Chapter 958 In Washington, D.C. (Part 1)
There was no way to stay in the parking lot of this steak restaurant. Jack called Jubal and asked him to notify the local FBI office and cooperate with the police department to come and clean the floor. Two cars The car continued towards New York.
As they approached the city of New Haven, they found a 24-hour roadside restaurant to fill their stomachs. There was a motel next door to the restaurant.
This time Jack learned his lesson. When choosing a room, he chose a location several rooms away from Rachel, which finally prevented the demonic sound from reaching his ears.
Actually, Reacher is relatively reserved, but Dixon, an authentic American girl, doesn’t care much about others. Maybe she has been coveting someone for too long, and finally got what she wanted this time, without eating a piece of cake. Never stop having fun.
They split up early the next morning. The driver of the Cayenne was replaced by O'Donnell, who took Jack and Reacher home first.
You can tell from his house that this guy made a lot of money from all those dirty little hookups he did in Washington. Not just anyone can afford to buy a masonry building around Washington, D.C. A small building.
O'Donnell's wife looks less than 30 years old. She has black hair and a slim figure typical of the wealthy American class. It is completely impossible to tell that she is already two little boys in their sixties or seventies. 's mother.
Jack and Rachel each held a bottle of beer in their hands and stared blankly at the two little bastards chasing each other around the house.
Of course the children didn’t know what was going on, but O’Donnell’s wife’s performance was quite impressive. When her husband asked her to take the children to North Carolina for two days in a evasive manner, she immediately said nothing. He packed up his things without saying anything.
"Have you got the epinephrine syringe?" O'Donnell stuffed several stuffed animals into his small school bag.
"I also brought the asthma spray, all with me." The woman quickly stuffed a suitcase to the top.
O'Donnell warned a little uneasily, "Keep your anonymous mobile phone with you, don't contact anyone, don't contact your parents, and most importantly don't contact your sister, she goes to everything. Posted on Facebook.
When you arrive in Asheville, stay in the city center. There are a lot of tourists there at this time. Try to blend in and use cash instead of credit cards.”
“I know the rules. "After packing up, O'Donnell's wife looked at her husband seriously and said, "On a scale of one to ten, how bad is the situation this time?"
O'Donnell comforted him with twinkling eyes, "You'll be fine, we're just acting out of caution."
Seeing his wife staring at him, he sighed, "Okay, yes. For you, 4 points at most."
"What about you?" the woman said softly. She obviously didn't care about herself and her children the most.
"We are dealing with some very bad villains, but now their methods are pretty much the same, and I have these friends by my side. Nothing will happen. It will be over in a few days at most." Donner's assurance.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety, for me and the children." The woman kissed O'Donnell on the face and shouted to the two naughty children to go upstairs and pack their clothes.
"She didn't seem panicked at all and accepted it all calmly." Reacher probably understood why a certain former playboy was eaten to death.
“She is the daughter of the head nurse of the emergency department and the captain of the fire brigade. She is very strong.” O’Donnell said with unconcealable pride in his tone.
"Smart, beautiful, brave, and strong, so why would such a woman marry you? Will the beauty save the hero if he loses the bet?" Jack joked. Reacher opened another bottle of beer and drank slowly, "I once thought you would die in pain because your lower body rotted, and then a bunch of ex-girlfriends would fight over your 2004 Mazda."

O'Donnell raised his middle finger towards each of them, "I just finally met the right person, and you, Jack, are you sure you have the right to laugh at me?"
< br>
Jack looked at Rachel angrily, and when he looked away in embarrassment, he knew that this guy must have betrayed him. O'Donnell had only regarded Jie Jie as his girlfriend before.
But he quickly found a reason for himself, "Actually, I'm the same as you, I just have better luck. I meet more of the right girls, and I don't want to let them down."

“According to your proposal, DHS has been focusing on finding traces of the mysterious “AM”. We suspect that the murder of a state trooper in Pennsylvania last night was related to him.”
The people who received Jack and Reacher in the DHS office were still the two agents who had followed Reacher's brother Joey to New York before. Jack still remembered that the older one among them was named Omar Karim.
Agent Karim continued, "The state trooper stopped a car with Colorado license plates and was killed while reporting the identity of the driver. The murderer stabbed her heart with a precise knife."
" Why do you suspect that the murderer of this state trooper is related to 'AM'? Is there anything captured on the body camera?" Jack asked curiously.
Detective Karim shook his head regretfully, "Nothing was captured. It was already late at night, and there were no witnesses around. The murderer was very experienced in destroying the police officers' body cameras, and The memory card including the police car camera was taken away.
But the responsible female police officer had already reported the driver's license information to the command center, and we discovered the driver's identity and that of a man who was killed in Denver, Colorado one day ago. The plastic surgeon matched it. "
As he spoke, he placed a photo in front of the two of them. It showed a white man with black hair, black eyes and deep features. He looked to be in his thirties or forties and was very handsome.
"You suspect that 'AM' killed this plastic surgeon who looked somewhat similar to yourself and replaced his identity?" Reacher understood what he meant.
"It's not suspicion, but almost certainty." Detective Karim showed several photos of the scene, which showed a total of two deceased people, the female nurse at the front desk of the clinic and the doctor himself in the office.
"Although our previous operations failed to catch the cunning 'AM', it also forced him to give up those false names that might all be exposed. He could only temporarily find an alternative identity and drive to New York "
"There was no loss of cash in the clinic, and the murderer only took away the deceased's driver's license?"
Jack said, flipping through the autopsy report. All the injuries were fatal. On the side of the neck, he was very professional and cut off the carotid artery and trachea with one knife. The victim did not even have a chance to call for help.
They also shared the intelligence they had obtained so far, including the truth about the "Little Wings" project. When they heard that this case involved 650 portable air defense missiles and a transaction amount of 65 million, the two DHS agents couldn't help but get excited.
"We must take immediate action to blockade the Denver factory and confirm the whereabouts of those missiles. 'AM' must go to New York to complete the final deal."
Just when Jack was hesitant to let go When they called Joey Reacher over and told them a senator was involved, his phone started ringing.
The call came from Clay and Aubrey, who were pretending to be inspectors from the Defense Contract Administration and went to the "New Era Technology" military factory in Denver to conduct an inspection this morning.
They had just experienced a dangerous gun battle and killed five gunmen. However, because the vehicle they were driving was smashed, they were unable to stop a hijacked 18-wheel large container truck from leaving in time. .
