sarajevo sniper

The hostage's eyes lit up when he saw Leto, but he wisely didn't call for someone immediately, and only signaled the colonel with his eyes.

Leto looked calm: "Sir, don't get excited. I just want to remind you that it's best not to get too close to the vehicle. There was an explosion just now. Your car has been crashed. If a little oil comes out of the fuel tank and attracts the flames, what will you do next?" It will be smashed to pieces."

The transport soldier was startled, and hurriedly took two steps forward.He could tell that Leto was the one with the right to speak in the "security regiment": "Stand back! Tell them to stop, and I won't kill anyone, otherwise, I'll shoot right away."

Leto sighed and shook his head: "We are here to rob goods. This person may be your treasure, but he has no value at all in my eyes."

The transportation soldier was taken aback by him.In fact, he has no authority to kill the hostage in his hand. This is a hostage that the Serbian President once valued, and it is not yet the turn of a small transport soldier to make a decision.At this time, he was a little hesitant, wondering if he should leave the hostages and escape.

At such a moment of hesitation, Leto had already raised his gun.The whole process from raising the gun to aiming to shooting was without any interruption, as if he had done this countless times, the eyes of the transport soldier were blasted by the sparks flashed, the bullet hit his hand, and he backed away with a howl In two steps, the hostage broke free from his grasp.

Leto wanted to refill the gun, but felt a burning sensation in his ear, and the bullet grazed his hair from behind and shot into the transport soldier's neck.The metal bullet directly tore open the artery, and a waterfall of fresh blood spilled out in a fan shape.The transport soldier fell into a pool of his own blood, and his pale face was soon soaked and red with blood, like a beast that had just been bled.

Leto turned his head, and the Serbian sniper, standing 200 meters away from him, winked at him.

"Oh, thank you so much, Leto," the hostage and the colonel embraced, "God bless, I never expected to see you again, my best friend."

The colonel showed a gratified smile: "We are destined to meet again, Eric."

"That's..." Eric Blanclavau pointed to the sniper behind them.

The colonel gave a brief introduction: "That's Linnaeus Lev."

"It doesn't look like one of ours. Is it your subordinate?"

"No, he's a Serbian."

Eric was surprised.The colonel didn't have time to explain: "Leave first, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

The hostages were rescued successfully, and Leto didn't want to fight, calling for the armed personnel to retreat.They loaded the vehicles with looted supplies, blew up the rest of the vehicles, and drove away.The fire from the thermite grenade ① illuminated the entire mountain forest, echoing the festive lights in the distant Serb gathering area. At this time, the festive atmosphere is still strong. When the news of the hijacking of the transport team spreads, it will not be until midnight at the earliest. up.

On the way back to the garrison headquarters, the two friends finally had the opportunity to say a few words——

"I contacted your mother, she is very happy to know that you are still alive and healthy. But today there is no way to send you home. From what we know, it seems that everyone with the surname Brown Lavaux has moved to Zagorje. At this season, let alone going abroad, going out from Sarajevo is also a troublesome thing. I also want you to stay with me for a while, and when the limelight comes over, I will find a way to send you back to Croatia." Leto gave a simple explanation.

Eric expressed his understanding: "Okay, everything is up to you... you can arrange it."

He spoke very little, and still stammered a little. There was no excitement of being rescued in his expression, only the slightly trembling fingers on his knees could reveal nervousness.Linnai has seen such people. After enduring abuse in prison for a long time, they become nervous, cautious and habitually fearful, like a frightened bird. This is a side effect of the soul being kissed by Judas.

The only request from the Croatian gentleman was to write letters to his family: "Is mother okay? Is my Luisa (Eric's sister) married? I really have a lot to say to them, and I want them to feel at ease. .”

"It's not difficult," Leto promised him. "Just let the messenger take it with you. They're all well. Luisa is getting engaged. You'll like her fiancé. He's an upright deacon, an optimistic kind-hearted man." people."

"That's good... that's good..." Eric nodded his head.

The atmosphere seemed a little silent.I don't know if it's because Lin Nai is also in the car, but the Croatian has always been cautious. He looked at the sniper with calm and strict eyes.Interestingly, there are now a Serb, a Bosnian, a Croat, and a Muslim (Walter) sitting in this narrow carriage. , and restore as vividly as possible the deadlock of the peninsula throughout the centuries.

Leto kindly broke the embarrassment: "Eric, Linnai is not the enemy. He participated in the formulation and execution of the entire rescue plan. Without him, we would have nothing to do with the sentinel snipers on the mountain."

The Croat's eyes softened slightly.But Lin Nai didn't accept this, and shrank indifferently into the shadows in the corner.

"Is he the one..." Eric seemed to think of something.

Leto nodded: "Yes. He is."

Lin Nai looked a little impatient.He couldn't figure out what charade was playing between the two men.

But Eric's attitude was obviously relaxed: "You... hello, Eric Brownlavov." He shook hands with Linnai and expressed his thanks: "To be honest, the Serbs let me eat... eat I suffered a lot, but I didn’t expect that the Serbs saved me in the end. This is probably the Lord’s arrangement. Anyway, may the Lord bless you.”

He was a devout Orthodox Christian, as was the whole Blanc Lavaux family.But Linnai didn't care about his beliefs: "Your Lord best bless you to return to Croatia safely, and don't worry about the rest."

Eric was taken aback by his indifference, and quickly shut his mouth.

Leto gave Linnai a reproachful look: "Honey, our friend has been in jail, you should be gentle with him."

Lin Nai ignored him.The colonel shook his best friend's hand: "You are safe, Ali."

"It's like a dream..." The Croatian still hasn't adjusted to reality.

"Then consider it a nightmare, now is the time to wake up."

"They won't let me go easily..."

"The People's Army can only suffer from being dumb this time. No one knows their transportation mission tonight. Even if he himself admits that there is a transportation mission today, there is no evidence that any government army participated in the hijacking operation. We robbed the goods, The biggest possibility is the chaos caused by the security forces. As for your disappearance, it can only mean that you took advantage of the chaos to escape, but it can’t explain anything. Everyone who followed you tonight is dead, and no one will say that you were killed Hijacked away."

"You... are you sure?"

Leto was even a little arrogant: "They don't dare to easily blame others for things without evidence. Even Milosevic, he can't accuse the government army of taking hostages for no reason. This is a joke. "

The Croat nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.His expression fell into confusion and loss, and he couldn't help recalling the experiences of the past few years: "At the beginning... At the beginning, I couldn't communicate with the outside world, and I didn't even know where I was. I know what I know. They will tell me... tell me the outside situation, say that my father and mother are getting worse, and that my sister has been arrested. I can't tell the truth from the fake. Forget it. If it weren’t for the persuasion of a few old people who suffered together, you wouldn’t be able to see me now.”

This is human nature, and Leto can understand: "The situation got better afterward?"

"After I was transferred to Tuzla... I got better. The management here is relatively loose. If the soldiers get some small favors, they are willing to take care of me..."

"You should pass on the news earlier, so that we can rescue you earlier."

"I... I didn't think so much..."

Leto knew that he was emotionally unstable now, and he didn't force it.During the second half of the journey, they hardly spoke. Eric, the little animal who had weathered the wind and rain, finally returned to his cave. Sometimes he looked at the scenery outside the window curiously, and sometimes he seemed not interested in anything. Hugging him to his chest all the time, both Leto and Linnai knew that he was not cold, but just afraid of being approached.

After returning to the garrison headquarters, Leto ordered the orderlies to send the Croats to a doctor first.Lin Nai followed him back to the air-raid shelter office, and the two remained silent in a tacit understanding.It wasn't until the office door was closed that Leto asked—

"What's on your mind, just say it."

Lin Nai squinted at him: "I just want to remind you that the 'captive' rescued from the enemy must be interrogated and declassified according to normal national security procedures to ensure that he has not been brainwashed or has other secrets. He is your Your friend is indeed right, but now is not the time to talk about friendship, if you don’t want to be accused of obstructing national security one day, he must be dealt with by the National Security Agency.”

Leto frowned: "You want to say that he might already be a Serbian spy?"

"He spent three years in the Serbian military camp." Linnaeus pointed out the facts.

"He has just been released from prison, and now is not the right time. I understand what you said, but immediately hand him over to the National Security Agency. He cannot withstand the long interrogation and declassification process."

"Then if the relevant unit asks you why you didn't hand over the person in the first place, you'd better think of an excuse."

Leto frowned, and said in a curious tone: "Linnai, do you have any friends?"

Lin Nai was baffled.

"If it was Roman Markotswicky, your best comrade-in-arms stayed in the enemy camp for three years, would you hand him over to the National Security Agency as soon as you rescued him?" Leto asked back.

Lin Nai said firmly: "Roman himself will apply for it as soon as possible."

Leto was not at all surprised by this answer: "You don't look like a veteran, Linnai, and sometimes I even think you look like a recruit." He smiled and said, "Do you know why everyone doesn't like veterans? Because veterans have seen The cruelty of war, after seeing life and death, they began to be humane, conscientious, and have their own judgment, and then they began to question military orders, question their superiors, and even act alone, according to their own sense of justice. Controlled behavior and thoughts are the last thing the state apparatus likes and needs. We only want obedient weapons.”

Lin Nai understood what he meant: "I'm just reporting discipline."

"Yes, I understand, you are not wrong." Leto approached him and stroked his cheek: "It's just that you make me feel that no matter when you always think of this country, the safety of this country first. Instead, you seem to be It's hard to have feelings for people around you, Linnai, a person with feelings doesn't think of national security discipline first when a friend is just out of prison."

"It's up to you to decide, I'm just reminding you."

"Then why are you reminding me?"

"What do you mean?"

Leto touched his hair with his fingertips: "If I am accused, shouldn't you be the happiest? Do you care about me?"

Lin Nai knew what he wanted to say.He smiled lowly: "You are too self-indulgent."

"Anyway, you saved my life today." The colonel was referring to Lin Nai's replacement of the gun transporter: "How should I thank you?"

The distance between them is less than five centimeters.Lin Nai looked down at his lips: "Give me a legal identity document, and then let your soldiers drive me out of Sarajevo, and I will take your kindness for now."

"So anxious?" Leto lowered his voice, "What about the fateful drama between us?"

"Only you die, I don't want to die. Besides, anyone who has a pervert around him will be anxious." Linnai raised the corners of his eyes, and this expression was only sexy.

The eyelashes of the two people were close to touching each other, and Linnai could feel Leto's breath: "Linnai, you must know that your appearance, your personality, and your sense of professionalism are very important to many people. , has a fatal attraction."

Lin Nai did not refuse his ambiguous flirting.Leto raised his chin: "From the moment you touched the gun today, I've been thinking, you are beautiful."

Then he kissed it.A brief but deep kiss.

Lin Nai was expressionless.Leto looked at his wet lips with satisfaction, and stood up: "The documents will have to wait for two days, and you are tired today, so go to bed early. Good night."

He went to take a shower in the lounge by himself.As soon as the door was closed, Lin Nai lowered her eyelashes and touched the place where she had just been kissed with her hand.
