Chapter 811 Prison Break (1)
More than three hours later, the Gulfstream landed at a small airport. Jack got off the plane refreshed and with a blushing face.
Private jets are much more convenient and faster than business flights. If you take an ordinary flight, you will waste a lot of time waiting for the flight, and the speed is not as fast as the Gulfstream flying at Mach 0.8 per hour.
Jack secretly made up his mind that when their wanted criminal team becomes famous and can compete with other teams across the country for missions, they must set up a Gulfstream 24-hour standby like the BAU team. .
The only drawback may be that the business jets equipped by the FBI will not be equipped with beautiful flight attendants, but he can bring his own.
Allenwood is located in north-central Pennsylvania, less than a hundred kilometers from the Canadian border. It is a remote town covered with forests.
At this time, the rest of the team had rushed to the prison where the accident occurred. This time, Alice also accompanied the command vehicle. Clay drove a GMC alone to pick up the people at the airport.
"Have you found the helicopter?" Jack asked as soon as he got off the plane.
Clay shook his head, "Not yet. According to the witness's description, it should be a Double Star helicopter flying east."
The Double Star helicopter is the "AS- The 355" Squirrel helicopter is low-cost and easy to maintain. It is a very common civilian helicopter model in the United States.
While Clay was driving, Jack searched on his mobile phone. This helicopter can fly at a maximum speed of about 270 kilometers per hour. If it goes east, it is in the direction of New York, and the straight-line distance to here is less than 260 kilometers.
Even if the pilot kept flying at a low altitude to prevent being discovered, he should have reached his destination by now. He wouldn't have made the trip in vain, right?
"Why don't they run north? Go directly to Canada?" Jack asked this question, which made Clay, who was driving, and Jiejie, who was reading the briefing, both stunned.
“It’s only more than 100 kilometers directly north to New York State. The area around Lake Ontario is sparsely populated. You can cross the border with a little disguise. When you get to Canada, there are many ways to disguise yourself and sneak back to Mexico.”
Jie Jie Thoughtfully, "Maybe it's because the Zapotec drug cartel to which Maldonado belongs does not have much power in Canada?
It's strange to say that they have influence in Pennsylvania and New York State, so why did the DEA insist on transferring him here for interrogation.
Obviously, the Florida where he was previously was the territory of Colombians, and they were in a hostile relationship with this group of Mexicans. Even if Maldonado succeeded in escaping from prison there, it would be difficult to get help. "
"Believe me, even if you ask the DEA people with this question, they can find 100 reasons for you. "Jack's expression was a little disdainful.
Clay's expression was a little hesitant and a little unbelievable, "I can understand that you just hinted that the DEA was involved in this prison break? "
Jack looked determined, "Of course it is impossible for the official, and it is impossible to stage such a big battle. It would be easier to use some tricks during the transfer than to have a bomb and a helicopter to rob the prison." Much simpler.
In addition, I am not hinting, but telling everyone clearly that no matter who the DEA sends later, it is best not to believe a word of the other party. ”
Clay still had a bit of disbelief on his face. As a former SEAL, it was difficult for him to understand the intrigue and mutual distrust within the federal department.
After all, seals are Team B is not so important as shown in some movies that it becomes a piece of paper that can be discarded at any time in the eyes of the senior officials, and it can be betrayed and tricked to death at every turn
Besides, the federal senior officials are not. They have never been monolithic, and the Joint Special Operations Command to which the SEALs belong is nominally under the direct command of the president
Their cooperation with the CIA and DEA, although there may occasionally be some discord due to intelligence errors or different positions. , but most of the time, the relationship between them is trustworthy
After all, Clay had previously experienced secret operations at the national level. The level of confidentiality was extremely high, and the possibility of encountering a traitor was extremely low. Now Jack's straightforward statement made it difficult for him to adapt for a while. Fortunately, some things are not difficult to understand. Whether it is the CIA or the DEA, it is not news to support drug trafficking groups overseas. It is only natural that some scum colluded with drug lords among the people below. Clay is very I won’t worry about this anymore.
When everyone arrived at the prison where the incident occurred, many reporters and media people were already gathered at the door. Clay, who was driving, had to sound the siren several times before letting these guys give in. Create a channel.
The three of them walked into a large temporarily cleared office. A black sergeant wearing a state police uniform was talking to Jubal.
"This is Sergeant Rowland, the head of the State Police Tactical Division."
Jubal gave a brief introduction to both parties, and then frowned in a Sichuan shape. "The ground search has not found anything yet. So far, the state police have used 4 helicopters to conduct a blanket search."
" Have you got all the equipment?" Jack looked at Hannah.
"Yes, including your Barrett." Hannah glanced suspiciously at Jie Jie, who was looking very good, and made a face at her.
"Let's go to the prison monitoring room first. Alice should have already obtained the surveillance video, and the warden is also there." Jubal suggested.
Leaving the rest of the people behind, the two walked and talked. Jack asked, "Are the surrounding airports blocked? In order to avoid radar, helicopters can only fly at low altitudes throughout the entire process, which will attract a large number of witnesses.< br>
Therefore, they should change transportation immediately after leaving the prison. Highways are easy to be checked. The fastest way to leave is to apply for a private jet with a good route in advance. "
"I have also thought of this. I immediately issued a blockade notice. Now the state police are investigating. You know, there are too many small airports here. At present, we can only ensure that there are no private passengers after the incident. The plane took off without permission. ”
As a supervisor in charge, Jubal has much more experience than Jack, so after that he basically focused on listening and understanding the situation without giving too many instructions.
Two People walked into the monitoring room, and Alice was busy in front of the computer. Allenwood Prison was a large prison that could accommodate 2,000 prisoners. There were thousands of cameras inside and outside the prison. Even if it was just to retrieve the surveillance video with the right angle one by one according to the time, , which is also a rather tedious job.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the warden turned out to be a white aunt who looked to be in her 50s, with extremely hard facial lines and a tingly voice. The severe cigarette voice reminded Jack of the strict deans in school back then.
The two began to watch the video that Alice had compiled. The time of the accident was 8:20 in the morning. With a loud bang in the boiler room, flames and thick smoke instantly filled the entire D Ward.
"I immediately ordered the entire prison to be sealed off. All fire doors except Area D were closed, and I asked the prison guards to immediately count the number of people." The female warden standing behind the two people looked at the screen and introduced road.
“So the prisoners in Area D, including Maldonado, were all evacuated from Area D at that time, but according to the plan, you would not let the prisoners run around in the release area, but planned to Is it right to concentrate them in this temporary isolation area surrounded by barbed wire?"
Jack clicked on the prison map hanging on the wall. The release area is about the size of a football field and can be easily used. The next helicopter landed, and the isolation area blocked by barbed wire was on the other side, with an area only half the size of a basketball court.
Prisoners who have been evacuated from Area D can also run directly to the release area before being driven into the isolation area, but they will be discovered by the guards on the watchtower.
The female warden said sullenly, "Yes, because Maldonado was transferred from a high-level prison, I arranged a separate cell for him. After the explosion and fire, the prison guards opened all the cell doors in the D area, and he were released together with other prisoners."
Alice clicked the mouse and the scene switched to a wide-angle lens mounted on the watchtower. Almost at the same time that the prisoners were evacuated, a plane appeared in the southeast. helicopter.
