Chapter 985 In Hawaii (12)
“No, actually I am a coward. During the first trial, I heard about the horrific experiences of the other three witnesses. I was so frightened that I fled back to New York and hid. In my mother's house."
Knowing that Jack was comforting himself, Julie spoke frankly about her previous experience, "I am actually a very bad guy."
"At least you stood up this time, didn't you? It's a pity that you don't like detective novels, but I don't know anyone about Joan Doe, otherwise I would definitely get you a signed novel by him for you."
Of course, Jack didn't know Joan Doe, because there was no such author at all. This was a pen name derived from the anonymous pronoun "John Doe" when he wrote those articles about bosses, similar to what a certain Internet celebrity legal expert said. "Zhang San".
In various cases, "John Doe" is usually used to refer to men who are unwilling to reveal their identity or whose identity cannot be confirmed. Correspondingly, there are also "Jane Doe" referring to women and "Baby Doe" referring to babies.
"That's a shame. In fact, my sister Lisa is a big fan of Joan Doe. She is five years younger than me and is my best friend. It is also because of her that I have the courage. Stand up and become a witness again. "
Julie's words surprised Jack. He stepped over a rotten tree trunk, turned back and stretched out his hand to signal her to hold on to him, and asked with a slight exertion.
“But you have to know that in this kind of case, once you agree to testify in court, it means you will enter the WPP (Federal Witness Protection Program), and it will be difficult to see her again from now on.”
"I understand, but Lisa has been different from normal children since she was a child. When my mother first filled out the caregiver questionnaire, I was young and had no idea what that meant."
Julie used her strength to cross the tree trunk, slightly out of breath.
"Autism?" Jack understood what she meant and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Julie nodded, "My mother has always been taking care of Lisa, but as she gets older, she has gradually begun to be unable to do what she can.
I originally planned to finish it in Hawaii. After studying, I saved a lot of money, so I took them all over and took over the responsibility of taking care of Lisa."
Now Jack was even more confused, "So, you shouldn't come back. Yes, joining WPP means that you will not be able to be with your loved ones for a long time.”
"You're right." Julie's voice became choked. "In fact, I used this reason to convince myself to hide back in New York, but one night, it was very late, probably already 11 o'clock. < br>
And Lisa usually goes to bed at 9 o'clock, but she knocked on my door that day, looked at me like that, and then stammered to me that Julie must go back to Hawaii to ensure that the bad guys don't Will hurt other good people again."
Jack stopped, feeling that a soft part in his heart seemed to be touched. "If this is the case, we may have to speed up. It is now 5 o'clock in the afternoon. There are less than two hours left.”
He didn’t say that the FBI would take over the case later. Even if she didn’t appear in court, Ellen Brenner wouldn’t be able to get away with such nonsense, since the girl in front of her. Now that she has made up her mind, she might as well let her realize her wish first.
Help Julie get to the court before five o'clock and let her send the bad guy to jail with her own hands. We can talk about the rest later, and it can be regarded as a surprise then.
However, just when Jack gave up his plan of hunting rabbits and was about to send Julie to the Honolulu Court first, someone unexpectedly caught up with her.
The two trudged hard in the jungle for nearly half an hour, and finally climbed onto a mountain ridge. Jack confirmed the position with the GPS again, pointed to the top of the mountain not far away and said.
“From the map, we can see the main road after climbing over the mountain. Let’s drink some water first. When we get there, we can wait for rescue with peace of mind.”
After that, he put his backpack on the On the ground, he first took out a water bottle and handed it to Julie, then took out a satellite phone and prepared to call Danny and Cheng Hao to inform them to come pick them up.
"Thank you, I even forgot to ask you what your name is." The girl straightened her sweat-soaked temples and showed a bright smile to Jack.
"Jack Tavole, from the FBI." Jack was about to press the call button, but suddenly stopped what he was doing. He stuffed the satellite phone back into his backpack and drew the gun with his right hand. He pulled Julie to him with his left hand. behind.
“Are they catching up?” Julie stumbled and almost lost her balance. She took two staggering steps and crouched behind Jack. After waiting for a long time, she saw no movement and moved closer to him. He asked softly in his ear.
"It should be." Jack sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know whether the two killers were too lucky or too lucky. He was ready to give up, but the other party took the initiative to send them to his door.
He pressed Julie's head and motioned her to squat behind him. The muzzle of the gun slowly moved along with the swaying position of the tropical plants in the forest. Soon, two figures wearing HPD uniforms came one after another. Later appeared on the path.
The guy in the lead had a fresh burn on his face. As he walked, he would pick a leaf from time to time and put it under his nose to smell it. Jack looked at the guy's movements, then looked back at Julie's sweaty face, and he probably guessed what was going on.
The other person obviously also has a sensitive dog nose, and because Julie has the same constitution that attracts mosquitoes as him, in addition to DEET, she also smeared half a bottle of cooling oil on her body.
After sweating, the cooling oil was washed away by the sweat and rubbed on the leaves along the way. In addition, they were walking higher along the forest path, so it was inevitable that they would leave some footprints, which made these two The goods smelled the smell and caught up with them.
"We can actually hide." As if aware of Jack's intention to fight one against two, Julie grabbed Jack's arm tightly.
Not long ago, an FBI fell at the gunpoint of these two killers to protect herself, and she did not want a similar scene to happen again.
"Believe me, if a guy like this fights again, he will not be my opponent." Jack put away the gun and patted the back of her hand, then pulled her and hid behind a lot of unknown large-leaf plants, and began to take off his bulletproof body. Vest.
“Do you dare to wear this and scare these two guys?”
Listening to Jack’s cheerful whisper of his plan, Julie’s eyes widened in horror, but she didn’t wait. She wanted to say something, but a stone was stuffed into her palm. Then the guy was as flexible as a monkey, and disappeared behind a big tree in a flash.
"Huhu." Perhaps appearance really enhances persuasion. Julie clenched the stone in her hand as if fascinated, and began to count silently in her heart.
Five, four, three, two, one, when the last number was counted, the girl suddenly appeared from behind a large bush of tangerine and let out a scream while waving the stone in her hand. He smashed hard at the two killers who were no more than ten meters away from him.
The two killers were startled by the sudden scream, but the guy walking in front, whose cheek was burned, reacted very quickly and avoided the stone thrown by Julie with a tilt of his head.
Seeing the girl standing there dumbly after throwing the stone, the killer couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile on his throbbing cheek. He pulled out the Glock with a silencer and wanted to end this time. The unfortunate mission.
At this time, neither he nor his companions behind him realized why the girl who had escaped alone before had a bulletproof vest on her body.
"Bang bang!" Bullets flying from nowhere broke the silence in the jungle. The two killers only felt a sharp pain in their wrists, and the Glock 17 in their hands almost fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Accompanied by the gunfire were two screams that were no less painful than the girl's scream just now.
At the same time, there was an overwhelming sound of "creaking" branches above the two people, followed by a "buzzing" sound breaking through the air. The last impression before they fell into coma was a huge pain from Tianling Gai.
“Come out, it’s done.”
Jack landed lightly next to the two killers who had fallen to the ground, waved to the dumbfounded Julie, and threw them away with some reluctance. I picked up a piece of dead branch I just picked up casually. Such a straight stick is rare, and it is really easy to hit people on the skull.
