Under normal circumstances, when Cassel heard words like CIA and secret agent, and knew that there was a real former spy standing in front of him, he would have been so excited that he couldn't control himself.

At this moment, he did not have any extra thoughts at all. He sat in his seat pitifully, watching the two people communicating. Finally, he could not help but interrupted.

"So Sarah's dad is a super rich tycoon, Kim has a super spy dad and an equally super rich tycoon stepfather, but why Alexis? Why did they kidnap her?"

To be honest, Cassel's self-perception at this time was very accurate. In comparison, he was just a harmless, well-known writer with a little money.

“For the time being we still believe that Sara is the main target, and El Masri has just admitted that he had close ties with some of the previous leaders of the Egyptian government, which made him some pretty powerful enemies.

So the FBI suspects this may be an act of retaliation against him.”

In fact, Jack had no confidence in this judgment. He looked at the photo of the girl Sarah for a long time. Although she was very beautiful, he had no impression of her. He suspected that things were not that simple, but unfortunately there was no evidence for the time being.

"So Alexis and Kim were just implicated, right? They were in the wrong place at the wrong time?" There was a glimmer of hope in Cassel's eyes, but he found that the expressions of the two people opposite him were extremely ugly.

"This is not a good thing. Use your novelist brain to think about it carefully," Jack reminded.

After being reminded by him, Cassel immediately understood, "You mean, because Alexis and Kim are not the main targets, they may be..."

He stopped talking in horror midway through his words, and he didn't dare to think about what happened next. If Sarah was really the main target, then it was self-evident what kind of fate the other two beautiful girls who were just kidnapped would face when facing the vicious kidnappers.

What would happen to the worthless hostages? Would they become objects of sexual gratification to vent their tension or be killed to keep the secret? Why would the other party take the unnecessary risk of kidnapping three girls at once? Would they have other intentions? No one could answer these questions now.

Jack reopened the sealed door of the "SCIF" and led the two into the elevator. "My superior, Ms. Moger, is meeting with major New York media with NYPD Chief Reagan.

Soon all major TV stations will begin rolling out relevant news. We will appropriately exaggerate your worth and announce the identity of Kim's stepfather so that the kidnappers can quickly realize the value of the other two girls."

Only when the kidnappers know that Alexis and Kim are as valuable as Sarah and that they both come from super wealthy families will they focus on demanding the ransom.

Now they can only pray that the other party is really after money. Even if the kidnappers intend to take revenge on Elmasri by kidnapping Sarah, they should not refuse the other two hostages.

The elevator door opened with a ding-dong, and Jiejie, along with the wanted criminal team and Beckett, were already waiting here, carrying boxes of various sizes.

"What they're going to do next is go to your house and set up a bug to track the kidnapper's calls. Don't worry, Jiejie and the others are very experienced in this area. As long as the other party calls, they will do their best to guide things in the direction we want."

Jack quickly grabbed Cassel who was about to follow him and said, "As for you following me 24 hours from now on, I know you have a lot of friends, but believe me, the person who can help you the most is right in front of you."

Cassel was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Beckett. Seeing her nod slightly, he could only whisper to her, "Please take good care of Martha for me."

His mother, Martha, has always lived with the father and daughter.

"I want to ask some friends of mine for help. Maybe they can speed up the search for the kidnapper Roger Hansen." Brian said in a hoarse voice.

Jack handed him an anonymous mobile phone and said, "This phone is not monitored and you can use it without worry. But from now on, neither you nor Cassel are allowed to leave my side.

I know that you are all very capable people with many special channels and friends, and I don't mind you making use of your strengths when the time is right.

But before that, I hope you understand one thing. Now is not the time to act recklessly. This kidnapping case concerns the lives of three girls. Cooperation is the only way to solve this case.

I regard you as my friends, and I hope you will not betray my trust."

Jack said it with all his heart, and that was exactly what he thought.

Before, whether he was following the SEALs to Mexico, or working with Shenma Dongxi to deal with Japanese gangs in Korea, the roles played by Jack were all supporting roles.

It feels like being in a real movie scene. There is nothing wrong with following the protagonist. While experiencing the plot, you can occasionally show off and get some benefits for yourself.

In short, no matter whether you are following a single protagonist or a group of protagonists, even if Jack is completely unfamiliar with the plot, even if the plot has been completely changed due to the self-interpretation of the real world, it doesn't matter, just follow along to fill in the gaps.

After all, there are only so many routines in American TV dramas. If you see your favorite characters doing something flag-breaking, you can save a lot of tragedies by being a little alert, not to mention that he has the healing skills provided by the plug-in to cheat.

Of course, things have gotten out of control before, such as Matt Graver, the CIA agent who looked like Thanos and died unexpectedly in Mexico.

It was Matt's death that caused the original plan to fail, and in the end Jack had to take the lead and save the little girl Isabel.

Now this inexplicable kidnapping case seems to be even more difficult to deal with. I don’t know whether the plot collapse was caused by the special “kidnapped” halo of “rescue brother” Liam Neeson and his daughter, or if the plot of “Castle” went astray.

The result of this inexplicable linkage was difficult to predict, and Jack felt extremely unhappy that the situation was out of control from the very beginning.

Not to mention the abuse that the girls might face, just taking something like kidnapping as an example, a person might just disappear without a trace, and no one would know whether he is alive or dead.

In desperation, Jack could only unreasonably tie the two protagonists to his side, so that no matter where the plot went, he could intervene in time.

Fortunately, he is now considered a semi-legendary figure, barely famous. Cassell is now at a loss and often listens to stories and draws on them at gatherings, so he has a high degree of confidence in his abilities.

Brian's thinking was more rational. In addition, Jack just treated them as friends instead of just the victims' families, so he also chose to stay.

After all, he is just a retired CIA now. Even if he is not retired, for such cases happening in the country, the CIA will also have to ask the FBI for help.

Putting aside other things, he had never heard of a scene where there were hundreds of people in a combat center, all working together, each doing their own job and working hard for just one case.

There are also dozens of people in front of them, looking at their computer screens, searching for the van's route in countless dazzling traffic surveillance. Compared with one or two hackers tinkering there, their efficiency is so much higher that it's hard to tell.

"The final route has been determined." Alice suddenly stood up and excitedly projected a map onto the big screen.

"We found the van in the tunnel from Midtown Manhattan to Queens, and it went up Greenpoint Avenue, turned right at McGinnis Street, and then headed west on Huron Avenue."

"Where did you go in the end?" Cassel asked excitedly with a clenched fist.

“It’s not certain yet, but it’s basically in this area.”

Alice drew a small box on the map. "We retrieved the surveillance video from the surrounding intersections. The van never came out after entering this neighborhood."

Jack looked at the time. It had been nearly six hours since the three girls were kidnapped, so he simply gave the order.

"It was less than 20 blocks in total, so we notified the nearest NYPD station and sent all of our field agents to search the street for the van.

All personnel must travel in plain clothes and use disguised police cars. Report any incidents immediately. Any unauthorized actions are strictly prohibited!"
