Chapter 144: Dividing the Spoils
At the same time that Jack landed on the ground through the rope, an explosion sounded. The two off-road vehicles had just traveled less than 50 meters when they were blown into the sky at the same time.
Of course, blasting to the sky is just an exaggerated description. Each pack of C4 that Jason gave to Clay before may have been less than 500 grams. When the smoke and dust dispersed, there were even members of the Eugene family in the car. He was killed on the spot.
Clay quickly sprang out of the woods where he was hiding. After a few gunshots, he completed the shot.
The rest of the SEALs still carefully followed the tactical formation and searched the entire villa. After confirming that everything was safe, Jason ordered the Black Hawk to land in front of the house.
When the anxious Jessie jumped out of the helicopter, Jack already appeared at the door of the villa holding the unconscious Franck.
This girl is lucky. Maybe it’s because the hunting has just begun and the men of the Eugene family plan to accumulate more prey before enjoying it. Or maybe they sensed something bad last night and temporarily lost the ability to invade. The thoughts of prey.
In short, except for some infection in the wound and some symptoms of dehydration, Frank was fully clothed. However, the girl was frightened. He was worried that she would hurt herself by struggling wildly, so Jack simply hurt her. faint.
Leaving Franco to Jessie's care for the time being, Jack returned to the villa. It was harvest time, but things didn't seem to be going well.
“So, what are we looking for? There’s nothing here.”
Jason looked a little disappointed and looked at Jack and asked.
The so-called basement of Sam Eugene was a small cellar hidden under the living room floor. It was so empty and clean that a mouse could starve to death.
The other team members didn’t know what they were looking for yet, so they looked at the two of them with confused eyes.
Jack looked around, and finally landed on the wreckage of the two off-road vehicles outside the window.
"Clay, did you check the trunks of the two cars after you refinished the gun?"
"No, what are you talking about? Are we looking for something?" Clay shook his head, confused.
"We'll find out soon."
When Jack and the six SEALs reunited in the living room, the table in the middle of the room was already filled with yellow gold nuggets. Stacking them in a pile has a much stronger visual impact than placing the same pile of banknotes.
Jason and his team members looked at this group of people and couldn't move their eyes away as quickly as possible. The eyes of several people were reflected in gold.
Lei, who was standing next to Jason, swallowed, picked up one of the pieces and checked it, his voice was a little tight when he spoke.
"Each piece weighs about 50 ounces. Even if it is not of the highest purity, each piece is worth about 75,000 dollars. There are 29 pieces in total. We have made a fortune."
Jack was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the Eugene family actually hid most of their savings in this mountain villa. It seems that the FBI's raid on the vineyard will not yield much.
Jason didn’t say anything nonsense, he just took 5 gold nuggets out of the pile and put them aside.
"We each have 4 yuan. Without this FBI guy, we can't make this fortune, so we give him the extra yuan."
The other five people nodded, and Lei happily pulled him away. Four pieces of gold, and said with emotion: "Naima has always wanted to change to a bigger house, and now she can finally get her wish."
Sonny was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He was about to take his share from the table, but was stopped by Jason.
"Leave your share to Lei for safekeeping. I don't want you to spend all this money on the stripper's belly."
Lei Lehe took his share into himself In the bag, "Don't worry, I will return it to you after you get married, and I promise not to let your wife know about it." "Damn it, then I will never be able to get it back." Sonny looked annoyed.
Jack returned all the equipment on his body to the group of seals, and Jason indicated that he could keep the tactical backpack to contain gold.
Perhaps because of the time they spent together, the attitude of several SEALs toward Jack improved visibly. After saying goodbye to him warmly, they boarded the Black Hawk and left.
When David Rossi landed here in a huge EC-225 helicopter with red and white paint, he only saw a burning mountain villa and two vehicles. The frame of the off-road vehicle was left, and the wreckage of the off-road vehicle was still smoking.
"This is what Jason asked me to give to you."
Jack stepped forward and handed a memory card to Rosie, which contained a copy left by the SEALs. The video recorded their entire battle, excluding the last part where everyone shared the spoils.
Rosie was still wearing an expensive handmade suit with style. She looked at the two girls behind Jack and waved to urge a medical staff who had just got off the helicopter behind her to come forward for inspection.
"How's it going?" Rosie's question was a little vague, but Jack knew what he really wanted to ask.
“Nothing was left out, everything was cleaned up, the seals took away their rewards, and some of the rest are in my bag.”
Rosie waved his hand, he didn’t care about the money, “ You can keep the rest, you are not from the FBI yet."
Jack was a little dumbfounded. Although he did not intend to hand it over, he accepted this person's kindness.
The two of them didn't have much to talk about. Rossi already knew everything about what happened. He was also very satisfied with Jack's performance. Although he had not officially joined the FBI, he had already given him a big gift.
No matter what the final exploration results of the gold mine are, the mining conditions are there and they must have certain value.
"What are your plans later?" Rossi asked.
Jack shrugged: "Take a day off and continue my road trip."
Although it is a job to follow the seals, but if you can keep up with the rhythm of these killing machines without being delayed, it is not Most people can do it.
Jack was physically exhausted, but mentally satisfied. He personally participated in a professional paramilitary operation, which is probably an experience that most FBI agents have never had.
"Then I won't disturb you. Remember to report to Quantico on time in one month. I will personally participate in your training evaluation."
Rosie glanced at Jessie not far away, eyes wide. A little more teasing.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to pick up the car, and the girl can come too, she has some documents to sign."
The EC-225 helicopter landed at the dilapidated gas station again At that time, the place had been razed to the ground, including the large hole behind the dilapidated iron house, which had also been completely filled.
Only Jack's Firebird was towed aside, still covered with the old tarpaulin.
Jack took Jessie's hand and jumped out of the helicopter. After leaving the rotor range, he turned around and waved goodbye to Rosie.
The wound pierced by the crossbow arrow still needs surgery. Rossi will take her directly to the hospital in Las Cruces, where Jessie's other two friends are already waiting. .
