Chapter 571 Another old-fashioned bullshit
"What do you think?" Jack turned to look at the two SWAT team members who came with him. One of them was a demolition expert and the other was a tactics expert.
"We have special demolition explosives. It's not a problem to blow a hole and then rappel in. However, it is best to conduct actual combat simulations." The two team members whispered to each other and said they could try it.
"Sorry, gentlemen, although this is just for display, the cost is exactly the same as the real thing. I can't help it. Uh." Doll Jonson's smile froze on his face.
Although he is very happy to cooperate with the FBI, after all, this is the best publicity for his own products, but the other party's attitude of demolishing the place can't help but make him feel a little hurt.
"Quote a price and the FBI will write you a check." Jack's words restored his smile.
The SWAT team members will stay here temporarily. They will call on other people to bring their equipment for actual combat testing to confirm whether the hostages can be kept safe during actual operations. Jack will drive back to Kirken's house after arranging these arrangements. villa.
He also conveniently copied a copy of the safe house design the other party sent him and passed it on to Justin. This security company still had something to offer, and he planned to keep it for reference. Some of the designs could be used in In my small farm, I regard it as a small use of power for personal gain.
When Jack returned to the villa, Hannah also happened to return. She found the apartment manager where Helton lived, who confirmed that Stephanie was indeed Helton's biological daughter.
The three of them gathered together and opened the communication video with Dana Moge who was sitting in the combat center.
"Stephanie's biological mother had a relationship with Helton before he joined the army, and after giving birth to her, she married a drug addict." Hannah's expression was quite difficult to explain when recounting this story.
“Therefore, the father Stephanie thought died of a drug overdose when she was 10 years old. Her mother also became seriously ill last year. Before she died, she contacted Helton again and informed him "So Stephanie's mother entrusted her to Helton, and Helton did take over the responsibility. After her death, he took care of Stephanie for half a year. "
Jubal suddenly realized, "No wonder we can't confirm the true relationship between the two in Stephanie's birth certificate or Helton's record."
" Yes, and according to the apartment manager, Helton is the best tenant she has ever seen. He often volunteers to help her with some maintenance work. Stephanie also has a good relationship with her. They often chat together. .”
Hannah continued, “I saw Stephanie’s bedroom, the master bedroom, and it was very cozy, and considering Helton’s job as a maintenance man, I had to admit that I was wrong about him.
His attitude towards this daughter who suddenly appeared is very caring. This guy is a good person. "
This is another comment about a good person. Jack scratched his head silently, but this world has no regard for him. The good guys don't seem to be very nice.
"So what's the problem? Does the apartment manager know the whereabouts of Stephanie?" Jubal asked eagerly, and there was less than an hour left.
Hannah sighed, which was why her expression was so incomprehensible before, "According to Julie, the apartment manager, the relationship between Helton and Stephanie has always been somewhat tense. About a month ago, the relationship between the two People had a big quarrel
Helton has always been a little overprotective of Stephanie because of her family of origin, and the 16-year-old Stephanie happened to be in a rebellious stage."
"So Stephanie ran away from home? "Jack felt that he was in big trouble now. Where can he find someone like this?
Hannah shook her head, "I don't know if this counts as running away from home. Helton suspects that Stephanie is secretly hiding. Smoking 'American herb' or taking drugs, so she was banned for a month.
The latter was so angry that she borrowed some money from Julie, the apartment manager, and wanted to take a long car ride to Florida to find a cousin of hers, and then come back after they both calmed down. "Jack put his hand on his forehead and let out a long sigh. This is all a bloody plot, and it's this damn adolescence. It's obvious that the female Shabby apartment manager must have secretly helped Stephanie hide it from Helton.
"What is this? 'Girlhelpsgirl'? Have you tried contacting Stephanie's cousin?"
Dana Moger is also a mother of a teenage daughter, no matter what the female apartment manager did She was also angry about Stephanie's behavior of running away from home.
“This is the problem.” Hannah rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, “I just contacted Stephanie’s cousin in Fort Lauderdale, and she confirmed the apartment manager’s information about the father and mother. The woman's statement that she was having a conflict also confirmed that Stephanie was going to find her, but she said that Stephanie did not show up. "
"This doesn't make sense." Jack discovered the blind spot, "Stephanie is a future. As an adult, didn’t her cousin try to contact Helton or call the police?”
“No, she said she received a text message on the day Stephanie was supposed to arrive, saying that she and Helton were The situation has eased, so she will stay in New York.”
Hannah said as she flashed her phone, "I have confirmed that the number that sent the text message does indeed belong to Stephanie. I also went to the Queens Long Distance Station to retrieve the surveillance from three weeks ago and have sent it to the operations center."< br>
Dana Moger in the communication video turned around and asked loudly, "Can anyone tell me if there are any results from facial recognition?"
"Yes, sir, we just found her, It shows that Stephanie did buy a ticket to Fort Lauderdale," one analyst replied, looking up from the screen.
“So she bought a long-distance bus ticket but didn’t arrive in Florida. What happened to her? This is not a movie. There is no way she could meet Mr. Right and live happily ever after, right?< br>
Calling up all the police calls near the station that night, I want to know what happened that night," Dana Moger ordered with some annoyance, and then turned to face the screen again.
"Jubal, is there any way to delay the time?"
Jubal looked embarrassed, "We just confirmed Helton's statement, but we have no clue about Stephanie's whereabouts. I think we should contact him now. , but it will make him more emotional, which is not good for the safety of the hostages."
"What about the SWAT team's attack plan?" Dana Moger asked Jack again.
“They are still studying how to incapacitate the suspect as soon as possible after opening a hole in the ceiling to ensure the chance of hostage survival, but the current results are not optimistic.
Even if they take the risk in sealing Using shock bombs indoors, then rappelling down and shooting directly, the chance of survival of the hostages is less than 50%, they still need time.”
Jack has just contacted the leader of the SWAT team, this is the latest development so far.
"OK, let's wait another 15 minutes. If there is still no progress after 15 minutes, notify the SWAT team to prepare for a storm." After Dana Moger finished speaking, she hung up the communication video with a dark face.
"How about I try to communicate with Helton again, maybe I can successfully buy some time?" Jubal seemed a little unsure when he said these words.
"Just wait another 15 minutes, hope a miracle happens." Jack said helplessly. He had one last resort, which was to replace the SWAT team members and go into battle in person, but even he was not completely sure.
