Jake went to open the door: “Who is it this
late… what are you doing here!”
He was talking to someone outside the door.
There was a moment of silence, and then
Brittany’s clear voice came: “Mrs. Foster, it’s
me! Please take me in.”
<
Brittany ran into my house with red eyes, sat
next to me, looking aggrieved: “Mrs. Foster, I
had a fight with my parents, and they kicked
me out. Please, let me stay for one night,
okay, I’ll go back to the team tomorrow.”
I glanced at Jake, whose face was pale, and
nodded.
Brittany and I sat on the sofa watching TV,
and Jake, who was cooking in the kitchen,
was visibly absent–minded, coming out every
now and then to take a look.
He relaxed when he saw Brittany and I getting
along.
I leaned close to Brittany’s ear and whispered
to her: “I’m pregnant, don’t tell your captain.
nored for bine !!
く
Brittany’s face turned pale instantly.
She stood up, swaying: “Mrs. Foster, I
suddenly have a headache, I’m going to sleep
first…”
I made an excuse to find pajamas for Brittany
and asked Jake to take her to the guest
room.
Assuming I had returned to the bedroom on
the second floor, Jake grabbed Brittany’s
arm.
“Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?”
Brittany leaned into Jake’s arms. “I miss you, I
want to have a baby for you…”
Jake snorted coldly: “My wife will have a baby.
L
for me in the future, why would I need you? I
warn you, be honest!”
Brittany stood on tiptoe and kissed him,
ignoring everything.
Perhaps stimulated by the news that I was
pregnant, Brittany clung to Jake.
After ten minutes, Jake ripped himself away
from Brittany: “No, I can’t, my wife is
upstairs…”
Brittany: “When she falls asleep, you can
come to me … the main bedroom is on the
second floor, she can’t hear the movement on
the first floor…”
Hearing the guest room fall silent, I knocked
on the door.
く
“Brittany, these are Jake’s pajamas, I just
bought them, he hasn’t worn them yet, do you
mind?”
Brittany smiled. “Thank you, Mrs. Foster.”
Her eyes were glued to Jake.
Jake pushed me out.
That night, Jake snuck out of the bedroom
after making sure I was asleep.
He went anyway.
Right under my nose, in our home.
As soon as he closed the door, I opened my
eyes.
The guest room went on until dawn.
I sat on the bed all night, throwing empty
cigarette packs all over the floor.
I coughed until I was in tears.
I threw the cigarettes and my feelings into the
trash can.
Tomorrow, or rather, today, everything will be
over.
When it was time to go, Jake said goodbye to
me reluctantly.
“Honey, after the mission, I will take care of
you. Wait for me!”
L
He kissed my forehead.
His car sped away, and I turned and went to
the roof.
Next to me, the person leaned over and was
so close to me.
“It’s not too late to regret it.”
I leaned back and closed my eyes.
“Captain Sean, you’re so wordy today.”
He laughed.
Soon he got serious. “Operation Decapitation
is very important. If it succeeds, it will destroy
the underground forces in the southwest. The
director asked you to take the lead, but you
L
must be safe, okay?”
I nodded, put on my equipment, and jumped.
But as soon as I entered the pre–prepared
field command, I noticed something was
wrong.
The methods of the third operator at the door
were wrong.
As I turned to escape, a dose of medicine had
been injected into my neck.
Before losing consciousness, I heard
someone say: “We finally waited for you, the
almighty intelligence analyst. Go and inform
the leader.”
As the coordinates stopped moving, the team
<
was ready.
Jake was confused: “The coordinates are so
precise? Didn’t all the informants we planted
die?”
The Captain’s voice was steady:
“It’s the intelligence analyst. She broke in and
sent the signal at the risk of her life.”
“Today’s mission is to destroy the enemy’s
nest and rescue the intelligence analyst. This
is the director’s order, and my own …
request.
Jake smiled: “It seems that this analyst and
you, Captain, have a close relationship.”
“Yes, she is very important to me. You must
く
have someone important too.”
Jake laughed, full of longing: “Yes, my wife is
my only treasure.”
Brittany sneered: “She used to be afraid of
death and hid in the back, but this time the
bonus is generous, so she came out to rob
the credit, right?”
Before the captain could get angry, Jake
spoke first: “Shut up! If it weren’t for her, our
missions wouldn’t succeed. You wouldn’t even
be alive!”
Brittany closed her mouth.
The group began walking towards the target
in the night.
L
The attacks on the perimeter went smoothly,
and when Jake and his party broke into the
warehouse, they saw the leader sitting on the
second floor, with a long–haired woman tied
up next to him.
The light was too dark to see the woman’s
face.
But strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Before he could think about it, Brittany
moaned.
“It hurts! My leg was injured, it hurts so
much!”
Through the hail of bullets, Jake was holding
Brittany, his expression gentle.
His voice was clear. “The bone is showing,
the injury is very serious. It can’t be delayed.”
Brittany burst into tears: “Blow them all up.
Jake, will I have to have my leg amputated…
I’m scared.”
“No, Captain, we have to capture the leader
alive. What’s more, the intelligence officer is
there!”
Brittany’s painful moan drowned out the
voices of the others.
“Jake, save me! Aren’t I more important than
the analyst?”
Jake looked at the direction of the leader.
