Mahone and Jimmy left the hospital. They could no longer get involved here. All that was left was for the forensic department to collect evidence and perform on-site inspections. They were just taking up space there and were basically useless.
Both Jimmy and Mahone had gained something this time and had eliminated all the gunmen. They should be happy. However, the death of the two detectives that had been confirmed left them with no other thoughts but regret.
Mahone regretted not listening to Jimmy and sending more people there, or simply letting SWAT come to the scene, so that maybe it wouldn't be so tragic.
Jimmy regretted that he did not point out the danger here. These two colleagues were indirectly killed by him.
On the way back to the office, Jimmy drove in front and simply turned on the hidden police lights and siren. He rushed back to the FBI Federal Plaza office with Mahone, who was a step behind him and turned on the police lights.
Hughes' office.
Mahone and Jimmy were sitting in front of Hughes' desk, and Hughes was stroking his chin with his right hand.
Hughes: "So, what happened today, it can be said that we expected there would be problems, but we didn't expect so many people to come, so there were fewer people arranged?"
Ma Hong glanced at Jimmy and nodded to admit his mistake: "Yes, I underestimated their ferocity. At first, I thought five people were enough to suppress ordinary suspects."
Hughes released the hand that was touching his chin and waved his hand, "No, you can't say that. Remember, we are following the normal suspect custody procedures, and there are no violations here."
Ma Hong nodded: "I understand."
Hughes looked at Jimmy: "Are you sure you've killed them all?"
Jimmy: "I've checked every room. Unless they were hiding very deeply, all the people who came to the hospital should have been killed. But one thing is, if they have someone outside to pick them up and don't come to the hospital at all, they will definitely be arrested." Can’t reach it.”
Hughes: "Are there any known fish that slipped through the cracks?"
Jimmy: "We need to wait until we get all the photos of these people at the scene and go to the Viper Gang to confirm. What we can confirm so far is that the female gunman who attacked me on the road is currently 80% or 90% of the waitress at the Viper Gang restaurant. "
Hughes raised his hand to signal Jimmy to stop. He picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed the internal number: "Ruiz, come to my office."
When Ruiz received the call, he got up and rushed to Hughes' office. Jimmy and Mahone just sat there without saying a word.
After a while, Ruiz knocked on the door and entered the office, "What happened?"
Hughes: "The Vipers, do you know?"
Ruiz glanced at Jimmy. He remembered that the information about this gang was given to Jimmy a few days ago: "Well, I have an impression."
Hughes: "I don't want to hear any more about this so-called Viper Gang."
Ruiz: "Anything else?"
Hughes: "No more."
Ruiz nodded and left Hughes' office without asking why.
Hughes looked at Mahone: "Write a report on this case as soon as possible."
Mahone nodded and said nothing. Writing reports was not a problem for an experienced person like Mahone.
Hughes looked at Jimmy: "I know you have channels to dig out their roots. Remember, our people can't just die like this."
Jimmy nodded: "What about Mrs. Mason?"
Hughes: "Don't worry. You guys, get out."
Jimmy and Mahone stood up, buttoned their suits, nodded to Hughes and left his office.
Walking in the corridor of the office, Ma Hong said: "I'll also handle your report. If you don't know how to write it, come to me."
Jimmy: "Well, help me polish it up later. Give me the photo of the shooter first. I need to investigate."
Mahone: "I'll call the medical examiner's office and give me some time."
Jimmy: "Then I'll wait for you in the office."
The two came to the front of the office, Jimmy took the elevator upstairs to his office, and Mahone turned towards his office.
Isabel watched Jimmy walk into the office. She did not go to find Jimmy, but came to Mrs. Mason's office, "Mrs. Mason, Jimmy is back."
Mason opened the blinds and saw Jimmy sitting in her office. She shook her head: "Don't interfere with him. The situation of this case will be completely blocked. We will wait until the time to announce it to the public."
Isabel: "The media may not be easy to control. Too many doctors and patients died this time."
Mrs. Mason: "Not yet, we have to wait until there is a unified voice."
Isabel: "But there is a regular press conference tomorrow."
Mrs. Mason: "Cancel the Q&A session."
Isabel nodded: "I understand, I will make arrangements now." After that, Isabel turned and left Mrs. Mason's office.
Mrs. Mason looked at Jimmy expressionlessly and closed the curtains.
Jimmy refilled his armpit holster in the office, not wanting to do anything at all, and stayed in a daze for more than an hour. Then he received a call from Mahone, got up and left the office.
Mahone gave Jimmy a folder at the elevator entrance. Jimmy opened it and took a look. It was full of photos, and there was fingerprint information under the photos. Jimmy nodded, went back to the elevator, went downstairs and drove to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau.

Perkins looked at the breaking news on TV and his expression changed. It was just a simple rescue mission, how could there be such a big mistake?
The four people who came over from the training camp in the morning were just for Emily. There were not many newcomers in the training camp. Coupled with the training cost, there were not many such people who were about to start doing tasks.
Yesterday, I received a call from my hometown. Emily was still alive and could be rescued. Naturally, I had to arrange for someone to take her back. It is much cheaper to save a surviving finished product than to retrain one. Anyone who can calculate accounts can understand this truth.
However, after receiving a call from Perkins last night, the few people who were arranged to come here were very nervous and rushed to New York and arrived at Perkins' safe house early in the morning.
After meeting with these people, Perkins told them what happened last night. It was certain that Emily was not dead yet. Emily was not hit in the gun battle last night. After her operation, You can send him off to rest.
Several people discussed it. Since the escort operation failed last night and Emily was placed under the care of the hospital by the NYPD, they should be rescued as soon as possible. There was only a few NYPD police officers staying in the hospital, so there was no pressure on them.
Perkins contacted Benny. The actions of hijacking the fire truck and escorting Emily yesterday were all done by the people below. Benny himself was not directly involved.
Benny and the others learned of the dire situation shortly after the shootout, so they packed up the maintenance shop overnight and headed to the safe house. They waited and then left New York. Now that Perkins called and said someone was coming from his hometown, he naturally rushed over.
NYPD information is still easy to obtain. Perkins has appeared in New York too many times. If her identity is revealed, it will seriously affect her future work. Therefore, she did not participate in this rescue, but arranged a trip to leave New York. , four people from my hometown plus Benny and his little brother, six people can handle four NYPD police officers, holding them in hand, it is not a problem at all.
Perkins and the others were very well prepared. After arriving at the hospital, they first identified Emily's ward, then got nurse uniforms to change into in the dressing room, and arranged for Benny and the other men to wait downstairs.
However, they didn't know that not long after Mahone took over the case from the NYPD detectives in the morning, he arranged for FBI agents to take over Emily.
Five FBI agents and four NYPD police officers are completely different risks, but Benny and the others got the information early in the morning, before the FBI took over, and they were completely unprepared.
Although the two detectives at the door of Emily's ward were caught off guard, they still fought back bravely. The alarm sounded, and the three detectives below also rushed over, but were intercepted by Benny and the others. The five of them still gained something. At least it delayed enough, injured one person, and gave Mahone and Jimmy time to come over.
Because the alarm sounded and the NYPD patrol car came to the hospital, their original evacuation route also went wrong. Someone closed the elevator, and there were police officers downstairs. They were considering leaving, and then Mahone and Jimmy rushed in.
Everyone in Perkins was confused. According to the breaking news, there were five FBI agents at the scene, not NYPD police officers, and two agents had been declared dead. It would be strange if the FBI didn't go crazy.
She walked out of the cabin and looked toward the dock. This yacht is their retreat plan. After a few people arrive, they board the yacht and go to Boston in the north. Then there is a ready route to leave. Whether they go back to the training camp or go directly to Canada, it is not difficult for them.
Perkins doesn't know what to do now. Why did things develop like this? More than ten people were lost at one time. They were not gangsters who could be recruited casually. The four people who came after them were all training camp instructors. Why were they suddenly gone?
She just stood on the yacht, the sea breeze blowing her hair, until her phone rang.
Perkins looked at the cell phone number and picked up: "What's the matter? ...No, I won't leave for the time being. ...Half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Perkins thought for a while, then picked up a large suitcase from the boat and went to the pier, got in the car in the parking lot and returned to the city.

Jimmy called Caitlin on the way to the Counterterrorism Bureau: "Caitlin, do me a favor, it's very urgent."
Caitlin: "What?"
Jimmy: "The suspects in the hospital shootout need to use your information to investigate their identities as soon as possible. We lost two guys."
Caitlin: "For the Bureau?"
Jimmy: "Yeah, but it takes too long to go through the process now."
Caitlin was silent for a few seconds: "Come here."
Jimmy: "Thanks, Caitlin, I owe you a favor."
Caitlin: "Well, come on over here and go directly to Olivia. She's in the command center."
Jimmy: "Thank you."
Jimmy has no choice. There are not many places where he can obtain information, and Charon has already reminded Jimmy that they are neutral parties and cannot directly provide information to Jimmy. So the most convenient place to obtain information is the CIA. In other words In other words, it's the Counter-Terrorism Bureau.
The FBI's database is actually not complete, because the FBI is a law enforcement agency under the Ministry of Justice. Without authorization, even if Jimmy wants to investigate the intelligence of these corpses, he will not be able to find it.
Shortly after the Department of Homeland Security was established in DHS, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau was separated from the CIA and entered DHS. Correspondingly, it was authorized by a considerable number of DHS to query information from multiple intelligence systems, including the NSA. This is what the FBI does. Less than.
Jimmy didn't see Caitlin this time. Olivia took Jimmy's folder and sent him away. She would send it to him after the information was investigated.
Jimmy had no choice but to return to the office and wait, but the investigation of this information seemed to take a long time. Until after get off work, Jimmy had not yet received Olivia's call.
Jimmy did not go to Nia's house today, but went directly back to his apartment.
In the afternoon, we received the news that all three seriously injured people survived, but one of them lost too much blood and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, the doctors at the hospital were very good and successfully rescued him from death.
This is somewhat good news. There is hope before death, but these three people need to be hospitalized for a long time, and then they need to go home to recuperate.
Jimmy didn't cook dinner himself. Instead, he ordered a pizza and fruit salad, took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa and watched TV to kill time. After checking the time, he went to take a shower, and then Went back to the bedroom to sleep.
In the early morning, Jimmy was awakened by his sixth sense again. He immediately took out the Monty Python Revolver under his pillow and opened his mind's eye to observe the apartment.
After taking a look at the room, there was nothing unusual in the living room, study, or dining room. There was no one in the corridor outside the apartment. The surrounding neighbors' homes looked normal, and they were all sleeping.
He couldn't sleep either. It was strange. This feeling had appeared many times before, mostly when he was in danger. Why was there nothing abnormal this time?
Jimmy didn't turn on the light, put on the clothes and pants lying next to him, and walked to the living room. He needs to observe carefully. Every time he feels this kind of palpitations, something must be happening, including when he was sniped before or when there were supernatural events.
Now he is in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York. There have been no vicious supernatural incidents here in the past few years. If his life is to be threatened, it will definitely be the same as before. Someone will break into the house and attack him, or aim at him with a sniper rifle outside.
Jimmy observed the entire apartment, including the cars on the road, and was sure that no one was found unusual.
Strangely, Jimmy was sitting on the floor in the living room, which was rare. He really didn't dare to lie down and sleep anymore. In all of Jimmy's rooms, the curtains are drawn, so you can't see inside from the outside.
Long-range sniping should not be able to determine his position through windows and curtains. If he shoots casually, the gunman must know that the success rate will not be high, and it will alarm Jimmy, making it more difficult to do it later. So what will happen?
