Chapter 755 Medal of Valor
In the middle of the night, the two old men went out for a date openly, and the soldiers below naturally dispersed, although Hotchner still had some questions.
For example, why did Jack decisively kill the first responder? At that time, Hotchner was still in a state of concussion and slight blood loss. He had not recovered much at this time, and he was not very clear about everything that happened at the scene.
However, Jack has always given him the impression that he is a person with a more delicate mind. Even though he has killed far more than ordinary agents, he is quite decisive when shooting, but every time he shoots, he follows the procedure, or in other words, he is very decisive. Reasons why criminals must be killed.
Of course Hotchner didn’t know that when Jack was a patrol officer in the LAPD, he also deliberately broke the body camera to carry out a "just verdict", but someone who usually acts too cautiously, occasionally when he deliberately makes things difficult, They will also try their best to make use of the rules.
There was no rush anyway, so Hotchner returned to the hospital first, accompanied by Emily and Reid. While Joyner completed the operation, he also needed a good rest.
In fact, if you have to strictly calculate the procedures, it was really illegal to shoot Jack this time, because the first responder did not show too many tricks at the time, nor did he show any threat in his behavior.
But Jack had to shoot again, because Joyner was in the opponent's hands at the time, and he had already guessed that there was something wrong with the ambulance. Any hesitation could cause an irreversible tragedy.
Heroes are usually judged by their results, and the credit this time was so great that even if he made some mistakes in his report later, there would be no unscrupulous guy coming to find fault.
Besides, this is just a little flaw in the procedure. From the appearance of the guy who stayed at the explosion site disguised as a civilian to approach Hotchner and Joyner, to the appearance of a certain "volunteer" first responder, everything It's all a conspiracy that has already been planned.
When Jack learned from Joey Reacher that the person being protected by the Secret Service was the current president of Bolivia, the last piece of the puzzle was put together.
The reason why the terrorists pretending to be civilians still pretended to be enthusiastic citizens to get close to Hotchner after detonating the bomb was to confirm the injuries of the two people and to let the people driving the ambulance loaded with explosives pretend to be first responders. The accomplice successfully appeared in front of the two injured FBI.
This is an insurance policy. Regardless of whether the police have linked previous random shootings to terrorist attacks, they guessed that the target of the attack might target emergency personnel at the scene, leading to the blockade of the explosion site.
They all must ensure that their emergency ambulance, filled with explosives, appears first and brings a wounded person with FBI status.
At the same time, this person is also a backup. If Hotchner and Joyner are both seriously injured or even die and one is injured, then he only needs to put on a uniform to transform into a first aid driver responsible for driving. personnel.
Perhaps the ambulance will still be stopped by Secret Service agents when it arrives at the hospital, but there is a dying FBI agent in the car, and a shot of nitroglycerin is added to create a sense of tension that he will be seriously injured and die in the next second, and enter the hospital through the blockade. The probability is very high.
However, all this was disturbed by Jack who appeared in time, even though Joey Reacher was not the supervisor of the Secret Service's protection mission today, which resulted in him not getting the Secret Service's protection. The person being protected was the current president of Bolivia. this information.
But later when Garcia told him that the previously tracked number had always been near the ambulance, Jack would not hesitate to subdue the ambulance and then check the vehicle.
Now it’s just a matter of writing the report with some finesse, such as writing a sentence where he noticed something was wrong with the first responder’s look, or behaved in a way that threatened Joyner, etc.
In fact, Jack was quite confident in his plug-in. How could Joyner's life be in danger after using the healing technique? The biggest flaw was the other party's rescue gesture when opening the car door. When Jack showed up at the operations center refreshed and refreshed the next day, he was met with the sad eyes of Jim Aubrey. He was sent by Jubal to act as a makeshift at the NYPD headquarters last night before the first explosion. Liaison officer.
If he could have stayed with Jack at that time, I dare not say anything else, it would definitely not be a problem to be promoted to senior agent this year.
Kankan had just written the report for half a morning. Rossi, who was holding his waist, appeared at the door of Jack's office and told him that the NSA and DHS had given a rare effort and had sent the last person to participate in this early this morning. Members of the "Dark Jihad" terrorist attack were arrested and brought to justice.
A total of 13 people participated in this terrorist attack. The planner was the bald man disguised as a first responder who was shot dead by Jack. He was the only member of the Durange drug cartel in New York. He is also a demolition expert.
The explosives in the emergency vehicle and the collar bomb originally installed around Alice's neck were both made by this person. The NSA is still investigating his true identity. It is believed that this person should be from the Venezuelan special forces. He is also He served as an instructor in the somewhat mythical "Hunter School".
Jack had watched a certain military-themed action movie called "Out of the Amazon" in his previous life. Although he was not sure whether the "Hunter School" in Venezuela in this world was as awesome as the one in that movie, judging from the performance of the bald man , this guy should have something.
These messages are just incidental. What Rosie came here to tell Jack was, "Early this morning, the ADX Florence Prison in Colorado reported that Anthony Vargas died in his single cell. The cause of death was heart disease. "Sick."
"That's really interesting. A guy who was not scared to death when he watched a bomb explode in front of his eyes through a layer of glass died in a single cell because of a heart attack." It's full of irony.
"Maybe it's just a delayed onset?" Rossi's smile was also sarcastic.
“This incident has nothing to do with us. Maybe it’s really just a coincidence, or maybe some people don’t want to be associated with terrorism because of what happened last night.”
Jack shrugged upon hearing this, "I hope that's the end of it. At least in the short term, I don't want to touch any more cases related to bombs or terrorist attacks."
"Then when you select the wanted criminals to hunt later, Be careful and tell me good news." Rossi smiled happily this time, from the bottom of his heart.
"You will receive a Medal of Valor (FBIMedal of Valor), and all members of the BAU operation team will receive a Medal of Bravery (FBIShield of Bravery)."
Why do you suddenly feel like you are appointed? Obviously this is not a formal decision. The decision to award such a medal will not be officially announced until at least a month due to the FBI's bureaucratic process.
The FBI's Medal of Valor is second only to the FBI Star Medal, and the latter is usually awarded only to agents who were bravely injured in important missions. After that, there is only the Memorial Star Medal, which only Family members can receive it because it is only awarded to fallen agents.
