Chapter 38
Who is watching on you?
It was still a bar. Sheilor pushed open the heavy glass door, then he smelt the familiar smell of the pine nut wine and those go with wine nuts. He couldn’t help but laugh up, it looked like that even he was listed as wanted by the Federation, Shielding was reluctant to get rid of the drinking habit, from this perspective, this guy seemed to lack some good living habits of the professional agent.
This time was about eleven o’clock in the morning, the outside Coastal streets were all covered in the blizzard of the winter end, in order to shelter those like to drink in the severe winter drunkards, the bar opened the door a bit earlier than the past. But at this point of the time, the business was still very slow, and it’s relatively cold and cheerless in the bar.
Directly facing the door of the bar, on the most inside table, sat a young man, he dressed in the light grey dust coat, the hair was combed meticulously, and was lowering his head to sip the drink in small mouth.
After walked into the bar, Sheilor saw the other party in the first glance, he was in a daze, didn’t go to him immediately, but leaned on the cane, walked slowly to the table not next to him, and ordered a glass of Platinum.
The dressed in the grey dust coat man, finished his drink very soon, seemed to think about something, then knocked on the tabletop three times lightly, paid the bill, and walked to behind the bar very not caught the attention.
“Probably there is the backdoor over there.” Sheilor thought in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at the Platinum in the glass, couldn’t help but wrinkled his eyebrows. This kind of special pure high alcohol liquor, even mixed with the honeydew juice, still would be very strong. Went drinking with Shielding for that many times, he was still somewhat difficult to adapt to it.
Sat over there for about three minutes, Sheilor finally finished the transparent liquor in the glass, had a lick on his lips painfully, after handed the money to the bartender, he asked him where the bathroom was. The bartender pointed the direction for him politely, then Sheilor walked towards the back of the bar.
“It’s a pity that you are not a spy.”
Shielding’s eyes looked straight to the road ahead, this pair of didn’t know enchanted how many young ladies eyes seemed somewhat tired at this moment. It looked like that the fugitive life in these days, to this excellent spy of the anti-government army, brought the unprecedented pressure.
Sheilor narrowly moved his lips and had a smile, pressed the hat a bit lower on his head, and tightened the synthetic wool scarf around his neck a bit. The black off-road vehicle, was driving on the street of the Coastal state quietly at this time, the heating was not on, so it seemed a bit cold.
“I stole this car from Upper Field, now I don’t dare to charge it or refuel it casually, so I have to save the energy as much as possible.” Shielding clipped the cigarette on one hand, and held the steering wheel on another hand, he explained calmly.
Sheilor shrank his body on the passenger seat a bit, he opened his mouth and said after a moment, “you just said, you are the anti-government army embedded in the internal of the government… spy. But the reason why your identity was exposed, that’s because your superior was betrayed by the traitor inside of the anti-government, and involved you in. The key problem is, now the government suspects that you are the intelligence source of those militants of the Defense Department… in that assassination which happened in the Coastal state gymnasium?
Sheilor blew a mouthful of warm air on his hands, somewhat frustrated to look at the road ahead, “what a mess.”
“It’s really a mess.” Shielding pressed the cigarette off, looked straight at the snow road ahead, “my that teacher superior died too soon, he also didn’t make it clear who is the traitor inside of the organization. I checked in these days, and guessed something out faintly, but unfortunately I don’t have any evidences.” he said.
“Why do you want me to be careful of Charming?” Sheilor stared at the side of his face and asked.
“The FBI has been checking how the whereabouts of Charlie Tai is leaked out…” a share of taunt smile floated on Shielding’s face, “they checked and checked, only could check to you. The confidence, which the Tai family has on their those working personnel, seemed to be somewhat strong too excessively. Since the whereabouts of Charlie Tai was leaked out from you here, you should know it clearly, you were going to watch the concert the next day, whom you told to.”
“The New Year’s eve, I was drinking with you together, you should meet with Charming before that.” Shielding wrinkled his that pair of delicate eyebrows slightly, “I am very sure that I didn’t tell anyone about this thing… then, why the assassination action, which the hawks of the Defense Department aimed at the childe of the Tai family, would be so timely and so accurately? There is only one explanation, the information was leaked out from Charming there.”
“I know… she is a spy.” Sheilor lowered his head, the right hand stroked gently on that frozen some pains wounded leg, but he just felt all cold and firm like the cement, “she serves for the senator Medellin.”
The black off-road vehicle stopped by the roadside by the Rose riverside. Shielding turned his head, and took a look at Sheilor next tot him, said with the earnest and serious tone, “you know that she is a spy, don’t you have any other thoughts?”
“What else other thoughts I can have?” Sheilor leaned against on the car seat, his eyes looked at the front quietly, and said lonely, “I just have three friends, two of them are spies, and the one left is a marvelous big shot, I have already been numb to this kind of things.”
He suddenly turned his head around, stared at Shielding’s eyes, and said very testily, “don’t I really have the peculiarity to attract the spy?”
Shielding laughed, he knew what he wanted to ask, he shrugged his shoulders and replied, “when I began to know you, I didn’t know that your luck would be so good, you could know Charlie Tai incredibly… I believe that Charming is also the same way. The reason why we two would become your friends, probably because you have a kind of temperament which can let people trust in you?”
“Don’t say these unreliable words.” Sheilor was somewhat sad to shake his head, “what do you want me to be careful of her?”
“Charming is a very not professional girl.” Shielding said, “the problem is, those people she believes in and serves for are very professional. Those people could be able to use such a non-professional girl, then acquire the things what they want… the situation I am in right now, was caused by them, and I am afraid that you are also the pain in the ass of the other party.”
“You think… the senator Medellin is the traitor of your anti-government army?” Sheilor was shocked to look at Shielding.
Shielding had a smile, it’s full of uncertainty and self-mockery in the smile, “didn’t you watch the latest news? If looks like that this senator and comrade committee member, has already hooked up with some forces in the Federation… of course, even I go out to tell my this inference, no one would believe it. Even the leader Namsui of the Green Mountain, and the citizens of the four states surrounding the mountains, all won’t believe it.”
This one of the most successful spies of the anti-government army in the Federation, once he considered of this, he couldn’t help but had a laugh in self-mockery.
When he devoted himself into this career at the beginning, he never thought of that he would be exposed with this kind of way in the end. It seemed that it’s always the same since the ancient times, the enemy, inside of the organization is always the most cruel.
“Then what do you want to do next? Directly go back to the Green Mountain?” Sheilor was worried to look at Shielding, he asked in a soft voice, “since you have already been exposed, of course you couldn’t stay in the Federation any more.”
Encountered the mine disaster from a child, his whole family died tragically because of the numbness of the federal government bureaucrat; his teacher his boss, was
killed in that white light beam because of a certain inside story of the federal government; his friend was arrested with the fabricated charge and put into the jail, and didn’t know where he was now.
Sheilor didn’t have any good feeling for the government, so whether he knew the real identity of Charming or the real identity of Shielding, he didn’t have the psychology of any fear or conflict, he just felt shocked.
Shielding took a look at him. Since that day the director fell down from the upstairs, and died a tragic death in front of him, then he began to become a fugitive, the FBI had been listing him as wanted secretly. The runaway experience in the last tens of days was very wonderful and exciting, but he didn’t want to think of it.
After he arrived in Upper Field, he had hid for ten days. He should take the chance when the secret manhunt was getting a bit loose, to go to the Port city, and find the last contact people whom the organization left for him. However, just at that moment when he was going to leave, Shielding used the backdoor which he left in the intranet of the FBI, invaded the network of the other party, and was ready to check some information, accidentally found out… somebody was investigating Sheilor.
The thing made him feel alert was, the security level of the department, which was investigating Sheilor was very high, it directly went across the authorization of the field service, and read all the information about what Sheilor was doing in the Coastal state in the last one year. If it’s not for Shielding left a lovely small program in the intranet of the Coastal field service, then including him, all the people of the FBI wouldn’t know that somebody was investigating Sheilor.
It’s also for this reason, Shielding took the risk to contact Sheilor.
On the way to be a fugitive, any time the no necessary contact and meeting, would likely expose himself under the eyes of the government, but he still did so, no doubt this kind of choice needed the great courage. Just like when Sheilor knew the thing about him, he would return to the Coastal state without any hesitation.
The friendship between the two pot companions, in fact, was not just those wine.
“My single contact man have died, the present me, have already been very difficult to get in touch with the anti-government army of the Green Mountain again.” Shielding said in the low voice, “with my ability, as long as the Charter Bureau ignores me, then the federal government departments are very hard to catch me… the key is, what do you want to do?”
“You said that somebody was checking on me? What do I have, so they would investigate me?” Sheilor those like the knives eyebrows, once again flied up, he asked in consternation.
The confidence in Shielding’s words, gave him the great comfort. It looked like that he didn’t need to change the chip for Shielding. But the serious warning of Shielding coming up, let Sheilor thought of many horrible things, not that many government departments could go over the authorization of the FBI, but obviously, the First Charter could do it easily.
“I just want to remind you this, but I didn’t think of that you this boy would run back to her incredibly.” Shielding stared at his face and said, “don’t underestimate the ability of Charlie Tai, and also don’t reject his help for the so-called face… if you really get in trouble in the future, you must contact him in the first time.”
Sheilor silenced, but his mood had been frozen extremely cold by the ice and snow outside of the car window. If that omnipotent central computer of the Charter Bureau really paid attention to him, even the Tai family also couldn’t do him any help.
Just right at this time, the had been watching the rear view screen with the residual eyes Shielding, suddenly had his eye pupils shrunk, and stepped down the throttle to the bottom!
The wheels of the black car rolled up the snow and ice, and rushed ahead abruptly!
Shielding’s eyes stared at the pavement ahead calmly, he spoke to Sheilor by his side, “if you don’t want your another leg also destroyed, then you fasten your seatbelt. Fuck! Who has been watching on me?”
Through the rear view screen, Shielding looked at the rear of the broad street, several black cars were chasing after in high-speed, he scolded testily. He was very familiar with those black cars, they are all the government cars of the FBI.
Sheilor fastened his seatbelt very quickly, he felt the cold in his heart, and he just hoped that the one watching on Shielding and him was not the ubiquitous splendor of the First Charter.
