Chapter 675 Curtain Call
"Show time, honey." Hannah held Jack's arm affectionately, waving a small stars and stripes flag with a smile on her face, not knowing where she had just pulled it out of the car. of.
“The 400-pound explosive is not small, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find. There is a negative floor below the venue on the first floor. There is a gym with toilets, lockers and bathrooms. Find it there first. Get up."
Jack also smiled, but whispered something that did not match his expression.
The so-called Ulster County Entertainment Center is a comprehensive multi-functional venue that can be used to hold various indoor sports competitions, such as basketball, badminton, etc.
After hanging a curtain and placing a podium, and placing tables and chairs underneath, it can be transformed into an auditorium. In addition to the indoor part, there is also a simple baseball field outside the entertainment center, with a stand that can accommodate nearly a thousand people.
The baseball field is usually open. At this moment, some fitness enthusiasts are jogging along the track. Comparing the information introduction just sent by the combat center with what he saw in front of him, Jack looked around. The environment has been roughly counted.
Just as I was about to close my phone, there was another vibration, and then two photos appeared on the screen. At the same time, Jubal’s voice came from the headset, “The ERT team just confirmed that The fingerprints of these two people, Robbins and Lindsay, should be Emma Kane’s other two accomplices. "
Neither Jack nor Hannah responded. At this time, they were approaching the metal detector at the entrance. The aisle on one side was crowded with people, and several police officers from the local county police were there. We are working hard to maintain order and slow down the speed of people entering the venue in accordance with the previous requirements of the FBI.
Secondly, several unfamiliar responses came from the communication channel. They should be the members of Lacroix's "Wanted Criminals Department" who found Emma Kane and her Two accomplices are now on their mission.
There were quite a few people who came to attend the citizenship ceremony. In addition to those who were preparing to take the oath, there were also their relatives and friends, as well as some tourists watching the excitement. However, most of them were blocked outside by the deliberately slow security check.
Arriving at the other side of the aisle specially set aside by the county police, Jack lifted his windbreaker slightly, showed the police badge on his waist without revealing any trace, and then raised four fingers to indicate that he and the three people behind him were together. of.
The county policeman calmly stepped back to make way for the passage, and the four people filed in. Jack turned around and whispered softly, "Don't turn on the signal shield until you find something or receive an order."< br>
The use of signal jammers also has disadvantages. Although it can absolutely guarantee safety if turned on too early, it will also completely isolate surrounding signals, including mobile phones and the communicators they are currently using, and they will completely malfunction.
And turning on the signal shield in advance is likely to alert the other party. While it is important to prevent the bomb from detonating, it is also crucial to catch Emma Kane and her accomplices in one fell swoop.
Although this group of guys is a bit of a loser, and their plans may appear to be well-planned but actually have a lot of flaws, they are extremely capable of action. Compared to the extremists in the federation who mainly talk about things, the destructiveness of Kane's gang cannot be underestimated.
And people will make progress. I don’t know how many terrorists have grown up little by little in the battle of wits and courage with the authorities, so you must not miss the opportunity to catch them all, otherwise the opponent will come back next time. Maybe it's not that easy to deal with.
Hannah nodded slightly, gave him a peck on the cheek, turned around and led the two bomb disposal experts to the stairs leading to the negative floor. At this time, several FBI agents who had also just arrived also He quickly followed.
Because he was not sure whether the other party would arrange manpower to guard the bomb until the last moment, Jubal sent all his manpower to Hannah who was on a mission to search for the bomb.
Jack was still alone here. He walked quickly to the other side, where there was a maintenance passage that could go directly to the rooftop. At this time, other people's communication came from his headset.
"Boss, we saw Emma's men in the northwest corner. They are staring at the entrance. Robbins is on the phone. His expression looks a little uneasy. He may be guessing why the entrance is taking so long." The speaker was Lark. One of Ruwa's team members. "Keep an eye on them first, and I will continue to look for the 'Queen Bee.'" Lacroix's voice was slow and unhurried, and there was no hint of any anxiety.
The "Wanted Criminals Unit" is much more famous than the always low-key BAU action team, because they deal with some extremely vicious criminals who are on wanted orders and receive media attention. The degree is naturally much higher.
Although there is still a gap between the two in their status within the FBI, Lacroix, who can lead such an action team, is naturally superior. Although Jubal's wave of praise at the time was a bit mischievous, but It's not completely groundless.
"The bomb has been found. No timing device was found in the gym's storage room. It is ready to be dismantled." Just as Jack climbed onto the rooftop, Hannah's slightly nervous voice came from the channel, Anyone looking at this big box of plastic explosives that could explode at any time will feel their throat tightening.
"Wait a moment, get in position immediately, have you found Emma?" Jack put down the gun case, took out the G28E, screwed on the silencer, loaded the magazine, and waited for Lacroix's confirmation.
The channel was quiet for a moment, and then came Lacroix's answer, "Found her, on the bench south of the center, pink shirt, green jacket."
Jack quickly Running to the south, he squatted down behind the parapet. As the crosshairs of the scope moved slowly, he first aimed at Lacroix, who was pushing a mountain bike and wearing sunglasses pretending to be a fitness professional. Then he followed His eyes found a figure sitting on a bench more than ten meters away.
"I'm in position."
Emma Kane's face in the sight is a little haggard, holding the mobile phone in her hand, her body is shaking slightly, and she looks towards the direction of the entertainment center from time to time. His eyes were filled with malice and deep-seated hatred.
"Our men who controlled Emma did not find the remote control." Hearing the announcement from the headset, Jack immediately ordered, "Hannah, cut off the wireless signal and dismantle the bomb."
With the wireless signal The jammer was turned on, and there was a rustling electronic background sound in Jack's ears. Two passers-by who were talking on the phone around the baseball field put down their mobile phones from their ears in confusion, and one of them subconsciously patted his knee.
Emma Kane, who was sitting on the bench, noticed something strange around her. She glanced at the mobile phone in her hand and immediately put it on the bench with a nervous look. Her arms trembled slightly and she took it out of her coat pocket. He took out a toy car remote control.
"Emma Kane!" Lacroix, who had already walked up to her, suddenly shouted in a deep voice. The moment she raised her head in panic, Jack pulled the trigger. In less than half a second, it was less than a hundred seconds. The bullet from a distance of three meters arrived in an instant, piercing into her forehead and leaving a trail of blood mist on the grass beside her.
Almost at the same time, Lacroix took a half-step forward, firmly grasped Emma Kane's right hand holding the remote control with both hands, and carefully opened her fingers to take off the remote control. Then he slowly let go, letting the body slowly collapse on the bench.
"Zila. Zila, the bomb is deactivated." As the communication was restored, Hannah's voice came first on the channel.
"The suspect is down." As if in response to her, Lacroix whispered, then turned to look at the rooftop of the entertainment center, squinting slightly with a deep forehead wrinkle.
"Well done, Agent Tavole."
