"Or if I were to lure that girl out, maybe he wouldn't stand there so stupidly." There was no extra expression between Hawkins' eyebrows and eyes, and even his tone of voice was cold and calm.

"It sounds like you're afraid of something." Dr. Gray tilted his head, he was a little surprised, because there was never such a thing as "assumption" in Hawkins' brain.

"Yes, I am afraid. If he can no longer be a soldier, he will leave Baghdad."

"Also, leave you." Dr. Gray smiled, admitting that for the first time, Hawkins, who was afraid, gave people the illusion that he was also an ordinary person.

Howkins did not go on.

Dr. Gray nodded: "I bet there is nothing wrong with your psychology. But Hawkins, if there is any problem with Sean's psychology, I can't keep him here or by your side. You know, That... Baghdad would kill him."

"I know." Hawkins stood up and left neatly. Doctor Gray saw a kind of firmness from his tall and straight back, like a sharp knife piercing a rock.

However, in fact, Sean finally passed the psychological evaluation, and it was Rick who needed to leave here.

He couldn't pick up his gun, couldn't keep his index finger on the trigger.

Rick will return to the United States in two days, and if there are no accidents, he will retire.

For the first time, the three of them sat in a room with beer on the table and pizza packed from the restaurant.

"Pizza in Baghdad, we're a luxury." Rick smiled.

"Congratulations, Rick, you can get out of this ghost place." Sean bumped beer with him.

Howkins just sat there.

Rick smiled too. "You know, when I was in Hawkins' group... you were the one who stayed the longest besides me. Not everyone can stand Hawkins."

Not knowing if he was going to leave, Rick said everything he wanted to say to Hawkins.

"Hey Hawkins, this is when your longest crew member is leaving, can't you just say a word?"

"Thank you for saving Sean." Hawkins mentioned the beer, and Sean froze.He thought that everyone had reached a consensus, that is, the matter of that shot should not be mentioned again.

Rick, however, laughed.

"This is the only thank you you said to me after I have been on duty with you for more than 300 days. Although I am sure you should say sorry to me more times." Rick raised the bottle and drank half of it in one go. Then looked at Sean, "Thank you, Sean. If it wasn't for you, maybe I would have met God early because of Crazy Hawkins. You are really special, Sean...very special."

"Thank you for your compliment." Sean smiled wryly, "Will you be with Anna when you go back?"

"Maybe. Sean, I mean, none of us know what the outcome will be in the end. Now I'm glad I met Anna. Now, that's the most important thing. Because you don't want to think about your tomorrow Will there be nothing left after being bombed?"

Under the table, Sean felt Hawkins holding his hand, fingers digging into his, hard.

Compared with the day when he was sitting more than 30 meters away from the warehouse waiting for him to dismantle the bomb, at this moment, he could feel that Hawkins was really scared.

"Sean, if you came back to America, is there anything you'd want to do? I mean besides picking up girls?"

"Go to the soldier's cemetery, look at a tombstone called 'Vincent Mann', and ask him why he chose to join EOD from the air force base." With a helpless smile, Xiao En suddenly felt that he was Vincent or something else. Who is not so important anymore.

"Oh, I know that guy, Snape and Scar mention him when they're drunk, and I bet they mention him to you too." Rick closed his eyes and smiled.

"Then go apply to Yale for telecommunications engineering."

"Oh—and then you and that psychiatrist will become alumni! Aha!" Rick looked at Hawkins. "What about you? Hawkins? When you get back to America."

"Maybe buy a house with a basement."

"What do you want in the basement? Storing wine?" Rick's eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be falling asleep.He drank several bottles in a row, and Sean guessed that he was almost done.

"No." Hawkins poked his head towards Rick, his tone calm, "I'm going to lock Sean in and let him lie under me every day and night."

"Why? Make you a mattress?" Rick's head was lying on the table, his voice was already muffled.

Sean glared at him sideways, "Oh, this is Rick, can you put that in your head back a little bit?"

"Because he's leaving, I'm willing to share my secret with him." Howkins got up and lifted Rick up, "Send him back. He's going to take the plane back to the United States tomorrow."

After sending off Rick and Hawkins, Sean lay down in his bed, exactly 01:30 in the evening.

He couldn't close his eyes.

Because, the girl would lie there and look at him, as if blaming him for why he went over to lure her out.

Moreover, he had already taken two tablets of the medicine Dr. Gray gave him, and he could not take a third.

Someone knocked on his door.

"Who?"

"I."

"Oh, Hawkins...it's past one o'clock now..." Sean raised his hand to cover his eyes, why did this guy come back again.

"But you're staring at the ceiling with your eyes open." Makes one wonder if Hawkins has X-ray vision.

Sean froze for a moment, got up funny, and opened the door: "You know, I really hope that there is a beautiful, sexy and gentle woman in this world who understands me like this."

"But it's not going to happen." Hawkins sat on the edge of Sean's bed. "You dare not close your eyes, do you?"

"Thank you to the CIA's facial forensic experts for passing on their knowledge and experience to you."

"It has nothing to do with facial forensic experts." Howkins turned his head slightly, the curve formed by his nasal bone and chin revealed a hidden beauty in the dark, "When I was on the mission for the first time, my palms were covered with sweat, I Couldn't even put the monitor and the little robot together smoothly. But it didn't matter because the little robot couldn't defuse the bomb and my teacher had to go and detonate him manually."

"and then?"

"Then, I stood there and saw him being blown away. I was thrown by someone, and I was temporarily deaf in my left ear. I got up and looked for him in a place... where there was nothing, even a piece of debris would be fine."

Sean laughed out loud: "I thought you never cared who would be blown up. I thought you regarded being blown up by the bomb as your HAPPY ENDING."

"After that, I couldn't sleep every night. I looked at the ceiling and didn't dare to close my eyes because the image of him walking towards that bomb would come to my mind."

"I thought I should be the one to see this scene. You must know that I have watched you walking towards those bombs many times without wearing an explosion-proof suit." At that moment, Sean felt that the lunatic Hawkins was actually with himself and Rick is all the same.

"Then, I didn't have a teacher and I had to play on my own. I had good luck, but my teammates always had bad luck. In Afghanistan, the guy followed me for more than six months, and I was almost used to him. But after a bomb defuse mission, he hit a land mine, how ridiculous...he was not killed by the bomb I was trying to defuse."

Sean reached out and bumped him with his fist, "We have to get used to it... those who were used to it suddenly disappeared."

"Yes, so when the next guy comes, I'm still used to calling that guy's name. Then I haven't remembered the name of the new guy. We encountered an armed attack on a mission, and he was beaten into a hornet's nest, but better than Blow it up, he will have a complete body."

"And then, Sean. The people around me seem to keep changing. I can't remember their names."

"It's no big deal." Sean turned his head.

"No, it's important to me. Because I thought I forgot to be afraid, but actually, I'm afraid now."

"What are you afraid of? We'll be killed tomorrow. Don't worry, we can spend two days free before the new team members arrive." Sean glanced at him.

"I am afraid that if you are too close to me, you will die because of my madness. I am also afraid that you will be too far away from me, so that I will not be able to feel you." His voice was long, and all the sharpness and coldness peeled off without a trace at that moment .

"Maybe, after you leave Baghdad, you won't have such thoughts. Of course, I still like the first half of the sentence." Sean took a breath, "If I said that I have never dared to close my eyes, then Does the experienced Lieutenant Howkins have any advice?"

"Kiss me." Hawkins bit his lips without waiting for Sean's reaction.

He sucked on him, licking every corner of his mouth, brushing his tongue lightly, soothing his nerves.

Sean closed his eyes. This time, what appeared in his mind was Hawkins' lowered eyelids and sinking expression.

Then, everything became easier, and it seemed that the effect of the two pills had begun to show the effect of the beer.Sean's thoughts began to sink, sinking into a softness.

Hawkins looked up and touched the tip of his nose lightly.

"Please love me." His voice was very soft, and it was the only voice Sean heard before he fell into a dream.

The next morning, Rick left the camp by helicopter.

"You must leave me your contact information when you get back to Boston." Sean patted Rick on the shoulder.

"Of course." Rick nodded, looked at Hawkins who was silent, "hey, sir. I hope you can get out of here alive."

"I will." Hawkins nodded.

The helicopter just flew away.

"He shouldn't suffer from post-traumatic trauma, right?" Sean raised his head and asked.

"No, he has Anna." Howkins turned around, "and I have you."

The afternoon after Rick left, Sean was playing basketball with Scar and the others when Snape yelled at him, "Sean, your phone seems to be ringing."

Sean walked to the side of the court and took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Hey, Hawkins, what's the matter?"

"Come to my room and meet the new team members."

"So soon?" It meant that his team would soon be in battle again.

Sean made an apologetic gesture to Scar and the others, then put his coat on his shoulders and left.

Walking to the door of Hawkins' room, he suddenly had the feeling that he had become Rick. When he came to this group, Rick saw himself for the first time from Hawkins' room.
