Act.10
On August 2003, 8, the United Nations office in Iraq was attacked by a car bomb, killing at least 19 people and injuring more than 10.UN Special Representative to Iraq Killed in Explosion...
On August 8, the death toll rose to 20.
The entourage of the British ambassador to Iraq, Charles Xavier, a Circus agent, was seriously injured and rushed to the British cruiser stationed in the Persian Gulf.
"How is he?" The ambassador was shocked, because this was the first time that the United Nations envoy visited Baghdad after the U.S. and British allied forces bypassed the United Nations to attack Iraq, and this happened.
The CIA and the Circus are to blame this time.
"The whole body is full of shrapnel, and the knees are not optimistic." The military doctor on board said that the medical level here is too poor and suggested that the wounded should return to the mainland for treatment.
The ambassador remembered that the agent had beautiful blue eyes, but at this moment they were tightly closed under the pressure of the oxygen mask.

"Hey, Charles, how are you today." Eric walked into the ward, and put the motorcycle helmet on the single sofa at the door.
"Morning, Eric." Charles sat on the bed, his body leaning forward, and his back was a bit stiff after lying down all night, so he didn't want to lean on the upright pillow, and the infusion tube on his arm was also because of him It was obvious that Eric came a little early, and Charles hadn't finished his nutrient solution and medicine in the morning, "Not bad." Charles smiled, but in fact his knee still hurts, and he always It was a constant reminder to him that they were annoying.
Eric saw that Charles was looking at him expectantly, walked over, and tapped his head with something in his hand, your book.
Charles took them like a treasure.One is "Lies and Liars: A Fair and Unbiased Look at the Right" by Al Franken, which just went on sale today, and the other is just published this year and is very popular. The Finch Code".
"Oh, Eric, thank you." Charles shook the "Da Vinci Code" in his hand, as if to say: Mr. Lanshere, do you treat me like a child?Luckily it's not Harry Potter.
Eric smiled helplessly, put the boring book satirizing the rightists that Charles was holding in his arms on the small bedside cabinet of Charles, and tidied the pillows behind him for Charles, "You should read some light books. "
"No, how do you know that Frank Ken's book is boring, he is an Emmy Award-winning comedian." Charles looked up at Eric who was standing beside his bed, "Hey, what kind of eyes do you have, A comedian can be a political writer too, and he's a Democrat. Don't laugh!"
"Cough, I didn't laugh." Eric glanced at Charles's nutrient solution, there was still a little bit, and he counted the time.Then pull over the accompanying bed chair.
"Remember Hank?"
"Well, he's yours."
"But I remember that I lost the bet, and he should belong to you. You can't repay me for saving your life."
"I'm not so stingy. Sending an assistant is just repaying you. I talked to him. Hank prefers to work under you."
"That's about it, I'm a good leader."
"Yes yes yes. Do you want to play chess?"
"of course."

Pete Sullivan re-examined the server receiving system on the day Kenneth sent back the message, and recovered the deleted message.
Thus he also learned that there was a ghost in the Circus.Looking back on that night, he remembered that both Eric and Rocky were there, that Rocky was working overtime, and Eric took his things and left.
Pete is dealing with a new network hacker attack on the website of the City of London. Tired of looking at the code, he intends to have a sip of coffee, but finds that the coffee machine in his office is broken.As he walked to the break room, the clock in the work area just struck 11 o'clock, he went to the bathroom, and when he came back, Eric made instant coffee for him and Rocky.
It was only 11:15 at that time, and the information was sent at 17:[-], and it was deleted immediately. Then, after he returned to the office, what happened in the work area?
He then finds out that the monitor video was also deleted, and it will take longer to restore it, maybe he can learn something from another source?While thinking about it, Pete dragged the progress bar of the monitoring video aimlessly, switching the screens of each monitor.Suddenly he saw Eric crying in the dark. Although he couldn't see his tears clearly, the movements of wiping the tears with the back of his hand and pressing the corners of his eyes with his ring finger were still obvious.
Pete looked at the time, it was the night Charles was killed.

"Hey, beauty, can you do me a favor and push me to the shaded window?" Charles stopped a nurse with a smile, and made a fanning gesture, "It's hot here, I need sunshine but it doesn't Oven is needed."
Seeing Charles's innocent expression, the nurse pushed him up and chatted with him, "Who put you here?"
"Oh! It's a bastard who is busy chatting with beautiful women." Charles made a vicious threatening gesture to express his dissatisfaction. There was a slope ahead, and he couldn't push himself up it alone.
The female nurse giggled, "Then he really made a big mistake."
Charles raised his head, ready to say something to the nurse, but the nurse also lowered her head, and Charles suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, your eyes are yellow, so beautiful."
The female nurse wanted to say that the blue in front of her eyes was actually the most beautiful color she had ever seen, but was stopped by a pair of big hands.
"Charles, I just heard you speak ill of me."
"I don't."
Eric didn't believe him, so he turned to the nurse and said, "Thank you," Eric glanced at the nurse's badge, "Riwen, I'll take care of the rest."
"Okay," Eric saw Ruiwen walking away, and continued to press, "What did you do just now?"
"It's nothing, I'm just asking this kind nurse to push me to a cooler place, you know it's the beginning of September! At the hottest time, are you throwing a poor patient by the burning window for murder? ?”
"Poor?" Eric chuckled. "Charles, I very much suspect that you are ruining my reputation and ruining our bet."
"Oh? Are you so unsure of your own charm?"
"As long as you don't destroy it, remember you promised me."
"Okay, okay, but I have to say that you have nothing to gain now and I already have three admirers. If your accusation is out of jealousy and unwillingness, then I forgive you." Charles smiled slyly and was caught The days of being stuck in the hospital are not so difficult.
"Well, it can't be ruled out that they are overflowing with maternal love."
"what?"
"It's nothing."
"I hear you, Eric."
"You didn't hear anything, do you want to play chess?"
Eric just reported the doctor's diagnosis of Charles to the boss, and Charles may no longer be able to perform high-intensity spy missions, but he rejected the boss's proposal to discuss future stay with Charles.
Charles smiled brightly, but Eric knew what kind of expression Charles would show when he was alone. Charles kept silent about his injuries, but Eric knew that Charles' knees were aching every day and every night. .
He killed Charles, and Eric and the ambassador were supposed to be closer to the explosives-laden car at the scene of the explosion, but no one could see when Charles jumped in front of them and blocked most of the debris for them, and then the heat wave pushed Then they fell into the moat dug for defense.
He killed the most promising agent of the Circus, the boss's most proud protégé, because he had already received information that the Iraqi reactionary organization was planning an attack. He informed the CIA opponents of the incident, but he did not expect the attack to come like this. Sudden.
"You're wandering, Eric."
"Sorry, I was thinking about business just now."
"Hey, don't tell me, I don't want to be bothered by this kind of thing during my rare vacation." Parallel departments in the Circus never discuss their work outside of regular meetings.Charles complied well, but Eric felt that he had already expected that his future work would be different from the previous ones, so he deliberately avoided these topics.
"The new building is about to be built. You should be able to see it when you can leave." Eric dropped his eyes and looked up at Charles who was nestled in the mattress and pillows. The only light source in the ward, Charles' face was hidden in the shadows, his expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were shining with a glimmer of light.
"Wow, that reminds the boss to give me the warmest office."
Then both of them laughed.
That winter, at the celebratory dinner for the completion of the new building, Mycroft brought Greg to appear in front of everyone for the first time; Sherlock stood on the balcony outside the house smoking a cigarette, watching the house clamoring for Greg to sing a song. After a while, Loki also ran out, "Borrow me a fire." But Sherlock said that he didn't bring a lighter today, and the match he used just happened to be the last one.
Loki snorted, pulled out the one in Sherlock's mouth, put it in his own mouth, and took a deep breath, "It tastes good."
Their respective team members also gathered together drinking wine and laughing loudly, FDR put his arms around Kenneth, maybe telling some dirty jokes, was spanked by Kenneth, and then FDR pushed Kenneth away, He drew out a "light saber" and shouted "Obi-Wan, die." Kenneth also made the same gesture to fight him.
At this time Pete passed between the two, paused and looked at FDR, said something that no one could hear clearly, FDR immediately put away the foolishness just now and sat back to drink dull wine honestly, while Kenneth looked at Pete's back Thumbs up, then ran back to FDR and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Charles followed the boss in, just like before.
Then the boss went to the dining table and scolded that Pete's gin pudding soft drink tasted wrong, and then mumbled and poured another big bottle into it.Kenneth gloated and stabbed FDR, but FDR ran over to comfort Pete in a very doggy manner.
Sherlock snatched the cigarette out of Loki's mouth, smoked the last puff, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, while Loki snorted coldly and went into the room first.
Charles looked at the ceiling, found the air outlet of the central air conditioner, and asked Hank to help him put the chair there because it was warmer there.
Eric walked in, greeted everyone he knew, and came down to Mycroft surrounded by the crowd. Mycroft introduced Greg to Eric, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner .
Then Eric came to Charles with a cocktail and a glass of ginger ale, glanced at Hank who was dragged away by Alex to pick food and talk about beauties, and said, "He's a good boy."
"Yes."
When Eric looked away, he saw Irene in a white evening dress sitting there, surrounded by a group of men who wanted to strike up a conversation with her but dared not. Eric nodded slightly to her, and Irene raised her high Foot Cup smiled at Charles from the air.
"You are still more attractive." Eric turned his head and looked at Charles who was also smiling at Irene.
Charles shrugged, "Maybe it's because of her overflowing maternal feelings."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing."
"I heard you, Charles." Eric laughed, and the conversation seemed familiar.
"You didn't hear anything." Charles raised his head and smiled brightly at Eric.
