After being transported by helicopter to the military airport.
Received new firearms and equipment.
Instead of the bulky HK416, I received a modified MP7, with a positioning transceiver and a small camera attached to the body.
It was an espionage object, completely different from the body cams we were used to hanging around with.
“Things are different, but different… … .”
While looking around and muttering.
A voice came from the seat next to the plane.
“Are you interested?”
It was Rachel.
She shrugged her shoulders as she asked with a smile.
“where… CIA?”
“Yes, I am asking because you seem to be interested in diplomatic passports and equipment.”
“I am interested, but I am not looking to change jobs. I’m looking at it because it’s my stuff, well… But I don’t think the CIA is bad either. There are fewer stereotypes… … .”
“By stereotypes, are you referring to the view that the CIA is arrogant, picky, and disrespectful?”
“Ugh, what’s so… … .”
He responded lightly with a smile, but did not deny it.
Because that was true.
When I was serving in the Special Forces, soldiers’ views on intelligence agents were usually similar, as were the NIS agents I sometimes encountered.
And it fit just fine.
It wasn’t prejudice, it was because they actually acted and reacted that way.
However, the agents of the CIA safe house in Sao Paulo, Brazil, including Kenneth whom I met in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and the people who helped me get on the plane were very kind.
Not only did he take care of my convenience, but he also took good care of our team.
There was nothing particularly distasteful about it.
While I was thinking about that, I heard Rachel’s voice.
“Lee, that’s an accurate view, not your stereotype, and that view wasn’t wrong either.”
“yes?”
“You and we became kind because we became the target of their operation.”
“Is the team everything?”
“He must have noticed that you cared for the team. So, in order to placate you, I would have decided that I would have to bring the whole team, and I would not hesitate to support you.”
“But even if no one else knows, there’s no way the team leader will pass over… … ?”
“Well, do you think so?”
I just blinked my eyes at Rachel’s words.
“The team leader could go over to the CIA?”
As I questioned her, I reflexively looked at Jake, who was sitting in the front seat.
He was a typical US Special Forces soldier with a huge body sticking out of his chair.
Intelligence agencies such as the CIA are the kind of people who don’t even pay attention unless it’s an operation.
It was when I thought there was no possibility of changing jobs.
“If you go to the CIA, will the team leader still be there?”
“… … ?”
I was about to shake my head, but I stopped.
It was because Rachel couldn’t take a word like this lightly.
As he was one of the few people who were quick to notice, he must have been anticipating what Jake would do.
“ah… … .”
Rachel’s words continued as her mouth hung open.
“Harry will follow you everywhere, of course, and I am no different… … . Not only that, but the whole team will be rocked. It is likely that the tissue will be absorbed entirely. If we create a department inside the CIA to replace our organization… … .”
“To the organization… … ?”
“Yes, your value has already exceeded our organization.”
I couldn’t help but reply to the words that followed.
It was because the words that I hadn’t thought of came out in a row.
I couldn’t deny that.
Because she wasn’t wrong.
I knew very well that my abilities were worth it.
I just haven’t considered it until now.
While shaking her head, Rachel opened her mouth.
“I don’t want you to go to the CIA.”
“yes? why?”
It was when I asked, thinking about the vast size of the organization or the conservative mission system.
Rachel opened her mouth.
“There are more female employees than in our organization… No, that’s fine.”
“yes?”
I wanted to say something, so I hurried to answer, and Rachel shook her head.
“The CIA is too big, so no. It is already a monstrous organization.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“The CIA would be nice. If you even get in there… More powerful monsters will be born. Maybe even create a killer squad with you in front. Even if it’s not a unit, they’ll use you as a killer. When you can kill a target from a few kilometers away, how can you use that ability only to catch terrorists?”
“Then the target we are talking about is… … .”
“Yes, to eliminate targets the CIA could benefit from. Whether it’s the personnel of the anti-American regime or the factors trying to regulate the CIA… … .”
“… Is there really such a thing?”
It sounds like a story in a movie. When I asked back, Rachel shook her head.
“I don’t know. But I would have reviewed that. It’s a matter of execution. To be precise… You’d have to be a CIA director or president. Or be the party that carries out the work.”
“If I refuse to do that… Conversely, will I be arrested or controlled? Is that like a movie?”
“I can’t say no. The CIA reviews all cases.”
“Ugh… Then you’d better retire.”
“… retirement?”
This time, Rachel’s eyes widened, so she answered briefly.
“Later, later. I’m not saying I’m going to do it soon… … .”
“At times like this, I don’t know who you are. Now I’m only 30, and I’m talking about retirement… … .”
“That is what it means.”
By the time you give me a light answer.
ding-
With an audible alarm, it was transmitted to the plane that preparations for takeoff were complete.
And the plane started moving.
Destination Vietnam.
While I felt the power transmitted to my whole body, the plane took off before I knew it.
* * *
The next day, around noon, a village in Cao Bằng City, Vietnam.
With the hot sun beating down and the showers pouring down, Giandro left the little lodge.
And I took a scooter that was locked in front of the hostel.
I unlocked it, loaded and tied it up, and put on a blue vinyl raincoat over my clothes.
Then, wearing sunglasses that he might have bought at the market, Giandro laughed.
It was because the reflection in the scooter’s side mirror had the appearance of a poor backpacker.
And it was just as he intended.
‘Even if I spread wanted flyers, I’m not going to be recognized.’
It was a kind of disguise.
Of course, since I came to Vietnam, I always dressed as a tourist, but that didn’t mean I always looked the same.
was constantly changing.
Once like a wealthy leisurely traveler, another time like a member of a tour group and now like a solo backpacker.
This was one of Giandro’s ways of avoiding pursuit.
It was not simply using a fake passport and using cash instead of a card, but also considering the gaze of people who would remember him.
So, even if he came to find the witnesses, his purpose was to make them confused or missed in the middle.
Not only that, but as always, I was touring Vietnam for two days, erasing traces.
Now I was in Cao Bang, the northern tip of Vietnam.
It was around the time I got on the scooter and took off the pedestal.
thiririri-
Suddenly the bell rang.
At the same time, Giandro flinched and looked down at his waist.
It was because the heaviest and biggest satellite phone in the auxiliary bag that was like a belly band was crying.
“… … !”
Then Giandro hurriedly got off the scooter and moved to a crevice in the building to avoid people’s attention.
And it was not too late to take out the satellite phone from the auxiliary bag.
It was because there was only one caller, Pikal.
Jurgen, the butler, had contacted her not long ago, but the phone was not originally designed for that purpose.
It is only used when communicating with Pikal.
It must have been, but Giandro, who cautiously answered the phone from a gap in the building, flinched.
“… … ?!”
Pikal’s heavy voice could not be heard.
This time, it was Jurgen, the butler.
– You want your boss to disappoint you?
“… It can’t be.”
Giandro answered with difficulty.
Jurgen contacted me again the other day, and it was all because of Dan’s negative remarks.
Giandro couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Because it meant losing trust.
Soon, Jurgen’s voice came over again.
– You told me to move to China quickly, but why are you staying in Vietnam?
“I am carrying out the boss’s orders.”
– The boss’ order was to move quickly to China.
At those words, Giandro bit his lip.
It was definitely something I heard. However, Giandro could not agree to that.
“That’s just what I heard from you, I’m carrying out the orders given by the boss himself.”
– That task, I know.
While Giandro’s expression crumpled even more, the words continued over the phone.
– But there are too many things I don’t know and can’t predict. Can you really afford this?
“… … .”
Giandro couldn’t answer easily.
It wasn’t that my feelings were hurt, it was because it was really difficult to answer.
I had no idea what was about to happen, and I had no idea if I could handle it.
Even now, he was spending too much time trying to sort out the bounty.
In particular, bounty-related calls were pouring in, and I was having a lot of trouble distinguishing e-mails.
I was doing the same thing until now.
Distinguishing between lies and truth, running an anti-virus program to catch malicious programs.
Traveling around Vietnam was the same reason.
It took too much time, so I moved to erase the traces.
It was a time when Giandro could not answer.
– Target is gone in Brazil. do you know
“I know. I also got a call a few hours ago… We’re on a search. It will come out soon, and with the world wanted, you will have no choice but to hide.”
A day before the local start, as soon as it came out, a shootout took place.
Information was leaked from the Brazilian military and police.
It was clear that he would now cut off all contact and hide quietly.
I made that judgment, but Jurgen’s words were repeated.
– That’s not what I meant. Target is not in Brazil.
“… Are you saying you left?”
Giandro hesitated and asked.
Because hiding in Brazil and leaving the country were completely different issues.
– I didn’t know until I left the country, but if I left Brazil… … .
The moment you wait to see what will happen.
The heavy words touched me.
– He would have gone out with a fake passport and a disguised identity, and it would be impossible to find out right away. Just like America can’t find you.
“… … !”
Giandro’s expression hardened.
It was because he heard the words he had overlooked.
Forgery, camouflage, escape.

Looking back, it was a simple matter, and it was natural.
It was the same even though he knew his real identity and even figured out his name and body information.
I could afford to fake everything.
right in the US.
Soon, Giandro’s teeth gnashed.
