The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

Chapter 278 The warden whose head was shot

"Hello, I'm Jessica Cortez." In the seat next to her, a Latina woman in her forties was stunned for a moment when she saw the heavily armed Jack, and then took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Jess, this is Jake Tavole, we've known each other since he was an LAPD officer."

Hong Duo took the initiative to introduce Jack, and his rather intimate name made Jack look sideways slightly.

"Oh, it's you. Zoe once talked about you with me. It's a pity that both of you have left LAPD now." Jessica Cortez showed a regretful expression of LAPD's loss of talent.

Hannah secretly curled her lips.

Jack said a few words modestly, introduced Jiejie and Emily behind him, and explained the situation.

"Dr. Reid and Director Hotchner are still missing. I need to go in and bring them out, but don't worry, I won't hold back your team members."

"I am Ash Jones, the contractor of this prison." Next to Jessica Cortez, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie also stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with everyone with a big smile.

"Let's talk about the situation you have, including the specific identities of the 18 hostages."

Obviously, Hondo didn't have a good impression of this guy, so he simply got to the point.

"Okay, okay." Ash Jones took out a handkerchief, wiped the dense sweat on his bald head, and pressed a few times on the display screen to enlarge the photos one by one.

"The hostages are the warden, six guards, eight construction workers doing maintenance work inside, two priests and a nun."

"Wait a minute, Sister Carmelita is in there too?" Hondo asked in surprise, pointing to the last woman in the photo, who looked to be in her forties or fifties.

"Do you know her?" Jessica Cortez turned her head and was also surprised.

"Yes, she often travels to and from various prisons, praying with the prisoners and helping them regain their faith. She is a really good person, and she does what she does. Sometimes she would ask me to communicate with those prisoners."

Hondo looked a little ugly, obviously worried about the nun. A woman fell into the hands of a group of rioting prisoners. Even if she was a nun, the risk of being violated was still much higher than that of other hostages.

"Negotiation experts are communicating with the prisoners. It is said that she may be injured, but they refuse to release her." Jessica Cortez looked sad.

"Negotiations with the prisoners are not going well, and I need you to come up with a plan of action."

As she spoke, she opened a 3D architectural structure drawing.

"This is the layout of the main building. The main riot area is currently limited to the top four floors. All the prisoners inside are serious criminals. There are more than 300 people in total, roughly divided into three main gangs."

"The southern part is Area B, which is controlled by the 'Baha Horned Dragon Gang'. The hostages they hold are the eight construction workers who are doing maintenance work inside."

"The northern part is Area A, which fell into the hands of the ' Gang' together with six prison guards. Area C is controlled by the 'Spicy Crispy Eagles', a group of white supremacists. They captured the warden and three Clergy."

After Jessica Kertz finished her introduction, Hannah projected the contents of the tablet on the main screen.

"This is the profile of three prison gangs, from the FBI's database."

"The '19 Gang' is a gang that is mainly black and includes a small number of Latino prisoners. The leader is Kettle Porter. It is said that he is a very smart guy. He was involved in street gangs before he was imprisoned."

"This is the 'Baja Horned Dragon Gang' that controls Area B. The main members are DU traffickers. They are a group of mentally ill people who are obsessed with murder. The boss is called Moco Hernandez."

"The most troublesome thing is the 'Spicy Crispy Eagle'. Just by the name, you can tell who they are. The leader is Gunnar Card. He is cruel and vicious, with a very high IQ. He and his people are also the only party that refuses to communicate with the negotiation experts. .”

"Gunnar Card, heard of this guy, the LAPD knows his 'big name'."

"So what are the demands of the other two gangs?" Jack asked.

A prison contractor who called himself Ash Jones took the initiative.

"It's nothing more than improved meals, more outdoor time and spousal visits, nothing special."

"That's all? What about the casualties? How did it develop to such an extent?" Hong Duo felt something was wrong.

"Some of them killed each other. Except for the six prison guards who were taken hostage, all the wounded were rescued."

"The details I know are limited. It was the group of white supremacists who started the riot at the beginning. When the warden sent people to control them, the 'Baha Horned Dragon Gang' and the '19th Gang' took advantage of the chaos. .”

"Because of the presence of the hostages, my emergency response team was unable to deal with such a situation."

As Ash Jones said this, he took out his handkerchief again and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This is the main control room? What's the place next to it?" Jack clicked on the two middle rooms connecting the three areas of ABC.

"In the armory, both rooms have fallen. This is why we have lost all surveillance on this floor." Jessica Cortez glanced at the paper map in her hand and marked it on the screen.

"So, now the prisoners have the keys to all the cells on this floor, as well as the weapons and protective gear originally issued to the guards?"

Jack rolled his eyes, turned to Hondo and said, "I need a gas mask, enough tear gas, stun grenades, and more 7.62X51mm ammunition"

"Armored vehicles have ammo boxes that you can fill your backpack with."

Hondo also seemed to have a headache. There were more than 300 prisoners, an armory that was opened, and who knows how many traps these guys had set up inside to wait for them.

"You said we lost that layer of surveillance, what was that?" Deputy Captain Deacon asked, pointing to a monitor that suddenly had a signal.

"Someone turned on the surveillance in Area C?" Ash Jones asked in surprise.

Jessica Kertez tapped the shoulder of a technician in front of her, and the image on the monitor was zoomed in on the main screen.

"That's Gunnar Card, the leader of the Spicy Eagles. What does he want to do?"

I saw Gunnar Kade, who was wearing an orange prison uniform, with various eagle heads and swastikas tattooed on his neck and arms, beckoning out of the camera, and two of his men pushed an old man with gray hair to the camera forward.

"That's our warden, Phil Harvey," Ash Jones said, pointing at the screen.

In the video, the warden tremblingly raised a piece of cardboard in his hand, with only two words written on it, "Stay outside."

At the next moment, Gunnar Card pulled out a pistol from his waist and directly shot the warden in the head.
