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 suffering from a concussion and slight blood loss. He had not recovered much at this time and 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. Although he kills far more than ordinary agents, he is very decisive when shooting, but every time he shoots, he follows the procedure, or there is a reason to kill the criminal. .

Of course, Hotchner didn't know that when Jack was a patrol officer in the LAPD, he also intentionally broke the body-recording camera to carry out a "just verdict", but this person was usually overly cautious, and occasionally he would try to make use of the rules when he was deliberately trying to make things difficult. .

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, shooting Jack this time was really against the rules, 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 irreparable 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 people 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 aid, everything was already planned. conspiracy.

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 disguised as civilians still pretended to be enthusiastic citizens and approached Hotchner after detonating the bomb was to confirm the injuries of the two people and to allow their accomplices to drive an ambulance loaded with explosives and pretend to be first responders to appear smoothly on both sides. In front of an injured FBI.

This was an insurance policy. Regardless of whether the police had 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 cordoning off 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 one of them dies and the other is injured, then he only needs to put on a uniform to transform into a first responder responsible for driving.

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 disrupted by Jack who appeared in time, even though Joey Reacher was not the supervisor on duty for today's Secret Service protection mission, which resulted in him not getting the information that the person being protected by the Secret Service was the current president of Bolivia.

But later, when Garcia told him that the number he had tracked before was always near the ambulance, Jack would not hesitate to subdue the emergency personnel and then check the vehicle.

Now it's just a matter of improving his writing skills when writing the report, such as writing a sentence in which he noticed something was wrong with the first responder's expression, or behaved in a manner 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.

After just half a morning of writing the report, Rosie appeared at the door of Jack's office, holding her waist, and told him that the NSA and DHS had made a rare effort to remove the last "Dark" person involved in the terrorist attack early this morning. Jihad" members were arrested and brought to justice.

A total of 13 people participated in this terrorist attack. The mastermind 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 and was also an explosives 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 was from the Venezuelan special forces and was still in the somewhat mythical " Served as an instructor in the 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 Rossi came here specifically 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."

"That's really interesting. A guy who watched a bomb explode in front of his eyes through a layer of glass without being scared to death died of a heart attack in a single cell." Jack's tone was full of sarcasm.

"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 you should be careful when selecting wanted criminals to chase later. Let me tell you some good news." Rossi smiled very happily this time, from the bottom of his heart.

"You will receive an FBI Medal of Valor, and all members of the BAU operations team will receive an FBI Shield of Bravery."

Why do I suddenly feel like I have been appointed? It is obvious that this is not a formal decision. The decision to award this kind of medal will not be officially announced for 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 heroically injured in important missions. The only thing above that is the Memorial Star Medal, which can only be received by family members, because only family members can receive it. Awarded to the sacrificial agent.
