Satori by Don Winslow, chapters 138-139 Chapter 138. In the previous chapter Nicholai asked De Lhandes for help. It was a very dangerous move because Nicholai couldn't be sure that De Lhandes wouldn't betray him but he had no one else to approach. So, in chapter 138 De Lhandes was thinking about the whole situation. He was considering the idea of selling information about Nicholai's whereabouts because a lot of people was hunting for Nicholai at the moment and they were ready to pay very well for this information. But De Lhandes couldn't help thinking about what Nicholai had said to him, that he deserved more. So he had to think it over. Chapter 139. In this chapter Haverford found Antonucci, one of the chiefs of The Corsicans, threatened him with a gun and demanded to tell him why The Corsicans had decided to kill him. Antonucci answered that Haverford threatened their dope business and that the assassination was arranged together with the other American, Mr. Gold. Haverford instantly understood that it was Diamond. Haverford demanded to cancel the assassination of Guibert but Antonucci answered that it was too late because The Cobra was already loose.

Could you please check up my writing? Nightmare journey Well, I guess, I've never had a journey which could be called the true nightmare. But I had a few which were pretty awful. When I was a child, every summer my parents and I visited my grandma, my father's mom. She lived in a small village deep in the countryside in Arkhangelsk region. Flights were too expensive for our family back then and there weren't direct flights in this village anyway, only in Arkhangelsk, so the journey was long and arduous. First of all, we needed to get to Moscow. The fast train, the Kaluga-Moscow Express, didn't exist yet, so ordinary trains were the only available option. They were very old, dirty, overcrowded by passengers and very slow as they stoped at every station. Besides, we always had to get up very early because we usually traveled by the first train in 5 or 6 a.m. After the arrival in Moscow, we needed to get from Kievsky Railway Station to Yaroslavsky railway station by underground and it wasn't really convenient because the Moscow Metro is overcrowded at any time and we always had a lot of baggage. After some waiting at Yaroslavsky railway station we got on a train and travelled for 20 hours or so. This part of the journey was comfortable enough, but really boring. Then we got off the train at the station Velsk. The train always arrived there at 5 a.m. and the temperature in this time of the day in Arkhangelsk region is always cold, even in summer. I always felt awful suddenly awakened in the middle of the night and left a warm bed for freezing outside. I was always chilled to the bone and felt sick. We had to wait for some time in the metal hangar without any heating for a coach. As I remember, it didn't have a regular schedule and always was crowded out. People often travelled standing up, even though it was forbidden. Coaches were always very old, with a noisy engine, rattled and bumped all the way, and awfully smelled of petrol and exhaust fumes. The road was really bad there and it took a five or six hours. I was usually sick all the time and threw up a few times. I always hated this part of the journey the most. Then we arrived to the river Northern Dvina but it wasn't the end of the journey. We had to cross the river and eventually get to the village. We usually picked up some car passing by or met some acquaintances who were coming the same way and could give us a lift. To cross the river we usually needed to wait for a ferry, and after that the road take a bit more time.

Could you please correct my writing? Satori by Don Winslow, chapters 100-104 From chapter 100 we know that Haverford arrived in Saigon. He liked Saigon because this city was like Paris in many ways, but the weather was much better here. But Haverford hoped that he won’t be here very long because he didn't like the current geopolitical situation, especially in this region, and he didn't want to participate in the war. So Haverford waited for Nicholai Hel and hoped he would arrive soon enough. In chapter 101 Nicholai went to the place where weapons were stored, Tasser and his crew offloaded the cargo onto the shore, Nicholai said goodbye to Tasser and Tasser and his men left. Then the truck with Bay Vien arrived to take the cargo. In chapter 102 the truck with the weapons rolled out of the town, with Nicholai and Bay Vien aboard the vehicle. The road through the mountains was long and arduous but eventually they arrived to some French military base with an airstrip. Nicholai and Bay Vien were met by Captain Antoine Signavi. He offered them beer and they discussed business. Bay Vien and Nicholai wanted to fly with the cargo, Captain Signavi hesitated for some time but then he After the business was settled, Captain Signavi invited Bay Vien and Nicholai to dinner tonight. At the evening they had a delicious dinner together and then they went to sleep. But in the middle of the night Nicholai woke up suddenly. He heard some man approached. Nicholai saved Bay Vien knocking him off the bad onto the floor, then went outside. The killer tried to run but was shot. Bay Vien said to Nicholai that he owed him. In chapter 103 Colonel Yu reported to General Liu that the Viet Minh agent who was supposed to meet Nicholai was killed. Colonel Yu was deeply troubled and wondered if Nicholay was in trouble or betrayed him. In chapter 104 the plane with Nicholai and Bay Vien aboard flied to Saigon. Nicholai watched at the landscape below and understood that there was no way he could make this way with the weapons by ground or river routes because there were too much military forces there. The plane landed not in Saigon, but at a military base. Crates of opium and rocket launchers were loaded in trucks. Nicholai demanded payment for the weapons. Bay Vien promised that he would pay and arranged a meeting the next day in his casino.

Could you please correct my writing? Satori by Don Winslow, chapters 98-99 In the previous chapter Nicholai arrived to Luang Prabang and in chapter 98 he checked into a hotel. He took a bath and shaved firstly. After that he was sitting on the balcony of his room drinking coffee with a croissant and reading a newspaper. Accidentally he noticed Solange's name in the newspaper. From the article he knew that she was in Saigon in the delegation from the French film industry. Nicholai understood at once that it was a trap for him. Then he went out and bought new clothes and a suitcase. The idea to pack and go to Saigon to Solang was really tempting for him for a moment. But he had given his word to Colonel Yu and had to accomplish his mission. In chapter 99 Nicholai had gone to the so-called "Night Market" and wandered there for some time until a certain man appeared and told Nicholai to follow him. Nicholai was on the alert waiting for a trap. The man led him in some opium den. There were a few smokers there and they were indifferent to the world around them, but one of them, man in the black shirt, looked different and it was suspicious. Nicholai reached for a small letter opener he'd bought at the Night Market and told the guide that if that man in the black shirt moves, he would kill him. Nicholai asked where was the man that he was supposed to meet and after some hesitation the guide admitted that he was dead. The man in the black shirt pulled out a gun and Nicholai stabbed the guide in his throat firstly and then broke the neck of the man in the black shirt. Then three men with machine pistols burst through the door. It was the Binh Xuyen, the pirates. It turned out one of them was Bay Vien himself, the leader of the Binh Xuyen. He was going to kill Nicholai because he had killed his men. Nicholai needed to buy some time and stay alive, so he told Bay Vien that he could get much more rocket launchers for him so Bay Vien could get more power.
