Chapter 709 Accidental Firefight
In a warehouse area in Brooklyn, a drone circled a five-story concrete warehouse building and slowly landed on a small area surrounded by containers. in the open space.
When Jack and Aubrey arrived near the target warehouse, the NYPD police officers who received the notification had quietly blocked the surrounding roads, and only allowed passage after confirming their IDs.
Nearly all FBI-SWAT personnel were dispatched to surround this warehouse building covering an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. Snipers working in pairs have already occupied the commanding heights.
The terrain near the warehouse is complex and there are stacked containers everywhere, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that there are many bunkers, which makes it easier for personnel to hide and not be easily discovered. The disadvantage is that the snipers' field of vision is extremely poor. In addition, it is already evening, and the dusty glass windows on the warehouse walls effectively block the observer's line of sight.
The temporary joint command center was set up on the third floor of another building more than 150 meters away from the target building. Various technical support teams that arrived one after another quickly set up various display and communication equipment here.
This is diagonally opposite the parking lot behind the warehouse. Standing at the window, you can clearly see the gray BMW with the license plate removed.
Leaving the wife of the suspect Octavio into the custody of two colleagues, Jack and Aubrey walked into the temporary joint command center, where they saw Jubal who was observing the parking lot with a telescope.
"Madam, did you kick you out of the office again?" Jack asked with a smile.
Jubal shrugged helplessly, "Yes, Dana took over the operations center. She was worried that Octavio would not be easily captured, so she hoped that I would be responsible for on-site negotiations."
Dana Moger She hardly showed up today. After all, it was just an ordinary kidnapping case before. As an assistant director, she had no time to pay attention to such a small case.
It turned out to be a hostage taking, and the suspect also had a military background. The SWAT team of the New York office was fully mobilized, so she naturally needed to take over the command.
After all, many things required her to decide or authorize on the spot, such as whether to kill the suspect.
Jack adjusted the wireless headset to be consistent with the public command channel on site, and then looked around, but did not find Hannah.
Jubal pointed directly south, "There is also a forward command center set up on the roof of another three-story building opposite the warehouse. The view there is better, but it is not suitable for too many people. Hannah, send your equipment there. You'll be in charge there."
"OK, I'll go over now."
Jack was about to ask the newcomer Aubrey to follow him. A SWAT commander came quickly. He quickly came to Jubal and reported, “The nearby buildings have all been cleared, a total of 6 All the snipers were in position, and we determined through the infrared camera on the drone that there were four human body heat sources in the target building."
Jubal nodded, "It is consistent with what we have, we can assume that they are. They are Octavio, his son, and two doctors.
The fiber optic camera is placed through the vent. We need to see the situation inside. It is getting dark, and the pair of snipers are here. The words are very unfavorable.
However, we inform all units not to act rashly for the time being, to avoid the worst situation. The other party should not have discovered us yet, so we should take advantage of this. "
The SWAT commander nodded to express his understanding and turned around to arrange the operation. Jack was not in a hurry anymore and simply stayed here to wait for the fiber optic cameras to be deployed.
This five-story warehouse The building covers a large area, and there is only one suspect. This gives the FBI the opportunity to arrange the situation calmly. Under the cover of SWAT team members, members of the technical team send long optical fibers into the building through the ventilation ducts on both sides of the building.
Soon the internal situation of the warehouse was shown on the screen. In the west corner were piles of building materials, wooden boards and other debris, occupying less than half of the space. In the middle, there was a room made of aluminum alloy and double-layer partitions. The operating room, which is built with glass panels and large floor-to-ceiling glass, covers an area of about 40 to 50 square meters.
One of the cameras is in a perfect position, facing the operating room from directly above. Although the resolution is average, it is enough. Take a look at the situation inside. The equipment in the operating room is not much different from that in a general hospital operating room. From oxygen tanks, operating beds, shadowless lamps to ventilators and life-support equipment, you can see that the two The bastard doctor has really spent a lot of money on this before.
At this time, the operation has begun. The little boy on the operating bed looks like he has just finished anesthesia. Dr. Lucas Caldwell is making a skin incision, and the innocent anesthesiologist Dr. Nicole Wright Having become his assistant, the two of them were busy with their heads down.
At first glance, this scene looks like an ordinary surgical operation being performed in an ordinary hospital, except that there are a few doctors and nurses on site. The only thing that is out of place is that there is an extra one at the door of the operating room. A man in civilian clothes was holding an automatic weapon and pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Jack, is it feasible for you to lead a team to carry out a raid?" Jubal also saw this scene. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still asked with a just-in-case mentality.
Although he has never witnessed Jack's magical combat power on the spot, this guy has too many wonderful achievements in the past. Moreover, Jack was called by a certain T1-level special forces to help. He saw it with his own eyes.
Jack shook his head repeatedly and said that he was not a god. He could try unofficial actions. He could just touch in carefully and kill them with one shot.
But now there are hundreds of people gathered at the scene. This is not a temporary operation. If such a simple and crude action plan is put forward, even if it succeeds, it is estimated that they will be held accountable.
He pointed to the assault rifle held by Octavio on the screen and explained, "This is an AR-15 with a 30-round magazine, not the kind of junk that uses a bump stock. .
This warehouse is too big. There is at least a distance of more than ten meters from the entrances to the operating room. The other party is an elite soldier who has fought with drug gangs. As long as someone breaks in, there will almost be a firefight. It is inevitable. It is difficult to ensure the safety of the hostages in this case."
Jack paused and added, "Also, don't try to use shock bombs, the child's abdominal cavity will soon open and shock. The power of the explosive bomb is almost fatal to him."
"It seems that negotiating first is the best strategy. I will communicate the situation with the operations center. You can go to the forward command center first. The scene pictures have been synchronized."
After finishing speaking, Jubal picked up his mobile phone. , dialed to Dana Moge.
Jack took Aubrey downstairs and walked between several containers to the three-story building on the other side. However, the scene he saw made him frown. SWAT arranged The encirclement is too obvious in some places.
The positions of the sniper teams were relatively concealed, but several commandos responsible for covering them casually mounted their assault rifles on the parapet of the roof, and pointed their guns clearly at the large building in front of the warehouse. glass windows.
As long as Octavio in the warehouse took a few steps away from the door of the operating room and looked up out of the window, all these guys would be exposed.
Jack didn't understand why SWAT would make such a stupid mistake. Perhaps Jubal's meaning was not conveyed through their commander, and there was a communication problem.
He was about to stop and give another warning on the communication channel, when suddenly Hannah's slightly nervous voice came from the earphones, "We observed an abnormality at the window, Octavio was looking out. !"
"Damn it! What is he going to do?" It was obvious that Jubal also saw this scene, and his exclamation came from the earphones, followed by a sound in the next second. There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, and gunfire sounded suddenly.
Jack subconsciously pulled Aubrey, who was following him, behind the container. There was loud gunfire all around. The SWAT team members who were attacked directly fought back, and the large glass windows on the front of the warehouse shattered. crack.
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire!" Jubal shouted angrily from the channel.
