While the person at the door returned to the room, Jimmy immediately rushed to the third floor. Glock switched to his right hand and aimed at the door of the room. Ryan and the others also came up and kicked the gun away from the man on the ground.
Several agents came upstairs, but the corridor space was limited. Only Jimmy and Ryan moved forward one after another with their eyes on the door. The agents behind did not follow, but stood guard near the stairs. Also keep an eye on the position behind them.
Jimmy: "FBI, put down your weapons, raise your hands, come out and surrender." Go through the routine to avoid problems with the report later.
After waiting for a few seconds, the people in the room did not surrender or express anything. Jimmy made a gesture to Ryan and asked him to aim at the left side of the room. Then Jimmy half-crouched down. He didn't quite believe in Ryan's shooting skills behind him. He didn't want to be shot by the people behind him, so he chose an abnormal position. After squatting down, Jimmy put his left hand on the ground, kicked his legs hard and rushed from below to the door of the room, shooting at the two men who were aiming in advance. He fired his gun, and Ryan, who was behind him, also ran up a few steps and shot at the people in the room.
The sounds of "Ugh~" were heard endlessly, and the two women's screams could only make this muffled sound because their mouths were blocked and sealed with tape.
When Jimmy and Ryan shot inside, the people inside also shot at the door. However, they never expected that Jimmy would choose to slide from the ground to the door, so their guns were pointed at the door. In the upper middle, there is no threat to Jimmy at all.
Jimmy shot first in the chest, and then Ryan came over to add a few more shots, and then it finally came to an end. Ryan was standing, and when he saw the two men inside falling down, he went in and kicked their guns away. Only then did Jimmy stand up and walk into the room.
"Good marksmanship." Ryan gave Jimmy a thumbs up, then aimed his gun at the room next to him, and went in to check. Jimmy had already made sure that no one was there, so he went directly to the two women, and one of them was lying on the ground. Because his hands were tied behind his back, he couldn't stand up after falling to the ground, so he could only lie on his side and roll to the side, not blocking the movement of the door. Another woman was sitting on the couch, her hands also tied behind her back.
"It's safe." Ryan checked the room, and after making sure it was safe, he put away his gun and walked over. Each of them untied the two women, and McCullough was sitting on the sofa. At this time, both women were frightened. Although they did not cry loudly, they were both shedding tears and sobbing.
Jimmy: "FBI Special Agent Jimmy, Miss McCullough, are you okay? Are you injured? And this one, what do you call me?"
McCullu sobbed and shook his head: "I'm fine. Thank you."
Another girl said, "My name is Claire Rubinstein. Can I call home?"
Jimmy: "Please wait a moment, we need to contact the headquarters. We'll be there soon."
Jimmy pulled Ryan to the side, pointed at the kidnappers on the ground and said, "Lian, report it to the superiors. We also need to arrange for an ambulance to come over. They may be able to be saved."
This time, none of the three suspects had fatal injuries from being shot in the head. Now they were shot in the torso. If they were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, there might be a chance. But as time goes by, it would be hard to tell. Just bleeding would kill someone. The reason why Jimmy did not kill him and used a Glock instead of a revolver was because he was not yet sure whether the two women in the room were their target McCullough. If not, the kidnappers would still be of great use.
Ryan nodded, and the detective outside also came in. He picked up the phone and called Les, and then asked another detective to contact the ambulance.
Ryan: "Les, McCullough has been rescued. At the same time, there is another kidnapped person here. Three kidnappers were shot and are now waiting for an ambulance."
Les: "Are you okay?"
Ryan glanced at McCullough. By this time, her sobs had subsided and she seemed much calmer. "She's fine. We also need to check the name of Claire Rubinstein, the other person kidnapped by the kidnappers."
Les: "Okay, if there is no problem, you can take the people directly back to the headquarters later, and we will return as well."
Ryan: "Okay, we'll go back after the scene is dealt with."
Ryan hung up the phone and started to deal with the troubles at the scene with the others. First of all, they couldn't just leave them on the ground and ignore them. They always had to check and those who could do first aid still had to do it.
Jimmy looked at another girl, Claire Rubinstein. He thought for a moment and dialed Chuck's phone number directly: "Chuck, what is the name of the kidnapped person over there?"
Chuck: "Claire Rubinstein, 21."
Jimmy: "Have you guys received a call from the kidnapper?"
Chuck: "Yeah, 10pm, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, what's going on?"
Jimmy: "I think you can let the others close the team. We are dealing with a kidnapping case and found another girl at the scene, her name is Claire."
Chuck: "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."
Jimmy: "No need to come. Let's go directly to the FBI office later. We will bring people back after we finish handling the scene."
Chuck: "OK, thanks."
This mission is good, and there are unexpected rewards, but it is better to solve it together than to consume more manpower but get the result of a vote in the end. This time the three kidnappers all had guns. If something happened at the scene, it would be hard to tell later.
They won't bring two women directly to the scene. There is still a big possibility of a dispute if someone is caught at the scene.
Now, except for the injured, everyone is happy, a perfect ending, which is pretty good. Just wait for the ambulance to arrive and arrange for these three people to go to first aid. There is no guarantee how many will survive. If anyone is alive, maybe we can dig out the people behind. Their kidnapping target was too precise, and there might be someone hiding behind it, at least someone with intelligence, otherwise they wouldn't have known that a model was actually the daughter of a big business boss, and a ransom of 5 million was offered to her. It's just too accurate.
The other Claire is probably not a fuel-efficient one. It is impossible for them to kidnap another person while carrying out the mission of kidnapping McCallu. It doesn't make sense from common sense. It can only be said that Claire is also part of their plan.
Later, the FBI will also investigate whether McCallu's father has any enemies, whether it was a revenge kidnapping or the like. In short, this case is only solved on the surface, and a lot of trouble will be thrown to Les and the others, who make them the kidnapping and disappearance case task force.
Ryan came to Jimmy's side: "I heard your call just now. Do you also know about the case of another kidnapped girl?"
Jimmy nodded: "A friend of the NYPD was handling Claire's kidnapping case yesterday, but I didn't know the name before. I just asked, and it was indeed her. This time we helped the NYPD solve a small problem."
Ryan nodded and patted Jimmy on the shoulder, "It's nice to be able to help them. Thank you. Fortunately, you came with me this time."
Jimmy laughed loudly and said to Ryan: "If you thank me, just write a good report and don't let OPR trouble me."
Ryan: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. Good job. Your marksmanship is really good. Have you been practicing for a long time?"
Jimmy: "A small talent, nothing worth mentioning. How long will it take for the ambulance to arrive?"
Ryan: "Two or three minutes, it should be quick."
Jimmy smiled, pulled up a chair next to Lai Zao and sat down to wait. They were not part of the kidnapping and missing group in the first place, so it was better to stay out of the scene to avoid taking over the blame later.
After two hours of busy work, the forensic officers who came later investigated the entire room, and the work was finally completed. However, Jimmy and Ryan returned to the FBI's Manhattan office in advance with the two girls.
After handing the person over to Les, Jimmy had completed his mission. Not long after, Chuck and Nia had arrived at the Federal Building. After seeing Claire again, the two of them felt relieved. They had been wondering if they had the same name. People, it seems they have good luck.
Chuck: "Thanks, Jimmy."
Jimmy: "Haha, you're welcome. Please treat me to a supper."
Chuck: "Of course, let's go. We'll take Claire back tomorrow. As long as she's safe, it won't be a while."
Jimmy: "OK, Nia, let's go have supper together, your boss will pay the bill."
Nia rolled her eyes at Jimmy, but she couldn't stop the smile on her face. She had worked hard for two days. Although she didn't solve the case by herself, it was always good to have a good result.
Chuck is an interesting little old man. I don’t know if it’s because of Chris’s reputation or because he’s more satisfied with Jimmy. He doesn’t mingle with him when they have late-night snacks. Basically, Jimmy and Nia are not very familiar with each other. After a late-night snack, it’s obvious that they have a good relationship. A lot, and Jimmy also quietly received a card from Nia.
After going back to rest for a night, Jimmy went back to the office the next day. He went to see Les first. The model McCullu was not allowed to go back yesterday because only one of the three robbers was still in the hospital and two had already gone to the morgue. Pending an autopsy, McCullough's side needs to provide details of the kidnapping. The FBI office is very safe, so the agency didn't have any objections to letting her stay for one night.
Jimmy came to Les just to find out what was going on, because according to surveillance, McCullu left directly with that person without even notifying his agent, which was very surprising.
The reason Les told Jimmy was speechless. McCullough met one of the kidnappers at a party a few days ago. He called himself Calum. He was very eloquent and handsome. Of course, Jimmy has now Finished with Ryan. Calum was very talkative, and various novel topics attracted McCullu's attention. The two met twice in the next few days, and they had a great conversation each time. At the end of the catwalk that day, Calum was directly backstage. After waiting for McCullu, the two chatted for a few words, McCallu went to remove his makeup, and then left the show directly with Calum. At that time, his head was so hot that he didn't even notify his agent.
After staying in an apartment for one night, McCullu was driven away by Calum in the morning. As a result, during a stop on the road, she was knocked unconscious by Calum with a handkerchief. Afterwards, she woke up and went to the apartment. A girl was already in the room, brought back unconscious like Calum.
Jimmy: "A very important question, does McCullough know the price of their kidnapping?"
Les: "Don't know, actually neither girl knew what they were being offered."
Jimmy: "That's the problem. Yesterday I was thinking about how the kidnappers determined that a female model was worth a ransom of 5 million. There are many more consequences to this matter."
Les: "Well, I thought of it, so I didn't let McCulu go back tonight. Her father will rush to New York today. Let's get to know him when he arrives. You guys did it too darkly. Only half of the three kidnappers were left. Still in ICU now."
Les said the last part through gritted teeth, and the look she stared at Jimmy made people feel chills running down her back.
Jimmy waved his hands quickly: "No, it's not my fault. I searched another apartment. Ryan and the others were beaten directly from the third floor to the first floor by the kidnappers. I just went to support. If you are angry, go to Ryan, everything is He did it.”
Les's jaw moved a little from side to side, and it was obvious that he was grinding his teeth. He was really angry. "OK, this case is almost over now. I'll come to listen when McCullough's father comes. I'm going back first. Well, Chris has something to ask me about. See you later."
Jimmy quickly found an excuse and slipped out of Les's office. Don't mess with women. Your own men are causing trouble. Why are you causing trouble for me?
Jimmy returned to his office, but Chris hadn't come yet. Judging from his injured appearance, he was probably recuperating at home for at least two weeks. Hey, age is not forgiving after all. I think Jimmy was shot in the calf in a sneak attack. It took three weeks to get back to work. Chris' current injury will definitely not be easy to recover from.
Jimmy was looking through the information when the phone rang and he glanced at it, Roland?
Jimmy: "Roland, are you back?"
A strange man's voice opposite: "Are you Jimmy?"
Jimmy frowned: "Who are you?"
Man opposite: "Jack Chambers."
Jimmy was shocked. Jack Chambers, the first person to follow Roland, had not seen him since he came to this world. "Jack, how is Roland? He said he was going back. Why is your phone here with you?"
Jack: "Let's talk in person. Where are you?"
Jimmy: "Manhattan, New York. Where are you? I can go find you."
Jack: "Just wait for me for two days. I'll call you when I arrive in two days."
Jimmy: "Okay. I'll wait for your call. Goodbye, Jack."
Jack: "Bye, Jimmy."
Jimmy hung up the phone and started thinking about it. It was strange. Ever since the black man brought Roland's box to Jimmy, Jimmy would call Roland every now and then, but he couldn't get through. Now Jack suddenly called back with Roland's cell phone. Is there something wrong? Also, how did Jack get Roland's cell phone?
Regarding Jack Chambers, Roland briefly mentioned a few words before. Jack also has the power of the Shining, which is similar to a certain degree of precognition. He has outstanding drawing skills and can draw the pictures he foresees. Roland mailed him before He gave him two paintings, saying they predicted him. In the two paintings, one showed Jimmy holding a gun in both hands, and the other showed Jimmy lying on the ground.
When Roland and Jack cooperated in the past, Jack also predicted the scene. Roland took him to the scene to clean up the supernatural incident. It can be seen that Jack's ability is also very strong. Although it is not used for direct combat, he is absolutely top-notch as an assistant. , maybe you can ask about those two paintings when you meet Jack this time.
Jimmy left his office, sat on the sofa and started to boil water. He made himself a pot of tea and took a rest while thinking about what he wanted to do. He didn't know what Jack's attitude was towards him. If he met Jack when Roland was there, it would be okay. At least Roland had a connection. Now that he was facing Jack directly, he really didn't know what to say.
I washed the tea, made tea, and poured myself a cup of Lapsang Souchong. The second brew was still much worse than the uncle in the tea shop. I don’t know why. Are the tea sets different? At that time, the uncle in the tea shop also brewed the same tea as himself. Sure enough, even making tea requires skill and talent.
Jimmy hadn't finished his pot of tea when the phone rang and Les informed him that McCullough's father had arrived.
Jimmy put down his tea cup, picked up his suit and hurried to Les' office. In the adjacent conference room, McCullough, who was rescued yesterday, was sitting next to a middle-aged man, and Les and Ryan were sitting opposite them.
Jimmy knocked on the door and came in and sat next to Ryan. Les was asking if McCullough's father could figure out who might have been responsible for the kidnapping.
Jimmy sat across from McCullough and her father, looking at them both, she always felt strange. McCullough had blond hair, why did her father have brown hair? McCullough's father has short brown hair, slightly curly, and looks like a typical middle-aged white man. He has no beard and the skin on his face is well maintained. It's this hair that makes Jimmy stand out. There seems to be some secret?
Because he was speaking in French, Jimmy didn't understand it at all, so he could only wander around in confusion. I have to say that, as the leader of the task force, Les really had a lot of skills, and he actually understood French. They communicated After more than ten minutes, Rice stood up, shook hands with McCullough and her father, and sent them off.
After a while, Les came back, "Okay, the case is over, there is no follow-up. Jimmy, you can deal with other cases."
Jimmy: "Huh? Didn't you speculate that someone was deliberately targeting them?"
Les: "Yes, but that happened after they returned to France and has nothing to do with us. This case is like this. She will come back before the trial."
Jimmy: "Well, there's really nothing you can do when you get to France. Speaking of which, you actually know French. I've always thought French is too difficult."
Les: "I learned it by the way when I was in school. Ryan, go to the hospital and have a look. The living kidnapper should be out of the ICU. See if you can make a record."
Ryan stood up and nodded, said hello to Jimmy, buttoned his suit and left the conference room.
Since there was no follow-up, Jimmy had nothing to do. He left the conference room and drove directly downstairs to the NYPD, where there was an unfinished case.
Jimmy: "Chuck, how's your case going?"
Chuck: "I've sent Claire back. I've contacted Hughes and the case has been handled jointly with Les's side. It has now been handed over."
Jimmy: "Okay, what do you do next? Do you still want to pursue the guitarist from before?"
Chuck: "Let's take another look. If there are still no clues, we can only put it on hold for now."
Jimmy asked for trouble and wandered over to Nia's place, "Nia, what are you doing?"
Nia raised her head and glanced at Jimmy, then lowered her head and continued writing the document, "What can you do?"
Jimmy: "It's almost noon. Are you going out for lunch?"
Nia didn't even raise her head: "I don't have time, there are still a lot of documents to process."
Jimmy: "There are so many things to do and we can't finish them. Lunch won't delay things. Let's go."
Nia raised her head and sighed. It seemed that Jimmy couldn't get rid of this bullshit plaster. She put down the pen and said, "Chuck, do you want to come with us?"
Chuck waved his hand behind his head, "You go ahead, I have something else to do here."
Jimmy left with Nia. When passing by Chuck's place, Jimmy reached out and made a V sign behind his back. Chuck saw Jimmy's little movement and smiled and shook his head.
Because Nia insisted, Jimmy and her just had a brief lunch in the restaurant next to the police station and then returned to the police station. However, it seemed that there was a bit of drama. At least Nia did not reject Jimmy very much. They also talked about it during the meal. Laugh, there is no silence.
In the past two years, Jimmy's eloquence has been average. Although he cannot be said to be eloquent, at least he can talk about some topics.
(F**K, my monitor crashed when I woke up early in the morning. I only coded so much last night, so I’ll take a quick look at it, and I’m going to repair the monitor. It comes with a 3-year warranty, but after 3 and a half years, the screen is full of vertical stripes. I want to curse.)
