Chapter 11 Act.11
Act.11
FDR has a mobile phone, which he found in his backpack when he escaped from the warehouse where Sullivan kidnapped him that day. He doesn't know when Pete put it in his bag, but he knows his purpose for doing it— — Tracking — when FDR wanted to be "found" by Pete.
Now, he returned to the warehouse that night, dug out the phone he had packed from under a pile of trash, and turned it on.
Here, Pete Sullivan sent someone to call Sherlock to meeting room No. [-]—he was not as fond of the stone room as the boss. There's Eric and Rocky.
Loki frowned and fiddled with his phone, probably because he had received some terribly stupid information and was in a bad mood; Eric leaned on the back of his chair and smiled at him.
Sherlock said to Mycroft that he doubted why Eric arrived earlier than everyone else on the night of January 1th, and whether he was the insider, Mycroft slowly denied his claim , "He was at Lestrade that night." So Sherlock immediately thought of the coin in the monitor, and the weird friendship between Eric and Greg - he hadn't heard of them in the club. Those weird drunken shams I've done.
Sherlock remembered patting Mycroft on the shoulder with feigned regret.
Pete smiled and asked Sherlock to sit down, "What have you been up to lately?"
Sherlock glanced at Pete, "Didn't you hear it at the regular meeting, idiot" flashed across his face, then put on a hypocritical smirk, and looked at Pete.
"I am monitoring a group of Moroccans." On March 2003, 3, a train station in Madrid, the capital of Spain, exploded. The police suspected that it was done by Moroccan terrorists. Recently, there are signs that they fled to London.
"Oh, you mean a group of Arabs living in Africa have now fled to London?"
Sherlock didn't answer.
"How about we talk about FDR?"
"FDR? Oh, he's very good. He now drinks afternoon tea with me every day and goes to the club at night. If you really want to find him, you can ask your golden retriever?" Sherlock laughed, and Eric on the opposite side also listened. Understanding his joke, he turned his head to the side and covered his mouth with his fist and laughed out loud.
Pete slapped the table, "I'm not joking with you, he is your subordinate, or a defected agent who took the life of an agent, if you insist that you have contact with him, then I can put you in jail at any time. "
Seeing Pete and him being tough, Sherlock put away his smile. At this time, Loki also raised his head from the phone, as if eagerly expecting Sherlock to be imprisoned and fall into his hands.
"He didn't return home and I monitored his family as well."
"Really, it seems that you still don't believe his defection, so why would you explain to me why there was suddenly an extra £3 in his account?"
Sherlock took the printed bill, showing the payment received just recently.
Pete continued, "He's been bought by the Russians, and now he's on his way to France."
Sherlock didn't know why Pete told him this, wouldn't it be better for him to figure it out himself?
"He is sneaking back step by step. If you have news about him, you must report it truthfully."
Sherlock thought about it seriously this time, if FDR is really bought by the Russians, then all the rumors of insiders will be overturned.
"Only report to the three of us, do you understand?"
This was the first time in Sherlock's life that he had learned such a lesson except from Mycroft.Full of resentment, he got into the car and drove to Mycroft's house.
***
Mycroft, leaning on a small black umbrella, returned home contentedly after watching the last performance of "Battle of Troy", but vigilantly found something strange at the door.
Mycroft stood the little black umbrella at the door, took out his pistol, opened the door lightly, and heard a voice from the corner, "Mr. Holmes?"
Mycroft flicked on the light and found FDR standing at the source of the sound.
"you are?"
"Franklin Foster."
"Sherlock's defected subordinate?"
"Well, yes, in a sense, but what I want to tell you is exactly this matter. I contacted Director Lacon before..."
***
When FDR turned on the phone, it was equivalent to starting Pete's tracking of him, and the call came in instantly.
"Frank, where are you?"
"Don't you already know?"
"..."
"I found out that you read Kenneth's message."
"Yes, so your suspicions are cleared. I will find the insider and restore your position. Now go home."
"No, that's too slow, I need you to do me a favor, create the illusion that I was bought by the Russians and now I have gone to Paris."
"That will make your situation more difficult. Take care of yourself."
Then FDR closed the line.
"No one will tell everything" is indeed a wise saying. FDR has something to hide from Pete. He has no intention of single-handedly dealing with the insider. He is standing in front of Mycroft's door at this time, and Pete seems to have another plans, but he has no intention of telling FDR.
***
"So you're going to..." Mycroft sat on the sofa, looking at the awkward FDR opposite, FDR didn't know if he had persuaded Mycroft.
But before he finished speaking, he heard someone walking by outside the door, and then Sherlock's voice came, "Mycroft, your umbrella fell outside..." Sherlock walked in, unexpectedly Saw FDR, "...fuck..."
Sherlock paused, and suddenly pulled up FDR, punched him, and punched him back on the sofa, then held him down and punched him hard.
"Well Sherlock, he's innocent."
Sherlock let go of FDR, and FDR coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, the flesh from the slap in the face was broken on the teeth just now.He murmured, "I didn't say it earlier."
"How could he be innocent, he took 3 pounds from Russia, and now he's sneaking back to perform his duties!" Sherlock recalled the embarrassment he had at Pete's earlier today.
"He was framed. If Russia really wanted to buy an undercover agent, it would pay a higher price."
Sherlock calmed down and turned to FDR, "So, tell me what happened." Sherlock put himself on the sofa, resting his elbows on the edge of the sofa, clasped his hands on his chin.
FDR took out the paper on the coffee table, wiped the corner of his mouth, "I hope this is the last time I repeat it like a repeater."
……
"There are no loopholes in your narrative." Sherlock initially believed his words, and explained a lot of things they couldn't understand at the time.
"So, you're here to ask for our help?"
"Yes, I need outsiders to help me."
"What about your insider?" Mycroft knew that FDR didn't tell the whole story, including his relationship with Sullivan.
"Yes, he helped me create the illusion that I was in Paris."
It reminded Sherlock of this morning.
At this time, someone knocked on Mycroft's door.
FDR smiled, the curtains were drawn tightly, and only the sunlight shone through, shining on his blond hair.
It was Pete Sullivan, and he was alone.
Sherlock glanced at Mycroft.
Mycroft looked at FDR, then at Pete.
"It seems that there is nothing we can do if we don't cooperate."
Once Pete entered the room, he only looked at FDR, who smiled smugly.
Pete sighed. He didn't want to cooperate with Mycroft. He always regarded Mycroft as the number one threat. Finally, Mycroft was dismissed by the boss. Pete could not be distracted to check and balance the two brothers and Luo An eerie balance between Key and Eric, focused on their work.
Now they can only unite with Mycroft.
Pete walks over, pushes FDR, squeezes in beside him, and FDR mutters that it's hard work.Pete glared back.
"Okay, Agent FDR, you win."
Mycroft knew what FDR meant. They were all outside the game, and they couldn't give a quick feedback even if there was any game.
"What should we do next?"
"It's better to take advantage of the current situation. FDR sent a message in Paris. He knew about the insider in the Circus and asked to return to the Circus." Mycroft said.
***
2005, April 3.
Rocky walked into the meeting room with a report and threw it in front of Pete.
Pete took off his glasses and glanced at Loki, "What is this?"
"The Russians say European jihadists are going to detonate an explosion in July in response to terror in other parts of Europe."
"June?"
"Yes, during the G[-] summit."
Pete signed, Rocky sat next to him, and after a while Eric came in with another report and handed it to Pete.
Pete glanced at it, and it was sent from the intelligence personnel safe house in Paris. The content was about: I have not betrayed, I need someone to talk to me.
Pete glanced at Eric and handed the paper to Loki, who frowned after reading it. "What's this?"
Eric walked back to his seat, "I don't know yet, but it should be from FDR."
"FDR?" Pete looked at Eric with doubts on his face.
"It could be a trap, or it could be that he's been wronged and wants to have a conversation." Eric glanced at Pete to see if Pete knew anything else about his little boyfriend.
"Let him speak directly, otherwise there will be no talk." Loki interjected, he likes to be direct.
Pete nodded, "Yes, delay him a bit and take the opportunity to figure it out."
"Yeah." Eric agreed.
Three hours later, Eric came with another reply from a Paris safehouse agent, "I know there's a gopher in the Circus."
Pete pressed his brows, took his glasses back, and glanced at Eric without expressing his attitude.
"What do you think?" Eric asked Loki.
Loki felt that it was a waste of time to talk about a traitorous foreign agent at this time.But it seems that Pete and Eric are both obsessed with this, Loki is very troubled, "Delay time, let our people go and see, I think Holmes is very good, send him to see, if it is true, bring it back, Execute if it is fake." Loki shrugged his shoulders. If it was a trap, Holmes would be considered dead in line of duty.
"It's a good idea." Eric had exactly the same idea.
"Then let's do this, I still have a lot of things to do." Loki packed up the materials and went back to his own office.
Eric and Pete glanced at each other and left the meeting room one after another.
***
"If nothing else happens, he will warn the cultural counselor face-to-face on Bond Street. If their affairs are exposed, it will be harmful to Russia, so he will definitely use the hands of the Russians to get rid of you." Mike Roft told FDR.
FDR nodded in agreement.
Sherlock said that he had deployed people around, but he didn't say anything about the monitors. They couldn't [-]% believe in Pete's innocence, and they couldn't arrest anyone by mistake.
On weekends, Bond Street is bustling with men and women who come out for leisure and shopping. After entering the new century, Britain has become more and more open and prosperous. Foreigners are not uncommon here. Counselor Meteleev walked on the street, and Those elated pedestrians passed by and entered the meeting room prepared by Loki in a flash.
"You asked me to come? It's not the fixed meeting time yet."
"Yes, but the situation is urgent. Your people didn't clean up when they were in Hong Kong. The agent who was convicted of defecting is now in Paris and has leaked our secrets."
"That's impossible, our agents have confirmed his death, and we've executed Ms. Lauren."
"That's the fact. He's in the safe house in Paris. You go and get rid of him before the situation gets worse."
Through the monitor, Mycroft still easily recognized the voice.
