【线路二·Chapter 10】
大家围着桌子坐了下来,早饭虽然简单,几片土司,牛奶,麦片,但却是那样的可口。
大家在一起有说有笑的,Nikita想起了他和她曾经约定的homequarters,原来它一直在这里。突然很感动,她想,之后的日子里,她不会再有所顾忌,因为她,从来没有一刻是不属于这里的。

“Beep! Beep!”Shadow-net发出声响,好像迫不及待的提醒他们它发现了可疑的东西,在邀功呢~
“Hey, guys! We think we might have found a lead.”Sonya说,大家一齐凑到了电脑前。
“Birkoff, 你就不能收拾收拾你这个烂摊子?”看到电脑桌上全是什么他喝到一半的Energy啊红牛啊什么的瓶瓶罐罐,Alex不由的感叹道。
“噗嗤”一声,Nikita笑了,“好久”不见的他们还是好久以前记忆里的他们。
“Right.”Birkoff无奈的应了一声,然后坐在电脑前一阵猛烈的敲打着键盘,“Shadow-net has found an unknown portal on this pad. And it is a receiving portal purely, which means that the user can’t track down the people who send the message from this portal.”
“It should be Amanda.”Nikita说道,“Guzman said that Amanda contacted him
before, that’s why he recognized me.”
“Judging from the characteristics of this portal, and the series of data it left behind,”Birkoff继续着他的分析,“Clearly, it’s from Shop.”
“Then, it must be Amanda.”Ryan接到,“But how does Amanda get to know the IP
for this pad?”不愧是顶级的data analyst,总能想到常人容易忽略的一面。
“So there must be a mole.”Alex说道,“And it must be someone whose security
level is high enough that can have access to Guzman’s pad.”
“Whitfield said that Guzman didn't really trust his second post in the Cartel, but he trusted his guard more.”Nikita把自己知道的情报说了出来,既然已经决定要一起奋战,又何必有所隐瞒,“but the pad is always with Guzman himself.”
“It must be either one of them.”Michael说道。
“Wait,”Sonya突然插话道,“Birkoff, see this.”Sonya突然拉出来另外一条数据记录,“I think we can track this down. I think this will lead us to the invisible net used by the Shop, or just Amanda.”
“But that will expose us right?”Nikita突然问道,“We can’t take such a huge risk.”她不同意他们这么做,万一暴露了这个safe house怎么办?大家的安危不又因为她而受到严重的威胁,让她再次承受那么大的痛苦,她,做不到。
Birkoff默不作声,没有同意Nikita,也没有说他要去track that lead.
“Then, what other ways can we make use of this lead?”Alex问道。
讨论似乎陷入的僵局,就在这时,Alex的手机突然响了起来,“Sorry, UN mission.”她赶忙接起电话,边打着电话,边向外面走去。
“Or I go to Panama to find out from them personally…”Nikita突然offer到。
“No. Don’t you ever think like that.”Michael未等Nikita说完便打断了她。他不要她去冒险,她不要他再离开他的视线一步。
“Then, how are we going to make use of this lead? I can use the information on this pad, and threaten them to leak this to Interpol. I don’t think the cartel people dare to do anything to me.” Nikita disagreed. They always held different opinions on this kind of thing. Or we should say, they never agreed on this kind of thing.
“I’m not worried about them being the cartel people. Nikita, they are the Shop, remember?”Michael sighed.
“They are also the cartel people, Michael. To protect their benefit, they won’t dare to take the risk of being exposed.”Nikita不同意Michael的看法,她想那些cartel的人如果把她交给shop那她就要把他们曝光给国际警察,他们应该不会愿意的吧。可是,谁也拿不准Shop的人到底葫芦里卖的是什么药。
“No.”Michael依然毅然决然的拒绝了Nikita的这个提议。他至始至终担心的都只有她,他不会同意她做这么冒险的事情。
“Hey, guys!”Alex从外面打完电话走了回来,“I just got an offer that I can
go to Mexico, cos the cartels there were having a little bit troubles with each
other.”
“Then, we can go together.”Nikita接着Alex讲,“We can disguise as the UN people, and find the info we need.”
“Then we go there together.”Michael做出了妥协。He gave in. Again.
Nikita的脸上露出了那熟悉的得意的笑容。他,总还是让着她的。
“We are going to leave in 5 days.”Alex说道。
接下来的一天,只是又看了看pad上面其他的消息,找到一些Guzman的clientele的消息,也就没有什么很special的了。看来在做生意和做人这方面,Guzman还真是一位让人信服的领导,只可惜他做的不是正道生意罢了。
晚上,大家一起吃过晚饭后,都各自消遣去了。再忙碌的一天,都要留一些时间留给自己和爱人。
“Can you drive me to the other side?”Nikita问Michael,“I want to take a good look at this city before we leave.”
