"The Taliban are here again," Karim reminded on the phone again.
Following the instructions, Ahmed immediately squatted down among a group of people nearby who were eating hot pot.
Ahmed pretended to smile and say hello to them.
When I crouched down, the Taliban's car sped past behind me.
"Let's go now." Karim urged on the phone when he saw that the car was almost gone.
Ahmed turned his head slightly and saw that the Taliban car had gone away. Then he stood up and walked towards the village gate with his wife in his arms.
Karim had already driven the car and parked it at the entrance of the village, and everything was ready there.
When Ahmed comes.
Karim immediately opened the trunk curtain.
Ahmed quickened his pace and lifted his wife and son into the trunk first, then got in and sat down himself.
Karim saw that they were all settled and quickly installed the trunk tailgate.
Start the car and start escaping to the next place.
…
John could no longer hold back his desire to find Ahmed, and was about to drive to his wife's shop to express his next thoughts to his wife.
"Good morning, boss!" The wife and employee saw John coming and greeted him proactively.
"Good morning!" John replied enthusiastically.
My wife is busy doing business and delivering goods to her customers.
"If you have any questions, just come to us." My wife said to the customer very enthusiastically.
"Okay. Thank you." Judging from the customer's expression, he was very satisfied with his wife's service.
"It's a pleasure to do business with you." The wife once again concluded her service with the customer.
"Goodbye!" The customer happily took the things and left.
"Mr. Kinley?" The wife was very surprised when she saw why her husband, John Kinley, came here today, because John rarely went to his wife's shop.
"Mrs. Kinley!" John teased, following his wife's lead.
"It seems that you have taken good care of everything." John looked at the orderly store organized by his wife. He praised his wife.
"The Cadillac will be ready in the afternoon, and the Harley will be picked up at six o'clock." His wife has been busy and is still working on the computer while telling John.
"I don't think you need my help." John seemed to have something in his words.
"No need." My wife is indeed a capable person who has been quietly contributing without any complaints.
"You are very beautiful and eye-catching. I want to go..." John couldn't help but want to say it, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.
"Put on sexy clothes." John immediately changed the subject.
A smart wife actually realizes what John might say to her.
Her expression was a little solemn. Although John didn't say it out loud, she could capture John's heart and knew that John didn't dare to tell the truth.
After John finished speaking, he turned around and sat in the shop, looking at the table and remaining silent.
A minute passed, and John still didn't speak.
The wife looked at the silent John and couldn't bear to see John in the Cao camp and in the Han Dynasty.
He took the initiative to walk up to John, point it out, and said to him: "I know and accept what you did, John."
John looked at his wife in surprise.
The wife continued:
"We have talked many times. I said goodbye to you. I don't know if I will see you again. I have been doing this for 12 years, but this time is different. This family thought you were dead. This news is so disturbing. We grieved for three weeks, and you know what I went through with the kids?
But you put me in a dilemma, being your wife is one thing, being their mother is another, we owe him a life, so we will remortgage the house, you will get those visas, you You will go and do what you have to do. You will come back alive, you have to come back alive. John Kinley. "
The wife said everything she had wanted to say to John for many years. There were actually some complaints in it, but more of it contained her love for John and her deep love and responsibility for the family.
After listening to his wife's words, John was actually very grateful to his wife, but he did not express it nakedly.
After John got his wife's understanding and support, Declan provided some information.
John felt much more at ease than before, and was more determined to help Ahmed immigrate.
Regarding the visa matter, John has made so many phone calls, but got nothing. Today, he just received a message from his boss, asking John to go over and talk to him about something.
John arrived listlessly at Travis Air Force Base, California, his former headquarters.
Both his boss and Declan were waiting for him in the office.
"Colonel, Declan." John greeted them as he entered.
"John, you're here, please sit down!" The boss was very enthusiastic towards John.
But John did not sit down, he remained standing.
"Everything is okay, John." The boss noticed something was wrong with John.
"No, everything is not good." John put his hands in his pockets and shook his head.
"Please sit down!" The boss invited again.
"If you don't mind, I'd rather stand." John said persistently. This John was completely different from the previous John. In the past, John listened very much to his boss, but this time he always sang the opposite.
"So, you seem to be very noisy recently." The boss did not continue the topic excessively, but after finishing speaking, he clicked on one of the many recordings on an IPAD placed on the table.
It contained John’s various heart-rending roars against the immigration customer service:
"May I have your name?"
"Sergeant, there is no need to..."
"What's your name..."
"I am First Officer Cowell, and I will..."
"Go to your house...I'll find you!"
"Sergeant, please calm down!"
"Someone's in trouble!"
"Sir, I promise you we will do everything we can."
"Damn desperate situation!"
After hearing this, the boss pressed the pause button.
John remained silent after listening, and his boss also remained silent.
"There is an official complaint." Declan stood next to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I understand, you asked me to come here to interfere with me or teach me a lesson. This is not the reason why I came here.
Do you think I wouldn't want to if I could get out of this debt? Do you think I can resolve it through normal channels? Do you think I won’t use it?
This is not how this debt is paid. He needs a result, not peace of mind. "
John also said all the words that had been stored in his heart for a long time.
The boss stared at him, surprised that John would say this.
John was not afraid and continued to say what he said: "There is a hook in my heart, but you can't see it." When he said this, John gritted his teeth.
"But he's right there. Do you think I have a choice? I have no choice at all. I'm going to save him and his family from the pit of fire we pushed him into." John said the word "we" Very heavy, eyes glowing with stars. (End of chapter)
