sarajevo sniper

The licentious life lasted until the evening, not only missed lunch, but also did not eat dinner.It wasn't until the next morning that Walter, who was panicked because Leto had been missing for a whole day, found them in the apartment.It was an unfortunate coincidence that the orderly came. Linnai had just woken up. As soon as Walter entered the door, he saw the sniper with only a pair of underwear on him wandering out of the bathroom, dragging the colonel of the Bosnian government army to kiss at the dinner table.Fortunately, Leto used his nightgown to block Linnai out of his haste, so the scene didn't look so embarrassing.

"At least you should go to the office to show your face. Several groups of people have come to look for you and can't find you." Walter grumbled and complained to his boss: "The phone in the office has been ringing and has never stopped. There are people everywhere above and below. Looking for you, people from the media, the government, civil organizations and even the United Nations... the secretary's head is too big. This battle was too high-profile. It bombed the plane and opened the armor, and killed a leader of the People's Army Will, always give an explanation to the outsiders. You are good, and you still have time to play."

Leto could sense the resentment of his subordinates: "I want to rest too. After fighting for five hours, even a god should rest."

"Are you resting?" Walter stared at the red and purple hickeys on his neck.

Leto had no choice but to show the majesty of his boss: "This is my private life, child, don't question me."

Walter could only ask Linnai for help: "We need him. He is a big hit now, and the TV stations are waiting in line to interview him. The last time Bosnia and Herzegovina won Serbia did not know that it was centuries ago. Victory in World War I is also a great boost to morale. The higher-ups even started discussing whether to give him a promotion, and he can't stay here at this juncture."

"He is a free man, I can't control him." Linnai joked.

Walter was also a little angry.He put the lunch box he had brought back into the bag and refused to serve them food.Lin Nai just accepted it when he saw it: "Okay, we won't leave work alone forever. In your dear colonel's heart, work is still the first. Don't worry. He just doesn't like showing off and entertaining the army. Those old men."

Leto was still drinking coffee: "I will go back to the office in the afternoon. Let Leokovich help me arrange the itinerary. The most important thing is at the top. But I don't see the media right now, none of them, so push them all away."

"Why?" Walter thought this was an excellent opportunity for publicity.

"Because I don't have permission yet." Leto explained patiently: "I always have to meet the people above first, and talk to them before I can speak to the outside world. Otherwise, those old men will be mad. Besides, I still need to I hold some bargaining chips in my hands and negotiate terms with them in order to realize my own wish. They plan to change my title and dismiss me, calling it a promotion, which is a good idea."

"Aren't you going to accept an order for promotion?"

"No, I am very satisfied with my current position and responsibilities."

"Then what terms do you want to talk about?"

"You children don't care about adults' affairs. Just tell Liaokovich to arrange for me to meet the old man as soon as possible."

Walter couldn't help it, he thought of another thing: "Oh yes, a man named Mario called. He asked me to tell you that his mission is over, so he plans to go home. He asks you to pay him his salary as soon as possible, and he waits for the money. Who is this person? How does he know the internal number of your office? He speaks in a rough voice, and he doesn’t even say hello when he calls. It’s very rude. one person."

Lin Nai listened with pricked ears, and his expression immediately changed: "Mario knows you? What's going on?"

Leto knew that sooner or later he would reveal his secrets, and he was not worried about being asked by Lin Nai: "You didn't ask me, so I didn't remember to say it. He is a friend I met a long time ago. He also served in the People's Army before. Later, the scapegoat was dismissed, and the situation was difficult, so I helped him out and introduced him to the Mercenary Corps."

"Huh?" Lin Nai smiled, dragging his cheeks: "Since he is a member of the Mercenary Corps, the Corps should pay his salary. Why is it your turn to pay for it? Can you explain why he knows me?"

Leto was a little helpless: "Well, I admit it, I put him by your side. I think you should have a helper. You were demoted to the border, that place is so dangerous, no one knows if there will be No matter what the accident, it is always a good thing to have an extra helper. Firstly, it can guarantee your safety, and secondly, I can also know your situation at any time. "

Lin Nai couldn't laugh or cry.He always thought that meeting Mario was a "coincidence", an "accident".In the third month after he was demoted to the Border Patrol Battalion, a down-and-out Romanian appeared in the forest. He may not have eaten for several days, and wanted to kill a young deer to feed his hunger, but Linnaeus took the lead.Lin Nai took the initiative to give him the deer. The mercenary said that he had entered Serbia by smuggling. In order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he got lost in the forest and could not get out.

Lin Nai also believed such an unverifiable story, and he helped Mario for a while.The two lived in Linnai's cabin, patrolled and hunted together during the day, and Mario would tell him stories about his hometown at night.The life in the valley forest is lonely, hopeless and endless. Being alone for a long time will inevitably affect people's mental health. In addition, Linnai was directly knocked down from the peak of his life to the bottom of the valley, which will inevitably lead to frustration. The appearance of Mario eased his loneliness and loss.Even though they didn't know each other at all, Linnai was still fortunate to have met such a friend during the short time they spent together.

At that time, he really thought, God didn't mean to drive him to a dead end.He closed a door, and indeed left a window.

Unexpectedly, the so-called "miracle" turned out to be "man-made".

"I just want you to have a better life. I know you are not someone who is easily crushed by setbacks, but facing setbacks alone is completely different from two people." Leto said patiently: " I can't help you avoid setbacks, after all, I'm not a god, and life will inevitably have setbacks, but at least I can guarantee that you won't be alone when facing it."

Lin Nai bent his lips. In front of Walter, he couldn't be too provocative, so he reached out and shook his lover's hand under the table: "But this is the last time," he emphasized semi-warningly: " I don't like being followed, if you want to know how I am, you can just ask me, if I need help, I will seek help myself."

Leto agreed: "Of course, I promise this will be the last time."

Lin Nai softened his expression: "Thank you anyway."

"It's my pleasure."

Walter ate his eggs with his head down. He thought it best not to interfere with his boss's feelings.Although he could probably guess Leto's unusual feelings for Linnai, seeing the scene of two people embracing and kissing was still a big shock to a newly grown Muslim.He is very contradictory. Islam does not recognize people with same-sex orientation, but Allah also says to oppose narrow-mindedness and extremes and accept different civilizations and cultures.If he can accept Linnai, a Serb who is a hostile nation, and the Serbian culture and nationality represented by Linnai, then he should also be able to accept a homosexual.It doesn't make a difference does it?

His dream of Sarajevo is a harmonious but different world. Since people of different beliefs can be accommodated here, and a mosque and a cross church can be built on the same street at the same time, a homosexual and a heterosexual should also be able to walk in the same posture. on a street.This is the true meaning of Sarajevo, and this is the most beautiful place in it.If Walter yearns for such a Sarajevo, then he should also become a more inclusive and open person for the city he yearns for.Because what a city is like depends on what kind of people live in it.

The little orderly put down the tableware courageously, and looked squarely at the gay couple sitting in front of him: "You... have you made up your mind? So, are you really planning to take a man as your partner?"

Lin Nai pointed at him with a fork unceremoniously: "Take care of your own business, orderly, you are not qualified to let me decide who will be my partner. As long as I don't hinder you, this is my freedom."

"Linnai, he is a Muslim." Leto reminded kindly.He believes that homosexuals should also respect Islamic culture: "If our Mr. Walter decides not to accept homosexuality, I think this is also his freedom and right."

Lin Nai raised his eyebrows: "I neither raped you directly in front of him, nor did I dress up as a woman to harass him. Just now he came in without knocking on the door and saw other people's private lives. How can you blame me?"

Leto also said that Walter had to intervene to smooth things over: "I didn't say I didn't accept it. Hey, don't argue, we are all vulnerable groups—Islamic, homosexual, ethnic minorities, we have finally recovered from the battlefield. Survive to sit at the same table and eat, we should all scold those straight Anglo-Saxon fair-skinned middle-aged men. Unite! Gentlemen, unite!"

Breakfast thus ended in an atmosphere of unity.Leto started working in the afternoon, so there was still a morning for Linnai and him.He decides to go out and dismisses Walter as the driver and uses a bus instead.

The time they went out was in rush hour, and the line at the station was very long, and the two managed to squeeze into a tram, because it was overcrowded, and the colonel had to hold the hand of the sniper and stand by the window , the window reflected their cuddling posture, like an intimate embrace.

Linnai's whole body was almost pressed against Leto's chest: "I haven't been on a tram for at least ten years."

"Trams and buses can always bring a bit of vitality to this dead city." Leto said with a smile: "You can't see so many people anywhere now. The war seems to have no effect on them."

Nobody pays attention to them because everyone is busy with their own business.The old man and his companions carrying a vegetable basket complained loudly that their daughter-in-law was lazy and ugly, and she was really not good enough for her precious son; the female student flipped through the English vocabulary book in her hand, her awkward accent sounded strange and cute, but the whole 10 She has been stuck on "ability" for a few minutes, and she seems to be under a lot of pressure; it seems that the man engaged in engineering work is carefully hiding under the steps of the back door in order to prevent the dust from his overalls from staining the lady's padded jacket, but he is really a little Too fat, the door creaked in protest under his pressure.

Linnai has not been stuffed into such a fragment of life for a long time. His life is unrealistic. He is engaged in a high-risk occupation, and it can even be said to be a marginal occupation. The environment he comes into contact with is not something that ordinary people will come into contact with. environment, he is also more adapted to cruel and extreme scenes.Once he is placed in the background of ordinary people's life, he seems a bit cramped and out of place.The soldier was even a little worried whether his voice would frighten the old man if his voice was a little louder.

But Linnai likes it. He likes to be an "ordinary person". Labeling, even the word "special forces" itself means that he is an "elite" among the military.He rarely has the opportunity to be treated as an ordinary person, and the ups and downs of his career made Linnai understand that in the end he is still an ordinary person, and he also needs to learn to accept that he is an ordinary person.

"So, are you just going to take me out to experience life, or do we have other programs?" Lin Nai was curious.

Leto looked at the downtown market not far from the car window: "Actually, I plan to take you out...to go shopping."

"Shopping?" Linnai never went shopping.

The tram stopped at this time, and the radio announced the station in a soft voice——

"You are arriving at Latinska station now, you are arriving at Latinska station now, please get off as soon as possible for passengers who need to get off."

Leto took his hand through the crowd and walked to the outside world: "Let's go. We still have important things to do."
