didn't even dare to have children just because of his job. Now that he finally has a child, Lei is still busy.
Lei smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either, but what can I do for the life after retirement? Isn't this all for the future of us and our children?"
The wife obviously understands this reason.
Indeed, Lei gave her and her children a very generous life. Their house, car and all their expenses were on par with the upper class. It can be said that all of this was earned by Lei's hard work, so his wife could not refute anything.
"Then be careful, you are not young anymore."
Although I don't know what Lei's job is specifically... but looking at these cars and houses, I know that the work is very dangerous, otherwise the salary would not be so high.
Ray smiled and went out.
There were already several special forces soldiers waiting for him outside.
Today, Lei sent his most elite soldiers to clean up hidden dangers. Logically speaking, there should be no problem. But Lei was still a little worried. That's why he left home.
He decided to go to a hut in the woods outside the city, which was secluded and easy to defend. More importantly, it was far away from his family.
Although Lei knew that that person had a very high moral bottom line, he probably wouldn't do anything to women and children... but what if it happened? You know, he killed that person's wife and children, so there's no guarantee that that person won't do harm in return.
And even so, if you fight with the opponent at home, what if you get accidentally injured?
The other party’s wife and children were also injured due to “accidental injuries”!
"Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Lei comforted himself.
…
Soon Lei settled down in the cabin. He sat down on the sofa and pressed the remote control panel to switch the TV series to several news channels. After a while, he frowned and stopped: "Frank is silent?"
According to Lei's prior plan, an explosion would be used to clean up all traces. This kind of movement will definitely attract the attention of all news media, but there has been no movement so far. There was no expected murder in the news, so he could only turn off the TV and want to quietly think about the follow-up.
The sound of the TV disappeared and the whole room fell into silence.
Lei leaned on the sofa, and suddenly his heart tightened: That's not right.
What about the sound of patrols outside?
He was watching the news on TV just now, and there was a lot of people in the room, but he didn't pay attention. Now, the whole house is as quiet as a haunted house. Except for the sound of rain and wind outside the house, there is no sound at all! This is not normal!
Ray's hand reached into the side of the sofa and touched a pistol hidden there, and his eyes slowly scanned the room. His eyes did not move quickly, but he tried to use his peripheral vision to look for possible approaching dangers.
Click!
There was a sound and the door lock was opened.
Just as he was about to pull out the gun in his hand, he heard a deep voice coming from the door: "Lei, long time no see."
Lei's hand paused, but a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Frank, is that you?"
He stood up and turned to the hallway at the door. He put the pistol in the gap of the sofa in his right hand behind him.
A burly figure walked in: "It's me."
The man in front of him had a flat head, a trapezoidal face, a cold expression, and his eyes seemed to flash with cold light, which made people feel nervous.
Everything was the same as Lei remembered.
The man came again.
But Lei still hid his shock and panic. He had to act normal because he knew this man too well.
Frank Custer!
This man who was like the god of death.
The hand holding the gun behind his back tightened, and his face showed great surprise: "What's going on? Since I knew you were in trouble, I have been looking for you for two years, but I have never heard from you. Where have you been? Why didn't you come to me?"
He said to Frank with a little sadness: "Come on, sit down and tell me what happened? What happened to Maria, Lisa and little Frank?"
He looked like a kind old man who cared about his comrades!
Frank: "No, I just want to ask you a question. Do you know the "blacksmith"? "
Lei frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't heard of him. What does he do and where is he active, so that I can find him."
But in fact, behind his back, Lei had already held the gun tightly.
Frank was silent.
Lei looked at him, and the gun on his back moved slowly: "Frank, what's the problem? Tell me, I will try my best to help you, for the sake of old comrades... um?"
Lei didn't move, because the back of his head was pressed against the muzzle of the gun. Lei and guns have been fighting for most of his life, and he knows that it is a real gun!
"It seems that it is really him." The man behind him took Lei's gun, a Remington. He signaled to Frank.
Frank nodded. The gunman outside the door and Lei's pistol were basically confirmed.
"Frank, don't joke! I..."
Frank seemed to have heard nothing. He just walked in front of Lei, searched his body, and found a pocket pistol from his pocket. This kind of thing is usually used to sneak up on people. The range is very short, but it is still possible to kill people if caught off guard. Frank turned off the safety of the pistol and threw it aside.
Then, he sat next to Lei and pulled out the gun and pointed it at him.
"I want to be alone with him for a while." This was said to Kai.
Kai shrugged and walked out the door.
There was a dead silence in the room. Lei's face kept changing. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
After two minutes, Frank's breathing became heavier and faster. He thought about everything and finally asked the question in his mind: "Did you kill Maria and the others?"
...
Kai looked at the rain outside the door and listened to the conversation in the house without any scruples.
Ray, full name Ray Schoonoff. He is a colonel in the Marine Corps and the boss of Frank and Robert before they retired. He has a very good relationship with Frank because he was Frank's boss when Frank joined the army, and they saved each other's lives on the battlefield.
This is why Frank always finds it hard to believe that Ray would kill his whole family!
Their two families are friends! Frank even let Ray be the godfather of his child!
He doesn't understand why!
